THE " HEAT MARK EFT.
Wheat Opened This Morning at 0s
Cents for September, n Jump of 5
Cents Over the Closing Figure
of Yesterday.

Chicago, Aug. 2l.-The opening price
OF wheat on the regular board was 9S
cents for September, jump of cents
as compared with yesterdays final figure.
Ten minutes after opening, wheat was
selling at 971a for September and SO for
December. Lynn sold million bushels
of wheat around 81. His selling stopped
the advance. The widest excitement was
in coarse grain. Corn was up nearly 3
cents bushel. In oats the 20 rise was
sympathetic of course with wheat. The
market yielded cent on selling by eleva-
tor interests, and the prediction of warm
er and showery weather for all of the corn
states. Before 11:30 September wheat
touched 80 cents, December, 9S4 cents.
DOLLAR MARK REACHED.
Chicago.-At AS the dollar mark was
reached and Schwarts g. Dupee paid hun
dred cents for lot of wheat. When this
red letter record had been made, there
was temporary reaction to 500, but
moment before the close the price was
back again to 99B. When the closing
bell rang at noon the official record was
9919 for September, 81 cents net gain,
upward, with yesterdays quotation.
NEW YORK WHEAT MARKET.
New York.-The first recorded sale of
wheat was made at 1O2, representing an
advance of 25s over the official close.
Later it whizzed to 1031a. From there it
fell again to 1924, but subsequently, it
bobbed back again. Gables from Liver
pool came "a 358 higher, and added fire
to the bull movement. Foreign houses,
however, were not so unanimous on the
buying side as on yesterday. just before
the regular closing, wheat branched out
into excited trading with an attendant
rise to the highest point of the morning,
1863 for September. Corn was also very
active and strong at 361s for September.

OUTLAWS AT WORK.
Black Jacks Gang Creating Trouble
and X illing People in western So
zorro and Grant Counties.

Last Spring, when Black Jack was
killed by Deputy Higgins posse, it was
hoped that that notorious gang had
been broken up, and the southwestern
part of the territory would not be fur
ther harrassed by the outlaws, but it
seems this hope was not to be realized.
From the time that Black Jack was
killed nothing was heard of the re-
naming members of the gang, un
less they killed George Smith in western
Socorro county, which deed is pretty gen.
orally credited to them, until last week,
when they renewed operations in north
western Grant county, by ambushing
Deputy United States Marshal Shaw near
Clifton and killed his horse; since then
they have been quite active.
On the night of August 13, ON Mule
Greek, they blew up house belonging
to Owen Wilson, in another attempt to
kill Shaw. At that time, Wilson, Shaw,
Piper and Luty,. a party in search of the
gang, were in the house, and as the men
ran out, seven shots were fred at them
from the dark. Early Thursday morning
a man by the name of Miller was am
bushed on Mule Creek, and Shot In both
legs, apparently with shot gun. The
same party that shot Miller was pursued
by posse of men the day before, and Ed
Moss, one of the party, was shot and
killed. This fight occurred at the Frisco
river in Socorro county, about seven
miles from Dry Creek.
The men who are making the trouble
are supposed to be Tom Anderson, Dud
Atkins, Bud Upston and Tom Kitchum,
although some time ago it was reported
that Kitchum had been killed.
At present Sheriff Bursum of Socorro
county, and possee, James Shaw, Sheriff
McAfee and posse of Grant county, and
Cipriano Baca, are on the trail of the
men. Deputy Marshal H. W. Loomis
went to Socorro last night to get full
particulars of the various fights, and is
expected home tonight, and then some
thing more definite will undoubtedly be
known.

An English Opinion.

London, Aug 21.-The Westminster
Gazette referring to the rise in wheat
says:
ut is an unmerited stroke of good luck
for President McKinley's government,
which ought to have been overtaken by
swift calamity, for shamelessly paying
election debts to the trusts, by the pass
age of the Dingley bill" At the same
time the Gazette finds comfort in the al.
legation shat the Bryanits are made to
look foolish"

END OE TARIFF HEARINGS.

