At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the National Cordage Com pany at New York the report of the operations for the year ending Oct- 31 last, showed a profit of $1,406,000, of which 51,000,000 was paid in dividends. The financial director of the company stated that it was difficult to give at present an estimate for the quarter end ing Jan. 31, yet he felt safe in stating that the profits will be sutlicicnt to pay the entire annual dividend of 5400.000 on preferred stock and a quarterly divi dend of 5250,000 ou common and leave a large surplus. It is undeniable that there exists a considerable feeling-of disappointment, ay Dun & Co. in their weekly report. More- business, but at lower prices, seems to be the rule. That the volume of trade is gradually increasing, even in branches which have boen dull, there i seems to be no doubt. But in an un usual number of cases increased sales appear to be the result of some yielding In prices, so that tne average decline in prices of all commodities during the past week has.bcen more than half of 1 per cent. The money markets throughout the country are usually well supplied, but in, part because the demand is moder ate. Collections arc generally improv ing or decidedly good. The ccurse ot foreign trade makes the absence of gold imports somewhat noteworthy, as exports from New York for four weeks of January have been Sll.iy3.ooo, or A2.-9 per cent, larper than for the same weeks last year, while iu imports there had been a slight decrease, winch would point to an excess of exports over im ports, amonnting to about tltl.OOO.OOO for the. month, aaiust SJO,000.000 last January. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the week number 297. as compared with totals of 328 for the week previous, . For the cor responding week of last year the figures were 320. John Hoey, ex-President of the Ad ams Express Company, has formed a new express campany.

Mr. Somborn received only a flesh wound. Jacob has long been a pensioner of his wealthy cousin, and frequently came to the office to get money, and a refusal by Mr. Spmborh for a sMaii amount was the cause-of the tragedy. The Washington Manufacturing Com pany of Gloucester City, N. J., has failed for the second time in five years. Its liabilities are said to exceed 5750, 000. The concern has been managed by the creditors' since tho failure five years ago, and it Is said the present embarrassment-is due .to complication with the affairs of E. H. Coatcs & Co., the cotton' dealers. IN THE WEST. A steamer ' from' Alaska which ar rived at Port Townsend, Wash.,, reports that it is feared that ten miners have perished from hunger or cold. Last April Morris Orton and S. O. Wheelock of Juneau, accompanied by eight other miners, left Juneau on the schooner Charlie for Lituya Bay, taking eight months' provisions. The party was to return in November. Nothing being heard from them great uneasiness is felt, for they were in the frozen regions where It is impossible to get food or help. The prople appealed to Capt. Maynard of the United States warship Pinta at Sitka, to go to the relief of the missing men. Maynard declined on ac count of the great risk to the ship. A mass meeting was keld at Juneau, the Governor appealed to, and a relief ex pedition was organized. It was. sent out in sailing vessels with supplies in search of the lost miners, but there is little hope of rescuing them. Henry de Greyer, a well known contractor of San Francisco, and a ' friend were driving in Golden Gate Park at an unlawful speed. Officer Harper ordered him to stop and not doing so the officer lassoed the -horse. The offi cer asserts that De Greyer tried to draw a weapon and he in self-defense . drew his own revolver and fired twice, one bullet going through De Greycr's shoul der, entering his lungs. On the other hand, it is said De Greyer tried to drive on after the horse was- lassoed, paying no attention to another order to halt, and that the officer then deliberately shot him. De Greyer is seriously wounded. Officer 'Harper has been placed under arrest.. . . The United States Supreme Court, in ad elaborate -opinion by Chief-Justice Fuller,-Jield that James E.

Two rural maidens, Annie West and Mattie Holbrook, loved the clerk of the villago store. Mr. Smith, the clerk, favored the fair Annie. Miss Holbrook, the rejected girl, resolved to win his love by fair or foul means. A note' was senfrtroAnnie to come at dark to )he village church, near town, signed by Smith. She went and has since been missing Yesterday morning two young men heard cries issning'from an old de serted mill, and on investigation found the missing girl. She claims to have been imprisoned by two men in the cm- I ploy of Miss Holbrook. A Birmingham, Ala., jury, by its ver dict, settled the value of kisses in that State. A Wm. Horton was indicted for assault and battery on Miss bailie Jones. The testimony of the ybung woman was that Horton had ljfid vio-. lent bands on her and kissed her against her will. Horton testified that the kiss was with Miss Sallies free will and consent, and that he had kissed her 150 times before. Tho jury rendered a ver dict of guilty and assessed a fine of 5150 51 each. "A horrible accident occurred.at the Sloss furnace-at Birmingham, Ala,, two men being killed outright, and six in jured.

