tonight after fru'tless earsh for the
fiends who late last night displaced
rail on the west bound Baltimore and
Pittsburg and Chicago Royal Flyer"
and caused the death Of three passen-
gers and the injury of eighteen.
During the afternoon it seemed al
most certain that the train wreckers
would be run down. Followed by the
detectives and a posse of 200 men. the
hounds took up the trail leading
straight to the Village o. Wampum.
which is largely inhabited by foreign
ers. The trail led to slaugter house
attached to the meat market of Frank
McAnlis. Here the hounds stood and
bayed but a search of the building fail
ed to disclose any one hiding there.
The hounds refused to go further anS

liar day last year and the opening of
the session the following Tuesday. the

Wheat.
Wheat market opened firm on ac-
count of rainy weather condition in
the northwest. Advancing tendency
with which trading commenced was
checked after about 3-S rise by free
offerings. Changes in prices abroad
were unimportant, so that outside of
domestic developments and the local
speculative situation there was nothing
to create either buying or selling en-.
thusiasm. The accumulations be-
tween northwest and Tuesday at
northwestern points loomed in imag-
nations of the local traders near the
end and gave a weak closing. Sep

end down to 94 to 94 Is.

the money to pay the premiums. We
are not In debt, and so far have been
able to hold up our heads in self-re-
spect; but what Of the future? The
church will soon be looking for a
young man for their minister. II
seems hard. but that is the way
churches do.
There is the fund for ministerial
relief. but the pension is so small Il
would be impossible to live on II. Per
