mulgated uniform rates under a uniform
policy. The three classes of business are
bank burglary, residence burglary and
store burglary. The standard rate on
banks is 1 per cent per annum, with dis
counts for certain conditions as to quail
ity of safes, populations of towns, watch
service, alarms. etc. On general house
hold goods, personal effects, etc., the
rate is SIS for the first $1,000 and $3.50 for
each additional $1,000; on watches, jew
elry, ETC., in excess Of insurance under
the first item, SIS per $1,000 for special
articles each Of value exceeding $3.50.

The United States supreme court has
decided to examine for itself a case in
volving life insurance policy of 800, 900,
which 1t was supposed had been finally
settled by the decision of the court of
appeals for the ninth circuit.
It was an unusual case In many re-
spects. One Phinney, resident of Sc
attle, took out a policy of 100000 in the
Mutual Life Insurance company Of New
York, the annual premium being about
$4,000 which he agreed to pay In advance.
At the end Of the first year he could not
pay the premium, and later surrendered
the policy. which was cancelled. Three
years later he died. Some one informed
his widow and executrix. Nellie Phinney,
that the policy in question had never
been legally Cancelled. because q certain
notice required by the New York law
preliminary to the lapsing Of a policy,
premiums on which are payable in ad-
vance. had not been sent by the company

CHICAGO MARKETS
The Days Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, April 26.-The prime motive
for the action of all the grain markets was
the prospect of a settlement of the Greco
Turkish war and a sharp decline at Liver
pool. For few moments after the open
ing wheat had all the ear-marks of
panic and only for the fact that trading
was confined mostly to big operators, the
smaller fry having been pretty effectually
cleaned out last week, the market would
probably have developed into a general
rough and tumble struggle to unload. Most
of the trading is now in July and that op-
ton opened with a rush of selling orders
at 74M73A against Saturdays closing price
of 1914. Even at that remarkable slump
it was difficult to sell and in a moment
1914 was quoted. That proved to be the
bottom for the time being. The decline
brought in enough buyers to prevent any
further decline and as a general thing the
price showed tendency toward improve
ment during the remainder of the fore
noon. Two things were held before the
eyes of the bears. Liverpool opened at
only I'd advance and declined sharply at
once, closing about 21ad lower. Added to
this were reports of probable Intervention
of the powers and speedy termination
of the Greco-Turkish war.
AS much of last weeks advance had been
caused by that struggle such reports had
an instantaneous effect. Other reasons for
a decline were present In abundance, about
the only comfort the bulls had being in the
nature of bad crop reports. Minneapolis
and Duluth receipts were SOB cars against
500 year ago. The quantity on ocean
passage was increased 200. 900 bushels. The
worlds shipments for the week were $780,
coo bushels. The visible supply decreased
only 77S,000 bushels instead of from 1000, 900
bushels to 100000 bushels, as had been
expected. The market recovered to 74is
gradually then the hammering COM
menced. California reporting the long
looked for rain as falling. This destroyed
the last hope of the bulls and a general
selling movement ensued, which carried
the price down to rs. The absence of any
great demand for cash wheat here or at the
seaboard at such a heavy concession in
price was one of the latter discouraging
features. July closed at 73Aq7S%. Corn
was weak. principally through sympathy
with wheat, but also because of the favor
able weather and prospective larger re-
ceipts. Selling was quite general and prices
declined steadily. Oats were weak, fol-
lowing the sharp break in wheat and corn
and the favorable weather west kept prices
going. Later a slight recovery occurred
but prices soon dropped again. Provisions
were weak on a small amount of business
Packers were liberal bidders for the mod
crate offerings on soft spots, but such
times as they were out of the market 1t was
influenced by the grain weakness.
The leading futures closed as follows:

WICKED OUTLAW.
Freeman Nadeau Captured at
Last In Aroostook.

Had Long Bean Wanted by United States
Authorities Bold Ruse of Marshal Pres
cOtt---Desperad Had sworn Never to BE
Captured Alive.
Portland, Me- Feb. 2S.-Freeman Ma
aeau, the outlaw, who has long defied
hrrest, is now in Jail. United States
Deputy Marshal Prescott brought him
here last night.
Nadeau was taken in his cabin in the
woods % miles from Ashland, on Satur-
day, after desperate encounter. For
many years Nadeau has been wanted
by the United States authorities for
selling liquor without a United States
license. His brother, George Nadeau,
shot United States Deputy Marshal Nc
Nally, when that officer attempted
to arrest him, and Freeman Nadeau had
threatened to kill any officer who at
tempted his arrest. A week ago Deputy
Mashal Pre- scott went after Nadeau with
warrant. When he was near the out
laws house, Nadeau stepped out of the
woods and covered Prescott with rifle
Nadeau said: Il know yoA, Prescott, and
II you make a move or take a step to-
wards me you are a dead man." Pres
colt replied: Il know that you've got
the drop on me this time, but I'll take you
to Portland yet"
Nadeau said he would never be taken
alive and told Prescott to get out of the
woods or he would be a dead officer.
The deputy marshal let a week pass
and finally went to Nadeaus cabin in
the woods disguised as a lumberman.
There were 10 or IL Frenchmen in the
hut with Nadeau. The outlaw did
not recognize Prescott and asked him
to shake dice for the drinks Pres
colt shook dice for some minutes and
finally grappled Nadeau and threw him
on the floor of the hut. The outlaw
sprang to his feet and started for his
rifle, but Prescott struck the man over
the head with his billy and knocked
him unconscious. He was then double
ironed and brought to Portland.
Nadeau will be arranged in the United
States court for selling liquor without
a United States license, for assault
with intent to KILL in two cases. and
for many other crimes.
