CEOP NEWS OF IMPORTANCE Certain I'nfavorable Report Appar ently Have lleen KxuBeratei Iron Good Firmer, a Shown by Advance. ' NEW YORK, April 30.-R. Q. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade today saye: Conditions of business are ntlll Irregular, but the volume of trado continues heavy. Certain unfavorable reports have appar ently been exutsKerated and thi-lr effect on business Is out of real Importance to their real significance. Much this year depends upon crops. No action has been taken to . usci rtain the production of pig Iron, but veveral more furnaces have blown out their slacks and others ure expected to ilo likewise. A proposition has been ad vanced among merchant furnaces in some of the largest Pennsylvania districts to hut down for thirty days between now and July 1. Insofar as demand for pig Iron is concerned ciuiiitlions are. If anything, more quiet than in the preceding weeks, but prices now show some resilience tu the declining tendency exhibited in steel making lion. Producers on coke are cur tailing more freely in response to the blow- ' lug out of furnaces and it is einiated that the weekly output Is lUU.'AW tons less man at the end of March. In finishing liuee the situation is somewhat mixed and no great amount of business is being done. Important contracts for structural material are pending. Rail requirements for the railroads apparently have beei. natnly filled and two export orders call for ZS.Mjo tons. The primary goods in the maiket are Headier, but still rule very gulet. Lry goods are a shade firmer, as hown by an advance of a quarter of a cent on drills and sheetings and curtail ment Is steadily increasing. It Is seasonably quiet In the Jobbing trade, but retailers buy steadily and carefully without dsire to anticipate In the immediate require ments. Duplicate orders for fall men's winter wooiens are coming In, but the trade in worsteds rules quiet More favorable prices in the worsted yarn markets prom-it-e wider buying In the near future. Dress goods trade continues light. A good volume of new orders lor the liext fall run have been received by shoe manufacturers tn all sections of the coun try, bhoe shipments from Boston for the week are slightly larger. Sole leather is stronger and the laigest tanner announces n advance of I In l cents per pound. ole leather tanners are well sold up and booked ahead on some grades. Some kinds of upper leather are selling well, but other descriptions continue neglected, bales of western packer hides during the last ten Cays aggregated about l.'o,(KK hides and this lias served to steady ttie mat ket. Uradslrert'a Htilew of Trade. NEW YORK. April 90. Hradstreet's today ays: Cold weather with snow west and south have checked retail trade and dtillett ro dder business In tprlug goous, while the reports of crop damage resulting from the return of winter weather have resulted In dulling' fall trade, pending the ultimate crop outcome. Taken as a whole, the re ports from Jobbing and wholesale trade lines and Industries point to a slowing down rather than a quickening of demand, and the downward tendency of ma,ny com modities does not seem to have brought out much new business, tho feeling being apparently that buying only to fill actual needs Is now the part o conservation, pending clearer views of crop and price over the country. The textile trades fail to reflect much expansion of demand. The cotton situation still Is unsettled and ex tension of curtailment Is being advocated, while the wool market Is easier both for old and new supplies. In the lion ai.il steel trades pig Iron production Is In excess of demand and some furnaces are blowing out. The Inclement weather temporarily checked building operations, but activity in that line is still manifest. The leather und shoe trades are nulet, but eastern shoe shipments are equal to a year ugo. Prices of commodities have tended down ward, which is a possible reflection of faith in future supplies and of crop damage be ing exaggerated. Food products are gen erally lower at wholesale.

