Cholera Cure.
SIN Nemaha county, southeastern
Nebraska, said Representative Mercer,
of Omaha, there lives an old farmer
named Rufus Leach. The hog cholera
was raging in the county and Leach's
hogs were dying fast, when along came
smooth-tongued fakir with patent
cholera cure for hogs. He showed
Leach his goods, read him the .direc-
tions on the bottles, and sold him two
or three bottles of the compound for
five dollars.
Three, or four weeks later Farmer
Leach was standing at his gate in the
evening when well-dressed stranger,
who was driving by, hailed him. There
was an air of desolation about the farm,
lull as of death, unrelieved by the
musical bass grunts Of lotof contented
hogs.
"'Good evening, Mr.. Leach called
out the stranger, pulling up at the
gate.
"'Good evening" said Leach.
"'You don't remember me, sse,
said the stranger.
No, not exactly said the farmer.
"T sold you some cholera cure for
your hogs few weeks ago, the stran-
ger explained.
"'0h, you're the man, are you% said
Leach, quietly.
eyes said the fakir, and, by the
way, how did it work.
"'Well, said Leach, in his complacent
style, I don't know that it done any
good, except to make the hogs die a
little easier.'"

that he is Samuel Seoly, the absconding
bookkeeper OF the National Shoe and
Leather Bank. He declined to talk of his
case, but said he was ready to go back to
New York and would make no trouble.
Seeley's remarkable GOODNESS and psr-
sistency in denying his identity had com
pietely bsfficd the detec.ives and they had
determined TO await the arrival OF New
York officers. About noon he asked to
sec the men in charge OF the detective
force. Inspector Eca and Lieutenant Hass
promptly responded. "Be seated, gentle
men," seeley said, as the officers
appeared. "Now gentlemen thank you
Tor your kindness since our meeting last
night. have told you repeatedly that

deception, i had no sleep last night.

"Not a thing. / am ready and willing

any trouble aoout the extradition. so
soon as the proper New York officials
arrive will GO with them"
The prisoner carefully avoided making
any statements about the case.

Review OF Yesterday in Brief.
London prices came in lower, and our
market opened generally heavy in tone,
with another day of excited trading
ia Sugar, but very little do
ing at other points through the list.
Sugar opened lower, but immediately
took sharp spurt on purchases by Potter
q Co. estimated in some quarters as high
as 25,00J harcs which carried the stock
up To 93 before turn came. There
was considerable excited discussion
during the day IN regard TO the
reports of Standard Oil purchases of
Sugar stock, some OF the morning papers
having gone SO far as TO say that
this interest had acquired control OF the
Sugar Refineries Company, but this was
not credited, although 1t appeared
TO be generally conceded that the
Standard Oil people have been IN import
ant factor in the recent speculation.
From 93 there was gradual reaction to
about the opening figures, and in this
movement Moore q schley were reported
TO have sold about the same amount as
had been bought by Potter d. Co. early in
the day.
For the balance of the list the market
was Influenced by the extremely unfavor-
able reports in regard to Erie, and also
by the strength OF sterling exchange
which was thought to indicate
heavy shipments of gold at the end of the
week, but the speculation in Sugar was so
absorbing that fluctuations elsewhere
were unimportant and except in occasional
Cammack selling of the Granger shares
thero were few points OF note in the spec
ulation. Final prices showed losses for
Erie, st. Paul, Jersey Central, Lake Shore,
Northwest and General Electric. Sugar
closed at only small fraction below the
final figures of Saturday.
