said the judge to William Bernhardt

began Bernhardt, but he was not all

Judge Anderson then passed the
above sentences on the dynamiters.
The court pronounced the sentences
regardless of the pleas of some of the
men who wept in the arms of their
wives.
Several were given sentences of one
year and one day, in order to
send them to Leavenworth. Those
who received one year or less will be
kept in the county Jail.
THE evidence shows some of the
defendants guilty of murder, but as
it was not charged, the government
cannot punish them for that" said

Evening Grain Letter.


Chicago, Dec. 0.-Wheat--Opening
prices showed practically no change as
compared with those of Saturday and
the range throughout the session was
within narrow limits, the trend being
somewhat firmer after the publication
of the visible figures. The market
being still so largely of a professional
character fluctuations are chiefly de-
pendent upon such operations, as there
is absolutely no news at the moment
to cause any marked change in values.
Corn-The@trend of the market was
again heavy, although prices showed
only moderate recesstons. Rallies are
very feeble and was the final little
upturn in wheat which probably caused
the corn to steady.
Oats-Some further covering in the
December delivery caused that future
to rule strong, and helped to SUSTAIN
the deferred months Receipts continue
to show an increase propoTtionately
larger than the demand.
