COUNTRY BUYERS QUIT
And in Consequence the Price Of
September Cork Took a
Drop.
THOUGHT IT HIGH ENOUGH.
Corn Is King However, and Other
Cereals Merely Fluctuate in
Sympathy.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Grains opened
excited and higher again, but the fuctu-
ations in the early trading were not SO
wildly erratic. The dominant feature
is still the corn crop situation, and other
cereals merely fuctuate in sympathy
with corn. Country buying orders con-
tinue to push prices up. The givers of
these orders are in the midst of the corn
belt, know the situation at first hand,
and the weather has been kind to them.
The local professional traders have been
fighting the advance for the past 10
days, feeling assured that rain must
come berore the absolute ruin of the
crop occurred. A single general rain,
which past experience made very
strong probability, would have reversed
the conditions at any time within the
past two weeks; but, instead Of rains,
there were hot winds, and the result has
been that the country speculators have
been making money hand over fist,
while the city speculators who have
learned to be chary Of "crop scares, -
have been losing it as fast.
AAAuh LEACeS AOO
Local traders feel that prices for grain,
especially corn, are perilously high; that
in fact they are top heavy, and that
anything like general rain within the
next few days would cause a slump in
values. The country speculator, how
ever, continues to look at the brown
fields and the blue sky, and then tele.
graphs his broker to double his buying
orders. This, with the bullish state crop
reports, the continued high tempera.
lures, scorching winds and lack
of rain throughout the corn belt;
together with strong cables, were the
bullish influences at work when the
market opened.
September corn started at 6OAc, but
on heavy offerings by local traders broke
at once to 5S19c; then rallied to SOC, but
reacted to 5514c; but doomed again tc
$3.50, off to 561ac, and back to 571ac.
Country Orders Stopped.
The sudden slump in corn soon after
the opening was due to the giving out
of country buying orders; execution Of
country ''stop loss'' orders which were
placed at about 1c below the opening
price, and which were reached through
heavy sales by local dealers. The coun.
try has evidently come to the conclu
sion that corn is high enough for the
present, and the buying orders which
have so far doomed the market, failed
altogether soon after the opening.

st. Paul and Minneapolis, headed by
Mr.. Pierce Of the latter city, appeared
before Governor Nelson in behalf of the
late striking employees of the Great

woke the aid Of the governor in that be-
half. The governor replied that he
would act as an individual-not as gov
ernor-in their interests. The railroads,
he said, had fought their battles with
out aid from the state, hence owed moth
ing to the state in the matter.

Some Hope For a Fair Crop.

OMAHA, Aug. 9.-Conditions reported
from various portions Of Nebraska are
very favorable to rain and one shower
occurred at Valentine. If generous
rains can be secured this week it is esti-
mated that Nebraska's corn crop may
still average two-thirds of a crop, and as
the acreage was larger than usual it will
bring it up nearly to the average.

laughter, or the expression of sinful
merriment. Solomon was very quick at
smile When he makes a comparison,
we all catch it, What is the laughter of
a fool like? He says, ut is the crac-
king of thorns under pot. " The kettle
is swung, "a bunch of brambles is put

JOSEPH E. WASHINGTON, Josiah Patterson and Thomas c. Catchings supported the Democratic admins tration at Washington during the recent sessions of Congress and all of them have been returned by over whelming majorities. Had Clifton Breckinridge returned to his dis trict and contested for renomina- tion he would have been returned by phenominal maiority.-Helena World.
 Had Mr. Breckinridge been able to make a personal canvass of his district and frankly explain his req son and motives for voting with the Administration on the Sherman re. peal bill, as Josiah Patterson did in the Tenth Tennessee district, he would have been unquestionably re- turned to Congress. Clifton R. Breckinridge is the only Southern Congressman who voted with the Administration on the repeal bill that was turned down. This shows that the people in the South are for. sound money and Democratic har- mony.

which a national Republican cem paign could not be undertaken Once understood that there is to be no more high protection, and the Republican campaign committees would whistle for their poodle. Brass bands, fireworks and torch light processions will not be brought out merely to emphasize resolu tion condemning the Democratic party. Contributions will be made for election results only. No timid ICulloms or Ailisons will do for the big trust. They must have man like Mckinley who means something of and by himself.
 Not so the mercantile and general business interests. These are afraid of Mckinley Whilst they might not object to some amend ment to the new tariff law by sepa- rate acts in the direction of more free raw materials, they dread a general reopening of the tariff agi- tation, and so does everybody ex- cept the Republicans. As a rule, Democrats will be satisfied for some Iyears with the present schedules, which are just beginning to produce the gratifyingresults expected.
 Mckinley, then, is doing good work for the Democracy. He is the apostle of continued war on the peo- pie on behalf of the monopolists. No longer dangerous to the Democratic party, he makes splendid wedge in the creviees of the Republican or ganization, and we hope he will split 1t wide open.

