CHICAGO , April 23. Wheat fluctuated
frequently today within narrow limits nnd

feeling resullcd largely from the dry
wcalher. Corn , oals nnd provisions closed
with bul little change.
There were the same characteristics lethe

for California nnd ' , fcd higher for red wlnler.
The primary market recelpls were largely
In excess of the movement nt the corresponding
spending date of Iho year before and there
was no material change from the pre
viously prevailing dry weather conditions.
The market acled very nervously , wllh
frequent changes , over a range of about
fto per bu , The short sellers were for the
greater part of the forenoon on the defen
sive nnd tlie price during the grealcr part
ot Iho lime mnlntaned Itself above the level
of yesterday's closing quotnllons. The Cln-
clnnall 1'rlce Current rather leaned toward
the opinions that wheat In some sections

cated no general Immediate need of It. A few
light showers were discovered to have fallen
In southwestern Knnsas , and that was
made the basis of several attacks upon tlie
market by the bears. The Minneapolis and
Biilutlt receipts were IMi rnrs , against lul
a year ago. The total quantity received ut
the primary markets was 23VJOO bu. , com
pared with 171uoi ) bu. n year ago. Export

mary market receipts were 205,000 Jju. ,
ngalnsU 307,000 bu , on tlio corresponding
day of the year before. Some buylne by
elevator rcpresenlallves was supposed to
represent corresponding sales of cash corn
they had made. The opening price of July
was ISc. It sold as high ns JSUc and ns
low OHI7ie , and the latlcr price was bid
A fulrly'Vood business was Iransaelcd In
oats. The bulk of Ihe trading was done In
the way of exchanging from May to the
months of deferred deliveries. The hitler
were proportionately tinner than the near

nnd the others steady. May sold from .WTsc
to ISlic , advanced to 29'ie , fell oft to 28Vc
nnd closed at 28c. July ranged from a'.ic

There Wn Active Speculation In Securities
nnil Prices Inclined Upward ,
NEW YOIIK , April 23. There wns nctlvc spec-
ulntlon on the Stock exchange today , nml the
trend of prices was mainly upward , with the
result that In moat Instances yesterday's losses
In the general list were fully recoveied nnd In
the remaining cnse.i there was a partial rally ,
except In the coal share * , which hnve declined
an Additional fraction. The Improved tone of
speculation was largely iluo to the favorable
tenor of the March statements of carmilgs of
several lending railroads received this morning ,
At the opening , under heavy Belling of the coal
ers , Induced by the reported abandonment of the
peace negotiations , the market wns weak nnd a
decline ranging ujf to 2 per cent wan recorded ,
the latter In Delnwnre & Hudson , nnd 1 per
cent each In Delaware & Lackawnnnu nnd New
Jernoy Central. The depreciation ! ) in the rest
of the list were fractional. At the lower fig
ures .there wns some covering , nnd nl o pur
chase * for the Ions account , there being n gen-
einl feeling that It was safe to buy after a 10-
nctlon. Under this buying thn coat stocks re-
covoiud all the early losses during the inoinlng ,
wlille the' genetnl lift rallied from ' ,4 to U p r
I'-nit , nnd Tennessee I'oal preferred jumped 5
per cent to fco. During thenfleunun speculation
was Btrong thrnuRliout , with the low priced Is
sues the leading features of the dealings. Includ
ing Louisville , New Albany ft Chicago preferred ,
which was bought fiecly on tic : olllclnl announce
ment of the company's llna'iclul plans ,
Kansas & Texas common and preferred ,
Walxish preferred nnd the Southern Pa-
cllie shares. In the late trading the coal
slocks again gave wny , but only fractl nelly ,
tin ! general maiket closing strong , nnd , with tha
few exceptions named , at advances on the day's
trnnsnctlun * . The dealings In bonds tmlay fell
oft somewhat , but the sum total of the trading
wns of respectable proportion * , namuly , $2 4I2OJO ,
of which $352.000 was Texas Tactile seconds.
Speculation during the morning was lather er
ratic , but In the late session values generally
Miami upwaid.

