excellent comedy and is replete
with catchy songs, pretty girls,
original music and clever dances.

WHEAT WILL REACH 1925
GOV. MOUNTS ESTIMATE STANDS
TILL NEXT HARVEST TIME.
The Year 1898, He Says, VIII He a
Great One for Live Stock, Par
ticularIy Sheep.

Long before Governor Mount became
known in politics. he was known as a sue
cessful farmer and he has often said that
his success was in large measure due to
the study of general conditions that enabled
him to predict with some accuracy the
trend of the markets and prices
Il noticed yesterday" said the Governor
yesterday afternoon, that the wheat mar
ket fell yesterday. I have not seen any
quotations to-day, but If it did not rise
again, it is bound to do so in time. These
slumps are to be expected in the specula-
tive market at intervals, when successful
spectators take their profits, but the trend
of the price of wheat is upward and it will
reach $l25 before the next harvest. Those
who thresh early next year will do we'll
for there will be a great increase of acre
age due to the high prices and if we have
good crops there is bound to be fall in
price next year.
Live stock, next year, however, will be
extremely valuable and predict one of the
liveliest sheep markets that we have ever
had. In round numbers there are but 49,
COO, 900 sheep in this country, very many less
than we have ever had before and the
higher prices of wool and mutton are going
to make people run over each other next
year to get stock sheep. The rise in beef
cattle has already begun. The depressed
prices have caused a decrease from over
81 100000 cattle in 1892 to 30,00000O present
and yet our population has been increasing
right along and the demand this year is
great and will become greater. | believe
we shall enjoy several years of better prices
farm products all around

to one vote only except on questions affect
ing the purchase or disposal of real estate.

MARVELLOUS SOLDIER RIDERS.
Buffalo Bill Has strengthened HIS
show in This Respect.

Buffalo Bills Congress of Rough Riders
and Wild West entertainment will be at the
old show grounds, west of the river to-
morrow.
This year Colonel Cody brings his enter
tainment reinforced in many particulars
Since his last visit here the scope of the
subject of Craftsmanship has been enlarged
to include the primitive riders of all ma
tons down to the military nations most
celebrated for the extra cavalry. The
American Indian, South American G2uchos
the Russian Cossacks, the Hunga rian
CZikos Texas Vauqueros, Riffian Arabs and
Ruralles represent the primitive eques-
TRANS, while the English lancer, United
States cavalryman, German cuirassier and
veterans of Uncle Sans artillery show the
status Of the military and brings the ex-
hibiton 'up to date" in all that pertains
to man and horse.
This season marks the first appearance
with the Wild West of the detachment of
veterans from Captain Thorpes light bat
terry of the Fifth United States Artillery
This detachment is made up of genuine
soldiers-not performers and they drill
with marvellous skill and precision They
have two siX-pOunderS. having a war his
tory each drawn by six horses and to see
them whirl around in full career, unIimber
the guns and come into battery is a sight
well worth going a long way to witness
Their firing is like clock work and both
pieces are discharged exactly at the
same moment that only one report is dis
tingushable
Quickness and precision in the drill how
ever, are to be expected of Uncle Sans
train soldiers. but the surprising thing these
men do is their driving. On each side of
the arena six stakes are driven into the
ground in two rows, the dis
only a few inches greater than
the length of the axles of the gun car
riages. Between these rows the cannon
are driven. and if they swerve from one
side to the other to the extent of a couple
of inches the stakes on that side will he
displaced. To get through at a walk with
out knocking down a stake seems difficult
but these artillerymen accomplish it with
their teams gallOping like fire horses. The
! heavy cannon bound and sway over the
uneven ground, Whir around corners on
two wheels and thrash about so violently
that to avoid hitting the stakes appears
an utter impossibility, but in not one trial
out of a dozen is a stake displaced or even
touched.
Artillery driving of this sort was a fea-
ture of the English military tournament
which was given at Chicago during the
Columbian Exposition, and subsequently, in
Madison-square Garden, in New York but
it was never so brilliantly executed as IL is
by the battery now With the Wild West
show. The English soldiers and their well
smooth surface to perform their evolutions
on and yet they met with numerous ac-
cidents and several men were seriously in
jured and at least one killed. by the falling
and tanging up of the teams or the over
turning of the gun carriages.

