from the bluff Into the willows. At the
sound of the shot seven cubs came run

Park Opening May 13.
The Board of Park Commissioners yes
terday announced that It hud definitely
fixed Sunday, May IS, for the formal open
ing of the popular public resort Fairmount
park. The board has secured Covalt's
Manawa band for the occasion and a con
cert appropriate to the day will be given,
from 2:80 to p. m. The band will be
composed of twenty-one pieces and It alone
will be a sufficient attraction to draw a
big crowd to the park, It Is believed.
The board will request' the street rail
way company to Increase the number of
cars on the park line during the after
noon, so that the usual inconvenience re
sulting from a lack of sufficient transporta
tion facilities to and from the park may
not detract from the attendance
Recent Improvements made by the mo
tor company at the park will now permit
of the long cars entering the park and
making the loop around the pavilion.

ports from the smaller roads of the slate
have been made nnd nearly all thus far
show an increase In gross earnings as will
ns in net earnings. The executive council
will do nothing towards making the as
sessment till the second Monday In July,
when hearings will he given representatives
of the railroads as well as citizens of the
state who may wish to appear. Employes
of the executive council office will be en
gaged till then In tabulating the figures pre
paratory to the assessment.
More Hearings on Railroad Hill.
Governor Cummins will have a further
hearing on the bill permitting railroads
between competing points to make the same
rate for a long haul that Is made for the
short haul on another road. The hearing
will be had Saturday. Governor Cummins
has signed the bill compelling a uniform
price on petroleum and Its products In all
sections of the state. The bill was designed
to assist Independent oil companies to com
pete with the Standard Oil company. The
governor has also signed the bill changing
the manner of selecting superior court
Judges. The change is a mere technical
one. This leaves the long and Short haul
bill the only one remaining to be signed
and unless It Is vetoed there Will have been
no bill passed by the last general assembly
that the governor has not signed.
Charged with Bank Robbery.
Jlmmle Donohue has been arrested by the
local detective force on the charge of blow
ing the safe of the Cltisens bank at Tetter,
la., November 18, 1903. He Is also charged
with other safe robberies.
Polk County Convention.
The Polk county convention will be held
tomorrow at 10 o'clock In the Young Men's
Christian association auditorium. Hon. Nat
Coffin has been selected for temporary
chairman. The most important contest tho
tjnunty convention will have to settle Is
that of representative. There are to be
nominated two from Polk county. John B.
Sullivan has a majority of the 'delegates
and will be one of the nominees without
the vote of the convention, as the law pro
vides. For the other position. Dr. E. B.
Dorr Is In the lead with 147 delegates,
Charles V. Lyons with 120, Kooker with 97
and four other candidates ith less than
40 delegates each. On secretary of state It
Is not necessary for the county convention
to Instruct the delegates and this method
may be followed as none of the three can
didates has a majority of the delegates.
Ice Cream Their rndolag,
Ice cream Intended for the guests at the
home of E. B. Evans of the Drake Law
school was stolen by boys. From eating
the cream the boys became very sick and
physicians were called, and the confession
that followed lead to the arrest of the boys.
May Chance Dates.
At the meeting of the Iowa Rifle associa
tion today with Adjutant General Thrift it
was found that the dates for the state
shoot, which has been decided upon for
the guard, may have to- be changed to a
laer date In August, probably to the 30th,
because of failure of the contractors on the
government rifle range to complete the work
before that time.
Attorney General Mullan has given to
General Thrift an opinion In which he holds
that twenty of the members ef the National
Guard have been legislated out of office by
the new guard law and will have to be ap
pointed by the regiment commanders. This
is In keeping with the opinion of General
Thrift, who discovered the mistake in the
law home weeks ago. The mlstage Is a tech
nical one and In making the surgeons reg
imental officers Instead of department ofll
cers, the present officers will have to be
reappointed. General Thrift today notified
all regiment commanders to make the ap
pointments at once.
Grain Dealers Dlsraes Itoates.
At the meeting of the Iowa Grain Dealers'
association In this city May 15 and IS the
discussion will be given mainly to the ques
tion of routes" for export shipment. For
the last three years the bulk of grain ship
ments from Iowa has gone to the gulf
rather than to the Atlantio seaboard be
cause the prices on the gulf have ruled
considerably from 4 to I cents higher.
Prominent grain man from other states will
be resent.

