wANAMAkER is ALL RIGHT.
No Foundations for the Rumors Affecting
the Postmaster Gen erals Credit

the postmaster Gen erals Credit.
WAsHrNaToN, Dec. 10. O.--Postmaster-
General Wanamaker got In from Phiia-
delphia late yesterday afternoon and
found rumor awaiting him at the de-
pot IL was TO the effect that Counsel
man Il Co. In Chicago had posted no
tlce that he was expected To fall,
II know nothing OF II" was Mr.. wan
amaker's terse comment, and hc did not
care TO enter moro fully into the discus
sion OF the rumors set ahoat. friend
who enjoys the postmaster generals con
fidence said:
II have no doubt that these reports
cause Mr.. Wanamaker annoyance, but
he does not dignity them by denial, be-
cause II he once entered into a discus
sion of his private business affairs there
would be no end TO Jit. This rumor
comes from the west. Mr.. Wanamaker's
business Is not In the west; his financial
interests are not there. Doesn't IL look
little as though somebody was operat-
ing from q distance, sending reports To
Chicago to be- telegraphed back east?'
Ii Is no secret among Mr.. Wana-
makers friends that he looks upon the
attacks on his credit as of personal
nature. Notwithstanding Jay Gould's
disclaimer, the belief obtains that the
postmaster-general's discipitning OF the
Western Union In the matter OF over
charging and his advocacy of the postal
telegraphy were at the bottom OF the
first assault on his credit, while the
Louisiana lottery likewise took hand.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IO.-Postmaster
John Field, who is close friend of John
Wanamaker, said to-day when told OF
the rumor abont Wanamaker: There
Is no truth I'm the story. John Wana-
maker has paid US young, Smith. Field
& Co.. his November bill In cash and Sc
cured the discount He expects 70 take
In at his store at least 500, 900 per day
from now until Christmas. ! can assure
you there Is no truth In the story"
Other prominent business men say that
Wanamaker is all right.

SIOUX FALLS, Dec. 1O.--A hard story
which puts DIR. &. i. Bissell, Of Valley
Springs, into very tight place comes
from that town. At $3.50 yesterday a
dispatch was received To the effect that
Ben Scheffer, a harnessmaker OF Valley
Springs, died suddenly there at O O'Clock.
A reporter soon after met Joseph Parish,
OF Valley Springs. He had arrived from
that place on the morning train and Is
authority for the following statement
Parish was going past SchefIer's shop
at $40 yesterday morning on the way TO
the depot, when Blssell came 10 the door
hurriedly and called him In. Bissell
said he wanted Parish to see Schetfcr,
who was asleep" and would not waken.
Parish went 10 Scheffer and found him
breathing I'm hard, short breaths, and
apparently dying.
Parish.
oh" said Blssell, ''hc said couldn't
put him TO sleep, and / said would or
else kill him. | gave him a HI of u
dose of morphine and you can see I've
got the old man laid out. He said
couldn't put him to sleep, but did"
Parish tried to awaken SchefEer, but
there was no sign Of life except the
heavy breathing and an occasional moan.
"My God" said Parish, "Schefter Is
dying" and with that he left the shop
to call help. Help arrived aud the dy-
ing man was worked over until 6 o'clock.
when the slow breathing stepped and the
man was dead.
Coroner Roberts was telographed for,
but could not go and a Valley Springs
justice was delegated 20 act In that ca
pacity. At O'clock yesterday after
noon States Attorney r. ID. Bailey was
informed that he was wanted at the in
quest. After the grand jury reported,
instead OF being discharged, as was ex-
pected would be the case, Foreman
Wheeler informed the court that there
was more business before the jury, and

The Only Corn Palace.

This is an age of Mechanical and
Industrial Palaces. Texas has her
Spring Palace, Louisiana her Cotton
Palace, Ottumwa her Coal Palace,
St. Paul her Ice Palace, and Colo
RADIO her Mineral Palace, but the
credit of conceiving and carrying
out the idea of a Corn Palace, must
forever be accredited to the gener-
Gus, far-sighted, enterprising and
plucky citizens Of Sioux City, Iowa.
With them, no elevated railroad is
too high, no cable line too long, no
packing house too large, no opera
house too grand, no business block
too fine and no Corn Palace too
magnificent for them to build. Their
vim and business-like ways, com
mand the worlds admiration, and on
the 18TH of September they will open
the 18th annual Corn Palace. larger
and more beautiful than any that
have preceded it. The mammoth
array of exhibits will come from
every direction. The farms, the
mines, the manufactures, with all
their diversified products, will be
largely represented. The most ar
tistic designs in corn will decorate
the exterior and interior of the great
Palace. The parades will eclipse
anything Of the kind ever seen in
this country, outside of New Or
leans The music will be grand. and
every feature Of this wonderful ex-
position, combining pleasure with
profit, only tends to inspire US with
love for the great Northwest, of
which Sioux City is now and ever
will be the Commercial Metropolis.
TO this gathering the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad will make a rate of one
fare for the round trip, from all of
its Illinois and Wisconsin points.
Tickets will be on sale Sept. 23d,
