VICTIM OF INCLUDED YOUTH
Boy Goes to the Reform school
Until HI O of
Age.

Judge Estelle has sentenced VIII Davis,
aged II, to serve at the state reform school
until he is of age. The boy had pleaded
guilty TO a charge Of grand larceny and to
another Of daylight breaking and entering.
Some OF his acquaintances insist that the
boy is the victim of al unguided youth,
his parents having died some years ago,
leaving him without a relative and appar-
emily without a substantial friend in all the
world. The first man to assist him at all,
it is said, vas a ~saloonkeeper with a heart
that was better than his way Of doing
business. and with the boy II was the old
story Of the vice that is hrst abhorred, then
pitied and then embraced.

robbed Of $40 Friday night by an unidenti-
fed man with whom he spent the night.
Ballings came to Omaha to celebrate, and
after getting in that condition where he
didn't care whether school kept or not, ran
onto the stranger. The men took a few
drinks together and then the stranger in
vited Hans to share his room at a Farnam
street lodging house. Hans gladly accepted
the invitation, telling the stranger that he
desired to go to bed at once, as he had con
siderable money in his possession and he
feared robbers. When Hans .awoke yesterday

LONDON, July 6.-The amount of bull
lion taken into the Bank of England on
balance today was $4,000. Gold premiums
are quoted as follows: Buenos Ayres, 129. 90;
Madrid, 116. 40; Lisbon, 1850. The release Of
government dividends accentuated the ease
Of money, which was in moderate demand
today. 1t is estimated that nearly 10000
600 must be paid to the Bank of England
early next week. The purchase of gold in
the o2en market for shipment to France
steadied discounts. Business on the Stock
exchange was undecided and the absence
of transactions inclined to make stocks
easier. Consols were dull. Americans were
practically at a standstill, owing to the
absence Of New York quotations. Kafirs
were weak on the approach of the set
Element and the fact that overloaded pro-
fessionals were trying to realize, the pros
poets that carry over facilities will be re-
fused in many cases causing anxiety.
PARIS. July 5.-Business on the bourse
today opened dull and transactions were
restricted. Later certain stocks were ia
vorably inclined, especially Russian indus
trials. Kafirs were weak and finished at
the lowest prices of the day. RioN tintos

count was unchanged at 9-l6 per cent.

ST. LOUIS, July 5.-The attendance on
the curb today was unusually light. Senti-
ment was bearish, the generally fair
weather and reports of a reassuring char
acter from the crops having such an effect
that all the pressure was on the selling
side. Receipts were 1853, 231 bl., wheat since
Thurcday, 1900 blu. corn and 1900 blu. Of
oats. So great was the selling pressure
on the curb that September wheat sold at

the same days of last week or of last year.

but as they failed 70 get the hogs they
was done on a basis of steady to strong
prices. AS the morning advanced the mar
ket seemed to gain In strength, and in
some cases sales were made that looked
strong to Be higher. Owing to the limited
offerings the bulk was disposed Of in good
season. Packers seemed to be anxious for
the good. weight hogs, but the light stun
was neglected the same as usual. The
the sales DO not s4hsw up the full strength
weight hogs sold from $40 TO s7.B and as
high as yi.s2t was paid. The medium
and the light stun sold from $50 down A
few loads that came in late did not sell
quite as we'll,
shape all the week, with the general ten
dency Of prices upward, and In fact the
high point Of the year 10 date has been
reached this week There was a slight
regained today, so that the total advance
