Your crpogltlon shows bcttr thnn
liny words of mine can tell the details
of your wealth of resource and power
of production. You have done wisely
In exhibiting these to your own people

BLEW UP HIS HOME.
Attempted Aetatiination of Gov. Smith Of
The Soldiert' Horn
A diabolical attempt was made upon
Hie life of Gov. Andrew J. Smith of
the Nntlonal Soldiers' home nt Leav
enworth, Kan., and his wife and
daughter. Dynamite was employed In
the outrage and the explosion which
all but demolished the governor's
beautiful residence, aroused the resi
dent of the city and houses trembled
as If undergoing an earthquake shock.
Mrs. Smith had a miraculous escape
from death, the base of the explosion
being directly beneath her bed cham
ber. Besides being cut and bruised hy
btoken glass and pieces of flying bric
ahrac and furniture, she wa com
pletely prostrated by the frightful
shock and Is now In a precarious con
dition. Gov. Smith and their daugh
ter, Miss Daisy occupied rooms on the
second floor and were far enough re
moved from the explosion to escape
the serious consequences suffered by
Mrs. Smith.
Gov. Smith attributes the attempt on
his life and that of his family as a
direct result of the persecution that he
claims haa been waged against him
during the past five or six years. Jos
eph W, Oliver, a dishonorably dis
charged veteran, haa been arrested by
the police. Evidence against him is
strong. He had Just come tn his room
after being out all night. Hla clothes
were debraggled and he said he was
sorry the explosion had not killed the
governor, aa he deserved such a fate.
Oliver bears a rough reputation.

trade reports: The gain In business
continues, not without fluctuations and
at the bst moderate, but yet distinct.
It I still In quantities rather than
prices, although In some branches an
advance In prices appears, hut on the
whole the number of hands employed,
the volume of new orders and the
amount of work done are slowly In
creasing. Prospects of good crops of
wheat and cotton help, aa does the
growing demand from dealers whose
stocks a gradually gaining con
sumption has depleted, while In the
money and exchange market large
buying of American securities has also
an Influence.
Wheat looks well, and the best trade
authority now estimates the yield st
5ln.O0O.0O0 bushels, with many state and
railroad returns to support it. The
price recovered lHo after last week's
fall of over 4 cents, because . visible

bushels, against 16.115,421 last year,

the demand for bleached goods is

active. Brown goods are dull, though
quotations are unchanged. Some large
woolen mills are preparing to Increase
output, and have bought heavily, sales
of foreign wool at Boston alone hav
ing reached 6,310,000 pounds out of
8.368.000 sold of all kinds at the three
chief markets. Carpet mills at Phila
delphia, which have Just resumed after

all are now running nearly full time.
A somewhat better reorder demand
for woolens Is reported, especially In
medium and high-priced gisids and
fancy worsteds, without change In
prices.
