Wed When Both Were Poor.

New York, July 31.-Mrs. Corey was
a servant in the household of A. A.
Corey when the latter's son, William
Ellis Corey, was earning $40 a month
working in a colriery, and married her
on Dec. Is, 1888. Mrs. Corey. was,
however, member Of an old Pennsyl-
vania family, and there was no social
discrepancy in the stations of herself
and her young husband.
Advanced rapidly in the Carnegie
Steel Company, a trusted lieutenant
of Charles NJ. Schwab, Mr.. Corey rose
swiftly to great wealth and financial
power. He had social ambitions, and,
spending much time in New York,
sought entrance to the most exclusive
circles here. He often complained in
public that his wife's dislike for amy
thing but domestic society and her
jealousy of his mingling in social gay
cities was a great obstacle to his am
billions.
MIR. Corey became acquainted with
Mabelle Gilman, comic opera singer,
gave her expensive entertainments and
set gossip afoot which soon reached
Pittsburg. When, in December, 1905,
Mr.. Corey admitted that his wife was
about to seek legal separation, he
said their differences We're irreconcil-
liable and admitted his friendship with
Miss Gilman, insisting that it was of
an entirely proper character.

HARVEST IN PROGRESS
Reports of t e Yield of Barley
and Oats Show Fair
Returns
CORN MAINTAINS STANDARD
The Crop Still Gives Promise of More
Than an Average YieId-Recent
Showers Have Benefited Late Po-
tatoes and the Apple Crop is Making
Fair Proeress-other Crops.

Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, July 31.-The following
is the weather and crop bulletin for
the week ending July 80:
The week was slightly cooler than
usual tho the day temperatures were
normally high and generally favorable
for harvest operations. The rainfall
was extremely variable, ranging from
a tenth of an inch to over two inches.
Except in very small areas, the
amount of soil moisture is ample for
present needs of the staple crops.
The conditions were favorable for
finishing the harvest of hay, oats and
barley. and in the larger part of the
state these crops have been put into
shocks, stacks or barns. Threshing
barley and oats is in progress, and re-
ports of yield show fair returns. In
the spring wheat districts that crop is
ready for harvesting, with good pros
poets as to yield. The corn crop still
maintains it's high standard in all sec
TONS giving promise Of more than an
average yield. The pastures are very
good in all districts except in locali-
ties where the rainfall has been def
Gent for several consecutive weeks.
Late potatoes have been benefited by
recent showers. The apple crop is do
ing fairly well.

CATTLE ABOUT STEADY
Bulk of the Offerings in That
Market Today, Taken
by Packers
ADVANCE IN HOG MARKET
The Demand Today Was Active
for Good Offerings, and Prices Az
eraeed Five Cents Higher Today -
Top of $3.50 Paid-Advance Of 10 to
is In the Sheep Market.

Chicago, July 31.--Cattle--A large
percentage of today's receipts consist
ed of range stuff, and trade for native
steers was about steady, there being
hardly enough to make the market.
Shippers who had orders could not eX-
ecute them, and the bulk of the offer
ings was taken by packers.
A good many cattle of good quality
have to sell at prices which show a
loss to country shippers. Apparently
many cattle have been bought on close
margins, and decline overbalances
the difference. The great bulk of the
supply consists of fair to medium ma
tives, with a good proportion of good
well-matured beef steers, but not q
great many choice ones.
Hogs.
The demand for good hogs was ac-
tive. and prices advanced sc on an av-
erage. A top of $50 was paid.
Rains were general late last week,
creating shipping conditions. Senti-
ment is less bullish in every quarter.
There is less talk of &c hogs in the
country. while packers are bearlsh
both on hogs and product
Sheep.
"A light run and keener demand re-
suited in an advance of 10M15c. The
bulk of offerings of choice sheep and
lambs was cleaned up at an early hour.
While traders are hopeful of secur-
ing even better prices under reduced
the balance of the week.
they are fearful that should supplies
be materially enlarged, there would be
small chance of staying decline. AT
this time conservative marketing
should be INDUCED in. as the outlet for
heavy mutton stock is still somewhat
restricted. owing to the unimproved
condition of the markets east and the
advices received from
abroad

Stockers and Feeders.

