The WAR SCARE AND WHEAT
The Eastern Situation Keeps specn.
lators Guessing

lators GUESSING.
Chicago, Feb. 4.-The Times-Herald In
rs review and forecast OF the wheat mar
ket The war scare did for wheat
last week bou what was expected-added
TO its price. There was an advance of 3Iic
and not much reaction. The Englishmen,
kept rather Indifferent of the Cretan situ-
alton, which allayed the anxiety OF shorts
pm this side; but toward the close of the
week ever Liverpool began to wake up to
possible danger. Spectators have grown
lncredulous of European warsnews. There
have been enough g%roundless alarms to
make them 30. The Mediterranean situ-
alton is, however, as promising for a row
as any which has existed In years. ard 1t
ts likely to continue as threatening the
present week as 1t was the last.
The effect of the war scare on the specu-
lative situation has been to lessen the
short interest. Professionals, who operate
In a large way, have appreciated the peril
of having short lines out with such a risk
threatening. The scalpers, the spread
ers" and the so-called professionals every
where hav been acting cautiously. The
worlds stock of wheat hedged at Chicago
tE enough of itself to make q huge inter-
est. With all this extra caution the pro-
f%essional bear does on the hally some sell
Ing, the advances to him being taken as
insurance against the risk. A war would
stir the market sensationally, in spite of
all the curtailment which takes place.

For some a he was suspected of
having committed the crime himself.
He was tried INC sentenced to life Inn

suRMouHTMlH OBSTACLES
Progress q Building the Yankton
Bridge Is Slow.


Yankton, Feb. 24.-For months past
there mas been one obstacle in particu-
lar that has caused the engineers in
charge of the new railroad and bridge
work here q great deal OF trouble and
delay. The firm of Wilcox & Williams
alp wner of a piece of property upon
which IS located their elevator and lum-
Der yard. This land was very necessa-
ny to the new road as it lies in q direct
line with their proposed roadbed to the
bridge site. The owners of the proper
ty were well aware of the de~sirability
n set a price thereon which was ex-
horbitant and OF course it was not ac-
cepted. So for months the railroad peo-
pie have been doing their best to get
a satisfactory price set, and Saturday
Engineer Miller concluded negotiations
for ther right of way through this piece
OF ground, also for right of way through
the Quincy property, situated In the
same locality. The terms Of negctia-
ton are not as yet obtained. 1t Is now
stated that a clear Dad Is secured from
the Great Northern yards to the bridge
site. One by one, and gradu-
ally the obstacles are removed
from the way of the building OF the
railroad and bridge. 1t is now Won
dered by a great number Of people, that
when all the reported distractions are
removed, if removed they are, what
then viii be the excuse for furtha or de-
lay. As soon as one is removed another
is sure to bob W serenely. The $500, 900
worth of bonds which were forwarded
to England some seven weeks ago, and
which We're received and registered by
the Trust Company of London, ave
mart of them been returned to the
bridge company here, $780, G0 worth.
The other 500 900 were delivered to Mr..
Nation, as those in charge OF affairs
here say, was the contract between Mr..
Nation and the bridge company. Chief
Engineer Miller, Mr.. M. p. Gilman,
vice president, and Mr.. j. r. Hanson,
secretary of h Yankton Bridge COM
pany, all state in a local paper that they
are positive that the bridge is to be
built and that work will be commenced
within the next thirty days. The peo-
pie of Yankton have had numerous
similar promises made them during the
past four months and as far as ac-
tual work being done on the road or
bridge or any visible definite movement
in that direction with the exception of
the clearing OF the right of way,) we
are not one step nearer immediate work
than we were four months ago. 1t Is
the hope of all, though, h a this last
promise will ma%terialize.

Chamberlain, Feb. pa week OF
more ago a fire at Puckwana consumed
\ saloon of John Knight and the general

same block and destroyed the remain
der Of it. Among the buildings de-
stroyed were the Nelson house, and
the Puckwana Press Printing office.
An old gentleman named Noodle and

yesterdays fire. The town has no fire
protection. There is little doubt that
the fire vas of incendiary origin.

Promises to Re a Hot Tim

Pierre, Feb. 23.-Yesterday being
W~ashington's birthday, there was no
session of the legisla ture.
A hot time is promised in the house
today. The friends of Judge Plowman.
who supported Pierre in it's capital re-
moval fight during the first days of the
session and who expected support for
their senatorial candidate, have had a
change of heart and will support the
movement for the removal Of the capitol
to Huron. In exchange Huron is to fur
nish enough republican votes to help the
populistS out on their legislative meas
ures. The utmost exertion Is being made
by the populists to accomplish this and
the poll of the members last night shows
the vote will be about a tie. The situa-
ton is critical for the populists, and
they will make any alliance that will
permit them to become masters of the
situation. All of their pet measures
have been held up till now and unless
they do form such a compact they are
likely to adjourn without accomplishing
anything.
The fusionists were in caucus on legis-
lative matters.

FoRAKERs LEADERSHIP GONE
Could Not Down Hanna and Now
He Stands Alone. =

Cincinnati, o., Feb. Ex-Governor
BushnelIs announcement that he wil
appoint Mr.. Hanna to succeed senator
Sherman is well received by republican,
politicians here. Since George b. Cox.
the head of the republican machine, ans
nounced himself as favoring Hanna's
appointment, there has been little ppo
sition. Cox's declaration caused a Won
derful change of sentiment, not only III
Cincinnati, but throughout the state.
If there is such a thing as an anti-Mc-
kinley element in Ohio, Cox is its leadel.
but he denies that there is any such fac
ton. q
1t was not the original intention of
Bushnell to appoint Hanna. His choiu
was Charles L. Kurtz. who would a
served Sherman's ~unexpired term, and
then Bushnell was to be a candidate.
This was also Forakers program, but
CoX's unexpected declaration left hardly
any one in Ohio but Bushnell and Fora
ker to pos Hanna. Bushnell could
not Withstand the tremendous pressure,
and has yielded in spite Of Foraker. who
now finds the Ohio leadership wrested
from him.
Hanna will have no republican opposl-
ton in his candidacy for the full term,
and John r.. Mclean will be the demo.
cratic aspirant. Calvin S. Brice is OUT
of the race. Bushnell will now be re-
nominated for governor, but he will
probably never be a senator.
Senator Foraker, When requested for
his views last night, sent word that he
had retired. Said George b. Cox:
THE appointment Of Hanna is the
only thing thai can be done. He is the
logicad man. We want harmony in Ohio
and must have it."
