CHARGED WITH FRAUD.
Warrants Issued for the Arrest of a
Bank Cashier.

SIOUX CITY Qa), Jan. 22.-Warrants
for the arrest of Cashier E. p. Stone of
the defunct Sioux City Savings Bank
We're issued to-day. The depositOrs
counted on $4,000 of cattle paper in the
bank vaults as among the best assets.
An investigation failed to discover
either the cattle or the makers of the
notes, and the depositors feared that
Stone had forged them. Reports that
he had fed increased the excitement,
and to-day his arrest was resolved on
by the depositors. He is charged with
forgery, making false reports to the
State Auditor and Withdrawing the
banks money for his own use, and Civ
ing in return worthless securities.

Buried the Devil in Secret.

The colored preachers who have
been conducting the exciting religious
services in the neighborhood of Green
Vile, Mountville and Cross Hill, S. c.,
announced Sunday that they had sue
cceded in burying the devil at mid
night. AS soon as the sacred bell had
been placed in position at Cross Hill
Brother Yoakum announced that they
would have to be about their work
quickly, otherwise the profane pres
ence of the whites, which had driven
them from Mountville, would force
their removal from this place also.
ITO hesitate, " said Brother Yoakum,
"would be to initiate Moses when he
smote the rock twice, as if doubling
the Lords willingness to answer the
first stroke. Then we would be forced
into forty years pilgrimage as he
was, and the burial Of Satan will be
reserved for our children, and we will
have no part in the blessed work. To-
night the Lords will must be done.
Brother Yoakum announced that
with five other brothers he would re-
tire before midnight and attend to the
obsequies in secret. Meantime tie
multitude sang and prayed until about
half-past twelve, when Brother Yoa-
kun reappeared and said "Bredren
youse now free. De debbil am buried.
Let us all 90 home and live right, for
dere's no debbil to tempt youse any
noah"

Prosperity for Farmers.

Assistant Secretary Brigham, of the
Agricultural Department, expresses
the opinion that the American farmers
this year would receive in the aggre-
gate from four to five hundred mil
lion dollars in excess Of what they re-
ceived last year for their farm pro-
ducts. Colonel Brigham also predict
ed that the increase in the price of
farm products would benefit the labor
ing element.
THE price of labor" he said, "did
not decline with the price of farm pro-
ducts, and for some time the farmer
was forced to pay as much for the SER
vices of those who did this work as
ever, while his receipts were cut in
two. Inasmuch as wages did not de-
cline, see no reason why they should
be expected to rise to correspond with
the advance Of farm products, which
are now bringing only fair prices.
Still the laboring man will be bene-
fted by this advance in prices. The
farmer will discharge his Indebtedness
and make improvements which will
require labor. He will purchase more
of the products of labor, putting vast
amount of money in circulation, and
this will create demand for labor in
all lines, and men who have been with
out employment or only partially en-
ployed will work full time at fair
wages"

Senator Wellington and his State
organization were decisively defeated
in the Maryland Republican conven-
ton at Ocean City last week. The
primaries that had been held in Bal
ttimore, and won by Senator Yelling
toms candidate, were set aside, and
new primaries were ordered. Mr..
Wellington's plans were rejected by
the convention and his leadership re-
pudiated. Congressman Mudd led the
fight against him. The Senator will
probably resign as State chairman and

From present indications the world
will go hungry OF eat something else
beside wheat. The United States can
not furnish all the wheat that will be
needed by foreign countries to supply
the deficit, even though the price
jumped to $3.50 a bushel. 1t simply
has not the grain. AS is shown by the
preceding table, the wheat demand of
foreign countries is 412,000,000 bush
els, and to meet this demand, an in
creased weekly importation into Eu-
rope of 10000 bushels over the i'm
ports of last year will be required.
During the last cereal year, the
wheat growing countries of the world
exported to all countries 100000
bushels less than the estimated require
ments for the next eleven months. To
supply this increase of 100, 900 bushels
week, heavy demand will be made
on the United States and Canada. At
least 100000 bushels will be called
for. Canada can supply the 24,OOO,-
900, and the United States will be
asked for the 2OO,OOO,000 bushels.
The crop in this country will, 1t Is
thought, be about 5O0,O00,0O0 bushels.
For home consumption and for seed
purposes 375,OOO,000 bushels are re-
quired. This leaves but l25 600, 900
bushels to meet the demand for 2OO,-
100000 bushels
For several weeks the Agricultural
Department has been busy gathering
information concerning the wheat crop
Of the world. The results have been
obtained from official as well as unotfi-
cial sources, and the following data
is part of the results obtained. The
report will state that, taking one coun-
try with another, the deficiency as com
pared with an average crop will be
very large. Such importing countries
as Great Britain, France, Germany and
Austria will have occasion to import
much more than usual, while the eX-
porting countries, outside of the Uni
ted States, will be able to contribute
much less than their usual supply.
Russia, Hungary and the Danubian
and Balkan principalities have all less
than average crops, the deficiency being
very large in the principalities named.
The Indian crop, harvested last spring,
was nearly.24 per cent below the av-
erage, and though high prices may
draw away part of the scanty supply
the contribution from this source must
necessarily be small. The wheat ex-
porting countries of the Southern hem
isphere have less than usual and their
next harvest is several months away.
