Probable Suicide of an Omaha Million
aire at Chicago.
CHICAGO, H., Aug. 20.-The dead
body of Clark Woodman, one OF the
wealthiest citizens of Omaha, Neb., and
an influential director in the I4inseed
Oil Trust, was found this afternoon
in his room at the Grand Pacific
Hotel The general supposition is
that the death was that of a
suicide. The cause for such an act is
still most peculiar mystery, and all
the circumstances do not by any means
confirm the theory of suicide, which is,
which is, however, strengthened by 81
few strange, unexplained facts. Mr..
Woodman arrived at the Grand Pacific
late last Monday night. No one in the
office remembers seeing him after he
retired to his room at that time.
On Wednesday evening the cham
bermaid entered the room az
found him lying across the. bed
fully dressed with the exception OF
his coat. Hearing the sound of his
breathing she supposed that he was
merely sleeping. She did not re-enter
the room until this afternoon. She
found the body still in the same posi-
ton but the face was horribly discol-
ored and the odor of the room Indicated
DEATH Dr. r. w. Steger was at once
summoned and found that such was the
case. The condition Of the, body made
plain that he was breathing his last

A Substitute for Wheat.

Mixed rye and wheat -four was offered
for the first time on the Berlin Produce
EXCHANGE on the 18th in large quantl-
ties. The mixture is much cheaper
than pure rye -four. The recent ad-
vance in cereals was lost on the news that
the government would purchase wheat
meal for the army, and that immense
contracts had been concluded with
American grain dealers. Feverish ac-
tivity prevails in the shipping OF rye
to all Russian ports. Eight thousand
tons have left St. Petersburg in eight
DAYS. 1t is reported that further large
shipments will be made on ,4 orders from
the German government. The German

upon corn to two-thirds instead OF one
half of its value IN order to facilitate

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 21.-The Post
Dispatch this afternoon says that q
scheme is on foot by which the militia

officers of the regular army at the en-
campment of the state militia at Camp
Wickham the other day, and circulars
and personal letters concerning it ere

country.
1t is the most radical plan to change
the condition of the militia of the coun
try that has risen since the war. The

thing must be done to dignity the militia
forces of this country. Steps were at
once taken to bring about the change
recommended, and will be successfully
carried out.
The constitution Of the Association
Of the National Guards of the United
States" as the organization is known,
provides that the national guards OF the
various states are to be enrolled in the

ward TO the secretary of war the appli-
cation of any company of not less than
sixty men who desire to join the asso-
citation. Each cavalry troop will be paid
5000 the first year it is organized and
1000 for subsequent years. The artll-
lerv receives the same. The infantry
companies get 81 900 each.
Lieuts. Evans and Batcheler said the
organization was to be effected by bill
which Congress was to be asked to pass
at the coming session. Petitions are
being gotten up in all states, and tie
