miraculously preserved under a heap
OF charred wood. Several pieces of pa

FITTED THROUGH BARS.
From the Golden Penny.l

Difficulties only inspire a man of
genius. Witness the story of the CORE
spondent who, while confined in a Gu
ban jail asked for some clothing to
take the place of his rags.
He was told he might order a suit
from a tailor; but when the tailor ar
rived the prisoner found he could only
consult with him through the bars. In
order to be measured he had to stand
as close to them as he could get.
In a few days. however. the tailor
again appeared with the garments cut
out and pinned together for fitting on,
and this he accomplished by stretching
his arms through the window bars as
before, until the 1T was to his mind
correct.
When the correspondent came to wear
this extraordinary suit he found It most
so that il is being worn in London now
with much pride.

Prod uce.

Chicago Aug. 21.-Wheat opened weak
at a decline of about 1sc for both Sep
TENDER and December options, between
which trading was about equally divided.
Foreign markets were higher, though
they hardly showed the advance expect
ed. But Russia, the wheat crop of which
country was reported Saturday to have
suffered so much as to preclude the pos
sbility of exports, reported shipments of
more than million bushels. Domestic
crop conditions showed a big improve
ment and this, more than anything else.
Influenced for the time being the action
of the market
Rains in the Northwest have ceased and
the weather reported ideal for the crop.
AS a great deal of buying was done last
week on account of apprehension of dam
age from the rains, the changed condi-
tons brought wheat onto the market in
large quantities at around the opening
and resulted in more or less liquidation
all day.
The visible supply statement showed a
disappontingly small decrease-99,0 900
bushels-instead of the 100000 bushels ex-
pected The general cash business was
so small as not to affect the speculative
market, though bids were not altogether
out of the way, as was shown by the
working of about 10000 bushels of Kansas
wheat and by reports of other small lots
received. The market met stop-loss or
ders when 1t got below puts and then
there was considerable covering at the
decline. The market responded slowly to
the buying and ruled heavy to the end
September closed at I19sM73a4c.

NOT AN IMPORTANT TERM

July Session.
FAVORABLE TO Mr.. CRALlE
Court Decides That He Is Entitled to
the Same Emoluments and Powers
as His Predecessor = Other
Cases.

Special Correspondence of the Standard
Boulder, Aug. 20.-The July term of
the district court for jefferson county
closed with the session of yesterday
afternoon, and Judge Parker and Mr.
Monaghan start to-day for Dillon
where term is about to open. The
term here was not an important one,
there being no criminal and but few
civil cases. On the closing day few
matters were decided that had previ-
ously been taken under advisement.
Among them was that of Ii. NJ. Cralie.
county surveyor, VS.. the board of coun-
ty commissioners. As an appointee in
the place of e. r. Mcneil, resigned
Mr.. Cralle claimed that he succeeded
Mr.. Mcneil in all duties, pr .vileges
and emoluments, including the care
and management of road matters and
the compensation provided by law for
the same. After Mr. Mcneil was
elected and qualified the law was
changed, returning to the commission
ers the management of road and bridge
matters as before the experiment of two
years ago placing them in the hands
or the county surveyor. The commits
sloners claimed that as Mr.. Cralle was
appointed after the new law went into
CilSNl tles lldu charge Ol tIe -bduS,
which left the surveyor with very lit
tie to do and hardly any salary. Mr..
Cralle claimed that he was a direct
descendant officially of Mr.. Mcneil
and that as the constitution provided
that the salary of public officer could
not be changed during his term of
office. that he inherited all of Mr.. Nc
Neills rights, duties and salary. The
court took this view of the matter and
decided in Mr. Cradles facor
In the case of Nellie Doherty VS.. Hen
ry Dahlman, the demurrer to an
amended complaint was sustained, and
that apparently ends the matter. 1t
was the case wherein plaintiff sued for
100000 for damages from a breach of
promise, and in which the jury awarded
her $3,45S.91. A new trial was asked for
on several grounds, the principal one
being that the verdict was reached by
each juryman setting down his figure of
damages, adding them and dividing
by u. A new trial was granted and an
amended complaint filed. In the mean
time Mr.. Dahlman had been killed end
this fact being presented in the demur-
rer to the amended complaint, it acted
as an estoppel to further prosecution
of the case.
