The 4th at Smith Centre.

Last Thursday morning ninety Of
Phillipsburg's best, bravest, and fair
est, arrayed in their best Sunday
clothes boarded the Rock Island for
Smith Centre. The trip was soon
made, and upon arrival the party was
met at the depot by a big crowd
headed by brass band, and q re-
ception committee. The Phillpsburg
band joined forces with the Smith
Centre band and heading a large pro-
cession marched up town. At 10
o'clock the grand parade was had, in
which Phillipsburg was given u post
of honor. One.half mile south of
town the celebration was held, with
thousands in attendance. The morn
ing exercises consisted Of music and
an address by j. w. AIMS. After
dinner Il. j. Kelley of Lincoln, en-
tertained the crowd, and IN the even
ing a very creditable display Of fire.
works was made. The balloon as
usual failed to go up. The ball game
was between two county clubs from
Reamsville and Crystal Plains and
was won by the latter by score of 5
to %. Owing to misunderstanding
our home club was given no oppor-
tunity to show its poweress.
In the evening our brass band dis
coursed the best it had to a large and
appreciative audience, So much for
the regular program. During the
evening the visitors who renamed at
the Sherman house were treated to a
row that for time threatened to end
ia bloodshed, as reyolvers were drawn
and would have been used but for the
effort of some of our own crowd. The
war was between two Smith county
people, But for q delayed train the
trip would have been q delightful
one, but staying up all night waiting
for the cars that never came rather
put damper on the spirits of the
most iovial.
Smith Center is a thriving little
city of some 900 souls, with good
coy homes, and good bust
ness blocks, and is "dry" town. The
people of the city did everything pos
sible to entertain the visitors, who are |
under many obligations to Messrs
Hough, Nelson, Burrows and Coolidge
for many fayors shown. The Sher-
man house was the headquarters for
the party, and Mr.. and Mrs. Haga-
dorm spared no efforts to care for the
crowds that came down upon them
Mrs. Hagadorn is furnishing the trav-
cling public with the very best ac-
commodations, and is justly getting a |
large majority Of the business. One
guest, however, did not like the racket
kept up, and along toward morning
very emphatcally requested the ladies
to stop their cackling, The old brute!
Next year we want Smith Center to
return the call.

day. On the curb and open Board
early sales have been at 1917 for July.
against 1874 at the close yesterday.
Out of the Bedlam of the pit at the
opening Of the regular Board came
figures Of 1874 and 10 for July.
Early news was mostly OF a bearish
character. but numerous crop damage
reports were received. later. The
brokers saw the dangers OF such a
runaway market as that Of yesterday
and were advising customers to 90
slow. AS a consequence early trad
ing brought out many to stop the loss
OF the orders. July soon dropped to
77ss, auctuated between 77IS and 10,
and when very bad crop reports came
in, advanced TO 10 and eased off to 1881
The market later turned up to 70I6
Then for a long time it wobbled be.
tween 1879 and 10. The volume OF
trading was very much reduced in
comparison with the business OF tho
past few days.
Corn was weak, owing to the ceiling
OF about a million bushels b. Baldwin
and Farnrm.
The market turned weak, and at the
close July sold from 10 TO n. There
vas no news Of importance, but there
was a general resumption Of selling
and the market got no support.
Tho market continued to break
during the last fifteen minutes OF the
Change, July going at 761S, or 2sS
below the close OF last night, and 21S
below the high point early this morn

A SwespInE Decision.

WAsHIsGToS, May 27.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day denied
the application OF Eugene v. Debs.
the strike leader, for a writ Of habeas
corpus. This is a victory for the gov
eminent. No more important ques
ton, with the single exception OF the
incame tax, has come before the Su.
preme Court during the past year
than Debs and other. officials OF the
American Railway Union, to secure
reversals OF sentences to Jail by Judge
Woods, for interfering with interstate
commerce and the running OF mails,
in the great railway strike last Sum
mer.
The decision OF the court was read
by Justice Brewer, and was unani-
nous, there being no dissenting opin.
ion. All contentious OF the govern.
ment we're sustained.
The conclusions OF the court were
that the government of the United
States has jurisdiction oyer every foot
OF soil and every individual within
and boundaries OF the United States,
h while it vas one of limited powers
1t had the sovereignty within these
limitations. 1t has the power to in.
woke civil courts, remove Instructions
to Interstate commerce., and the civil
courts had the right to enioin those
who made distractions to such com
merce. The injunction was no bar to
criminal processes for acts done in
violation Of injunction, the Circuit
Court having final Jurisdiction, its act
was not renewable by the Supreme
Court on apetition for a writ of ha.
beas corpus, and therefore the writ
was denied.
