time, was considered one OF the best,

CORN KING CORNERED
Plunger Phillips is Compelled to
Close His Deals.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-George Phillips,
the ex-corn king, posted a notice on
the board of trade this morning or
dering all bis open trades closed.
He was forced to take this step on
account of his inability to meet the
demands for margins. and the fall
ure of promised outside assistance.
The raid on Phillips began yester-
day. He was in heavily on wheat
and rye and 1t was on the latter
cereal that the principal fight against
him was made. On the strength of
his announcement rye fell rapidly
from 662IIto go cents.
Phillips attorney advised him to
get out of the grain business, be-
cause of repeated raids that would
be made lon him by two big local
houses who were squeezed by Phil
lips in his corn deals. These houses,
it is claimed, have pounded him
mercllesslY, overlooking no opportu-
nifty to ruin bis deals. Since his last
failure Phillips has made $50, goo, but
every penny of this will be paid to
his customers, leaving him once
more fiat broke"

SPOIL CORONATION.
Beers Would Risk Their All to
Demoralize Festivities.

London, Jan. 1.-THE war office is
informed that the Beers are saving
their strength with view to striking
several heavy blows just previous to
the Kings coronation, and thus
spelling festivities. They think the
resulting moral effect on the English
opinion would be helpful to their
cause. Lord Kitchener has therefore
been urged to redouble his efforts to
terminate the war before the coro-
nation takes place.
Kitchener reports that the Boer
losses since the 9th of January have
been 200 killed, wounded, 2O3 cap
tured and 95 surrendered.
An official dispatch from Johannes
burg reports that Gen. Bruce Hamil-
toms force pursued Botha and four
hundred men for seven miles on the
18th, but we're forced to abandon the
chase because his horses gave out.
The Beers lost one killed and thirty
three captured. The British lost one
killed and four wounded.

WAR ON THE COYOTE.
Ranchmen Find That Greyhound
Alone Can Run the Pests
Down.

The ranchmen of the west, who have
suffered serious loss for many years
from the depredations of the coyotes,
think they have discovered means
for their determination. Greyhounds
alone of all the dog creation are fleet
of foot enough to run down the cow
ardly little pests and at the same time
brave enough to give them battle.
Ranchers throughout the country are
paying big prices for blooded dogs,
and the friendless coyote is on run
for his life. For years the ranchers
and plainsmen have been skeptical of
the stamina and fighting qualities Of
the greyhound in a finish fight with a
coyote, but that idea, unjust to the
big-heartcd dogs, is now entirely
eradicated.
Clinton Z. Worden, an enthusiastic
greyhound man, was the first to give
the dogs fair trial, and his experience
showed that greyhounds can run down
and kill singly and collectively hum
dreds of the marauders Of the plains.
At close quarters the coyote has not
the ghost of chance against the grey
hound, and when a pack Of the dogs
or a portion of them overhaul the
quarry it is very quick time to mince-
meat for the coyote.
Packs are now being trained on
numerous ranches, and the sport and
excitement of a coyote chase with
greybounds Is adding new zest to life
on the plains Incidentally the ranch
ers are Riding themselves OF disagree
able neighbors.

TaIk orNeyy CoIIepe paper.

There are rumors of new paper to
b started at Penn College. Several
OF the students have decided that the
Chronicle" does not come up to the
standard Of the college, and have
taken steps toward the opening of a
new sheet. 1t will be impossible for
both papers to remain long in exist

carried out it will arouse considerable
antagonism among the students. The
matter is being discussed quite freely
and the outcome is still doubtful.
Pres. Rosenberger has looked into
the matter and his decision is await
