' \V. 11. Koberson , manager of the II. G.
JJun & 'Co. Murcantllo agency , says :
"fho llrst week ot August Is seldom
marked by any special activity in Jobbing or
banking circles , but the past \vocK Is an ex
ception among most ot the wholesale dealers ,
who report both trade ana collections bolter
than was anticipated. The grocers say that
the week has been particularly good In the
country/nnd there Is a marked Improvement
in city sales.
"Tlio wholesale druggists are making no
coinulalnt , though tbo weather If nothing
else keeps down their enthusiasm ,
' Trade In boot * , ind shoos , dry goods nnd
hardware Is qulto .sntlsfiictor.v , considering
the season , and In hardware nil the houses
nro pressed with orders nnd prices npproci-
nol.v Improved.
"Liquor dcnlor.i nnd brewers find the week
only ullghtly imi-roved , tbo consumption not
bctnp as InrRO locally as was expected , In
view of the cxtromo heat.
"Trado In building materials ot all kinds
is quiet , especially in the city.
"Hankers are not agreed a ; to the financial
situation except In saying that tnonoy Is very
easy. Several report no change while two
or thrco note an improved demand with pros
pects tor moro activity -by September , when
the movement of crops becomes general and
clock Is purchased ( or winter feeding. Ono
lianK reports u loan of $10,000 at U per cent
nnd stivten that moro pannr'of the same kind
would bo cheerfully taken. Another largo
bonk notes n reduction of ? tt)0OU01n ) deposits
nlnco July 12 nnd a corresponding Increase
in loans und discounts. ( Jonornlly , ho'.vovor ,
the banks Lave cash on hand equal to CO per
cent or moro of the deposits.
"Kotitll trade Is not tnueh Improved , oven
In groceries and other necessities , and con
tinues very dull in most lines.
"Heal estate agents report some inquiries ,
but few sales.
'At South Omalta business has bcon only
fair. Packers complain of the active eastern
demand for nogs nnd consequent high prices ,
whllo cnttlo receipts huvo not been equal to
tlio demand In their lino. The Texas ranges
are not yet taking advantage of llio lower
rate * , but active missionaries are In the
Held nnd the stock people nro conIIJem a
Tory large number will uo received later in
the fall. It is botwccu seasons in cattle and
receipts are affected unfavorably bv this
fiict.
"Heports from our country correspondents
indicate thai crop prospects nro Improving.
Country merchants llnd trudo quiet , owing
to the fact that farmers are busy In tun har
vest Holds and collections a trilla elow.
Money Is easy , however , nnd the outlook for
full trade is encouraging. "

pleted JHo cards are kept in the same boxes ,
und the cases are drawn for adjudication in
the order of their completion. Moro cases
are allowed under tba act of Juno 27 , IS'.IU ,
because more of thorn are complnind. These
oricinal claims are now being drawn for

ber of examiners are kept upon thu first and

olhur claims of the third class , The policy
of the bureau of keeping a larger forca on
tbo claims of these who hive never drawn
pensions itiun on the claims of those now on
the roll Is believed to bo ] usv and proper.
In all original invalid claims tiled undortho
out of June 27 , 1890 , to Juno 1 , IMt' , calls huvo

the claimants have failed to appear for medi

The situation In wheat was looked upon ns
essentially different from that In the other

