Foster , th6 man convicted of potlt larceny a few weeks since , completed tils sentence In Iho county jnll to-day , and was released. On Information from G ago county , liowovcr , ho was roarrcstcd and ngaln com mitted to Jnll. It appears that bo Is wanted there on the charge of burglary. Foster called for an attorney and straightway swore out a habeas cortms before Judge Btowarr , nnd the question of his detention under ser vice of the last warrant was argued this af ternoon at 4 o'clock. Thnro Is a web of peculiar circumstances surrounding Foster that has been overlooked by the press Koner- ally. It will bo remembered that Ed Ccrf filed the complaint thut llrst led to his arrest In this city. Ho charged him with steal ing a pair of pants from his store on O street. Prior to this , however , he nnd two others , UurneU and Stout , wcro under surveillance by the police force us being Implicated in breaking Into Welsh's house and burglarizing tits safe last Juno. But no formal complaint of this was ovnr entered. Corf's complaint Included Bar- neil and Stout At the trial Foster entered the plea of guilty and was sentenced to the county Jail for ten days. Uarnoll and Stout stood trial and were acquitted. Subsequently It developed that Foster had not boon near Ccrf's store on the day the pants were stolen ; Indeed , It has boon proved that ho was not In the ctyy. When ho was arrested his wife gave It out that ho had been In the burglary business. Recent developments are such that ttio public think that ho pleaded guilty ana accepted the sentence of the court , hoping to evade a moro serious punishment ishmont that.ho thought stared him In the face. There is no roasnuaolo doubt but what ho ought to do service for thn state , nnd it Is said that ho will do so If the Gage county authorities got hold of him. A Depraved Lilttlo Girl. Word was received yesterday at the police station that a young girl who guvo liar name as Annie Kelley had been put oil the train at Culbertson. Some Lincoln people wcro there , nnd to them she said she lived In Lin coln , but * that she was running away to Denver. She said that she worked in the Peerless laundry , and though bor parents lived in the city , the roomed for the greater part of the time with another girl , a Loulso Waggoner , in the third story of the Zen- rung & Dunn block. This Miss Waggoner , she said , did fancy work for a living , but had persuaded her to go to Denver and enter a lifoof Bhutnoin the house of Miss Waggo ner's sister. These Lincoln people provided for the girl temporarily and notified the Lin coln police. Ollleer Mulouo was sent out yes- tcrduv after her and brought her in this morning. Miss Waggoner , who was arrested yester day , spent the night In the police station much to her own chagrin , us well as the honest looking young fellow's who said that bo was engaged to DO married to her. Miss Waggoner said that she hud a sister in Den ver , but that she was only a fifteen-yoar-ola girl , and could not bo engaged in that busi ness. She said that the Kclloy girl had loft her room Tuesday evening , saying that she intended going homo to spend the night , nnd thut she had not scon her since. She denied that she hud recommended such a Ufa to her , but on the contrary had warned her against It. It.Tho case was called In the police court this morning , when the Kelley elrl , who is but a little chit of a thing , only fourteen , and docs not look over twelve , was sent to Mrs. Dr. Lane to bo examined. Mrs. JJr. Lane reported that while the girl was not a virgin , she bad not recently pone astray , Tbo sympathies of ttio court and all con cerned were with Miss Waggoner , and the general oehef was tnat the little Kcllcy girl know moro of the ways of the world than did the lady whom she had accused. The case against Miss Waggoner was dismissed and the Kelley girl's parents took her homo. The 1'ouitentinry Flue. The boiler house chimney at ttio state pen itentiary is ilnished and has been secured nnd paid for by the state. It is a "live foot fiuo , " 125 feet in height and is said to bo the best thing of the kind in the state. Its con struction cost ? laoo. The board of public lauds and buildings passed upon it to-day. At the meeting of the board , Hans T. J. Fuohrmann was appointed superintendent of construction on all \vork now doing at the soldier's und sailer's homo at Grand Island. It Is stipulated that ho shall visit the work two days each week until work begins oa the boiler house , und after that time three times ouch week. The secretary was Instructed to notify Commandant Hammond that ho had bo euro- licved as superintendent. Hctccflvo Association. The Nebraska Dctectlvo company filed articles of incorporation in the oillco of the secretary of state to-day. Wunoo , Saunders county , and Chadrou , Dawcs county , are llxcd upon as the principal places for the transaction of business. Secret service work