DIsORDERLY EXECUTION.
Mob Crowded About the ScafYOld
When the Drop Fell.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 17.-William
Carr, the child murderer, was hanged
at the Clay county court house, at Lib
erty, Mo-, at 1924 this morning. Fol-
lowing the first momentary lull after
the drop had fallen, the mass of 500
spectators, as If moved by single i'm
pulse, rushed forward, calling, crying,
shrieking and laughing as they surged
under the gallows and packed close
around the dangling corpse. 1t would
not be satisfied until close view Of
the hanged man was revealed. The
men were angry and cursed one an
other, tried to force themselves up the
gallows steps, and cried and hooted at
the sheriff Finally, in their excitement,
the crowd attempted to break down the
barricade surrounding the scaffold
Sheriff Heimer rushed through the first
breach and excitedly warned the crowd
against any further violence. The
sheriff's deputies surged about him.
and the crowd halted for a moment
Then suddenly, with one accord, a
mighty scream was sent up, and, surg
ing forward, the crowd swept by them
and burst through the frail structures.
Once into the street, the crowd gave
vent to it's feelings with shouts, but
finally dispersed without trouble. and
what, for few moments, looked like q
small sized riot, ended quietly.

yet afraid to predict as to how much real
benefit will accrue. In other lines of staple

South Dakota U Growing.

VERMILLION, S. D., Dec. 17.-At the close
of the fall term of the University Of South
Dakota the registration proves to be the larg-
est it has ever been in the past five years.
The cause of this increase in enrolment is
due to two reasons principally: Better times,
which are evident and the untiring efforts OF
President j. w. Manck, who lately resigned
his position to accept better one in Chicago.
The work done by him in former years is
now showing forth stronger than ever.

Americans closed dull on New York selling,
but the belief here in continuous rise in

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec 1.-THE local wheat
market opened a little weak this morning on
discouraging cables from Liverpool. The
course Of the market after the opening was
comparatively steady and strong up to noon.
The character of the trading was not of
the assuring sort, being, to large extent,
governed by the bid and asked price and gen.
orally of the "scalping'' order, with narrow
changes in prices All through the session
there was strong undercurrent of strength
expressed but the market course did not
bear out the views entertained.
December wheat opened at Gle, being the
same as yesterday, lost 1sc by 1870 and gained
NC by II 80 a. m. May wheat opened at
$3.50 against 80 Lice yesterday, sold at Ss%c,
advanced to 901sG90Ac, declined to GOO, ad-
Vanced &c, declined to $3.50, and by noon
held at S97@90c. The cash wheat market
was about the same yesterday. Receipts
were large, but all we'll taken care of before
noon. Choice No. 1 northern sold at &c to
SIC over the May future. Ordinary No. 1
sold at &c to &c over. No. sold better than
yesterday and lower grades much better than
yesterday. Receipts here were COL cars and
167 cars shipped out.
The market was weak during the noon
hour for no particular reason other than that
the trade is fearful of the outcome Of the
near future. December wheat closed at COSY
and May at 891ac
