July and September deliveries. He had
probably 100000 or 100000 bushels
for May, and made about 10 cents a
5ushel profit on 100000 bushels of it
sold in the pit.
The Phillips May corn deal is held by
Old-time members of the Board of Trade
as one of the most remarkable specula-
tive feats in the history of the board.
Covering a perioi of about three months,
the deal has involved, according to the
popular estimate, as much as 15,0O0,000
bushels, on which it is figured Philips
and his customers have made a profit of
about S750000, although the expenses
of the deal will cut this down somewhat.
The price of May corn advanced from 30
cents to go cents. The Phillips holdings
are said to show an average profit of 10
cents a bushel, with the exception of the
several millions of cash corn which Phil
iDs was obliged to take in on deliveries.

nivaI of Bloodshed.

nival of Bloodshed.
Murderous hate, inspired by an injus-
tice which he believed had been done to
his father in business matters, caused
Evert Conway of Evansville, Ind, TO kill
his neghbor and his neighbours wife, IA
tally wound a policeman and shoot two
other men. In his rage he killed every
COW in his neighbours stable, set the sta
Bile on FIRE and just missed shooting his
own father when the latter tried to in
terfere with him. He ended his bloody
course in his own home, where he shot
himself through the heart, after the en-
tire police force of the city, numbering
fifty men, had surrounded the house and
made his escape impossible.
Conways father recently sold dairy
to the neighbor Garrison, and his son
didn't like it. He wrote several threat
ening letters to Garrison. but they were
disregarded Sunday morning Conway
went TO the stable where Garrison was
milking and shot him dead. He then
turned his gun on his father, who tried
to interfere Mrs. Garrison ran into the
back yard and Conway shot her as she
descended the steEs He then barricaded
himself in his house. and when Police
man Wallis tried to arrest him, shot him.
A riot alarm was turned in and the en-
tire police department responded. Be-
fore the police arrived Conway went into
his own home next door and kissing his
wife good-by, went upstairs and shot HIM
self in the heart. He died instantly.

Gas sto.e ExpIndes.

An explosion OF a gas stove occurred
at the home of E. S. Shippee in Kenosha,
by which the house was badly wrecked
and the stove and other furniture in the
kitchen were torn into a thousand pieces.
The explosion was a terrific one, the
force breaking windows in the house and
SCATTERING the rear wall. Mrs. Shippee
had beca at work in the kitchen a mo-
ment before the explosion occurred, but
was far enough away from the stove to
escape serious INJURY.

MRS M'NiNLEY rs BETTER.
Physicians Now Take Very Hopeful
View of Her Case.

Mrs. Mckinley has continued to i'm
prove and her physicians are very hope
ful. Her condition was so far improved
Sunday evening that she was able to sit
up while. During the Presidents alb
sence at the launching OF the battleship
Ohio Mrs. Mckinley slept quietly.
1t is learned that the rally which
marked the turning point in Mrs, Me-
hinley's illness came Immediately after
treatment on Thursday which included
saline injection directly into the blood.
Her pulse showed quick improvement
and she has continued TO improve ever
since. Leading phys ,ians who have
been Informed of the course of treat
ment which has been pursued not only
entertain the hope but have confidence
in the prediction that the patient will
Lave better health in the future than
she has had for many years.
President Mckinley is in receipt of
cablegrams from the King and Queen Of
England, President Loubet of France
and many other European potentates IN
curing as to Mrs. McIlinley's condition.
The President and his wife will go di-
rect from San Francisco to Canton. At
Mrs. Mckinley's old home, surrounded
by familiar faces and with every COM
fort, it is expected that her recuperaiion
will be more rapid than if she went to
Washington. President Mckinley spends
much of each summer at Canton, and
the arrival there will not be Tar from
the date of his regular annual visit He
will probably icceed Immediately to
Washington after leaving Mrs. Mckin-
ley, returning to Canton as soon us the
more pressing public business has. been
disposed of. Miss Mary Barber, Mrs.
McKinley's Aleee, will go with Ms. Nc
Kinley to Canton.
The Ogden route will be taken. The
train will be about as large as the one
that came West, having accommodations
for the President and cabinet and ladies,
Secretary and Mrs. Cortelyou, DR.. and
Mrs. Rixey, Mr.. and Mrs. Moore. Assist
ant Secretary Barnes and the White

