The rains wnich have prevail ed throughout the west hare brought about a renewed feeling of confidence exceedingly encouraging at this time. To say that things looked remarkably bad for a time is putting it mildly. Every crop ox- ccpt corn had suffered materially and the long continued drought was beginning to have its effect on that cereal. A failure of the corn crop would have been disastrous in the extreme. Merchants throughout the state realized this and consequently the fear of damage to that crop had a depressing effect on business. Tho abun dant rains have dissipated all apprehensioos of that kind for some time to come and the warm cloudy weather has materially aided its growth. With three weeks more of such weather as has prevailed here recently corn will be well up, shading the ground from the Bun's rays and retaining the moisture. Shnrtago of the wheat crop has raised tho price of that cereal and thero is every reason to suppose that it will remain firm at a reason ably good figure. Business iu most lines has kept up fairly well for this season of the year. There aro few largo orders and very few reports of new concerns starting in business. As a matter of fact, jobbers and re tailers aliko are resigned to tho condition of affairs. Tho summer season is now here and little chango in tho situation may bo expected before fall. In all staplo lines business is holding its own, and whilo close buying and small orders is tho rulo, tho total foots up to quito a satisfactory amount. Dealers in tho ncccs "ftitics of life aro doing a fair amount of business, but those selling high-class goods and articles of luxury continue to feel the stress of tho times. This is a very natural condition. Albert Andriano. Jfc . WAMmmri i&iv tt'&d Sffl1 M!VIW -. A r W..W I s&TZrSs S l r- v'j? "ww r iry?z . " SmT. ttrr X kVx-w- Zf s. . ; &ar&&f 1 r TOJTOR t C7ZJ. r ?

V different sides to it should come un one of these days, wo would bet everything that we could got our hands on that the State Journal would get on all sides of it at onco. Our contemporary is remarkably agile in feats of this kind. When the Herron flopped its wings in this city last week and Governor Crounso promptly clipped them, the Journal wa on the side of the Herron and the governor. It was also on the Bide of the chancellor of the university. It was on everybody's side. Wednesday morning our contemporary started out to make an apology for its timidity and ended by making a worse job of it than it was before. There are some curious things about the "policy of the Journal. There continues to be talk of nominating Crounso for governor Stranger things have happened. Men in charge of insane asylums seem to develop brutal instincts. There is no question that Eugene Montgomery was inhumanly treat ed at the state hospital for the insane in this city, and if other re ports that aro current on the streets are to be believed, there has been a good deal of serious maltreatment of patients at the asylum in recent years. The public would undoubtedly like to see the mat ter fully ventilated. It is fully as important to know whether pa tients are abused as to know some other facts to ascertain which there was a great and much heralded investigation recently. A few more Dave Bowes and there would not be any interest in base ball left. Honest sport suffers greatly from blacklegs liko Rowe. The Courier has not been at any time particularly enthusiastic in praise of Mayor Weir; but it feels that some acknowledgment is due His Honor for his attempt to abate the practice of throwing waste paper and garbage into tho street. May be there is some good in Weir after all. Warranted the BEST- FLOUR in America. Any Grocer can get it for you. Nono Gcnuino without cut of Indian oa bade of sack. J.K. & Co., Wholesale Aft&.
