large. After considerable argument
Judge DIETRICH decided that Attor-
ney Johnson was right, and instruct
ed the marshal to produce a special
venire of II men by 10 o'clock Taurs-
day morning.
With that announcement Attorney
Tannehill said ne would reserve the
right to challenge the jury before it
was sworn in.
There is much speculation here
relative to Robnett's whereabouts.
There are some who assert that he
has skipped out" while others con-
tend that ne has been delayed en-
route home from Oregon, where he
went about ten days ago, and that he
will appear in court in due course of
time.
When his name was called yester-
day morning, together with that of
West, and neither of them replied,
Attorney Ruick said he would give
both men until the afternoon to put
in an appearance. West came up
from Lewiston on the noon train, but
When Attorneys Forney and Moore
said that they had not been retained
to defend Robnett in this last case,
Attorney Ruick said that he would
lsk that Robnett's bond be declared
forfeited and that a bench warrant
txn -
ly before court adjourned. when in
formed that a telegram had been re-
ceived from Robnett stating that he
had been detained and would arrive
In Moscow Tuesday, Attorney Ruick
said he would withhold mis- motion
until today.

LITTLE DECLINE
Decrease Of Worlds Visible
Supply Offsets Better
Weather Conditions

Both bulls and bears met in deadly
combat at the opening in the wheat
pit this morning, but the opening was
not as sensational as that of yester-
day. Lower Liverpool cables, coupled
with reported rains over the entire
wheat belt, caused heavy profit tax
ing during the first two hours, and in
consequence prices were gradually
pounded down cents, where good
support by commission houses, who
have heavy buying orders on every
ket gradually recovered some of the
early loss.
Trade has been on large scale.
Bradstreet's report of a decrease of
100000 bushels in the worlds wish
BILE supply for the week brought out q
fresh supply of buying orders from all
sides and prices again advanced
sharply. The advances have been
fiercely contested by the bears, who
think they have been too severe.
The market has held we'll the adj
vances of the past week CONSIDERING
the enormous profit taking. on every
recession of cent or more there is
heavy buying orders forthcoming from
all parts of the country. which keep7
the pit in very feverish state.

Of IL cents over the low point ana

Corn and Oats.
Corn and Oats have ruled lower
during the entire session on heavy
protit-taking sales. GOOD support Ia
also seen in these cereals ON every

slightly under that OF yesterday. Pro-
visions were under pressure all day.

Postal SAVINGS Banks.

One of the things which the admin
istration is contemplating is a sug
gestion to congress that law b.
passed providing for the establish
ment Of postal savings bank. Post
master General Meyer has been coA.
sulting with postmasters Of different
cities throughout the country, and,
as rule, they have favored the prop.
osition.
1t would be popular move so far
as the plain people are concerned, be-
You'd all question, but It undoubtedly
would rouse antagonism on the part
Of the bankers themselves, because 1t
would be an unquestioned invasion Of
the private business field by the gov
ernment There is not much chance
OF any such proposition being adopted
BY congress at the coming session.
II would involve . radical change in
the executive force OF the postoffice
department from one end Of the coun-
try to the other, and there are other
considerations which make It likely
that congress will do nothing more
than order an investigation into the
whole question.
At fret sight, the idea Of having
the government act as a savings bank
for the people seems to DO an excel
lent one. but as the subject Is studied
more carefully 1t Is seen there are OBJ
jectiOns which certainly will be raised
In congress and which are Of such
character that they win prevent the
adoption Of the scheme for some time

The Farmer AZ a Capltallat.

Not all the money In che country Il
sewed up in the money bags OF the
Standard Oil company and steel trust.
That good share Of It is In the
hands Of those who actually produce,
and upon whom the prosperity Of the
country depends, is evident from q
condition as gratifying as 1t Is little
understood.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson
who Is In close touch with the tillers
Of the soil, makes a statement which
goes far to show that the farmers are
the real capitalists Of the country.
He declares that not only is 1t no
longer necessary to send money from
the east to the west to move the crops,
but that the western farmers actually
are sending money east This move
ment takes various forms, one OF them
being loans on eastern real estate,
and the fact is mentioned that banks
throughout the farming sections are
distributing circulars offering special
inducements to those who wish 10
make investments OF this kind. The
secretary further afiirms that the
financiers are just beginning to I'm.
derstand that II they want money
they must go to the men who produce
The most OF 1t, and then cites the fact
hat the farm products Of the United
States in 1906 were worth $1,000, O0O,-
100. while this year they will exceed
hat amount by million dollars.
In charging on this subject, Secre-
airy Wilson alludes to suggestions
which he'has often made to capitalists
that II they would make their Sc
urities as safe as the government
onds they would have no difficulty \
| borrowing money, and he believes !
lie wealth-producing farmers would (
