WORLDS GRAIN SHORTAGE
United States and Canada Must Sup
ply the Deficit.

Buda Pest, Aug. 30.-The worlds grain
deficits are estimated as follows:
Rye, 7,0000G0 hectolitres; barley, 49,
900; oats, 5S,000,000 corn, So, 600 900.
The report states that many export
ing countries such as European Tur-
key, Egypt, Australia and Austria
Hungary will either be unable to export
grain or will be compelled to import
while others, including British India,
Argentina and Chile, will have their
wheat export considerably reduced.
The favored countries are the United
States and Canada, the latter of which
will soon be one of the most important
of the exporting countries. its excess
over last years production being 7,000,-
600 bushels of wheat and 20, ,000, 600 bush
els of oats. Its output of all sorts of
grain was 10000, 900 bushels.
The yield of wheat in Great Britain
this season is so. 900 bushels against
90, 900 900 last year. The wheat area of
British India is reduced from %, ,000, 900
acres to 100000 and the wheat yield
from 234, 600, 900 bushels to 202, ,000, 900
bushels. The United States, which has
reduced it's area sown in oats by 2.O00,-
600 acres, that sown in corn by 1,000,-
900, while that in other grain remains
nearly unchanged, will, nevertheless,
dispose of 534, 200, 900 bushels of wheat
against 434, ,O00, 900 bushels last year, al
lowing the expectation of 160 900, 900
bushels of wheat, while the exports of
corn will probably be SO, 600, 900 bushels
greater than those of last year. The
propectS for oats and barley are less
favorable than in 1896. The price of
bread in Austria has already risen so

STOOPS CASE AGAIN.
Now Marjory Wallace or Stoops
Wants a Divorce or Alimony.

The Stoops abduction case has put
on new phase. Marjory Wallace,
who is responsible for Stops convic-
ton, has brought suit for divorce
through Galen Nichols. 1t was the
theory of the prosecution in the case
that the couple were not married and
remarkable.
Attorney j. G. Hale of Chicago arriv-
ed in Topeka today, bringing with him
a hope that the divorce suit would re-
suit in having the Stoops case reopen
ed and the young contractor being re-
leased from. the state penitentiary,
where he is working in a coal
mine. He was disappointed, for Judge
said it was too late to take action, be-
cause the motion for new trial had
already been overruIed and Stoops SEN
fenced.
Attorney Nichols said today that
while the divorce suit was commenced
it was simply precautionary measure.
There is a possibility" said he, that
the marriage was legal and to remove
any such contingency the suit was
commenced. 1t is not an admission that
they were legally married. y
Miss Wallace or Mrs. StoopS says in
her petition for divorce that Stoops is
worth $4,000 or $4,000, and she asks
for $1,000 alimony.
The attorney has not yet given up
hope of having Stops released from
the penitentiary and he today ordered
a copy of the record made so that the
case may be taken to the supreme
court.

TO OPEN FILLMORE STREET
Mr.. d. E Eckart Makes Some Gener-
Gus Donations

Fillmore street is to be opened south
of Huntoon street. This is what the
people who live in that neighborhood
have been working for for many years.
The committee on streets and walks of
the city council decided this morning
that the work should be done.
Mr.. D. E. Eckart, who owns the land,
has made a generous proposition to the
council, and the committee on streets
and walks has decided that a recon-
mendation to open the street will be
made.
The recommendation will be adopted
without a doubt, and then the work
will be done.
Mr. Eckart proposes to donate 100
feet of ground to be used as a street,
between Huntoon street and Douthitt
street. Beside that he will give Is feet
off the south portion of his block to
widen Douthitt street from Western
avenue to Fillmore street, and will also
give seven and half feet the whole
length of the block for an alley.
Chairman Drew of the streets and
walks committee said that he consider
ed the proposition an excellent one and
thought that it gave the city an oppor-
tunity to get rid of a troublesome prob

Only 20 Members in the T. A. A. W
That Oppose the Parade.

