FARMERS HOLDING WHEAT
They Are Undoubtedly Keeping It Back
for Better Prices.

MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 14-There is no
doubt that Northwestern farmers are
holding back their wheat on account of
low prices, and marketing their coarse
grain instead. For several days past tie
receipts of wheat in this market have
fallen below those of last year. Re-
ceivers say that offerings are daily
growing lighter. aud daily sales here
support the statement.
On the other hand there has been
more than corresponding increase in
coarse grains, though of course the daily
reports of car inspection do not show as
large a total for all grain receipts.
OF course it is not reasonable to follow
that the wheat movement will continue
relatively small for any length of time.
Farmers who are averse to selling their
wheat for ruling prices and have coarse
grains to sell, will send the latter to
market now and hold the wheat for the
reason that the coarse grains command
relatively much higher values in this
market than wheat

CLEyELAND'S ESCORT.
A Quarrel Among Georgia Military Com
panies Over W hich Snail Serve.

ATLANTA, Oct. I4.-The announcement
was made this afternoon by Col. John S.
Gambler, the senior colonel of the Georgia
volunteers, that no company of the regu-
lar national guard will consent to
parade on presidents day at the ex-
position October %. The reason for this
is that the exposition have placed the
parade in charge of Captain ]. F. Burke
of the Gate City guards, an organization
which is not enlisted in the state ser
vice, does not wear the regulation state
uniform. and is not under officers com
missioned by any state authority.
Colonel Gambler is one of the most
prominent Cleveland Democrats in Geor-
gia. but it is understood that this will
not prevent his insisting on the strict OBJ
servauce of the military law of the state.
The regular militia are with Colonel
Gambler, and the indications are that the
presidents escort will be confined to a
single company

DROUTH CONTINUES.
Great Damage Done to Manufactories in
Western Pennsylvhnia.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 14-The drouth
in this section continues. There was some
rain on Saturday, but it was so light that
it gave no relief. The present extreme
ly low water in the river is
causing a vast amount of damage to the
industrial establishments in the Monon-
gahela river. At the Edgar Thomson
Steel works at Braddock, the Carnegie
Steel company has been damaged to the
extent of several thousand dollars.
The same condition prevails at Home
stead, Soho, South Side and McKeesport
plants. The chemists at the Edgar
Thomson plant on Saturday analyzed
the water of the river They found
fifteen grains of sulphuirc acid
in gallon of water. The water
of Turtle creek was also analysed and
found to contain three times as much, or
enough to kill any animal that drinks it.
The steel companies, to prevent corro-
sion of the boilers, this week
began to put soda in the
reservoir pipes. This neutralizes
the acid but has tendency to clog up
the pipes. The Monongahela water is
used by all the people Of the large bor-
oughs up the valley and serious results
are feared

can be frozen out? Yours truly.

A Santa Fe Office Clerk Left Holding the
bag for Snipes.
There is hardly man young or old
who has not heard of the old aud thread
bare story about how a man is induced
to go out to some lonely place and pa
tlently hold bag to catch snipes while
his companions, whom he supposes are
busy driving them toward him, make
theiE way home and leave him to his
fate.
In spite of that fact, young man
who is employed in the Santa Fe Offices
went "snipe hunting" Saturday evening
The party drove four or five miles north
OF Topeka and the young man was left
holding a sack. His companions then
took the buggies and drove to the CITY.
The young man was faithful. but after
waiting two or three hours without re-
suits he gave up and walked home. He
did not reach the city until after mid.

VANDERBILT SCHEME
They Reach Out After the Union
Pacific System.
A Huge Railroad Scheme Which
is Now Hatching.
DEAL WITH GOULDS.
The Latter Are to Have the
Kansas Pacific.
Vanderbilt Roads Hope to Get
to the Coast.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA The Tribune says:
Ever since the famous traffic contract
was made between the Union Pacific and
the Chicago & Northwestern railroads
whereby the former secured the right to
dictate the through rates from the west
to Chicago and the latter through rates
from Chicago to points on the Union Pa
cific west of Omaha, rumors have been
current that the Vanderbilts would sooner
or later secure full control of the Union
Pacific property.
A plan of the reorganization of the
Union Pacific is now in course of prepa-
ration and the preliminary steps already
taken indicate beyond doubt that when
the Union Pacific gets out of the hands
of receivers it will be controlled and
operated by the Chicago & Northwestern
which is one of the Vanderbilt roads.
The reorganization committee. which
has Just been announced, has among its
members Chauncey NJ. Depew. president
of the New York Central and
Marvin Hughitt, president of the
Chicago 81 Northwestern. These
two able lieutenants of the Van
derbilt lines will no doubt be able
to control the other members of the com
mittee who are mostly presidents of
trust companies holding Union Pacific
securities.
1t is believed the Vanderbilts now hold
a majority of the Union Pacific secari-
ties. At one time Jay Gould held con
trolling interest in the Union Pacific,
and this. it is said has been absorbed by
the Nauderblts. A deal is said to have
been made between George Gould
aud the Vanderbilts whereby the
former is to b5 given control
T
be operated by the Missouri Pacific,
while the latter will take the main line
of the Union Pacific from Omaha west
and make it a part of the Chicago &
Northwestern system.
The Vanderbilts have no use foe the
kans \ Pacife, IS ti8 have no line 10
Kansas City TO connect with it; and De
sides. the main line of the Union Pacific
from Omaha viii give them outlet to
Denver via the Jules burg cutoff
With the Union Pacific in control of
the Chicago and Northwestern the latter
will have direct and independent line
from Chicago through to Ogden aud
Salt Lake with branch line to Denver
Should the Nanderbilts also be able to
keep the Oregon Short Line in the Uu-
ion Pacific they will have independent
lines from New York through to Port
land Ore
The most startling rumor which has
lately gained currency is that the Van
derbilts look still further than the ac-
QUESTION of the Union Pacific and the
Oregon Short Line through to San Fran
cisco and 10 gain this end. it is said they
are now negotiating with c. P, Hunting
ton with view of securing control Of
