J. H. 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 ;

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.

enters the plea that Improvements cannot to

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. J ml tro Field , on next Monday , will

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

Cattle.
Friday , August S3.
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.
