GIRL is SET FREE.


Miss Jordine of Blooming ston, ILL.,, Is
Released from Custody.
At Bloomington, ILL.,. Maud Jordine
was found not guilty of the terrible
charge of numbering her baby sister.
When Justice a. b. Heineman freed the
17-year-old prisoner, after hearing
which lasted less than two hours, the
mystery surrounding the death of the
little one became as deep as ever.
Last week Maud Jordine returned
home from a neighbor's early in the even
ing and left her 2-year-old sister Mabel
to sleep while she went back to her
friends for an hour. When Miss Jordine
came home the baby was missing. The
next afternoon the body of the infant,
frightfully mutilated, was found in a
pasture a mile away. The first theory
advanced was that some insane person
or tramp had abducted the little girl
and murdered her.
Tuesday Maud Jordine was arrested
on the charge of murder by Detective ].
p. Butler.
When the result was announced But.
Ter was hissed. while there were cheers
and congratulations for the fair prisoner.
There was some fear expressed that over
excited friends of the girl might offer
personal violence to the officer, but for
tunately nothing of the kind took place.
He took his defeat coolly and said that
he was just as thoroughly satisfied as
ever that his course was right, and if
the witnesses had told on the stand what
they had told him and others previously
to the hearing the outcome would have
been different
The State presented twenty-four wit
nesses, although not all We're placed on
the stand. The evidence presented was
calculated to show that Maud had ex-
pressed her loathing of the task of caring
for the baby and that she did not intend
to keep up this sort of work always.

especially in the interior. shows the en-
couraging effect of brighter agricultural
prospects. There is the customary ex-
cessive demand for farm hands. Re
ports of holiday traffic and trade in holi-
day goods indicate no diminution in pur-
chasing power, and semi-annual inven-
tories show more gratifying situation
than expected" according to r. G. Dun
X Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade. Con-
tinuing, the report says:
There is less than the usual midsum-
mer idieness in manufacturing except in
the cotton industry. Commodity prices
advanced slightly during June, Dun's
index number on July l being 500, ,456,
compared with $9S,936 a month earlier.
A decline of "a per cent is recorded in
comparison with July, 1902, chiefly in
articles of food. Railway earnings for
June are 13.1 per cent larger than last
year and 2o.3 in excess of 1901.
Installation of new converters and 9TH
er repairs interfere with work at some
prominent steel mills, which explains in
part the quiet condition of the market.
Bessemer pig delivered at Pittsburg can
be bought for $1S.75, which is the low
est point thus far of the recent decline.
Structural material Is again an active
feature, especially for large buildings and
railway bridges at the West.
Makers of agricultural implements and
vehicles are liberal purchasers of bar
iron. Tin and copper are again lower,
the latter selling below the official quota
ton, which has been reduced to IA cents.
Bradstreet's Trade Review.
Weather conditions continue almost
perfect. The winter wheat crop har-
vest has about been completed, with
considerably larger yield than last year.
Retail trade in summer goods has i'm
proved, and recorders from jobbers are
larger in volume. Confidence in large
fall trade grows as corn and cotton make
up for their early backward star. Rail
road earnings continue to show gains
over all preceding years-the increase for
June is fully ,12 per cent-and prices
display exceptional steadiness for a
midsummer period.
Eastern shoe shipments are IA per cent
less than last week, but IS per cent larg-
er than last year.

The crop situation has

Chicago.

L l
on analysis of existing con-
ditions it is now possible to arrive at
some definite conclusions: 1t is a certain
ty that the lower prices for our cereal
products that earlier in the season SEEM
ed clearly foreshadowed are not to be
realized. Remuneratiye prices may be
expected for almost everything the farm
er will raise this year, while in the great
staples, especially wheat, there is every
probability that the coming crop will
sell at prices averaging higher than for
several years.
The three great States Of Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota produc-
ed in 1901 about 173 100000 bushels of
wheat, and in 1902 about 1IS,00O,0OO. If
We assume that these three States will
raise $50 co., 600 bushels on the standing
crop, it is clear that an increase of only
/ cent bushel in the average selling
price would mean $1,SOO,O0O; 5 cents
would mean $4,000, 600, while an average
price 10 cents above that of last year
would mean $1S,OOO,OOO more for the
farmers. IL 1900 the average farm price
of wheat in this country was 62 cents; in
1901 GA cents, in 1902 63 cents. Last
years average was not a high figure for
wheat. There is everything to Indicate
that it will average higher this year.
Late reports from the winter wheat
fields are running less favorable. while in
the Northwest serious deterioration is
found in places as result of the recent
drought. Let no one suppose from this
that we are not to have much wheat.
There is likely to be an exportable sur
plus above the average, but late reduc-
tions in estimate of probable yield are
very important for the reason that early
in the season, too early in fact for relia-
bility, there was such an acreage and
such a condition as to suggest to some
observers the possibility of a production
of SOO,OOO,O0O bushels. The impression
spread through many minds that the
United States stood to produce a guam
tity of wheat greatly in excess of any
thing ever before known, and this idea
took root abroad and even to the pres
ent time has not been entirely eradicated.
As every farmer knows, it is the export
demand that>is the determining factor in
making wheat prices in the long run.
Europe must have an additional 160,-
100000 bushels of wheat beyond doubt.
This we know from our own consular
reports, from the reports of -Broomhall,
the English authority. and from the sum-
mary of the London Statist cabled across
only this week. Foreign buyers may hold
off long, but soon or late We will feel
the effect of increased demand. With
700, 100000 bushels of wheat we will
have plenty to sell, but We will not have
to beg Europe to take it from us, and no
one should lose sight of this as an impor-
tan. factor for our continued prosperity.