Chicago, July 31-Local dealers were
the principal buyers in the feeder trade
and their purchases were of compare
lively small volume. The poor ard
plain stockers We're hardest to get rid
of, statesmen working long and hard to
get bids for such kinds. Buyers were
rather partial to the western range
cattle offerings and these seemed to
be the best end of the supply. There
were very few really desirable native
feeders in the offerings, but they were
still plentiful enough to suit most of
the local buyers as the situation hardly
looks encouraging for material inn
provement in the country demand la
ter this week Good rains in the corn
belt late last week may stir up lit
tie buying enthusiasm, however, and if
it does the traders say they will still
have enough cattle to fill the demands.
There are fairly liberal orders here
for choice. f1eshy feeders, but such do
not come freely enough to admit of
filing many of them. and then. too the
sellers ask prices which are high
enough to scare away a considerable
number of the prospective buyers.
There We're few sales above $685., al
tho some strictly choice We're quotable
above $500 The bulk of the plain to
fairly good feeders sold at 1925 @3.75
and poor light feeders down under So,
while thin and inferior little stockers
often went below $3.50.

stockyard Notes.

Practically all of the western range
cattle offered are Dakotas, altho 1eW
lots of Wyomings are in the supply,
1t seems impossible for hogs to
reach 500 in Chicago without soaring
IN more than $4,000 head for the mar
ket at the start the next week.

PUTS KlNK in PRAYER CHAIN.
Uncle Sam Will Refuse Mail Privileges
to Endless Link.

Pittsburg, July 31.-Prayer by the
endless chain system will be stopped
nv the postoffice authorities, and it is
likely that the promoters of this style
of worship will find themselves defend
ants in the near future in suits charg-
ing them with misuse of the mails. The
matter was laid before Postofflce In
spector G. V. Craighead yesterday
morning, and he is investigating.
For many months church goers of
western Pennsylvania have been an
noyed by receiving letters containing
the following prayer:
80, Lord Jesus Christ, we implore
Thee, o, Eternal God, to have mercy
on all mankind keep us from sin by
Thy precious blood, and take us to be
with Thee eternally. Amen"
Dire Results as Penalty.
With the prayer the person in re-
ceipt of the letter would receive an
admonition not TO fail to send it to nine
other persons with instructions for
each of those nine to send letter with
the PRAYER to nine others. Each letter
threatened dire results to the person
who failed to carry out the instruc-
lions.
The matter was laid before Inspector
Craighead thru receipt of one OF the
letters by Miss j. C. Miller, of IL North
Bouquet street The letter accompany
ing the prayer is as follows:

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
Roland Girl Claims to Have Been At.
tackled by Younu Man,

Roland, July 31.-Considerable ex-
element prevailed at this place Sum
day evening at 1890 o'clock, when
a young man, Halvor Norem, was
charged with assaulting Miss Clara
Twedt, while on her way home from
services at the church.
Miss Twedt. who is the youngest
daughter of ex-Supervisor and Mra.
John Twedt. and one of the most re.
spected young women of the commun-
ity, had attended services at Bergen
church, and was on her way to e. r.
Groves place, one mile south of town.
When just outside of town, she was
overtaken by young Norem, who was
riding on bicycle.
According to her story, he jumped
off the wheel and attempted to em-
brace her She screamed and ran, fin
ally reaching Mr.. Groves place, where
Mr. Grove and a neighboring young
man caught the boy. He was at once
arrested and thrown in the town jail
According to his own story, he fell
from his wheel about the time he
reached the girl. and he claims that
this is what scared her.

Lawrence, who recommended it be
written and sent to nine other persons.
He who will not write and send this
will be overtaken by some misfortune.
One person who did not pay attention
to it met with a dreadful accident.
They who will write and send this
prayer for nine days, commencing on
the day 1t is received, will experience
great joy at Jerusalem. 1t is said that
he who writes this will be delivered
from every calamity. Please do not
break the chain.
Claims Violation of Law.
The letter was signed. "a Friend"
Miss Miller received two suc1 letters
and was much annoyed. The other let
ter she received bore the signature of
the sender, who is a young woman con-
nected with the church to which Miss
Miller belongs.
Postoffice Inspector Craighead says
the method is a clear violation of the
postal laws. He said If the names of
the senders were placed in his hands
he would enter suits. Miss Miller says
that it will be impossible to trace the
missives to the original sender. as the
chain already comprises scores OF
links Hundreds of persons turnout
this section have received the letters.

one testified to committing theft but
no such action was taken.
There was throng in the street
when court adjourned, and threats
against lStaubb and Anderson were
heard, but no attack was made because

WOOL BRINGS GOOD PRICES.
Season Just Closed Prosperous One
for North Dakota Wool Growers.

Dickinson N. D., July 31.-Another
prosperous season for the wool grow
crs tributary to Dickinson is closed.
The woods were of fine quality this
year, but the average weight, 5h
pounds fleece was disappointment.
1t was expected that the wool market
ed in Dickinson for 1906 would reach
the 100000 point, but owing to the
fact that heeces averaged fully one
pound lighter than a year ago, the. to-
tai reaches but 100000 pounds, prac-
tically the same amount as last year.
The average price a pound this year
has been % cents, against % cents for
1905. Thus the amount received in
1906 for wool at this point has been
1891, AGO.
