tsrday, wheat opened strong this morn
ing. with net gain of "a of cent 7 81
bushel over night. and went to 60s8 II
ten minutes on short covering by local
short, whose margin was expiring.
Partridge bought about three million
bushels this morning, Cables were
stronger, cash demand good, and clear
ances very fair. and late reports from
New York say that twenty boat loads
have been engaged since the market
closed. Receipts at Chicago were under
the estimate, and only about half
as many cars were received in the
northwest as was reported from there
yesterday. Shrewd and conservative
traders who have been waiting for rock
bottom on this grain are now buying
wheat on all breaks, aud this inspires
confidence, and builish sentiment is
rapidly gaining ground. There is an
immense short interest in wheat which
will have to be covered sooner or later,
and when this short covering commences
there will be some fun for the bulls.
Wheat is entirely too low and should
be bought around these prices and held
for a good advance. It is relatively
cheaper around 60c under present condl-
tions than it was around 55c last spring
just before the big advance. aud the
market is in the same condition-every-
body had 1t sold short just because It IS
human nature to turn bear at the bottom
of the big decline and sell it short on all
rallies Outside demand is improving
| rapidly and a good inquiry at the
seaboard. About the noon hour when
December wheat was 59s5, local short
attempted TO cover a little short wheat,
he advanced the market TO 63M in less
than ten minutes. At this price great
! many timid longs, assisted by privilege
holders, sold lot and the market eased
off a little. Buy wheat on all weak
spots.
Corn and oats were strong in sympa-
| thy with wheat; cash demand good.
| Professionalism with a small amount
| of business done. January pork looks
like a purchase to the extent of a bar
gain, and we advise buying it on all
breaks. Some day will add So barrel
| to the price of pork.

The Harmony" Which Prevails
Among Chicago Republicans.
Swift and Anti-Swift Factions
Fight Furiously.
ONE NOSE BROKEN.
Another Man Cracked Over the
Head With a Stick.
Hang Him." Throw Him OUT
Frequent Expressions.

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-A meeting of the
Republican county central committee
was held at the Great Northern hotel
last n ght for the purpose OF choosing a
chairman. For some time there has been
friction between the politicians support
ing the administration of Mayor Swift,
and others who are against him. Incl
dental to the work of choosing the chair
man, it was intended that the factions
should get together" 10 harmony.
They got together all right, but not
after the fashion outlined in the pro-
gramme. There we're fights without
number, broken heads and bloody noses,
and the meeting generally was charac-
terized by the widest disorder. The
first fight of the evening occurred when
Deputy William Goodman, of the
anti-Swif faction, attempted to force
his way into the room against the wishes
of Buck Mccarthy. a Swift man.
Mccarthy landed on GOndman's nose.
broke it in two places dashed out five
of GOOdman's teeth and knocked him
senseless The deputy sheriff was car
ried away by his friends. Detective
Sergeant Gard, who was in the room,
made an attempt to control the actions
of County Clerk James r. Van Cleave,
and the second battle of the evening was
on.
Van CIeave objected to the officers
interference, and promptly received a
crack over the Uranium from the Off
GERS stick. This rouse Van Cleave's
friends, and wild rush was made for
Gard. one man Selling him by the neck,
others by the arms and legs. He was
carried bodily from the room, every anti
Swift man within reach taking u good
hard whack at him. As Gard was de-
posted in the hall, Alderman Henry
hammers maneuvred in his rear and
planted a vigorous kick. Another rush
was made for Gard and he was thrown
bodily out of the hallway, a free fight
being in progress while he made his
forced exit.
Commissioner of Public Works Kent
was standing in the committee room
when this fight came of, and the asser-
ton was at once made by the anti-Swift
element that he had brought the police
there to coerce the action of the commit
tee.
Loud cries were heard of "Throw
Kent out" "Hang him." and Throw him
out of the window" A rush was
made in his direction. and being near
g doorway the commissioner lost no
time in making his escape, leaving
behind him a full blown fight between
his friends, anxious to protect him, and
the crowd of anti-Swift men DESTROYS of
getting at him.
Several more fights occurred during
the meeting, which finally adjourned
without result save the appointment of a
Harmony" committee, which will en-
deavor to reconcile the two factions.

coNeoRDIA CAMPAIGN MONEY CASE
Colonel Choate Was Paid Sufficiently for
Getting Out of the Way.

CoNCoRDIA, Sept. 18-The case of
Colonel Choate of Washington. the re-
cent Populist. convert from the ranks of
Bourbon Democracy. against Postmaster
Pepperell on note of 500, was tried be-
fore Justice Sheafor, and the judge de-
cided Choate had received all that was
due him, and therefore had no cause for
action.
[. j. Grams appeared for Choate and J.
". Sheafor of this city and Lawyer Ham
ilton of Washington for Pepperell.
Choate was a candidate for postmaster
at Washington and contributed heavily
to support the Democratic machine while
he supposed it was grinding out grist
for him.
At length a conflict arose and the col
onel saw that he couldn't be successful,
and he agreed to get out of the way of
the other man, if the other man, ODER,
would refund all he had paid out for
campaign purposes. Ober agreed to it.,
and as it is claimed by himself, by Col
lector Tom Dolan. who was chief manip-
ulator, and by Pepperell, he paid it all,
including $50 for which Choate held
PepperelPs note.
Colonel Choate denies that the note
was included, and as he still held it he
brought suit on it.