Mr.. w. H. Canniff, who was appointed
marshal of the bicycle division of the
Floral parade, has resigned. Mr.. Cannif
is a member of the T. A. A. W., the
wheelmen's association in this city which
decided that there should be no bicycle
division in the Floral parade for no other
reason than it offered a chance for a
quarrel among the members, and it was
either resign or get out of the organiza-
ton. Mr.. Canniff chose the former.
But strange to say, Mr.. H. L. Robinson,
marshal in charge of the Floral parade,
says that there will be a bicycle division
in the Floral parade and that ample pro-
vision will be made to give the partici-
pants plenty of room in which to coun>
termarch if they desire. Mr.. Robinson
said today:
Il can't understand the action of the
T. A A. w. in refusing to go into the
Floral parade, but still I hardly think
the bicycle division will fall fiat because
this decision was reached. The T. A A
w. has membership of about 30, and
am convinced that there are at least 1000
bicycles in Topeka. Now, as marshal of
the Floral parade, extend an invitation
to all of the cyclers of Topeka regardless
of any organization to go into the pa
rade. Every provision will be made to
keep the crowd back and give the riders
plenty of room to countermarch of they
want to countermarch. It's too bad to
have bicycle division when the T. A A.
w. as an organization decided that we
mustn't, but I'm afraid that's just what
will happen. Handsome prizes will be
offered for the best decorated wheels in
this portion of the Floral parade"

ON THE BRINK OF RUIN.
Peru is Ready at Last to Surrender
to the Gold Oligarchy.

New York, Aug. 30.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
Ell Comercio says editorially that the
financial measures recently submitted
to and now pending in the Peruvian
congress will without doubt lead to the
adoption of the gold standard in Peru.
This result Ell Comercio further says
will not be brought about without a
monetary crisis more or less intense.
The gold standard, in the opinion OF
the paper is the only remedy for
Peru's present financial straits, and
such a change would be productive of
permanent good.
In the meantime, business in Peru is
practically at standstill, and the mar
kets are almost in a state of panic.

BLOTS 1T OUT.
Chief Steele Puts Ink Over tn Q
Statute About BlOckading
Streets

Speaking Of his failure to cause the
arrest of the Salvation Army people
for holding their meeting on Kansas av-
enue last evening in defiance of his or
der, Chief of Police Henry NJ. Steele
said today: 81 was going to arrest them
if they held meeting on the avenue
against my order, but when City Attor-
ney Bird announced in the paper that
he would not prosecute them 1 couldn't
do anything. 1 have marked out with
ink that ordinance in our books which
says that people shall not block the
streets. told my men last evening not
to molest anyone who blocked the
streets. 1 may be a fanatic on that
subject but when my hands are tied by
a city attorney who won't prosecute
people if they violate the ordinances I
don't know what else to do. 1 know
that the Salvation Army scares horses.
My horse is on the streets every day
and one evening last week when/I was
driving uptown in my buggy my horse
wheeled and nearly tipped the buggy
over. L yelled at the fellow who was
blowing horn but he paid no attention.
I don't care, though. If the Salvation
Army can block the streets, 1 suppose
anybody else cam

HORSE WHIPPING CASE.
A. J. Param ore is Fined $25 and Ap-
peals the Case

The case of A. ]. Paramore, who was
arrested on warrant sworn out by OFF,
Ger Dan Wyatt of the Foster Humane So
ciety, came up for trial in Justice Ches-
ney's court this morning.
Mrs. Sadie Hihbard testified that Mr.
Paramore went to where the horse was
tied to a hitching weight, united the
horse, put the weight in the buggy and
drove off. That he commenced as soon as
he got in the buggy to cruelty beat the
horse with the whip and to jerk him with
the lines.
Mrs. P. ]. NJ. Burkett was then called
and testified the same as Mrs. Hibbard
and in describing the affair." said: He
just got in the buggy and commenced to
beat the horse awfully." When asked
how many times the horse was struck
she said, 1.-TWO three dozen times.
was angry she said, that 1 don't
know exactly what did happen The
council asked her if she or any of the
other women in the park threaten or
recommended that Mr.. Paramore be
horse-whipped. The prosecution objected
to this question and the court sustained
the objection.
Dr. F. o. Burkett testified that the
horse was hitched to a weight in front of
the gate and south of the fountain. He
said: ''I raised the horse from a colt and
I know it to be quiet and gentle animal
and a whip is not necessary to make him
travel He was asked if any other mem
bers of the party were asked to move
their horses and said they were, but that
they refused to do so.
The finding of the court was that Mr..
Paramore was guilty of cruelty to ami
mails and it was also shown in the testf-
mony that DR.. Burkett broke the rules
of the park in hitching his horse on the
grass. Mr.. Paramore's counsel in his fin
al argument said that the case was
brought up for the simple reason of set
Ting a personal matter and that at the
bottom of it the question of cruelty to
animals was unthought of. The case
was appealed to the district court-and Mr..
Paramore's bond was placed at $500. The
date has not yet been assigned.
