benefit of the Board of Iublic Lands
and Buildings the advisability of at
tempting to let the state prison con
tract for a term of two years, as pro
vided by the bill. Fractically the con
tract could only b let for twenty
months, or until the expiration of the
next term of the legislature Warden

twice the amount ever required before,
the latter says that it is an exact du
plicate of the last one sent in by Con
tractor Dorgan. Warden Leidigh also
directs attention to the fact that even
had the estimate been too large, and
lasted for two months, the state vould
not have been a sufferer in the least.

An Omaha paper says the reduction
of freight rates from the Missouri river
to Utah common points by the Union
Facific was a genuine lf-karat surprise
to competing roads in Utah. The Uic
Grande Western officials say that they
will meet the cut. and the general be
lief in railroad circles is that they will
endeavor to go the reduction one bet
ter. The Union Facific officials deny
that they have violated any pledges, as
it is alleged in the newspaper tele
grams by the Kio Grande Western. The
Union Facific representatives say that
the cut has been in contemplation for
some time, and that the cut was not
made secretly.
A Butte dispatch says: It looks
now a if the men charged with lynch
ing Barrett Scott will be tried in this
county, although nine-tenths of the
citizens of the county are highly indig
nant, believing as they do that it will
put the county to an unnecessary ex
pense and avail nothing, as it is gener
ally believed that much contradictory
evidence will be produced proving that
Barrett Scott was not murdered in
Boyd county. It is expected that it
will take fully one week to get a jury.
A special venire of 100 men will be sub
poenaed; but it is not believed that a
jury can be secured from less than 500.
The population of Butte is but 500, and
should this case come to trial it will be
doubled while the trial is in progress.
There is no telling just what will be
done until the trial is started.
C A. Forti-r, a resident of Spring
Creek, Keya Faha county, came into

THE TRADE REVIEW.
A GENUINE BOOM ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.
Reports from Every Tart of the Ciilon
Are Favorable Retter Crop Condi
tions a Good Feature Failures for
the Week.
New York, June 17. It. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
"It is no longer a question whether
business improves. Not for a long time
have our reports from all parts of the
country been so uniformly favorable.
The dally average of bank clearing ir.
June is 24.S per cent larger than last
year, though 11.4 per cent less than in
1S92. The most potent Influence has
been the receipt of more favorable ad
vices regarding growing crops. Labor
troubles are getting out of the way;
wages in many establishments are ris
ing, and, with the iron Industry just
now leading, there is general Improve
ment In manufactures. Monetary con
dition also helps. The time draws near
when, with good crops, exports will
bring gold hither, and though foreign
operations in stocks and bonds have
been insignificant this week, 4the effect
of the previous translations has not
been exhausted.
"Much diminished receipts of money
from the interior indicate better employ
ment In business and especially at the
West, the volume of commercial loans
steadily rises and is now fair for this
season, even In a good year. Western
receipts for two weeks of June were
3.116.6S0 bushels of wheat, against 3.001.
202 last year, while Atlantic exports,
flour Included, were only 2.364.S17 bush
els, against 4.630.227 last year. Kffects
of the rise In prices were seen In the of
ficial report of May exports, showing a
decrease of 1.000.000 bushels from At
lantic, but an increase of 2.000.000 from
Pacific in exports. The price was re
duced 2i In trading. Corn also declined
about le. with better reports of growth.
"The official statement of 14. S decrease
In cotton acreage was quickly found. In
view of revised government estimates
for last year, to mean more than 20,
000.000 acres now growing cotton, which
much exceeds the best unofficial esti
mates, and from an area no greater over
9.000.000 bales were produced In 1S91. so
that the report gave no aid to prophets
of evil. That some reduction would be
well for the south Is clear, but the heavy
present surplus will cover a larger loss
than seems probable. Cottonmanufac
turers look for a speedy settlement of la
bor troubles and find a moderate de
mand for low. and medium, and heavy
weight goods, while some of the cheap
er lines of spring goods have been
opened with encouraging results, but as
to better trade there is still great uncer
tainty about prices. The anthracite coal
trade does not maintain the improve
ment recently reported, and with palpa
ble overproduction, bad faith being
charged again, the price has declined 25
cents. The coke producers about Con
nellsville have not yet made open decla
ration of their new compact, but con
tracts are being made at $1.35 for the
last half year, with provisions for ad
vance If wages rise.
"Failures for the last week have been
241 In the United States, against 232 last
year, and 24 In Canada, against 40 last
year."
Indiana Crop Outlook Had.
Indianapolis. Ind.. June 17. Returns
from 254 townships in this state show
that the average amount of wheat
plowed up Is 4.5 per cent. It Is esti
mated that the average yeleld In these
townships will be 7.8 bushels an acre.
If the reports are correct, and the
same ratio will hold good throughout
the state, the total yield for the year,
besed on an acreage of last year, will
be only 19.S15.C07 bushels, a decrease of
61.2 per cent In the yield. It Is expected
that the reports from a large majority
of the townships will be in during next
week when a mor concise estimate of
the crop can be made than is now pos
sible. Threaten a Lynching.
Peoria, 111.. June 17. A hundred farm
ers living in the vicinity of Alta, this
county, have organized a posse and are
searching the country for R. W. God
dard. who Is wanted for attempting
criminal assaults on the 4-year-old
daughter of Mr. Bliss and the 13-year-old
daughter of Mr. Ford. The latter
declares he will shoot the offender on
sight, and the excitement Is at fever
heat. Goddard was formerly a resident