All of the employes of the Omaha Gas company assembled In the office of the gas company on Howard street shortly before G o'clock on Friday evening to say farewell to Mr. Isaac Uattln. the retiring treasurer and engineer of the company. Every man and boy In the employ of the company was present. Mr. Q. W. Cla baugh, the vice president and secretary paid a beautiful tribute to the character, fidelity and faithful service of Mr. Battln, who had been with the company for nearly a quarter of a century. On behalf of the employes he wished Mr. and Mrs. liuttln a quiet, peaceful and happy life during their remaining days. In token of their affection and esteen theyl presented hint with, an eh gunt rocking chair, and In ac cepting same he expressed his great ap preciation of their tamest co-operation with him In the upbuilding of the Omaha Otia company. Mr. und Mrs. Battln leave for Philadelphia Saturday evening on the Burlington, Denioeru tic Delusion. KEARNEY, Neb., April 29. To the Editor of The Bee: At present when real or Imag inary dissatisfaction ..with the administra tion and republican , leaders in congress exists or is supposed, to exist, It Is some what amusing to observe the .democratic press cagerly holding out landing nets to capture the dissatisfied ones. '.'Come into our fold,", they cry, "all ye . disgruntled republicans! Wo . are still , the same old party of reform, and stand for those prin ciples that, you advocate." . This la amusing because so utterly bare faced. History as. recent as the last con-1 gress.refutes.it. .When Aldrlch needed votes to carry his tariff measure, which Is the measure that Is supposed to be the chief cause of dissatisfaction In republican ranks, ho found no difficulty In securing enough democratic support to carry It., And to. think of Roger Sullivan, Tom Taggart of French Lick Springs fame, or Tammany Murphy at the head of a reform party. Is to smile. Of a certainty It is to smile. . The somewhat vacillating' Peerless One, who has sporadically stood for various re forms, la discredited by- his own party. And passing Lack . only a few years to the time when the . democrats were safely entrenched In the administrative and legis lative branches of our government we see a spectacle of such eager reformers, that oven the most faithful democratic news paper passes by that period in the utmost silence. . . There Is," however, no doubt In my mind that the party label of any party Is less venerated today than In any previous time of our history. Appeals to tho voters In the name of this grand old party that Lincoln founded or the glorious party of Thomas Jefferson has no longer power to stir the heart throbs of the average voter, and that this is so Is a healthy in dication of a more Intelligent grasp of public questions. It Is this growing Intel ligence that must be reckoned with by those who aspire to public eminence In the future. The most Intelligent voter Is, after all, the independent voter, who weighs all questions of public policy and casts hi vote In accordance with his Judgment. This class has grown sufflcieiytly large In the last ten years to act as a safety valve on any party In power. May his tribe In crease! N. II. JOHNSON. Let la Have l ight. OMAHA, April 29. To the Kditor of The Uee: Tn eioctrto lifbt la trout of my house has "been out about a dosen times within the last six months. . , I call up the police station every time the light goes out, but It does not make any differ ence. There 1b no gas lamp or other lignt to take Its place, so we have to remain In the dark. A large number of lights have been ' out at different-times In the south side of the city. Now what would happen It all the electric lights went out? Omaha woujjl be in the dark. If a great flood should put out the fires In the power houses of the- Electric Light company and .the Street Railway company of Omaha we .would have to. walk home In the dark and a great deal of business would stand still, i vTwenty-flve years agq there was a great explosion and a flro in the old gas plant, and Omaha. was In the dark for several nights.- The city council passed a resolu tion declaring tho necessity of having! two gas plants, so that one might take the place of the other In case of accident, and the gas company, promptly responded by locating plant No. 2 on South Twentieth. Jt might be a good Idea to have a provi sion for duplicate power plants In any franchises that may. be voted hereafter, so that, Omaha would never be In danger of having to walk home In tho dark. MICHAEL LEli. IRON WORKER FOUND DEATH IN STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES Joseph Belt Foond Dead in Aetna Hotel with Head Burled In Blood-Covered Pillow. John Bolt, a structural Iron worker, was found kneeling, with his head burled In a blood covered pillow, dead, In a room at the Aetna hotel. Thirteenth and Douglas streets, yesterday afternoon. There was no wound perceptible on the man's body or evidence In the .room to Indicate how he had come to his death. Apparently he had suffered a hemorrhage. Joseph White, day clerk In the rooming house, discovered Belt's body, when the clerk led a patron to the room', thinking It was unoccupied and Intending to rant It. A chair was propped securely against the doorknob in such a way as to hold It secure against entrance from the outside. White and his patron looked through the transom and upon seeing the prostrate form, fi reed the door in. Belt had been dead several hours. Other roomers at the house said they had known Belt for over a year, during which time he lodged , off and on at the Aetna. He was Si years told and unmar ried. He seemed always to be cheerful and without worry. The man's relatives are said to live In a town In Missouri. Belt was robbed of ' his clothing by a roommate about a week ago. He reported the Incident to the police, but said the stolen belongings were not of much value and the loss did not disturb him.
