lal for a story of the modern erotic school was
ttionrlhcd In a casn in which Iho attorney

hood days a resident of Lincoln nnd four
years ago oho was married in this city to a
young man named P. U. McUlelltui.
Previous to her marriage she had

Mr. und Mrs. McClolltin .vent lo housekeep

fnr as anybody know , lived happily together.
Attur llvu months of wedded llfo Mrs.
Mcdi'llnn disappeared and all efforts to Und

she left nor tiomu in this city sno went lo
Kansas Clly , where she assumed the name
ot Lllho McClaln , nnd worked In a number
of families us a domestic. Aflor she had
lived In Kansas City about a year she mot

DUN'S ' REVIEW OF HIE WEEK
Great Activity Pisplayed in Trade for the
First Week in October.
WESTERN BUSINESS EXCEEDINGLY GOOD

of U'nll street Itctnrni
from the Clearing llouie.
NBW YO K. Oct. 7. It G. Dun ft Co. , in
tholr Weekly Hctluw of Trade , says : The
first week of October shows more activity
on the near npproarh of the presidential
election. Business Is distinctly bettor at Iho
south on account of the improvement in the
prlco ol cotton , moro active at the west with
Improved crop prospects and only slightly
retarded al tbo cast. As expected , the ro-
oction from the extreme low prlco of cotton
helps business at the south. In poncrnl ,
speculation has disturbed legitimate trade
much loss during the past quarter than U
usual at this season , although the transac
tions tn cotton have bcon exceedingly heavy.
Trade at Boston Is somewhat narrower as
tbo election approaches. Cotton goods are
decidedly firm and wool steady In prlcewlth
holders confident.
At Philadelphia the trade in tobacco 1s
good and steady In chemicals.
Business Is brighter at Baltimore.
At I'ittsburx manufactured iron Is quite
active and In largo demand at well supported
prices , whllo business tn glass Is fair , but a
strika ot coal mlnew embarrasses the Monon-
cahcla trade.
At Cincinnati trade in groceries is good ,
while other trade Is active and money grow
ing somewhat stiff.
Al Indianapolis there Is a boom in manu
facturing , and railroads find It exceedingly
dlfilcult to handle all the lonnago offered.
Al Detroit manufacturing is decidedly
active.
Chicago reports n largo trade In merchan
dise nnd good collections , with bank clear
ings 14 per cent larger than a year ago , and
u decided Increase In real estate and lumber
transactions. Receipts of cattle , bogs and
sheep nro slightly larger than a year ago ,
but receipts of Hour , barley , cheese , blues
nnd dressed hoof are double last year's , a decrease -
crease being noted only In ribs , lard , wool
and rlcn.
Al Su Paul trade Is materially greater
and al Minneapolis very good and Iho output
of Uour'JOU.OOO barrels ugalnst 194,000 last
year.
Business at St. Louis is raoro aollvo Iban
usual and collections prompl.
Al Kansas Cltv trade U steady ; cattle re
ceipts heavy and collections fairly satisfac
tory.
HUHIIO | ( looit lit Ouiiilm ,
At Omaha business is good and at Denver
business Is Improving.
Nearly all southern elites roporl butter
trade , though Little HOCK crop prospects
are not encouraging.
Business at Louisville Is Improving , with
largo sales ot tobacco.
At Nashville traoo is fair aud at Memphis
trade is Improving , and a decided Improve
ment IK notnd al Now Orleans , with bettor
prices for cotton and very good collections.
The Iron industry Is doing well. Notwith
standing the resumption of woric bv many
establishment * which were idle a lout ; time
on account of strikes , the consumption of
pig Iron apparently exceeds the nroduction ,
and the demand gives a decidedly stiffer tone
to ihe market , Tbo iron trade is still dis
appointing , and rails very dull , but the de
mand for structural Iron keeps Ihe works
busy ana plates are surprisingly active.
Perhaps ihe textile industries were never
more prosperous than they are now , for
while prices arc remaniably low , tbo demand
for goods is large and urgent , and the works
are crowded with orders.
Rubber goods works nro busy.
It is not a satisfactory symptom that the
speculation in cotton is enormous , sales at
tbis city amounting to 1,020,000 bales last
week , with an advance of one-half ot 1 cent
in once , yet exports of cotton are not largo ,
and of all domestic produsts tbo value ex
ported last week was only f5,4S3,54'J , against
$ 'J,7US,9s9 for the same week last year. Con-
biderlnn tbo great increase in imports ol
merchandise , the state of foreign trade is
hardly encouraging.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days
numbered , as compared with Iho totals ol
20S last week. For the corresponding we < V
of last year tbo figures were -TO.

If tbe market has lacked spontanloty , il ha

31. . away. Some attention ts paid to the ttrmc
1.rl tendency of money , hut ll Is remarked the
3f no laudable evidence is forthcoming of an
3ft squeeze In rates which should affect price :
r- On tbe other bond the lear of gold exporu
rr - which has weighed so heavily upon speculi
rn - live activity , is now practically out of tb
nr - way and the question Is openly dUcusso
rP - whether in an Incoiuparatlvely short llm
Pn , tbo return of the flow will not sel In froi

IB corn crop Is a much larger uggregat

gent \vttnc s nnd tumutelv described iho
finding ol the body , Its position nnd the sur
roundings , ilo was positive that the time of
finding iho body was not far from 5:1)0 : ) In the

cated that certainly not moro than two per
sons hnd entered the place where the body
was found and they must have walked In
single file.
Lr. ) J. E. Summon bnd made a ppst mortem
