THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
A Slight Rally in Wheat After Lower
Opeui:t. Figures

CHICAGO. April 25.-Wheat opened
lower on the tame Liverpool cables.which
were unchanged to I'D lower, and the
bearish weekly report of the Price Cur
rent" Commission houses were liberal
sellers. but the local trade was buliishly
inclined and bought. The strength in
coarse grains and scattered damage re-
ports from the Southwest brought about
a nc rally. part of which was main
tanned at the close. Advices from Cali
fornia were that considerable damage has
been caused by dry weather. and rain Is
badly needed. The feature was the liberal
short covering of May wheat. Paris
closed 14d%c higher; Antwerp, &c higher;
Berlin SIC lower Cash sales were 2OO,oO9
bushels. The seaboard reported 16 loads.
Primary receipts 5000 bushels under last
year.
Corn was again excited and strong, with
May attracting the most attention. 1t
sold at 49c, the highest price yet reached.
On the advance Phillips was a free sell

by prominent elevator firms and receiv-
ing houses. There was also scattered COM

Oats were active and averaged higher
July showed more firmness than May
The heavy selling of May relieved the
apprehension OF a squeeze in that
month. Outsiders Were buying July on
the backward crop conditions. The cash
demand was rather slow, only 5000 bush
els. Today's CARROTS were 159, with 70
estimated.
Provisions advanced sharply on buying
by packers. Large packers led in the
upward movement. Profit taking by local
longs caused some reaction, the market
closing steady. An improved shipping
demand was the basis for higher prices.

Another booming opening characterized
the stock market yesterday morning. I'm
der the lead Of Union Pacific, Baltimore
and Ohio, St. Paul. and the Atchisons
the other railway securities all opened
higher and made fine gains during the
first hour Of the day. There was nothing
new in the market tendency, the buying

Baltimore and Ohio for the insiders be-
ing immense, and the selling of the gen.
eral list by the same parties under cover
being quite as certain, though not as con-
spicuous, and not meant TO be. Later in
the day the market became extremely
Irregular. For the most part the early
prices were the best. Conservative peo-

stock at this time, and for the most part
advise against IL entirely. 1t is interest

A TRAMP's CRIME.
Intense Excitement In Lansing, Kan, Over
an Assault Committed on Miss
Ethel Bonnie.

Leavenworth, Kan, May s.-Niss
Bonnie, daughter of G. W. Bonnie,
an employee of the state penitentiary,
while gathering mushrooms near
Lansing was struck on the back of
the head by an unknown person and
rendered unconscious, after which
she was assaulted and her body
thrown into an old well, for the pur-
pose of hiding the crime. The young
lady regained consciousness and
after repeated attempts reached the
surface, where she was afterwards
found in dazed condition. She was
conveyed home, where she told of the
crime. Searching parties are scour-
ing the country and the feeling is so
intense that if caught her assailant
would probably be lynched. At a
late hour last night she &vas still I'M
conscious and no detailed account of
the assault could be obtained.

Kansas City Court OF Appeals Holds Invalid
Policy Where an Interesting Legal
Problem W2s Involved.

Kansas City, Mo-, May s.-Judge
Ellison, of the Kansas City court of
appeals, rendered a decision which
involves an interesting life insurance
question, in deciding the case of Wal
ter NJ. Reynolds against the Pruden-
tial Insurance company. Reynolds
secured a policy for $1,000 on the life
of his brother, who died within
short time, only one premium having
been paid, and that was paid by Rey
nolds. The brother made affidavit at
the examination that he was not
consumptive, but the compny claims
he died of consumption and resists
payment on that ground. ''We are of
the opinion" says Judge Ellison, ''that
adult brothers, neither dependent up
on the other, have not from the mere
relationship an insurable interest in
the life of the other. And, therefore,
neither can make a valid contract of
insurance insuring the life of the 9th
er for his benefit

ITALIANS MoBBED.
Strikers at the Cement Works at lola,
Kan, Make q Move to Run Men

lola, Kan, May 9.-The widest
scene ever witnessed in lola since the
days of the border warfare developed
last night when workmen from the
smelters joined with workmen from
the lola Portland cement plant to
run cargo of Italians out of town.
About nine o'clock a crowd of the
old workmen, augmented by men
from the smeIters, went to the lit
tie camp of tents on the creek bank
near the factory, surrounded the II
Italians inside and demanded that
they come out. The Italians answered
by firing several shots, and the crowd
outside Immediately replied. Reports
are wild, but it is said three local men
were slightly wounded and one Ital-
ian shot in the back. The Italians
broke from the tents and took to the
woods, but were quickly captured
and marched through town to the
Santa Fe depot, where they were
held until the northbound passenger
train arrived, when it was intended
TO put them aboard by force and ship
them out.

