The oyershadcwing factor in the stock
market yesterday was the news of heavy
rains In the Western corn belt, which il
was said lad removed all present fear of
damage 70 the crop. Corn tumbled in price
from the Saturday level cents Immediate
ly, and sold during the entire day around
80 cents, at one time getting as low as
80 1-Sc. Wheat Was weak in sympathy.
Under the influence OF this good news the
stock market generally was stio.g, and cne
or two securities were buoyant The
cliques took advantage of the better tone
TO boom their specialties. and Union Pa
cific common and Baltimore and Ohio COM
mon both advanced rapidly. The grnngers
were strong, and in particular :he corn
roads, Rock Island and Burlington In the
best level. but the day showed good net
gains all over the list. In the short cover
ing and buying because of the corn news
the situation in China received little at
tention- The destruction of the foreigners
In Pekin has been "discou nted" as a mar
ket factor, looking at the matter purely
from the Wall Street point Of view. The
large chance now is, however thai the
market will feel the influence of he
further Chinese news. The street had not
heard Of the disastrous fight at Tientsin
yesterday morning. This brings the tua-
ton into prominence In a new and most
unpleasant way. The outlook is for q de-
cline In prices from the present level this
week. There will be good buying Of secur-
tiles if the recession is an important one.

in addition to the news itself that the
crops are safe Money is very cheap all
over the country and promises to remain
so. This is in favor OF speculation in the
high priced grangers. The prices of the

ascribed to the clique that has been oper-
ating in it for several days. There was
also large foreign buying and some in
vestment purchases. The earnings state

out makes a showing almost marvellous,
and the talk of a per cent dividend on
the stock is now generally credited.
Russell Sage is having himself inter-
viewed again regarding the prospect of a
dividend on Missouri Pacific. He ventures
the opinion that the dividend will soon be
paid. The street does not seem to base
much faith on what he says, and it is even
suggested unkindly that he is probably
anxious to sell some stock. The last time
Mr.. Sage predicted dividend on this stock
it did not materialize, and it was said that
he was enabled to sell some of his stock
at a high figure near the top price. Yes

himself. but during the day there was a

be told several stories of which the
dead man during his adventurous life
had been the hero. During the Lin
coin county, Texas, war, Nathe, as he
was always called, was one Of John
Chisholm principal lieutenants, and
a more reckless or daring spirit was
not to be found in the gangs of des-
perate men who wrote that page Of
history in characters Of blood. For
some time he waged open war, and as
a climax to his operations he Joined
the other side and was appointed a
leader, as he would know the country
and the weak points Of his old allies,
He led u gang Of about Is men into
an ambush, where every one of them
was shot down. After that the
country became too hot for him and
he resolved 70 leave While he was
with the Kids gang he met a kindred
spirit i'll the person Of Luke Cathy,
as big a dare devil as ever strapped
on a six shooter. Together they con-
cluded to quit the country. Nathe
got what money he could from his
employer, John Chisholm, and one
dark night they started off with l25
head of the best horses on the ranch.
They drove for two davs and nights
without rest and then concluded that
they were far enough off to stop u
while. AS is often tile case with such
characters when not in crowd, each
was afraid of the other doing him
harm, and was ever on his guard.
But nature conquered fear and Luke
concluded to sleep for few hours
while Nathe herded the horses. leay-
ing his erstwhile partner afoot and
over a hundred miles from any habi-
tation. When Luke awoke he took
IN the situation at glance, but he
was not made Of the stuff that be
comes discouraged with small re-
verses. He started to walk and had
not gone many miles when he saw
the smoke of Il roundup camp. Here
he had no trouble getting horses and
he immediately set off on the trail Of
his absconding partner. He was in
no great hurry, his vengeance was
slow but sure. Nathe had struck for
the Black Hills and thither his pur
suer followed. He had no trouble
selling his horses at = good price, and
all would have been well with him
had he forgotten the man left afoot
on the Colorado desert. But he knew
Luke Cathy was not the man to for
get such a trick, and was accordingly
ever On his guard. Soon he heard Of
him and that he was on His trail 1t
was III Trail City that Luke caught
up with his man. He had just rode
in, not sure that Nathe was there, but
Nathe saw HIM and that was enough.
Luke was walking up the street ana
Nathe stepped out Of saloon door.
A pistol cracked and Luke Cathy,
reaching for his gun, fell to the side
walk to gasp out his life. Another
bad man had died with his boots on,

The following named persons have
also interests in the Sunlight camp:
John Hughes, w. A. Lewis, John
Weaver, w. r. Hall, A. l.. Cory,
Frank Fox, Charles Hoff of Red
Lodge, j. r. Painter of Philadelphia,
and associates, Henry Willard of New
York, and associates. Those who
live in the Sunlight are Josiah A.
Davis, Gus Lafond. w, B. Campbell,
several Sheridan people aud some
from Bridger.
The low prico Of copper prevailing
some years ago, together with the
panic of 1893, retarded the growth of
the camp, but since the business of
the country has assumed normal CON
ditions, and the price Of silver and
copper has advanced, the camp is
taking on new life and the coming
season will see Sunlight spread out,
and before the ycar 1900 closes one
may expect to see the district ranking
as one of the best camps in the west.
The people of Livingston will have
an interest in the growth of Sunlight,
as we'll as the people oi Red Lodge
and Billings, rs in case Of a road be-
ing extended from Red Lodge to
Cooke City that great mineral propo-
sition will add greatly to Livingston's
trade. There arc many reasons why
Sunlight camp will aid the prosperity
of not only tins and other points
further east, but the whole state.
Thousands Of dollars are annually
spent III statcs whero new mining en-
terprises are being developed, and
when such men as Henry Willard can
see u good Investment for his money
it is evident that tho outlook is u good
one. Hence, from what has already
come to the notice of the people here

unimpeachable, and who arc resi-
dents Of Red Lodge, Bridgcr and
other portions OF our state the rich

 MT. Sewall has returned from a visit to Honolulu, where he spent month with his son, Harold M. sewal, special agent of the United States in Hawaii.
 'I have always favored the acquisition of the Philippines after the Paris treaty.

Mckinley will be renominated and re-elect- ed. Mr. Bryan, too, will be renomnated, but fear that he cannot win the goal. The fact is, the country has been too prosperous to warrant any hope of change in the national administration, and people are slow to take up reform measures when times are as good as they are at present.

A Story of Fuseli

From the New England Home Magazine.
 Fuseli, an eminent historical painter, who grew in fame after 1770, when he first form ed the resolution to devote his talents to painting, was rather fond of sarcastic re- marks at the expense of his friends.
 Northcote, contemporary exhibited his Judgment of Solomon" Fuseli looked at it with a srnirk on his face
 "How do you like by picture?' inquired Northcote.
 "Much," was the answer ''The action suits fine word. Solomon holds out his fin gers like pair of scissors at a child, and says: Cut it, I like it much
 Northcote remembered this when Fuseli exhibited picture representing Hercules drawing his arrow at Pluto.
 How do you like my picture?' inquired F'useh
 Much" said Northcote; "it is clever, very clever, but he'll never hit him. "He small hit him. exclaimed the other, and that speedily" Away ran Fuseh with his brush. and, as he labored to give the ar row the true direction, was heard to nut ter: Hit him! By Jupiter, but he shall hit him."
