TIIE county commissioners of Jefferson - son county have offered a reward of 51,000 for the arrest and conviction of the men who murdered Postmaster Graham at Bower.

MEYER , for five years a resident of Pawnee City , and for about twenty-five years a resident of Pawnee county , committed suicide after supper the other night by blowing the top of his head off with a navy revolver. The whole side of his head was blown off and the room was spattered over with his blood and brains. For a long time he has been a total physical wreck caused by drink. CIIARLEY BROWN , the young negro arrested - rested on the charge of secreting himself - self in Bice & Co.'s cellar , at Pawnee Cityand then gaining entrance to the room above after the clerics left , was heard before Judge Belding and held to the district court. A pair of shoes and about I00 pennies were missing andthe , fact that the negro was found at Table Rock the next day spending pennies quite freely led to his arrest. ' Evi : , the wife of Arthur Bishop , living - ing one mile east of Monroe , eloped with the hired man , named Stevens. Stevens left , saying he was going to Columbus. Later in the evening Mrs. Bishop packed her own and Stevens' clothing in satchels and taking all the money in the house , hitched up and it is supposed left in company with Stevens.

THE Lincoln Journal says that Geo. W. Lowry has received crop reports from his agents scattered over a large part of the state , and he says they give assurances of a big crop. Mr. Lowrey is now of the opinion that the oat crop will not only be large , but actually the biggest ever raised in the state. One of his agents wrote a doleful letter two weeks ago in which he said there could not possibly be any oats , but the same man wrote again yesterday declaring he had not believed , such a change could have been wrought in two weeks. He said prospects were good and a rain in two weeks wouldmake , the crop cer- tain. tain.T1lE T1lE managers of the state fair met in Omaha last week. Some comment was occasioned by a report that had been printed in a state paper , to the effect that the exhibitors would be obliged - liged to pay switching charges on their exhibits. This is most emphatically denied by the managers. There hays not been a time in the last decade when exhibitors have been calledon , to pay these charges at the Nebraska state fair : The fair association has always paid them and it is one of the express provisions in the agreement by which the fair was taken to Omaha , that all of these charges should be paid without expense to the exhibitor. Aid Sent to Veferans. The final report of the relief commitr tee of the Grand Army of the Republic has been filed. The relief committee was composed of ex-Department Commander - mander Church Howe of Auburn , T. S. Clarkson of Omaha and A. M. Trimble of Lincoln and was appointed at the state encampment which met at Hastings - ings last February. Before the committee - mittee had been officially appointed Commander Howe and his adjutant , Mr. Trimble , had commenced the relief work , and up to the time of the Hastings - ings encampment had collected 2,348 ; 09 in cash and disbursedl.048.52,1eav- ing a balance of $399.57 to be turned over to the relief committee. In addition - tion to the cash Messrs. Howe and Trimble had made 144 shipments of supplies , consisting of 851 packages of flour , prvisions and' clothing , together with 400 tons of coal and several cars of wood and grain , the estimated value of'the whole being $5,725. ' The report shows th ; + , t the relief committee - mittee hind disbursed $22O49.4G. This amount has gone to the veteran soldiers in needy circumstances and has been distributed through the Grand Army posts in the drouth affected dis- triet. 'There was no cumbersome sys tern connected with the distribution of the relief funds.When an application for assistance came from a Grand Army post it-was taken for granted that the post knew exactly what it wanted. Immediately upon receipt of such application - plication the committee would mail a draft 'for the amount needed to supply the relief and a.telegram would be sent stating that the funds were . on their way. Each post purchased the supplies - plies at home with the cash sent by the relief committee. In this way two- thirds of the money applied to the relief - lief of needy veterans was not diverted to the railroads.for . freight charges. The'committee' ' also distributed an immense - mense amount of supplids , chiefly coal , clothing and provisions. A'large part of these supplies were carried free by the railroads TBE Omaha Bee says the local solic- I sting committee , which is securing sub- 1 scriptions.for the autumnal festivities at the fair , report the $1 popular subscription - scription idea is likely to be fruitful of 1 great results. It' ' gives everybody a chance to contribute a share and help build up the great enterprise. The rain has created a general confidence tll over tlhestate : ; and , while'.the ' local su'bseriptions will be fully' up to expectations - pectations ; the board has received env encouraging adrices from all over the Mate , which assures the' interests of Farmers and citizens , and the man. agers anticipate h large attendance and extensive exhibit in every department. I THE TRADE REVIEW. A GENUINE BOOM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. Reports from Every Part of the UnIor. Are Favorable-Better Crop Conditions - tions a Good Feature-Failures for tire Week New York , June 17.-R. 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 daily average of bank clearings in June is 24.8 per cent larger than last year , though 11.4 per cent less than In 1892. The most potent Influence has been the receipt of more favorable advices - vices regarding growing crops. Labor troubles are getting out of the way ; wages in many establishments are rising - ing , and , with the Iron industry just now leading , there is general improvement - ment in manufactures. Monetary. condition - 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 , the effect of the previous transaations has not been exhausted. "Much diminished receipts of money from the interior indicate better employment - 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 3,116,680 bushels of wheat , against 3,001 ; 202 east year , while Atlantic exports , flour Included , were only 2,364,847 bushels - els , against 4,630,227 last year. Effects of the rise In prices were seen in the of- ficlal report of May exports , showing a decrease of 1,000,000 bushels from Atlantic - lantic , but an increase of 2,000,000 from Pacific in exports. The price was reduced - duced 21E in trading. Corn also declined about lc , with better reports of growth. "The official statement of 14.8 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 estimates - mates , and from an area no greater over 9,000,000 bales were produced in 1591 , 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 labor - bor troubles and find a moderate demand - mand for low , and medium , and heavy weight goods , while some of the cheaper - er lines of spring goods have been opened with encouraging results , but as to better trade there'is still great uncertainty - tainty about prices. The anthracite coal trade does not maintain the improvement - ment recently reported , and with palpable - ble overproduction , bad faith being charged again , the price has declined 25 cents. The coke producers about Con- nellsville have not yet made open declaration - ration of their new compact , but contracts - tracts are being made at $1.35 for the last half year , with provisions for advance - 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 rear. " Indiana Crop Outlook Bad. 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 estimated - mated that the average yeield 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 , based on an acreage of last year , will be only 19S15,307 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 more concise estimate of the crop can be made than is now pos- ible. Threaten a Lynching. Peoria , Ill. , June 17.-A hundred farmers - 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 tile excitement is at fever heat. Goddard was formerly a resident here , is a blacksmith , and has a wife and two children. Cutworms in Kentucky Tocacco. Cincinnat , Ohio. June 17.-About six weeks ago there were reports of ray- ages of the army worm ! n Kentucky , but the stories subsided until yesterday , when reports came that in Morgan county , Ky. , cutworms are working injuriously - juriously on young tobacco plants. Similar reports came from Owen county - ty and Booth county , Ky. , and Brown county ; Ohio. The state commissioner of agriculture gives the tobacco acreage - age in Kentucky as SO percent , and the condition as 68 per cent. Can Race at Roby , Ind. 1 Indianapolis , Ind. , June 17.--The Supreme - preme court adjourned yesterday without - out handing down the decision in theReby Roby case. The governor and the at- torney-general had the appeal set forward - I ward and confidently expected the decision - 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 department - t partment has received information of the serious devastation the revolution n Colombia is causing. The government - ment is out of funds and is making tax evies which are hard to bear , placing an enormous export tax on coffee , the. principle crop of the country. The revoc ution also has drained the country of men , and has resulted in thedestruc- , tion of crops and of animals used for c transportation. f To Erect a Statue of Cromwell. London , June.17.