Dodge County DELEGATES.

At the Democratic county conven-
ton held at Juneau last Saturday the
following delegates were elected to the
state conventions: Charles End, H.
Rosenkranz, P. B. Lamoreux, H. S.
Gilmore, Fred DEFINE, NJ. J. Pluck,
John Stoddard, John Kessler, Adolph
Schwefel, Charles Hafemeister, James
Duffy, John Walther, Philip Kiefer,
A. Bachhuber. The convention is said
to have been verv tame affair and
not very numerously attended. The
chairman Of the county committee, DR..
Clason, pronounced gold Democrat,
was absent. There were comparative
ly few of the old wheel horses present,
the majority of the delegates being
young men who are expecting some
time or other to get into Office. The
delegation elected is said to be in favor
of the Chicago platform and resolu-
ton endorsing that platform and ticket
was adopted, but some Of the delegates
are known as Populists and we're
elected probably with view of fusion
with that faction. The candidacy of
John G.. Bachhuber, of Juneau, for
railroad commissioner appears to have
been lost sight of.

GOOD NEWS FROM SOUTH DAKOTA

The glorious results of this seasons harvest
of golden grain will pour. "a stream of sound
money into the pockets of every Dakota
farmer.
South Dakota has thousands of acres of
choice farming and ranch land lying east Of
from Chicago or Milwaukee which can now
be bought reasonably cheap but which be-
tore the end of another year may be ad-
vanced in price.
The stock-raislng industry IN South Dakota
is profitable, a8ld Eastern capital is now be-
ing invested in cattle and sheep growing in
that state.
Diversified farming, the growing of live
stock, and the products of the dairy are
placing South Dakota foremost in the ranks
of the successful Western states.

1T CLOSED UNCHANGED IN SPITE
OF THE DEPRESSION IN
STOCKS.
MARKET WEAKER IN TONE.
STOUT RESISTANCE OFFERED,
HOWEVER, TO ANY FURTHER
DECLINE IN PRICES.
SEPTEMBER SELLING A FEATURE.
The Spread Between That Delivery
and the December Option Wild
ened to Three Cents.

CHICAGO, Aug. THE grain and provi-
sion markets were today once more injur-
iously affected by the badly demoralized stock
market in New York. They offered a stout
resistance, however, to any further decline,
and in the end, wheat was no lower than
the day before; corn lower for September
and 1s@A higher for May. Provisions did
not show any material decline In wheat
there was a pretty good trade, moderately
active at times, the range for the day being
comparatively narrow, however, at 7s@1c.
The feeling developed was, on the whole,
weaker and September sold off to 555sc De-
cember selling to $3.50. final figures showing
no change on the former and a trifle gain
for the latter The liquidation of September
was feature and the spread between that
delivery and December widened at one time
to &c. Early cables came I'D lower. North
western receipts were liberal and the local
movement little larger than expected. The
New York stock market was weak and ex-
hibited dropping tendency, all of which
discouraged longs, and many parted with
their holdings. The market rallied and sold
up 9sc on the cash business effected at the de-
cline. Closing Liverpool cables came still
lower, and stocks showed declines, which was
responsible for the second break. Corn opened
weaker at &c decline, rallied A@sc, broke
Zee, changed some and closed with 1sc loss
on September and 1s@Ac higher for May. The
trade was chiefly local, with continued free
on that side Of the market yesterday. Shorts
covered some early, but the advance was met
with free offerings, and in the absence Of sup
port prices declined. Receipts were consid-
erably larger than expected. There was a
nervous market in oats with a fair business.
Prices advanced Nc early with corn, but re-
acted Ac and closed steady at about the same
as yesterday.
Provisions started easier. The opening
declines induced the selling out of quite
number of small lots on stop loss orders
Local scalping shorts who had had the cour-
age to sell yesterday and remain short over
night, took the offerings abandoned by the
tired longs and thus steadied the market
At the close September pork was just where
1t left off yesterday, and January 15c lower.
Lard closed with a loss of &c in both Septem-
Der and January, and ribs at a decline of
15c for September and 10c for January. Esti-
mated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, IT'S

