prospects will not be quite, encouraging.
Rains have decidedly improved crop pros
poets in the northwest, so that great hope
fulness ttnges all commercial reports from
that section and the demoralization Of rail
rates is commonly supposed to promote
better terms to farmers, while the differ
ence in cost of transporting eastern pro-
ducts to western commissioners is already
considerable throughout the region north
and west of Illinois. Wheat has ad-
vancetl 1A cents, with sales
of 60OO0O00 bushels here for
the week. But this speculative movement
seems to take no account Of the fact that
the wheat and flour equivalent is about
10000. 900 bushels in excess of the minimum
stock, which will probably remain from
the. last crop, July lst, to bs added to the
new supply, which now promises to ex.
ceed all requirements for the next year.
Business failures number 20, as compared
with 250 last week and 225 the week pre-.
vious. For the corresponding week Of last
year the figures were 2N.

A Strange Insect Creates Alarm

A Monument to be Erected to the

JOhnstOwn.
Red Cloud still a Drawback.


PINE RIDGE AGENCY, June 2O.-Gov-
ernor Foster and Major Warner, of the
commission this morning held private
council with Red Cloud, and three half
breeds who are his recognized confiden-
tial advisers. The discussion lasted two
hours, but so far as can be learned it has
had no marked result. There seems now
to be no probability of breaking the op-
position here except by securing the sup
port of individual Indians and in this man
ner disintegrating Red Clouds following.
Should the number of these signers be-
come large enough to make the opposition
believe the bill will carry in spite of
them, the result will be the same as at
Rosebud. Gen. Crook is having a confer
ence with old scouts this afternoon. About
one hundred are present. All of those
have signed or will sign, and their COM
bined influence will be powerful lever,
as they are scattered throughout the diff
ferent bands on the agency. There is no ex.
element and apparently no bitterness of
feeling between the different factors, but
Red Clouds prominence is causing some
jealousy among other chiefs. There was
another large council held this afterno on,
at the same time Gen. Crook was talking
with his old scouts, but nothing was de-
cided upon. The Indians have been sign.
ing slowly all day.

Involving About $500, 900 and Some Fine
Legal Points.
OMAHA. June 2l.-A hot legal battle, in
volving 100000, is being fought in the
United States circuit court here, in which
John Fitzgerald, president of the Irish
National league, is plaintiff and Fitzger-
aid, Maloney Construction company and
the Missouri Pacific railroad defendants.
Fitzgerald was general manager Of the con-
struction company and conducted the
building of something like 100 miles of new
road in Wisconsin, for which he claims
never to have received any compensation.
One of the points raised is that, while rep
resenting itself as being financially en-
barrassed and compelled to borrow money
in order to complete the contract, the di-
rectors of the company held meeting and
voted to declare themselves dividend.
The trial will probably last several days.

Murder and Suicide.

STERLING. Kas., June pa horrible
case of child murder and suicide occurred
here at an early hour this morning or late
last night. o. b. Beckham went to Hutch
inson yesterday on business, and return
ing late in the evening, he retired without
disturbing his wife, whom he supposed
had retired, and who had on former oc-
casion asked him not to disturb her when
he came home late. Beckham is not q
sound sleeper, but this morning he over
slept himself, and on going to his wife's
room, he tried to. open the door for the
purpose of calling her, but found it locked.
He called her by name several times, but
receiving no answer, broke open the door.
The first sight that met his gaze was his
little two-year-old daughter lying across
the foot of the bed, cold in death, and his
wife lying on the floor in the agonies Of
death, with frightful wound in her right
temple, and a 81 calibre revolver lying
beside her. Medical aid was summoned,
but the victim was beyond medical skill,
and breathed her last about IL o'clock.

Tho Green Midee at Work.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 2O.-Com.
plants about the destruction of wheat by
strange insect are increasing. They
come chiefly from the central and eastern
parts of the state, but the ravages of the
little bug have already spread to northern
Indiana, and the secretary of the state
board of agriculture regards the reports as
alarming. The insect is what is known
among agriculturalists as the sgreen
midge," another species OF which is the
'red midge". The latter last appeared in
this region about eighteen years ago, and
did great damage to growing wheat. The
green midge, the little destroyer which is
now doing such alarming work, has not
been seen by farmers since 1866, when it
almost entirely destroyed the wheat crop
of Indiana and neighboring states. Mil
lions of them appear in a field, settling
upon the stalk, from which they draw the
sap, causing the grain to shrivel before
matured. The insects are green in color.
Little is known about the insects, because
their appearance has been rare.

JAMESTOWN, June 21.-Attorney- General
Nickeus to-day decided an important ques-
tion affecting the taxability of the bridge
spanning the Missouri river at Bismarck.
Heretofore the bridge has been untaxed,
owing probably to the supposition that it
was owned by separate company, and
Morton and Burleigh county authorities
applied to Auditor McManima to decide
whether they could legally tax the bridge.
He referred the matter to Nickeus who,
upon representation that the bridge is the
property of another company than the
Northern Pacific Railroad company, de-
cides that the counties can tax it, that the
gross earnings law includes only property
belonging to the corporation owning or
operating said railroad. The bridge is
valued at between one and two millions
and the tax which would result from it's
assessment would amount to more than
the company's share Of the gross earning
tax. The attorney general also passed up
on another important question of interest
to the counties. especially those working
under township organizations. Down in a
South Dakota county $1,000 penalty
and interest tax was collected. This
money the county treasurer, instead of
turning over to the various townships to
which it belonged, is by him turned into
the so-called penalty and interest fund.
The county commissioners directed the
transfer of the money into the general
fund. The legality Of the preceding being
questioned, Nickens was asked to give his
opinion and decides that the treasurer had
no right to Withhold the money nor the
commissioners to order the transfer from
fund to fund.
