EVERY COUNTY

Oates Majority at Least
10000.

MONTGOMERY. Ala. Aug. 7.-Nearly
every county thus far reported shows a
heavy loss for kolb as compared with
his vote in 1892. Madison county. which
in 1892 went for Kolb by 29S, is given
by official returns to Oates by LAB, a
change of over 1,7O0 votes. Lawrence,
another Tennessee valley county, goes
for kolb by only 1850, as against 2,135
before; Limestone goes for Kolb by 15S.
against 1923 in 1892; Tallapoosa goes
for Kolb by 600. against 2,449
in 1892. In Cherokee his major
ity falls off 800. Crenshaw county
went for Kolb by 772 In 1892. This
year it is very close. Bibb affords the
same comparison. Sumter goes for
Oates by over 1,5O0, Democratic gain
of over 1000, and Macon for Oates by
500. Democratic gain of over 1900.
Henry Oates home county went for
kolb in 1892 by over 1,500. but this year
gives Oates over 500. LII Barbour county
the official Democratic majority has
been Increased. Oates majority will be
close to 10000. The returns indicate
safe Democratic majority in the iegiS
lature, even without Jefferson's delega.

able that it has gone Democratic. The
Democratic state committee aud Col.
Oates, who are here, are jubilant.

The reaction after the opening boom
was assisted by the weather bureaus

The recession in corn after the first
rush upwards was assisted by offerings
by longs to realize the fine profits which
they had in sight and by the Illinois
crop report, which was more favorable

there was any difference, greater than

RAIN IN NEBRASKA.
Showers Make the Crop Prospects
More Hopeful.


OMAHA, Neb.. Aug. 7.-Conditions
are reported from various portions of
Nebraska tonight to be very favorable
to rain, and one shower occurred al
Valentine, Neo. If generous rains can
be secured this week it is estimated
that NebraSka'S corn crop NAV
still average two-thirds of a crop,
and, as the acreage was larger than
usual, 1t will bring it up nearly to the
average. If rain does not fall within
ten days the crop is total failure. The
state has practically had 10 rain since
July 5, the isolated showers which
fell during July having no ap-
preciable effect upon the grow
ing corp. AS a result there is
practically no crop of any descrip-
ton in the western. northern and
northwestern parts of the state. In
half of the counties OF the state the
farmers are compelled to draw upon
the supplies held oyer from last year.
The districts most seriously affected
by the drought are those included in
the counties of Custer, Logan, Grant,
Arthur, Worth. Buffalo, Chase,
Frontier, Deuel., Hayes, Lincoln, Keith
and Cheyenne. These counties are
largely in the northwestern part of the
state, and they are entirely burned out.
In the South Platte counties east of the
center Of the state the crop will average
more than so per cent. In the north
eastern part of the state the conditions
are more favorable,

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 7.-Returns
today from yesterdays election verify
last nights reports and tend to show an
increased majority for the Democrats
over former estimates. Returns. Off
cial and unofficial, but practically
correct in every instance, from
all but eight counties, show an
aggregate majority of $4,000 for
Oates and $4,000 for Kolb, placing
Oates net majority at 2.000. The eight
counties yet to hear from will, il is eX-
pected, increase Oates majority by
1000. LII North Alabama, which was
KolbS stronghold, his aggregate
majority in nineteen counties was
about 1900. as compared to about
5000 for the Democrats in the
several counties in the same section OF
the state, placing Kolb's majority in
North Alabama at 5000. This is over
come III Middle and South Alabama by
majority of nearly $4,000. In North
Alabama the Democrats gained three
members of the legislature in the eoun-

One is that the skirt of the bride was

girdle was self-oiling bicycle chain.

Allotment OF Lands in SeveraIty
Makes Indians Citizens,
Says a Judge.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. z. - Judge
Bellinger today signed an important
decision in the cases of Thomas Hawks
and Edward Klino. charged with selling
liquor to Indians. He decided that the
allotment of lands in Severalty to In
dlans had the effect of removing them
from under the charge of Indian agents
and gave them the standing of Ameri-
can citizens. AS such the United
States laws governing Indian wards of
the government do not apply 10 them,
and the selling of liquor to an Indian
who is not in charge of a United States
Indian agent is not punishable under
the United States statutes. The deci-
sion has precedent, the opinion of
Judge Hanford delivered in an Indian
case of another character in 1892, but it
is the first decision to this effect in a
case directly in point.

CORN GOES UP.

weather bureau showed no signs of re-
lief from the blistering winds that are
sweeping over Western corn fields,
whitening the growth and destroying
the crop. Excited brokers clustered
about the corn pit. eager to buy. At
the tap of the bell wild struggle for
holdings began. Shouts were frantic,
and at every jump in the price, with its
consequent losses TO them.
Fought Fiercely for Cover.
Before 10 o'clock corn had gone up
seven cents In long and sensational
jumps, and wheat, with its heavy load
of bearish influences, had struggled &c
up the scale. The visitors gallery was
soon filled with spectators, who climbed
upon the seats and leaned over the rail-
ings, watching the yelling, hGwling
mob of speculators on the floor. Hold
erS, with visions OF sudden wealth, held
on to their grain until offerings were as
scarce as rain storms; and shorts, with
visions of equally sudden disaster, grew
wilder as the session advanced.
The market, which few weeks ago
apparently had no bottom, now SEEM
ingly had no top, and, passing wheat,
corn continued in an advance that has
seldom been equaled on the Chicago
board for sensational features. The
main bullish features of course were
the hot, dry winds sweeping across the
already parched corn fields; the pub
lished official reports that over large
section of Nebraska the farmers would
not raise enough corn to keep them
from starving, the extremely bullish
Iowa crop report, putting the crop pros
poets even lower than the spectators
had guessed at; and the fact that
corn in Liverpool was reported two.
pence higher.
Tie trading in corn from the start

ever was offered that could he got at,
regardless of previous prices or prices
in other parts of the pit from that in
which each was endeavoring to lift him

his previous sales had plunged
him. As consequence, the open
ing price for September corn was any
where between 54}sc and 5Sc, in different
parts of the pit, against $3.50 at the
close yesterday. and by jumps of halves
and cents the price quickly advanced
to 60c, or 65sc above yesterdays closing
figures. Then 1t as suddenly plunged
down to 5Sc, sold at bound to SOC, then
to 6Oc again. This gait, of course, could
not last indefinitely, and the most urg-
ent of the shorts having waded ashore,
the strain eased somewhat. The price
sank at first by cents and halves, with
an occasional
Slight Reaction,
until at 1880 a. m. it was quoted at
55%c.
May corn opened anywhere from
5oc13 to $3.50 against 1890 at the close
yesterday, and advanced to 5S5sc, or a
clear advance of sc. breaking off later
at 1850. Wheat struggled to keep up
with corn. September opened at $3.50
$3.50, against $3.50 at the close yester-
day, and advanced to 565sc, a gain of
214c over yesterdays figures, and at
1880 q. m. was selling at 551sc056c.
Oats sympathi2ed with the other

wheat was stronger by comparison than
in the early dealings. September ad-

during the opening bulge. and closing
only nc below the top figures. Oats at
the highest showed an advance for Sep
tember of 31]sc over the closing price of
yesterday, and closed &c below the best
figures at 3S1Sc.
As showing the straits to which farm
ers are reduced for corn for their hogs
and other stock. there appeared today
at the board of trade great demand for
low grade wheat to be used for feed.
This demand came from the district
lying within a hundred-mile radius of
Chicago, and some inquiries were also
received from as far away as Iowa.
