-i-' OMAHA. July It, 190.
Tfcer are two distinct gram stories to
day, the general buiusn uierael ana the
local yarn. A (or th latter, tti.r prom
4 to b a aoqiKl before U.e and of th
. (bonth and on of eensatlunsl cuaracier.
Chile prior want to hlner cioainss than
yaaterday auall outsldo markets, esisoalailr
in July wnfat, that (rain weakened al
Omaha and cload with offering's at Klc
with no buyers In slant. July opened at
4o bid, but when Van born, who U sup
posed to be in on a great part of tha local
Bhortase, began to sell more wheat In the
July option the value weakened ana moid
off a cent lower.
It appears that tha Van IJorn-flldney
Smith combination, which la said to repre
sent the majority of tha local shortage, has
card In the aiaave that la worrying tha
life out of holder. Smith, who, as stated
yesterday, baa been selling at Omaha
through Van iUorn for the Kenny concern
of Kansas City, Is now out In tha atata
endeavoring to secure wheat for July de
livery undr his contracts. 1
A dispatch from bmlth to Van Dorn 'this
morning says:
"There will be very Httla threshing done
this month. From Lincoln to Holdreg tn
wheat In shook Is very touch, 1 vlaltud
trill thla afternoon near riaatlngs and
they will test about fifty-five bushels, I
hould Judge."
It has been frequently said of lata that
on professional manipulation values at
Omaha are away above reason and It la no
urprlaa at all that tha aborts have been
working under oqver to make good their
July contracts Kit her they are running
a vary strong; bluff on July stuff or they
have secured themselves In a way that
solders know nothing of. ,.
For a Saturday close today's market quit
With price unusually strong at all outside
markets. A prospect of rain In the south
west over Sunday coupled with further
damage reports from tha wheat belt lent
today's market strength of a lasting sort
and prices were firm In all lines. Corn was
ymvathetlc with wheat and doaed above
yesterday's figure. .
A private advlao from Chicago today,
tha most bullish yet received, said:
Kansas, according- to a T opeka dlspatth.
U confronted with a failure of Its crop.
Tha great majority of nelda will not pro
duce a bushel of corn and many are so
badly Injured by tha late floods and rains
that they will not be worth cutting for
fodder. Governor Bailey, who has 400 acres
In corn, baa abandoned It. Additional re
port show tho worat wa ndt known when
Secretary Coburn made his report a few
days ago. The farmers cannot save mora
than 40,u00.000 bushels of wheat.
"Tha Kansas state report aays the corn
crop has s uttered In every section of tha
ataU and that tha aggregate corn vleld
will bo far below that of favot seasons.
Tho report does not give tWa per cant of
loss, but says tha bottom fields are under
water and the uplands full of weeds."

Up the few fteera reaUlly at satisfactory

no test of the market could be considered.
A load of fat heifers fetched 14. 66, a price
fully as hlgir as ha been received of late
for similar grades. Ordinary grades of cow
and heifers were nominally steady at cur
rent quotations.
The feeder division presented a quiet ap
pearance. There were no fresh arrivals and

