Of Uoform college. Providence , K. I. No such
school was ovur In existence as a chartered
medical college. Ilowuvnr , this applicant
furnished stilllciont ovidciu'O to entitle him
to register as a licentiate , which Is logistrn-
tlon under the old law of 1081 and IbSIi , by
virtue of having practiced ton years previous
to 1881. inst two years In this state.
Dr. Peter Von L.nckum of Omaha appeared
before the Ponrd and made a reapplication.
Ho was rejected lust wcok on the grounds
that the college from which ho graduated was
not an institution In good standing. Ho will
bo granted a nuw hearing at a future date.
Dr. Q. W. Williamson of Omaha , formerly
with Iletts & Bolts , wrote and telegraphed
from Denver to the board , withdrawing his
application , and ordered his credentials sent
to Denver.
Dr. S. Canter , an itinerant eye doctor , who
recently made his headquarter * at Crete , ap
peared before the board and withdrew his
application , stating that ho was going to Cal
ifornia , whore ho said he "could practice
without IntnrforoncM. "
Dr. J. .1. Solomon of Omaha , Who was re
jected last week on the grounds that his
diploma was not from a modfcal college , ap
peared before the board , made n reapplica
tion and asked for a rehearing. The inquest
was cratitid. Time will bo given the doctor
to got testimony from Moxico.
Tbo work of the board is now slow ana
tedious and consists in sifting cases in which
the credentials are mixed or considered. In
many cases applicants appealed before the
board and gave evidence ns to length of tltno
of practice , not being graduates.
Certificates were refused the following :
Hosa Ployto , Grand Island , mldwlfo only ;
Ilardm Ii. Redmond , Henderson , Illegal reg
istration ; Hobert A. Hnwthoino , Lawrence ,
illegal registration ; John W. McConnnhn ,
Elgtit Milo Grove , Otoo county , Illegal rog-

The board adjourned to moot Thursday ,
November 5 , at 3 p. in. It Is believed that by
that tltno a report can bo made in the Omaha
contest cases.

NEW Vonit , Oct. 23.-U. O. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Uevlew ofTradosays | : General busi
ness Is remarkably uctivo and Increasing In
volume at tbo west , Improving at the south
and distinctly loss dull than It was o week
ago at eastern cities. Collections are Im
proving In nearly all directions , as the 111)- )
oral movement of crops enables the fanners
to settle their account * audio make pur
chases for the coming season. The money
markets hero are not stringent , at nearly nil
Important points being quiet and easy ,
though with a noticeable Improvement in the
demand. These signs plainly promlso a
strong trade , fall and winter , unless disturb
ances which cannot now bo foreseen should
Interrupt.
The reports from other cities are on the
whole mote favorablo. At Boston trie im
provement in trade is slow. At Philadel
phia groceries are active with a decline In
sugar. At Cincinnati retail tradnlsbtisk
and clothing active. At Cleveland business
is good and the tone confident , though iron
Is Inactive. At Detroit trade and numufnc-
lurers are fully up lo last year's mark. At
Chicago Increase appears of a third in re-
ceipls of hides , dressed beef , Hour and com ,
Ihough new corn moves slowly , and receipts
of rye are tbrro limes last year's , but some
decrease appears in oats , burloy.cured moats ,
lard , cheese , butler and wool. The dry goods
trade Is much laigor than a year ago , the
rocoipls of cattle larger by 15,000 head for
the week ; the shoo and clothing trade largo.
and business gradually Increasing In all
linos. At Minneapolis the lumber trade Is
very good , prices rising and shipments for
the WCOK 'J,000,000 foot more than lust year ;
the Hour mills again beat the record with
100,000 barrels , and general trndo Is good
Ihero and at St. Paul. At Omaha and Kan
sas City business Is satlsfaclorv , grain and
cattle iccolpts being above the average -
ago and trade in agricultural imple
ments active. At St. Louii tr.ido
shows encouraging strength , grain coming
In faster , and at Memplm business Is very
fair. At Now Orleans a better fooling is
scon with largo receipts of cotton and fair of
rice and sugar , and monov In actlvo demand.
At Savannah trade holds well , cotton re
ceipts reaching ! 2,000 : ! bales In ono day , and
at JncHsoiivlllo trade Is steady with bright
prospects.
Wheat has fallen -IJC cents with receipts nt
the west of 500,000 bushels in four days 'and
exports of l,2."il,000 ) bushels. Corn is scarce
and \\yt \ \ cents higher for spot and oats 1
cents higher.
Cotton receipts oven surpass those ol the
same week last year by . > ! 1,000 bales , and the
price fails a sixteenth , with sales of 01 1,000 ,
bales hero. . ,
Coffee Is one-eighth of-a cent lower ; oil 1
cent lower ; lard , one-eighth of a cent lower ,
and hops have lallen 30 cents per 100 pounds ,
with no change in pork.
Sujrur , both raw and granulated , is some
what lower with quite an active market. In
general the speculative movement appears to
tend loward lower prices for products , the
supplies being unusually large.
The Iron industry looks strong. Bar ,
plato and structural mills are fairly em
ployed , but prices are low.
The boot and shoo manufacture shows a
sign of moro active demand and the ship
ments nro close to last year's.
The wool manufacture shows moro demand
for dross goods and stocks of these nro
relatively low , while for men's spring goods
the orders of clothiers are far behind.
Tlio merchandise exports for the past two
weeks have exceeded those of the correspond
ing weeks last year , while imports fnli fur
below those of a year ago. so that the balance
of trade in products strongly favors con
tinued Imports of gold.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven davs

"If the now method of guu making to bo

"Instead of having to wait eight years for a

process , wo will bo able to deliver them In
thrco months. Thu process was devised by
Dr. Gntllntr , the inventor of the Galling gun.
In Dr. Gntllng's ' method the entire gun Is

way cnu be flreil many moro times without
becoming soft on the Inslilo than
can bo done with guns inado In
the present way. The process has
boon repeatedly tested on an experimental
ae.ilo and always wltb good rosults. The
great ICrupp guu works at Essen employ
U100 ! man , and ttioro is no reason why our
works should not surpass them , because wo
have every advantage over thorn. The
world's armies mutt either buy our guns be
cause they are the best or else use our pro
