tb. Advance.
NEW YORK, July 13. There was a
scene of great excitement in both the
wheat and corn markets at New York
today, the trading aggregaating one
of the largest day's totals in a year
or more, especially- as to corn.
Prices jumped 2 5-S cents during the
day in corn, making 6& cents advance
for the week. Orders poured into the
market so fast that the brokers could
scarcely execute them at the prices de
sired and the usually small crowd
around the com ring was increased
to such an extent that at times it al
most outrivaled that in the wheat pit.
The farmers have taken the bull side
into their hands and in the face of
heavy realizing on the part of profes
sionals have kept prices going until
the cry is for GO-cent corn in Chicago.
Where the present bull movement will
end depends a great deal on weath
er conditions in the leading corn
states.
Wheat alto took an extraordinary
jump today and from being, in a posi
tion almost entirely friendless at once
leaped into' popularity with the bulls
and gave corn a close race for leader
ship in the advance for the day.
Prices in New York closed 2 and 3
cents higher than yesterday and prac
tically at the top price. Professionals
were caught in this bulge in wheat
and some of them lost about all the
money they have made by selling long
corn to the bull public For weeks
and for months wheat has been ham
mered persistently by everybody in the
belief that tho crop would be a record
one and more than enough to make
up the foreign shortage. The result
has been a huge short Interest, part
of which was caught in yesterday's
big advance. The remainder is in a
state of anxiety as to what the out
come will be, realizing that a much
greater upturn must mean the covering
of a big line of wheat. Today bulls
were still further encouraged by re
ports that wheat in the Red river al
ley was being injured by pxcessive heat
after recent wet weather.
CHICAGO. July 13. Today's advices
to the Bourd of Trade grain compa
nies arc to the effect that the beat
and drouth in the southwest arc un
broken. It is said that the damage
outside of Kansas and Missouri is com
paratively slight, but that unless there
is relief within the next ten days the
corn crop situation will approach a
calamity.
A message from Topeka, Kan., says
the prospects are for a crop of but
50,00,000 bushels of corn, although last
year's crop was 163.000,000 and the
year before 237.000,000 bushels. The
loss of hay and potatoes is also great,
second only to the loss of corn. It is
estimated that the farmers of Kansas
and Missoui i have already lost $50,003.
000 by the torridity aud drouth.
The straits in the corn crop Is said
to be owing to th intense heat and
lack of moisture &:id is ieflected in
the course of prices of that cereal
on the Board of Trade. Corn for Sep
tember delhery at the opening today
sold simultaneously from 52c to 52ic,
compared with the close yesterday at
Sl?s31l2c: shortly cfterward it was
quoted at 52T;c, or 9 cents higher than
the price one mouth ago shortly be
fore the litat and drouth began to
arouie misgivings as to the future of
the crop.
El Beno Crowd Is Thinning.
WASHINGTON, July 13. Secretary
Hitchcock said that reports from the
Oklahoma registration showed the
crowds in that country had digested
thoroughly the president's proclama
tion and realized that there was no
chance for speculators, intruders, tres
passers or gamblers. "The people."
said the secretary, "realize that the
lands are being opened in good faith
to everybody qualified and that what
is given them is not transferable."

