Verdict of Murder Rendered
Against Holmes Mt the To-
rOtO Inquest

CHICAGO, July 24.-What are be-
yond a doubt portions of a human
skeleton were found today in the
basement of H. H. Holmes building
in SiXty-third street. Chief of Police
Badenoch was notified and immedi-
ately went to the house. The chief
said that the find apparently left
little doubt that murder had been
committed in the gloomy castle"
and the coroner was notified to take
charge of the CHASTITY discovery. The
bones were found by one of the gang
of laborers which has for several
days been digging in the dark base
ment, where various bits of evidence
had been found which encouraged
the police in their search for the re-
mains of the missing Minnie Will
Jams and her sister The find today
was made at a depth of about two
feet, close to a foundation wall. DR..
Charles North, to whom the bones
were submitted for examination.
pronounced them portions of a hui
man skeleton. He had not applied
chemical tests, he said, but after a
superficial examination he had no
doubt that they were human bones.
The find was mysterious, as neither
the skull nor any of the leg bones
were found with the ribs and bits
OF Vertebrae. A small vial contain
ing a peculiar-looking fluid was
found with the skeleton, but it's ma
ture could not be determined with
out tests, and it was accordingly sent
to a chemist for ANALYSIS.

NO TALK OF SMUT HERE.
Big Yield in South Dakota. Says
an Elevator Man.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., July PA. c.. John
son, travelling auditor of the Van Du-
sen Elevator company, is in the city to-
day and talks very encouragingly of
crop prospects over the state. He has
been travelling all over the state for
several weeks for the purpose of max
ing an estimate on the wheat crop and
thinks the prospects are far ahead of
what they have been for several years.
His estimate of the acreage devoted
to wheat this year is placed at 100000
acres, and is based on the decrease in
acreage of past years. His estimate
on average yield is twelve bushels per
acre. This will give the state from U.s.
100000 to 100000 bushels this year,
against about 1000, 600 bushels last year.
He places the southern and eastern
counties in the lead with an average
of from Is to Is bushels per acre, and
gives to the northern part of the state
from to 10 bushels. From three to
five counties with Beadle county as the
center he thinks will not go to exceed
half the average or about to bush
els to the acre. There is a small area
in Campbell and Walworth counties
where the yield will be from Is to 20
bushels to the acre.
He reports two general rains over the
state within the past eight days which
have done. much. to help out late wheat
and all other crops
Farmers in this immediate vicinity
are just beginning to harvest and are
placing their estimates all the way
from 10 to 10 bushels per acre.

Protection.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Is it not about time for the bimet-
allie ass to doff the lions skin? His
ears have been long enough in evil
dence; but now that his silver-toned
voice betrays him there would seem
to be no need of farther disguise and
he should stand forth the plain DON
key that he is. "Bimetallism," this
mouth-filling word of the silver DEM
agogue, which he utters ore rotundo
to the amazement and mystification
of his rustic hearers, he is at little
pains to define either to himself or to
them.
Bimetallisn, according to a stand
ard authority, is thus defined: 'It
is the use Of two metallic standards
on exactly equal terms at some defin-
lite fixed ratio Of value, so that any
debt may be paid or contract perform
ed equally well with one of them or
with the designated ratio of the other
This definition appears to be clear
enough, but the difficulty is to find an
example Of it. There are silver stand
ard countries like China, India and
Mexico; countries like England, with
her colonies, and Germany, in which
silver circulates as limited legal ten
der, or other countries like France
and Italy of "the Latin union" in
which the franc is the unit. These
latter, especially, have furnished an
illustration Of tha double standard, but
unfortunately just as Its beauties be-
gan to appear. they We're compelled
to limit their silver coinage to es-
cape going into bankruptcy. The

cago. She has all along contended that
most of the charges against her hus-
band were nothing more than news
paper talk, and she still declines to
discuss them. When asked to make a
statement concerning her life with
Holmes she replied: mo, will not
say a word" When asked if she was
in communication with Holmes she re-
piled: Whose business it it, 1 should
like to know?" Of Blackburn, Holmes
financial agent, she would not say
word. my affairs are my own, and
the less that the public knows about
them the better 1 am pleased" she
finally said, as she disappeared in the
house. j. S. Belknap is Holmes faith
er-in-law: 81 read every paper 1 can
get hold Of regarding Holmes doings,'
he said, land L do not know what to
think. My daughter, Mrs. Holmes, is
nearly wild with grief, and my wife is
greatly troubled. Myrtle now believes
Holmes was false to her. and she has
had nothing to do with him since he
was arrested last November. Holmes
was always kind to her and it would
not be strange if she loves him still,
but her sense of dignity will not let
her go to him at present. The title to
the property in Wilmette is so tangled
up we do not know who owns the place,
and we may have to move at any time.
This suspense is simply awful. If
Holmes is guilty he ought to be pun
ished.''

BUT MUCH DAMAGE FROM SMUT
is REPORTED IN NORTH

WILL REDUCE THE BIG CROP.
LODGING OF GRAIN BY STORM
AND INJURY FROM RUST
ALSO REPORTED
CairIy Encouraging Conditions
Shown by the North Dakota
Crop Report.
Snecial to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, N. D., July 24.-The
state crop report for the week says:
The temperature during the past
week has been below the normal,
while heavy rains have fallen in eV-
cry part of the state, removing any
fear of drouth that might have been
felt Little clear weather was expert
enced, and the sun did not shine
except on the last day of the week.
More reports of damage have been
received now than any time since
these reports began in the spring.
The damage seems to be from many
different causes, and is not confined
to any one section of the state. Smut
is said to be appearing very rapidly
in scattered places in the Red river
valley, and in the southern counties,
and is expected to greatly reduce the
wheat crop. The reports from CORE
spondents are so very conflicting,
however, that any estimate of the
present damage cannot be made.
Grain being lodged also seems to
come forward prominently this week
and rust is also mentioned as fac
tor in injuring the prospects. A re-
view of the condition, however
shows that more reports of the crops
being in good condition, and Of pros
poets favorable, have been received
than those claiming damage to it,
but that some damage has been
done, not as a whole, but in separat-
ed places, is now apparent.
The harvesting of rye and barley
has been in progress during the past
week, and the yield is said to be very
promising. The wet weather of the
past week will have the effect Of
delaying harvest some, but it is ex-
pected to commence in about ten
days.
Haying has been in progress dur
ing the week with varying results,
most reports stating that the crop
is light, except in the Missouri val
ley, where it is very good.
Corn still continues backward,
the cool weather having retarded it's
growth. Potatoes are doing very
well, as also are gardens and all
| late-sown grain.

DEMON HOLMES TALKS.
His Collection of COrpses for
SwindIium purnOSeS

SWIMMING purposes.
PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-H. H.
Holmes was visited in his cell today
by his counsel, William A. Shoemaker.
For two hours or more Holmes spoke
freely of the bones and other frag-
ments of human anatomy found in his
castle in Chicago. Mr.. Shoemaker
says Holmes declared that the tuft of
human hair found in the chimney
could not have belonged to Minnie
Williams, for the reason that the
chimney was one put in after the
girls disappearance. AS for the bones
he said they were not those of Ger
trude Conner, Minnie Williams, or any
other persons whom he was charged
with having murdered.
THE police simply don't know what
they are talking about" Holmes con-
tinued, when they say I murdered
so many persons and buried their bod
les unfortunately in every nook and
corner 1 could find throughout the
country. Quite a while ago 1 made a
statement to the Philadelphia author
tiles that they were liable to find
human bones in many different places
all over the continent. L then frankly

did not pan out. One of these was for
