WHEAT EXCITEMENT.

Chicago. Sept. 3O.-The Chicago
wheat pit was today a scene of turmoil
and excitement such as has been sci.
dom witnessed since the days when
"Old Hutch" used to make spectators
writhe.
Since September s, up to the OPEN
ing Of yesterdays board, wheat had
steadily risen until an advance Of II
cents had been recorded. Yesterday
the reaction came. The conservative
element had concluded that wheat had
risen about as far as the existing con-
.dition would warrant. and their senti-
ment at first was echoed in the decline
of rs cents which marked yesterdays
trading, due to their letting go of their
lines. Firm conviction existed that it
would decline further today. But cable
from Liverpool told that every offer Of
wheat from this side had been accepted
and there was still a lrm demand.
Prices. today. were higher, II anything,
in spite Of the decline here. Shorts
were simply stunned by the announce
ment. and the effect was in the
opening prices, which we're fully \ Of
a cent higher than yesterdays close.
When later cables reported London
excited and prices advancing, the eag-
erness to cover became a wild scramble
to get wheat at almost any price. By

BRIDGE

Lancaster, Pa, Sept. 30.-For over
an hour last night the city and vicinity
was subjected to the severest wind
storm ever known. 1t is impossible to
estimate the number OF buildings
wholly or partly destroyed, or the
monetary expense of the damage. The
greatest single loss is that OF. the Penn
sylvania railroad bridge. across the
S%nsquehanna at Columbia, nothing be-
ing left Of it but the piers, a spar in
end. The bridge was a mile and a
quarter long and was said to be the
largest railroad bridge in the world.

Involving the Title to Certain Lands
on Sherman Hill.

An interesting mining ontest in the
local land Office, which has occupied the
attention of the Union Pacific Railroad
company and a number of miners on
Sherman hill. was concluded yesterday
afternoon.
The case involves the question OF
the mineral character OF the land in
section 10, township IA north, range
ing claims have been located.
The Union Pacific Railroad company
desires to patent these lands and as
they had been returned by the survey
ors in early days, as non-mineral, it
.deyolved upon the miners to show that
the land was mineral in character and
from the United States to the railroad
company.
Fifteen witnesses were examined on
both sides, the contestants being
Charles z. Carpenter ct al. The prin-
cipal testimony off red was given by
chemists assayers and their certif-
Gates, which were offered in evidence.
The chemist and assayer of the Omaha
and Grant Smelling works and Profess
o Wilbur c. Knight of the state uni
versity were witnesses for the railroad
company in person and testified, not
only as to the assays made by them,
but also as t. the geological and min
eralogical character of the country. SO

THE VARSITY RuMPUS.
1t Ends in a Large Number of Students
Being Punished.

Yesterday afternoon a faculty COM
mittee completed a thorough inves,igl-
ton of the recent hazing at the uni
versity and came to a unanimous deci-
sion in regard to the punishment to be
administered. The decision of the fac
ulty was tempered by the lSct that no
punishment whatever haA been at
tempted in the past for sim Ear acts.
Students who received Inc hazing
were subjected to a thorougN examina-
ton as well as many OF those compos-
ing the offending party.
The offenders have been divided into
four grades and punished according to
thcir guilt. Six have been suspended
from the institution for a period Of 10
days. two for five days, five who acted
as guards at the doors to rHsvaut es-
cape or intrusion will be e y,rely rep
rimanded by the president in the pres
ence of the faculty, and abort IS who
We're indiI ectly connected wi n the af-
fair will be privately reprimanded by
the president. Further, the. president
was requested to state puhlh ly in the
chapel that any recurrence would be
punished more severely, as the fac
ulty is determined that such outrages
must be stopped.

Hannaism.

