District Court Recess.

Judge w. s. Hamilton adjourned
district court at noon Saturday for a
recess until Monday morning at 900
o'clock, when the trial of equity
cases assigned Friday will begin. The
grand jury took an adjournment at
the same time and will make final
report the early part of the week.
Before making it's report the body will
pay visit to the county and city
jails. AS usual the city Jail will be
condemned. The grand jury takes it
upon itself to criticise the little hole
used to place prisoners in. but there
the work ends.
Probably the most important case
which may come to an early trial is

The MARKETS
The Grain Market.

IGate City Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-The tamest
market ever experienced on the day
after an important war had been de-
clared was the outcome of trading in
the grain pits today. Instead of the
sharp advance, usual in such cases,
wheat was nc lower for September
and "a to nc down for December and
May. Corn was moderately firm for
December and May, but closed Ac
down for September. Oats acted with
corn. Provisions were much lower.
The opening of the wheat market
was comparatively quiet affair and
had scarcely any of the excitement
that in former times accompanied a
state of war between nations in
Europe. Prices showed declines at
the opening.
Even European markets were not
excited. Trade fell off greatly after
the first hour.
The corn trade was fairly steady at
the start but evinced no more inter-
est in the war than 1t did the prev
ious afternoon. Prices were firm at
the opening and the market retained
this frmness for the greater part of
the session but near the end weakness
was created by the heaviness in
wheat at that time.
No change had occurred over night
in the ideas of the oats traders who
started the business of the day at the
noint where they dropped it Friday.
This frmness was maintained until
near the end, when, in sympathy with
other grains and because Of the dull
ness. prices were shade lower than
where they left off Friday.

The entire bench agreed with him,

Justice Harlan dissented. The chief
Justice took the position that the low
err court had erred in refusing to
allow the government to amend it's
original petition. In substance the
colsft, while not denying the right of
q railroad company to hold stock in
afiother corporation, such railroad
must use that stock ownership for the
purpose Of bona fide separate admin
istration of affairs of it's own COM
pany and Of that in which it owns
stock. 1t cannot use stock in another
corporation so as to commingle the
affairs of itself and of the company
in which it owns stock SO as to make
the businesses practically indistin-
guishable. The court held that the
government may question the power
of a railroad to transport in inter-
state commerce a commodity manu-
featured, mined owned or produced
by a corporation in which the rail-
road holds stock, and where the pow
err of the railroad company as stock
holder is used to obliterate all dis
tinction between the two corporations.
AS a result of the decision the lower
court will now allow the government
to amend its petition in the Lehigh
Valley case.

engaged as contributing editors. w.

For several years DR.. Lowther has
been contemplating the preparation OF
book on horticulture, and with that
in view has been gathering material
and occasionally writing an article.
He had not, however planned so large
