change. Room 3. Columbian Building.
An influx of wheat at Minneapolis aud
Duluth this mornings receipts of nearly
a thousand cars comes pretty near Civ
ing one the impression that the spring
wheat movement is almost in full blast.
The argument is if the two big markets
in the northwest are going to get that
much wheat SO easily this time of the
season what will the result be within the
next thirty days.
On bordering over the subject traders
who were long, thought probably that
discretion was the better part of valor
and proceeded to dump undesirable
property on a weak market The open
ing was at lower range from the close
yesterday, September selling 81, and
was soon in close proximity TO the
"put" price where as usual
some buying against the privi-
leges steadied the market, however there
was no sight of legitimate character TO
assist prices. There was very free iiqui
dation of September and at the same
time not great deal of buying in Deem

tage of recessions to cover more wheat.

Corn and oats-More strength was
Slapped from the corn and cat market to-

million bushels in the last ten days the

cars. Exports 345, 900 bushels. For to-
morrow 275 cars, and exporters say the
rush of old corn must be nearly over,
and it may be little wise to buy May
corn on any further break.

HOW QUANTRELL DIED.
The Story of the Noted GueriIIa's Death
Told at Last.

Told at Last.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug 27.-Capt
Simon Horseley, man who served with
distinction under Gen. Forest, died at the
home of his brother Roger, this state,
yesterday.
Intimate friends have known for some
time that he knew of the killing of the
noted confederate. Quantrell, but tho
facts did not become generally known
until his death. Horseley was sent as a
recruiting officer by Gen. Forest into
Kentucky and as Quantrell was returning
from raid he stopped in the vicinity of
Bardstown and began depredations.
Horseley at the request of citizens there
waited on Quantren and asked him to
desist, but Quantrell would not listen to
the demands and he was warned to
make no more raids on the property of
Kentucky confederates and the two
men separated.
1t was in the spring of 1855 and Guam
trell became desperate. He made an
other raid and during an engagement
with a detachment of Kentucky troops
Quantrell was killed. Mr.. Horseley was
an honest and reliable citizen, and con-
f1ded secrets to some of his Masonic
friends that they would not divulge as
long he lived. Now that he is dead
they are willing to supply this missing
link in the history of the Lost Cause and
possible light on the tragic end of
QuantrelPs Rurderous career.
It had been generally believed that
Quantrell was killed by Federal troops.

VANDERBILT A TURFMAN.

He Buys a String of Flyers to Take to
France.
NEW YORK. Aug 21.-The World says:
W. z. Vanderbilt has begun his career
as turf man. He has just bought from
Pierre Lerilard sixteen thoroughbred
mares in pursuance of his plan to start a
breeding and racing establishment in
France.
From Johnstown, N. j., where Mr..
Lorilard's Raucocas farm is located,
comes the news that the mares are being
prepared for shipment, and that Mr.
Vanderbilt will have all of them in
Francs before October l. Seven of
them have sucking colts and FLIES, and
the youngsters will have to be weaned
before their dams can be sent across the
water. All will be ready, however, with
in two weeks.
Both Mr. Lorilard and MIR, Vanderbilt
have done their utmost to keep the pur-
chase of the mares a secret, and the
amount of the check which passed is
not known. The mares are all from the
richest producing lines of England and
America, aud cost Mr.. Lorilard more
than SIS, 900. It is ME- Wander bilt's in
tentiOn to breed the mares to French
stations and race horses in France.

Cure for Rattlesnake Bites.

George Lewis, the snake catcher, who
captured six 51a-foot rattlers near Port
Jarvis, N. J., two weeks ago, was bitten
in the left hand by a RATHER while re-
moving an old stump in a lot He
bound a handkerchief tightly around
the wrist, and, going home, stepped the
leaves of a plant called pilot MASTER
in water and applied poultices to the
wound every hour. The arm swelled
to an enormous size as far as the Shout
der, but the weed proved a sure cure.
Lewis was able to be about the next
morning in Port Jarvis and exhibited
the curative weed. 1t is like a house
plant, spotted, and grows from three
30 four inches high.