is stipulated to bo the purpose and object for whinh this company is organized. It is composed of O. H. Clark , of Wiihoo : Elijah S. Gilbert , of Corcsco ; W. H. Clark , of Aurora ; Charles J. Slavons , of Mead ; Wultor Finognn. of Omaha ; II. H. Clark , of Long Pine ; S. W. Martin , of Wahoo , and F. S. Clark , of Valentino. The gentlemen comprising the association have bound them selves unto tbo state In the sum of (10,000. and the bond bus been approved , flled and accepted. The Freight Reduction Order. The order of the state board of transporta tion reducing freight rates on coal ship ments , with the string attached , seems to bo causing some anuoyunco aim anxiety in rail road circles. It is doubtless still In mind that the board ordered all roads doing busi ness in the state to conllrm to the schedule- recommended in Secretary Gnrber's report and flndlnes on the Sutherland-Manning complaints , within the time required by law , or appear before the board and show cause why it is unreasonable and unjust. General Manager llurt , of the Elkhorn , writes the board of secretaries that whllo the road ho represents desires to comply wltli all orders and requirements of the board , the order in dicated Is to munllcstly unjust to his people that ho desires to be hoard as to Its unreason ableness , nnd asks for a data and place for the hearing. It is also stated that other roads await a hearing , uud that tbo board of transportation will lix upon a tlmo for it in the near future. Supreme Court Cases.

Ho enters the plea that Improvements cannot to made on the building without submitting the matter to a Vote of the people , for the reason that there Is no money in hand that can bo used for such purposes , The officers , on ttio other hand , claim that there is money In hand for the purpose , nnd that there Is no necessity for submitting the question to the people.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKER , Wheat Manlfoats a Tone That is Par Prom Strong. GENERAL DESIRE TO SELL CORN. Moilornto Activity In Onts and n Oood ARRrocnto Ilicordcd The Boars on Top in Provisions Cnttlo Slow Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MA.IIK.BTS. CHICAGO , August 23. [ Special Telegram to Tim BEE. ! Wheat was Jarred out of its run to-day nnd prices declined about ? /c. The market recovered a trlllo from the lowest joint of the day , bnt It was far from strong. Speculative operations were on an enlarged scale and there was free liquidation on the > .irt of fatigued or disheartened longs. That was n feature of the day's ' twdlng. The manifestation of weakness to-duy was chiefly attributable to splendid weather throughout the west and easier cables. The weather abroad Is Improving and crop advices itro moro favorable. An "old chestnut" in the form of a private cable , to t.ho effect that a soml-oIUcial estimate of the French crap showed a gain ofIS , 000,0,10 bushels over last year , was "sprung" with considerable effect early In the day , and various rumors wcro afloat as to the estimates of the "Vienna congress. " Somebody gave It out that tuo congress had jecn In tmsiou several days and \vvs about .0 Issue estimates of thn world's ' production. This was a thoino of cudloss dUcussion nnd speculation. The member who "scooped" the whole trade on the findings of the con gress last year says It doo3 not meet formally until next Monday , and that the report will not bo Issued until the last of next week. Thlt gossip Is presented for what it is worth. Any estimate from the Vienna congress can not incrcaso or decrease the world's ' produc tion a bushel , but Just the same , its report is accepted us fairly authoratatlvo by most writers and the trade in general. For thut reason it will bo awaited with no little interest. Tlie opening trades in Decom- bnr were on a basis of 7&fiTo , The market sold off to o , when it met with strong support In the shape of nntner- ous miscellaneous buying ordora und heavy [ mrchases by Hutchlnsou. The latter was u big buyer most of the session and did his best apparently to "peg the market" at 7 J c. Prices got below that flguro several times , going to % a , and oven touching 7 > c for a moment , but rallying quickly a fraction. The lighting ground w.vs around 77 | c , at near which price heavy business was done. The closing quotation was 779 < c. September opened at < 7c , ranged at 7U c@ 77o and closed at 70,3 c. Little was done In August early. Thut month started at 77 , ' c , ranged ut77@7i" } c and closed at 77c. May leftoff ntSl c. Operations were principally in futures. Among the reasons for the decline that were given was a fulling off In the shipping demand for wheat. It is true th t charters were reported for 1GJ,000 bushels to-day , and it is also probably true that considerable wheat Is still awaiting shipment as soon as advantageous freight arrangements can bo rnuda , but tills is to a largo extent classed