In addition It was reported there was a laolt

to Cock roll Ilros. Commission company :
The wheat market wan without nn Important
Inoinont today. Tho'soo : ! Hour demand nnd
liberal charters wuro ofTsct by line weather
In the northwest and largo estimated receipts
for Monday. Trade was dull and the market
narrow , but closed c hl.'hcr In sympathy
with other markets. Corn nnd o.its were uc-
tive. strong and oxoltud at times , with
liberal bnylm ; for both loir. : und short ac
count caused by continued hot weather and
drouth In the southwest and consequent re
duced oHlmates of yield. If the drouth con
tinues over- Sunday a sensational advance In
corn Is probable. Charters : Wheat , 213,000 ;
corn , 2 ' 7 , DUO : oats , 20 ' ,000. Provisions opened
nt a sham advance on ontsldo buying , no
doubt Inllnoneed considerably by sensational
nowspauor talk of an ' [ Armour dual" on the
bull side in the September future. When the
estimated recolmsof hogs for nuxt weuk were
placud ut only U.MUO the shorts became anx
ious buyers. The prominent holders wuro
prutl.y stead v sellers on the upward scale but
still hold control of the markot.
UuiCAao , III. .Augusto. Koiinolt , Hopkins ft
Co. to S. A. MoWhorter ; Wheat Thoonly news
of Iniportancj Is Increase In export * for the
wei'lc of over I,400,0u0 bushels n compircd
with the week pluvious. The pit has boon
almost deserted at tunes , thn traders going
over Into corn , oats and provisions
on account of thu pruator activity ,
There Itt apparently moro merit ,
In wneat than anything else , it's about the
onlv tiling trudo. I In that has not moved ma
terially and It ought to bo the nuxt hu 1 curd.
It is probable , however , iliac the apathy of
forulgnern will prevent any decided advance
for some tlmo In Iho ansunco of crop damage.
Corn and Oats There has been u continua
tion of dainngo reports from the corn bolt.
Some uro from olllclnl sources and others are of
such a character as lo leave llttlo roem to
doubt that the orop has susttilnstd much In
jury. The beat Information Is to thu uffujt
that In Homo Important sections" thu damage
has gone ho far that rain , even I' It
conies soon , will afford llttlo relief.
It looks ns If the market would
continue to advance , though general rains
would of course CHUSO u temporary rc-
iiotlon. Oats have bhown little strength inde
pendent of corn. I'rovlblons The market lias
advanced nu.to steadily most of the session.
Armour und Cudnhy huvo sold moder.itoly o
the Imrd Npols , Iho big shorts taking It , but
bulls have thu dual well In ham ) nnd It Is
generally believed the shorts will have to tuuo
till moro hitter dosei next week.

1'coplo living In tbo vicinity of the Bellevue -
vuo rlllc rnngo will In all probability tnko to
tholr cyclouo collars for n couple of tlnys
next wook. The Omaha Guards will bo
turned loose on tbo range Tuesday morning
and animate nature Inhabiting the land on nt
least thrco sides of the range will bo In great
peril during the fusiladc , which will continue
the greater part of the day.
All arrangements hnvo boon completed by
Colonel Hcnhnm to glvo the Omaha Guards a
day of known distance nnd skirmish tiring
on the Rovcrnmont rillo range. Captain
Coolldgc , commanding olllcor of the camp ,
will have lull charge of the day's ' shooting
and the guards will bo governed by the
sniuo rules nnd regulations ns Ihoso under
which the regular army marksmen nro gov
erned. In case the day is plcnsanl It Is alto
gether probable that'n largo number of
Omaha pcoplo will visit the range on Tuesday
to sco the guards shoot. The known distancb
firing will tnka place In the forenoon and tbo
skirmish tiring in the afternoon ,
Suuaiilhg of the rcmnrkablo record
tnado by Corporal K. N. Davidson of tlio
Sixteenth intantry Colonel Uonham said :
"I don't believe I have over soon n miirkn-
man who can como as no.tr shooting where
ho wants to as Corporal U.wldson. Ho puts
thought Into his work. 1 noticed * that ho
usually IIred but ono shot at the lonu'Osl
range und ns ho approached the silhouette ) ,
and parilcularly when ho reached the last
halting placo. about 200 yards irom
the largols , ho llrod with remark-
ublo * rapidity. Once or twice I saw
him 11 ro three shots at lor.g range nnd I
asked bun why ho did that instead of only
ilrlng once as usual. Ho replied that ho aid
not see where his first shot struoic the banlc
beyond the silhouette and ho llrod n second
and third time to IInil out how ho was nlm-
Ing. In thU way ho Reaps n close wiUcli
over his nerves and Ihon when ho gets at
close range ho pours the shot into the target
in u manner resembling n gaining gun. "
In conversation with a Bin : reporter Cor
poral Davidson said the other dixy that he
usually llrod ihlriv-two stints out of the forly
ot the recumbent llguro because a hit on that
IIeuro counted live , whereas a hit on tbo
kneeling tlgura counted 4 and on tbo stand
ing llguro only U. Davidson hit the rocum-
Uont Ilguru 2. " ) times out ofJ ; ) shots in three
successive runs. Ho has u peculiar way of
holding the gun which has given aim 'tho
nick-namo "Uunsllng" Davidson.
Mostoftho marksmen throw themselves
on their backs with their feet toward the
target in n supine position , throwing ono foot
through the btrnp or gun sling ' letting it
como tight around llio log just' below the
Unco. The outt of tbo gun is placed by the
side of the head , the loft hand passing under
nnd above tlio head grasping tlio gun IIrinly
to hold it HtenJy. Tim triggnr is usually
pulled by the thumb of the right hand. This
is called the "Toxns Grip. "
Corporal D.ivid.-ton takes llio same position
on ttio ground , bul ho crosses bin legs and
throws thorn both through the gun sling , letting
ting the rillo rest batwcon his knees like a
stick of wood in n sawouck. Ho Is remark
ably quick of movement and is usually ttio
first ican to shoot after making a halt at
short rango. Ho is a wiry , rawboncd mau of
medium height tvilh eyes llko an eagle's. To
his good cyosichl , sleady ncrvo , dexterity of
movement and natural genius for shooting is
duo bis supremacy as a marksman.

