Stealing Horses SSD0lnbaskogee.

Special 70 tht GIZtLtt-
MUsKoGEE, l. T.. June 22.-During the
past few days five horses have been stolen
near this place A number of suspicious
characters are missed from their haunts,
and it is believed there is a well organized
gang along the river who steal horses, run
them to the states and return with whisky,
which they peddle at leisure. This un-
usual activity among thieves is probably
owing to the attention of many officers being
directed to the Chickasaw country and the
removal of intruders.
An abundance of rain has fallen The
corn is immense, and with no more rain a
fair yield is insured. Cotton never looked
better, and fruit of all kinds is fine and
crops abundant. A wind storm passed east
of US Saturday night, doing some injury to
crops and uprooting quantities of timber.

LONDON, June 22.-Secretary of state for
war; Rt. Hon. Edward Stanhope, in the
house of commons to-day, replying to a
question put to the government by Henry
Peyton Cobb (Radical and nonconformist),
member of Rugby division, of Warwick
shire, said that he would consider whether
the request for three years return of the
Names etc. of all non-commissioned officers
and privates in the British admiralty who
had been punished or who had been reduced
to the ranks for conniving at card playing

card playing or gambling, could be granted.

necessity for an order calling the attention
of the commanding officer to the army regu-
lations in regard to gambling, as he did not
believe that these regulations had been
broken

are still running in excess of exports,
creating an adverse balance: but the proDa-
bility is that this winnbe settled later on IN
other ways than by gold shipments, though
should further amounts leave, no concern
need be felt unless they reach much larger
figures than now seem possible. In The
event of additional shipments of the pre-
cious metal, 1t will be due to the fact that
we have, as usual, but little else TO send
forward at this season of the year. II IS
the period between hay and grass, as it
We're, in our crops.
The wheat and corn crops are far the
most important of any single influence af-
fecting the future of stocks. Indications
suggest the possibility of the largest wheat
crop on record, estimates varying from 500
to $50 million bushels. These figures should
leave surplus of about one hundred and
eighty to two hundred million bushels for
export. If prices only afford a reasonable
profit to growers, and the shortage in Eu-
rope renders it likely that they will, it is
easy to see the effect of such a harvest, not
only upon the interior. but upon the trade,
railroad and financial interests of the whole
country. Europe will have to take our
wheat and pay US in gold. Our securities
will become intrinSically better in the opin-
ion Of both home and foreign holders. In
short, should present hopes concerning the
harvest be realized, it would impart de-
gree of prosperity such as has not been
seen for several years past. However, it
will not do to discount such hopes too rap
idly. The crops are not yet beyond danger
Prudent men will therefore keep close
watch on crop news for the next few weeks
and act accordingly. There will be nothing
to fear in the foreign situation for some
months to come. July disbursements are
close at hand, and an investment demand
of some Importance is usually experienced
for stocks during that month. Our opin-
ion regarding the immediate future is hope
full. and favorable to moderate improve
ment in the business conditions. Comfort
able money, moderate prices for stocks and
good crops are sufficient to counterbalance
all the weak points discoverable at this
time

Jail made an unsuccessful attempt to break
out late Saturday evening. The prisoners
have been allowed to stay in the corridor in

in their cells for the night he found that
they had broken the brake on the door and
had also broken several bars, making a
space almost large enough for man to
crawl through, and would doubtless have
gained their liberty in short time. There
are only five prisoners in the Jail now.
John Sherwood, who is under a thirty
years. sentence for murder; ]. P Robson,
under sentence OF two years for an assault
to murder; George Mcmillan, charged with
burglary and theft of mules; John Nc

Mcmillan and Mcdaniel were implicated in
the mischief, and that the other prisoners
had nothing whatever to do with it.
