New York, Jan. 7. R. G. Dan A Co.' s Weekly Review of Trade says: Failures lor 1894 are fully reported this week, being1 13,883 in the United States and 1,586 in the Dominion of Canada. Liabilities in the United States were 8172,992,856. and in Canada, 117,616,215. Neither the de crease of over half in this country nor the increase of over forty per cent in Canada is surprising, but the statement shows that most of the decrease in the United States was In manufacturing liabilities, while the entire increase in Canada is in liabilities of trading concerns. A few states, including New York and Pennsylvania, show more failures than in 1893, and in a few Southern states the amount of liabilities is larger, but in the Central and West ern states very much smaller. In eleven of the last thirty-eight years reported liabilities nave been larger than in 1894, though for this year and 1893 the statement is confined to com mercial failures, as it was not in former years. The failures have been 12.5 to every 1,000 firms doing business; the liabilities have averaged 1132.77 to each firm in trade, and in froportion to the volume of solvent T .

The complete review of different branches' of business places in a clear light the fact that prices of com modities are at the lowest level ever known. Eight years ago in July prices averaged only 73.69 per cent of the prices for the same articles and in the same markets January 1, 1800, and this remained the lowest point ever touched until August 10, 1893, when the average fell to 72.76, but early this year prices dropped below all previous records, and have never recovered, the average decrease of 26 being only 68.73 per cent of the prices in I860. The range was very little higher at the end of the year, and about as low October 25. The fall since a year ago has been 6)4 per cent, but very unequal in dif ferent branches. In iron and steel products, 14 per cent; in wool, 13.4 per cent; in woolens and cottons, about 15 per cent. These changes contrast sharply with the decline of wages paid per hour's work, which average only 1.2 per cent less than a year ago. The year has been especially note worthy for the lowest prices of wheat and cotton on record. 'Both suffer from whplly unprecedented accumu lation of stocks, the crops being large. Outside this country wheat production has not increased enough to justify a price of 60 cents at New York, and the accumulation is largely due to false reports of yield intended to frighten buyers and raise prices. The same influence has been felt in co'fin, which is also affected by world-wide depression in business and decrease in consumption of goods. In other produce markets the year has been relatively less important HORSETHIE VES LYNCHED. Throe Men Banged and Their Bodies Riddled With Bullet. Wichita. Kan., Jan. 7. News reaches here from Kingfisher, Ok., of a wholesale hanging of thieves in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country. The settlers there have ever since the opening been the victims of ma rauding bands of horse and cattle thieves, and finding the authorities too slow in bringing the offenders to justice, several vigilance committees were organized in different parts of the country to take the law in their own hands. The vigilants a few days ago started I on the trail of one band, followed it into the Panhandle of Texas, back into the Cheyenne country, overtak ing it near Cantonment Here a bat tle followed, resulting in the wound ing of George Gaskell and Simeon Campbell, two of the vigilants, and the capture of three of the thieves. The latter were hanged without de lay. Their bodies were shot to pieces and left hanging as a warning to their kind. SI. JOE JAIL BREAKERS.

