PECULIAR FREAK.
A Corn Cob Which Looks Like Mans
Hand-AImost Perfect

Mr.. 6. L. Miller has recently gather
ed from his garden most remarkable
freak of nature in the way of roast
ing ear. When the corn had been
clipped from 1t, there was revealed an
almost perfect imitation of a human
hand and wrist. The only defect
about it is a slight deformity about
one or two of the fingers. 1t is so
near perfect that 1t has even the nails
on the ends of the fingers.
a peculiar thing about it is that it
has the power of representing either
hand. Looking into the palm 1t is a
left hand, but when reversed it is a
right. Nothing of the kind has ever
before been seen '"in these parts. :"
Mr. Miller has the cob on exhibition
at his mill office.

like 800, 000. GOO bushels of corn, and this loss consumers have to share through the advance of II 1-4 cents in the two. weeks, and cents since Friday of last week. Neither official nor un- official statements as yet preclude the hope that the loss may prove less seri- ous, but at current prices 1,5o0, GOO, 000 bushels would cost as much as 2, GOO, GOO would have cost a fortnight ago.
 Wheat has risen 84 cents in the fort night, and q cents during the week, al- though western receipts have been ,. 223, 198 bushels, against 3,169, ,694 last year.
 Pork products are little stronger, as is natural.
 Cotton has risen twice and again de clined 1-t6c. with increasing p ospects of very large yield, closing ithout change for the week.
 The iron and steel manufacture re- cords great increase of nearly 30, GOO tons in weekly output. and the produc- tion is 115, 3o8 tons weekly, about II, GOO tons less than i'll April, but 5000 tons more than year ago, when the pros tration had nearly reached its worst. The decrease in unsold stocks was only 6167 for the month, showing 8 consump- tion i'll manufactures not quite equal to the present output.
 The business in boots and shoes is strong and healthy, though conspicu- ously confined to medium and low priced articles, such as 75-eent shoes for men and 55 to 60 cents for women's wear, but shipments from Boston have been in two weeks 166, 493 cases against 122 ,826 last year.
 The sales of wool would have been larger, according to reports from the different markets. if there had been suf- fcient stocks available, but it amounted to 7,e23, 400 pounds at the three eastern markets against 9,220, roo pounds two years ago. Country holders of wool appear anxious to let somebody else speculate on it's price and are said to be keeping back supplies quite generally, although receipts at Chicago were 4, O60,- 051 pounds for the week against 1.127,- 099 pounds for the same week last year.
 The failures for the five weeks ending Aug. 1 show liabilities of $11, LA, 713, of which So, 626 594 were of manufacturing and $5, ,220, 247 of trading concerns.
 The failures during the past week have been 251 in the United States, against S94 last year, and 54 in Canada against 25 last year.

 LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 13.-Charles Con way, alias Shorty, wanted i'll Little Rock and elsewhere for nearly all the crimes in the criminal calendar. is now supposed to be communing with Dame Nature in the wilds of Johnson county somewhere in the vicinity of Coal Hills He escaped from Deputy United States Marshal White of Little Rock at Coal Hill while being brought to Little Rock by that officer.
 When the engine whistled for Coal Hill station Conway, who was sitting opposite the deputy in the coach, poked his head out of the window. The dep uty did the same and then turned his head to the other side as the station was on the left While in this position Conway, who was heavily shackled at his ankles, saw his first opportunity, and he made one Iunge, jumping headlong through the open window. There was a long line of freight cars on the side track, and before the deputy could get outside he had escaped in the darkness. Conway must have had terrible fall. As he struck the ground he was heard to groan as if badly hurt.
