The Duluth (Minn.) Imperial Mill Com-
~ pany is this week making a second annual
apportionment of profits to employes. A
system of profit-sharing was inaugurated
' sometime ago. The system was started by
the taking out of life-insurance policies by
the company on each employe of from
$1,000 to $2,500, and in this way $3,000 was
distributed. This week about $5,000 will be
distributed, and this goes to about 150
men.

The nailers atthe Labelle factory, Wheel-

MURDER IN A LONELY ROAD.
Jonathan Hochstetter, an Aged Man,
Shot as He Was Going Toward His
Home Near Trent in Somerset Co., Pa.
SomerserT, Pa., April 2—Jonathan Hoch-
Btetter, 60 years of age, was murdered near
nesday afternoon, and thus was carried out
the threats of ‘‘moonshiners,”’ who swore to
have his life for his testimony against four
-of their companions at the recent session
of the United States District Court at Scran-
ton.
CAUSE OF THE CRIME.
For along time a gang of illict distillers
had been working in Somerset and Fay ette
1 counties: In" January the" United States
officers made a raid on the gang, and after
a desperate chase and fight caught three of
the gang. At that time the “moonsh ners”
accused Hochstetter of aiding the officérs by
giving'them pointers,and when he appeared
in court against those captured they were,
positive that the old man was in league
with the officers. ‘The leader of the gang
had escaped capture and he and some of his
band had been heard to say: ‘‘We'llfix old
Hochstetter before he is many weeks older,”
The sequel of their threats is to be found in
the tragedy. :
e murder was the result of a feud of
years’ standing. = He was killed by a party
Spmpdsed of William C. Miller, his son,
obert C. Miller, and William Pritts. 1tis
charged that at least a dozen perssns laid
the plot for his death, and the story of an
oath-bound brotherhood “of moonshiners is
coming to light. Hochstetter was a member
of it. He died, not for treason to it, but be-
cause he incurred the-enmity of its leaders.
It is charged that the majority of the resi~
dents of the district where Hochstetter was
killed are Miller sympath zers, and that the
balance are afraid to make a stand for law
.and order. There is every. indication that
ie balance of the gang. :
Robert C. Miller is in jail charged with
eing one of the murderers. He has made
8.committed, and is perhaps as nearly
dhe true version of the crime as will ever be
obtained.

fcllowed by Deeming, the murderer. He
said that the crime discloses a calculating
wickedness and cool, heartless savagery that
is almost beyond belief.
The work of murder was that of an ex-
pert. Orly in one case was the stroke that
caused death more than sufficient “for that
purpose. Each stroke severed a vital'organ.
and no aore might have been accomplished
by a surgeon or butcher wha knew his busi-"
ness well. The children;
nourished condition and well-order
showed the good and careful tre
matter had partaken of the
“The Mother,
The mother was first called from the room
in which she was with the children into the
‘room where themurderer awaited her. This
s shown from the position of the wound
that killed her and the fact that one of her
shoes was off ad the other partly unlaced.
1t further appears that as she stooped to un-
her shoe she was attacked from behind
and died almost without a struggle.
Then the children were called” one by one

herd4humbs fied behind her back witha
iden bandage two inches wide. A similar
bandage was wound twice around her head
80 gs to cover her mouth snd keep her from
fing. A pillow case was then placed over
her head and the murder strangled her.
The hands of the second girl were also tied.
‘behind her back; but in the case of the other
.children this precaution was not thought
necessary.
° One other significant and sinister fact is
that, although the throats of four out of the
five victims were cut, on none of the bodies |
“or clothing was there a trace of blood, which
leaves a dreadful inference regarding the
‘deliberate and calm carefulness with which
the slaughter was committed. :

CONDITION OF BUSINESS,
Greater Activity Shown in Lines of D:-
mastic Trade.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekl : Revie » of Trade
says: The business outlook is distinctly
improving. The e has come a distinct in-
crease in the marketing of manufac‘ured
products and greater activity in‘many lines
of domestic trade. The manufactures are
doing well. The distribution of cotton
manufacture has been remarkably larger
and the results of trade generally satisfac-
tory. The woolen manufacture also shows
distinct improvement in some branches.
The boot and shoe business is also increas-
ingly active, shipments now exceeding last
year's and orders being large and urgent.
. Reports from other cities are generally
improving. The depression in iron contin-
ues, though it is thought bottom prices have
been reached, and bar: mills have full or
ders. At Cleveland trade is good. At Cin-
cinnati the clothing trade is better than a
year ago, the harness strike continues. and
uthern merchants are asking extensions
because cotton is low. At Chicago a large
increase is seen in merchandise sales, and -
