ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2O.-Three daring
highwaymen, driving about the streets
in buggy, made three successful hold

was to drive slowly along the out-town
streets until a. single pedestrian was
encountered, when they would jump
from the buggy. rob the victim and
drive away rapidly Miss Frances Wes-
ton, the first victim, was rObed of her
purse, containing SO, at the corner Of

sidewalk in front of her home at 720
North Handkerchief avenue. Today Mrs.

party at Cardigan and Park avenues.

1t leaked out here yesterday that
charges of unfair riding at the recent

made against Eddie Bald, of Buffalo,

their indefinite suspension from the

Chicago, Aug. 20.-The Importance at
tached to the reported gold impoTta-
tons was still apparent in the tone
which governed wheat at the opening.
Prices began with an appreciation of g
of a cent over yesterday, but with that
gain the Improvement rested. '"Too
little" was the excuse for the halt, and
that was also pledged in eXtenuation Of
the later recessions which took place.
Receipts at Chicago were AS cars, and
76,109 bushels were taken from store.
The northwest had 2s7 cars, against 252
last Thursday and 40S a year ago. The
Cincinnati Price Current reported to
striking changes in crop conditions dur
ing the past week, but suggested a
lowering of spring wheat estimates.
September wheat opened from 561s
to IS, declined to 55A, closing at $685.
A@3s of a cent under yesterday. Es-
minated receipts for tomorrow, 100 cars.
Corn-The interest and action in corn
was confined to few local traders
and professionals. The large crop is
in check, whilst the low price offers
little opportunity for short selling.
The Cincinnati Price Current said of
corn: Moderate drawbacks to corn in
some sections but more than average
crop certain The tendency of prices
was to follow the direction of those of
wheat Some firmness at the opening
was due 10 the heavy out-inspection.
Liverpool cables were I'D higher. May
corn opened at PIX @273s, sold between
27B0263s. closing at 2670271s, q, Il
cent under yesterday. Estimated re-
ceipts for tomorrow, 450 cars.
Oaits-The same spirit of f1rgnness
that has prevailed recently in oats OBJ
tanned in the market for that grain TO-
day. The sentiment continued buliish.
bushels We're taken from store The
Of oats late in the session, causing some
depreciation. May oats closed Il under
yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-
morrow, 1876 cars.
oN-isions-Adverse information was
received from the yards this morning
and product naturally, was guided
thereby. A fairly good business was
transacted. The growing belief that
the reported deal in September pork is
a myth tends to impart courage to the
bear contingent and renders the task
of bull more difficult. Prices rallied
late in the session on the inevitable
short covering. January pork closed
212 under yesterday and January lard
and ribs each a. shade higher Closing
prices:
Wheat-August, 54% September, 55as
December, SO.
Corn-August 224s; September, %

THE SELECTION OF A CHAIRMAN.

The Democratic state central COM
mittee meets today to choose a chair
man and transact other business. A
number of gentlemen prominent in the
party are mentioned for the place;
that the choice Of the committee will
be wise one. there is no question.
Who the chairman should be, The Her
aid makes no pretension to say. The
only suggestion it would make, and
this is perhaps needless, is that he be
as thorough-going a silver man as Mr..
Bryan himself. There must attach to
him no suspicion that he in any way
favors the gold standard, which would
be to favor the financial plank of the
St Louis platform. And that which
is said of the chairman of the party
will apply with no less force to the
choice of presidential electors, the Sc
lection of legislative candidates
and candidates for other offices
when the time for the selection
comes. This is as necessary as
it was that none but silver men above
suspicion be sent to the national con-
vention. 1t should never be forgotten
for a single moment that the battle for
free silver is not yet won. though all
things now point to victory in Novem-
Der. But until that victory is achieved
no risk must be run. Therefore it is
necessary that the chairman of the
Democratic party be a silver man.
That the state central committee will
also recognize this necessity there is
no doubt.

ANOTHER coLDBuG LIE NAILED.

Time was when a lie would travel
ON her boots, but that time is no more.
In the Chicago Evening Post of Tues
day last appeared a communication
from one W. C. Paris stating that the
Bimetallic league had had Mr. Bryan
in its pay and stating that the checks
of the treasurer of that concern Cham
bers by name, l think in favor of
Bryan every month for the last three
years passed through the bank at Lin
coin. Neb."
The reference TO Chambers" was no
doubt to Hon. R. c. Chambers, of this
city. He is not the treasurer of the
league, but its vice-president, Hon.
Thomas w. Merrill being the treasurer.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Chambers,
who is in San Francisco, was tele-
sraphed to by The Herald in relation
to the matter He denies the whole
thing 1t is lie MADE out of whole
cloth the sole object of which was to
discredit Mr.. Bryan in the eyes of the
people by making it appear that his
advocacy Of free silver was not honest
and sincere but was the advocacy of a
hired agent.
These same lies about Mr.. Bryan
have been denied before, but still some
wicked persons insist on starting them
again, and so often as they are started
it will be necessary to deny them. In
this latest lie there was seeming
definiteness that gave it plausibility.
but Nh Chambers denial takes from
it every substance of plausib4lity, and
1T stands forth bold, naked lie. But
those who uttered it will feel no shame
in their exposure most likely, for the
lying nature knows no shame.
Truth will overhaul and down the
next lie just as soon as she did this one.