Cutworms In Kentucky Tocacco.
Clnclnnat, Ohio. June 17. About six
weeks ago there were reports of rav
ages of the army worm in Kentucky,
but the stories subsided until yesterday,
when reports came that in Morgan
county. Ky., cutworms are working in
juriously on young tobacco plants.
Similar reports came from Owen coun
ty and Booth county, Ky., and Brown
county, Ohio. The state commissioner
of agriculture gives the tobacco acre
age In Kentucky as 80 per cent, and the
condition as 68 per cent.
Can Race at Koby, Ind.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 17. The Su
preme court adjourned yesterday with
out handing down the decision in the
Roby case. The governor and the attorney-general
had the appeal set for
ward and confidently expected the de
cision In the recent injunction case
would come before the summer vaca
tion. There will be no way to get at
the Supreme court until fall unless it
should come together in vacation.
Revolution Is Disastrous.
Washington, June 17. The state de
partment has received information of
the sertous devastation the revolution
in Colombia Is causing. The govern
ment is out of funds and Is making tax
levies which are hard to bear, placing
an enormous export tax on coffee, the
principle crop of the country. The revo
lution also has drained the country of
men, and has resulted in the destruc
tion of crops and of animals used for
transportation.
To Erect a Statue of Cromwell.
London, June 17. The proposal of the
government to erect a Btatue of Oliver
Cromwell was adop-d in the house of
commons by a vote of 152 to 137. The
passage of the motion was secured only
by the support of the Orangemen.
CARLISLE AT LOUISVILLE,
The Secretary of the Treasury Talks
Against Silver.
Louisville Ky., June 17. Secretary
Carlisle last evening made an address
on the currency question. He repeated
his argument that the undervalued met
al would be driven out of the country
by the adoption of a bimetallic system,
and at some length paid attention to
the claims that the fall in the price of
silver was due to Its demonetization.
He said: "It Is Insisted that the fall in
the price of silver is attributable to the
legislation in Germany, the United
States, France and various other coun
tries during and since the year 1873, and
most illoglcally It is also insisted that
notwithstanding the reduced price of
that metal Is the result of the un
friendly action of a great many govern
ments acting in concert and with a set
tled purpose, the United States alone
can restore the value of sliver. Of
course If it required the action of
twelve or thirteen different governments
to bring the price of silver to its pres
ent state It would seem quite cleat that
no one of them alone could restore It.
The fall In the price of silver was not
due to the legislation complained of but
to an enormous overproduction. While
the farmers and other producers are
struggling to live comfortably and meet
their obligations, owners of silver mines
have accumulated enormous fortunes.
That the flat of the government does
not make money was illustrated by the
history of the trade dollar. What hap
pened to the trade dollar would be ex
actly what would happen to all other
sliver dollars if free and unlimited
coinage was adopted."
MUST NOT CARRY ARMS.
Trial of Alleged Lyncher of Barrett
Scott Commenced.
Butte, Neb., June 17. The celebrated
Scott trial Is now commenced. The attorney-general
entered a nolle In the
case of Plnkerman, Stanton, Roy, and
Oberle, four of the defendants, leaving
but threee and reducing the preemp
tory challenges of the defendants from
112 to thirty-three. Two hundred tales
men have been called already and nine
were xassed for cause. At that rate
it will take a week to secure a Jury. An
effort Is being made to secure a tent
owing to the poor sanitary condition of
the building. The court Instructed the
sheriff and bailiff to see that no one
entered the courtroom carrying arms.
Excitement Is very high, as the people
of this county are indignant that the
case is being tried In It, and the attorney-general
Is wholly responsible for
this. To-day witnesses to the number
of 200 will arrive. W. F. Gurley of
Omaha is here to assist the state.
