Printing
INHERE are many kinds of Printing,
but there is very little of it good
for the eyes. It takes more to be a
Printer than most people wot of.
Printers vary in skill as much as the
maiden and the Maestro. There are
vizards at typesetting and arrange-
ment. Will you let us work you a
wonder in type ?
Citbogtapb^
JS the poesy of Printing on a stone
„ scroll. It calls for high art and an
artist. A Lithographed inscription
done in good taste by a skilled hand
makes "PLEASE REMIT" a musical
murmur, and " WE WILL DRAW ON
YOU," a benediction. Our work in
this line is equal to the best in America.

TRADE FOR THE WEEK.
The Strike Has Stopped Iron Fur-
naces but Demand Shrinks.
Wheat's Lowest,
FAILURES NOT IMPORTANT,
Boston Wool Market Domoralized—Increase
in Some Lines and Especially South and
West— Dun and Bradstreet.
Now York, June 1. 11. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade s.iys:
It Is a sign of Cheering import that in
finished business rfrpiv nted by clearings
and railway tonnage Hi we lias been less
decrease since the sjtril<< began than might
have been expected.
Meanwhile the consequent interruption of
traffic and industry increases. The stop-
page of iron furnaces between the Alle-
gheny mountains and the .Mississippi river
has become complete and a great number
of concerns manufacturing iron and others
requiring soft coal} or coke have been
forced to stop. Business can not. increase
in vo'Iume under snpih circumstances, and
yet payments through all clearing -houses
for the week show d d.-neuse of only 20.8
per cent corn-pared with la.-; year.
Though a large number of works are idle,
•the demand for product is not what might
i be expected, either in volume or urgency,
j The output of iron and ! has been sud-
1 denly and sharply reduced, but the reduced
supply seems about as sufllcient for tho de-
mand us ii was a rnomii ago, except in
bessemer. Sales of smajl 'ois of bessemer
pig at places as distant as West Troy and
Dulut'h for transportati n the Carnegie
works near Pittsburg <1 - '. jse how com-
pletely stocks are exhan.-o ,1, and sales for
delivery in duly and August at $11.(HI to
$11.15, 4 price $1.«) highei ,lian prevailed a
few w<feks ago, indicate the belief that the
termination of the strike will not soon
bring back the old prices, but. for mo«*t
products, notwithstanding the interruption,
the demand Is narrow an l buyers feel that
the present advance is bur temporary.
Shipments of boots an J shoes for the
week j lid for the pasr f uir weeks are a
little larger than a year .uu. and there un-
orders for some staple proluets to warrant
work for some time to come; but many fac-
tories are discharging cutters or otherwise
reducing hands because their orders do not
justify hope of running much longer.
•Sales of wool at three chief markets have
been ."84,000 pounds for the week, against
2,770,000 pounds last week about G.0')0,000
pounds per week 'being required from those
markets for a fall supply. New fine torri-
ory and Texas wool lias sold at 8 to 0
cents, and 30 to 32 cent -, cleaned, appears
to be about the ruling p. -. ibut »at Boston
demoralization makes pr.'.-s nominal.
Again, the lowest price ever recorded has
been made for cash wheat, ."6 cents at New
York against 75 cents a y.-ar ago, while the
average in May, 1892, was 00 cents, and in
April, 1891, $1.18%. Western receipts are
naturally small, only 1,""»N,864 bushels for
the week against 2,910. nn last year; but
Atlantic exports were vnly 807,800 bushels
against 2.241,010 last year.'
Corn is stronger, with exports about one-
half as large as a year ago, and the un-
favorable outlook for oats results in a
higher price.
Pork products are weak with continuing
large receipts.
Cotton has varied litt'.e, though receipts
from plantations have fallen off, for stocks
in sight are very large; a new crop, for
which prospects are decidedly good, is
drawing near, and the demand for goods
uncertain.
