1T WAS A BIG METEOR.

At Least the Terrified Citizens of Wash
ingtOn Town Thought So.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, June IT,
Saturday night at 8 o'clock Chimacum,
a small farming center 4 miles from
here, experienced terrific explosion
and jar, the result of the falling of a
5000 pound meteor, which burst with a
loud noise at the height of 100 yards and,
after causing a small sized cyclone of
several minutes duration, buried itself
deep in the muddy water of neigh
boring lagoon. The meteor struck the
bottom with force enough to break
crockery in farm houses 3 miles away,
creating terror among residents, who
believed the end of the world had come.
Ten hours after the occurrence the wa
tiers of the lagoon were still bubbling
and seething, and were found to DO hot
enough to readily cook eggs. Sys-
tematic dragging of the lagoon failed
to bring up any traces of the celestial
messenger, which is believed to be
buried deep in the earth.

ALIEN LARoRERS

empted from the Law.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE promuI.
CATION of treasury department cir
cular, carrying into effect the joint
resolution of congress, exempting from
the operations of the alien contract
labor law all foreigners brought to
this country by foreign exhibitors
or owners of concessions at the Cotton
States exposition at Atlanta, has called
attention to the results of a similar reso-
luton passed on behalf of the Chicago
worlds fair. Both resolutions author
lied such foreigners to remain in this
country one year after the close OF the
exposition, but after the expiration OF
that time, should they still remain In
this country, they were made subject
to all of the processes and penalties
applicable to aliens coming in viola
ton of the alien contract labor law.
In neither case, however, did congress
make any appropriation or provision
for the arrest and deportation of
such persons, and in the case
of the Chicago fair none were
ever apprehended or deported.
The exact number who remained
in the country in violation of the law
is not known, but it is believed that
not more than three-fourths of the
whole number ever returned to the
country whence they came. Owing to
the want of funds, the government
took no steps to ascertain how many
remained, nor are they likely to do so
after the close of the Atlanta exposi-
ton. The necessary result will be that
many foreigners will take this oppor-
tunity to come to the United States
with the intention of remaining, know
ing that congress has made no provision
for their deportation.

scenes presented are exceedingly novel.
Yesterday he married one couple that
had been married nearly sixty years

THE GRAIN OUTLOOK.
Wheat Prospects Better-A Promising Corr
Crnn In View.


Crop in View.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1S.-The up
turn in wheat has eliminated, for the
present, with the publication of the
government crop report. That docu-
ment showed the wheat crop in some
what better condition than it was gen
orally expected to show, but whether
it had done that OF not, the setback in
prices was due because the market had
got to such high level as to afford
little temptation for general specula-
tive buying, and it was inevitable in
such a condition that holders who at
tempted to sell out should find not
much demand for their offerings. Chi
cago prices Saturday were cents IN
der those of a week ago. The Indiana
state authorities make the crop of that
state little over third of that a year
ago. There were reports of damage in
California and of declining prospects in
Russia. The weeks western receipts were
25 per cent less than the preceding
weeks and about 20 per cent. less than
a year ago. The splendid spring wheat
conditions have been factor in reduc-
ing the volume of speculative buying.
Missouri and parts of Illinois have
also had an influence. The fall
ing off in the exports have
checked bullish ardor. Last weeks
shipments were only 60 per cent. of
the preceding weeks and were smaller
than in any week before in nearly four
years. The most important question
of all is whether the government esti-
mates are to catch up with the crop
this year, or whether the final figures
are to be much in excess of the present
indications. Nearly every body ex-
poets bigger crop than the govern
ment figures indicate, because that
has been the record of the past four
years. If everybody were assured that
the United States is to have not over
400, 600, 900 or 100000, 900 bushels OF
wheat this year prices would go cry
much higher than they are now. A
crop of 400, 900, 900 bushels would mean
an exportable surplus of little over
1000, 900 bushels weekly, including the
reserves of old wheat.
In the corn market the influences
have been the decline in wheat, the
favorable crop conditions and the fall
ing off in cash demand. Crop pros
poets could not be better, except in
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. West OF
the Mississippi river rains fell
nearly every day last week and the crop
is we'll advanced. It has three weeks
more growth than at this time last
year Such a start is a good deal of an
assurance that it will escape the Au-
gust drought and mature splendidly.
With such prospect so cents looks
high for corn.

KANSAS TRAGEDY.
Che Horrible Deed of a Cheyenne County
Farmer,

Cho HOrrtDlo Deed OF q Cheyenn0 county
Farmer.
ST. FRANCIS, Kan, June IA hor-
rible tragedy was enacted about 9
miles northeast of ST. Francis Satur-
day. Frank Williams, farmer, at
tempted to murder his wife, Miss Alice
Smith and William Smith, and after
ward beat the brains out of his two
children with Ratchet, little girl
aged about and boy about years,
and then blew his own brains out with
D revolver.
Williams lost his first wife last Sep
TENDER and on May II, 1895, was mar
ried to Mrs. Anna Kennedy, formerly
Miss Dixon, who had lived near by and
who had assisted in his homework for
some time past. Their married life
was very unhappy and after about four
weeks of turmoil the woman left him
and went to live with Mr.. A. Swanson,
neighbor. During the past week, Mr..
Williams went to the house of Swan
son, f1ourished revolver and threat
ened to kill his wife and Mrs. Swanson.
Saturday morning the Swanson fam
lily and Mrs. Williams started to come
to st. Francis for the purpose of having
Williams arrested. On the way they
stopped at the house of George Smith.
While there Williams appeared upon
the scene and proceeded to settle
the differences between himself and
wife by whipping out a revolver and
beginning to fire at everybody in
sight. William Smith was shot through
the cheek, knocking out two teeth
and tearing away portion of the jaw
bone. He was also shot twice in the
back. Miss Smith received bullet in
the breast but fortunately her corset
arrested the bullet and she received
but slight flesh wound. Mrs. Will
Jams, the wife, received bullet in the
mouth, but was not seriously wounded.
Williams then rode home where he
completed the work by smashing the
brains out of his two children with a
Ratchet, and shooting himself through
the head. When the sheriff arrived on
the scene, Williams and the girl were
dead and the boy dying.
