CHICAGO, Aug 8.-Chief Of Police Hub
band, in company with several Of DR..
Cronin's friends went down to see Burke
Yesterday afternoon for the purpose OF
identification by friends: Hubbard car
ried him letter which had been in the
North side postoffice for some time. 1t
was from his mother, in Iowa. The
prisoner opened the letter and read it.
When he had finished he threw himself
] upon the floor of his cell and cried like a
/ child. Owing to his grief-stricken con-
EDITION, it was decided to postpone his
consultation with witnesses until another
time. Chief McCrae Of the Winnipeg
police will be witness at the trial,
He won Burke's confidence during the
latter's sojourn in Winnipeg and the
prisoner made an important admission tf
him. The authorities here are confident
that Burke will eventually confess.

IMMENSE INCREASE IN WOOL RE.
CEIPTS HERE.
They are the Largest Received in any Mon
tana Market-The Wool Season
Reviewed-Hlgh Prices
and Brisk Sales t.

The wool season which is now draw
ing to close has been remarkable for
quick sales and high prices. The season
began early-about June (Which was
three weeks earlier than last. The GER
tainty of high prices made the sheep
owners hurry up the sl.earing and dis
patch the wool to market.
Accordingly from tile opening day on,
there was steady influx OF wool from
the great ranches of the Judith, the Teton,
the Musselshel and the Chestnut valley.
The clips we're large and the wool was in
good condition. In some exceptional
cases the staple fell short of last years
product. ".r..l." @- .@#
The price opened at 20 cents and stead
lily advanced to 234. The bulk Of the
wool sold at from ~ to 20 cents. In the
early part of the season the wool was sold
readily for spot cash. Later in the season
many seeep owners consigned their wool
to eastern markets, but ttimes there was q
general disposition on the part Of buyers
to procure all the wool they could fol
ready money. As rule, the wool-growers
were ready for a deal on "priyate terms
or otherwise. @
The receipts here attained the high fig
ure Of 1,850,0OO pounds This is the larg.
est quantity received in any Montant
market this year. 1t exceeds by 850,OOt
pounds the receipts at Great Falls las
year when wool was received here for thu
first time. The increase is due TO thu
growth of the north Montana wool indus
try and to the inducements which ths
central location and railroad facilities
offered to wool growers. "...
The attendance of buyers Throughout
the season was large. The leading houses
Of Boston, New York and Philadelphia
were represented by such veterans in the
trade as Messrs. Eldredge, Martin, Price
Walker, Putnam, Mum, Livingston anc
others. Mr. Paris Gibson of this city also
DuuguLf siargeiy neou,re olpson was

esy and fair treatment which they receiv-
ed from, both local and eastern buyers.
Nearly all the wool received here was
compressed for shipment. This effected
considerable saving IN freight and met
with the approval of the large eastern
houses. The freight rates were reason
able throughout the season. Compressed
wool was forwarded in car load lots from
here to Boston and other eastern points
for $1,65 per 100 pounds
On the whole, the wool season has been
satisfactory to the enterprising wool
growers of north Montana who will enter
on another year with the fullest conf
dence. that their staple will continue tc
grow in fayor with eastern manufacturers
and q olllnand q fair price. Before long
they hope that part Of the Montana clif
will be sssanuf actured in Montana mills

when they feel so inclined, Their mistress
never interferes with them. To do so would
require exertion, and activity of any kind

The mid day meal in Cuba corresponds to
the dijeuner in France. It consists first of
Spanish olives and pineapples or oranges,
after which is served in courses eggs, fish,
steak, chops, potatoes, bacalao (rice), jelly

the aroma of the essence of the Arabian

THE SPANISH RULE

little is said about it, but great deal is
felt. The Cubans are not permitted to

Nobody knows exactly how much Eckley
Brinton Coke is worth. The family of
which he is now the recognized head owns
many thousands of acres of coal lands in
Luzerne and Carbon counties. From these
they receive enormous sums in royalties,
the firm of which the ex-senator is the head
being one of its principal lessees. Despite his
enormous wealth, Mr.. Coxe's habits are SIM
pie. At his home in Drifton, he wears the
plainest clothing and rides oftenest on q
mountain blackboard. In the. summer time
he throws off coat and vest aud gives his
suspenders long rest, substituting plain
leather belt therefor. He wears colored
shirts with collar attached, but scorns the
use of necktie. Gloves he couldn't be in
duced to wear.
He climbs to the top of his highest break
ers and descends to the lowest depths of his
numerous mines, coming out as black and
dusky as any laborer in his employ. All
this is fun for him, in his capacity of min
ing engineer. When he wants some real,
light amusement he generally goes to his
library and revels in the poetical creations
of the higher mathematicians. At the age
of 10 he made translation of the great
German Wiesbach's mathematics, which is
still used as a text book in the English and
American polytechnical schools. He is
