Chicago, May 29.-The remarkable
bull campaign in May wheat being
engineered by James Patten went
into history today, marking the end
of the most bitter and successful COR
ner in wheat in recent years.
In the same place where Joe Letter
and John w. Gates and their follow
ers lost millions trying to work a
corner Patten is said to have made
fortune estimated at from $4,000, 900
to 100000.
Patterns friends say he has proved
he was right when he maintained,
despite the statement of Secretary
Wilson to the contrary, that the high
price of wheat was due to weather
conditions, and not to his manipulate
ing.
May wheat closed at s134. The
predicted rush of wheat to break the
corner failed to materialize today and
Patten held the situation we'll in hand
until the May option was wiped off
the board.

WANTS S75OO FOR
DEATH OF DICKSON

Damages in the sum of $500 are
demanded Of Mike Ryan for the death
of H. f. Dixon, in a suit filed this af-
ternoon by attorneys, representing the
widow Of the man shot by Ryan, last
week. This is the limit of the am
cunt of damages allowed by law for
the death of man through negli-
gence or carelessness and as there is
no specification for damages in the
case of kinning of this kind, this was
the sum sued for.
The suit is brought originally by
&c. T. Goodwin of Milton, but Judge
James A. Fee of this city is to be as
sociated with him. AS Judge S. A..
Lowell and ]. P. Winter are Ryan's
attorneys it is evident that this case
will only be second in interest and
importance to the murder trial itself.
The suit wis filed this afternoon,
the papers being served on Ryan in the
county Jail at o'clock.

KEITH THEATER CIRCUIT
FORBIDS A STAPLE JOKE

Boston, May 2s.-One Of the most
frequent topics of jest on the stage
is forever tabooed on the Keith cir
cult. Mr.. Keith today issued orders
that no more mother-in-law jokes
will be tolerated in his house. The
action was suggested by Herbert d.
Ward Boston author, who with his
wife, Elizabeth Stewart Phelps. has
written much for the dignity Of the
family. Commenting on his order.
Mr.. Keitht said:
I'm these days when so much OBJ
lection is raised against caricaturing
persons of different nationalities
such as the Trishman and the Jew
and even politicians object to what
they consider unfair reference on the
stage, simple justice alone demands
that an artist should observe the
golden rule when referring to ones
dearest friend. the mother"

identified as two of the men who
robbed the Union Pacific overland
limited Saturday night.

who crawled over the tender of their
engine and forced them TO stop the

men he had seen examining the
ground in that district day or two
before the holdup.
Among the prisoners effects was a
small souvenir mirror, on the reverse
side of which was a picture of the