CATTLE Today's receipts of cnttle were
he lightest of any day since Saturday of
nst week , only sevenleen loads being re
ported In the yards. There wcte not enough
catlle of nny one kind on sale to make a
market or establish prices. There were no
vestern ulcers on sale and only n few neut
ering loads of unlives. The few calllo here
vere picked up reasonably eaily nnd Ihe
yards deserted. The prices paid for sleers
nny have been a little stronger In Home
cases , but with so few entile here It would
inrdly bo worth the while to quote the
rndu nny higher. A loud of pretly good
,211-lb. nallves brought $ I.'J3 , while sN.55
nnd J1.C5 were paid lor two other loads.
The lighter callle wenl nt $1.005)4.25.
There were only nboul Ihree loads of
cows and heifers in the yards , made up ot

There wus nothing very good nmong the
ottering ! ! , .Everything wns sold enrly nt
steady to Stroiis' prices.
There were no atochera or feeders In the
yards to amount to anything. One load
sold at $3.40 , but the most of Ihe sales were
only pieces of loads , a few head lu a

MAY CALL ON SUPREME COURT
Jounljr Comtultiiloneri llndljr Tnuclcd t' ' | >
on the I'lntte Cnnnl Alnttfr.
It It not at all unlikely tlint the result of the
petition iircscntcd to the county commis
sioners asking them to call A special election
upon the bond proposition ( or the construction
of the I'latto canal will be a mandamus suit
brought In the supreme court. The commis
sioners hava been canvassing tlio subject for
about two weeks , having been In session as n
committee of the whole during much ot that
time , awaiting opinions from the county nt-
orncy , Judge Lake and J. \Yharton. . These
opinions arc no\v In the hands of the members
ot the committee. Hut they do not agree
In the construction of the canal law. Thn
commissioners are In tlie sumo predicament.
As already Indicated In The Dee , Judge
Lake takes the position that the canal law
Is unconstitutional. lie makes this reply
severally to a scries ot questions propounded
by lho commissioners , among the most Im
portant being , "Has the Judiciary the right
to make an appointment of canal trustees ? "
Jf there Is a conflict of law between the
clause designating the commissioners as the
guardians of the county property , and the
provisions ot tlio canal law , designating : a
board of trustees , which Is to have exclusive
control of the canal ?
Does the clause In the canal law relating
to the collection ot a tax provide for the pay
ment of the principal when It becomes due ?
The opinion of J. C. Wharton has been ren
dered and Is generally favorable to the canal
law. The opinion of the county attorney is
also favorable , tliough ho has reserved a de
cision upon a knotty point as to whether
or not the Judges Imvo the constitutional
right to make an appointment of commission
ers.
ers."This point as to the Judges' authority litho
the most serious objection , and I find law
leaning both ways , " snys Mr. Ilaldrlge. "I
am still engaged In considering this proposi
tion , t have inclined to the view that If the
Judges voluntarily made the appointment It
would ho good , but the question arises
whether the Judges could be mandnmused
to compel them to make the appointment
should they fall to do so. It seems douhlful
whether this could be done. It is my opinion
upon the question as to whether there Is a
conlllot between the laws , granting the com
missioners full control of county property ,
and this law creating a canal board that a
separate corporation Is thereby created and
so no conflict between the two laws In this
respect. Upon the matter of bonds a dispute
has also arisen as to what amount the county
can issue. I am inclined to the vlow that the
10 per cent limitation means that the county
cannot Issue In bonds an amount exceeding
10 per cent of the total assessment for tlio
county. In round numbers , placing the total
assessment nt $24,000,000 , this leaves the
county the right to Issue | 2,400,000 of bonds ,
less a present Indebtedness of say $950,000 ,
Including the poor farm bonds to bo Issued ,
or a right to Issue about $1,450,000. "
In addition to this , several minor questions
arise , the county attorney slates , tliough he
docs not lay much stress upon the difficulties
lliey present. lie believes that the law makes
It optional with the board In Issuing bonds
when the time comes as to whether they shall
be issued In series or not , so that each series ,
If this method of Issue is followed , could be
paid as It became due. The law Is deemed
somewhat vague , also , In regard to the terms
of the trustee , and docs not specifically des
ignate whether , at the expiration of his llve-
year term , the new appointee Is to hold for
the same term of years or not.
The county attorney In advising tlio board
has taken the position that the law Is manda
tory , provided it Is constitutional. The com
missioners are accordingly in.n somewhat
peculiar position and are now Bitting as a
court to determine whether or not the law
Is constitutional. It is certain that if they
should decide that the law Is unconstitutional
no time will bo lost before mandamus
proceedings are brought to test the case in
the courts.

