HAS LITTLE EFFECT.
UNAVOIDABLE OUTLOOK DOES
NOT CHANGE WHEAT PRICES.
Business Situation Is One of Quiet
Strength-Exports Lighter than for
the Corresponding Week Last Year
Preacher Arrests Two Fugitives.

Bradstreet's review Of the business sit
uation is summed up as follows: 1.-The
general business situation is one of quiet
strength, while in industrial lines activity
continues undated. The well-nigh uni
versal testimony to damage Of the win
ter wheat crop has had surprisingly little
effect on prices as yet, owing partly to
improved weather conditions strengthen
ing the hopes of larger area in spring
wheat and also to good crop reports
abroad and increased visible supplies as
compared with a year ago, encouraging
foreign buyers in their neglect Of Ameri-
can offerings. For the month of March
a drop Of SIS, 100000 in exports of bread
stuffs, cotton, provisions, live cattle and
mineral oils has been partly made up by
a gain of nearly $10,00OO0O in other pro-
ducts, leaving the net deficiency, as COM
pared with a year ago, per cent. The
cotton goods situation is still a strong one,
though current demand from agents is
light. Following the outburst of activity
in wool business has rather fallen off, but
values remain steady. Leather and hides
are strong and boots and shoes hold recent
advances. Wheat, including flour, ship
ments for the week aggregate 2,932,9o9
bushels, against 1,9S3,G19 bushels last
week. Corn exports for the week aggre-
gate 1901 $40 bushels, against 2,666, l2o
bushels last week.

THEY WANT CHANGES.
CUBANs DESIRE COMPLETE RE-
VISION OF LAWS.
Leading Paper of Havana Condemns
the Harsh Practices of the Latin
Procedure-Date Palms for the Arid
Regions of Arizona.

That public opinion in Havana does not
support the Spanish and Spanish-speaking
lawyers who have organized to defend the
excellences of the Latin law over the
Saxon and retard the legal reforms now
in contemplation by the military admins
tration is demonstrated by the appear
ance in La Lucia of vigorous editorial
advocating radical changes in the exist
ing local system. La Lucia wants both
the criminal and the civil procedure re-
vised, and condemns not only the harsher
criminal practices, like inconmunication
and the Imprisonment of witnesses, but
also the delays, the Celebrations and the
costliness of civil justice. Reforms IN
legal processes, it argues, should be I'M
dertaken at once and not be postponed
until that uncertain period when a stable
and permanent form of government shall
be declared existent in Cuba. This time
ly expression of opinion is highly encour-
aging to the American authorities, who
see the need Of legal revision, but hesitate
to set up new system of law while ex-
ercising purely military and interregnum

The trial of Mrs. Anna E. George at
Canton, Ohio, for the murder of Geo. D.
Saxton has aroused unusual and wide
spread interest. Had the man whom she
is said to have shot been any other than
the brother-in-law of the President of the
United States it is not likely that her fu-
ture would be the subject Of speculation
in thousands of homes throughout the
country and the newspapers outside of the
locality would not consider it worth while
to send representatives there to report
every move she makes and every detail
of her trial. It's the prominence Of the
murdered man that attracts attention to
her. The prosecution occupied nearly two
weeks in presenting their side of the case.
The defense opened Tuesday morning.
In the court room Mrs. George has con-
stantly at her side her oldest boy, New
ton; her sister, Mrs. Brown of Hanover
ton, and number of friends from her old
home. Her former husband, Sample G..
George, was present at one session Of
court and shook hands with her. From
these friends and from people in Canton
Mrs. George daily receives bouquets Of
flowers, which stand on the table in front
Of her and brighten the court room.
AS the trial proceeds she is responsive
to every act of the attorneys and wit
nesses. All is not grim solemnity in the
court room. Occasionally there are ex-
changes of wit by the lawyers and then

Cashier in Council Bluffs scares Des-
perado Away.
A daring attempt to rob the State Saw
ings Bank on Broadway, Council Bluffs,
was made the other afternoon. A. j..
Brown, the assistant cashier, was shot
in the right arm while resisting the de-
mand of the bandit to hold up his hands.
Four shots were fired by the desperate at
the cashier, but the fusillade soon attract
ed a large crowd to the scene. The would
be robber, whose only disguise was a
white handkerchief tied around the lower
part Of his face, escaped through the back
door. The attempt to rob the bank oc-
Cured about 2:30 o'clock, when MIR.
Brown was alone in the bank, the cashier
having stepped out for a few minutes. In
stead of complying with demand to hold
up his hands Mr.. Brown seized stool,
raised it to protect himself, and CONF
menced to call for help. The bandit then
began to shoot.