MILLIONAIRE KIDNAPPED.
Desperate Attempt to Get Money by
California Brigands.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. flames
Campbell, the millionaire sugar planter
who mysteriously dropped out of sight
for two days this week, says he was
imprisoned and robbed by Oliver Win
throp, who attempted to secure the
capitalists signature to a $4,000 check
as the price Of his release. Winthrop,
who was tried and acquitted last year
of imprisoning woman in Laurel Hill
cemetery, of which he was assistant
superintendent has disappeared. Camp
bell says Winthrop decoyed him to his
house on a slight pretext. Two men
then pounced on Campbell and bound,
handcuffed and gagged him. They
lifted him from the floor to a bed, and
strapped him to it. His feet and hands
were tied to the four corners of the
bed, and a chain was passed over his
body and fastened to staples driven in
the floor. The cords were passed
around Campbell's body and Gsrawn so
tight that he could not move. For hours
Campbell was kept in this position,
the gag being in his mouth all the time.
On Tuesday morning the gag was
removed with the caution that
he would be killed If he made any
noise. He was told that he would have
to sign check or order for $4,000 be-
fore he would be released He was
shown a document, which they asked
MIN to sign and ne was also ordered
to write a note to his wife, asking her
to cash the check. and to give the
money to the bearer without asking
any questions.
Campbell says he refused to even
read the paper, telling his captors that
he did not care what they did to him.
He said he was an old man, and did
not have a great while to live any way
and that they could kill him before he
would agree to such an outrage He
did not care much FOR $4,000 he said,
but he would not re blackmailed or
robbed. His captors replied that they
would keep him strapped to the bed as
he was, until he did sign he order
Tuesday passed with no change in the
situation, either Winthrop or a masked
man guarding Campbell constantly
They offered him drink and food and
announced their willingness to give
him anything he wanted, out he re-
| fused everything for fear they intended
to poison him. He was given every at
tention, but was kept strapped to the
bed all the time and no opportunity for
escape was allowed. When Campbell
was first seized and thrown on the bed.
he says Winthrop took 1905 in coin from
his pocket and kept it. The younger
man, as far as Campbell knows, did not
get any of his money When the
| newsDaD ers published the fact that
Campbell had disappeared, the million
aire says his captors became frighten-
ed and after dark released him. The
police have description of Winthrops
confederate but no clew to his where
abouts.

DUN & CO.'S VIEW.
Week Has Seen a Tightening I'm
Eastern Money Markets.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Dun Co.'S review
of trade will say: The sensational collapse
of spectators at Chicago who controlled
Diamond Match and New York Biscuit stocks,
though followed by remarkably few failures,
brings a sudden change In monetary condi-
lions throughout the country. At least a
month earlier than had been expected Chi
cago has drawn heavily upon Illinois bank
balances here, and Withdrawals of other
Western funds may naturally result. Europe
was also moved to sell American stocks rath-
er freely so that the average of sixty most
active railroad stocks fell about s2.1S per
share, and the average Of trust stocks fell
about 81 So. The instant co-operton of money
interests with Chicago to restrict disturb
Rnces deserved praise and did much good but
1t is not possible to avoid some shock to pub
lie confidence and quick tightening Of East
ern money markets, which already shuts off
commercial loans almost entirely. The col
lapse also increased the caution of bankers
and other lenders regarding loans on Sc
curitieS of a similar character.
1t is important that the increase of mer-
chandlse exports, $500 coo, or II per cent
over last year for the weak and the decrease
of imports, 1000, or TT per cent still con-
tinues to limit the sum payable abroad. In
dve weeks the Increase of exports has been
81, 500, 600, or 16 per cent, and the decrease of
imports, 2O,OOO, or Is per cent, which helps
to balance accounts The movement of wheat
Is again large, Atlantic exports being 1,761 033
bu for the week, flour included, against
153,330 blu last year, and since July 1, $685.
704 bu, against ,919 blu last year. Con-
fiicting crop reports are as numerous and as
noisy as ever, but the more reliable mark up
winter wheat to 800. 600, 600 blu, and the move
ment tends to sustain such estimates for
since July Western receipts have been IT,
1872 bu, against $3.50 020 bu last year 1t
is not easy to believe that with prices Toe
lower than year ago. farmers have mar
keted from smaller crop 80 per cent more
wheat Corn Is also moving rapidly with
Western receipts of ,Os1 blu. against 1,661,
OLA last year.
The situation. as to cotton is doubtless crit
rfai 1r,1ar frf
duction in cottons does not bring a stronger
market and a few quotations are reduced.
Sales of light weight woolens are disappoint-
Ing, and mainly for cheap grades. and in
of woolens for the week were 2.746 400 pounds
against 6,25S,S00 last year, and 9,27, 700 in
Failures for the week have been 24o in the
United States, against 225 last year and 80 in
Canada. against 4S last year.

