BORROWED FROM GAMBLERS
How Game Between Police Reporters
Interested Big Players

1t was lively game of poker. The bets
at the start were not large, because the
players did not have much money. The
scene was in the old reporters room in the
city hall and the players were night police
reporters. One was named Peckham and
another Jekill.
1t was Peckham's deal. All dropped out
but Jelkil, who drew two cards Peckham
did not draw any. The betting was fast
and furious. Each player put up all the
money he had in his pockets. Then each
borrowed from his friends
"I've got a good hand" said Peckham.
$50 have IT, replied Jeklll. "Pd bet more
money if | had it."
$50 would t. said Peckham. Lets leave
the hands here and go out and borrow"
Gambling houses were running in Chicago
in those days. Peckham went to Hanlkins'
and Jekil to John Condon's. Each tofd

Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cerenls

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Wheat started very
strong, September opening at from 67st to
6S, against 67AM672s at last nights close.
There was no appearance OF any increase
in the movement of wheat. and Liverpool
sent higher quotations. Showery weather
in the northwest gave the bulls further
opportunity, as the trade under present
was nervous about the possibili-
ties of wet harvest in that section. Tie
demand for the limited offerings in the sam
pie market was most active and at from
3 to cents over the previous days prices
Orders for round lots for shipment were on
the market at slight premium over the
carload price. Chicago received 14l cars,
against 125 year ago. and Minneapolis and
Duluth 5S, against 15S last year. Atlantic
port clearances of wheat and flour for the
last "a hours amounted to 100000 bushels.
September left off 7sc higher and December
1aMfsc higher
Corn received assistance from the
strength in wheat and also from the Kan
sas crop report for the month, showing
drop in conditions of "a points, compared
with that of a month ago. The weather
was acting kindly to the crop and 1t was
clear that such of ii as had not been ruined
past redemption must be rapidly improving.
After the first half hour the price gradually
worked off, closing Ac lower.
Oats were firm early, and remained so as
long as corn showed strength. There were

hall, among them being some of the most
prominent gamblers in town. Bets were
made in larger amounts.
When the call came it was found that

CUBA LIBRA.

At the Baptist church last evening Rev. Dr. Halsey gave a prelude on Cuba, claiming that we had aided Spain long enough by feeding those who were unwilling, but necessary pen sioners upon her country, and that the brave Cuban patriots had fought long enough and hard enough and well enough to entitle them to the rights of belligerents. He said that the pol icy of Spain was clearly enough de- fined in by the order of Blanco to his soldiers to cease shooting sick and wounded Cubans. A nation which would ever begin such a warfare ought to be suppressed. Spain herds the unhappy pacificos near the garrisons and allows them to starve. Next to the Armenian massacre the Cuban hor- Halsey spoke of a member of the well known college fraternity, the Theta Delta Chi, General Mariana Eduardo De San Jose Polhamus y Aguero, who was executed by the Spaniards; and of the noble preacher, Dr. Diaz, pastor of one of the largest Baptist churches in the world who was only saved from execution by the intervention of the American government. About one thousand members of his church in Havana enlisted in the Cuban army
 We do not want war, but war is bet ter than dishonor and if it be proven | that a Spanish mine destroyed the Maine and murdered hundreds of our brave American sailors, the United States should break the tyrant's yoke and let the oppressed go free.

WILL GO TO TEXAS.
Efforts to Form Large Delegat' on te the Cattle Raisers' Convention.

Denver, Feb. 27.-An effort is being made to form a large delegation to at- tend the twenty-second annual con- vention of the Texas cattle raisers' association. When the call for the Denver convention was issued the peo- pie of Texas responded in an enthusi- astic manner and took hold vii ingly in the project of organizing a national association for cattlemen. It was mainly due to their efforts that the Denver convention was so successful and without their cooperation it will be difficult to make the convention in 1899 a success.
 A great many of the prominent cat tlemen of Denver and Colorado will at tend the convention, but an effort will be made to get a strong delegation of business men of the city also to at tend. If possible the local men want to make up a special train and go to the Texas convention with a band and lots of enthusiasm. The stockmen be- lieve it will be a great advertisement of the next annual stockgrowers' con- vention to be held in Denver, and if Denver sends good delegation to Fort Worth it will be the means of bringing a great many more delegates to Denver from Texas next year. The Denver delegation will be armed with bundles of white ribbons announcing the fact that the next convention of the National Livestock association will be held in Denver and these will be pinned onto all the delegates of the Fort Worth convention.

A POPULAR LOAN.
Governor McCord's Plans Regarding
 the Capitol Bond Issue.

Governor McCord was asked last night just before leaving for Wash ington if he had any objections to stating the object of his trip. There are several things in the interest of the territory" replied the governor, that will look after, some of which I do not care to speak of now, but which if accomplished will he of great inter est to the territory. If the president signs the bill to authorize the issuing of $100,00 in per cent bonds to build capitol building 1 shall so far as it is in my power try to have the people of the territory take the bonds, or, in other words, make the sale a popular loan. I will try to have all who can afford to and desire to do so take a thousand dollar bond. I have already Received from two parties who are residents of the territory offers to take $45, ,000 by one party and $20,- 900 by another of these bonds. They are better than government bonds he- cause they draw more interest and can be bought at lower premium. I be- lieve these bonds could be placed in a lump in New York at a premium of not less than per cent, but I prefer to allow the people of the territory to take them even at a less premium. You see they are authorized by re- cent act of our legislature and ap- proved by congress, so there cannot be the slightest doubt as to their va lidity. and as Arizona has never yet repudiated dollar of its indebtedness or defaulted for a moment in the pay ment of it's interest and as there is no disposition on the part of any con- siderable number of the people to re- pudiate any honest debt, these bonds are gilt edged and believe the people of Arizona will subscribe for them. At all events I want them to have a chance.
