Pun A Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow, will say: Further progress Is making In trade ex pansion and financial conditions are more Bellied, while politics, In Kpite of the ncar iws of election day. do not materially latfert the business situation. The reports from the leading trade cir cles are ko uniformly favotable as to leave no Question of doubt as to the widespread character of the revival. It Is probably ( p;rlod of Its history has the wealth of the United State made a better snowing of growth than It la making at the present time. If further evidence of the rapid expan sion In Iron and steel were needed, it is furnished by the report of the steel cor poration for the third quarter and the ap propriation of $10,000,000 for new construc tion work, which testifies to the confi dence shown In a steady growth of busi ness in the future. The leading railroads continue to make liberal purchases of needed equipment, re cent sales of rails aggregating 80,000 tons. New business comes forward slowly in tructuial lines. More Interest Is shown In the wire trade than for some time past and current sales are of good volume. The maintained high cost of wool and cotton add complications to the merchan dising of textiles and tend to force irreg ular productions, yet merchants agree that demand Is broadening in distributing chan nels, Just as It has been expanding in primary centers for some weeks. Stocks In retailers' hands are reduced and orders for fall have been so conserva tively placed that the rush for Immediate delivery for seasonable merchandise forces higher prioes and Jobbers are asking that orders for deliveries In December be set ahead. Premiums are being offered for quick de livery of seveial kinds of knit goods. Prices are marked up dally and are already at a high level, although not up to 1907. Hopes of export trade with China are less san guine, but the year's figures of exports trade In cotton goods are still favorable. Improved conditions are still reported In the footwear market, but some lines con tinue neglected. Heavy staples are selling well and shipments from Boston show an Increase. Heavy trading characterized the packer hide market. Trading In sole leather has Improved appreciably, many fair-sized aies Deing ma ue in the Boston market, where stocks of union hemlock and oak are low. noon !e o CD f fS f fi 0 O f "N wUJUwUUUuoUU Car Runs Down Hill in Denver, Bringing Death One Woman Killed and Several Per sons Injured on Seventeenth Street Hill in Accident.

Should the court sustain the appeal and annul sentences It will maintain beyond question the right of free speech , and free press. "If It should sustain the decision of Jus tice Wright, it will simply mean that an appeal must be taken to the highest court In the land to obtain a final word as to the Judicial conception of existing constitu tional guarantees." Even should the high est Judicial tribunal of our country fall to maintain the right of free speech and free press, there Is still a h!gher court the court of publle opinion." - Omaha Firm Gets Water Contract Bids Below Appropriation Made for the System at Rapid City Indian School.

FUNERAL OF GENERAL HOWARD Services Are Held la the Cong-re tlonal Charon at Bnrllasrtoa, Vermont. ARDMORE, Ok!.,, Oct. 29. Arguments were begun In the United States district court here today before Judge Marshall on the demurrer filed by Governor Charles N. Haskell and the five other defendants under Indictment In the Muskogee town lot fraud. The defendants pleaded the statute of limitations. H. E. Asp, for the defense, argued that the statute of limitations began operation from the time of the first alleged overt act, citing Judge Holt's recent decision In the New York sugar cases, Instead of the last overt act, as contended by the gov ernment. The defense argued further that as the Indictments charge the defendants with no overt acts, conspiracy cannot be established. 5 iif You don't need any one to tell you that these Special Saturday offerings are ex ceptional.
