One of the numbers on the program was
the cavalry charge, feature OF when
was the firing Of volley of guns. ProI.
Beck, tho leader of the band, had no trou-
bic in getting volunteers from among the
COW boys to perform this part OF the plece'
and dozen of them were stationed at the
edge of the pavilion waiting for the sig
nal. When this was given the rough rio-
ers, instead of firing one yolley, as tne
music called for, continued IN pam vlo-
lation of the composers wishes. Inns
somewhat disconnected the musicians anu
distressed the thousands of women anu
children, but it was as nothing to Wnat
followed. The cowboys selected Tor the
part continued to fire gleefully, then they
shouted to their comrades, who Hooked
about the place to join in and IN second
not fewer than 500 six-shooters added TO
the noise. Women and children in the
big pavilion, thoroughly alarmed, tired 10
escape. Just as they had started every
light in the park went out. The COWBOYS,
frenzied with excitement, continued 10
fire, women screamed and children addeu
their walls to the din. Meantime the at
tempt to get out of the pavilion contln-
ued. There was Il stampede, women anu
children were knocked down and some
were trampled. The firing continued I'M
til the ammunition was exhausted ana
then nothing but the shrieks of women
and children were to be heard. number
of women and children were injured, but
none seriously.

GREAT WHEAT CROP.
THIS YEARS YIELD WILL
ECLIPSE ALL OTHERS.
Estimates Are The Amount Raised
Will Be Double That of 1S97-Tota1s
in Middle, Western and Southern
States Will Be Big.
Tn All ESQ. Ooo.Ooo Bushels.

Indications are that the wheat crop OF
1898 will be the greatest in the history OF
the country From figures that are being
collected and compiled by some OF the
big Chicago firms, based on the reports of
experts in every section Of the country,
the oncoming wheat crop is estimated to
exceed 65O, 100000 bushels. All the con-
ditions are reported as being of the most
favorable nature, and while there is a
decrease in acreage the total yield will be
more than double that of 1887.
Kansas looms up as the banner State
this year, an increase of % per cent in
the acreage having been reported. EST
mates on the yield vary all the way from
100000 to 100000 bushels, while
the combined crop Of Kansas, Nebraska
and Oklahoma is estimated at 100000
600 bushels. Of this 100000 to 49,
100000 bushels is credited to Oklahoma
| and Kansas will have 100000 to co.
0OO,0O bushels.
AS compared with the planting in Hi
nos in the fall Of 1896, there has been a
decrease of Is per cent in the acreage,
but in spite of this the conditions in the
Sucker State are about the same as in
Missouri, and the apparent decrease in
acreage is discounted by the amount Of
wheat that was plowed up in the spring
Of last year. The 1897 crop in Illinois
amounted to little less than 10000, 900
bushels, whereas it is generally conceded
that this years crop will be nearly, if not
fully, treble, or between 25,OOO,OOO and
100000 bushels.
Texas will have a 100000 bushel
crop. Never before has the wheat looked
so fine in the Lone Star State as it does
now. The harvest will be unusually
early, and agents writing to their houses
here report that great part of the crop
will be'harvested and ready for shipment
in June. If any considerable amount Of
wheat comes in from Texas during June
this, together with what will be received
from other Southern States, will have a
markedly bearish effect on the July wheat
market.
Indiana will come to the front with a
crop of 100000 bushels. This is nearly
100000 bushels better than last years
crop of 32,60O,00o bushels, while the Gov
eminent reports show a decrease of 2 per
cent in the acreage planted this year.
From Iowa and Michigan the reports are

snaniar1s Arc Suspected,

Richard Heard, who was probably MUIR
dered by Spaniards in Vera Cruz, Mex
leo, was an employee of the WatersPierce
Oil Company of st. Louis. The firm has
u refinery at Vera Cruz. II. Clay Pierce,
president of the company, says that the
mystery surrounding the disappearance
of Heard April Fl is as deep as ever. His
company has offered reward Of $1,000
for his discovery, dead or alive, and the
Mexican Government has been notified
of his disappearance. There is suspi-
cion that Heard has been murdered and
his body hid, for he was an intensely
loyal American and frequently at Vera
Cruz condemned the Spaniards and there
by incurred the enmity of them. Mr..
Pierce, however, says that he does not
believe that the Spaniards had anything
to do with his disappearance. On the day
Of his disappearance he left the refinery
at 1:45 in the afternoon. He has not
since been seen. A search of his room re-
vealed his clothes, but no clew as to prob
able whereabouts. Railway lines and
ships and every byway leading out of
Vera Cruz have been searched, but not
the slightest clew can be found of the
missing man. Heard formerly lived in
Franklin, Pa. He has relatives in Penn
sylvania and Ohio, but Mr.. Pierce does
not know their address. He was about
% years old and unmarried.

p1ode a Bomb in His Desk.
A singular accident at the electrical ex-
hibition at Madison Square Garden, New
York, resulted in the partial demolish-
ment of the desk Of Thomas A. Edison,
Jr., and severe shock to the nerves OF
its owner. ORe of the most interesting
features of the exhibition has been DEM
onstration Of the Clarke wireless tele-
graphy system, illustrating by means OF
a small tank of water and miniature gun
boats how mines having no cable connec-
ton with firing station on the shore may
be exploded in harbor. Mr.. Edison was
experimenting before the exhibition was
open to the public the other day to lind
method of exploding the mines one at a
time. Some fifteen feet away from the
tank was Mr.. Edson's desk, in drawer
of which one of the small bombs used as
mines in the tank was stored. Through
the divergence of the waves, as is sup
posed, the bomb in the desk was exploded,
reducing the desk to kindling wood, and
damaging a portable electric light set on
it. Splinters flew about Mr.. Edison, but
he was uninjured except for the shock OF
the explosion. In the desk number of
valuable papers belonging to Mr.. Edison
were blown to bits.

