WHEAT MARKET.
A Sensational Advance on Reports Of
Heavy Damage to the Crop.

New York, June S.-Another sensa-
tional advance took place in whea to-
day, prices advancing 2k 10 csc per
bushel, making over sc jim the last three
days. The outside speculative inter-

damage news from the northwest, and
the professional operators, while trying
several times during h day to UNDER
mine prices met their matches and were
obliged to retreat in the last hour wnen
fhe highest prices of the session were
attained. Crop damage reports from
spring wheat states are unoouoteoiy
very bullish, but there is some ques-
ton as to whether he Ia
not been too rapid under the circum-
stances. July went up from l5Ac early
in the day to 77%c in the late after
noon, closing at TIE. Foreign houses
also proved good buyers OF the staple,
and general sentiment was strongly in
of higher prices, SHOULD rain be
withheld much longer from the spring
belt. Operations in the option
market reached a total OF about $780,
moo bushels for the day, which is the

DEATH SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Three Filipinos Sentenced to be Hang
ed for Murder of a Soldier Commut-
ed to Twenty Years in Prison.

Washington, June S.-Newspaper
reports just received at the wal de-
partment SHOW that three natives were
convicted by a military commission of
having murdered Quartermaster Ser
geant Albert Votrie, of company K,
Thirty-ninth volunteer infantry at the
barrio of Bagbag, nea Tanauan in the
province of Batagas, February End
and were sentenced to death by hang
ing.
In passing upon the ase General
Otis, as the final reviewing authority,
said the findings of the commission
were fully sustained by the evidence
and that the death sentence imposed
by it had the express sanction of the
laws of war. He was, however, unwil-
ling to direct the execution of the SEN
tence, as he believed that the accused
were influenced to commit the crime
of which they were convicted by To-
cal guerilla chiefs, who, he said, were
the principal criminals in the affair.
Moreover, he said, the prisoners were
ignorant of the legal consequences of
their act. Therefore, he committed
the sentence in each case to twenty
years Imprisonment at hard labor in
the preside de Manila.

New York. June 11.-George Foster
Peabody, chairman of the national
committee of the gold democrats today
made the following statement with
reference 10 the meeting Of the COM
mittee in indianapolis, July 25th:
This question of a third ticket must
stand in obeyance until after the two
conventions have been held and the
platforms Of the republican and demo-
cratic parties definitely announced.
For this reason the meeting Of the ma
tional committee, which Secretary
John P. Frenzel, of Indiana, has been
authorized to call, was set for July
25th. Whether a third candidate Will
be run depends upon whether the
constituencies represented by the vari-
u delegates regard it as ~expedient
or not. If the committee decides TO
call the convention, the party platform
will be the same as hat represented
by Palmer and Buckner four years
ago, except hat the imperialistic is
sue will play an important part.

ject, but did not think anything would
come of it. Nobody has charge of his

They Never Fail.

The American people at the polls
have returned verdict of sturdy com.
mon sense and unflinching patriotism.
This was foreseen from the beginning
by every American with any under
standing of his countrymen's charao-
ter. When An imminent danger con-
fronts the American people they al
ways rise and overcome it.
The republican party entered the
campaign with firm reliance upon the
courage. honesty, common sense, re-
spect for law, and devotion to country
Of the normal American citizen. 1t
knew the history of this nation. 1t
had faith that the sons would prove
worthy of the fathers. 1t knew the
American people had not degenerated.
1t knew they had never failed in their
duty when their own interests or their
counory's rights were menaced. 1t
appealed without fear to the sober
Judgment of the people. And the
people have fully justified this conf
dence.
When the normal American reflects
upon his country's history he is amaz
ed that Mr.. Bryan and his party could
ever have hoped to win. No leader
and no party appealing to unreasoning
discomfort, to cowardice, to passion,
to lawlessnesS, ever has won in this
country. None ever will win while
this republic endures. For should such
appeals ever prevail with the Ameri-
can people then the United States of
Washington and Lincoln will be no
more. Then across the foreheads of

QUESTION ANSWERED,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
srandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion and Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis, ner.
vous prostration or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.

As To Altgeld.

This from Ex-Governor Altgeld calls
for passing word of comment:
"The result simply shows that mon
ey can control the elections. The is
sues have nothing to do with it.
The question whether Altgeld be-
leves that any sane person would ac-
cept this assertion as true may be set
aside for the moment. He makes it,
and presumably he is accountable for
his own opinions. But if he be-
lieves what he says: if he believes, as
he declares. that Mr.. Bryan was de-
feated by crime,' it follows that he
also believes the American voter to be
venal and the democratic voter to be
nIoTt venal among his countrymen.
If heN believes that among 100000
AmeriSan citizens the proportion who
can be 4 Influenced by the improper use
of money is so large as to determine
the verfdict of the whole number, then
it is ev' idsnt that he can't have further
faith in the nation, and the quicker he
getss out the better. Considering that
"a ,lbought election implies that the buy
Z ing has been most successful among
the members of the losing party, it is
evident that if Altgeld believes what
he says he must feel that his own par
ty is no longer entitled to the benefit
of his presence.-Chicago Record.
We feel bound to congratulate the
people of Phillips county and this ju-
dicial and representative district upon
the wise choice of officials both dis
trict and county. While the major
tiles received by the republican candi-

be remembered that one party had
three united parties to overcome and
necessarily the majority could not be
large.-Holy oke Republican.

After all the denunciation of the
full dinner pail, the democrats now
concede that the prosperity that it
represents was the harder argument
to overcome and the hardest fact to
meet. 1t together with the rottenness
of fusion politics has lost democracy
over one hundred thousand votes or
two-thirds of the entire vote Of this
state.-Greeley Sun.
The fusionists have again carried
the state of Colorado by a greatly re
duced majority. Four years ago their
majority was nearly 135 900. Two
years ago it was about 81, Co., and now
it is about 3d. 900. This shows q loss OF
over $4,000 each two years. At the
same rate two years hence they will
have become the minority party in