RAILROADS TO PAY THE STATE Tbe Value of All M-booI Luiuls Appropri ated for Rlght-or-vray. Hv ft recent deeislon of the Sfecretarv bf the Interior it appears that the raiU road companies which have entered the State and have run across school lands will be compelled to pay in cash to the State the value of all lands thus appro priated for right-of-way. It has been supposed all along that the railroads Would not have to pay furtluse lands, and that the State" .wttultl t' indemni fied for the loss by being given the right to select other government lands. At the minimum price of 510 per aero the railroads will havo to pay the btate some 550,000. The railroads may re-fu.-e to, pay this sum. and iu that case some big cases may result. Blood on the Moon. The Independent paper at Mitchell has started au Inquiry to ascertain whether tho National Union Company, which has recently established stores all over the State, aud iu which War dall, Cruse, and LoWe, prominent Alli ance workers, are ih teres ted, is au Alli ance institution or a private enterprise. The paper says the Alliance has suffered enough odium from such chemes as the Fidelity, hail insurance, anl the like. This same paper and a branch of it re cently started in Alexandria have also opened up on Boss Loucks, with a view to disputing his right to tho supreme dictatorship of the third party. Loucks Is booming Polk and Iowa's own Weaver for the presidential ticket, and the other fellows don't like it. The main cause of the trouble, how ever, dates back to the Independent congressional convention Inst fall, when J. M. Pease, one of the ci'itors in ques tion, was sat down on for the nomina tion at Louck's behest after he had it surely in his grasp. There is prospect of a right merry war in third party circles. To Have lain. A very enthusiastic mass meeticg of committees from tho live Black Hills counties of Meade. Lawrence, Butte, Fallriver and Bennington, was held at Piedmont. The object was to negotiate with the representative of the Mel bourne Artificial. Rain Company for the purpose of securing rain for the five mentioned countiqs for the ensuing year. The company offers three test rains, to be made between April 15 and May 25 next, for $000, and, if successful, the right to the counties fur 52,500 per county. These terms were accepted and committees appointed to make further arrangements. Another Coal Excitement. Cari. Johnson, at Yankton, iu the name of himself aud associates, lias made mineral filings upou four entire sections of land, two iu Yankton County and two in Turner County. He claims to be a coal-mining expert, and says that there is an abundance of coal in this sec tion if it can only be brought to the sur face. This land has been filed upon before, but the filings were recently canceled. The local officers declined to receive tilings without further inves tigation of titles. This will revive the excitement of a year ago about coal. An Economical Plan. Gov. Mellette has returned to Pierre from Chicago. He is preparing a circular to send members of the Leg islature asking them if they will como to an extra session without expense to the State. If two-thirds agree to come under such conditions the extia session will be called. It seems to be the gen eral opinion among' State officials that the chances for an extra session are un favorable. . for the liemoeratlc Convention. Otto Peemille:', of Yarkton, Chair man of the Democratic State Central Committee, has called a meeting of that 'committee to occur iu Huron Wednes day. February 24, for the purpose of calling a State Convention to elect del egates to the National Convent lonHo be held in Chicago. The State Convention will probably De hetJ in Yankton. Cashier Lincoln Caught. Sheriff Wilson has returned from Virginia City, Mont., where he captured Charles G. Lincoln, the runaway and supposed defaulting cashier of the Hill City Bank. Lincoln's friends are stay ing by him. claiming that personal and domestic considerations and. not defal cation caused his flight. The facts of the case will be investigated. Rich Shipment of Bullion. The Deadwood and Delaware smelter a lew days since shipped to Omaha a .carload of bullion weighing fifteen tons, averaging 5600 a ton, the result of a five, days run.

To IhVevlicate Ihe Charges et Bribery, V? tf Omaha f adffe. JrnOE C; H: Scott at 0aha delivered h s charge' io the grand jury one" tit the most femarkabte Akefatfces" ever pro Aftef ftipfatn-- pferoga- the ne cessity for inquiring "diligently fnto' tho" affairs or tne city and county govern ment. He explained the law that gives this power and warned the jurors to be ware Of fixers concerning things well known to the public. He" said a public Official who receives a bribe Of any" So Ih any way,- shape' Or" form, "is a public criminal uhde'r the Statute' Of ikhi State' as a receiver ot hfib'es, arid the pribi'c peace and good order Is artd will be in" dafcs(cf frbm him" so' long as he fs fer mittcd a res?de.tfce otftside of a peniten tiary;; nof wilf it change the fact that tie may now be out of office, uavitfg serves his term. rSuch criminals as these are defiantly ftilMng ffnrstreets sneeringly, brazenly and insultingly bidding defiance to the law that pun ishes bribery by asking, 'What are you going to do about it?' If you do your duty such criminals will have no occa sion or excuife for asking that quostion hereafter. A little well directed effort on your part in the direction here indi cated would open up a field into which a stone could not be thrown without hitting a criminal. You should see to it that the stone is thrown and thrown hard. There comes tip a cry from the people to you, a command that there must be a forward march all along the line of. yotlf Hllty.

Vaderm'ldetf the I Walls. Brick walls will not stand id the air This fact was completely established in Omaha. An excavation had been made for a three-story brick building. Ad joining the hole was a one-story build ing occupied by Gring& Hartley, under takers. The workmen" were arranging to take down the wails Of tho one-story building, and in doing so dug the earth from beneath a large portion of it and neglected to brace it. The natural re sult was a collapse of the building. Six men who were doing the excavating 'es caped unhurt but Undertaker Gring was caught in the wreck and very badly bruised. The building was a complete wreck, and the undertaker's stock of coffins is ready for. a fire store sale. Prisoners Escape. Sheriff Kyd and his deputies were startled when they went to feed the prlsouers confined in the county jail at Beatrice to discover that Richard Daw son, recently bound over for burglary, was missing. Dawson's absence was puzzling because of the fact that he ap peared at breakfast time as usual. An examination of the jail failed to reveal auy place of concealment or place of escape, and the conclusion was reached that Dawson's escape was made in tho forenoon when the jail was being cleaned, possibly by hiding behind a door until a favorable opportunity was afforded for escape without being ob served.
