ReichstnG Enncts Legislation Prohib-
ling SPECULATION.

WASHINGTON, July l5.-At the instance
of the agrarian leaders the German Reich
stag has enacted a law prohibiting specula-
tion in options and also intended to restrict
speculation in stocks. The new law be-
yond doubt will affect seriously the sale
of American securities in Germany aside
from its effect upon grain markets. The
announced purpose of the agrarians in pass
ing the law was to increase the price Of
grain, and in debates there were plentiful
citations of the arguments so freely ad-
vanced in congress when the anti-option
bill was being pressed a few years ago.
Details OF the new law are supplied to the
State department by United States Com
mercial Agent Moore at Weimar with ex-
planatory notes and As TO stock
speculation the restrictions adopted threaten
to exclude from the German exchanges a
large class OF American industrial and min
ing and railroad properties, and are es-
pecially severe upon new products. In each
exchange government inspectors will be sta
toned. No stock can be placed on the list
except by direction of a committee at least
a majority OF whose members are not mem
beers of the exchange. No stock can be listed
unless the corporation has been In exist
ence at least one year and has submitted
a profit and loss statement for the year; nor

TO Connect Them with

IoNDAMIN Job CHARGED TO THEM

Indications now are that Ward and st.
Joh", the two travellers who we're arrested
here Tuesday for the larceny OF some sad.
dies and small stuff at River Sioux. will
have a charge Of bank robbery lodged against
them.
Three weeks ago the bank at Mondamln.
la, was broken into and the cashiers drawer
rificd OF It's contents. The work was cyi-
dently that Of noyices. as no attempt was
made to force the vault In which the funds
Of the bank were located. The robbers
contented themselves with the dry picking
found in the drawers, and this realized only
a few dollars. In the money taken. how
ever, were several rare coins. pennies OF
ancient date and design, and a Mexican free
silver dollar. These coins, while not jeop-
a~rdizing the banks financial standing by
their loss. have served to furnish a pretty
good clue to the men who broke in and
robbed the place.
When st. John and Ward were arrested
the officers had nothing but contempt for
them. They had a lot OF petty thieveries
charged against them and were wanted to
answer to the larceny of several second hand
sets OF harness, an old saddle or two and
some stuff of that kind. Now they are
looked upon as bank robbers and are being
considered in better form by the officials.
When the men were arrested they had a
few dollars in loose change and twenty-siX
pieces OF old coin, including a Mexican trade
dollar and a number OF odd pennies. This
money was held by ST. John. and he was
very anxious to keep it and asked permits
sion to carry his own pocketbook. This
aroused suspicion and when Constable Miles
came down yesterday from River Sioux he
was pretty sure that the coins in question
had been taken from the Mondamin bank.
Ward and St. John are professional traders.
They left this city about a month ago and
are known TO have been in the vicinity of
Mondamin when the bank there was robbed.
Yesterday the men were allowed to take
their horses and place them in pastures for
safe keeping, while they are absent as guests
Of the state. Mrs. Jennie Williams. who is
something of a horse trader herself, appeared
on the scene yesterday morning with a
claim Of 80 against the two men. She was
SO persistent that she was given one of the
horses to square her claim.
The prisoners were taken to River Sioux
by Constable Miles last night.

SENATOR JONES on ruE CAMPAIGN.
Brynn's Candidacy VIII he Pushed In

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Jones,
chairman of the democratic national COM
mittee. was at the capital today in confer
ence with Senator Harris OF Tennessee, on
various matters connected with the prose-
cution OF Mr.. Bryan's candidacy. He said
that the executive committee probably would
not be appointed for ten days vet. The
senator. when asked about the life tenure
OF office plank, concerning which there has
been some question, said that II was aCtually
adopted as a part Of the platform, but that
the following clause except as otherwise
provided by the constitution OF the United
states" needed to be added to the plank,
these words having formed part Of It as
adopted, but having been left ont of the
stenographic verbatim copy OF the proceed
ings, owing to a mistake.
Senator Jones said today that he favors
locating the national headquarters in Wash
ington, but that 1t will be for the commit
tee to decide that point. In case Washing
ton is determined upon, a large building
centrally located will be taken for cam
paiEn work. He said he could give no in
timation as to the personnel OF the executive
committee until ne had conferred with sew
eral gentlemen. Among names generally
mentioned are those OF the members Of the
silver committee. viz: Senator Harris of
Tennessee. Turpie Of Indiana. Governor
Stone of Missouri and Mr.. Hinrichsen of
Illinois, who organized the silver movement
up to the time of the convention.
The name of Governor Stone has been
mentioned as chairman of the executive
committee, but it is feared his duties as
governor might prevent his assuming the
responsible and laborious position. Chair
man Jones will see that all sections Of the
country are represented on the executive

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Owing to the
fact that the amount of silver dollars in the
treasury available for the redemption of
treasury notes has become reduced to So
$50, 5S2 and will be further reduced by re-
dcmption during the current month, the
coinage of silver dollars by the minis will
be increased from 81, 500, 900 to SO, 200, 900
per month from August l, and will probably
be continued at that rate in order that the
treasury may have a sufficient stock to re-
deem treasury notes presented in exchange
for silver dollars. On March l, 1898, the
treasury held 90. 1870. 4G1 standard silver dol
lars for the redemption Of treasury notes is

billy and Ia Arrested.
Guy Wright. a 14-year-old boy, was set
upon and severely beaten last evening by
his stepfather, James Hall, who lives near
Forty-frst street and First avenue. Peo-
pie who witnessed the assault believe Hall
would have killed the boy if he had not
been interfered with. They rescued the
child from the Infatuated man and tele-
phoned for the police.
Hall is employed in the Cudahy packing
house in South Omaha. He has been mar
ried to the boys mother some twelve years.
Five other children have been born since
the marriage. The boy admits that he
has not always been good, but says of late
he has tried to do right and has Joined
the Christian Endeavor society. There was
to be a meeting of the branch last even
ing and Mrs. Hall promised her son he
should go. After supper he got his work
done and was ready to start, when the
stepfather put a veto upon it. The boys
appeals for permission to go were I'M
needed. so watching his chance he slipped
out. Hall started after the boy, but finding
he could not overhaul him afoot, borrowed
a horse from J. J. Crow and continued the
chase. He came up with the boy in the
vicinity Of the Plano Manufacturing com
pany's warehouse on Thirty-second street
and First avenue. The boy crawled under
the shipping platform and hid, but the
man found him and dragged him out. The
uproar had attracted a little crowd and
Hall tried to force the boy to mount tho
horse. telling him that he would kill him
when he got him home. The boy refused
and Hall sprang upon him and beat him
into the earth. When the spectators inter
fered and pulled the Infatuated man of
the boy was black in the face and uncon-
scious. The men were on the point of
handling Hall pretty roughly, for they
were sure he meant to murder the child.
Wiser counsel prevailed and the matter
was reported to the police. Captain Maltby
investigated the case and was so well sat
isfed that it was serious that he brought
the child to the station and had a warrant
issued for Halls arrest on the charge of
assault with intent to do great bodily in
jury. TIL boy was kept at the station
while the captain and Officer CLAIR went
after Hall.
Among the witnesses were Charles Black,
Albert and Charles Rocker, c, T.. Miller,

notified of the serious shooting of Ellsworth
Hall, a farmer near woodland, a town in a

was discharged. The ball was intended for
Cutcoutri. but struck Hall in the back. His