TRADE STAYS SLOW
BRADSTREET'S REPORTS CONDI-
TIONS IN NEARLY ALL LINES
AS UNCHANGED,
CREDITS BEING CUT DOWN
IN MANY CENTERS LOANS NOT
MADE so FREELY AS HERE
TOFORE.
SOME IMPROVEMENTS REPORTED.
JObbers at Pittsburg and baltimore
Are Experiencing an Improve
ment In General Trade.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7-Bradstreet's
will say: In nearly all lines trade is
unchanged; in some departments life
less. South and Southwest the heat
had an unfavorable influence, but mer-
chants in all directions continue to buy
for needs only While 1t is too early
for fall trade to assume large proper
lions, distribution of clothing and shoes
at Chicago has improved somewhat, al
though less active than one year ago.
At several centers bankers have pre-
ferred not to loan as freely as hereto
fore. Merchants not wishing to be re-
fused have accordingly curtailed their
requests for accommodations. Mer-
camille collections are slow, in some in
stances more difficult to make. Re-
newed scrutiny Of credits has had an
effect in restricting the same.
Iron and steel industries remain ex-
cessively dull. Makers of pig are pill
ing stock. Large lots could be obtained
at concessions. Cotton yarn manufac-
turers have agreed to curtail produc-
ton 80 per cent during August and
owing to lack of demand western pack
ing house employees have been laid off.
There is no improvement in wool and
some Philadelphia mills have shut
down. Cotton goods remain unchanged,
notwithstanding the higher price for
cotton.
Comparatively favorable reports con-
corning general trade are more numer-
Gus than in preceding weeks. Pitts
burg jobbers report a slight increase
in the volume of trade, and at Balti-
more there is a marked improvement,
with jobbers receiving orders freely.
Exports of wheat flour included as
wheat from both coasts of the United
States this week amount to 2,747,0O0
bushels, as compared with 2,648,000
bushels last week; $780, 900 bushels in
the corresponding week one year ago;
3,417 900 bushels two years ago, and
with 5,01S,0O0 bushels in the like week
of 1893.
Bushes failures throughout the
United States this week number 269,
q decrease compared with one week
ago, when the total was 294. The fall
ing off is principally in the middle and
New England states. AS compared
with one year ago, this weeks total
shows an increase of 60, and with two
years ago an increase of Y. In the
first week of Aug, 1893. during the
panic, the total number of failures was
474. There are thirty-five business
failures reported from the Canadian
dominion this week, compared with
thirty-seven last week, thirty-one in
the week one year ago and forty two
years ago.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-08

of the stock market will say: During the
past week speculation in the New York mar
ket has shown renewed bearish tendencies,
ton and general decentralization of prices.
The disturbance at Chicago, the expectation
of higher money. the political situation. and
the fact that railroad earnings are becoming
decidedly unsatisfactory, were all used by
the bear party with more or less effect upon
prices. The most influential people in the
street are not giving any apparent protection
to their stock specialties, and the public is
taking no part whatever in the market, the
declines in prices attracting no buying what
ever except for London account. The latter
market, however, has not exhibited the same
lean securities that it showed for some weeks
past.
