Range In Prices OF Leading Articles.
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-In wheat there was
moderate trading early. but it was quiet
later. Speculative operators did not take
to either side very heavily. The feeling,
however. was steady and rather firm. The
opening was steady. and prices held most of
the session within ss0 7sc range, ruling
slightly over and slightly under yesterdays
closing figures, and closed lsc higher for
December and 1sc higher for May. Cable
advices were a little more encouraging.
quoting 14c advance for spot, but no change
otherwise. Russian shipments were light.
The wheat crop of the United Kingdom was
estimated by some English authori-
ties to not exceed 100000 900 bushels.
and that the import req uirements
would equal 15O, 600. 900 bushels. This esti-
mate is somewhat at variance with former
official statements, which placed the crop
close to S0,0O0.000 bushels. Advices from
the Northwest state receipts will probably
not let up until after the close of the
month. 1t was estimated that the visible
supply would show an increase of 1000, 900
to 100000 bushels. Rains have been quite
general throughout the winter wheat coun-
try, and also in the Northwest. Trading to-
day was chiefly local. Some few foreign
buying orders were received both for De-
cembsr and May. In corn a fair trade
was transacted within narrow linn
its. and q strong feeling prevailed,
though no material advance was es-
tablished. Small receipts and unsettled
weather were the chief influences which
affected values, the near futures, in particu-

grading of new corn and q very good de-
mand existed for December. The market

traded in TO a moderate extent, and a
firmer feeling prevailed. A large operator
sold heavily at the top and the slight
gain was lost. October met with a
better inquiry and sold at &c advance. In
mess pork only a fair trade was reported,
and the feeling was somewhat unsettled.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Trade Of the Week Only Moderate, with
but Few Fluctuations in Values.

The Trade Of the Week Only Moderate. with
but Few Fluctuations in Values.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. %.
Trade in the week closing to-day was
moderately active. while but few changes
in quotations were made. Poultry and
eggs, which broke badly in the early part
of the week, later on took on a firmer tone,
and the week closes with better markets
for both, but 40 higher prices. Butter is in
large supply. Game is plenty when the de-
mand is taken into consideration. Better
prices and a brisker demand may be looked
for when cooler weather prevails. In gro
ceries there is little new 10 note. Sugars
are lac lower than on Monday. The end of
the downward tendency of the sugar mar
ket is still a matter of speculation. Claus
Spreckles and his refining at Philadelphia
seems to be . disturbing element in the
market, at least what he will do and the
result. seems to be amatter of general COM
ment, and all manner of rum0rs are in cir
culation. Coffee is in fair demand at I'M
changed prices. The market Is quite
steady. but with q leaning toward
the shading of prices. Raisins being in
better supply our quotations may be con-
sidered as extreme. The New York Bulle-
tin says of %coffees: There is a continued
reluctance to engage in any very extensive
deals in actual coffee. For a day or two
there has been an idea entertained that
both interior and local jobbers wanted
moro stock, the occasional invoices ham
died fostering the impression. but q
cautious method has acted rs a restraint,
and many promising negotiations were
abandoned upon very slight difficulty, as
the position of holders also was on the de-
~fensive. and they have carefully contended
for every fractional advantage" The iron
market, the hardware and timers supplies
markets all are in q strong position. with
an advancing tendency in prices. The -four
market is in better shape than a week ago,
and prices on the better grades are a shade
stronger The hide market is active, but

ATROCI0US UXORIOIDE.
A Rocks County Farmer Horribly Mangles
His Wife and Disappears.

ATCHIsoN. Kan, March 22-Brief details
have been received here of a shocking trag-
edy near Stockton, Rocks county, Kansas,
275 miles from Atchison, on the Central
Branch division of the Union Pacific. Last
night about dark the two children of Tay-
lor Cook, farmer when returning home
from school, where they had been all day,
found their father and mother missing and
the furniture in the house broken and
everything in confusion. Looking further
they discovered the dead body of their
mother lying between two feather beds
The body was stark and stiff and the head
beaten into jelly A club was lying on
the floor stained with the blood and hair
of the woman.
Cook was not to be found and is the
man who committed the murder. II is
supposed by the physicians who examined
the body that the murder was done some
time after the departure of the children
for school.
Cook had frequently threatened to kill
his wife, but the immediate cause is I'M
known.
kilograms have been sent out all over
the country giving a description of the fu-
gitive and the Rocks county authorities
are hard at work on the case. There is
great excitement in Stockton and Wig
lance organization has volunteered to as
sist in pursuing the murderer.

