BIG LAKE SHIPMENTS.

INCREASE IN COMMERCE DURING JULY. Strike la Like Superior Ore Region Falla to Deerenoe Movement aa a j Whole —Robber* Dynamite Safe of Sooth Dakota Bank. Considerable gains in lake commerce during July'are shown by receipts of leading classes of merchandise at the various lake ports, compared with the earlier months of the year and corresponding periods of the preceding two years. The strike in the Lake Superior ore region did not result in a decrease of tbe commercial movement as a whole. Total receipts during July amounting to ’11,098,373 tons, were G per cent in excess of those of 190 G and 19 per cent in excess of corresponding 1905 figures. As a result of the strike, wheat rates from Duluth to lower lake ports, which had been about 2% ceqjs a bushel, fell to 1 Cent, and! increased the wheat shipment* from Duluth and Superior by over 80 per cent, from 2,210,205 to 4,029,805 bushels. Receipts of ore from domestic porta vbow a shrinkage of about a quarter of a million tons,, falling from 5,093,234 tons during July, 190 G, to 5,408,147. Dumber receipts also are smaller than a year ago, the greatest losses being recorded by Lake Superior ports. An interesting point revealed is tbe increase in the average size of the vessels plying on the great lakes, amounting to over 100 tons for tbe year.

CUBA COSTS MILLIONS.

Ilipeawi of Army of Pacification #2,554,970 for 1007. It cost the American government $2,554,970, in addition to the regular ordinary expense, to keep the American army of Cuban pacification in that is.and during the fiscal year of 1907. This fact is shown In the annual report of Gen. Aleshiro, quartermaster general of the army. Of the amount stated $1,015,383 was spent for transportation.. .Gen. Aleshire devotes a few words tt the work of the quartermaster’s department and its ramifications over a great portioD of the world covered by the United States and its territorial possessions, at the same time pointing out that the strength of the corps consisted of but ninety-six commissioned officers and 200 post quartermaster sergeants, in addition to seventy-six line officers who were detailed in connection with the department’s work. y The general points out the urgent necessity for such an increase in the number of commissioned officers as will relieve the department from the necessity of calling upon line officers to perform its duties; also for an increase in the number of poet quartermaster sergeants and the creation of a general service corps fer the work »f the department. Gea. Aleshire expresses the opinion that the limit of cost, now $20,000 for buildings, which can be constructed without special authority of Congress ought to be increased to SOO,OOO. This 4s especially urgent with reference to hospitals. He says that carefully prepared statletics 6how that the prices of nearly all the lumber used In ordinary construction have advanced fully 100 per cent since 1904, and the higher grades of finishing lumber even more than that. Because It is economical the bulk of the coal required for the trana-Pacific transport service Is procured at Nagasaki, Japan, where upon the return trip to the United States all transports take aboard coal to their cargo capacity. The coaling is done very rapidly, as much as 3,063 tons having been put aboard in a workIn* day of ten hours.

DIE IN IOWA WRECK.

ROCK ISLAND EXPRESS COLLIDES WITH freight; Accident at Norris Siding—Nearly All Men on Train Injured and Work of Rescue Devolves on WoW«». •• ■" , • . ■-i .» Twelve persons were killed and twelve seriously injured in the wreck of the north bound express on the Rock Island Road Friday aftdrnoon at Nod ris, a little station three miles north of Cedar Falls, la. The express, which was ten minutes late, was thundering along in the effort to make up the lost time. On the siding was a. long freight train waiting for the expresßTTP pass. Just as the engine of the express came opposite the freight engine the trucks of tbe express left the track and the engine crashed with terrific force into the engine of the freight, wrecking both locomotives, telescoping the baggage and mail cars and demolishing the smoking ear, nearly every seat of which was occupied. 9

Women Aid In Reacne. It was among the occupants of this car that ail the fatalities occurred, none of the passengers in the two day coaches following thes moker being injured beyond a violent shaking up. As nearly all the men on the train were in the smoker, the work of rescue devolved almost entirely on the women passengers, all of whom assisted heroically in removing the dead and Injured from the wreck. The only man in the smoker who escaped injury, was the newsdealer, who was thrown through the broken roof and landed unhurt. One of the unidentified dead is a young man about 20 years old, in whose pocket was fonud a ticket bearing the words “Lakeland street, Chicago.” The engineer and fireman on the express train stuck to their posts and were thrown away from the wreckage. Following are the names of the dead: Oliver, P. 8., Waterloo, la. ; Goodman, Will, Waterloo; Watson, John N., Waterloo; Landphere, C. L., Shell Rock; Johnson, W. Ray, Dike,; Christy, B. R., Minneapolis, Minn.; Toja, Lepovan, Hammond, Ind.; laborer, name unknown, Hammond, Ind.; three unknown men; Bedpan, address unknown.—- - . —: ;