A aHnALER" COMES TO GRIEF.

The future historian of the United
States will find it a rather hard task
to explain how it came about that in
the United States in the year of grace
1896 there was such an abundant crop
of .healers,' and that so many people
took them so seriously. The success of
these men has been something phenome-
nal The latest one to attract any con-
siderable attention is the man Schrader
who has been operating in Texas ard
the southwest He has been drawing
the same large crowds that Schlatter
did in Colorado. but at last he may be
said to have fallen upon evil times.
He was at Fort Worth the other day.
1t had been widely advertised that he
would address a meeting at a small
lake near the town. At the appointed
time a large crowd assembled, there
being many invalids present During
the course of his remarks Schrader tod
how he possessed many of the attri-
butes of the Savior. ending his talk
with she declaration that he could even
walk upon the water. This was fatal
to all his pretensions, for some irrever-
ent person in the crowd cried out.
Walk then" 1t was easier in this.

A GoIDBUG PREDICTION NOT YER
IFGED.

Mr. Bryar speech in Madison Square
Garden has not proved acceptable TO
some of the New York papers, but this
is particularly the case with the Even
ing Post, which plays in the goldbug
campaign the part of the oracle of
Delphi.
The speech is a disap prominent to it
in more ways than one. but chiefly he
cause it is not at all what it predicted
it would be. It is a rather humiliating
thing to predict in print what a speech
will be, and give rather a, full sketch
of it ard then discover that the predic-
ton and sketch are both wrong. This is
the predicament in which the Post finds
itself. In its issue of last Monday 1T
said:
There is little doubt concerning the
character of the speech which Mr..
Bryan is to deliver in this city. The
politicians in charge of his campaign
have been diligently at work with him.
telling him what to say. and all that
he has to do is to speak his piece in MS
best possible manner. He will
not say anything here about burning
down our cities; that has an unpleasant
SOUND III TINS part OF the country, ana
might require explanation. But he will
expatiate on the patriotism of the
American people, and the devotion of
the masses. especially those who are
for free silver, to our government. He
will proclaim our independence; not our
independence of foreign governments.
but our independence Of the lessons of
experience, of the warnings of history,
of the laws which govern foreign COM
merce. of the established principles of
finance, and of the obligations of ma
tional honor. He will assert with i'm
passioned earnestness that we are a
nation of 100000 of people, and that
we can maintain whatever monetary
system we choose, without the consent
of foreign nations and in defiance of
their prejudices and protestant his
audience will all with one voice about
the space of two hours cry out, Great
is the silver goddess of the Americans!
It will puzzle the Post to find in Mr.
Bryans speech any one of the things
it foretold would be in it The Post S
version of the speech, like its Mckinley
pamphlet, will be withdrawn"

"sIGNs" IN POLITICS.

Some of the methods taken to boom
to be condemned. For instance here
is story that comes from Ionia, Mich
igan:
"A mysterious vagnry of last nights
tornado and electrical storm is report
ed from Stoughton, near this city. A
large barn had been recently erected by
Abner NIillikan, facing the main street,
and he, being an ardent Republican,
decorated the newly painted sides with
the large Autograph portrait of Nc
Kinley and Hobart, The Workingman
Friends!'
During the progress of the storm
lightning played about the building re-
peatedly, and during the second storm,
which came at 1870 a. m, a. binding
fash of lightning was seen to envelop
the building in a. sheet of flame Mill
kan and his hired man FASTENED to the
building, expecting to find 1T af1re in a
dozen Places but to their astonishment,
the bolt appeared to have done no
harm. When daylight came, it was
seen that the Autographs had been torn
bodily from the barn, and in their
place was a perfect reproduction of the
portraits, to the smallest detail, pho
tographed on the newly painted sides
of the building. This phenomenon has
been seen by dozens of persons during
the day.
''At the home of Charles McCane, in
the same township, the lightning struck
an cutbuilding and burned the letters
NJ and H distinctly on the sides.
McCane says he had intended voting
for Bryan, but believes this to be a di-
vine warning and will vote for McKin-
ley and Hobart.
No story from the middle ages could
show more superstition among the peo-
pie than that. Those who accept such
stuff, and no doubt many do, give evil
dence that their intelligence is on a
par With that of bowling dervish or
a Mecca pilgrim. To send out such
stories in behalf of any candidate is
to insult American intelligence and
disgrace US in the eyes of all nations
We may next expect to hear it assert
ed on good authority, that the Nc
Kinley band wagon has been changed
for a golden chariot direct from the
realms above.

an offer of marriage.

matter very seriously, and if you like to
come to me when you have made up
your mind, / will write a reply for you

pleased. I've settled it. l answered 1T