Last night Representative John Seaton of Atchi-J ion, got the opposition candidates for ipeaker together and after a long) conference it was decided that 8. S. Benedict J- B. Remington and Alex-j snder Warner should withdraw, leav-l lug J. K. Cubbison and W. B. Sutton In the field to oppose C. E. LobdelL! Several attempts were made te com bine all the opposition forces in acau-l cus, but Lobdell had secured pledges; from so many to him as their second, choice that the plan would not work,' and nothing was left but to make the) fight in the party caucus. Sutton is! expected to hold the Sixth district members in line and, if he sees h can't win, he will throw his support' to Cubbison, taking the speakership' pro tempore for himself. j The result of the speakership con-; test will have no bearing whatever on the senatorial contest What little, interest was manifested by the sena-j torial candidates a week ago soon dis appeared, and if Lobdell succeeds it will not be because of locality, but because of his tremendous energy and hard work, commencing the day after the November election. lie had secured a positive following and form) ed an organization weeks before the other candidates began operations and thus had gained a good start when the campaign opened in Topeka. m There is talk of a peace conference of Lobdell, Cubbison and Sutton and their friends to bring about a settle-' mentof the speakership in advance of. the party caucus. This proposition, is opposed by Seaton, Benedict and' other Cubbison men, and there is little' likelihood of a settlement outside of the caucus, which it is understood will be held Monday forenoon. Action on the senatorial contest in a large measure has been suspended' until the settlement of the house organization, although there is no diminution of interest Neither candidate has gained any accessions Tor a day or two, and it is admitted by politicians that not so many mem- Ders nave Deen pledged as bad been reported. The members are going into caucus cautiously some because they want to "pick the winners," and others because they feel the growth of the Ingalls sentiment and do not want to committ themselves against BLAND RED HOT. The Silver Champion Declares the Cur rency Bill la a Prand. Washington, Jan. 7. The only bus iness done by the house in the morn ing hour was concurrence in the sen ate amendments to a bill for the re lief of Limri Elliott of Kansas and a resolution to pay the funeral expenses of Colonel William T. Fitch, for twenty-one years doorkeeper in the house,' who died Christmas day. The debate on the currency bill was resumed by Mr. Boatner of Lou isiana, who expressed surprise at the opposition to the measure which had developed on the Democratic side. lie paid attribute to the abilities of Secretary Carlisle and dwelt upon the dutv of sunnnr finer him. nrhinh he said rested upon Democrats. Mr. Bland asked him several ques tions io snow mat tne administra tion had adopted a sold aolicv and finally declared that the national platform was a fraud if there was no intention to carry it out, asserting that the platform should mean some thing. J Mr. Boatner asked if Mr. Bland had - not been a supporter of President Cleveland in the last campaign, whereupon Mr. Bland res ponded that he had supported the platform and had voted for the can didate and that the party had crone down in ignominous defeat for its treachery and fraud. , Mr. Lace y of Iowa, followed in op-1 position to the bill j Bourke Cockran followed with an eloquent appeal for the bilL SATOLLI'S POWERS. An Eneyclleal Which Gives Him Almost Plenary Authority. Rome, Jan. 7. The expected ency elical from Pope Leo, addressed to the archbishops of the United States, Is now ready and will be transmitted through the usual channels in a few days. It treats principally with the authority and powers of the apostolio delegate, Mgr. Satolli, who is con firmed and strengthened in his posi tion. The letter is certain to cause a profound sensation in ecclesiastical circles in the United States. In the encyclical Pope Leo confirms the friendly disposition previously manifested toward a republican form of government demonstrating anew that the church is Tree to accept ana Bhow sympathy with popular institu tions not inherently hostile to Chris tian principles. In detail the en cyclical enlarges to the fullest extent the power and jurisdiction of the apostolic delegate, thus conlerrlng on Mgr. Satolli almost plenary authority. All matters of local and internal con troversy affecting the church in the United States shall no longer be under the jurisdiction of the courts of the propaganda, but will be heard and disposed of in the delegate's tri bunal, which becomes, in fact an American ecclesiastical court This is a further and most important recognition of home rule in the church, and will go far to do away with the jealousy of Rome and Roman influence which has hitherto prevailed in certain quarters within and with out the church. The encyclical, in language and spirit, breathes an ardent, affection for the people and institutions of the United States. Confinement Telllne; on Him. Fayette, Ma, Jan. 7. Charles H. Harlan, ex-representative of Callaway county, under indictment for murder ing Charles W. Moore of Callaway county, while on a ferryboat moored to the Callaway side of the river, op posite Jefferson City, on the 27tb of last ieoruary, was brought to the Howard county jail in this city yes terday by Sheriff Windsor and turned over to Sheriff Mitchell. Mr. Harlan is not well, and his confinement of more than ten months is telling on him, as he is 53 years old.

Instead, the closely printed pages are filled with odd, grotesque, quaint things culled from all sections of the earth not aiming especially at art ' per t ectton. but seeking rather the uncommon and fantastic. It must require a world-wide research to maintain the standard set by the Initial number ; yet the price is only the modest one of M) cts. a year. Each number contains 90 large pages, and 80 of the whimsical, droll, bizaare Illustrations." It is not too much educational food that causes mental dyspepsia. It's bow it is cooked and served. The Picture Magazine is " done to a turn." The Magazine of type must be seen and read; this needs to be seen only. Interests and pleases everybody. Is all digested ready for assimilation.