Those “Seriously injured were: Newell, J. A., Illinois Central conductor, Waterloo, la.; Shaw, John, Waterloo; O’Keefe, Dr. C. J., Marble Rock; Douglas, J. 11., Waterloo; Evenson, Thomas, Mora, Minn.; Martin, O. H., mail clerk, West Liberty; Steppierre, Edward, Minneapolis, Minn.; Crisxen, Trocoin, St. Phul, Minn.; McMahon, 11., fireman, Cedar Rapids, la.; Mason, Albert, engineer, Cedar Rapids ; Welllver, A. L., lineman, Cedar Rapids; Kinch, F., engineer, Cedar Rapids; Meyers, W. 11., baggageman, Burlington. Injured Man Refuses Aid. Rescuers were immediately at hand to care Tor the injured and to take the dead from among the wreckage. Sitting in the midst of the wreckage was Dr. Charles J. O’Keefe, who. although badly injured, little .realized how seriously he was hurt. With heroic fortitude, while suffering intense pain, he waved the rescuers aside and directed them to the assistance of those who he thought were in a more serious contMtloa than himself for tn front of him and behind him on all sides were men writhing and groaning in the agony of their sufferings. Physicians and hospital attendants were hastily taken to Norris on a special train, and pending their arrival such medical relief as the little station afforded was given the injured.

First Steel Pullman.

A late number of the Railway Age describes the first Pullman sleeper to be built entirely of metal, which has recently been completed. This car has attracted unusual attention from railroad officers, not only on account of tire novelty of its construction, but because of its decorative features, which are said to have all the beauty of graceful outline and pleasing color treatment which are characteristic of recent Pullman cars built of wood. This applies to the exterior as well as to the interior finish. It was the intention of the builders to make it fireproof by the entire exclusion of wood, and the fram;tm throughout is of steel, and the finish is of steel, aluminum or brass. All the rivets in the side sheeting are countersunk and the whole surface is smoothly finished. There is a double flow construction and the insulating material in the sides and ends consists of two thicknesses of asbestos board placed between the sheeting and extending from the side sill to the side plates. The floor of the car is formed of monolith cement laid on corrugated iron of keystone section. This construction has contributed materially to making the car rhle very quietly, and it will also overcome the objection to steeT r in preventing any disvcomfort due to extremes of heat and cold. The seat frames are of pressed steel. The plush seat curtains and the carpet are of old rose Color. The window sashes are made, of brass. All the inside metal work is painted a pearl gray, with gold ornamental lines.

TWO WOMEN'S DEVOTION

May Yet Ilrinjc Freedom to Caleb Towera of Kculucky. .. ■' While nothing definite is yet known as to the time of Caleb- Powers’ next ■ trial, recently deferred, on the charge of murdering G6v. William Goebel 0 f Kentucky, the preparations are being made and when the case is again called his defense will be complete. Incarcerated for seven years for a ‘murder which changed the political history of a State, outlawed its Governor and wrecked many homes, Powers, who at the age of 30 years was Secretary of State for Kentucky; is still fighting desperately for his life and liberty., Three times already Caleb Powers has been condemned for participation in the Goebel assassination; three times he has been granted new trials. TO his mother and his old school teacher he is indebted for at least two of these. Almost immediately after the murder Powers was arrested while trying to escape in disguise. On Aug. 19 following, j a jury pronounced him guilty of complicity in the assassination and fixed his punishment at life imprisonment. He was a man of some little means and his political friends, partly considering his trial as one arraigning his party before the world, came to his aid and a new trial was granted. "It was a coward’s shot which slew Goebel, and Caleb is not a coward.” This is what Mrs. Rebecca Powers, the mother of the prisoner, said at the first trial. This is what she said after the appeal was successful, and this is what she made many others believe by consistant reiteration. “I knpw Caleb Is not a coward, ,and 1 also know he had no connection with the* deep damnation of Goebel’s taking off.” This was the downright answer to every charge made against the prisoner returned by Mrs. Lulie Clay Brock, who