The legislative session just closed has
beer one Of the most remarkable IN the
history Of Wisconsin, being the longest
ever held, as well as the moss fruit!ess
and being marked By animosities and
chickering's among the members OF the
dominant party such as has not been
known when opposing parties were more
evenly matched. No other executive has
vetoed measures so fearlessly and often
as has GOV. La Toilette. Many impor-
tant bills We're killed during the session,
the chief ones being the various taxation
measures. A large number met death by
executive veto. such as the Hagemeister
primary bill, the dog tax bill, the bill ex~
empting the Milwaukee exposition from
taxation, the measure to increase the
salaries Of the police and fire chiefs OF
Milwaukee and the bill giving police pow
ers to street railway employees, Among
the important measures to die IN one
house or another were: The Overlook

Of agriculture, to prevent the running OF
double-header trains and TO increase the
pay of members of the Legislature from

POLITICAL POTPIE

Judging from reports that come
from Olympia, the Ankeny ''push'
in the legislature there is not hav-
ing as smooth sailing as the public
has been led to believe, and they will
doubtless grow weaker instead Of
stronger during the next two years.
Ankeny has always been troubled
with too many leaders and managers,
and scarcely one Of them has any
confidence in any of his brother
mangares; in fact, they have very
little respect for each other First
it was intended to organize a Foster
Ankeny combine, but this has been
made impossible by reason of the i'm
possibility of getting some of their
followers together, and the attempt
has been practically abandoned.
There has always been bad blood
between Judge Grosscup and George
Z. Pi per, the respective Foster and
Ankeny managers, and there is no
prospect of them ever getting to-
gether. In fact, Grosscup has been
heard to say that, much as he dis
liked John l.. Wilson, he considered
the interests of the Republican party
infinitely better off with Wilson and
his friends in control than with An
keny and Piper. His contempt for
Piper is said to be almost beyond ex-
pressing, and he makes no secret Of
it, either Just what causes led to
this bitterness is not known, but
that it exists is known throughout
the state
There is a story to the effect that
some years ago George Piper and J.
Howard Watson, then representing
the Oregonian and Spokesman-Re-
view during a session Of the legisla-
ture, tried to ''hold up" George H.
Stevenson, the railroad lobbyist, for
$500, and that Piper and Watson
were then and there "blacklisted"
by all railroads having business be-
fore the legislature. The railroad
people for whom Stevenson was
working, is is said, had influence
enough with the Oregonian manage
ment to have Piper called down good
and hard for this alleged attempt al
blackmail, and caused Piper and
Watson to swear eternal vengeance
on Stevenson and his railroad inter
ests,

BRYAN A SELF-ADVERTISER.

Advertising pays, and it pays well
when it begins to pay No one knows
this better than does William Jen-
nings Bryan, the late Democratic
candidate for the United States pres
idency. Owing to the fact that Mr..
Bryan has twice been nominated for
the presidency of the United States,
and owing to the fact that he has
caused such a disturbance in the
money markets Of the world, he has
received that amount Of advertising
as to make anything he says or does
bear a consideration, and to give
him a vast amount Of public noto-
riety. Recently Mr.. Bryan con-
ceived the idea of starting a weekly
newspaper, and the rush for the ini-
tial number of that paper was so
great that he was compelled to put
out $4,000 copies instead of 10000,

CRAZY snake TWISTS.

An uprising in the Indian Terri
tory among the Creek Indians has
called for considerable comment
throughout the United States within
the past week. The Greek Indians,
led by Crazy Snake, had worked
themselves up to the idea that the
United States government wos not
treating them fairly and was robbing
them of their rights as Indians, which
rights had not only been conferred
upon them by their forefathers, but
also by a previous act Of congress.
and in order to protect themselves
they donned their tomahawks and
arrows, perhaps with few repeating
rifles thrown in, and took to the
warpath. The United States mar
shals that first went to quell the riot
ers were roughly handled, and one of
them, an Indian policeman, was
killed. Help from the war depart
ment was asked for, and the presi-
dent ordered Gen. Lee to send as
many troops as in his judgment he
thought sufficient to put down the
rioters, which was Immediately done
and while the Indians are not per
fectly at rest at present, they are
so handicapped by the soldiers thai
