THAW STILL INSANE.
.
Held Dangerous to Public Peace and '
Safety.
Harry K. Thaw's latest attempv to
gain his liberty met with defeat Thurs-
day when Supreme Court Justice Isaac
N. Mills ) ) dismissed the writ of habeas
corpus and declared that the release
' of the petitioner "
would be "danger
,
ous to public peace and safety. '
The signing of an order sending
Thaw back to Matteawan , a formality ,
took place Friday morning in Justice
. Mills' chambers at Mt. Vernon , N. Y. ' '
There is no crumb of comfort for
Thaw in the 7,000-word opinion hand-
ed down by Justice Mills. All the con-
tentions of his old adversary , District
Attorney ' Jerome , are supported , and it
is declared that Thaw is still insane ,
still suffering from persistent delu-
sions find still as much a paranoiac as
on the day he shot Stanford White.
The order for Thaw's recommitment
will be presented to Justice Mills : and
Thaw's attorney will then have a
chance to oppose it or strive for a
modification. .
Thaw received the news with an
outward calmness which appeared ,
however , more forced than real.
The members , of his family and his
attorney seemd stunned by the thor-
oughness of their defeat. Thaw de : "
clined to give out any extended state-
ment , contenting himself with the " as-
sertion that he was not disheartened
and would at once continue his fight
for liberty. > -

TABLE HOCK : BOY KILLED.

Tlu ' otvim' from His Horse and Fatallj
Injured.
James Hruska , the IC-year-old son'
of the late James Hruska , met with
an accident near Table Rock which
resulted in his dfeath. He had been
assisting in threshing and started for
home on horseback , riding in consid-
erable haste to get up his cows before
dark. His horse stepped into a go-
pher hole , stumbled and fell , whether
on him or not can hardly be deter-
mined , as no one witnessed the acci-
dent. He was found a little later by
the threshing crew , but was never able
to explain how the accident happened.
$70,000 FILING FEE.
Missouri Pacific Pays Big Sum Into
Nebraska Treasury.
The Missouri Pacific Railway com-
pany Monday paid to Secretary of
State Junkin $70,000 as a fee for filing
its new articles of incorporation.
Thirty-one thousand dollars of this
was paid under protest on the ground
that the increase in the capital stock
ofothe company did not justify the de-
n/and for the $70,000 when a fee had
been formerly collected under the old '
corporation. The fee is the largest
ever received by the state of Nebras-
ka from any one company.
Runaway Accident.
Dr. Shellhorn , of Peru , had a nar-
row escape in a runaway accident last
Saturday and as it was he was severe-
ly hurt , his daughter badly bruised

back straps broke and let the tongue
down. The buggy ran down on the '
horses , causing them to run away ,
completely wrecking the buggy and
throwing the occupants into the street ,
severely bruising the doctor and
breaking his nose.

River roller mills at Grand Island ,
had his hand severely crushed. While
slipping off a belt the hand was
caught and thrown into a cogwheel
and all of the fingers excepting the
first [ were torn off and most of the
palm of the hand was crushed. Am-
putation [ of most of the hand was nec-
essary.
Session Laws Heady.
Another batch of session laws was
received by the secretary of state , '
which with those already received , „
will be enough to supply the members $
of the legislature and the various " "
counties of the state. Another batch t
will be sent in from York and these c

The sustained improvement in busi

gate of payments through the banks ,
smaller trading defaults , and widen
ing demands upon productive . tapac-

Tariff revision as an accomplished
fact removes some uncertainties and
the way is made easier to decide upon
new projects. Iron and steel condi
tions have entered upon & most en 1

that industry imparts strength to : ,
many other industrial branches.
Factory outputs begin to approach
the best previous reccrds. The aggre- -

products assures increasing employ

Review of Trade.

NEW YORK. 1
With , the advent of August the net
tariff has become an accomplishet
fact , the leading crops are assuming
more tangible form with some temper
ing of earlier exuberant estimates :
of yield ; high premiums on old sup
plies of farm products are disappear
ing and the usual fall buyers' excur
sions are bringing purchasers to lead
ing markets. There is also noted this
\
year what was aibsent for two preced
ing years-a growing scarcity of la
bor.

On the other hand , there are som
features of the trade and the indl ! r 1 I
trial situation not as yet clearly , (1e '
fined. High raw material cost mak
for caution in placing orders in sr E
lines of cotton goods and the ad . ance
in the prices of some lines of finished
iron and steel is claimed to have dis
couraged some new business.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with Aug
5 were 184 , against 223 last week ;