OIL ABLAzE CAUSES LOSS.

Chicago Railroad and Street Bridges
Damaged to the Extent of $4,000.
The Northwestern Railroad and the old
Kinzie street bridges in Chicago were
damaged to the extent Of $1,000 by FIRE
the other night which had its origin from
an explosion of gas or crude oil on the
docks near the Northwestern elevator on
the west side of the river. The flames
spread rapidly, and owing to the fact that
blazing oil flowed from barrels in two
sheds which the fire attacked the surface
of the river was also ablaze for several
hundred feet along the dock. At one time
it was feared the fire would be communi-
Gated to the east side of the river, but
the quantity of oil was insufficient. and
within fifteen minutes the confagration
on the river ceased. The western portion
of the railroad bridge was badly damaged,
and it is possible that the Kinzie street
draw and the western approach will have
to be entirely rebuilt.

Military Riot at San Francisco.

What came near to being dangerous
riot occurred near the Preside reserya-
ton, San Francisco, Cal. when large
body of white troops from the Preside
burned to the ground saloon known as
the Preside Club cafe and resisted ar
rest by colored troops of the Twenty
fourth infantry and the local police. The
police fred upon the rioters to intinidate
them and several hundred arrests were
made. The trouble grew out of injuries
inflicted on G. l.. King, soldier in the
Twentythird infantry, the previous night
in the saloon. The soldier was so badly
beaten that his life was despaired of. Sew
eral hundred of his comrades marched on
the saloon. The keeper saw them coming
and fed. They bombarded the place
with stones and then set it on fire. The
provost guard, which happened to be
drawn from the colored regiment, and
large detachment Of local police had much
trouble in queling the rioters. All the
offenders were raw recruits.

Indians Held for a Murder.

Solomon Hotema, Choctaw medicine
man, and eight other Choctaw Indians
were arrested by United States deputy
marshals and brought to the Federal Jail
at Antlers, l. T., under accusation of MUIR
dering three whites and wounding an
other near Cold Springs. There has been
great deal of sickness among the Choc-
taws this winter, which Hotema, their
chief medicine man, failed to cure. He
tried all of his incantations and applied all
his remedies in vain. The sick were dy-
ing at an alarming rate and there was
great dissatisfaction in the tribe over Ho-
tema's impotency in effecting cures. FL
nally movement was started to depose
Hotema and, it is said, to kill him. Hop
ing to put an end to this movement and
to restore himself to favor, Hotema de-
clared that his inability to cure was due
to the influence of party of white squat
ters who lived in the neighborhood and
who he declared, were witches He said
that they were trying to exterminate the
Indians in order that they might possess
the Choctaw lands. The Indians became
so much worked up over Hotema's story
that party of them descended upon the
camp of the squatters and killed three of
them, including one woman. James Eli
son, one Of the men, escaped with a slight
wound and brought the news to Antlers.

The bodies of two women, Mrs. Mary

had been murdered while they slept and
their bodies frightfully mutilated, were
found at Murphysboro, ILL.,, by two men
who were working near the house. The
house is situated in a lonely plat of
ground, densely wooded. The crime was
evidently committed some time during the
night while they were asleep, for both
were found in their night clothing, and the
condition of the room indicated that it
had been plundered. Two trunks were
found open and the contents were scatter
ed about the floor. Besides a gunshot
wound in the temple Miss Millstead's
head was cut and gashed from some heavy
dull instrument. Mrs. Davies skull was
crushed in horrible manner.

Brethren Church, who rides a long and
tiresome circuit in Mercer County, w.
Va, among the mountains, is also one of
the sheriff's best deputies. The sheriff
frequently gives him big bundles of pa
pers to serve as he makes his monthly
trips over his circuit. At Spanishburg

ship. After he had given out the hymn
and had read the text, Mr.. Berkham no
ticed two fugitives in the congregation for
whom he had warrants. The minister

the hall, placed the men under arrest,
handcuffed them, fastened the handouts
by a dog chain to the pulpit and proceed