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
Business Is Up To and in Excess of the
Avera ore at This Season.


Average at This Season.
Bradstreet's says of the state of trade:
ga total volume of business fully proper
toned to or in excess of that usually not
ed at this season of the year is indicated
by reports to Bradstreet's this week. The
exceptions are generally where weather
conditions have made for irregularity and
perhaps dullness. The volume of bank
clearings, as was to be expected, shows
the contradiction usual toward the close
of May, but with few exceptions the crop
situation, the volume of railway earnings
and the reports from a number of leading
industries point to a maximum volume Of
business doing in most parts Of the coun-
try. Relatively the best trade reports
continue, as for some time past, to come
from the central west and northwest,
where the outlook, both as regards crop
yield and prices, continues eminently sat
isfactory to the agricultural interests. Ihe
wheat situation shows little change, but
this and next years delivery appear to
have parted company. Rather more bust
ness is reported at most eastern markets
both in domestic and foreign grade of
woods -

PREssYTERlANs IN SESSION.
Annual Meeting of the General Az.
sembly at Winona Lake, Ind,

The 10th session Of the general Assem-.
bly, Of the Presbyterian Church was called
to order at Winona Lake, Ind. Rev.
Sheldon Jackson, the retiring moderator,
delivered the annual sermon. DR.. WAL
lace Radcliffe of Washington, D. c., was
elected moderator. The only other candi-
date was DR.. Henry McCook of Philadel-
phia. Five hundred and fifty-eight dele
gates answered the roll call. DIR. Rad
cliffe was welcomed in brief speech by
DR.. Sheldon Jackson, the retiring mod
orator, and then assumed the duties Of his
office. DR.. Radcliffe accepted and spoke
Of the Presbyterian Church in glowing
terms. He asked that In the work Of this
assembly past disaffections should be for
gotten. The business of the church was
to preach the truth, and it's duty was to
close it's ranks, come together and march
forward in the service Of God.
A speech Of welcome to the assembly
was made by Hon. James A. Mount, Gov
ernor of Indiana. He spoke Of the rela-
tons of the Presbyterian Church to the
cause of liberty, illustrating it by histori-
cal illusions and events. In regard to the
present war he said that it was reuniting
the country as never before, so that sol
diers from North and South are marching
side by side. The hope was expressed
that this was only symbolical of the re-
union of Northern and Southern branches
of the Presbyterian Church. This senti-
ment found such hearty reception as to
evoke long applause. DR.. Radcliffe re-
Piled.
The board of freedmen, which has
charge of the work of educating the ne
groes in the United States, was reported
as not in as fourishing a condition as
could be desired. The debt has been
steadily increasing, last years deficiency
being $1,875. Fourteen schools have been
closed, and the school year has been re-
duced from eight months to six months.
The board has been forced to abandon
all improvements, as money was lacking.
Money received during the past year
amounted to $13O,313, and the expendi-
lures, including that paid to annuitants,
amounted to $131, 515. The debt of the
board in 1893 was $50, 900, and since that
time it has been increasing at the rate Of
$4,000 year. The cause of this growing
deficiency is the lack of contributions
from the churches.

on account of the condition Of the treas
ury and the inability of the church to
press new work, either in this country or
in foreign lands, a conservative policy
had been adopted in regard to the encour-
agement and assistance Of new candi-
dates. There has been fear in church
circles that the board has been the means
of swelling the numbers of the ministry
in an undue degree, but the report clear

MAY MEAN INDIAN OUTBREAK
One Man Killed and Another Wounded

One Man Killed and Another Wounded
in Alaska.
A special from Skaguay, Alaska, says:
A tragedy that may be the forerunner OF
an Indian outbreak took place ON McClin-
took river, which empties into the lower
end of Lake Tagish. While polling boat
down the river two white men, Thomas
Fox, formerly of Juneau, and William
Meehan, an old-time Yukoner, were fired
upon by Indians armed with rifles. AT
the first discharge Meehan toppled over
with bullet in his heart. A second bull
let entered Fox's left breast above the
heart. 1t struck bone, passing around
his ribs, and found exit at the back. Bad
fy wounded as he was, Fox reached the
shore, making his way through the woods
to the settlement by Lake Tagish. The
Indians were the Hootalinqua river sticks,
and Fox thinks there were about eighty
in the band. Most of them appeared to
be armed.

HANGED BY A MOB.

Brakeman Responsible for Boys
Death Executed Without Trial.
Joe Mitchell, colored, an Illinois Central
brakeman, who lived at Paducah, was
hanged by a mob at Rives, Tenn. The
night before Mitchell had showed a white
boy tramp of a moving train at Rives and
the boy fell on the track, his legs being
cut off at the knees. He lived long enough
to tell that Mitchell was his assailant.
The murderer was arrested and while be-
ing held at the depot to be taken to jail
at Union City, Tenn, crowd gathered,
and securing him, hanged Mitchell in ten
minutes.
