THE BUTLER MISTAKE.

First an foremost, the court
says that the evidence of the man
who swore. at Columbia, that But
Ter offe. ed him a big roll o. money

weight. The court says that the
attempt TO bride was proved as
clear as daylight. Butler wanted a
new contract from the city at double
the price of his old one, an so be
goes around shakin' his money un-
der the noses of the men who had
the givin' o. that contract. They
had the givin' Of it, an they did
give it, an Butler got il, an has
since drawn over $4,000 out Of
the city treasury on 1t. All that's
as true as gospel, the court says,
but although them men did let oul
the contract they had no aighi to do
it. The man whose vote Butler
tried to buy with ss5oo had no legal
vote to sell. He dad vote, though,
an Butler got the contract, an
after he got it he went around to
that mans house again, an offered
him the same $4,000 be had offered
him before, because be, Butler, had
got what he wanted, an as be had
promised the man he was talkin' to
that, if he got that contract, an the

WHEAT STILL SAGS
Only Reckoning Feature Is Hope
That Prices Will Take an Up
ward Turn Soon.

The only redeeming feature Of the
wheat market today is the hope farm
ers hold out that the price of the Ce-
real will advance soon. Prices are
still sagging, according to local deal
ers who gave out quotations OF 6o
cents for club and around II for blue
stem today. Absolutely no grain Is
changing hands at these prices. The
Commercial Review this week has the
following On the export situation:
The wheat market during the past
week has Undergone material
change. Buyers are out with limits
greatly reduced on account OF the
falling off in the milling demand, as
most of the large export mills have
purchased considerable wheat ahead
that will enable them to run their
mills for some time to come. Farm
ers are quite firm in their ideas as 10
the value Of the cereal and refuse %
part with their holdings, unless their
views conform to that Of the buyer.
A great many say they prefer to pay
warehouse charge in lieu Of selling at
present prices, and a great many be-
ing in comfortable circumstances are
not compelled to sell. Limits are out
at present for club wheat on the basis
at tide water of 78c, for bluestem sc
per bushel, while valley wheat is held
very strong at SIC and SIC per bushel.
The heavy rains during the week have
caused some damage, particularly in
the Palouse and Big Bend districts,
and at the present writing it would be
difficult to estimate the amount of
damage that has been done, as SO
much depends on the weather from
now on. About so per cent of the
crop has been cut north of the Snake
River OF this, 25 per cent has been
threshed, 80 per cent cut and the bal
ance still standing. Reports of dam
age are from the districts embracing
Whitman, Garfield, Lincoln, Spokane
and Stevens counties, rain having fall
len continuously for the past two
weeks, heavy showers nearly every
day. Towards the close the market
is steady at above quotations and
these figures are several cents higher
than the export demand will permit.
