Chicago. July 14.-July wheat made
a sensational advance OF sc per bushel
on the board of trade today when it
jumped to $1.25A during the first
halt hours trading. This price was
replaced by Az cents the previous
high point for the season. The bulge
today was due to the extremely urgent
desire of the many traders to cover
short sales in view of the poor pros
poets of any considerable movement
of new wheat to the market this
month, owing to the rains having in
terfered with the harvest. Ever since
the closing of the celebrated deal
in May delivery when traders sought
to buy July wheat there was almost
none to be had. July opened UP 70 to

APPEAL BEING HEARD
 IN NOTED MURDER CASE

SALEM, Ore, July 22.-The appeal in the case of Abram Hembree, the Til lamook county murderer, came up for hearing today before the state supreme court. Few criminal cases in this see. tion of the country have attracted more widespread attention than that of Hem bree, who belongs to one of Oregon 's pioneer families. In January. 1907, he was arrested and accused of having murdered his wife and his l6-year-old daughter; of having chopped their bod ies up, burned the heads in the kitchen stove, and setting fire to his home 90 hide the evidences of his crime. He was tried twice. The first time yer diet of manslaughter was rendered against him for the death of his wife, and the second time he was found gull ty of murder in the first degree for killing his daughter.

MURDERED ON THE STAGE

ST. PETERSBURG, July 22.-Word comes from Saratoff of terrible trage- 9y enacted there few nights ago on the stage of the National theater,
 in full view of large audience. In the third act of the play which was being given the heroine is shot by a rejected suitOr, and dies in the arms of her sweetheart who arrives on the scene soon afterwards. On the night of the tragedy, to the astonishment of the audience, NJ. Tashnakoff, who was acting the villain, made no attempt to shoot the girl, but put a bullet through the heart of her lover, who was wait ing for his cue to appear, then shot the girl, and finally turned the revolver against himself and fired Several women in the audience tainted, and a great many other persons sustained in juries in the panic that ensued while endeavoring to force their way out of the theater The motive of the crime appears to have been jealousy, the act OTIS having really represented the parts they played

BIB. CROWD GATHERS FOR EXECUTION
 0F NEGRO
SPECIAL PREPARATIONS MADE TO ALLOW ALL TO WITNESS
 HANGING

BRADON, Miss, July 22.-Iundreds try are preparing to come into town tomorrow to witness the public execu- tion of Will Mack, the negro for whose protection from threatened mob vio- lence Governor Noel called out the state troops last month. Sheriff White has completed all preparations for the exc cution. The gallows has been set up in an open space between the court house and the jail. The site was select edSso as to afford view for the hang ing for as large a crowd as may as semble
 The crime for which Mack is to pay the death penalty was an assault com mitted upon a white girl, Miss Mamie Myers, in the vicinity of Pelahatchio, Rankin county, last November. After the crime the negro made his escape to Marshall county, where, under an as sumed name, he hired out to Dr. A. M. McAulcy. Later he went over to Tato county on a short visit and was recog- niItu Dy SOule Ol lHt county OmccrS. A few days later the officers called upon Dr. McAuley and informed him that they wanted negro who was working for him, and asked him to as sist them in capturing him, stating that they had shot him in an effort to cap ture him the night before, On return ing home the physician found Mack sit ting on his office steps. Mack asked him if he would dress his wound, say ing that he had shot himself accidental ly. Afteg joking the negro some time about getting shot in crap game, the physician carried him into his office and had him remove his clothes and lay on a table so he could dress the wound. As soon as the negro was down the physician signalled the officers, who took him into custody. At the time of the arrest and trial Governor Noel ordered troops to the scene as meas ure of precaution. No attempt was made at lynching, however, though it was thought best to remove the negro to the Vicksburg Jail to await the date of execution.
