Chicago Produce Market.

Chicago, June 80
Wall Streets weakness appeared to be
as much of bearish influence on the
wheat market today as the same cause
was exactly the opposite in the first
stages of the Northwestern crop scare.
Explanation seemed to be in the fact that
the grain trade is now figuring on the
means to handle the coming crops Gener-
al selling of wheat had another powerful
reason in good rainfall at Bismarck, N
y, suggesting a general breaking of the
drouth which has threatened the Weld in

THE LOCAL HAPPENINGS
Some Interesting Items of Local
News Gathered on the Run
During the Past Week.
Nearly Another Murder at Davis City

There came near being another
Davis City murder committed about
noon Tuesday, when Jeff Hamilton,
a brother of Sam Hamilton who was
killed by his. cousin, France Hamil-
ton, last fall, tried to shoot France,
and all that prevented murder was
the fact that his revolver would not
go off.
Jeff Hamilton has been travelling
for some time with the Coulter shows
and returned to Davis City Monday.
1t seems he met France down near
the depot and at once pulled a re-
volver and snapped it several times
at France, who was unarmed and
took to his heels as he realized that
jeff evidently intended to kill him.
jeff chased him quite distance arm
ing himself with stake off a dray
wagon, but France was too swift on
foot and got away. An information
was at onced filed charging Jeff with
assault with intent to commit mur-
der, but he eluded the officers and
made his escape.
There has been bad blood between
the parties ever since the killing of
Sam Hamilton and residents of Davis
City have frequently predicted that
more blood would be shed. And from
reports it looks as if this would have
happened if Jeff could have fired his
revolver

wv TASHINGTON.-"If you pick your
w teeth with a splinter taken from
a tree which has been struck by
lightning will you ever have tooth
ache?"
This, and three thousand other va
rieties of superstitious beliefs, having
been investigated by DR.. F. B. Dress
lar, professor of psychology in the
University of Alabama, he found that
As per cent of the people whom he
questioned believed in them. This
was his declaration in an address be-
fore the Medico-Psycholog associa-
tion, one of the branches of the Amer
ican Congress of Physicians and Sur
geons.
Superstitions and superstitious be-
liefs are still powerful factors in hui
man behavior, he said, and, as far as
known, superstition is exclusively
human manifestation, not being
known among lower animals. 1t is
due, he added, to an animistic con-
ception of the universe which holds
that sticks and stones play a part in
the life of man and conspire against
him. Mans superstitious beliefs are
variable, he declared, changing with
even with the weather and time of
day, GHOSTS existing only at night"

lone BANDIT ROBS
AN ENTIRE train
With Utmost Goodness Took
Passengers vaIuabIes.

Eastbound train No. 2, of the El
Paso and Southwestern railroad, was
held up by lone bandit, who herded
the occupants Of the tourist sleeper
into private car attached to the rear
of the train, compelled them to de-
posit their money and valuables in a
heap and made his escape v.th the
plunder across the desert toward the
mountains. Rough estimates place
the value of his haul at several thou
sand dollars.
The hold-up occurred one mile east
Of Robsart, N. M, near Corrizozo. At
this point the robber, who had board
ed the train at Corrizozo, covered the
Pullman conductor and brakeman
with his gun, compelling them to stop
the train.
Driving the men before him, he en-
tered the sleeping car, awakening the
occupants with gruff command to
gather their valuables together and
proceed to the private car of Super
intendent G. F. Hawks, in the rear
One by one the half-dressed passen-
gers were covered by the robbers gun
as they clambered from their berths.
Taking his time and exhibiting re-
markable GOODNESS, the bandit careful
ly took an inventory of what each
bore in his uplifted hands. The job
was thorough, not a passenger escap-
ing and not one being able to keep
anything of value.
The robber is believed to be an old
and dangerous bandit who may give
the officers who have started in pur-
suit lively battle if he is run down.

