CORN PRICES AND STOCK
SHIPMENT.

In western territory live stock and
cereals are leading factors of domestic
trade movements. The live stock re-
ceipts at the five principal markets OF
Chicago, Kansas City. Omaha, st. Louis
and St. Joseph during 1901 show re-
markable gains over last year, both as
regards April and the four months end
ing with April. the official receipts of
cattle. hogs. and sheep in the four
months just ended showing an increase
of s59,417 head as compared with the
corresponding four months of 1900.
The rise in the price Of corn is point
ed out as being largely responsible for
this increased movement OF live stock
to market. it having become more pro
fitable to sell corn at rs per cent above
last years price than to keep the stock
on such high priced feed

MORE MEN NEEDED.
Demand Greater Than Supply at Lo-
cal Employment Agency.

The local labor bureau is experience
ing great difficulty in securing men to
send out to the harvest fields. This
morning a plea for 100 men came from
La Crosse and Rush Center. OF this
number about 80 have been supplied.
Ottawa county needs a hundred men
and only few have been sent there.
The state employment department
has only been organized for about one
month but in that time it has accomp-
lished much in helping the employer
and the employe in coming to satisfac-
tory terms.
Heretofore the men who have been
seeking work in the harvest fields have
had no directions where to go and con-
sequently great numbers would go to
one place when they were needed in
other localities. The employment de-
partment has been instrumental in dis
tributing the labor in the state where it
is needed.

An event of sufficient Importance to
be noted in its bearing upon the in
ternal commerce of the country is the
shipment of a carload Of Valencia
oranges from Southern California. to
Portland. Ore, destined for vladivostolz
Siberia This is the first fruit shipment
of the kind. and illustrates the tendency
in this branch of production to relieve
itself from the necessity of depending
solely on the domestic and European
markets. The failure of California
orange growers to find a SUFFICIENT sun
ply Of cars to enable them to put their
fruit on the eastern market and the
high rates Of ocean freight from the
Atlantic seaboard to Europe have con-
spired to force the growers either to
work up the product at home or to find
new markets in the far east Another
experimental feature in the distribution
Of the citrus fruit crop Of California
is the shipment eastward by way of
coastWise steamers from Redondo to
Seattle. thence over the Great Northern
railroad to points as far east as Chi
cago- Several train loads have been
marketed over this route.

BURGLAR AT BAY
Farmers Have Him Surrounded
in a Wood.

Chillicothe, O.. June ia posse of
farmers have surrounded a strip of
woodland near here and the sheriff
has been sent for to assist in the cap
ture of a desperate burglar who oper-
ated here last night on a wholesale
scale. Beginning with a holdup on the
street, the desperate entered three
residences, the last being James Car
rolls, where he attempted to assault
one of Mr.. CAROLS daughters. From
there the burglar went to Kitnickitnick
six miles north, where he entered the
house of John Moss and attempted to
assault Mrs. Moss, who was alone. She
fought him of and aroused the neigh
bors. The robber fled and pursuit was
taken up by a posse, who tracked the
fellow to a piece of woods where they
now have him surrounded. The farm
ers are armed with guns of all descrip-
tiOns and are waiting for Sheriff De
vine to arrive from this city. There is
great excitement. and it is probable a
lynching will follow if he is captured.
