Owing to the uncertainties at- tending the governments bureau report next Friday the market is ruling in an cratic manner. Predictions as to the probable crop condition which will be re- ported came from many sources, and the levels of the market as sentiment be- came bullish or bearish. An advance of 10 points was scored in the early morning but prices soon eased off as a result of profit taking Reports received during the afternoon were to the effect that weevils were more active than ever before in many sections of the southwest and an other slight advance resulted from the dissemination of these reports. At the close which was steady, the active months ranged from one point below to one above the close yesterday.

BRIDGE TOPPLES
INTO THE RIVER

Peoria, ILL.,, May AT $50 Saturday
morning three arches of the concrete
steel new wagon bridge which was re-,
Gently opened for traffic fell into the
river and lies at the bottom a total
mass of ruins. At the time of the dis
aster, no one was on the bridge and
consequently there wa no loss of life.
Bridge Superintendent Finley said:
Costello and myself were in the
bridge tenders house this morning at
$50 o'clock when a farmer crossed the
bridge driving toward the city. About
20 minutes late we heard a noise like
a team driving upon the approach of
the bridge. At the same time there
was a rumbling noise as II something
had struck the big channel pier, where
the house Is located. Both of us rushed
to the door of the house and when we
stepped out we were just in time to see
the first arch from the draw on the east
side of the big channel pier rise into
the air and crash into the river. There
was a creaking AMI splintering sound
of steel as the ribs of the arch snapped
off like matchweod., The arch raised a
fearful height into the air and then top
pied over. One after another of the
arches took the sale course Just like
cards standing on end and pushed over.
We could hardly realize what had hap
pened, and Immediately a v the
alarm"
The Marsh Bridge company, of Des
Moines, Ia, was awarded the contract
for construction. an the price for the
bridge proper was $3.50, 900, Of which
about $25, 900 is unpaid. This company
went into bankruptcy last September,
and B. N. Moss. receiver, agreed to
complete the contract. Considerable
anxiety Is felt as to what will happen
when an attempt is made to hoist the
jack knife lift of the bridge for passing
boats.
Des Moines Man Explains.
Des Moines, Ia, May 4.-President
Marsh, Of the defunct Marsh Bridge
company, which built the Peoria
bridge, stated this morning that he
could give no explanation of why the
, sections OF the structure fell.
The plans and specifications for
this bridge" said Mr.. Marsh, were
prepared by a New York firm upon
data furnished by the city engineer. In
the construction Of the bridge 1t was
found that the borings reported by the
city were faulty. 1t was upon these
borings that much of the data Of the
specifications was based"

Hauser Junction. Idaho, May s.
Northern Pacific train No. 8 was held
up at 1880 o'clock last night three
miles cast of this place by two high
waym@n.
h robbers ca the engine and
malt car from the train, shot twice at
the fireman. crdcrir'g him from the en-
CINE. put u rev Diver to Engineer Whit
tlesey's head and compelled him to
send the engine ahead. The other
bandit took the place of the fireman
and as they passed through Hauser
he was throwing coal into the fire box
in an experienced manner. This, to-
gether with the fact that there were
no markers on the rear Of the train and
the engine crew disregarded the sig
nails, revealed to- the operator that II
was a hold up, and he notified the dis
patcher at Spokane to- that effect.
Of1cials at Spokane and Rathdrum
were rotifed and while the mail ear
was being robbed between Trent and

side of the bandits to overhaul them.

DIES MONIES COUNCIL
HAS MERRY WAR

Des Moines, Ia, May 6.-Councilmen
John MacVicar created the biggest
sensation in years in Des Moines when,
at the city council meeting this morn
Ing, he charged that Councilman John
l.. Hamery. in charge of the public
safety department under the Des
Moines plan, narrowly escaped indtct-
ment for obtaining money by false
pretenses in Cottonwood county, Min
nesota.
MacVicar asserted that there is now
a recommendation to the grand jury in
that county that Hamery be indicted.
Hamery's face flushed, u he denied
the charge, although admitting that he
was formerly a resident of h a county.
MacVicar asserted that Hamery's
name was then John Hamere, but that
Hamery has since changed the spelling
by changing the ina "e' to "y' and
by inserting the letter L. in his name.
This charge Hamery admitted, declar-
ing that there was another man by the
name of John A. Hamere in he same
town. MacVicar charged that some
years ago Hamery correspondent with
an old man named John Randall, who
resided In Lambertine, Mimi, relative
to furnishing the old man q wife. who
was to be Hamery's aunt. After Sc
curing sums of money from Randall,
MacVicar charged that Hamery
dropped the case by writing that the
aunt could not come, but that the
woman all this time was in ignorance
of what Hamere was doing. Hamery
declared that the letters are forgeries.
The accusation has stirred UP a ter
rife furore in Des Moines n Is an
outgrowth Of recent sensations charged
In the city council relative to the selec-
ton of an architect for q new city hall.
Hamery made a surprisingly strong
race for member of the city council
under the Des Moines plan and was
elected by the second largest vote re-
revived by any Of the five men.