CALEB POWERS.

taught the young man when he was a youngster and who remembered the slight blue-eyed boy who called her his “second mother.” -- But the convictions of these women had no weight with the second jury which passed upon the guilt or innocence of the man. So on Oct. 28, 1901, these twelve men brought in a verdict of guilty, and again was the prisoner sentenced to the penitentiary for his natural life. i In the meantime, however, and before Gov. Taylor left the State as a fugitive from justice to prevent arrest and arraignment for complicity in the same assassination, the executive granted a pardon to the prisoner., The Supreme Court of the State declared this pardon void, holding that Taylor had ceased to be Governor at the time it was issued. But the feeble old mother fiever ceased praying for *her son’s freedom. Nor did she waver in her faith as to his innocence. She had impoverished herself, having sold her little farm and moved to the home of a daughter, to aid in raising finances for the son to continue his battle against what seemed to be overpowering odds. Then came the third trial. She was living in an humble cottage in Barboursville, and every evening she could be found standing at the gate, hfir very soul crying out for a verdict of “innocent.” Finally the verdict was carried to her, but it was as far from that expected and hoped for as day is from night. It was on the evening of Aug. 29, 1903, that she learned that a third jury had condemned her boy to death. Holding herself steadily erect, the aged woman made but one comment: “My son is innocent; my sole prayer now is to the God of the fatherless and, the widow that he will open the eyes and soften the hearts of those enemies of Caleb who seem determined to have hi* life. But both he and I will live to prove to the he had no connection with the crime.” ;>

Prior to this trial Powers had used up about all the funds he could secure. Now he was pretty well discouraged. Again did a woman come to his rescue. In the mountain school at Flemlngsburg, Caleb Powers had inspired that affection in Mrs. Brock which was to bring forth a harvest that made a fourth trial possible. Not withstanding her 54 years she gave up a) her time to-raising a fund for Poweri defense. She resigned from the littli school and traveled the length and breadth of the State in behalf of her former pupil. She was particularly successful among the women of the State, and it was her spirit, which she imparted to others, that made the fourth trial a certainty. One of the attendants will be the prisoner's mother. She says she cannot bear the suspense which was hers while awaiting the'verdict in the third trial, and she is confident that the prejudices of former juries will not be a part of the make-op of the next which will try her boy. Whatever the outcome of the trial, the prisoner ia bearing up with remarkable fortitude.

Pritchard Sure He Is Right.

United States Circuit Judge Pritchard, in an opinion recently announced at Asheville, N. 0, strongly affirms the jurisdiction of his court in the Issuance of the recent injunctions against Officials during the railroad rate controversy. He declares that a State Legislature cannot so frame an act as to deprive a citizen of a right vouchsafed him by the federal constitution or to deprive the Federal Court of Its jurdsdirtioo.

BANDITS ROB TRAIN.

OMAHA AND TEXAS EXPRESS HELD UP. Robber* Ride a* Passengers and Cow Train Crew witb Revolvers— Occupants of CoHcbea Stripped of Money and Valuables. Spectacular raids of the Dalton gang nnd tlie Jackson Hole outlaws were recalled Friday when the Omaha and Texas express on the Rock Island Railroad was held up by three masked men near Murdock, Neb., and the passengers stripped of money and jewels, while the train, crew was terrorized. The robbery was one of the boldest and most successful in the history of the State. The robbers went through the chair car, robbing every passenger therein, securing their pocketbooks and purses, covered the train crew w T ith revolvers and escaped by leaping from the traln. -

The robbers were passengers on thetrain. Shortly after leaving Murdock the men arose in their seats, their faces covered with masks, and, with revolvers in each hand covered the passengers. Then*the leader ordered everybody to keep still and not resist else they would be shot. Two men went down the aisle with hats in hand, while "tiie third kept the passengers covered. All passengers were ordered to throw* their pocketbooks Into the hats, and this was done. The conductor appeared in the car with a pistol in his hand, but was promptly covered with four guns and forced to drop his revolver. After getting all the money in the car, the robbers jumped from the train, which was slowed down for a grade. An attempt was made to enter the sleeper section, but tiro was lacked The Rock Island robbery is the first notable, train holdup in that section since the series of sensational raids along the Union Pacific several years ago by the famous Jackson’s Hole band of robbers. For a long time every express train running between Omaha and the West was protected by armed guards, and big rewards offered by the railroads for the detection of the bandits spurred local sheriffs to such activity that train robbing became a lost art. More recently the precautions have been abated, and the daring and nerve of the Murdock bandits convince the iX)lice that some of the members of the old Jackson’s Hole band again have taken the road.

