WHEAT IS WOBBLY
An Indecisive Character At
tached to Most of the News.
Winter Wheat Prospects Not
Uniformly Encouraging.
SCATTERED SELLING
Gives an Easy Tone to the Corn
Market.
Large Supply of Foreign Hogs
Depresses Provisions.
SCATTERED SELLING

Chicago, Dec. 14.-WHEAT-It was
mainly scalping market today in wheat.
An indecisive character attached to most
of the news so that prices took no we'll
defined course but rather seemed inclined
Argentine developments gave little COM
fort to either side. Reports to winter
wheat prospects in the United States were
described not uniformly encouraging
but positive evidence was lacking as to
any actual damage.
The opening was a shade to 1sQAc lower.
May started at $3.50 to 973zc, rallied to
S77sc and then fell to 97ssc-
Larger receipts northwest counted
against the market The close, however,
was steady with May at 97ssq9f1zc, a loss
of &c net.
CORN-Scattered selling made corn easy.
A few longs were unloading because of
teh good weather. May opened unchanged
to 1sc higher at 63s4c to 633sc and declined
to 6S9sc.
The buIIish nature of the Iowa state re-
port helped steady prices a little, closing
figures were easy, though at 3ss0oS12c Tor
May, a decline of 1Ad&sc from last night
OATS-OatS Sagged owing to absence OF
demand. The weakening of corn acted
also as a drag on the market. May start
ed UNCHANGED to a shade lower at 1880
to 491kQ1914c and descended to 1890.
PROVISIONS Statements that foreign
supplies of hogs were larger than expect
ed depressed provisions quotations at
the wards here also showed a drop. First
sales were 215c to 71&c down with May
$500 for pork, $9.2719 to $3.50 for lard and
$3.50 for ribs.

HYDE CAN'T ESCAPE.
Prosecution Declares He VIII Be Tried
a Third Time.

Kansas city, Dec. 14.-"Dr. B. Clarke
Hyde has not been placed in jeopardy
in his second trial. If the eleven re-
naming members of the jury that has
been hearing his case in which he is
charged with killing Col. Thomas H.
Swope, are discharged, he will be again
placed on trial. 1t is improbable, how
ever, that his case will be reached be-
fore the April term
This was the statement Henry L.
Jost, assistant prosecuting attorney,
made for the prosecutors office today:
DR.. Hyde's attorneys contend it will
be impossible to try their client
third time as his life has been placed
in Jeopardy at the second hearing,
which promises to result in a mistrial
owing to the disappearance of Harry
w Waldron, one of the jurors.
It is not impossible that the jury will
be dismissed today Judge Porterfield
and representatives Of the prosecutor
office held an extended conference last
night, and although no statement was
issued regarding what decision was
reached, it is understood all those pres
ent agree it is practically useless to
hold the eleven jurors much longer
Few believe Waldron is in the city

ing taken to Fort Riley.
A dispatch from Olustee, small town
in the southwestern portion of the state,
brought this information. Mrs. Brewer,
wife of the minister, declined to discuss
her husbands arrest.
Woman Laughs at Charge.
Kansas City, Dec 14--In the matron' 5
room at police headquarters where she
has been held awaiting the arrival of fed
eral authorities from Fort Riley, Mrs
Anna Jordan. charged by Private Quirk.
in confession at Fort Riley, with COM
plicity in the dynamiting plot at the fort,
heard why she was arrested. She had
not been permitted to read the papers to-
day and when reporter told of Quirk S
confession Mrs Jordan laughed and said
it was ridiculous"
Il never heard of Quirlz." said Mrs.
Jordan. II hardly knew Chaplain Brew
er and never was in a motor car with
him, as Quirk charges. I cannot be mixed
up in this matter, because l was In st.
Louis with relatives at the time the ex-
plosions occurred" Mrs. Jordan said she
would not give their names because she
did not wish to have them know of her
arrest.
When I was In Junction CITY, Mrs.
Jordan continued several of my friends
Joked me about the dynamiting and said
they heard was mixed up in it. That is
of it,
Mrs Jordan will be taken to Junction
City today.
Prisoner Tells His Story.
Leavenworth, kan, Dec. 14.-Fred Jor-
dom military convict, and husband of
Mrs. Anna Jordan, arrested in Kansas
CAty, after being implicated by Private
Michael Quirk in mysterious series of
explosions at Fort Riley talked about his
wifes arrest in his cell today. Jordan
said it would have been impossible for
Mrs. Jordan to have been implicated in
any way with the dynamiting. He de-
clared she was at her home in st. Louis
at the time of the explosion
Was your wife acquainted with
Quirk2'' Jordan was asked
Not that I know off, he replied.
WAS she acquainted with Rev. Mr..
Brewer?''
7 don't think she ever met him. She
was at the post only once that know of,
and then for short time only. That was
before the dynamiting-
Jordan, who was a soldier, was con-
fined to the guard house at Fort Riley
for larceny at the time of the explosions.
While thus detained his wife, it is said.
in some manner, furnished him with an
army rifle and he made his escape. He
was captured the following day, however,
and sentenced to the military prison here.
His wife was arrested on a charge of aid
ing his escape and was out on bond pend
ing her trial.
Fort Riley officials declined to make
any statement concerning a prevalent
rumor that the blowing up of a water
main last August to which Michael
Quirk confessed, was part of a plot to
cut off the water supply and then de-
stroy the entire post by fire.
Charles - Brewer, formerly an army
chaplain. now pastor of Baptist
church at OIustee, Ok, AM Mrs. Fred
Jordan of Kansas City, both accused
in Quirks confession of implication in
causing recent mysterious fires and
explosion at the fort were expected to
arrive here late today in the custody
of United States marshal.

To Count The Mail.

Postmaster Nixon received an
order from the department the
first of the week directing him
to make record during the
month of May Of all incoming
and outgoing mail, weighing the
same and uniting the pieces in
their several classifications and
the actual time consumed in dis
tribution of the several classiti-
cations-1st, I'd aud Sd class,
foreign, registered and franked
This count is to be kept on both
incoming and outgoing mail.
In former years a general
weighing of the mail has fre.
qnently been ordered, but
nothing like the present detailed
count and classification has ever
before been ordered. The post
master says that the order will
cause an hour to an hour and a
half more in the distribution of
the mails, and if there is delay
in opening the window or in dis
trlbutlon the public will know
the cause of it.
