OPENING EXCITING.
Scenes at the Chicago Board of Trade
Were Extremely Intense.

Chicago, May 1.-THE opening on
the Board of Trade Monday was the
widest and most exciting that has
been seen for many years. The pre-
dictions made by bulls on Saturday
night that dollar wheat" would soon
be reality were brought about within
few calls after opening, both Septem-
Der and December selling above the
predicted price. December going as
high as $1.03. Trade was too big and
too broad to follow exactly, but every
commission house was stacked up
with buying orders, which were to take
wheat at the market price.
The feeling in the country that the
winter wheat crop has been badly hurt
was even stronger than on Saturday
and the demand came from all parts
of the United States. Many traders
realized heavily on the enormous
bulge at the opening, but the big de-
mand continued to advance steadily.
The Liverpool market was reported
strong and there was a sharp advance
at Minneapolis because of the small
worlds shipments and unfavorable
weather in the northwest.
At 1O:45 o'clock the buying pressure
was responsible for the wild opening
Of the market, was less urgent, long
wheat being thrown on the market in
large quantities, and prices much
Steadier.
The excitement had SO far subsidized
that 1t was possible for traders to ex
ecute orders with some degree of Ger.
tainty. The market at this time had
reacted considerably. December wheat
went down to SO, 4 cents below the
high mark. September was selling at
So Ia cents, July at SO, May option
was nominally SO 1-8 cents.

THE OUTRAGE AT RUsToN.


AT an early hour Sunday morning
there was perpetrated in Ruston crime
which is blood-curdling
In brief, the house # Samuel Cook,
a negro, was blown up with charge of
dynamite, which aroused the inhabitants
from their peaceful repose. The dyna-
mite was exploded with wires operated
from safe distance by one or more of
the fends, disgracing the human form.
In the explosion Cook and his wife
and three children, the youngest a babe,
were killed Four of the inmates sleep
ing in the same house and in room
adjoining Cooks escaped with slight
bruises Cooks body and that of his
wife were found lodged in trees. The
baby's head was blown off.
It is true the victims were negroes,
but this diabolism is indefensible. There
is no crime which may be charged
against one or all the inmates of this
house that can be advanced in extenua-
tion OF this outrage. 1t was planned de-
liberately and executed with fendish

ing the arrest and the conviction Of the