SAVED BY CORSET STAY
ALONZO TAYLOR'S BULLET. AIMED
AT EMMA MCGEE, GLANCED OFF.
with One of the Rescue Mis-
sion Converts.

Emma MCGEE. a young woman who is
well known about the Rescue Mission. on
South street was attacked by jealous
lover about o clock yesterday evening and
narrowly escaped the murderous wrath of
Alonzo Taylor. It was a steel corset stay
that doubtless saved the young woman S
life The shooting occurred on Louisiana
street, between East and Noble.
The MCGEE girl is about twenty years of
age. She is quite pretty and is very popu-
lar about the Rescue Mission where she
is well known. The girls home is at St.
Paul, Ind, but she spends much of her
time in this city She is poor, and when
out of employment is always received at
the Rescue Mission Home. She had been
away from the city for some time, but
yesterday came up for visit and to look
for employment. She called at the mission
early in the afternoon and told the assistant
matron she would go out for a while. but
would return. According to the story of
the girl she followed from the home
by Alonzo Taylor, a recent mission con-
vert. She has known Taylor for some time
and it was known at the mission that he
was greatly attached to the girl 1t seems.
however, she has been trying to get rid
of him.
Near the corner of South and Delaware
streets, Taylor accosted the girl and they
had few minutes talk. She says aylor
told her he believed he would so to his
room and blow out his brains. He told her
he had a revolver, and she left him. Two
hours later while the girl was at the
house of a family named Young, ON Louis,
lana street, near East Taylor appeared,
and without a word drew a pistol ana he
gan shooting. The weapon was directed to-
ward Emma Niece and she ran scl canning
from the house. Taylor is, said 10 nave
fired five or six shots Only one of the
shots came near taking effect. 1t struck
the girl in the right side Just below the
armpit. Fortunately he hall struck a
steel in her corset and glanced Off Aside
from the slight bruise the girl was unin-
jured. She was taken to the mission home
and cared for by those in charge. The peo-
pie at the mission say she is a good girl
and has always led an honest life.
Taylor escaped and has not yet been cap
tured. Last July, it is claimed he was
sent to the worl<hOuse for assault and bat
terry, becoming involved in a row over the
MCGEE girl The latter gave the police a
picture last night to aid in the Identification
of Taylor 1t was a photograph of herself
and Taylor taken together.

GHOULS ON THE SCENE
MRS. SCARLETT HAD $50 ON HER
PERSON WHEN SHE WAS KILLED.
The Money Was TaI<en-Mrs. Walker,
of Spruce street, Loses Some Dia-
mOnds--A Factory Robbery.

1t has just transpired that robbery,
worthy of a ghoul was committed on the
day that Mrs. Emma Scarlet was killed
by a street car at the corner of Massachu-
sets avenue and Liberty street. The po-
lice have been working on the case, but
have kept their own counsel. SO far no
clew has been obtained and the robbery is
a mystery.
The body Of Mrs. Scarlet was robbed.
When she started for the drive she had a
pocketbook containing $50. When the ex-
element of the accident had somewhat
subsidized a search was made for the pocket
book, but it could not be found. No trace
of it has ever been discovered, though half
of the detective force has been at work on
the case and everything that has the prom
Use of furnishing a clew was thoroughly IN
Vestigated.
Mrs. Scarlett's friends think that the
purse was picked up in the vicinity of the
wrecked carriage by some one in the crowd
which collected Immediately after the col
lision. The pocketbook was attached to
belt which Mrs Scarlet wore, and the
supposition is that it became unattached
and fell in the street. The police are trying
to ascertain the names of everybody who
was in the crowd.
