RICH MAN MURDERED
Charles GoIdstein, a Millionaire With
Large Business and Mining interests
In Dallas and Dawson City, Assas.
sinated at Dallas.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 7.--Charles Gold
stein, a millionaire, with large bust
ness and mining interests in Dawson
City. Alaska, was murdered in Dallas
Monday night and the body was rob
bed OF $4,000 In money and diamonds
valued at $500, a costly watch and
other valuables. The corpse was found
yesterday in the southern suburb or
the city. The top Of the head had been
blown off and large pistol with two
chambers empty was lying near. Some
other instrument had also been used
to crush the skull on the left side of
the head. Goldstein, who had spent
the last thirty days In Dallas, had made
all arrangements to start on his re-
turn to Dawson City.
Detectives are working on the theory
that Goldstein was murdered for re-
venge. He is known to have been In
terested in several private club
rooms" in Dallas and Dawson City.
One Of these resorts. on the fourth
floor Of a Dallas hotel and occupying
four rooms, was dynamited Sunday
last. Had the dynamite been placed at
the other end Of the suite of rooms not
fewer than twenty men would have
been killed, according to the state
ment Of Chief Of Detectives Alexander
Of the Dallas police department. AS
1t was the explosion did only property
damage to the extent Of several hun
bred dollars.
Kidnapped and Murdered.
Charles Goldstein was among the
social party of men whom It was at
tempted to dynamite.
Chief Alexander said: Whenever
we get the perpetrators of the dyna-
mite explosion we'll have the murder
ers Of Charles Goldstein.'
In this view Chief Alexander Is IN
dorsed by all the officials OF the police
and sheriff,s department. That is the
only theory that Is being worked on.
It is believed Goldstein was KIDNAPPED
and taken to the place where ne was
murdered.

WHEAT RULED LOWER
Liberal Selling, Lower Cables
and Contradictory Advices
From Argentine Causes
DECLINE WAS RAPID EARLY
Renewed Liquidation by Local Sellers
and Selling by Cash Houses Caused
a Weakness in the Corn Market -
Oats Ruled Easy--Easy Tone in Pro-
visions.

Chicago, Dec. IA decline of / u
in the price of May wheat today was
the result of liberal selling. Lower
cables and contradictory advices from
Argentina were the main bear influ-
ences. May opened 1.12A @1.13, and
quickly broke to ~. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago receipts were 7SG
cars.
Large quantities were offered for
sale and with only small demand
from shorts prices broke sharply. A
big slump at Minneapolis was partly
responsible for the weakness here.
May closed 29s lower at 1.103a.
Corn.
Renewed liquidation by local sellers
and selling by cash houses caused .
weakness in the corn market. May
opened at 441s to 44A, touched 44B
and reacted to 441s. Receipts were 40o
cars.
Weakness prevailed the entire ses-
sion, May closing "a off at 44A %
44as.
Oats.
Oats ruled easy. May opened at 3oss
to 3O1k and held at 30ss. Receipts
were eighty cars.
Provisions.
In consequence of liberal receipts
of hogs there was a moderate hquloa-
ton Of provisions, resulting IN an easy
tone.

MORE FIRES.

Disastrous fires have been on ever,
haLd during February. The lstesI
was 100000 one in Rochester
N. \ last week. This fire started
in dry goods store.
Drummers and others are showing
bank notes and other papers badly
charred in safes in the Baltimore FIRE
Few safes kept their cor tents in good
shape. but nearly all the vaults kept
them soundly. The biggest law ii.
brary, that of Mr.. Cans, in Baltimore
was in one of those iron, fire proof
buildings that were destroyed. After
the fire, Mr.. Cans went to look al
his Office Imagine his surprise when
he saw his library shelves apparently
untouched. Upon touching a book
to take it out the entire shelves went
into cloud of dust. The fire was
so quick and intense it actually baked
the books without consu ming them.
The soldiers have been withdrawn
and Baltimore's police are guarding
the ruins

CoNGREssMEN may have taken q
dislike to che Brownlow Good Roads
Bill because the people are memoir
islizing them right and left to vote
for it, but that does not alter the
fact that the people want some such
appropriation by the government,
and that the statesman who opposes
it because cf jealousy, or because
some other statesman, clique, or po-
liticsl party favors it, will have to
defend his course on the stump
We are glad to see that the two u,

The Virginia papers, with a few ex.

There is much sickness in this Sec

DOINGS IN CONGRESS.

The funny incident that occurred
IN the Senate Thursday-Mr. Warren
of Wyoming, taking a bottle from
Senator Tillman's coat pocket and
holding it up to the galleries with a
twinkle in his eye-did not turn out
to be as amusing as its perpetrator
imagined. Instead of it being a
bottle of whiskey. as Senator Warren
thought it was bottle of medicine
for an liberated sore throat. The
dignity with which Mr.. Tillman bore
himself under such a breach of ETH
quette gained for him the sympathy
of the Senate and for Mr.. Warren
disgust. MIR. Tillman explained.
and Mr.. Warren spologized, but the
apology was not accepted by the
Senators, who could not conceal their
disgust. 1t is rather strange, and
yet greatly to his credit, that Mr..
Tillmau behaved himself so we'll
under such trying ordeal.
