little figure during the week, their in

on Is expected to be the ruling influence in
prices. At close Sept. was 70hc sellers. Dec.

The speculative actions Of the local corn
market were pretty much all one way, the
chief feature throughout the week being
the heavy selling that was INDUCED In, with
hardly any intermission from the time the
market opened until 1t closed, not alone
here. but at all the leading markets Of the
country, the result Of which was that large
ly lower prices took the place of the recent
advance. a change from bullish to bearish
sentiment and feeling also taking place. and
the predicted 1sc corn disappeared complete
ly from view. Crop conditions were largely
responsible for this state Of things, i'm
proved conditions being reported. especially
abroad, and good rains reported in sections
where most needed. There was not a single
reaction Of importance during the entire
week. the heavy and continued selling pre-
venting anything of the kind. Receipts and
shipments during the week were small, as
also were the export ~clearances. nothing. In
fact, being done on foreign account, and the
cash business otherwise was exceedingly
unsatisfactory not to say poor. All through
the week weather conditions were reported
as favorable. and advices received during
the two closing days noted a general and
decided Improvement in the crop. There was
but little change in values yesterday from
the day before. but for the week losses
were heavy and Sept. closed with BUYERS at

under the influence of corn. There was
very little speculation In this grain and a
dull market was experienced most of the

Pope Led on Anarchy.

Rome, Sept. 10.-The pope yester-
day, after mass, conversed with sever
al cardinals concerning the shooting
Of President Mckinley and expressed
his strong regrets.
1T is d%eplorable that modern socie-
ty," he said, cannot protect itself
against the sec that, under the guise
Of politics, commits the most horrible
crimes, striking down the chiefs of
states having the greatest civil liber-
ty, casting confusion into the midst
Of the most peaceful and industrious Of
nations.
"Mr. Mckinley is a model man and
president. Whoever strikes such a
man ID q mailman or a depraved Of
fender. The wounds inflicted upon the
American president are a bloody in

Bryan on Anarchy.

Buffalo, Sept. Town.. J.. Bryan
telegraphed the Times as follows
Free governments may be over
thrown, but can not be reformed by
those who violate the commandment,
Thou shalt not kill Under a govern
ment like ours, every wrong car be
remedied by laws and laws are in the
hands of the people thmselves. An
archy can neither be excused o toll
Grated here.
THE man who proposes to right a
public wrong by taking the life of a
human being, makes himself an out
law and cannot consistently appeal to
the protection Of the government
which he repudiates. He invites a re-
turn to b%arbarism, in which one must,
at his own risk, defend his own rights
and avenge his own wrongs. The pun
ishment administered to the would-be
assassin and to his co-conspirators, If
he have any, should be such as to
warn all inclined to anarchy that while
this is an asylum for those who love
liberty It Is an inhospitable place for
those who raise their hands against
all forms Of government.

After Emma Goldman.

Buffalo, Sept. 16.-Many sensational
reports are being circulated about
some action looking to the apprehen.
sion and prosecution of Emma Gold
man and leaders of anarchist %organiza-
tions. the mysterious directions from
the secretary of war to the chief of po-
lice here, and developments of a start
ling nature are anticipated. A great
majority Of these reports, in the words
of a cabinet officer, are manufactured
out of whole cloth"
The question Of the prosecution of
CZolgosZ in the cabinets opinion, is
purely a local affair. There is no gov
eminent statute covering All assault
upon the president Of the United
States. and in the eye of the law the
crime of last Friday is merely a local
offense, committed against a private
citizen in violation Of the laws Of the
state of New York.
There are many requests to Secre.
tary Root, the superintendent of police
and the district attorney here. n de
signed to prevent the would.be assas
sin from being made a hero by exploit.
tation. It al be stated upon the au-
thority Of a cabinet officer that no gen
eral movement against anarchists is
contemplated.
No specific order for arrest or de-
tention of Emma Goldman has been
sent out by Superintendent Bull, but
1t is possible she will be arrested on
the general request that the police
throughout the country locate n ex-
anime any person who may be suspect
ed of completely in the crime.
The police are endeavoring to trace
her movements Immediately before
and after the president was shot.