as old business. Local stocks nro not Hkoly to show any important increase on the week , but the forward move ment from the interior is certainly on the increase , and , if the weather holds goou , a still further augmentation of receipts may reasonably bo looked for In the spring and winter districts. From the northwest word is received that competition between millers has hardened the price of choice wheats. The sentiment ia that quarter , as well as In Chicago , may bo described us bearish for all that. The fine growing weather for corn created a general desire to soil thut cereal at the opening of the market to-day , und the im pulse wus not controlled until September nnd May bad each declined % a under the lowest point touched the day before. Sep tember started at 84K ana May at 33c and sold down to JUJ c and 35v , respectively , In a very short time. There was consider able activity on the decline , but the market became dull when tlio selling pressure abated nnd a slight reaction occurred. The weakness , however , prevailed to the close. In addition to the weather influence w.is that of heavy receipts , weak foreign mark ets nnd u slacking up In tbo shipping de mand hero. An additional cause of weuic- tiess , effecting more espco a'ly ' cash corn and the seller month , was the delivering out of largo quantities of Santa Fo elevator re ceipts on Augnst contract , and this house being out of the way nnd unhandy , these re ceipts nro very unpopular. In oats moderato activity was the rule , with a good aggregate trade recorded. Prices averaged a fraction lower under liberal re ceipts. The estimate for to-morrow was also In sympathy with the ottior markets. At the sumo time there was a fair demand ut a slight decline by these who have confidence in the market at the low range now established. May sold down % o to 23) , but ull buying orders ut that could not bo tilled. With drawals for shipment were not heavy , and car lots of No. 2 to go tostoro wcro ' c lower at 20c. No. 2 white for August sola at W } { , and No. 2 white September ut 3 # ( < 4 In provisions tbo bears wore the dominant party. Larger receipts of hogs at , this and other points than expected , together with a severe break in prices for the same , made but ono side t ) the market. U had appar ently no support to speak of from any quar ter , and consequently the bears found it an easy mutter to obtain control , Prices were somuwhat irregular , but for all descriptions of the product the range of the day was materially lower than that of yesterday. Lard mid short ribs touched , in fact , the lowest figures reached this year. In trading short ribs received more than usual attention , yet pork was active , while in lard there was moro than un average movement. Shorts wcro thu principal buyers all around. From the opening to the close of change the trade was moro thnn of ordinary interest. Initiatory. transactions in various lines were made at the bust price obtained. The clos ings showed un actual decline , based on yesterday's final quotations , of - - ] c on Sep tember and January pork , 1'2J < )0 on October pork , September lard and January short ribs , 5a on October and January lard , 25o on September short ribs , nnd 22Xo oil October short ribs. _ CHICAGO lilVQ tU'OOll.

It is tmposslblo to fully convoy to the mind of n shipper in the country the true state of the cattle market. The market on beef cattle tlo was simply deaJ , nnd it was midday before - fore nny cattle of that description changed hands , In the afternoon there was some trading at prices 40@50o lower than tbo best on Thursday of last weok. Very fair or good beeves sold at $3.50. About half of the cattle were western rangers. The number of na tlvo beef unttlo was not so very largo , nnd nslde from n bunch or two the quality WAS not very desirable. There was not what could bo called a prune bunch of heavy cattle on the market. There was plenty of butch ers' stock on sale , such ; xs old nnd common cows. There was not much cbnngo in the prices on this class of cattle , nnd yet some of the buyers thought they got their cattle a llttlo lower on account or there being moro to select from , Thcro was n little moro de mand for dinners , and Micro was consider able trading in them , though mostly in small lots , odds and ends. Cnws sold nt $1.70(32.50 ( , lanrely nt ? 1.7B@2.00 and canners at $1.40(5 ( ! 1.03. There were plenty of atockers nnd feeders , especially little stoclcors , In the yards. There were quits a good many buv- crs , but they took hold n llttlo slow. Prices remain about the same. Native feeders sold nt J2.J5@3,15 ! , und some westerns at $2.50. llozs. The hog market fell away lOo to-day under the influence of a heavy tlocllno in the east ern IIOR market as well as In the provision market. Although salesmen ware a llttlo slow to let go of their holdings a clearance was effected before midday. Ijlvo HlooU Notes.
