Rounds has seen Menasha grow from infancy, he has been identified with its interests and history romX.the beginning1, and has always been in hearty accord with all of its advancements, and we shall feel his loss as individuals and as a community. He has been in feeble health for some time and a recent fall hastensd the end. We all extend to his family and friends our heartfelt sj mpathy.

Rounds is survived by his wife and five children, Lillian, Harriet, and Edith of Menasha, Mrs. A. H. Grout St Paul, Aug. 5.

Although conditions approaching a tie up 'hare not yet developed as a result of the strike of the telegraphers on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads, increasingly serious delays are being caused in the moving of traffic The effect of the strike is becoming manifest in the movement of passenger trains, which the officials by strenuous efforts have been able so far to keep practically on schedules. Butte, Mont, Aug. 5. Ralph E. Spunrier, a telegrapher and formerly a member of the Mill and Smelter-men's union, of Butte, refused to Join the striking operators of the Northern Pacific road, and several hundred smeltermen held a meeting and marched in a body to the depot, surrounded the structure, and compelled Spurrier to quit work, under pain of being "escorted frompwn," an expression significant in Butte circles.

Other operators were looked for, but none was found. A dispatch from Clancy, a division point on the Great Northern, about 50 miles north of Butte, says that the miners there fired the operator from the only boarding house in the town because he refused to stay with his comrades on strike. The man had to be fed by the division superintendent in the latter's car. At Basin, 40 miles north of Butte, on the Great Northern, the Heinze miners and mill men requested a "scabbing" operator to cease -work. The telegrapher armed himself with a rifle and defied the miners until about 60 gathered with a long rope with a noose in the end, when the man weakened and several hours later left the camp.

Striking operators assaulted the telegraphers at Easton and wrecked the station, have been arrested and lodged in jail. Rebecca Prentiss and Rounds, born in Hio District, Bridgton, Maine, Tokio, Aug. 6. The bulk of the Ru sian garrison of Sakhalin surrendered to the Japanese July 31. report giving details of the final pursuit and surrender of the majority of the Russian garrison on Sakhalin island has been received as follows: "An independent cavalry column on thV afternoon of July 28 attacked the enemy south of Paleo and routed him, driving, him southward, capturing two field guns besides a number of rifles and quantity of ammunition.

Russians Ask a Truce. "On July 29 the cavalry, being reinforced, vigorously pursued the enemy south of Taylan, which lies 25 miles south ot Rykoff. The enemy halted at Onol, 25 miles south of Taylan, and at five o'clock on the morning of July 30 sent a letter under a flag of truce to the Japanese commanding officer from Gen. Liapnoff, the Russian gqyernor, saying: that through the lack of bandage material and medicines and the consequent inability to succor the wounded, he waa compelled from a sense of humanity to terminate hostilities.

5. R. G. Dun ft Weekly Review of Trade says: "Business continues to expand in a wholesome manner that promises well for the future. Reports from the leading branches of manufacture are unanimous in telling of an increasing volume of orders, and the percentage of idle machinery steadily diminishes.

Textile plants make the best returns, closely followed by footwear factories, and some divisions of the steel industry 'are engaged so far anead that ca-pacy is extended. Better prospects for the crops remove the only handicap that, impeded the revival of trade, and favorable weather for a few weeks will assure unprecedented production in the aggregate, although the yield of cotton will fall considerably behind last year's. The month of July made a most encouraging exhibit in so far as statistics are, available, liabilities of failures being smaller than in any month since April, 1901, and railway earnings surpassing last year's by 9.1 per cent Foreign trade at this port for the last week shows gains of $1,776,184 in exports and $1,608,564 in imports, as compared with the same period in 1904. "Quiet conditions in the leading iron and steel markets do not prevent activity at the mills, which operate freely on old contracts and are preparing for a vigorous fall campaign. Prices of miner metals have risen still further, they selling six cents higher than it did a year ago.

Recent advances in hides are fully maintained and in some varieties further strength has appeared and importers are actively bringing supplies from Europe. "Failures this week in the United States, are 232, against 214 last week, 193 the preceding week, and 230 the corresponding week last year, and in Canada 26, against 27 last week, 23 the preceding week, and 18 last year, Bradstreet'B says: "Trade and industry improve as crops mature. Fall business, while not yet in full swing, shows signs of expansion, and western trade opens a week earlier than last year.

His life here as citizen, businessman, and active member of the Congregational church is well known. He came to Wisconsin in 1845, and ttTMe-nasha in 1849. Mr. Rounds was mar ried July 19, 1854 to Ann E.

North-rup. He was for many years a flour manufacturer and grain dealer and prominent lumberman. Later he was in the paper mill business and was at one time president of two paper mills."