M'KINLEY AT Ell PAso.
Reception on the Border Was Participated
In by Two Republics and Was OF an
international Character.

FL Paso, Tex, May THE Ameri-
can and Mexican flags were inter
twined in the decorations of the plaza
where the official greeting of Presi-
dent Mckinley and his cabinet took
place here yesterday morning. The
presence on the stand of Gen. Herman
dez, personal representative of Presi-
dent Diaz, and the governor of the
state of Chihuahua, gave an interest
ing significance to the event. There
were thousands of Mexicans in the
vast concourse of people to whom
the president spoke and their enthu-
siasm was almost as wild as that of
the Americans. Gen. Hernandez adj
dressed the president on behalf of his
president, extending the 1atter's con-
gratulations. and President McKin-
ley in his response paid a high trib-
ute to the president of the Mexican
republic and charged his emissary to
convey to his chief his warm regard
and personal esteem with his best
wishes for the continued prosperity
of our sister republic.
The presidents speech was very
happy and was especially notable on
account of his injunction to the peo-
pie not to be alarmed about imperial
ism. There was, he said, no imperial
ism except the imperial power of the
sovereign people of the United States.

different places, but that never before

FREEDOM is NEAR.
Cole and James Younger Will Soon
Receive a Parole.
For 20 Years the Noted ex-Bandits Have
Been Paying the Penalty of Their
MisdOIng-Friends Have Never
Deserted Them.

ST. Paul, Mimi. May Sat a regu-
lar meeting of the board of managers
of the state prison Tuesday at Still
water, unanimous action was taken in
favor of paroling the Younger boys,
now serving life sentences. Before the
parole can be effective all three MEM
bers of the state pardon board must
approve it, and the action will be sub
mitted to that body as soon as posi-
BILE. This is in accordance with the
new parole law which allows the pa
role of life prisoners after about "a
years imprisonment, being IS years
less time gained by good behavior.
Paroles usually are granted by the
prison managers alone, but in the
case of life prisoners unanimous APP
proval of the board of pardons is also
necessary, and prisoners cannot leave
the state. The pardon board does not
meet regularly until in July. but
special meeting may be called if the
members of the board consider one
necessary.
The Younger brothers have been in
Saltwater since 1876 for the North
field bank robbery and the murder
committed during the progress of the
raid. Cole, James and "Bob'' Younger
were imprisoned for their notorious
raid OH the bank of Northfield in Sep
TENDER, 1876. The James brothers,
Jesse and Frank, escaped to Missouri.
Two members of the gang were killed.
Subsequently Bob" Younger died in
prison. For six years attempts have
been made during every session of
the legislature to secure the enact
ment of a law permitting the parole
of life prisoners. This winter it passed
both houses and went to the govern
or. Before it was signed it was re-
called, reconsidered and killed. The
following day it was reconsidered and
passed and became a law. The bill
was passed with especial reference to
the Younger brothers, as there is only
one other life-term man who comes
within the requirements of 25-year
imprisonment before action can be
taken

At Dinner in Pekin the General De-

Never Fight Each Other.

PeIin, May 9.-Some evenings ago
Gen. Gaselee gave smoking concert
in the Temple of Heaven in honor of
Gen. Chaffee and his officers. Gen.
Chaffee made a pleasant speech, which
caused comment and adverse criticism
outside the British camp. The fol-
lowing version was published in the
official organ of the British legation
and was accepted on all sides as cor
rect: Let kings, ministers and pol
iticians say what they may" said Gen.
Chaffee, "but I can tell you this, that
never will you see Americans and
Britishers facing each other in the
field. Our national policy may be
to steer clear of international COM
plications, but should circumstances
arise in which we must make choice,
our inclination will be with the Brit
ishers.''
