State University Commencement
Begins Tomorrow Night.

FIT. SCOTT, June 1.-E Robbins, one of
the oldest residents in this city, was ter
ribly bitten and torn by vicious hog
yesterday morning.
The old gentleman, near 75 years of
age, had gone to his neighbor. ". H.
Bril-, to secure a pig which he had pur-
chased. While attempting to get the
animal out of the pen he was surprised
by large hog in the same pen, which,
after knocking him down, grabbed him
by the throat and face and hung on with
tenacity of bull dog.
At the first snap of the Infatuated
brute's jaws, they craunched through the
PROSTATE mans face and jaw, breaking
the plate of his false teeth, a part of
which he swallowed
Although suffering from numerous
wounds in the face and neck, and almost
Ct ed from the obstacle in his throat.
he managed to secure a small stick
which, with great exertion he placed be-
tween the animals jaws, which he sue
ceeded in prying open.
The hog still showed fight, but the old
man made his escape and reached his
home hut short distance away. After
reaching his house he discovered that he
could not talk with the broken plate in
his throat and he was obliged to write a
short explanation of the case. Dr. Nc
Donald was at once called and soon re-
moved the piece from Mr.. Robbins
throat, after which he was able to relate
his story. Robbins wounds were dressed
and he is resting as well as could be ex-
Dected.

CHICAGO MARKEr LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stool
Exchange. Room g. Columbian Building.
The wheat market opened strong about
1 cent higher, on absence of rain in the
winter wheat states, half cent break
followed by a passing shower here, but
in few minutes the sun was shining
again and the decline was recovered. 1t
is a weather market and if it
should be dry and hot Monday
morning as indicated by weather predic-
tions unquestionably higher prices would
result. Exports for the week were fair,
primary receipts were light The visible
is expected to decrease more than 2
million bushels. Crop reports from Ind,
Mich, and Illinois continue to come in
bad. The Modern Miller reduces
its estimate for winter wheat 10
per cent. Rain is badly needed.
If it comes copiously very soon lower
prices will doubtless follow temporarily.
But so much damage has already been
done, it looks as if another bull move
ment would grow out of any material
break.
Corn and oats have travelled within
narrow range and prices are subject to
the weather as in wheat.
Provisions slow and easier on slack de-
mand and increased purchases of hogs.

TOTALLY DEPRAVED.
Four CoIored Women Made Rumpus at
the City Prison Last Night.

the city PRISON Last Night
For the first time since the change in
the police force last winter the women
prisoners at the city prison have become
so unruly that four of them are confined
in the basement The creatures who
we're taken to the basement are all col
orecs
The trouble was between the two white
women and the half dozen colorsd
women who occupy that portion of the
Jail allotted to females.
Carrie Alexander, who is the worst
of the colored girls, was going to do IN
told harm to Pearl Goodwin, white girl,
when the police interfered- Mrs Thorpe,
the police matron. first attempted to stop
the racket, but was driven from the cell
by threats and a storm of profanity.
Then Jailer Disbrow and Officer Aye
took a hand and were greeted with a
shower of profanity which they declare
they never heard the equal of from any
human beings. The creatures showed
themselves to be depraved beyond all
conception of the average mind. A fire
was built for them in the basement, but
the women put it out and cursed the
officers for their paina When Captain
Gardiner heard of the case, and especial
ly how the women had treated Mrs
Thorpe, he left orders to have the women
kept below all night.

CHICAGO, June With a short SEES
sion before them with the intervening
Sunday and with the decided uncertain
ties of weather development in the mean
time, traders were inclined to restrict
their dealings to even up contracts as a
"hedge" against the danger of dump"
The weather was the all important fac
tor in the situation and it was about as
bad as it could well be. No relief from
the torrid spell was visible and il seems
to have spread almost from the Rocky
mountains to the Atlantic coast. From
every direction came reports of scorch-
ing temperature. As early as o'clock
in the morning the thermometers were
registering from 70 to 80 degrees with
prospects of going much higher through

NEWTON, June 1.-The halyard of the
tall tag pole in front of the G. A. R.
hall became disengaged from the pole
some time ago and no one has had the
courage to climb the pole to replace the
rope.
Bob Snyder, boy of this place, offered
to replace the halyard, and with the pole
climbers belonging to the electric light
station, made the ascent When within
about fifteen feet of the top the climbers
slipped from the poll and the boy dan
gled in the air. The crowd that was
watching held its breath expecting to see
the boy come tumbling to the earth, but
he only Rugged the pole tighter, and not
relying on the climbers Skinned up to
the pulley. In attempting-to put the
rope through the pulley it slipped from
his fingers and fell to the ground.
He was compelled to slide down the
pole and was nearly exhausted when he
reached terra frma. He made the as