PLAGUE IN FRISCO.

Government la to Flight Black Death On Pacific Coast. A section of San Francisco is in the grip of the bubonic plague, commonly known as the “black death,” and the Mayor has appealed to President Roosevelt for aid. The public health and marine hospital service has been instructed to take charge of the situation on the Pacific coast. While calling on the government for assistance in stamping out and preventing the further spread of the contagion, the Frisco authorities promise whatever financial assistance the city is able to stand. It is urged that heroic measures must at once be adopted to prevent the disease getting a strong foothold on the coast Acting promptly on Instructions from Oyster My, Surgeon General Wyman issued the necessary orders placing the public health and marine hospital service in charge of the situation. Gen. Wyman also notified the Mayor of San Francisco that the corps of service officers already on duty there would be augmented and additional measures taken to check the spread of the disease. It is believed the appeal of the Frisco officials shows the situation has become extremely dangerous and will require great care in handling. Government health officers have been stationed there for some time and measures were taken to prevent the spread of the disease to other ports through shipping, but the plague seems to have gained a stronger foothold in the city In spite of the efforts of the officers.

HAWKB AND OWLB DEFENDED.

Biological Survey Bnrean Declare* Farmer* Are Unjust. A defense of hawks and owis is entered into by the biological survey in a recent report from that bureau. It is declared that both of these bird families have been condemned by the farmers of the oountry without discrimination because some of their species are destroyers of valuable things. Mitigating circumstances are found for some otherwise harmless birds becausf of a lack of proper food in the country where they live. Incidentally, tales of eagles carrying off children are declared to have little “foundation in fact,” but the bald eagle, the emblem of the United States, is, nevertheless, said to be “unfortunately fond of ' lambs, pigs and poultry and in the more thickly inhabited regions probably does as much damage oa the golden eagle.” The golden eagle, say the experts, has been known to attack calves and colts and to have carried away from one range in the West in a single year more than 400 lambs. Tbs report of the survey divides the hawk and owl families Into four general species as follows: Species wholly beneficial ; those chiefly beneficial; those ia wliich beneficial and harmful qualities are about balance; harmful special. Some of these birds may be good dtlaens in one locality and extremely “undesirable citizens” in another.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

CHICAGO. Fall Operations have opened up under financial conditions without any immediate prospect of relief. September dividend payments afforded some loosening of money, although the effect was only temporary. The discount rate remain* firm at the highest cost -this season, but the offerings of paper by the manufacturing interests are less urgent and th» banks stand better prepared to meet the increasing withdrawals of eurrencf tomove crops. . Business generally shows no decided interruption in its leading activities, and consumption of raw and finished product* remains unabated. Heavy producers continue so well supplied with forward work it is not found necessary to curtail employment of machinery and labor. Much encouragement for the future i* drawn from agricultural advices indicating progress in harvesting and further advance in the corn growth throughout theprincipal surplus States. Mercantile collections in the West occasion little comment, and the default* are lower in numbers and liabilities. Wholesale markets show an exceptionally large attendance of visiting merchant*from the West and South, and the buying of fall and winter merchandise compares favorably witfi a year ago. Foreign demands caused increased activity in. grain and flour, and values have again risen to a new high average^for the leading breadstuffs, and there is also improved demand for provisions and livestock. Failures reported in the Chicago district numbered against 24 last week, and 17 a year ago.—Dun’s Review.

NEW YORK. The more cheerful tone of matters financial is reflected in the reports of expanding trade at large jobbing centers on fall account. Conservatism in buying is, however, still enforced by money market conditions, anj| purchases are not so large as they are numerous at many markets. Relatively the best reports; came from leading northwestern and southwestern centers, which apparently find crops turning out better than earlier anticipated. One feature desurying attention is the reported less noteworthy buying of complete new stocks of goods, which Is apparently a result of money conditions. Quite a few cities report trade as a whole ahead of the fall season of 1906, the crop outlook in those sections no doubt influencing buying. Collections show improvement in different localities, but as a whole are still slow. —- Bradstreet’s Report.