THE TOPEKA TRAGEDY.
SpendlOve Undoubtedly Responsible for
the Double Murder,

TOPEKA, Kan, March 22.-All day to-
day people crowded about the windows of
the little shop in which the Werner-Spend-
love tragedy was transacted last night.
Three bullet holes in the ceiling almost
directly over the spot where Werner's body
Spendlove shot him first and then pursued
him into the back room where a struggle
ensued for the possession of the weapon
during which il was discharged three
times. Werner, although smaller than
bis antagonist, was man of powerful
physique, and it would appear that he fin
ally wrested the revolver from Spendlove
and fired the probably fatal shot at the
latter before he himself fell dying.
Several men this merning gave tesli-
mony which is altogether in favor Of this
theory. One saw Werner put his hand 10
his neck after the first shot and heard him
cry murder" and saw HIM retreat with
Spendlove following him. This same man
saw flash in the corner where Werners
body was found and then came the last re-
port, after which Spendlove was seen to
fall. then arise and stagger toward his
desk. The revolver, which has been iden-
titled as Spendlove's. was found lying be
tween the legs of Werner a few inches
from his right hand, which rested on his
right knee. There can be no doubt that
Spendlove had carried this revolver Cor
months and displayed il on many occa-
sions, while the evidence is equally strong
that Werner was never known TO have a
pistol

WHO WILL SUCCEED MATTHEWS
Much Speculation INDUCED in Regarding
This Important Question.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The probable
effect of the death of Justice Matthews
upon the length Of the special session of
the senate was discussed at the capitol to-
day.
Senator Sherman's announcement yes
terday that the president would be en-
abled to let the senators go home next
week was received with great Joy by those
senators "a large majority who are de-
sirous of leaving Washington and it
seemed the final adjournment could be
had next Thursday or Friday, but the sad
event OF today may cause a postpone
ment.
Said one senator today, 81 don't see how
we can get away next week, The filling
of this vacancy of the supreme bench is an
important matter and the president will
want time to consider it carefully"
Can't it go over until fall?" was asked.
1.-The court has been without the presence
of Justice Matthews for almost a year and
it will shortly adjourn"
"They adjourn" responded the senator,
ito go on their several circuits and it is
thought the services Of associate justices
are in demand for expedition OF business. F"
The succession to the vacancy is already
discussed, there being two programs laid
out by those who talk. One is that Judge
Gresham, now judge of the circuit COM
prisinQ the states of Wisconsin, Illinois
and Indiana, will be nominated for asso-
ciate justice. He would In turn be sue
ceeded by Judge w. A. Woods, leaving a
vacancy to be filled in the district of In
diana. The other program means the
transfer of Attorney General Miller TO the
supreme bench, of Secretary Noble to head
the department of justice and of Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson to the in
terror department.

A PUBLIC BENEFAcroR.

"Who is II. n. Warner, OF Rochester.
N. Y, whose Safe Remedies. especially
Warmers Safe Cure, have attained such
success and celebrity at home and
abroad?"
The question is inspired as much by
affection as curiosity. since through his
instrumentality hundreds of thousands. in
both hemispheres, have been restored to
health and happiness.
Hon. II. II. Warner, then. is leading
and honored resident of Rochester, not
only, but prominent and influential
citizen of the United States. On several
occasions chosen by his party as a Ma
tional delegate to nominate President of
the Republic. he has been member of the
Republican State Committee and of
its Executive Committee. He is q
member Of the American Institution
for the Advancement Of Science:
President of the Rochester
Chamber of Commerce; a successful and
upright business man. He has given
away fortunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory of Roches-
ter was conceived, endowed, and is main
tanned by him. His munificent prizes for
the discovery of comets has been at once
the wonder and delight Of the scientific
world
The yellow fever Scourge in the South.
the Ohio floods, the fire disasters of Roch-
ester and other cities awakened his pro-
foundest sympathies and in each instance
his check for from $500 to s., 900 swelled
the several relief funds. Where other
wealthy men gives tens and hundreds, he
gives hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and mag
nifcent as his enterprises and public spirit
are boundless.
The world has need of more such men.
An incident led him into the manufact-
ure of medicine. Seized some twelve years
ago with what the ablest physicians
termed fatal kidney disease, he was mir
aculously restored to health by what is now
known as Warmers Safe Cure. At once
he resolved to make known the merits of
so potent remedy, and the consequence is
that today he has immense laboratories
and warehouses in the United States, Can
ada, England, Germany, Austria Aus
tralia and Burmah. Sales of his Safe
remedies are enormous, and their power
over disease simply marvellous.
The merit of a production is in exact
keeping with the character of its producer.
An honest and reliable man himself,
Mr. Warner makes honest and reliable
fact abundantly atteSted
by their phenomenal efficacy and popu-
la rity

KILLED BY A POLICEMAN.

HOUSTON, Tex, March 22.-Today Po-
liceman Chas. Richart shot aud killed
VIM Hunter Richart took him to be the
negro who recently broke Jail in Mont
gomery county, and called upon him to
halt so that an examination could be
made, but the negro refused to stop, and
in the chase that ensued the officer was
about to overtake the fugitive, when the
latter turned and began to draw a cotton
hook from behind his back where it was
hung in the waist-band of his pants. As
his coat was raised the officer got a
glimpse of the handle and the leather
glove around it. and believing it to be a
pistol, fired upon him. The second shot
took effect in his knee, cutting the main
artery. He bled to death or so near to it,
before doctors arrived that he died soon
after. Richart was jailed by a deputy
sheriff and will have an examination TO-
morrow.
