Last May the newspapers of the countr.v gave an account of the finding of a white girl, aged 17, among the Osage Indians and the taking of her by force fr«>:n rhe home of an aged Osage chief. I ri-tryhair, who had been attempting to compel her to marry him. The girl was rescued through pho prompt action of the I iut< d States attorney for Oklahoma, Horace Speed, by whose orders two United States deputy marshals went to the tepee of Prettyhair and with Winchesters forced the old chief to deliver to them the white girl, his adopted daughter.

Through the newspapers an appeal was made to secure for Alary Truegiver a home in a Christian family and replies were received by Mr. Speed from almost every State in the Union. Just before he had determined on placing the girl m the home of a Meth-dist minister at St. Louis a letter was received from relatives of the girl and she has now been sent to an aunt living near Cedarville, Kan.

FARMERS’ NATIONAL CONGRESS, j Twenty - Third Annual Meeting Is { Held at Niagara Falls. The farmers' national congress assembled at Niagara Falls in twenty-third annual session, being called to order by President Flanders of Albany. Gov. 1 Odell delivered an address of welcome. About 390 delegates representing thir- 1 ty-eight States were present. Reciprocity treaties, good roads, labor questions and | the ownership of public utilities were j among the subjects discussed. Major D. G. Purse of Savannah. Ga., gave an address on "The Sugar Supply J of the United Stater.” Major Purse declared that sugar is the only product of the soil which is largely used that ; makes the United States debtor to for- j eign lands for supply. He believed this ' big deficiency could lie made up by fostering both cane and beet sugar growing. ; At present the United States uses 2,275,746 long tons of sugar yearly, of which but 500,000 tons are produced at home. In the general discussion which followed all the delegates agreed that the United States would ultimately produce ■ all the sugar it uses. Timothy Woodruff addressed the as- ' ternoon session of the congress on agricultural conditions in the insular posses- j sions of the United States. Secretary Cortelyou of the Department of Labor and Commerce explained the purposes of the new department to the farmers. At the evening session O. P. Austin, I chief of the bureau of statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor, j gave an address on “Farm Products in th* Markets of the World.” Mr. Austin “' sTa t~i “SftU.fr'>m IS7O to 1900 the population has increased TVli agricultural exirirts 130 per cent, but that the increase in the’number of people engaged in agricultural work has been only 75 per cent. Os wheat, the United i States produced 49 per cent of the world’s production, against 37.9 per cent in 1875. 'Hie United States also produces i three-fourths of the world’s corn, threei fourths of the world’s cotton and 40 per i cent of the provisions used iu intema- ; tional commerce.

The farmers’ congress passed mild resolutions on the question of trusts. Th# congress adopted this resolution and others as follows: Favoring an agricultural census every five years instead of ten. Favoring the admission of Oklahoma on the ground that its agricultural interests are of sufficient importance to demand admission. Asking Congress to establish postal savings banks and parcels posts. Requesting the States to pay the expenses of delegates to, the meetings of the congress hereafter. Recommending farmers to give more attention to the referendum movement, but goes no further. Requesting Congress to submit an amendment to the Constitution for a graduated income tax. The congress accepted an invitation from the National Civic Federation to send represciitati ves to the industrial conference to be held in Chicago Oct. 15 to 17.

fe^ASJCIAL ww 'll v I R ' G ’ ^ un C®’ l NeV lOrk. , M'cekly Review of Trade Notwithstanding s-weral unsatisfactory features, the volume of trade continues large and the distribution of merchandise taxes shipping facilities. Announcement of a concerted effort to restrict production of pig iron indicates that supplies have begun to accumulate. Railway earnings continue to show gains, for Septemb.r thus far exceeding last year's by 8.7 per cent, and th.se of 1901 by 17.2 per e-nt. New labor controversies have begun, but a numbi-r of serious troubles have been averted, ami on the whole tin- numImt of men idle voluntarily has diminished. Enforced idleness in the iron and steel industry is more than offset by the resumption of spindles at cotton mills, and there is great activity at footwear factories, although the margin of profit is narrow. Lower prices for the leading agricultural s’nples indicate a general belief in improved crop prospects.

Jobbing trade is still making good comparisons with previous years and. while the zenith has been passed in fall dry goods, it is oill a satisfactory season. At many important points the we..-, t , and collections are fairly | sidering the tightness of the money Tnuri ket. , i The decline in stock valCtliCdQO. uc>s as reflected on Wall I street creates no he Ration j in local trade, and while grain has suffered a sharp decline, the market for breadstuffs is in a healthier conditi ra and trading largely increased. The industrial situation furnishes no evidence ’of curtailed production. Labor is we:! employed, wages good an 1 the mills and 1 factories are pressed to the limit of capacity. Earnings of western roads run ahead of a year ago. and increasing congestion of traffic indicates the urgent need for additional equipment, particularly for tile marketing of emps. Distribution of fa.i | merchandise has not yet reached the diminishing point. Mercantile collections i generally are good. Dealings in breadstuffs were largely in- : fluenced by the better crop conditions, ' and the volume of business was heaviest ; this season. Buying both for domestic and foreign accounts was unusually ■ strong, but on the free offerings nnd reassuring reports of a 2J M h i,( MJO.OOO-busnel crop of corn prices weakened in all the pits.