DITS REVIEW OF TRADE
Stock Market Panic, No Criterion of Btuinew
Condition!.
OUTLOOK IS GENERALLY FAVORABLE
Only Clond oa Herlson Is Possible
Interference of l.ake Strike
with Prodnctlen of Pig
Iroa.
NEW YORK, May 4 !t. (1. Dun Co s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
The vfblent decline In prices of securities
Is no criterion of business conditions. Rail
way earnings have continued to surpass
those of corresponding periods in any pre
vious year, the gain for April being 91
per cent over the same month of 1!5 and
other standards of measurement make
equally gratifying exhibits.
Liabilities of failures last month showed
a decrease of over 40 per cent In manufac
turing and 12 per cent in trading branches
of business as compared with the previous
year. The only drawbacks regarding the
future are the labor controversies and the
stringency In the money market, neither
of which may prove of more than tempor
ary duration. Manufacturing plants re
port little idle machinery and trade tn
seasonable merchandise feels the Impetus
of settled weather. Foreign commerce for
the last week shows gains of 1 1 ,1"f. fT 2 in
exports and U. 943,729 In imports, as com
pared with the same week last year. Com
modity prices sre well maintained by a
good demand and the crop outlook Is fully
as bright as usual at this date, while in
many departments an Increased acreage. Is
under cultivation.
Of greatest Importance to the iron and
steel Industry of all events of the past
week was the strike of 'longshoremen on '
the lake water front. If this struggle la
not soon settled It will become Impossible
to maintain pig Iron production at the
highest rate on record. Otherwise the
strikes on May 1 Were not of sufficient
magnitude to affect the progress of the
steel business. Textile mills maintain ac
tivity, although new business comes for
ward slowly. Tanners evince a disposition
to operate more conservatively, which has
checked the upward tendency of hides.
Leather has developed some Irregularity,
hemlock soles holding firm,. while union and
oak barks are neglected.
Manufacturers of footwear occupy a
moat Independent position because of the
liberal contracts now unfilled.
Failures this week In the United States
are 2U against 115 last week and 212 the
corresponding week iBSt year. Failures in
Canada number 21 against 20 last week. 18
the preceding week and 22 laat year.

BRADKTRRtCTS BEVIKW or THAU.'
Retail Trade nnd Rntldlng Operations
Are Active.
NEW YORK. May 4.-Bradstret's to
niorrow will say;
Reports of active retail and Jobbing trade,
of immense, In fact unprecedented buildlt T
operations and teally excellent crops, lu.
nlsh a sharp contrast to the weakness of
the country's central market for securities.
This latter reflects liquidation due to past
excesses by a comparatively small number
of operators, not apparently, as In otn
past years, generally shared In by the ruh
11c at large. Continued favorable weatln-l
has allowed good progress in planting, thh .
germination of crops, tha enlargement iT
country retail trade, improved re-ordets fur
summer goods and the placing with con
fidence of a volume of fall orders fully
equal to a year ago. Collections also have
measurably improved. Eastern money fnr
legitimate business needs Is likewise f. re
shadowed. Railway earnings are large...
clearings still make records for this sea
son of the year and call for replacement at
Ban Francisco Is a feature helpful to trade
In many lines. There are, of cjurse, some
few unfavorable features.
The coal strike still hangs fire and minor
troubles due to untonlstlc movements on the
lakes and In a few cities, the recrudescence
In a mild form of May day strikes, are all
elements to be reckoned with.
Business failures In the United States
are small in number for the week ending
May I, only 139, against 177 lait week, 197
In the like week of 1905, 17 in 1904, 175 la
1908 and 17 In 1902.
Corn exports for the week are 1,036,316
bushels, against 1,428.921 bushels last week,
2.716.676 bushels a year ago, 628.461 bushels
In lf04 and 1,631,709 bushels in 19ut.
In Csnada failures this week number 20,
ss against 23 last week and 29 In this week
a year ago. .
