WHEAT JUMPS TO $t.os1s,
Highest Price Of Year For May De.
livery-Rush For Corn.

Chicago, lll.-Wheat for deliv-
cry next May sold at 1857 on
the Board Of Trade Friday, the high
est price SO far. Sharp advances in
foreign markets and active export de-
mand from Continental Europe, as
well as the United Kingdom, and
gloomy reports front the northwest
concerning the Canadian crop outlook
were factors which served to arouse
enthusiasm,
The pit at times was boiling over
with speculative activity, and the
bears, being thoroughly stampeded,
clambered wildly to buy back such
quantities Of the cereal as they had
sold short. While the wheat market
was soaring there was lively time
to buy corn, due to prediction Of
frost in northern Iowa, Nebraska and
Dakota, which, it is feared, may dam.
age that portion of the crop which has
not yet ripened. A Winnipeg message,
which caused the trade much uneasi,

LOCK GUARD IN CELL
TWO PRISONERS THEN ESCAPE
FROM JAIL IN CHICAGO.
IN PLAIN VIEW OF THE STREET
Third One Starts to Leave, but Re-
turns to Cell When Alarm ls
Sounded.

Chicago, Ill,--After having locked
a Jail guard and "trusty' in
cell, two prisoners climbed through
a window of the county Jail here Sun
day afternoon and made their escape
in plain view of a number of persons
who were passing in the street. A
third prisoner after having started to
descend from the window, climbed
back in and returned to his cell when
the alarm was given. Within a few
minutes the police were on the trail
of the jail-breakers, but the capture
had not been reported up TO q late
hour Sunday night
Escape Is Accomplished by Ruse.
The escape was accomplished by a
clever ruse. Choosing n moment when
all of the prisoners on that tier of
cells were in the exercise room, one
of the prisoners asked the guard,
Michael Bloomberg, to unlock his
cell that he might get pack of play
ing cards. John Scott, the "trusty,"
was about to hand Bloomberg note,
when both he and the guard We're
seized, the keys secured and tho two
were forced into the cell and locked
In.
Producing saws, which are supposed
to have been smuggled to the men by
some accomplice, the prisoners sawed
two iron bars from the windows and
descended from the window by climb
ing to the bars on the windows be
low, and dropping into the street
Meanwhile the other prisoners sane
and shouted TO prevent the guards
from giving the alarm. The guard
however, was warned by the "trusty
to make no outcry on penalty of death
and he remained in the cell for an
hour before being released The mer
who escaped were William Rogers
25 years old, charged with larceny
and Stanley Weslek, 2G years old, helt

SOAP, WATER AND TOWELS
Everything Ready to Give Immunity
Bath to Alton.

Chicago. The soap, water and rough
towels are ready for the Chicago and
Alton Railroad Company, and tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock that corpor-
alton will get its immunity bath.
Up to this time there is no indication
of any hitch in the programme. Judge
Lands returned to the city today, and
this afternoon he declined to discuss
the case other than to say that it was
set for tomorrow morning in his court.
Judge Lands, in ordering recess of
the grand jury sitting tomorrow morn
ing, did not change the status OF the
case. He had passed the question of
immunity squarely to the attorney-gen-
eral for an answer to the question:
did the government promise immu-
nifty to this road, and if so, does the
performance Of the road, in the opinion
Of the department that made the prom
ise, entitle it to immunity"
To this question the encouragement
has replied;
"Yes.r
Under this state OF facts the court is
left with no course to pursue except to
dismiss the special grand jury that was
ordered to investigate the case, and to
add, if the court sees fit, such tender
word of comment as the court may
think iustiiiable.