The tariff hearings by the ways and
means committee which were com
menced two weeks ago will be concluded
today. after which, it is presumed, the
committee will at once enter upon the
practical work of framing tariff bill.
This will probably consume all the time
of the committee at the present session,
but it is expected that II measure will be
fully prepared for presentation at the
extra session of the Fifty-fifth congress
to he called Immediately after the in
stallation of the new administration.
The ways and means committee has
obtained great deal of useful informa-
ton and suggestion through these hear
ings. 1t has learned the condition of the
manufacturing industries, the effect upon
them of the existing law and what they
desire from the next congress. Those
who have followed these hearings will
agree that the committee acted judi
ciously in inviting them because it can
now go on with its work with clearer
knowledge of what is necessary to be
from customs duties and give reasonable
protection to industries which have suf-
fered under the operation of the exist
ing law. 1t is needless to say that the
hearings disclosed a desire on the part
of some interests for extreme tariff leg
isation which it Is neither the purpose
of the republican party nor the dictate
of sound policy to adopt, but in the main

be made in the taliff We're not radical or
immoderate There was. indeed, quite
practical unanimity in favor of substitut-

some interests recognized the fact that
the consideration of revenue could not
be lost sight of in the framing of new
tariff measure. 10 increase the income
of the government, 80 as TO put an end
to deficits, viii be the primary purpose
of tariff revision. and so far as increased
protection would not interfere with this
it will be given. 1t Is quite probable,
therefore, that some of the schedules of
the present tariff will undergo very lit
tie change and 1t Is even possible that
some existing duties will be lowered.
But the industries which have been more
or less seriously damaged by the present
law will be judiciously safeguarded
against further injury and given an op'

STATE MONEY AND THE BANKS.

Hastings Democrat: The state board in
vested in 100000 worth of Saunders county
AZ per cent bonds the other day. That
is the proper way to dispose of school fund
accumulations. The board might also in
vest this money temporarily in state war
rants, which are perfectly safe and yield
a greater revenue. Interest should be
stopped on n million or more of outstanding
registered warrants, and the treasurer
which does it will be blessed with the peo-
ple's benediction, even if 1t isn't strictly
legal to use the educational funds for this
purpose.
Grand Island Independent: State Treas
urer BARLEY seems to get very little sym
pathy from the republican state press gen
orally for the manner in which he has
handled the state funds in the depository
banks. Because a weak populist depository
law made 1t possible to have transferred
to several weakling banks funds upon which
1t was possible to secure interest, while
there were outstanding warrants that should
have been paid. is no valid reason why
he should have permitted himself to have
placed the state and his party in such an
embarrassing position.
Auburn Granger: The officers OF the diff
ferent state depository banks in Nebraska
proceed on the theory that the deposits of
state money in their Institutions concern
only themselves and the treasurer and their
attitude toward the taxpayers arouses a
whole sheepshed full of suspicion that all
is not as it should be. If the treasurer
has been complying strictly with the law
In deposting state funds he need not keep
his acts from the people, and If depository
banks have complied with the law there
is no reason that they should seek to hide
their doing from the public and to so at

which included an assistant doorkeeper and
an assistant postmaster, 1t was proposed to
drop these two useless appendages, with the
aforesaid result.
York Times: An effort was made by an
unsophisticated populist to cut down the
number of senate employees by looping off two
who appeared to him to be superfluous. He
very soon learned, however that the re-
FORM, retrenchment and economy talk of the
populists is only to catch votes and that they
do not mean it. Senator Ritchie who made
the motion, had the concurrence of all the
republican members but only two of his
populist friends voted with him, nineteen OF
them voting to employ the two super
numeraries one of whom is new creation of
the populist party. Instead of cutting down
they add to the list of employees.