CTENOGRAPHERS and clerks in
- the government Offices in Wash
ington seldom take more than pass
ing notice of the affairs of state that
come before the department chiefs
for settlement, but conversation be-
tween two young women in the de-
partment of commerce and labor a
few days ago showed that one subject
at least, had aroused their interest.
1t is the question of sealskins. The
department faces the terrible catas-
trophe of an increased cost in seal
skin coats for women. The average
woman could worry along for while
longer watching prices of meats, eggs
and nearly every other article of
physical sustenance take fight sky
ward, but how she Is going to survive
without a sealskin sacque is what is
worrying the benevolently not to say
paternally inclined officials of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
Il have been wanting one SO bad
ly," Miss Blank was heard to say to
the young woman with a great bunch
of rats" in her hair. "but mercy me,

Seal Coat Problem Up to Government

if the price is going up I'm sure will
never be able to get it."
"Oh, what's the use?" snapped the
one with hair dressed like a Kaf1r
belle. 81 wouldn't have one if you'd
give it to me. They're too hot for
this climate, anyway"
Sour grapes" was Miss Blanks
comment, as she swept out of the
room.
The benevolent, not to say paternal-
ly inclined officials of the department,
however, were confronted with the
problem of whether or not the seal
grounds of the Pribiolf islands shall
be closed under authority granted by
congress- If the grounds are closed
the price of sealskin coats will go
skyward, along with other necessities.
If they are left open the price will re-
main at the present figure for while
longer. but eventually will go up, as
the fur-bearing herds of the Bering
sea are depleted. So to the officials
of the department the issue has re-
solved itself into the question as 10
whether it is best to hold down the
price for a while by releasing the
sealing rights and letting the women
of a future period stand the really
high prices.
The lease of the North American
Commercial company, which for 20
years has enjoyed the exclusive privi
lege of taking the seals, expired

ALLEGED COTTON STEAL.

Tennessee Grand Jury Will Probe
Charge That Shipments Were Stolen.
According to story printed in a
Memphis paper, evidence tending to
show that more than 100000 worth
of cotton was stolen from railroads
during the season of 190S-09 is now in
the possession of the Shelby county
grand jury. If true bill is returned,
1t is said, a number of prominent men
will be involved.
The investigation is said to have
developed the fact that half-dozen
or more negro dray drivers were made
the tools OF the thieves-in-chief. 1t
is said the drivers would receive the
cotton and in place of delivering it to
the warehouses to which it was con-
signed, would deliver it to the place
designated by the fences"
This place, it is stated, was equip
ped to remove every vestige of the
Identification marks, the bagging be-
ing taken off and destroyed and re-
placed with new bagging, the cotton
then being disposed Of

MURDER MYSTERY
PUzzLEING POLICE
Death of Mrs. Charlton Has
Caused Sensation.

"A mystery which rivals the product
or the imagination confronts the Ital-
ian police in the strange death of Mrs
Mary Scott Castle Charlton, whose
bruised and beaten body lies in the
morgue at Como, Italy. Found in a
trunk in the bottom of Lake Como,
whittier no one had seen it borne, this
the elements which usually charac-
terize the work of the Sicilian malta.
The death of Mrs. Charlton is SINH
lar to that of Miss Estelle Reid, the
American girl, who was killed several
weeks ago and whose death mystery
has not yet been unraveled. Through
fear of the power of the silent and
aVenging malta the police will not ad-
nit that they hold this terrible band
responsible. However, it is evident
from indications and developments of
the day that the strange agency
which brought Mrs. Charlton to her
death is suspected by the authorities
here to be linked with the Sicilian
society.
The American colony at Milan,
Italy, is vastly excited, and well may
1t be, for, since the murder of two
American women in such short
time, fear has grown to such an ex-
tent that many American women
here are preparing to leave Italy en-
tirely, rather than be exposed con-
stantly to an unseen and unknown
danger.