tliu I'umU ut Their Duponal.
The question of how to ulspoao of tbo pro
ceeds of the ( I50.0JO of road Improvement
bonds voted at the lute election Is agitating
thn members ot tbo Hoard of County Com
missioners. Tboy want to expand the money
this Kfcason , taut just now the question seems
to bo what roads should bo Improved ana
what material should bo used ,
Thcro are four roads that are prominent
candidates for u share of tbo money , Tnnso
thoroughfares are South Thirteenth street
to the now fort at Uollcvua ; Dodge
street , from tbo city limits west ;
Military uvonuo nnd some road lauding to the
north. Whether tn divide the money be
tween the four roads , or expend It all upon
one is something thut the commissioners
nave not fully comldoroJ ot this time.
Ills pretty well nettled thut tlio roadway
wlllnot exceed sixteen foot In width , with u
possibility tbul It may be reduced to twelve
feot-
The mo t serious question , however , that
confronts the couimlisionurs IB whut nmtoilul
will bo uicd. All ot the comniUuioiiorit ud-
mil that brick U tlio material , out It U ox-
penalvo and n sixteen foot roadway will cost
from fJO.lKX ) to S30.000 per uillo. At
tlieao prices , If tbo (150,000 was all expended
upon ono road , It would make only B small
showing. Tali ( act has led the commit-
ilooora to contempluto a cheaper material ,
If the brick could bo obtained In Ilia
vicinity of Oman a And did not cost mora
than & to $ T par I.OOJ delivered on th
work , they would all bo In fnvor
ot brick , but ns they nro not nnd will have to
como from points ns for nway as Lincoln or
Ileatrlco , they think Ibo freight will nmounl
to as much as the original cost of the brick.
In the sonrch for ohoap material they huva
hit upon slag , which can bo secured nt tha
smcltcr.whcro It will coil nothing except the
ot the crushing. The quantity is Unlimited
nnilttionmtorl.it la a composition of Iron ,
limestone nnd refuse.
Upon the question of slag , William Mulhall
has rendered th commissioners somt
valuable assUtnnco. For some tlmo ha
has tnado a itudy ot countrj
roads , nnd now figures that i
roadway twelve foot wlilo can oo laid with
smelter sing for not tooxcecd $3,000 pur mlle ,
Ills Idea is to grade out the bed nnd put IB
two to four Inches ot the coarse crushing ! ,
roll this thoroughly ana then put on trom
two to four Inches moro of tlio ilnor crush *
IngSj The crown should bo higher than tin
sides , and after the whole Is thoroughly
tamped and rolled , It will make a roadbed
that will shod water , nnd ns far as wear l
concerned will bo oqunl to a granite pavement
mont , so says Mr. Mulhall.

who died nt a fortune toller's housoon South.
Fifteenth street Friday morning ot perito
nitis. It was supposed that after Iho pee
girl's denlh and the arrangements for tho.
funeral hud been made the mutter would end
thoro. Uut It did not ,
Ilrlglr and early yesterday morning
Dotcctlvo Vnuglm appeared nt the morgue
und demanded of Coroner Maul that nn in
quest nnd post mortem bo hold upon the body
of the girl. Mr. Maul looked at thu sleuth a
moment and aikcd what relation ho was to
the dcnd girl and explained nt the same tlmo
that only near relatives or parents could pro
perly demand what hud been nskcd for. Then
the detective throw open Iho Jnpol of his
summer coat nnd exhibited n metropolitan
pollco star , and repeated his demand for nu
inquest or post mortem.
The coroner tried to toll the dotoctlvo that
thrco rcputnblo physicians besides hlmsolf
had thoroughly Investigated the mailer nnit
nil. were satisfied that the woman died a
natural death nnd from Iho cause given In
the physician's certificate. Consequently the
coroner declined to put the county to the ox-
pcnsu of nn inquest nnd post mortem ,
Still Vaughn hung around the morgue
where the friends of the poor girl wnro pre
paring for her funeral at 2 o'clock , and tried
to Instill Into tholr minds the theory of foul
play. This kind ot talk didn't , have muoh