Speaking OF the manager OF the Re
publican campaign, the Spokane Re-
view says: "The evolution of this man
Hanna, and his advent into public
life AS the leader of the great political
party and manager of that partys
candidate for the presidency, marks
the dawDing of crisis in American
political life. 1t is notorious that he
has gathered for use in this campaign
the most gigantic campaign fund ever
collected in any land in modern times.
Not since the corrupt days of Rome
has the use of great sums of money
been SO notorious, open and fragrant.
1t needs to be said, with trumpet
blast, that this shameful use Of money
American political life, though
more insidious than the employment
Of armed bands of hireling ruffians, is
none the less dangerous and perver-
sive Of those rugged elements of hon
esty and patriotism, upon which this
government was founded.
Here lies the real danger to Ameri-
can institutions. History's pages burn
with the fiery lesson that governments
have been undermined and gone into
decay because of the prevalence of the
dangerous principles VIGOROUSLY prac-
| ticed by Mark Hanna. With con-
summate cunning this dangerous in
divldual is raising a false cruntercry
against the American people. Against
the farmers and the workingmen-the
very heart and soul of this nation
this man Hanna raises n cry of an
arehy aud repudiationl And false
aud shameful though 1t be, lament
ably that cry finds Judgement and be
lief in the minds Of many good PEG

Their Duty is Plain,

Hon. J. w. Reid, who was perma-
nent chairman OF the recent Demo-
cratic State convention used the fol-
lowing language in a speech few
days ago at Lewiston:
II the present situation it seems to
me, fellow citizens, that all Democr / is
and Populists should stand by the
nominees OF the Peoples Democratic
party. The duty is plain one. The
coalition entered iuto between the
Peoples party and the Democrats party
in August last constitutes bond Of
honor. This union of forces was at
fected to promote the cause OF silver,
and to reduce taxation in the State
ard introduce economy in the admin
istration of public affairs, both state
and county. For a Democrat to re-
fuse to support the ticket nominated
at Boise by the joint convention, is 10
absolutely refuse to abide by the will
Of majority OF the party. 1t seems
to me it means TO bolt the party cket
1t seems to me that it is to defy party
law and party allegiance, and reverse
the principle upon which the nation
as well as party is found d--majorit,
rule. Before the Democratic party
| nctad thara p,iuht hnya haan Soma N y
cuse for members being in favor o
uniting with some other forces Lei
your preference be rs it may. IL i
too late now for any Demo rat to b
found still advocating what his party
by an overwhelming majority, ha
said ought not to be done. II the de
mocratic party has declared for prin
ciples which any member Of it can no
conscientiouslv support, it seems l.
me he should abandon il and joil
some other party that comes neare
representing his views. II we rcpua
ate the honorable agreement mad
with the Peoples party, abandon part
will, and lose the confidence Of one c
the great parties in the State, wha
excuse can we render for such action
Is the promotion to Office of any mar
or any set OF men, of more value an
consequence than our fidelity to part
and our fidelity to out pariy's honor
bile agreement? What would we thin
of the Peoples party if they were t
refuse to stand by their part Of til
agreement? Could we retain our re
spect for them? ] regret that the Sill
yer Republicans are seeking, for per
sonal aggrandizement, to promote di
cord among the silver forces of tn
State. They have refused to act wit
their party because ey favor the FIRE
coinage of silver. We should all ac
(, together, and / trust that they will a
be found supporting the coalitio
Peoples Democratic ticket. 1t seen
to me the duty Of every Democrat
plain, and that is to support the i
r gally nominated candidates of h
party, and assist in carrying out III
. honorable compact made by
through its duly authorized delegate
in convention assembled"

While there are enough GOLD
standard Republicans in Idaho to
outvote the silver Republicans two
TO one, remember that there are nc
gold standard Democrats in the
state. Who are the best friends OF
silver the Republicans or Demo
crats?--Wood River News Miner
w. j. Bryan says: Il believe tn
gold standard has made more mis-
cry for the human race, than wars
and famine, more than the human
mind can conceive" And the grea
Wahoo luminary says the election
of Republican county officials il
Gilmore is paramount to the fret
silver cause.
The logic of the silver republican
talk is something like this: 1--WE
don't like our leaders. Their me-
thod of campaign don't suit us.
Democrats, populists and all others
who dislike the policy of our party
join with US; make us generals and
leaders in every position of trust
and when we get those leaders whom
we don't like killed off we will &C
over to the other side and take com.
mand and kill you off" How dc
you like the invitation? Strange
enough, some few democrats seem
willing TO accept it.

The tendency of miners wages on

gold standard has been downward,
it being specially marked after the
closing down of silver mines across
the Sierras, By what rule of logic
can it be maintained that the con-

lowed by the certain failure to re-
open silver mines, will increase
