The Town of Mes
 OVerrun by Hoboes

Mesa City is now undergoing a new experience. This town has been singularlv free from tramps and hOboes. but is now literally overrun with them. The police court IS filled as we'll as the high ways and the byways. The ho boes were with the circus. Cir cuses usually travel bv night and thus the passage of trampS is un- interrupted. So they came into Phoenix by night and by night from Phoenix to Mesa, but the circus train went out of here in daylight, and the trainmcn went around and brushed the trampS off like flies
 There is no way for them t. get out except through the ave nue of the county jail, and most of them will go that way.-Ariz- Ona Republican.

FIRST real move against the labor unions

plant at Gary. Ind, was begun anu

Employees of this branch of the steei
corporation have been on strike for six
months. Their strike was indirectly
the cause OF the declaration of COM
bined union labor.

ferred with heads of the corporation az
New York that about s4.5o0,000 had been

ILLINOIS BEGINS FIGHT
ON r. r. FOR SzO,OOO,OOO,

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. Dec. I7.-Attor-
ney-General Stead appeared before the
judges of the Supreme Court here to-
day in suit to compel the Illinois
Central railroad to account for per
cent of it's gross receipts from charter
lines through which the State of Hill
nois seeks to recover an amount ap-
proximately estimated at $20,0o0,00o
from the railroad company.
The case is based on the grant by
the Federal general congress to the
State of Illinois of 2,595,000 acres OF
land as right of way to aid in the
construction of central railroad
through the State. This grant was
made in 1850. and the following year the
State chartered the Illinois Central
Railroad and granted to it all the land
received by the State from Congress
together with other property. The State
claims these lands were sold by the
read for $4,000. 900. which was more
than sufficient to build the road. The
claim now made by the Illinois Cen
trail said' Attorneys General Stead.
pthat il owes the State nothing be-
cause OF this land grant as an example
of ingratitude, has no parelleI since the
time of Judas Iscariot"

which was about in line with the cables.
Business was only moderately active.

aggressive owing to the absence OF
fresh bull support. and an idea that

sold off in consequence, with the mar

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

( CHICAGO, Dec 11.-New high marks
for the crop were established on all
deliveries of wheat at the opening Of
the market here today, as result of
general demand brought out by bullish
advices from Argentina. The new
record for December was 115ts. and for
May 112ss. Reports claiming further
reduction in the exportable surplus Of
wheat. from Argentina caused an ad-
vance of q to rs at Liverpool and in
turn Impaired strong tone to the mar
ket here Initial quotations were ssG1.
to q higher tnan yesterdays close. De-
oember being at 115l2, and May at 11214
to 1l21s. There was little December for
sale on demand by shorts. the price
soon touched 115ss, where it held for a
time. After touching 1125s May de-
clined to 1121s.
The bulge In wheat caused slight
firmness in the corn market at the
start. but prices soon yielded TO re-
newed profit taking and sold off about
1zc. early in the day. There was also
considerable selling for short account
based on the low temperatures now pre-
vailing in the corn belt. Prices at the
opening were a shade lower to 1s@A
higher. with May at 66 to 66is. Later
May sold off to CO.'S.
Oats opened firm with wheat and
corn. but soon became easier owing to
quite general selling. much of which
was realizing sales. May opened lis to
4 higher at 44.s to As and declined
to 44ss
Provisions were quiet and steady.
Demand was not urgent and fear of a
liberal increase in receipts following the
drop in temperature prompted consid-
erable selling. Prices at the opening
were 21s@5 lower to sc higher.
