PIATT-S SHIELDS
TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Oct. 26.
WHEAT opened strong today, The CON
SideratiOns were higher cables and light
domestic receipts. The strength in corn
and an improved cash demand also en-
couraged buying under which the market
became buoyant and active. Liquidation
became so heavy, however. after sc had
been added to last nights closing price
that the market took a sudden tumble
A steady increase in stocks and cOntin-
ued rains throughout the southwest
where complaints of damage by drouth
have been numerous. accelerated the de-
cline. December opened &c higher at
705s470s4c, advanced to 711sd1Ac and de-
cliued to 7024 d701sc. Chicago received 1O6
neapolis and Duluth got 476 cars compar-
ed with go for the corresponding day last
year. Local stocks have increased 10000
bushels in four days.
CORN was active and strong Wet
weather and a bulliSh Price Current, sum-
mary which claimed the yield was not
of strength. The advance met very little
resistance as the buying was general with
offerings scarce. Receipts 4l5 cars. De-
cember opened 7sc higher at 319sQ31Ac,
OATS ruled dull and steady. Receipts
272 cars. December opened a shade lower
at 222s s4224c and advanced to 229sc.
PROVISIONS-HIgher prices for hogs
and the advance in corn strengthened
provisions. Profit taking at the opening
caused a slight dip but as the session
the market became strong with price
tending upward January pork opened 21a

FAITHFUL SHEPHERDS.
Lose Their Lives Trying to Save Their
FIoeks.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Oct. ga special
from Great Falls, Mont, says:
If any one has concluded that the
time has passed when the servant is as
faithful to the interests of his master
as he could be to his own he should
consider the story of the recent bliZ-
yards which swept through Teton
county in the northern part of this
state, a county given up to the raising
of sheep and cattle. As a result of that
storm nine men are known to be dead
and OF these five bodies have been re-
covered. With one exception all were
sheep herders, and all were found lying
in such positions as to indicate that
they had stayed with their bands to the
last, dying in their attempts to save
property of their employers.
William Granham. working for the
Cascade Land company, was found in
a cOulee near Healey Butte. 1t is evil
dent that he had tried hard through
the night to get his sheep into camp,
but had not succeeded. Conscious of
the death which was impending, he re-
turned to his tent about midnight and
there wrote and left a note saying he
was nearly exhausted, but was about
to return to the sheep, which were
drifting up the coulee. He was found
stretched on the snow, his lantern about
20 feet distant OF his two dogs, one
remained to guard the body while the
married and recently said that he had
not a relative in the world.
Norman Bruce worked for VIII Flow
cree. He remained with his sheep until
he managed to drive them into a shell
tered spot, where they would be safe.
Blinded by the storm, he mistoOk the
cOulee where his cabin was built and
wandered I'D another. Realizing his
mistake too late, he turned back and
fell less than 200 yards from his home
and safety. The searching party found
his dog stretched across the dead body.
Bruce was unmarried and a native OF
Prince
Matt GregOrich was found with his
arms crossed upon his breast His dog
had followed the sheep into camp and
returned with the rescue party too late.
H. Z. Herald, working for S. c. Scofin,
was lying in the deep snow, his head
eaten off by the sheep, which had also
eaten his clothes and part of his boots.
This is only a portion Of the pathetic
side of the disaster and the fidelity of
one herder is probably no greater than
any other
It is probable that the death list is
hardly begun. Bands of sheep without
herders have been reported from var
ious points in the storm district, and
later these will be traced and the dead
herders found.
Now the snow covers up everything
on the prairie and the coulees, many
of them more than 100 feet with steep
sides are filed with it. Without excep-
tiOn this was the most severe and most
fatal October storm ever occurring in
Montana.

sCHILLING'S REWARD.
Offers $1,000 For Proof That He
Signed Agreement.

John Schilling of Hiawatha offers a re-
agreement with Cyrus Leland and Ira
Collins in which they entered into a con
tract with d. W. Mulvane and Judge
Horton and A. X Rodgers to keep Char
lie Curtis out Of the Congressional race
in the First district this year in exchange
for the nomination last year
In letter to a Topeka man Schilling
says; Il Will give 81. 900 for proof that I
signed that document. I did not sign it.
Ny name appeared on the agreement but
I did not place it there. It was placed
there by a forger without my consent.
/ was not a party to the agreement in
any sense of the word"
Mr.. Schilltng has been working in
Brown county for Curtis and the Bailey
ment business. Those tactics ended when
Nj Schilling denounces the. game and
sertions made by the Baileyites.

A GLOOMY VIEW.
Jerry Simpson Sees No Good Times
Ahead.

Jerry Simpson does not apparently have
very strong intention of Joining the ranks
of the people who are talking prosperity
and good times, but takes an opposite
view. In an interview recently he said:
1T is a mockery to tell the people in
times like these that they are prosperous
With employment agencies overrun with
applicants Vainly hunting for work; with
an army of ablebodied and intelligent
men eager for a chance to labor for a
weekly pittance of so; with skilled me-
chanics glad of opportunities to earn only
S15 week, with school children grinding
away their young lives in stores and fac
tories to eke out the neager income OF
Industrious but impoverished parents;
with underpaid women d1splac1ng men,
and men going into private kitchens as
household servants: with hosts Of small
merchants passing out of independent
business and into the OVercrOWded ranks
of hired clerks. and travelling statesmen
aghaSt at their narrowing opportunities;
with freehold farmers giving way to
rapidly growing class of agricultural ten
antry. with vice-br breeding slunS IN every
city and sturdy tramps upon every high
waY: with 1000 other manifestations Of
social maladjustment and misery, the
whole eliminating in a universal fear of
loss of employment or business, par
alyZing dread of pOverty-With such facts
thrusting themselves hourly upon public
attention, thoughtful men are in no mood
to listen patiently to silly jabber about
our wonderful prosperity "

COFFEYVILLE CITY COURT
It's Validity Is Attacked in the su-
preme Court

R. NJ. Council Of COffeyville, convict
ed Of theft and sentenced to jail, hopes
to escape punishment for his crime
and destroy at the same time the
means of punishment for other Grim
tnals by attacking the validity of the
law creating the court which tried his
case.
These facts are brought out by a suit
fled in the supreme court. TnaIcinr a.
pltcation for release upon habeas cor
pus proceedings. Councils attorneys
claim that the law creating the cifv
court at Coneyville is unconstitutional
and upon this theory thew has, +j1sj,.
plea for liberty. The guilt of the de-
fendant is not denied.

THE SOLDIER DEAD
To Be Brought Back From the Phil
ippines.

New York. Oct. pa special to the
World from Washington says:
D. H. Rhodes, an employe of the
quarteFmaster's department who sup
erfntended the removal of the dead sold
iers from Cuba this spring. has depart
ed for Manila to make arrangements
for bringing to this country the bodies
Of the boys in blue, who have fallen in
battle, or died of disease in the Philip
pine islands. The promise made by the
president at the time of the breaking
out of the Spanish war that the bodies
of all soldiers who fell in battle, or died
OF disease in foreign countries should
be returned to their homes in this coun-
try for final interment, will be strictly
adhered to in regard to the Philippine
war. An expedition sent out last
spring was failure.
The first bodies will be sent back by
the returning transports which are now
carrying troops to the islands and will
probably reach this country about the
6rst of the year

Foreign houses have moderate orders

every reason to believe that the monetary
situation will improve somewhat. The
wisdom of taking hold of the best class
of industrials, those that have been tried
