Conditions In the footwear industry were unsettled by the llibor controversy at Lynn, and some other factories are closed for Inventories. There Is no controversy re garding prices. Similar conditions exist as to heavy leather, small stocks being carried by the shoe factories and quotations aie well maintained. Light sole and upper leather 'is more abundant, sales of the former being made at pronounced conces sions. Export demand has sustained the market for glased kid, but domestic trade Is poor.

Newton Nelson, charged with robbing Peter Thorsted of $70 at Benson, wheiu both were employed, was declared not guilty in criminal court Friday afternoon and Judge Sears commended the verdict when it was read. Magnus Mogesen, at one time a suspect and later held as an im portant witness In tho case, has disap peared and efforts of the sheriff's office to locate him Friday were In vain. Judge Sears delayed the case from morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but when the officers failed to 1'lnd him the case went on without him. A man by his name was brought Into court, hut he was not the missing witness. Thorsted, the complaining witness, was packing his trunk to go back to Denmark to get married, according to his testimony. when the purse containing his money dlsap. peared. Ntlsen and Mogesen had both been in the room during the packing process. Later Thorsted said he found tho money burled in a lot on the farm where all three men worked. Nclsen was arrested on tin road near the spot where Thorsted said he found the money, but the principal evidence connecting him with the crime was to have been furnished by Mogesen, who failed to show up at the trial. Judge Sears said he believed Nelsen was Innocent of the crime. "I am glad to say this In the presence of Mrs. Nelsen." he continued, "who, though she has Bhed no tears, has shown she feels deeply. Nelsen has not the face of a criminal." Mr. Nel sen thanked tho Judge and Mrs. Nelsen the Jurors. Ho Question as to the Superiority. of Alim!

Are you ready to como back to me and the children?" The other man at tho card table In Chi cago sprang to his feet as the remark was uttered upon the entrance of an at tractive woman to the room. "What do you mean by speaking that way to my wife?" he demanded. "Your wife!" ejaculated the first man. "Why, she's mine. I married her eight years ago right here In Chicago. We have two children." While tho woman, too astounded at thus meeting her first husband to utter a word, looked on helpless, the men sprang at each other. They strained back and forth across the fh-or and finally plunged through a doer tJ the sidewalk, held in each other's grasp. The fight ended when a policeman aep arated them. Then both wero taken with tho woman to the Harrison street police station, the men charged with disorderly conduct and tho woman with bigamy. The scene of the encounter was the headquarters of the Clgarmakera1 union,, at Fifth avenue and Madison street, Chi cago. The combatants, lifelong friends, although each ignorant of the woman's place In the other's life, were John Whit field. W) years old, 3733 Iowe avenue, and Joseph Bolleyn, 33 years of age, who Uvfs on Harrison street, near fYfth ave nue. The woman, who deserted Whitfield last November and immediately afterward was married to Bolleyn, Is 37 years old. It had been the custom of the men to met t at the clgarmakera' headquarters In the afternoon to play cards. They wero thus engaged when Mrs. Whltflcld-Bolleyn entered the room the other afternoon In search of Bollf yn, and entirely unaware that she was to encounter her first hus band. At firft she seemed looking for aome avenue of escape, when she realised her position, but, gathering courage, stood her ground while the men fought, vainly try ing to pacify them, until she was arrested with them. Both men si III insisted that she was his wife when Policeman Baxak had separated them. "She deserted Ine last November after I had caused her arrest for disorderly con duit," declared bitfield. "1 uwrrkU her last November," a vehe mently asserted Bolleyn, "and aho never told me sha had been married before. We have been living; together near Fifth ave- nue and Harrison atroet." At the police, atation Whitfield ana: T fminii mit mv wife had been accepting attentions from another man and I had her arrested. The matter was settled in court and she went home with ma, but disappeared soon afterward. I never ob tained a divorce, because I wanted her to return. I thought ahe wa looking for me when ahe came in thla afternoon." Mrs. Whltfield-Bolleyn admitted that ahe had been married to both men. She said .h h.,4 relieved that Whitfield, her first husband, bad obtained a dlvoroo follow ing their separation last rovemter. ene said ahe married Bolleyn a few weeks after her separation.

In tha period of world wide Industrial ad. verslty, the United States is the most pros perous country on the globe. It Is the most prosperous country because, while the adversity struck us earliest and hardest of all the countries, the rally came here quickest and has extended farthest. When the set back struck us in the clos ing days of October, 1907, our pur chases from the rest of the world promptly shrunk, while our sales to the world promptly Increased for several months, though then they fell off slightly. Thus, for tha fiscal year whtch ended on June Soth, 1908. there waa a balance in our favor in the foreign trade of JfiM.GoO.OOO, which was the wargest ever rolled up In any twelvemonth. It waa 1120,000,000 more than tha balance for 1907. It waa I2.000.000 mora than the balance for 1901, which waa tha largest ever attained until 19i. No other country In tha world ever had a fav orable margin of trade even remotely ap proaching ours of 1908. Here was the most atrlking exhibition of an adjustment to un favorable conditions which the world has seen. In this way wa Increase our credits abroad and obtain the gold which we needed to help ua to tide over the financial acare.

The fact that the. I'nlted States has the freest and best government In the world counts much in determining Hi prosperity.
