Nathan D. Thompson against
Albina Goodspeed to recover s., 122, the
cost of campaign book containing the
lives of the late James G. Blaine and
John A. Logan. issued during the presi-
dental campaign.
The defense was that the work was de-
fective and erroneous in many respects:
Among other pecullarities of the work,
one plate represented Blaine a
ragged boy kneeling by the bedside
of his dying mother. Blaine was Al
years old when his mother died.
A poem on Logan, occupying eight
pages of the work, and a chapter con-
tanning Garfeld's letter of acceptance
we're alleged by the defendant
not to be pertinent to the
character of the work as advertised. The
grammatical construction of many of the
sentences, and number of mispelled
words were also complained of by the
defendant

TROOPS STILL ON DUTY.
No Further Violence Has Taken Place at
New Orleans.

New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, March 15.-The scene
along the levee today is one of bustling
activity. Nearly every ship in port which
came for the purpose of receiving car
goes of cotton, is now being loaded. In
fact it is not known that work is at a
standstill on any vessel.
Nothing occurred last night to disturb
the peace of the city. The rioters re-
manned away from the levee and the
night passed without one exciting in
cident.
Today 300 negroes wanted to go to
work, but were afraid to do SO without
being protected AS soon as the
soldiers made their appearance on the
wharf, the negroes threw off their coats
and ten minutes later cotton was being
stored on the Engineer, the English
steamer. No opposition was made by
the dozen or more white screwmen who
hung around.
Governor Foster was interviewed this
morning by an Associated Press reporter
He stated that he would keep the mill
tary on the river until all signs of dan
ger had passed away.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Exchange. Real Estate Building.
WHEAT: AS predicted in our letter of
yesterday, wheat opened strong and ex-
cited with an advance of nc over night
Partridge attempted to cover a line of
short wheat this morning at the opening.
but found none for sale, causing the May
option to sell at 5Sc in a few seconds. At
So big line of long stuff was dumped on
the market and shorts took advantage of
this to let the market ease
off much as possible. Cables came
stronger and there was better cash de-
mand. there has been nothing but
bull news for the-past few weeks, and it
has been of such nature that the mar
ket should have had twice the advance
it has had. The bears have been work
ing hard to prevent any advance, but the
market is gradually getting away from
their grip, and they will soon be run
ming for tall timber. They will have
hard time trying to cover their short
lines. The market is strong and in
good shape for good substantial ad-
vance. The price is 10c too low to cor
respond with crop conditions and the
situation in general. We look for better
prices and advise buying on any decline.
CORN-Opened strong with an advance
of 3ac over night, and remained quiet
but firm all day, easing off slightly
toward the closing, caused by heavy
realizing by timid bulls, who got fright
ened every time anything showed the
least sign of weakness. Corn is adj
vancing to Zoe, slew but sure.
Oats were quiet but very firm all day
and closed strong.
Provisions are a good thing.
We predicted much higher prices soon
as the heavy run of hogs began to let up
and the market has promptly vindicated
our judgment
Receipts of hogs are falling off and
pork steadily advancing.
The packers, led by Armour, are buy
| ing everything in provisions every time
they show any symptoms of any weak
ness, and there is no pork for sale ex
cept to take profits.
Buy pork on weak spots.

the body of Percheron.
The water where the body was found
is little over five feet deep and the dead
man was standing almost erect Judge
Goss empaneled jury and as no traces
of violence could be found on the body

ed from accidental drowning.

EUDORA, March TO- = Probably the
Oldest structure in or about Eudora was
destroyed last week when Albert Won
Guntcn tore down thesoid Roper dwelling
house, on the south edge of town, to re-
place it with handsome story and half
modern building Away long in the early
5Vs, when Kansas City was about the
size of Eudora now, this building was
the first stopping place out of Independ-
ence, Mo. on the old Santa Fe trail, and
was under the management of Paschal
Fish, an Indian, from whom, some years
later, the present TOWNSHIP of Eudora was
purchased.
With the advent of the railroad and
the abandonment OF the overland stage,
the usefulness of the inn was destroyed,
and for many years it has been occupied
as dwelling house by different parties.
The building originally was constructed
from native timber.

CAN'T BORROW EASILY.
There Might be Difficulty in China secur-
ing Large Loan.

NEW YORK, March ia special to
the W orld from London says:
London financial circles are much in
terested in the question of the floating of
the Chinese loan, if the negotiations for
peace depend upon China paying heavy
indemnify to Japan.
The last Chinese loan was almost an
absolute failure on the London and con-
tinental markets. although it was guar
anteed by the custom duties at the treaty
ports. The reports of the Rothschilds
and other large firms here said tonight
that no proposition has been received
yet from China for an indemnity loan.
If it is very large there certainly will
be great difficulty in negotiating it.
There would be less difficulty if Japan
should occupy Picking and administer
the affairs of the Celestial empire.

Hixon, the saloon-keeper "But," the
Giornale adds, 'that does not justify the
summary lynching of six prisoners. The
Importance of the law is nevertheless
evident, and it is to be hoped that the
United States will act firmly and rapidly,
Furnishing the guilty and give satisfac-
ton to Italy"