AMBITIOUS TO BE A KING
Strang Career of tho Big Cobaa Who
Accompanied the Missing; Koat
J. Loomla
His ambition to become the ruler of
Abyssinia 1 declared by Intimate friend
of William H. Ellis to have been the movi
lng factor in hi life alnc he cam to thla
city, eight year ago. Hla departure for
Africa,' carrying with him the treaty of
amity and friendship between thla country
and Kink Menellk's kingdom Is said to be
a tremendous step toward his goal, how
ever remote it may seem to less ambitious
persons. '
Ellis is described a a man having un
bounded confidence in himself and In his
ability to accomplish whatever he set his
mind upon. With many of hla friends he
haa made no cret of hi desire to become
the king of Abyssinia, and he laid only
recently that within two years he expected
to have command of 1150,000,000 and the r.
source of tho richest country In Ethiopia.
"The Man Who Would Be King," of
whom Kipling wrote wa no less Inter
esting and picturesque a character than
thla broker and promoter, who has aald ha
1 a Cuban and who haa told many of hi
friend that h wa born In Mexico, where
hla father la stlU living. He I big and
strong, and poworVul in body as he is mas
terful In mind. He obtained such an in
fluence over the widow of Hiram Hotch
klss, an Inventor, that he managed th
vast estate with a profit of 1500,000. As
president of the New York and West
dhestsr Water company he made another
fortuoe.
Ellis has had the praying habit since ho
wa t year old. He ha said that he can
remember his first prayer at the ago of 2,
When ho implored the Almighty to suggent
a way to him by which he could raise him
self in life. When Tie waa 16 years old bs
wa a cowboy in Texas, and ha thus de
scribed hi first big. venture, which Muh
tratcq his daring and his courage in attack
ing and overcoming obstacles which to
other would seem Insurmountable:
"I wa tiding in the desert," he ald,
"and when night came I picketed my horse
and scooped out a hole in tho ground about
a foot deep In whloh to sleep. It i cooler
that way. I placed my blanket in the hole
and lay down. After a while It seemed tu
be growing colder and I put out my hand
and found that water wa oozing through
th earth. I lay on my back ther . for
hour with my blanket underneath my
head gazing up at the stars and praying
to God that ha would let me And a way
to build a city and a canal there. I was
th only roan in tho world who knew ther
wa water there."
' In two years th city was built. Ellis
went to Mexico and Interested some small
capitalists. H had no money of hi own
except his month's wage as "cow
puncher," He then went to Ban Francisco
and took too Chinese down to work in th
desert H enlisted several hundred negroes
to go from Mexico, each contributing 1500
to the venture and putting In hi labor,
also. He Anally got a leather manufactory
to looat in hi new olty,
II wa Just about to realise handsomely
on hi venture whon a Spaniard arrived
who wa even shrewder than Ellis. Th
Spaniard a'.owly but surely undermined him
after getting hi oonlldenc until at last
he had every bit of Ellis' holding and
contrgrya in hla own possession.
Ellis spent some yeara In San Antonio,
where b mixed In politic nd did a bank
ing and promoting business, engaging In
many colonisation schemes, th nag roe be
ing easily Influenced by hi eloquent
toiigu and always furnishing him a ready
cllentol. Jt wa here h met a woman
Inger of som note, now in Lo Angeles,
and tha two for a long time lived In tbe
hop of obtaining backing for an operatle
venture. They wer to produoe "Othello,"
B'.ll to play th Moor and th singer Dei
demon. , (
In his sultta of ffloe at No. 24 Wall
street, Ellis conducts the America. Mexico.
West Indie and Porto Rican company,
with a capital of tsoo.ooo, a on of many
enterprises, but fur eight year h has sub
ordinated every other of hi many interest
to hi Abyssinian ambition.
II ha read every line ever written
about the country and It king. Ha ha
studied tha language and made himself
familiar with U tho conditions and tbe
history pf th cduntry. When King Metie
llk went to London to attend a British
royal function Ellis went abroad and waa
given an audience with the monarch. He
returned full of stories of Mencllk arid of
enthusiasm over hi ucca In gaining the
monarch's favor.
H wanted to obtain a concession for
establishing an American bank In Abys
sinia, he said. He took with him Av
trunk A'Jed with praaent for th king
and queen. One of these presents was a
revolver with d mother of pearl handle,
gold mounting and an Immena solitaire
diamond If) th butt Thl revolver, which
he showed to several friend before hi de
parture, cost Bill 13.000. It delighted the
king, he announced upon his return.
Ellis is lavish In his expenditure on him
self and his family. He wear jewelry
worth 120,000 oonstantly, his Anger being
covered with ring and his clothes of the
moat fashionable and expensive sort. Whan
ha make Ms frequnt tripe to Mcxtoo,
where It is skid he ha wea'thy capitalists
back of him for hi Abyssinian venture
hand other enterprises, h travel alone in
an entire sleeping car. Those who know
of this habit of hl commented yesterday
on the fact that h and Mr, Loo mis eh 1 red
fhe tame stateroom on the steamer. New

brands in tho .state capltol at Bismarck.
When Mr. Roosevelt sold his ranehaa he

Roosevelt had two ranches in the Bad
Lands of Dakota. On was eight mile up
the Little Missouri . river from Medora.
This was known as the Chimney Butt
ranch, but the cowboys called It th Mal
tese cross ranch, because all Its cattle were
branded with th cross. Thirty miles down
the river from Medora was th Elkhorn
ranch, also owned by Mr. Roosevelt. There
wer flne building on tho Elkhorn, but th

ney Butt, although the house was only a
one-story affair of lag, with three room, a
kitchen, a living room and a room for th
owner and his ranch manager. Sylvan
Ferris, who, with his brother, now own
the Roosevelt land. Kansas City Star.
