Night Wa' liman Erskine discovered four men approaching the bank at 1 o'clock. One of the mon cornered him and kept him covered with a rifle for three hours while another broke open the bank door and worked on the safe. The other two men patrolled the street and by a system of signals were able to bold at bay a dentist, a physician and two or three other citizens who were attracted to the scene. Five dynamite shots were fired by the man in the bank before he succeeded in getting at the cash box. Tho sum secured was mostly silver, although it inchided a quantity of currency. At I o'clock the four men left the bank and disappeared, after tiring a number of slims to terrify those who had seen them and shooting tl.rough a door in an effort to hit Erskine, who had opened tiro. A general alarm was given and a posse quickly formed. Bloodhounds were put on trail of the robbers.

TO MAKE A CHILD WALK. This Man Crossed the Ocean and Will Receive $20,000. The interest of a large part of the med-ico-surgical fraternity of this country and Europe has lately been directed toward

Chicago, where Dr. Adolf Lorenz, having come all the way from Vienna, is endeavoring to create in Lolita Armour the power to walk. This grandchild < f I’hil Armour, the famous meat man, and daughter of J. Ogden Armour, has from birth had a dislocated hip. Some ; of the greatest surgeons in this coun-

tiy have been consumed in the hope that relief might come to her, and two years ago an operation was performed. A fortune had been promised the surgeon if he succeeded. A few months ago Mrs. Armour was in \ ienna. and she met Dr. Lorenz, who is the head of the department of orthopaedic surgery in the University of Vienna. She engaged him to come to this country and treat her child, the inducement she held out to him, in the event of his success, being $20,000. He accepted the offer and the operation was recently performed. He drew the afflicted limb down so that the hip bone came I* low the socket of the hip, into which it ought normally to fit. The limb will be enclosed in plaster of paris six months, but the child will _____ not be permitted to

tions. Since operating on the Armour child he has performed similar operations on many poor children. There was no charge for these, which were merely to demonstrate the method employed before the Medical Society of Chicago. With a long, flowing beard, high forehead and fine carriage. Dr. Lorenz looks as though he might be a modern reincarnation of Aesculapius. He speaks fluently several languages, has kindly eyes and marvels at the greatness of the United States.

MRS. STANTON, days or hours.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton may truly be called the "grand old woman” of the suffragists. She was one of the signers of the call for the first woman suffrage convention, which was hold at Seneca Falls, N. Y., on July 8, 1848. She is the only signer of that call who has stuck to ^A^—ggUirs_th rough out tbe years and has neve^ ^en"Tegun?"al-" , though she has faced storms and hurricanes of ridicule and vituperation. Mrs. Stanton was boro of Puritan ancestry at Johnstown, N. Y„ Nov. 12, 1816. Her father was a distinguished lawyer of tho time. She was educated at Mrs. Willard’s Seminary at Troy. She was married in 1840. went abroad, and on her return took up abolition. No convention of woman suffragists was complete without Mrs. Stanton. When Mrs. Stanton's father, Judge Cady, heard of her resolution. "That it is the duly of the women of this country to secure to themselves their sacred rights to the elective franchise,” he was impressed with the idea that her mind had become deranged ami hastened from Johnstown to Seneca Falls to cure for her. He tried to reason with her cn the elective franchise question, but failed to move her from her purpose. SNYDER IS FOUND GUILTY. St. Louis Man Accused of Bribery Given Five Years.

WOcjaU R, v “No better evidence hBV YOFK. htdustrial and commercial ** — activity is needed than present inadequate transportation facilities. Every form of railway equipment, from track to rolling stock, has been increased and perfected during the last few years to an extent that appeared al most excessive, yet the nation's busimss has more than kept pace. Unseasonably mild weather has retarded retail trade at many points, yet tbe movem nt of goods is fully sustained by uudiminbhed preparations for future sales. Distribution delayed by high temperature is not lost, while the agricultural community will profit very materially by the tarJiness of frost, increasing their ability to consume the produts of factories and mills.” ’The foregoing is from the Weekly Trade Review of R. G. Dun iV Co. It continues: Labor is more fully employed than nt any recent date, only a few small controversies interrupting. Money market pressure has been removed, and, although securities do not respond, legitimate trade is not retarded by’ quiet speculation. Earnings of the railwl|^ during October thus far exceed last y< *' • v 4.5 per cent, and those of 1900 by I - cent. Coke is still thp in the on and steef situation. ->u[ un...TlTTno —

improvement occurred, but the supply of fuel is falling further behind and the outlook is alarming. Fig iron is iu great demand, imports promising to gontinm large, and as the higher duty on steel vil! not be exacted, there is reason to anticipate a liberal movement from Germany The demand for rails is so great that large purchases abroad are being negotiated, while practically all railway supplies find an eager market. Structural shapes and other heavy lines of steel are in a strong position, but there is evidence of irregularity in wire rods, and actual weakness in a few lines that are now offered freely. Tin plate manufacturers are making a hard fight to secure the arge foreign business done here under the drawback arrangement, and a new method of production is being perfected that promises to cheapen the cost. Among the other metals both tin and copper advanced sharply, but the former reacted.

Failures for the week numbered 232 in the United States, against 240 last year, and 22 in Canada, compared with 29. Bradstreet's weekly commercial report says: Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending Oct. 23 aggregate 7,060.317 bushels, the largest total for fourteen months past, against 5.240,688 last week.. 4,952 in this week last year and 4,932,978 in 1900. Wheat exports since July 1 aggregate 85.431,317 bushels, against 100,056.051 last season and 60.235.143 in 1900. For the fiscal year exports are 1.1'42,839 bushels, against 16,133,131 last season and 53,460,342 in 1900. 1 Highly encouraging are the reports from the imlj»trial field. Manufacturing, companies have a good volume of business and in many lines are not selling more only because they cannot make more. Jobbing trade is satisfactory on the whole, A touch oL cold weather would be welcomed in the Northwest to draw the farmers n^u^heir active xxork at home and turn t ■ n to f:il’ • r.'.uijroTni-ntn. Tin's would liven up -p—---tail trade, which is reported a little quiet in some localities. The railroads are doing a business heavy beyond precedent. We no longer bear the loud complaints, so common at this time last year, when the situation was not much worse, of the scarcity of cars. With all the new equipment added since then and witli more coming into use daily, the roads are still overtaxed. The grain movement is affected seriously. But shippers realize the situation better now and are slower to lodge complaints. In the Northwest it is believed that th< movement of coarse grains, the bea\iesi ever known, has passed its maximmn point and that from this time on more wheat will come instead.. Uountry elevator stocks are larger than at this time last year, while wheat stocks in Minneapolis and Duluth are about 10.000,(XJObushels less than last year. There Ims been some slight growth of reactionary feeling during the week due to the recent sharp advance in wheat and the fact that a number of bearish items are seer, in the world's statistics. T' - heavy Russian wheat and rye crops me dwelt upon as influences making fur ultimate price depression, as is the large i increase in Manitoba interior stocks and I the fact that in four weeks the worlds visible supply of wheat increased 35.500.bushels, cou’.pnred with «ui 9,(K)0.00<) Imsheis in the corresponding four weeks last year. Yet the tacts remain that there is scarcely any wheat in store in Minneapolis and the movement I is not heavy, while the flour mills have I been grinding at a rate to make new records in flour production, and outside millers have also been heavy buyers in this 1 market. The fact that prices are not too ! high to do business in competition abroad would seem clear from the continued ex-