Liabilities reported in -the failures for
the fourth week of May were $2."»93,0S7. and
for four -weeks ending May, $11,391,042, of
which $1,44.">,605 were of manufacturing and
$5,806,891 of trading concerns. Reports yet
to come may increase the aggregate to
$14,000,000 for the month. Failures this
week have -been 18:5 in the United {States
against 283 last year, and 27 In Canada
against 21 last year. Only .two failures,
both banking, are for >100,000 or more.
DEPRESSION W ITH EXCEPTIONS.
New York, June 1. Hradetreet's to-mor-
row will say: The decidedly unfavorable
condition of general trade reported last
week continues without material improve-
ment. Continued delay of tariff legislation
prolongs the stifling effect on wholesale
business. The great coal strike continues
without sign of early improvement, no eon-
cession having been made by either side.
More mills, factori- - and furnaces have
closed their doors for want of fuel. The
pig iron industry of the central and west-
ern states its practically at a standstill for
want of soft coal or coke. At Pittsburg
and vicinity the scarcity of coal has great-
ly stagnated busims. There are no new
labor strikes of importance to record, but
almost all of those previously reported are
in existence.
The favorable features come from Du-
luth, Omaha, Augusta and Jacksonville.
Improvement of trade at the Lake Superior
ports is largely due i" the rapid*shipments
of bituminous coal which had been accu-
mulated.
Needed rains throughout Nebraska have
improved that state crop prospects and
caused more active purchases from Omaha
jobbers.
Augusta, Ga., reports a gain of the vol-
ume of business as compared with the last
three weeks, and ili>: cotton manufactur-
ers have orders ahe;a! and are running on
full time, while m- 'I rains throughout
the Florida vegetabh districts have stim-
ulated demand so that Jacksonville trade
la brisk.
At most western cities there has been
practically no chant from the depression
of last week. < . i --ions in prices for
woolens for futun I'livery fall to secure
purchasers from England manufac-
turers.
Shipments of sho- :ioin Boston have in-
creased and are ab".: equal to those of a
j year ago, and cott goads mills, where not
! affected by the strik are running on full
! time, but at cut prl-
I Philadelphia tex;. _manufacturers are
operating from 50 i "> per cent of their
plains, but on on) on:*y.
At Baltimore sa, " report orders fair-
ly frequent, but of .nal.er volume than
heretofore, with the aitlook for Improve-
ment and slower <■ -eilons.
The price movem in various staples
continues the rc-c i I of last week and
week before, with essions in quotations
for wool, cotton goods, cattle, wheat, pork
and coffee, and mo<l--> >te advances for oats
and lard. Steel bill- bituminous and an-
thracite coal, and l; saemer pig iron ad-
vanced, owing to c> o-eity of fuel.
There are 181> mei utile failures report-
ed throughout the n.ited.States this week
against 2?,7 last --.1 in the week a
year ago. 163 two years ago, and 21lo three
years ago.
Exports of wh'-at Hour included—(both
coasts, T.'nited States and Canada, amount
to 2,H-0,000 this w^ek against 2.310,000 bush-
els last week, M,25:1,000 bushels the lust
week of May, 180:;. 2.S91.000 bushels in a like
period of 1892, and 2,097,000 in 1891.
General trade remains exceedingly dull
at larger business centers in the Canadian
dominion, the depression having been in-
tensified somewhat by unsettled or other-
wise unfavorable weather. There are :»G
business failures reported from Canada
this week against 29 last week and a like
num/ber In the week a year ago, and 111 in
1892.
BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL.
New York, June l.—lh'adstreet's financial
review to-morrow will say: Wall street
apparently regards tin* fate of the sugar
schedule of the senate tariff bill as likely
to decide the immediate tendency of specu-
lative values. The prospects of a prolonged
debate and the uncertainty regardng the
outcome have repressed activity and created
an excessively dull and waiting tone, other
factors have been neglected, or at most pro-
duced a slight impression on prices.
