James Egglester of Frankfort, was or
dered to bring into court the railroad
register showing the time of arrival and
departure of trains at Frankfort the
day of the assassination. The purpose
of this is to contradict the claim of the
defense that Jim Howard, who is al
legged to have fired the shot, arrived af-
ter the assassination.
Howard claimed that the train on
which he came did not arrive till after
the shooting, but the register shows that
it arrived some thirty minutes previous.
The defense objected to the introduce
ton of several kilograms as evidence
because they We're only copies. The
objection was overruled. The first tele-
grams read We're from Powers to the
various captains charged with the bust
ness of getting up the excursion of
mountain men to go to Frankfort and
most of them read: "How many can

The defense filed a formal objection

news regarding the Chinese situation
was received at the Mckinley home and
the president gave very close attention

Steward, wife of Captain Hugh Steward
who testified on Saturday last to seeing
a pool of blood and blood spots in the
road in Hulen lane along which Jester
was travelling fully g corroborated her
husbands testimony. Mrs. Amanda
Clark testified that she too, accomp-
anied by her sister, rode along Hulen
lane on the same day and when near the
old Presbyterian church she met Jester
with two teams and wagons. In those
days she said, strangers spoke to each
other on the highways and she spoke to
Jester. but he did not reply and acted
peculiarity.- In the rear wagon she saw
the figure of a man lying on the floor
under some covering. AS soon as she
passed the wagons she saw blood spots
in the snow and farther on she saw
pool of blood in the road. When she re-
turned from Middle Grove she noticed
that the trail of blood turned south at
the mouth of Hulen lane.

fell into the hands of the Chinese were
frightfully tortured.
The bodies of two marines who were
captured by the Chinese were recovered.
The bodies had been cut into pieces.
First, the eyes had been hacked out;
then the cheeks, arms and legs cut off,
until death ended the sufferings of the
poor fellows.
When Admiral Seymour, in his retreat
found himself so hard pressed that he
was unable to carry his wounded with
him, he asked them: Which do you
prefer, to be left to the mercies of the
Chinese or be shot by your own COM
rades?"
AS Admiral Seymour put the question
the tears were running down his cheeks.
I'VE prefer death to torture. Shoot
us now, that we may die like men," was
the piteous response of the helpless men.
A firing squad was told off, and while
the little allied force stopped and beat
off with gun fire the Chinese horde that
surrounded it, inside its lines, an act of
mercy was performed as the firing
squad carried out it's orders.
A few merciful volleyS from the rifles
in the hands of friends and the harassed
expedition was relieved of its burden of
wounded; the fanatical Chinese horde
was cheated of victims for it's torture
and the sufferings and fears of the un-
fortunates were brought to an end in an
honorable death, under their own flag.

WANT JUDGE sTURGEs.

Concordia, July 16.-The Twelfth ju-

bere tomorrow. Washington and Re-
public counties each have a eandi-
date. While Judge Sturges is not a can
fiidate for denomination, the Cloud
county delegates are for him. T. P. Ro-
ney is the Washington county candi
date and Jay F. Close has the Repub-
lie county delegates. 1t looks like a
deadlock for a while. Roney says his
delegates will be prepared to stay all
summer Close was allowed to select
his delegates, but he is close mouthed,
and no one has found who they are,
and will not until they arrive in the
morning. Cloud and Republic counties
are related senatorially and this may
cut some figure. Sturges friends are
simply looking on and saving wood and
exnect his nomination as a matter of
con,pronaise The Republic and Wash

One of the suggestions of the day,

of the present situation. Thus giving

At any other time the suggestion

Grain Letter.

WHEAT-Iiverpool cables came sd
lower starting a downward market. Ifqui-
datfon was heavy from the start some
big round lots coming out under TIC for
September on stop loss orders Closing
cables were Id lower, showing that for
eign markets are weak and that they are
not at all alarmed over the shortage in
this country as there are other countries
that can be depended on to furnish all
the wheat necessary for all requirements.
Clearances were only moderate, less than
half a million bushels of wheat and flour
as wheat. Kansas City came to the front
this morning with over 100 cars OF good
milling wheat against 17S cars for the
same date last year, while Chicago got
$50 cars We see no prospects OF an ad-
vance at present and believe the market
will gradually sag of its own weight.
Cash markets are very weak, almost de-
moralized. Buyers and sellers are Tar
apart but the buyers have the best of 1T
as they are getting all the wheat they
need at their own prices.
CORN-It rained all over the territory
where dry weather has been damaging the
corn crop and caught nearly every BODY
long a little line of stuff 1t was all for
sale at the opening forcing prices down
RAPIDLY. September broke over &c
bushel from Saturdays close. It rallied
half a cent from the bottom and closed
there.
OATS-Oats were not weak but declined
half a cent on heavy selling by longs who
were scared on account of the break in
corn. The market held remarkably nrIn
and offerings were easily absorbed .
PROVISIONS-Therew were $4,000 hogs at
the yards with the market &c lower. This
and the break in grain caused the 30c
