Fall Trade Opens Brisk and the Coun try Is Prosperous. New York, Aug. .. Report to the International Mercantile Agency re lied a distinct Improvement In busi ness condition during the week under review. At the went the gain huve heeii specially noted and are partially accounted for hy lncreael order from retailer who were careful not to over tock with summer good and are con sequently In an unusually strong port ion with reference to Hecuring full sup plied. Oood order are being received from country merchant. While dis patcher from varlou centers are not uniform In expressing trade revival the tone I more confident than a week ago and generally suggestive of a hope ful outlook for the future. Thl re vival Is practically reported by Chica go wholesalers. The best demand Is noted In clothing, men and womens' apparel and shoe. Consumption of commodities and better orders for canned good and groceries are further Indications of trade revival In this dis trict. The south is also active and Is likely to develop the heaviest fall trade reported In years. The St. Paul district which has been the center of crop damage excitement, I showing up well with conservative business and normal trade outlook. In that section as In other territory whose proMrlty Is affected by the wheat yield the people are prosperous and not In the least concerned about the "crop killing" scare. While business Is still disturbed In some section by the con tinuance of labor controversies, this Interruption Is not Important and Is not likely to extend to branches not ulready affected. Although collections are a little backward In some sections gen eral returns this week are satisfactory except In certain Instances where local conditions have developed unusual bar riers. It Is noticeable however that lo calities which a short time ago reported deferred aettlemenV. are not complain Ing about present conditions and reflect a gradual Improvement. The fact that present Indebtedness represents dis criminating purchases of goods that for the most part have been readily con verted Into cash, shows thut conditions In general are propitious for quick set tlements. The presidential election is still a modifying factor In some sec tions where trade development has been held pending a definite settle ment of the Issue Involved. But It Is becoming recognised that the present contest does not Involve questions of far reaching Importance to the busi ness community, and that aside from the occasional Interruptions due to the carrying on of a hot campaign the out look for September and October Is bright. ot Rolls hot muffins, hot cakes, made with Royal Baking Powder may be freely eaten without fear of indigestion. In "Leah, the Forsaken," at Fishers' N.xt Week. She Is assailed by a mob and threat ened with violence. Seeking refuge at the nearest home, she finds shelter at Rudolph's hearth and is protected by Madeline, who does not recognize her. Rudolph meets Leah. The latter dis closes the Identity of the schoolmaster, who stabs her to death. As he Is taken to his punishment, Leah dies' with a blessing on her Hps for Rudolph and Madeline. This company carries special scen ery and costumes for this piece. Pop ular prices will prevail. The seat sale opens at Griffin's book store at 9 o'clock this morning. HIS OWN CLIENT. "LEAH, THE FORSAKEN." Strong Dramatie Bill to Be Presented At Fishers' Op.ro House. In "Leah, the Forsaken," Augustln Duly's exceptionally powerful drama, that is to be presented during the en gagement of are Margarita Fischer New York Evening Mall: Judge Parker's notification speech Is a brief to the country to believe that he can be trusted. He has nothing to say for his party or It record, nor for his own two successive votes for Bryan; but speaking of his future attitude he reiterates his belief that the gold standard is now so firmly established that it would be useless to attempt to disturb it, and adds that the certainty of a republican United States senate removes all opportunity for democratic smashing of the tariff. In other words, on these two contending features of governmental policy, Judge Parker holds, as to the first, that he would not, if he could, reverse republican policy, while as to the other he could not If he would. In the event of his election, there fore, and so far as he Is concerned, Jude Parker argues that the country would stand precisely where It has stood the past eight years on Its money and tariff policies, enjoying the ben efits of both; but his testimony to the KEEP YOUR HEAD UNCOVERED.

Special Agent 1 permanence ot those policies suggests a kkr2r1 A lir no reason why the party that formulat- ! Jn lu.

Can Judge Parker believe j that without a reason, and a substan- J tial one, too, the people would constl- j tute him the guardian of the two pol-! Icles his party has opposed more bit terly and persistently than any other questions before the country since the civil war? And can he honestly as sume that he and his party would be so chosen In preference to those who: he concedes have done their work so well, despite his opposition, that It can not and should not now be disturbed? THE BEST ADVERTISING. Newspapers Sent to the Eastern States Bring Settlers. The following Item, from the Eugene Morning Register, illustrates the value of a wide-awake newspaper in the way of creating an Interest In a given region: Lane county continues to read the benefits of the Morning Register's missionary work In the form of Its an niversary edition. Yesterday Henry Douglass of Lyon county, Iowa, arriv ed here to seek a location, he having been apprised of our superior advan tages through the medium of the Reg ister's anniversary number, good re sults from which are being reaped from its broadcast distribution throughout the east. Mr. Douglass says that no less than 100 different families of his neighborhood perused a single copy of the edition, and that they are now awaiting his verdict before "pulling up stakes" to cast their lots with us. It is needless to state that his verdict will be In favor of the "plaintiff" on the grounds of prima facie evidence. The overland, which brought Mr. Douglass to our borders, consisted of 17 coaches chock full of homeseekers. He says that "Oregon" was on everybody's lips. According to Mr., Douglass, the Iowa wheat crop Is a total failure, but oats and corn are pretty good crops. Com ing through the Dakotas he ascer tained that these big cereal states will fall short of their averages by long odds that not over 10 bushels to the acre will be realized.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 26, 7:45 a. m. The Russ today declares It Ss In a position to state authoritatively that there is not the slightest foundation for the report that Ialy has suggested 'to France an offer of her good offices on behalf of Russia. An inspection of the cruiser Askold proves, according to the Russ, that the damage is irreparable and she Is forced to disarm, thus closing one phase of the Incident. Protection of the cruiser now devolves upon China and, Inci dentally upon the neutral powers hav ing warships at Shanghai The paper adds this warning: "The protection must be effective, as another breach of neutrality on the part of Japan will force Russia to re gard China as a belligerent, and thus change the whole aspect of affairs in the far east." The Novoe Vremya supposes, now that the Vladivostok squadron Is tem porarily out of commission, contra band trade will resume full swing, "es pecially . since the Smolensk which has proved to be the flying Dutchman to English traders on the South Af rican route is now definitely headed oft." ' Comparing the methods of, the two countries, the Novoe Vremya con continues: "We must confess we prefer the open, frank hostility with which the; United States has been supplying food stuffs and war material to Japan to the hypocritical manner in which Eng land has been carrying on the same trade." . you to rob this the Judge of the "What prompted man's till?" asked prisoner.
