CONVICT MAY BE TRIED.
May Be Taken From Penitentiary tx
Answer For Crime Committed
in Prison.

The attorney general in an opinion
rendered today holds that a convict
serving a sentence in the penitentiary
may be taken therefrom and tried for
murder.
February Frank Clark, a convict,
stabbed and killed Philip Boyd also a
convict. The crime was committed
within the prison walls. There was a
question in the minds of the Leaven-
worth authorities as to their power to
prosecute Clark while he was already
in the penitentiary.
The question was referred to the at
torney general who holds that the
Leav authorities have full pow
er to prosecute Clark for murder.
The question has never been passed
on by the courts of Kansas but the
courts of other states have so held. The
attorney general follows those decisions
in rendering his opinion.

Snecial Grain Letter.

Furnished by J. c. Goings, Commission
Merchant, 112 East Fifth street, Topeka.
Kan, receiver and shipper of grain.
A prominent commission house, as in
ducement for buying wheat in March,
has prepared an exhibit covering 20 years.
showing that wheat bought at the low
price in March and sold at the high price
in May has paid a profit of not less than
SIC without an exception. If they had
taken the record of every month of the
20 years. they would have discovered that
purchases of wheat made at the low price
in any one of the 240 months with but
three exceptions, and sold at the high
price the following month would have
obtained a. profit. The month of Septem-
Der, 1888; October, 1882 and May, 1880, are
the exceptional months. The only diff
Guilty in working this valuable discovery
is to determine when the price has touch
ed bottom in one month and top in the
other. simpler and equally invaluable
rule is to always buy on the bottom and
sell on the top It is also true that in q
majority of the 20 years wheat has sold
lower in March than in February, but in
a majority of the years it has sold higher
in May than in April This information

Chicago, ILL.,. March 5.-WHEAT-
Market has been very erratic and trade
confined to local operators. Early
trading was at a slight advance over
previous close. Cables firm at sc ad-
vance. The statistics were inclined to
favor shorts side. Amount on passage
increased and worlds shipments heavy.
Our own visible supply increased $685. go
bushels, not quite as large as expected.
There was some inquiry for cash wheat
and a small quantity worked for ship
ment. Lack of speculative demand at
moment seems to be the one factor that
the bear element feel convinced will hold
prices from much of an advance. The
close is barely steady with the temper
of crowd quite bearish.
CORN-Has been slow and easier
Local longs sold freely. Seaboard was
best buyer and on a liberal scale. 1t
was claimed shipping demand here was
slow, but exporters claimed good sized
cable acceptances. Country accept
ances very light. The liberal increase
in visible was the best explanation for
the Indifferent market
OATS-Were sold freely by elevator
people. Buying scattered. Receipts
pretty liberal and speculation continues
dead
PROVISIONS-Dul1 and weak. Eng
fish houses covered some while outsiders
sold moderately. Dizziness and lack of
outside trade have been the features.