IF ADVERTYsEs THE TOWN.

The man who hopes to have his own town obtain permanent pros perity will patronize his home paper. That paper is generally accepted as reflecting the character of the town. Enterprising people cannot afford to be misrepresented by a sheet that is an aggregation of typograph- ical errors and dead medicine ads. The paper that is well supplied with fresh local advertising will very readily improve it's columns of read ing matter. A good local newspa- per is the best advertisement that a town may have. The community that keeps it's editor well fed will find that the investment is better than government bonds. Omaha W0rld Hsrold.

 In Virginia.
THE EXPRESS GAR DYNAMITED

Entering the Express Car tho Messenger
 Is Made to Open the Safe at the Point
 of Guns-Amount Taken Estimated at
 s15,O00- Wreck the Engine and
 Make Their Escape.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The train which was held up at Quantico, Va, was the special from Jacksonville to New York. Only few passengers stopped off when the train reached this city, the remainder going north. The following facts in regard to the holdup were obtained from the baggagemaster of the train:
 It is customary for all trains to stop at Acqua creek. several miles below Quantico for water. The train was 200 or 300 yards this side of the crock, at 9:i6 o'clock Friday night, when the engineer got signal to stop. The porter went forward to see what had caused the signal and was confronted by the robbers, who had given the signal. There were seven or eight of them.
 As soon as the engineer had stopped they walked back towards the train and commenced to fire their weapons, at the same time warning everybody to keep inside the cars. A number of shots were fired, but by chance no one was hurt, for by this time the passengers had be- come excited by the firing and some of the more daring ones threw open the windows to learn the cause of the firing, but on seeing masked men they became aware that the train had been held up by desperate men and quickly sought cover.
 The robbers by their bold course thus intimidated the train crew and then quickly boarded the express car. They found the door tightly barred and were unable to force an entrance by per- suasion. Their time was precious and they were well fixed to do their work rapidly, as they were we'll supplied with dynamite, and by it's use the express car door was shattered and an entrance gained.
 The messenger was in the car at the time and they told him they would shoot him if he did not open the door to the safe. The messenger appreciated the fact that he WAS in the hands of desperate men, and after demurring he obeyed their demands and opened the safe.
 The men got every cent of money that was in the car. No one knows just how much the safe contained, but one of the employees said he thought it would probably amount to $l5,000.
 After Iootiug the car of all the money the robbers uneoupled the engine from the train and ran it several miles up the road until coal chute was reached, where it was wrecked The train was left standing until an engine was brought on from Quantico. The train remained at the scene of the robbery fully two and half, hours and arrived here at 1;99 o'clock this morning.
 The door of the express car showed evidence of the dynamite and all the glass panes in it were shattered. It was, however, allowed to proceed to New York, and the expressman, Crutch- field, who was in charge, accompanied it.
 The robbers escaped with their booty and have not been apprehended. It is thought the men escaped across the Pc. tomac river to the Maryland side.

SECURED FIFTY THOUSAND.
That Is the Amount the Robbers He
 alized In California.

That Is the Amount the Robbers He- alized In California. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 15.--It is now set tied that over $50,000 was the value of the booty secured by the two train rob bers who held up the Central overland train between this city and Dayisville. Wells, Fargo $ Co. and the Southern Pacific railroad recognize the fact they have no ordinary criminals to deal with, consequently are exerting every effort to run down the men.
 The two corporations have offered a reward of $9500 for each robber. and 5000 for recovery of the coin. This is in addition to the usual state reward. Rewards are sufficiently large to put the most skilled detectives and brayest of officers on the trail. As yet, however, the robbers are free.
 They secured four fat sacks of coin, three full of gold and one of silver. Two contained $20, 900 each, in the third was $10, 900 and the sack of silver contained between 5000 and 5000.
 Detectives are working on three dif- ferent theories. All these agree that the men were ex-employes of the Southern Pacific and reside in this city. One of the theories Is that the robbers buried the money, and, after disposing of their arms, masks, etc., crossed into sacra- mento. Others claim the money was buried where the engine was reversed, and the robbers crossed to Sacramento. Another theory is that the men had buggy standing near. into which they loaded the money, and drove to where their eonfederates awaited their arrival with a boat. Wheel traces confirm