-The proposal of the government to erect a Statue of Oliver Cromwell was adopted in , the house of commors ° by a vote of 152 to 137. The s passage of the motion was secured only by the support ! the , Orangemen. p i. . r . CARLI3LE AT LCU1SVILL ? . 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 undervaluetfinet- 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 countries - tries during and since the year 1873 , and most illogically it is also insisted that notwithstanding the reduced price of that metal is the result of the unfriendly - friendly action of a great many governments - ments acting in concert and with a settled - tled purpose , the United States alone can restore the value of silver. Of course if It required the action 'of twelve or thirteen different governments to bring the price of silver to its present - ent state it would seem quite clear that no one of them alone could restore it. The fall in the price of silver was not due to the legislation complained of butte 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 happened - pened to the trade dollar would be exactly - actly what would happen to all other silver dollars if free and unlimited coinage was adopted. " MUST NOT CARRY ARMS. Trial of Alleged Lynchers of Barrett Scott Commenced. Butte , Neb. , June 17.-The celebrated Scott trial is now commenced. The at- torney-general entered a nolle in the case of Pinkerman , Stanton , Roy , and Oberle , four of the defendants , leaving but threee and reducing the preemptory - tory challenges of the defendants from 112 to thirty-three. Two hundred tales- men have been called already and nine ) were passed for cause. At that 'rate it will take a week to secure a jury. An effort is being made to secure a tent i 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 , its the people of this county are indignant that thei case is being tried in it , and the attor- ney-general is wholly responsible for this. To-day witnesses to the number I of 200 will arrive. W. F. Gurley of Omaha is here to assist the state. Rockefeller WIII Fight. New York , June 17.-Neither John D. Rockefeller nor Charles W. Wetmore will say anything in regard to the ver- ' diet of $940,000 damages by a jury yesterday - terday to Alfred Merritt , of Duluth , in his suit against John D. Rockefeller i for $1250,000 damages for consolidating the Mesaba mines with the Rockefeller iron properties. It is understood that Mr. Rockefeller will appeal the case and fight to the last ditch before he will ' pay the judgment. Chicago Warehouse Burns , , Chicago , June 17. The Oakland warehouse , a three-story brick building extending from No. 159 to No. 163 39th i street , was burned out last evening at 10 o'clock. The loss on the building and the household goods stored in it will be practically complete. The building was worth $20,000 and was insured for $12,000.

BRITISH CONSUL WILL TAKE ACTION IN A STRANGE CASE. The Reason for the Abandonment of the Burning Vessel , Why Not , by Its Crew , Not Yet Known-Yesterday's sews from Across the Water. St. Male , June 13.-Particulars have been received here of the desertion of the passengers by the crew of the British - ish 'vessel Why Not after fire broke out on board the ship while on her way to the island of Jersey. It appears that fire was discovered in the Why Not's hold Saturday and while the sailors were attempting to quench the flames a bucket was dropped overboard. A boat was lowered to recover it and the captain jumped into this boat and was followed by the crew. One passenger sprang overboard and swam after the boat , into which he was reluctantly taken. The deserted passengers - sengers were greatly alarmed and the excitement among them increased when a small boat was seen to be pulling for Erquaywhere the crew eventually land ed. Taking advantage of a breeze the passengers handled the Why Not as best they could and succeeded in beaching - ing her near Erquay. The incident has caused intense excitement at St. Brieux , the nearest town to Erquay , and the matter is being thoroughly Investigated - ed by the local authorities. The captain of the Why Not , although not under arrest , is closely watched by the police. It is understood that the British consul here will take the matter - ter up and upon his report will depend further action. COULDN'T SCARE HIM. Casliler of a Montana Bank Not Afraid of a Gun. Butte , Mont. , June 13.-A man , who refused to give his name , entered the Silver Bow National bank here at the noon hour yesterday and demanded money from W 0. Thomas , who was in charge.