Its a Manageable Balloon.
PARIS. July 13. XL Santos-De-mont's
cigar-shaped balloon, driven by
a motor, had a trial from SL Cloud
across Paris, around the Eiffel tower
and back to St. Cloud. The papers
say the trip was quite successful and
that the balloon ascended and descend
ed apparently at the will of the aero
naut. Tomorrow he will make an offi
cial attempt to win the prize of 100,000
francs offered by Henry Deautsch for
a manageable balloon.
City trill Pay More Iateret.
PHILADELPHIA. July 12- The
city council today passed an amended
ordinance increasing the interest on
the $9,000,000 loan to improve the
water supply from 3 per cent to 3"&
per cent. The mayor, who is now so
journing in the Allegheny mountains,
will sign the measure. His chief
clerk will leave here tonight with the
bill and it is expected the mayor will
affix his signature tomorrow and that
the new loan will soon be advertised.
- NUMBER 15.
MILEAGE Of THE COUNTIES.
Nebraska laaaetrlal Depart neat Fig-eree
Railroad Facta.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 15. The de
partment of labor and industrial sta
tistics has completed a compilation
showing the number of square miles
of territory, date of permanent or
ganization and number of miles of rail
road for every county in the state.
This information was obtained from
various sources. The railroad statis
tics were compiled from the official
records of the auditor's office, the fig
ures relating to square mileage from
the state survey and the dates of or
ganiaztion from histories, county and
judicial officials and early settlers.
The dates of county organization
comprise an entirely new feature of
Nebraska statistical information. It
was necessary for the compilers to
consult every source of information to
get the correct dates, and very often
these sources gave conflicting accounts.
In Knox county, for example, the
first organization was destroyed by In
dians and the next establishment be
came confused with the military
force stationed in the county. In such
instance the date of permanent or
ganization was accepted. The figures
given in the report have been verified
and they will soon be officially pub
lished by the state.
MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Ceart Decides that They Cannot Limit
Liability of Members.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 15. The su
preme court has decided that mutual
insurance companies cannot limit the
liability of its members. This opinion
is delivered in the case of Morgan
against the Hog Raisers' Mutual In
surance company. Morgan had a con
tract with the company which limited
his liability. An epidemic caused the
claims against the company to exceed
the assets by 913,000 and the officers
sought to collect this sum, notwith
standing it exceeded the total limit
of liability.
The court says that members of a
mutual insurance company are obli
gated to pay all assessments necessary
to liquidate losses and expenses of
management and that it is the duty
of the directors to make an assessment
whenever necessary, and, further, that
if this assessment is not paid within
Jiirty days suit may be commerr.
under the law. The court holds t!at
there is no merit in the contention
of the objecting members that be
cause the contracts are limited as to
liability they cannot be held liable for
the full amount of the losses.
ON THE GHAVt Of HIS WIEE.
Christopher Anderson Shoots Himself
and Cannot Recover.
NEBRASKA CITY. Xeb., July 15.
Christopher Anderson, an old resident
of this city, who moved to Lincoln
about two years ago, shot himself
upon the grave of his wife in Wyuka
. cemetery in this city. The weapon
f used was a 32-caliber revolver, the
muzzle of which was evidently placed
in his mouth. The ball passed up
ward and lodged in the brain. Dr.
Neal probed for the ball, but could not
locate it. The physician states that
the man cannot live. Anderson came
to Nebraska City thirty-five years ago
and lived here up to the time of the
death of his wife two years ago, when
he moved to Lincoln and took up his
residence with his son. He was a mer
chant tailor. He came here to visit
a son and seemed in the best of spir
its, although his health had not been
good lately. His family consists of
two sons and a daughter.
Mast Serve Life Sentence.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 15. After six
years of legal controversy, the supreme
court has settled that John W. Ar
gabright of Nemaha county must

more or less troublesome in different
parts of Nebraska, will now be com
pelled to battle with the South African

PIERRE, S. D., July 12. Governor
Herried today appointed A. B. Kit
tredge of Sioux Falls as senator to fill
the vacancy cause? by the death of
Senator Kyle.
Governor Herried this afternoon
gave out the following interview on
the senatorial situation:
For a week I have been receiving
telegrams and letters and listening to
the arguments of friends cf the vari
ous candidates for United States sen
ator. These communications are so
numerous that I know my friends will
not expect me to reply to each one
personally. I am so thoroughly ac
quainted with the men and familiar
with the conditions and interests of
our state that I feel I am as well pre
pared now as I would be in another
week or two to settle this matter.
"It did not take me long to conclude
to make the strongest and best ap
pointment possible. This has been
my invariable rule of action. I have
considered the man rather than his
location. Both senators from Indiana
live in the same city. It is so in some
other states. I do not underestimate
the great ability and high character
of the different aspirants for this high
office when I say that from my inti
mate acquaintance with Mr. Kittredge
I consider him most honorable, con
scientious and upright, and pre-eminently
qualified to represent our splen
did young commonwealth in the sen
ate of the United States."
Alfred B. Kittredge, who is appoint
ed by Governor Herried to fill the va
cancy' in the United States senate
caused by the death of James H. Kyle,
will serve until March 4, 1903, the
date when Senator Kyle's trm would
have expired.
The new senator was born March
28. 1861, in Cheshire county. New
Hampshire. His early education was
obtained in the public schools and by
private tutor. When 17 years of age
he entered Yale university, graduating
from that famous institution in 1882.
He then commenced the study of law
in the office of Judge Veasey at Rut
land, Yt., afterwards studying in the
law office of Bachelder & l'aulkner of
the same place.
The study of law was continued un
til 1SS4, when he entered the Yale law
school, from which he graduated in
the spring of 1885. In June of the
same year he was admitted to the bar

After reaching this goal he -and goes
to take Horace Greeley's advice Nl. to
go west. He arrived in Sioux Falls in 1
1885 and looked about for an opening
for the practice of his profession.
During this time he was frequently
seen about the office of the Sioux
Falls Daily Press, then a republican
paper, he showing a liking for the
newspaper business.
Shots .Oat Cattle Imports.
NEW YORK, July 12. The importa
tion of fine cattle at this port will
have to cease for the next few months,
at least, and steamship agents are in
arms in consequence. They assert
that this is another evidence of the
government's intention to discriminate
against the port of New York in favor
of Baltimore. Boston and Canadian
ports, but this the federal officials
deny. Companies that make a busi
ness of handling cattle have been no
tified of the change.

EL RENO, O. T., July 12. More
than 5,000 people were registered to
day. It is doubtful if the total reg
istration will run as high as 50,000.
About 2,000 are being registered daily
at Lawton. The crowd here remains
about the same in size. Every incom
ing train brings hundreds, but the
same trains always take away an equal
number who have secured certificates.
There is plenty to eat and drink. There
is very little drunkenness.