last night II go back tonight because
I have most positive assurance that
the president is going to make rapid
recovery"
In fact, by 1890 o'clock the entire
temper Of everybody about the Mil
burn residence seemed to have under
gone a radical change. The police did
not stop wagons from going by the
nearest corner at high speed. The
regular army guard was not so partic-
ular about those who passed up the
guarded street. Even those who came
from the mansion where the wounded
man lies stopped on the corner to
laugh and chat.
From somber foreboding the feeling
has suddenly turned to joyful conf
dence that the nations ruler is to be
spared. The $3.50 bulletin, as prom
Used, was to be the last for the night,
and while 1t was brief, attention is
called to the fact that the pulse is ex-
actly the same as in the morning, 112,
and temperature eight-tenths of a de-
gree lower, highly favorable symp-
toms.
Senator Hanna was the last official
caller at the house. He stayed only a
few minutes, but during that time had
a short interview with Dr. McBurney.
When he came out he declined to talk
further than to say: Everything is
all right, and If imrovement continues

ed to by some New York financial in
stitutions to relieve the money market
by increasing the deposits in national
banks. Representations are being
made to the effect hat while the inter-
ior is demanding money to move crops,

. HORSE PLUNGES
INTO WIRE FENCE.

While driving to town last Saturday
|. S. Sluss, the genial sawmill man of
Lower Kara creek, net with an acct
which almost resulted in the
death of one of his most valuable
horses, says the Crook County Mont
tor. The animal became frightened
and unmanageable a short distance
west OF town and plunged into a wire
fence which laid open to the bone the
muscles of one of his forelegs. Several
stitches were taken in the ugly wound
and twice torn out by the powerful
large horse in his vicious struggles to
release himself. 1t is thought the ami.
NAL will recover so as to be of some
use.

Milburn House, Buffalo, N. Y, Sept.
10.-Dr. McBurney said to an Associ.
atsd Press representative after the is-
pue Of the 3 o'clock bulletin that all
indications continued favorable. NO
bad symptoms have appeared" said
he. mo n can say now that the
president is out Of danger, and for a
week still a possibility Of complica-
tons may exist. At the end of that
time, if all goes we'll. we may be able
to say he is convalescent."
But I have known cases. put in
DR.. Mann, who is a noted surgeon, TO
go well for ten days and then change
for the worse"
That is true. perhaps" said DR..
McBurney, somewhat deprecatingly,
but it is entirely unusual. II the pres
ident continues to improve for a
week." he continued, I'VE may safely
say he is convalescent. 1t will prob
ably be three weeks before 1t will be
safe to move him. We must wait un-
til the outer wound is healed and
strong. The inner wounds through
the stomach proper may be strong be
fore the exterior wound is. How long
it will be before he will be able to sit
up will depend upon the rapidity Of
his improvement. and l may say to you
further that his improvement, If it
continues. promises to be rapid"
DR.. McBdrney was asked to compare
the Garfield case and treatment with
that Of President Mckinley. He
smiled as he replied, ITO do SO would
be to give the whole history and pro-
gress OF surgery during the last TWEEN
ty years. Besides" he said the cases
are utterly deterrent. Garfield's wound
was an extremely unfortunate one in
every way. 1t was difficult to handle;
1t was impossible to get at the bullet,
while the wound of President McKin-
ley is in many respects a lucky one
No comparison is possible"
Turning to the Associated Press
representative, DR.. McBurney said:
You may assure your clientele that
all goes we'll. President McKinley's
condition could hardly be more salts
factory. Furthermore, you may i'm
press and emphasize the fact that bull.
letins issued are the truth"
DR.. Mann said some nourishment was
administered yesterday in the form Of
enema and he had taken water in the
stomach. 1t was found that cold water
did not agree with him, and instead
water as hot as the president can bear
1t is now being administered. The
presidents bowels moved freely and
this is considered an excellent symp-
tom.
