Alva Price, and that he had fallen over
the cliff about II o'clock Saturday

ELECTROCUTED.
Adrian Braun Paid the Penalty of
His Crime at Sing Slug, Yesterday
Morning.

New York, May 29.-Adrian Braun
was put to death by electricity in Sing
Sing prison to-day for the murder OF
his wife. A current of 1900 volts was
turned on at 9:17 a. M. and at 9:18
Braun was declared to be dead by the
attending physicians. A second shock
was given for 10 seconds. The eXecu-
ton was successful
Braun was a German SO years Of age
and a cigarmaker in New York. He
was the father of five children. He
was sentenced in August, 1897, to two
years for assault in the second degree
in having beaten his wife. His arrest
compelledsMrs. Braun to place her two
youngest children in an asylum while
she supported the other three by taking
in washing and doing chores for neigh
bOrs. On the day of the murder she
came to the prison with some delica-
cies for her husband. Braun, who was
employed in the mess room as potato
peeler, was sent for. Braun and his
wife kissed each other and appeared to
be very friendly. They conversed and
it was not known that Braun had a
knife. At o'clock Detective Jackson,
in whose Office they were sitting and
from whose desk they were only about
ten feet. told Braun it was time to
return to his cell. Braun pleaded for
few extra minutes and his request was
granted. Suddenly he stood up and
Mr.. Jackson saw the long sharp-pointed
pocket-knife in his hand. He brought
II down with fearful force against the
left side of his wifes neck. With one
cut he severed the jugular vein and the
main artery in the neck. Before the
detective could reach him he plunged
the knife several more times into the
dead body of Mrs. Braun. The de-
tective seized him and several keepers
at once searched him. Another potato
knife was found concealed in his cloth
ing. With this the authorities believe
he intended to kill himself.

PRODUCE.

Chicago, May 29.-Wheat scored an
advance of 1880 bushel to-day, July
closing at 77B@77Ac. Corn closed
unchanged and oats Ac higher. Pork
gained sc and lard 21ac. Ribs closed
unchanged.
Large northwest receipts, heavy ship
ments to Europe, an increase on pas
sage and favorable weather reports
started wheat early. The market got
strong, however, and before the session
was two hours old early sellers were
clamoring for former holdings. An an
nouncement by a prominent authority
that the winter wheat area had been
greatly reduced since May first owing
to damage by flies, coupled with sensa-
tional damage from private sources,
brought about the change in sentiment.
Buying orders from the southwest
poured into the pit, and as the market
was getting away from the bears they
made a vague rush to reinstate them
selves, bidding the price up sc at
time. Reports of European drouth
helped the advance and the market
closed near the top of the days range.
July opened Il higher at 751a@755sc,
eased off to 751ac, advanced to 77Bc
and closed at 77B@77Hc. Chicago re-
ceived sc cars, six of which were grad
ed contract. Minneapolis and Duluth
got 1857 cars compared with 481 for
the same day a week ago. Worlds
shipments to Europe last week amount
ed to 1888 600 bushels and the quantity
on ocean passage increased 1,63S,O0O
bushels
Heavy receipts and reports of increas-
ed acreage weakened corn, but the de-
cline was recovered near the close, oW-
ing to the rally in wheat. Receipts 59S
cars. July opened B@Ac lower at
32h0325sc, eased off to 321ac, advanced
to 1924 @327sc and closed with sellers
at 32&c.
Oats suffered early from heavy re-
ceipts and favorable crop advices, but
with the help of wheat closed firm at
the top figures. Receipts 557 cars. July
started NC lower at 22Ac. sold SPAR
ingly at 221s @22Ac and advanced to
22sAc at the close.
Provisions were steadied by better
shipping demand and scattered buying.
July pork opened 21ac higher at So 17B,
advanced to So 25 and closed with SELL
ers at IS 90 Lard and ribs were dull
with fluctuations narrow.
Estimated receipts for Tuesday:

Washington, May 20 All the volun-
teers now In the Philippines, If they are
mustered out at San Francisco, are to
be invited to mobolize at Minneapolis
and st. Paul. There they are to be
rendered rousing welcome, made the
more notable by the presence OF Presi-
dent Mckinley. The President has
been anxious to meet all the troops
who served in the Philippines II this
were practicable, and he agreed to go
to Minneapolis and ST. Paul to greet
the Minnesota volunteers.
With the possibility that the Presl-
dent might be unable to continue his
trip further west the Twin cities have
undertaken to arrange for the moboli-
cation of all the volunteers as their
guests. The organization il mustered
out at San Francisco will be transport
ed to Minneapolis and ST. Paul as the
guests of the twin cities. After the
Jubilee the troops will go home to their
respective States at the expense of the
States. The program is to have the
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Colorado, Tennessee, Iowa, Pennsylva-
mia. Kansas and Nebraska volunteers
at this gathering, and if possible those
from the States of Washington, Utah,
Oregon and California. The date upon
which the troops will reach st. Paul
and Minneapolis will depend upon the
rapidity with which transports can be
placed at their disposal by the War De-
partment, but it is expected that once
started the troops will all be landed at
San Francisco within six weeks. The
first of the troops are expected to ar
rive by the middle of June, and the
last by August LIST. The jubilee, there
fore, probably will occur early in Au-
gust. The Presidents acceptance OIL
this invitation does not necessarily
mean that he has abandoned his con-
templated trip to the Pacific coast.
How much he will extend his trip west
Of Minneapolis will depend upon cir
cumstances.

One merchant told q story of wo~
man who came into the store one day
and asked to see some towels She
| purchased several cheap ones, and af-
ter she had left the store, valuable
| towel costing $3.50 was missing. The
| clerk did not know the party's name,
| but was sure that he would recognize
| her if she came into the store again.
| A few days after the theft a woman
came into the store and said she had
bought the towel there, but wished to
exchange it. She wanted to get some
| like the ones her sister had bought
Very WELL" said the clerk: lust
have your sister come into the store
and we will make the exchange" But
bought the towel myself" objected
the woman. well, that's all right;
when your sister comes in, we will be
glad to make the exchange And the
sister never made her appearance, and
the towel stayed right there in the
store.

where the crowd is the thickest about
a counter, there the shoplifter will go,

suddenly disappear under the woman's
