Pit Nearly Goes Into n Panic.
Chicago. Nov. 4.-There was a very
| sensational break in wheat today and
an equally sensational rally. The De
| ce1nber option started at 95AG1s. Sud-
denly and without any apparent reason
at the time the price plunged Il cent
and cent at a time, to 917s cents. The
recovery was equally sensational, the
price advancing TO So cents again five
minutes after the drop. The sudden
ness and violence OF the fluctuations be-
wildered traders for a time 1t is gen.
orally believed that the break was but a
phase Of the fight which is on between
the grain elevator owners and the inter-
est known as the bull CLIQUE. The sell
ing appeared like an organized raid and
Tor time the pit was in a state ap-
preaching panic. The bull faction did
not take hold until December had
touched 90 cents and very little bidding
sent the price up again.

Currents weekly crop summary was
oearish, saying the widespread rains
had improved the wheat crop situation |
decidedly, the improvement being mark |
ed west of the Mississippi. The mar
ket became suddenly very weak. Very |
little offerings found no buyers and De- |
cenber was sold as low as 90 GEMS in |
a very few minutes. Several important |
lines were thrown over on the decline. |
The market rallied almost as fast as /
it had declined. The bull clique bought |
a 1.-THE on the break, and this was SUI |
fcient to advance the price TO 95. The
break was a rather mysterious one and |
seemed to Indicate an artificial position

CAPITOL COMMISSION WILL AWARD
CONTRACTS FOR THE SUPER
STRUCTURE.
CONTRACTORS FROM ABROAD
ARE EXPECTED TO COMPETE FOR
THE RICHEST PRIZE IN MANY
YEARS.
That Is the Hope of the Board
Granite, if Selected, May De-
lay 1t.

Today the state board Of capitol COM
missioners will open bids for the super
structure Of the new state capitol.
The commissioners will convene in
the morning in their office in the En-
dicott arcade for the transaction of
what business may come before them,
and at o'clock the bids will be OPEN
ed.
The superstructure covers such de-
tails as the outside walls of the state
house, the cross walls, the steel 9oor
beams and the roof Of the main build
ing up to height level with the plat
form of the dome. Later a separate set
OF bids will be received for the job of
constructing the dome itself. Chair
! man Charming Seabury, Of the commits
sion, just home from the East, seen
yesterday at his office, declared it
was impossible to tell how many bids
would be submitted, or by whom pre-
sented but the following is a list of
contractors who have obtained plans
from the commission, presumably upon
which to base their bids which will be
presented today: Lauer Bros, George
j. Grant, Hennessy Bros. & Cox, But
ler-Ryan company, st. Paul Foundry
company, Of st. Paul; Minnesota Sand
stone company, William Baxter, Gill

pany, New York; Brown-Ketcham Iron
works, Indianapolis; Snead & Co. Iron
works, Louisville; Milwaukee Bridge
and Iron works, Fred Andres & Co.,
Milwaukee,; o. J. King, Omaha
Included in this list are a number of
the representative contractors of the
state, who will thus be brought into
competition with some of the biggest
contractors from the East for the big
job which it is estimated will call for
an outlay of from 100000 to $1,000, 900
Of the states money
The bids, made up as they will be,
covering estimates on the various kinds
will require some time, and it is hard
ly expected that the successful con-
tractor will be designated by the board
in time to allow him to undertake the
big task before July l.
This Mr.. Seabury figures will allow
the big building to be rooted in two
years from this fall, barring unlocked
for delays, and the two years follow
ing that, it is estimated, will allow
due time for the completion Of the in
terror work, so that the state solons
who assemble in January, 1901, may be-
gin the task of making laws for the
great commonwealth of Minnesota in
her new and palatial legislative halls.
If it is found eXpedient to use gran
lite in the construction of the new cap
itol, the work must of necessity pro-
coed more slowly, and the above esti-
mate Of time necessary to finish the
building will not apply.