ASKS PRAYERS AND EASTING.
Governor of Missouri Ured to Xame
Day for Bain.
ST. LOUIS. Mo.. July 12. A special
dispatch from Jefferson City, Mo., says
that Governor Dockery has received
numerous petitions asking him to is
sue a proclamation setting a day of
fasting and prayer for ram. It is
stated that unless rains soon come the
failure of crops in Missouri will be the
greatest since 1834. The tr-mperature
at various points in the state yester
day was as follows: Jefferson City,
107; Columbia, 110 to 112 in the shade;
Mexico, 112; St. Joseph, 109; Hanni
bal, 105; Harrisonville, 109
At 4 p. m. the record of yesterday,

with prospects that it would go a frac

LONDON, July 12. "Apparently the

to the Morning Post from Nieu
Chwang, dateu July 8, "although there
is no reason for their administration
of a treaty port. The country is per
fectly quiet between Nieu Chwang and
Mukden. Russia's immense harbor
works at Dainey are half completed.
When finished the harbor will be the
finest in the east."

LONDON, July 12. "There is no
longer the slightest hope," says a dis
patch to the Daily News from Odessa,
"of saving even a moiety of the crops
in the Volga governments of Amara,
Saratoff and Kassan, as well as many
districts of the neighboring govern
ments. Over the whole region there
has been a protracted drouth, with
tropical heat, the temperature varying
for seven weeks from 130 to 150 Fahr

EL RENO, O. T.j July 11. The total
registration of homesteaders at El
Reno yesterday was 4,018. 193 being
women. Commissioner Richardson es
tablished a separate registration booth
for women. Mr. Richardson says he
can register 8,000 daily from now on
or as soon as organization of hla
force is perfected.
EL RENO. O. T.f July ll. Follow
ing out the proclamation of President
McKmley opening up to settlement
by whites the 1,300 farms in the Kiowa-Comanche
country, the first regis
tration of bomeseekers was made here
and at Lawton at 9 o'clock this morn
ing. Hundreds were still lined before
the various registration boards when
darkness came tonight and tomorrow
and next day the registration will
continue until all who come .have been
given an opportunity to file their
names. The drawing by lottery will
begin July 29 and until then none of
the 50,000 applicants will know wheth
er or not he has been lucky enough
to receive a homestead.
The lottery scheme robbed the open
ing of the picturesque run and the
exciting- times incident to the great
opening of the Cherokee strip ten
years ago. Compared with that event
the affair today was tame in the ex
treme. Although there are perhaps
20,000 people in town .practically no
disorder prevailed. As a rule the
homeseekers were well provided with
money and provisions and aside from
the iong wait in the sun before the
registration booths, no serious incon
venience has been experienced.
Last night hundreds of people slept
in the streets and alleys to maintain
their places in lines which began
forming yesterday at the six regis
tration booths in El Reno. Many had
waited on the border of the new coun
try for two years or more and the
last night of their long vigil was the
most trying they had experienced. The
line was made up of the halt, the
lame and the brawny frontiersman,
sprawled out in the dust. The crowd
before each booth elected a captain
and each man and woman in line was
given a number which they pinned
conspicuously to their clothes. A
company member was permitted oc
casionally to absent himself from line
for a short breathing spell and inva
riably his place was protected by his
fellow watchers.
As the hour of 9 o'clock neared in
terlopers tried to push in and break
the numerical order of the line or
ganization. This instantly raised bad
blood aad when word was passed
tfc-?n the line a little later that the
booth officials would not recognize the
line organization, but would register
the first person to present themselves
there were threats of violence and ri
oting seemed likely. Trouble was pre
vented by the early announcement
that the line organization would be
respected by the government officials.
Cheers and waving of hats greeted
the word and from this time forth no
sign of trouble was apparent. Ap
plicants were admitted to the bootas
four at a time and the filing proceed
ed rapidly all day long.
During the day the heat became in
tense, but no serious suffering was
reported. The numerous women in
line were treated gallantly by the men,
who shaded them from the sun with
embrellas and furnished drinks from
the lemonade venders who plied ineir
ranks.
The second place of registration
named in the proclamation was at
Lawton twenty-five miles overland,
where similar scenes to those enacted
in El Reno were witnessed.
OfcNING NOT TO BE DEFERRED.
Secretary Hitchcock Telegraphs There
can Be Xo Postponement.
WASHINGTON, July 11. The
complaints from land offices in Okla
homa other than El Reno and Lawton
that they should be allowed to make
registrations from the opening of the
reservations are regarded officially as
not well founded. The matter was
taken up some weeks ago and Delegate
Flyan at the time unsuccessfully en
deavored to have the other Oklahoma
offices included.
It is claimed here that the reports
of the number of cattle on the land
to be opened has been exaggerated
and that there are in fact on the
Wichita reservation only 72.000 head.
The opening of certain lands on Au
gust 6, which stockmen are seeking to
have postponed, is mandatory. A
large part of the 72.000 head on the
Wichita lands, it is claimed, can be
shiped to market by the allotted time
and the rest moved down to the Ki
owa grazing lands, which will not be
thrown open to settlement.
