New York, May 12. April had
a month of heavy production in pig
iron and that more particularly on
the part of the steel companies
gays the Iron A ge. The output of
coke and anthracite pig iron was 1,
553,706 tons in April, as compared
with 1,447,065 tons in March. The
steel companies are responsible for
the trreater part of this increase
the product having risen from 502,.
996 tons in January to 974,UUb
tons in April, leaving for the out
nide merchant' furnaces 579,700 tons
in April. Southern furnaces show
practically no change and the east
cm stocks have accumulated a lit
tle.
The volume of new business
which is coming to pig iron makers
has been decidedly light of late and
the markets are showing a weaken
ing tendency. The foundries do
not seem to be securing much new
tonnage.
In nearly all lines of finished iron
and steel the current demand is
light and buyers are acting very
conservatively.
Speaking generally the trade
seems to be drifting rapidly into
the conviction that there will be a
quiet summer.

Astoria People Receiving the Full
' Benefit.;
There have been many cases like the
following in Astoria. These plain,
straightforward statements will do
much toward relieving the suffering of
thousands. ; Such testimony will be
read with Interest by many people.
Mrs. L. C. Heldeback wife of U C
Heldeback, carpenter living at 825
Fourth street, Portland, says: "In my
experience Doan's Ointment Is the best
remedy I ever used for the complaints
It is guaranteed to cure, I had been
bothered a year or more with itching
hemorrhoids which, although not ser
ious, were very annoying. I heard
about Doan's Ointment and got a box.
Its use gave me the highest opinion of
such an effective remedy."
Just such emphatic endorsements
can be had right here in Astoria.

"The rumor that Mr. Bancroft
is preparing to resign his position
is absolutely without foundation,"
gaid Mrs. Bancroft this morning
" There is no more iiUth in it thai
there was in the rumor that be at
tempted to injure himself when th
accident occurred' last Friday m
which he cut his foot while chop
ping wood.
He has never mentioned any
thing of the kind to me and I am
sure that if he intended taking such
action he would have talked with
me about it. He is still confined
to his room and is not able to make
the statement himself, but it's too
ridiculous to deny."

Bancroft, will be able to attend to
persons to
accommodate. Anyone having a spare

the baby!" The little girl said
she did, but would have preferred
a lady baby. "Well," the visitor
continued, "maybe you can ex

Unpleasant Experience of Portlander
With Suicide Corpse.
Portland Journal.
John Nemotz, an old tamnle
maker, was found dead in bed on
Wednesday morning with a bullet
wound in his heart. He is sup
posed to have committed suicide
some time Tuesday afternoon. His
lodgings were in an old room off!
the Columbia hotel, 226 Columbia
street. Nemetr body was louna
this morning by John Stevenson,
who occupied a bed in the same
room. '
Stevenson, who has roomed with
Nemetz for some time, did not re
turn to his lodgings until late last
night. Wearied from his day's la
bors, Stevenson quickly undressed
without lighting a lamp. . He saw
Nemetz lying on the bed, but sup
posed that the old man was drunk
and so did not bother him.
As the men occupied separate
beds, Stevenson did not approach
his roommate last night close
enough to see the blood-stained cov
erings nor the gaping wound in the
dead man's breast. But this morn
ing a ghastly sight met Stevenson's
eyes. Wrapped in bed-coverings
that were saturated in his own
blood lay Nemetz cold in death.
Rushing out of the room, Steven
son met Patrolman Daniel Con
note is penned in the Bohemian lan-
cide. Patrolman Connors at once
went to the room and immediately
notified Coroner Finley. Connors
found a note that Nemetz is sup
posed to have written before firing
trio shot, thnt ended his life. The
not is penned in the Bohemian laa
guage.
Nemetz was born at Wallenic,
Bohemia, in 1845. He had resided
in Portland for several years.
