He closes by saying he is taking his
medicine regularly; but is SO lonesome
since he kissed his sad-faced, fearful
sweetheart. He promises her a royal
welcome upon her return. And, says
he, you thought of me on my birth
day? And wished you could give me
thirty kisses? I wish L could give you
twice thirty. The world does not seem
the same to me without you; and my
heart rebels against this cruel separa-

and my every thought is of the sweet,
sad-faced little girl I love so well. 1

coat and light hat. Officers Turpin,
Carpenter and Pavey testified the same.
When Atkinson took the stand he denied
that he wore any overcOat that night.
While Wright was on the stand Law

will ask you whether or not you robbed
or assisted in robbing this young man?''

Did you ever strike him?"
mo, sir just as feebly.
Ever put him in fear so as to in

For rebuttaI Claud Imbler again took
the stand.
Did you see 'Coloner Jeltz three

three months ago he met Inbler coming
from the train; that Inbler had a uni

that all he wanted to do was to get his
money back.
County Attorney Jetmore's handling
of the case displayed his ability to carry
on a prosecution which makes the de-
PENDANTS tremble. Wright was very IN
easy when Jetmore was making inroads

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago. Nov. 15.-WHEAT-During
the first part of today's session the
wheat market gave evidence of nervous
ness The short interest was rather
large, banking on the irregular cry Of
too much cry and expecting further
liquidation by longs on the cables which
were equal to the decline here yester-
day December opened &c lower at
721lc to 725kc, touched 723sc, and then
reacted to 71Zc during the first half
hour. At this decline shorts covered
moderately because of light receipts ana
the appearance of a cash demand ana as
there was considerably less pressure
from longs December rallied sharply To
1850. Local receipts were 81 cars, ~
of contract grade Minneapolis ana
Duluth reported 1853 cars, against 4Z6 last
week and 766 a year ago.
The opening of more mills at Mime
apolis helped the market later. Decem-
Der advanced to 1880 and closed firm,
Ac higher at 7219@ssc.
CORN-Corn was steady early, the
price remaining practically unchanged
from the opening, which was a shade
lower for December at S5s4e to 35;sc
Country offerings were small on last
nights bids, but receipts, 344 cars. were
"a cars over the estimate. Trade was of
a small, professional order. The pit was
inclined to offer more freely, but prices
did not yield readily.
The close was firm December = shade
up at 351s 036c.
OATS-In oats there was only a small
local trade. December opened a shade
lower at 21B@22c, and held steady at
that figure Receipts were 106 cars

sions market started strong, commission
houses and packers covering shorts or
adding to their lines. January pork
opened 15c higher at $11.65, touched
$11.70 and later reacted to $11-6212 Janu-
ary lard opened 21h0D5c up at S6.S506.S7h

STRANGE CASE OF PORTER.
Interested IN Something Besides
United States Senator.

E. F. Porter of Crawford county, new
ly elected senator, who was nominated
over an avowed Burton supporter in the
county convention, said in Topeka last
night:
Il am more interested in securing for
the coal miners of the state an eight
hour law than in the election ola United
States senator. I am pledged to the
miners of my district to introduce and
work for the passage of a bill making
eight hours a. days work. I have talked
to several mem bers-elect about the mat
ter, and all have promised to help me.
Il am in favor of a short session." Mr..
Porter said in conclusion. There isn't
any sense of staying here all winter, and
I shall do all in my power to crowd the
business through in a hurry. The con-
stitution allows us fifty days for work.
I would like to get away in half that
time"
