Weather Crop Reports Sflmalate
Fall a Wiater Bayta.
NEW YORK. AU. 31. Brad street' s to
morrow will say:
Bettter weather and definite assurances
of I urn' crop yields stimulate fall and win
ter buying, which is apparently at or close
to Its senlth. Most leadlna; markets report
buyers present In unprecedented numbers,
and the volume of August sales eiceeds
all records for that month, except at a few
points where weather conditions nave been
un propitious. Bales of dry goods, clothing,
shoes, leather, hardware and other Iron and
steel products and lumber are very large.
The fall shipping season Is also apparently
at Its height, shipping forces are working
overtime and the railroads are working
to their full capacity, with a car famine
predicted for the far distant future. A
smaller movement of winter wheat has
partly relieved the strain on the railroads
and made for a little more steadiness in
price of that cereal, which, however, has
sagged slightly, as the feeling grows that
spring, like winter wheat, will prove a large
crop. Reports from abroad are of better
than earlier anticipated wheat crops, which
seem likely to affect prices still further,
but It Is to be noted that export trade In
flour has Improved and exports tend to
expand. The crop situation otherwise Is
very promising. The promise of cooler
weather makes for Increased activity In
industry. The Iron and steel markets are
a little auleter, due mainly to scarcity of
supplies rather than to weakening of de
mand, which, as evidenced by advances in
pig iron, old material and some finished
lines, Is still very heavy..

ered from all parts of the state, very few

this locality, owing to the abunaant oppor
tunities offered for employment. ,
The proposition of taking thumb prints
of all enlisted men for the purpose ot Men-,
tlflcation Is not taken to kindly by the en
listed men of the army. They hold that
It at once places them in the category of
suspected criminals and hold that if It la
applicable to the army at all It should ap
ply to all ranks and not to the enlisted
men alone.
Eighteen recruits were secured for the
United States navy at the permanent re
crultmg station, this city, during the month
of August. Of this number eleven enlisted
as apprentice seamen, two as electricians

A remarkable epltah is on a .tombstone

, NEW YORK, Aug. Sl.-(SpeclaJ Tele
gram.) The first arrangements were made
this morning for the departure of the spe
cial train carrying the Nebraskans, Mr.
Bryan and a number of other distinguished
democrats home.
! "Home folks' " train, with the "Peerless
Leader;" Norman Mack of Buffalo, Dan
Campau of Detroit and Harry Walter on
board, will leave Jersey City at 5 o'clock
Sunday, September 2, and will arrive in
Detroit Monday noon. It will leave there
at U:S0 Monday night, arriving in Chicago
Tuesday morning, where the day will . be
spent. After the reception of Mr. Bryan
Tuesday evening the train will leave Cht
cago at 11 : p. m., via the Great Western,
arriving In Omaha at 2:30 o'clock Wednes
day. :
! At an early hour this morning Major Jim
Dahlman, Dave O'Brien and a number of
other cltlsens of Nebraska became involved
In an altercation with an officious police
man, who attempted to move Bryan's home
folks from the sidewalk in front of their
headquarters at the Victoria hotel.
'. After the reception to Bryan and an out
door meeting, which was addressed by
"Mayor Jim," he and two friends went
into Spankley's for midnight luncheon. Jim
had hl lariat with him, which he used to
demonstrate to the big crowd in Madison
square how he had lassoed Nebraska's
great commoner, and taking the lariat . as
a homely illustration of the holding power
of Bryan on the people.
Policeman Catches O'Brien.
After luncheon "Mayor Jim" and his
friends "bunched up" with a number of
other neighbors In front of the Victoria to
talk over the events of the night. A little
newsboy came along, and, spying the lariat
hanging on Dahlman's arm, he said he bet
Jim could not lasso him. The boy had the
words hardly out of his mouth when
'Mayor Jim" made a throw, catching the
youngster around the leg. This was sure
enough sport for the denlsens of the dis
trict. Edging away from the crowd, which
had collected by this time, the boy again
challenged "Mayor Jim" to rope him and
he, nothing loath, sent the lariat hurling
through the air, the loop falling over the
boy's shoulders. .
On seeing the crowd and realizing that
he was expected to do something, the po
Uceman.on duty at the Victoria, in an ex
ceedingly rough manner, told the Ne
braskans that they would have to "move
on," taking Dave O'Brien by the arm to

Origin of the Postage Stamp.
Quite recently there has been more or
less discussion as to the origin of the post
age stamp., v
Perhaps tia most authentic story is that
which comes from the Postofflca depart
ment at Washington,
. It appears that about sixty-five years ago
Rowland Hill was traveling through one of
the northern districts of England and for
a time was sojourning at an Inn, where the
postman came with a letter for a young
daughter of the Innkeeper. The young
miss turned the letter over and over in
her hand ' and ' after examining; . the en
velope minutely lnouired Jhe price of the
postage, which was a shilling. She sighed
sadly and returned the letter to the post
man, saying that It was from her brother,
but that ahe had no money. -
Mr. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. He paid the postage
and his action seemed to embarrass the
girl. When the postman - had gone ahe
stated to Mr. Hill that some signs marked
on the envelope conveyed ' to her all she
wanted to know and that as a fact there
was no writing inclosed. In extenuation
she said that she and her brother had con
trived a code system of communicating, as
neither of them were able to pay post
charges.
Mr. Hill thought of the results of a sys
tem which made such frauds possible. Be
fore another day he had planned a postal
system upon the present basis. Harper's