The continuance of the bituminous coal
miners' strike and the shipment of some
$.">.250,000 more gold to Europe, in the face
of a weaker exchange market, have been
no less Ineffective than the settlement of
the railroad rate war in the west and the
outbreak of a similar disturbance in the
south. The holiday on Memorial day was
apparently welcomed by the stre t as a
re-pite from an unprofitable stale of affairs.
Europe has limited its participation to
Very limited purchases and the public is
absolutely out of the market. This atti-
tude, however, simply reflects the indispo-
sition of the larger operators to take an
active part in the market while there is
such uncertainty as to whether the addi-
tion of the sugar schedule will encourage a
rally or Its reject lion furnish occasion for
a depression. The trading consequently
consisted of an exchange of contracts be-
tween the board ixjoin brokers, the only
features being the apparent care taken by
the manipulators of sugar stock to sup-
press any decided movement in thai pivotal
security, supplemented by manifestations
of further strength in Chicago.

THE NEWS BRIEFED.
Florence, A la.—Dan Mills, a desperate
charade:1, wanted for burning a church
and shooting Deputy Sheriff Pomeroy last
•fall, was captured at Henderson, Tenn.,
and -brought lvt<ck by officers. Sheriff Hinds
had a standing reward of $100 for his cap-
ture. Mills is in his teems, but an old
offender.
Yieks-burg, Miss.—Grasshoppers are at-
ta'cking the cotton on Belle Isle plantation,
near this city, and have destroyed nearly
a hundred acres since yesterday. They are
very numerous bo-th on this and adjacent
plantations, but have not ydt begun their
ravages except on Belle Isle. The planta-
tion is owned by Captain C. O. Willis of
this city, who confirms the manager's re-
port of damage.
>Ohai tanooga. Tenn.—«W. L. S'teakley, who
•brutally and without apparent cause mur-
dered Dr. A. P. C»rltfl'th at the close of the
congressional convention at Cleveland last
week, and who was released on $5000 ball
pending preliminary proceedings, was on
Wednesday committed -to jail without ball.
Habeas corpus proceedings will be insti-
tute 1, but owing to the aggravated eharac-
■tor oil' the crime it is hardly probable that
they will avail, as the community sym-
pathizes with -the murdered man.
•Cln *inriati, o.— Ike Adler, a well-to-do.
young man of ttllis city, an athlete and an
amateur aeronaut, made his first ascent
on Wednesday. It was beaufti'ful. He per-
formed on Hhe trapeze during thf ascent
like a veteran. Conning down it he para-
chute opened splendidly. He floated down
like gossamer. The wind carried him over
the river and man and parachute were
•swallowed by the turbid 'water. LVJen are
dragging the river lor his body.
Beaver Falls. Pa.-Since the nesting sea-
son opened the poor service of th»» are
Jignts has been a source oif perpetual con-
tention. The parties responsible for the
ligh'ts -lay the blame on •Kngllsh sparrows,
•which persist in 'building nests In the
globes. The carbon setters each morning
destroy the nests, but by evening the per-
sistent little pest-? .have them built again,
'it is said that at one lamp tihe birds have
built no less than 11 fteen time's.

over ito her father's house, some mill's
away. The horse, in addition to being
saddled, was also harnessed in plow ge.ir,
it being ihe purpose of Mr. Stewart, wlnrn

hibched to the plow. After proceeding on
•the journey about a mile the horse became
'frightened and unmanageable and Mrs
'Smith was thrown from the saddle, her
'foot becoming entangled in the stirrups or
traces. She was thus, dragged for some
distance, and when found, late in the day,
was in an unconscious and almost lifeless
condition. She was terribly bruised about
the head and back, the horse evidently
having kicked her at almost every jump
until ihe had kicked her loose from the
fastenings. Mrs. Smith never regained
consciousness, and died Tuesday night at
11 o'clock.
Culberson and Lanham Make a Deal in Mc-
Lennan to Keep the County From Rea-
gan—Effect on Clark Men.