the persons having charge Of the burying
grounds were notified that the matter must
be attended to. An ordinance was also in
troduced in the board of aldermen and passed
by that body. When the measure reached
the assembly there was some objection as
to the number Of feet below the surface which
the ordinance provided interments, should be
made. Assemblyman Thompson went into an
extended argument on the question and the
ordinance was referred to the committee on
streets for investigation.
Yesterday the health department received
more complaints from residents in the neigh
borhood Of the cemeteries and another visit
was made to the scene. The report of the
inspector made to Health Commissioner Stone
was to the effect that practically nothing
had been done to improve the condition of
affairs. In one of the cemeteries an attempt
had been made to do something by placing
earth on about a dozen Of the graves. In
the other nothing had been done at ALL and
one new grave found where the body of
a child had been buried only eight inches
below the surface of the ground. An effort
will be made by the health department to
remedy the present state of affairs at once.

OLD GLORY WAVED.
Flag Day Generally Observed in the
CITY.

Flag day was observed yesterday in S. Paul
in the strictest sense of the term. The nat
ural inclination to give sign to the recognition
Of the day, augmented by the timely sugges-
ton of the g. A. R. veterans, who met on
Saturday, resulted in a generous display Of
flags yesterday all over the city.
In addition to- the already large number of
patriotic business people who daily throw
'Old Glory to the breeze, the people both
downtown and on the hill got in line and
flung out their bunting. While there was no
set exercise, the school children in many build
ngs were told of the especial propriety of
raising their flags for the day. Many of the
youngsters were told how Gen. Washington
had suggested the idea Of having a flag for
the country, how it had been slightly changed
and added to since his lifetime, until the event
came to mean something to them.
The residence portion OF the city showed
that the day was generally remembered On

foated proudly. all day, and even from humble
homes there was evident the red, viii and

Drowned Before Its Arrival,


Drowned Before Its Arrival
George w. Schlief was drowned in
the Mississippi river shortly after 8
o'clock yesterday morning. While the
drowning is supposed to be accidental
some Of the dead mans acquaintance
are of the opinion that it was a case
of suicide.
Schlief, who was forty-one years old
recently returned to st. Paul from Mil
waukee, where he had been for sew
eral months. He went to work for e
| w. Shirk in the livery sta BILE at the
Seven corners as buggy tender. He
appeared to be awaiting anXiouSly the
arrival Of a letter from Milwaukee, and
watched for the arrival Of the mail car
rier each time that official made his
rounds To his fellow associates he
said that he had been married while
in Milwaukee, and expected to hear
from his wife. Saturday he became
mCrose, and told one of the men at the
barn that he could not stand the un-
certainty any longer and intended to
drink. He evidently knew what he
was talking about, for a few hours
later he came back we'll intoxicated
and was discharged.
Sunday he called at the barn and re-
quested the wages due him. He also
| inquired if there was any letter for
him. There was no letter, but he was
given the money due him and he left
He did not return until yesterday
morning shortly before s o'clock He
had with him a tin pail and announced
that, as he had paid his debts and had
$1.50 left, he intended treating his
friends. He purchaser several pals of
beer and then left, taking the pail with
him. Before leaving he again inquired
if any letter had arrived for him, but
was told none had come. Leaving
the barn, Schlief walked to the river
near the dog pound at the foot Of
Chestnut street, evidently having the
beer pail filled On the road, as when
ne was drowned the bucket was on the
bank partly filled with beer.
Arriving at the water Schlief I'M
dressed and plunged into the river for
a swim. He called to several persons
! VINO We're standing on the bank that
he intended to swim across the river
and back. This he did, but when
within thirty feet Of the shore turned
and swan up the river Reaching q
point where the current is very strong
the swimmer was seen to suddenly
stop, throw up his hands, and shout
for help. moment later he sank
from sight beneath the water. Schiller

tives. including a brother and sister.
living here. About the same time that
Schlief was drowned the letter carrier
left at Shirk's barn a letter. 1t is
probably the one he was so anxiously
looking for, as 1t bears the post mark
Milwaukee, and is addressed in a
Woman's handwriting. 1t was ad-
dressed to George Snyder, which was
the name Schlief stated it would be
addressed to. Up to a late hour last
night the body had not been recovered.