The reason that the Brulcs wcro refused
Ihis year was due to the fact that they proved
too troublesome last year and there Is a bitter
enmity between the Brules and Ogalallas.
The applications to go on the road and get a
talary of $25 per month and a taste of clvlll-
zallon were pracllcally In the form of a mild
epidemic among the Sioux tills year. The
"professional" fever raged fiercely on tlio
reservation and ( hero was a grand rush to
tlio medical examiner's office to pass the
necessary physical examination when Mr.
Lk'dlard went to the reservation to recruit
tlio braves. Finally sevenly-two of them
were acceplcd and Ihe balance took It out In
disappointment.
Mr. Llddlard reporls Hie fact lhat among
tlio choice bits of current gossip around
Hushvillo Is the recent arrest of Hev. Collier
of the sand hill country for rustling cattle.
The reverend gentleman Is now In jail lo
await trial for "agitating" beef that did- not

SEPARATED BY A WOMAN

DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS WILL FOLLOW
Deputy City Trenmircr Tnkr * n I.lkluc ; for

Them I'ro\o Strong
toVr ck H Home.
The once happy life enjoyed by Mr. anJ
Mrs. Jerome Coulter at SI 9 North Forty-
second street has been . wrecked. Mr.
Coulter has letl his homo and taken his fur
niture with him.
Mr. Coulter Is the deputy treas
urer ot tlio city ot Omaha and
somewhat prominently Moulded with local
politics. Some months ago Iho differences
between himself and Mrs. Coulter became so
pronounced that ho Ictt Ills home nnd took
up lils residence nt Iho Hotel Ucllono ,
Mutual friends attempted to effect a recon
ciliation and partially succeeded. Mr.
Couller stated at Iho llmo llmt ho did not
care to return to his former homo neighbor
hood nnd to spare his feelings Mrs. Couttor
went to the hotel with him and there the
family lived for several weeks. The recon
ciliation was only temporary , however , and
Mrs. Coulter returned to her homo on Forly-
sccond street.
In the meantime Mr. Coulter acted upon
the assumption Hint the separation had been
final and agreed contribute . to the sup
port of his wife ono-lhlnl ot his salary ot
MM per month. Last mouth lie sent her
$15 , which Mrs. Coulter accepted. Some
thing over a week ago ho sent a furniture
van to the liouso with a written request to
his wlfo to send to him a bud room scl , a
couple of easy chalrx , the book case and a
number ot books. She compiled with the
request In part , refusing only to send a few
of the choicer books after she had been in
formed by the expressman that they weto
to bo stored In a warehouse , whcro she
feared tlioy would become destroyed by the
ravages of mice and moths.
Monday last Mr. Coulter went lo Ihe liouso
and removed the furniture , taking the piano ,
furnlluru , books , pictures , carpels and , In
fact , everylliliiB but the cook stove , the
kllchcit table , a few dishes , Ihe bed In Mrs.
Coulter's room and several old chairs.
M. ' . and Mrs. Coulter liavo been married
twcnty-lwo years anil have Ihrce sons , Iho
oldest 18 years of ngc , the next oldest 9 anil
the next youngest 0. Their trouble was
tlio result of an unfortunate entanglement
between Mr. Coulter and a woman named
Mrs. Welch.
When seen at her residence yesterday Mrs.
Coulter declined to make any statement for
publication. Slio simply remarked that anyone
ono could sco that her rooms wcro bare ot
furniture and she pvnnltlod any one who
called to draw his own conclusions , but she
admitted that her husband had removed the
gooda. She expressed tlio hope , too , that-
ho would yet return at least a portion of
the furniture to her , sufficient to make her
homu comfortable , and stated lhat she be
lieved that Mr. Coulter was disposed lo do
that much for her. She declined firmly
lo discuss Iho unpleasant events tiiat led
to the estrangement between herself and
her husband.
As for his part , Mr. Coulter , when
asked In regard to the matter , declined
to discuss It for the press. Ho did
admit , however , that ho had .aken the furni
ture , or at leasl Ihe principal parl of It , and
explained his action In the premises by ! sayIng -
Ing that ho had at llrst reqiicslcd his wlfo
for certain articles wllh which lo furnish his
rooms down town. These articles she sent
him only In part. Monday ho went to the
house and In the presence of witnesses asked
for the furniture ho desired. Mrs. Coulter
refused to lei anylhlng bo laken from lha
liouso. Ho informed her lhat under Iho law
ho had tlio right lo lake It all , but said that
ho only desired a few things. She persisted
In her refusal to allow him any parl of Iho
furniture , whereupon he removed the greater
part of it. He admlls that perhaps lie acted
a lltllo hastily and states that ho has agreed
to return her most of the furniture , and that
It will bo back at the residence as soon as
he is able to send It.
Papers for a legal separation were drawn up
and agreed to by both parties some lime ago.