Austin, Tex., June 1.—Hon. John H. Rea-
gan left this morning via the International
and Great Northern and Houston and
Texas Central for Sherman, where he
makes his opening speech for the governor-
whip. Before leaving he said to a News re-
porter: "Please say that the reports in
circulation that there is a probability of
my withdrawal from the gubernatorial race
are without foundation. Now that I have
entered I am in to the finish. I am already
in receipt of many letters urging upon me
the importance of remaining on the com-
mission, ami It is amusing to witness the
recent solicitude of many people for that
department of the government. The com-
mission is all right and those who are op-
posing me for governor need not be un-
necessarily a la fined about it. These reports
are circulated for the purpose of influenc-
ing the result In McLennan and other
counties holding primaries to-morrow, and
1 want It known that I have no Intention
whatever of withdrawing."
Judge Reagan is amused at Ihe situation
in Medit''ilium county, where It seems the
Culberson and Lanham men have united
on Lanham In order to win. The judge
expects under the circumstances to I ise
the county, but believes the people of other
counties will rebuke such combination*.
Culberson men down here do not approve
of the combination, because they assert
that Mr. Culberson Is not making that kind
of a campaign. Another thing is, while
the Culberson men by going to Lanham
may defeat Iteagan In McLennan, the fact
that McLennan declares for Lanham is lia-
ble to be taken a<s a tip by Clark men over
the state that Lanham should receive the
Turner hall vote.

The railroad commission is receiving in-
quiries from railroads not parties to the
McCormick Injunction a« to when new
tariffs will be promulgated. These roads
were specially exempted from the opera-
tion of commission tariffs for an indefinite
period Immediately after the commission
was restrained from enforcing the rales it
had established, and the exemption holds
good until the receipt of the supreme court
mandate in the commission cases, and fur-
ther until the expiration of the legal notice
to be given by the commission when it
publishes a rate sheet.
CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
Charge on Which John Gibson is Held
Under $500 Bond.
Weimar, Colorado Co.. Tex., May 31.—-A
complaint was made against a colored man
about 23 years of age by the name of Joiliti
Gibson of criminally assaulting a 4-year-old
daughter of Emma Ingram, colored. The
child pointed the defendant out as the
guilty party. The testimony of a physician
was to the effect that the clvlld was In-
jured, but that Gibson did not accomplish
hois purpose*.
John Glibwon denied the charge. He aays
he is from Prescott, Ark.; been away
from there about a year; has been living
first one place then another; came from
Houston here; been in Weimar for live or
six weeks: left here Tuesday to work on
an extra gang at Glidd n. After hearing
the evidence the courl placed him under a
$500 bond, which 'lie failed to give and in
default of which 'he was taken to the county
jail by Constable Townsend to await the
action of the grand jury.
MISSING CHILDREN.
Foul Play Believed to He the Fate of the
Merideths.
Brenham, Tex., June 1. Hettic and Rob-
ert Merldelh, the two little negro children
who disappeared from home Wednesday,
have not yet been found. Their mother Is
almost crazy with grief and anxiety. She
and a number of relatives and friends have
without success searched and Inquired for
the children at every place where there
was any probability they could have wan-
dered. Two theories are now advanced for
their disappearance -foul play or some fata!
accident. The girl Is 7 years old and If
simply lost could tell her name and where
she lived, so there would be no trouble
about her reaching home again or being
found by some of the searching party.
WAS NOT KIDNAPED,
Stephenvllle, Erath Co., Tex., June l.-
The story of the little girl, Annie Favors,
as reported in The News to-day, turned
out to be incorrect ns regards her being
kidnaped. The straight of it is about as
follows: Her parents lived near Paris. Her
mother died there and she was sent to live
with a relative in the northern part of the
county. The child a few days ago prevailed
on an immigrant to let her come to town
in his wagon. It was while roaming the
streets here alone that Deputy Sheriff
Freeman interviewed her and she told th *
story published in to-day's News. Her rela-
tives from the country came in search of
her yesterday and took her home wit ii
them. The sheriff at Paris wired Sheriff
Shands that the little girl's father was now
working somewhere near Dallas.
