Carlson is thought to have headed for the Yukon country on th.• last lap of a remarkable life of globe-trotting. •His next journey was to have been to Pittsburg to rejoin his white-haired mother, Mrs. Johanna Carlson, of 137 Pearl Street, Bloomfleld. Railroad officials in the Northwest think that somewhere near Portland j Oregon, the man boarded the box car. The bolting and sealing of the car on the outside and the start of the big freight train over the Cascade .Mountains left him to d'w a slow death of starvation as the heavy train threaded its way over the slopes and ranges of the mountainous journey to Seattle.

LONDON, August in. — Florence Nightingale, the famous nurse of the piimean war, and only woman who ever received the Order of Merit, tiled Saturday afternoon at her London home. Although she had been an invalid for a long time, rarely leaving her room, where she passed the time in a half-recumbeut position, and was under the constant care of a physician her death was somewhat unexpected. A week ago she was quite sick, but then improved, and on Friday was cheerful. During that night alarming symptoms developed, and she gradually sank until Saturday afternoon when an attack of heart failure brought the end. Her funeral will be as quiet as possible, in accordance with her wishes. During recent years, owing 10 her feeblenesss and advanced age, Miss Nightingale had received but few visitors. On May 12 last she celebrated her ninetieth birthday, and was the recilpent of a congratulatory message from King George. Imea." Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820. Sh*» was the first woiman to follow a modern army into nattle as a nurse, and in the Crimean ivar gained the title of "Angel of the By United Press. LONIDON, Aug. 15.—John Fineghan, former orderly to Florence Nightingale, in her hospital work, and in the Crimean War, died today, after being told of her death. Physicians say that grief killed him. iMiss Nightingale's request for a simple funeral will probably be ignored. The English press is urging a place for the noted woman in Westminster Abbey. It is possible that a public funeral will be given the dead woman, with full military honors. With the exception of Victoria's death, that of no other woman produced so many expressions of grief. The King has sent a personal representative to her home. There are a number of road supervisor* in Jefferson and Indiana county who should be brought to task for negligence. iMany of the most traveled highways in both counties are lined for miles with loose stones. Tn tftast Mahoning Township, Indiana County the loose stones are especially in evidence and. according to one of the farmers residing in that section, no call for road! work has been issued to date this summer. The farmers have had no chance to work out their taxes, and many of them are anxious to have the county authorities take up the matter and see that something is done. Some time ago the Indiana Automobile Club announced its intention of /piaking an inspection of all the roads in that county for loose stones, etc. The supervisors in the townships where the roads are found to be in bad shape were to be notified to attend to their duties. A second inspection was to be made a month later, and if the same conditions prevailed. legal steps were to be taken. The condition of many of the roads in Indiana County would not indicate that the Indiana motorists have followed out their plan of procedure, but the idea is an excellent one, and might well be wollowed by the Punxsutawney Automobile Club. The Italians of VValston, at time •o'clock this afternoon started the celebration of St. Rocco'.s Day, the festivities to continue until midnight tomorrow night. The celebration promises to be the •most auspicious yet held In this vlcinty on a similar occasion. At three o'clock this afternoon the Collon's Millitar.v Hand, of Walston, made It* appearance, and it is scheduled for a concert that will last until the late hours tonight. Tomorrow morning at 1ft:30 o'clock, high mass will be conducted by Hev. •Father DeVille, assisted by Rev. Father Farri, of Indiana, and Rev. Father Joseph, of Adrian. Following the services the congregation will march to the chapel near the center of the town, which houses an image of St. fRocco. Tomorrow night at nine o'clock a brilliant display of fireworks is scheduled to be put off. $150 has been spend on the display, and it promises to be something out of the ordinary. During the afternoon sack races, potato races, greased pole climbs, etc., will be enjoyd. and at four o'clock Driscoll's Cubs will meet the Fleanora baseball team. The town has been decorated for the occasion, and those In charge have made elaborate preparations for the entertainment of visitors.

Jjetita t>eiiles Allegation of Illinois Miners' Litder. m CHARGES BOIOEHY The crop situation is not all that wis desired. The country was great* in ne. d of bumper crops in order to low. : , ost of food products and reduce the cost of living. The present agricultural outlook Is for an average general result. According to the las: report of the Department of Agriculture the condition of all crops combined on August 1 was 6.."» per cent lower than the average of the past ten years. This low condition will of course be offset by Increases In acreage, and a large crop of corn is likely. possibly 3,000.000,000 however, that the crop is more than two weeks late and, therefore, in particular danger of early frost. In business circles a very cjufet id conservative tone prevails. Some slackening in the demand for merchandise at the hands of distributers is observable, but no serious reaction. Manufacturers are moving While the K- tioral situation is not without drawbacks and uncertainties, the teiidenes is certainly toward* improvement. The rest i lire is at last producing positively beneficent results. especially iri he money market. Not long ago there was well founded apprehension, both at home and abroad, that a serious money .squeeze would develop this fall. Portunately, however, such apprehensions have already undergone considerable rnod- 'itieation. Kxtensive liquidation in stocks, contraction In loans, conconservatism of bankers, liquidation in commodities, slackness in trade, liberal importations of gold and continued rising of bank reserves have all contributed to afford real and perfectly natural relief to the monetary situation. U /.as feared that, owing to the largt land and grain smi dilation in the West, the interior banks would not be able to finance the crops hi season without unusual assistance from Pastern bankers; but for the reasons Just stated fears haw considerably diminished. 1 stringency is of course to be expeHted, and better ra.es for money will -bably rule during the crop-moving season, yet there is now no reason to anticipate sequences. In all probabliK.> 0l y* I sUtr»n« e of the proposed Cu. jg Associa ilons will not be requii ..«q Their formation for the purpose of dealing with emergencies was, as intended. reassuring and proved a useful influence upon sentiment. As business requirements are slackening, and money appears to be accumulat' ing in all principal money markets of the world, unnecessary uneasiness regarding the monetary article should be dismissed a' once; for at the worst nothing more than temporary stringency or m rol> local difficulties a re to be e.\p« i ted. M:\V YORK, Aug. 15.—The busin. -s interests of the country are taking a needed period of rest for recuperation. Our credit machinery and our commercial arrangements haw been more or less out of gear, and readjustment is n> cessary. It is prelf.able tha this be done quietly and gradually rather than violently. This prot ess of quiet adjustment to new conditions is now progressing \er> satisfactorily, and if a few additional Weeks of .est can be endured by the impatient commercial spirit of the country it will be to the advantage of all concerned. lAlthough it has not been definitely announced, it is believed that tha •Mahoning Company will construct a portion of the track, meeting th£ Du'Rois company at a point near the center of the town. |Mtnle«*' Iiines Will Shortly lie Connected.

Tt is now believed that the atrocity was the work of a personal enemy of the miner, but the operators in the Milliard district are just the least bit apprehensive lest  might have been a fresh outbreak of violence, due to the policy of running the mines open shop.
