Although the desperado who shot Police Officer Wilson and Richardson laat Bun Cay night la still at large there was strong hopes laat night of aome of the posses jelng able to overtake the fugitive today, .'eaterday afternoon word via received hat a man answering the description of he fugitive had applied at the farm house f K. E. J on en, a few mllea east of Mls ourl Valley, late Monday night for iodic hlng to eat. The fact that the rural elephone wirea were not working well fondajr night and early Tuesday wae esprmslble for the delay In the Information aachlng the local authorities. The report as shortly followed by another from De active Weir, who had been to the place nd found that the footprints of the it ranger who had been to the Jones place corresponded with those found in and about Crescent and the corn fields where the posses searched Monday. At once on receiving the report from De tective Weir, Sheriff Canning decided to go v t the place and try the bloodhounds again. JVomas Metcalf placed his automobile gain-at the disposal of the officers and at i o'clock last evening Sheriff Canning, Dep ity Sheriff McAffery and the man In charge f the dogs started for Jones' place near tlssourl Valley in Mr. Metcalf's automo bile. Word later showed that they reached 'lere about 7:30 o'clock and that the hounds t once took the trail In fine shape and were going splendidly when the storm broke i nd causod the party to return to Missouri Valley. The trail, which the officers who are out ' elleve the best struck yet, led east 'from le Jones farm towards Boebetown, and he members of the posse learned from farmers In that neighborhood that a man answering the description of the desperado I ad been seen making his way east through ( ornflelda and along ditches, evidently nnxlotis to avoid meeting any one or being i seen. Scouring- Entire Country. Returning to Missouri Valley last night. members of the posse under Sheriff Can- ilng scattered to the adjoining towns, Woodbine, Logan and other places from where they, with augmented forces uftor night's rest which they badly needed, vlll start early this morning to surround be entire territory, all meeting at a com- non center. If a trail Is struck tho 'loundo will again be brought into ser vice. I-ate Monday night, or, more correctly peaking, early Tuesday morning, De- 'ectlve Weir and Deputy Sheriff Woolman, who were at Missouri Valley with Police i fflcers Gallagher and Steinhofel, were nformed that a man supposed to bo the lugltlve was making towards Noble's lake. The officers at onoa secured a fresh i r-,n nd started for the lake, only to find 1 elthat they had probably been on a wild 'goose chase. f 1 T -1.

The sanitary Improvements which have been under way at the Cudahy packing plant for several months are approaching completion. The largest undertaking was the construction of cement floors for the first and second stories of the beef house. These are practically finished and represent an Immense amount of work. The result Is a floor which In every way meets the requirements of the government regula tions. Aside from the flooring, the compsny Is working on the roof, putting In a system of overhead lighting.

Robert Borders and Charles Thomas, both colored, got Into a wrangle Monday night, which led to blows. Thomas seised a glass pitcher and used it as a weapon. He broke It over Border's head and the sharp edges of the glass cut long gashes In the scalp. Borders then drew a Jacknife and made a lunge at Thomas, striking him In the back. A gash three Inches long and an Inch deep through the heavy muscles of the back was the result. Both men were arrested and token to the city Jail, where the police surgeon sewed up their wounds.

Ths next levy for Douglas county will In all probability be U. mills, a reduction of 3 mills below last year. Members of ths county board who have been figuring It up declare this will raise sufficient money for the needs of the county without making it necessary to overdraw any of the funds. The reduction of I mills In the levy will amount to a decrease of S7S.t0.BS In the revenue raised, tsklng as a basis the valua tion Igures as they left the County Board of Equalltatlon. But In spite of this de crease the commissioners say the county ran get along and pay all Its bills. They assert the reduction will not cause a defi cit which will hsve ti be made up next year, but the amount raised will be suf ficient to meet the needs of the county. The proposed reduction will come entirely on the road and bridge funds, both of which have neat balances In them now. it Is the Intention to reduce the mill levy for the road fund from 14 to 1.8. which will cut the revenue from 142,000 to $77,000, but It Is claimed the fund ran stand this cut as It has a balance of over tlO.OOO In It now and the amount available will be more than enough to prosecute the necessary work. The greatest slice Is In the bridge fund, the proposed reduction being from IB mills to .4 mills, representing a decrease In the revenue to be raised from $75,000 to $12,000. This Is declared to be poMH' because the fund now has a balance of about $50,000 In it. In the other funds the amount produced will be Increased as the mill levy remains the same and the valuation has been In creased. The following table compiled by Solomon and I're compares the levy and funds raised last year with the proposed levy: Mill Tvy Amount Fund 1004. Produced.

PROTEST AGAINST THE FINES Railroads aad Government Clash Over Mall Regain tlana. CHICAGO, July 30 Western railroads ars near an open break with the FostoflVs de partment over the transportation of the ! malls owing to a number of recent orders. The latest cause of grievance Is the Impost lion of heavy fines on nearly all the roads for delay In delivering the malls. To con sider the situation, a number of railroad officials had an Important conference here yesterday. One official declared that the fines levied by the government against his road In one quarter amounted to $40,000. A similar condition on other roads was re ported. The fines were assessed under a rule which went Into effect In July, 16. The roads are am axed to find that they are In danger of losing 16 per rent of their mail pay unless they revise schedules and plaoe their mall trains upon running time which they know they csn maintain In all sea sons and in all kinds of weather. The new rule, the roads, claim, Is op pressive and unjust. It provides t! at If the malls are late ten times on any route during a period of ninety days the road ' shall be assessed 15 per cent of the pay of I that route for the quarter. Under the speed standards as now established operating men I declare It would be a marvel for almost any of the big western systems to escape hav ing their Important mall trains late more than ten times In ninety days. "Six or eight months ago the govern ment started to follow up the mail trans portation question much more closely than It had been doing," said General Superin tendent Park of the Union Pacific, "but I know of nothing new at this time and If aome of the roads have been fined any such amounts as the dispatches indicate It Is not our road. Since June 9, when the schedules for passenger trains wers made slower we have been able to make (he time on our mail trains. Sometimes they come to us late from the west and we are not able to make up all the time lost on the schedule, but we are able to put them over the Union Pacific In the alloted time. "We have a superintendent of malls for the Harrlman system at Chicago who looks after the handling of all the malls, but I have heard of no complaint." EARNINGS OF STEEL COMBINE Net Receipts for the Past Quarter Nearly Forty-Six Million Dollars. NEW TORK, July 30.-A11 records of the United States Steel corporation In the man ufacture Of steel were shown to have been broken when the company's report for the quarter ending June 30, 1907, was made pub lic after a meeting of the board of di rectors. The report shows that the com pany's total net earnings for the spring quarter were $45,703,545, a high water mark record for any single quarter In the com pany's history. The record breaking total Is an Increase of $5,378,672 over the corre sponding quarter last year. The amount of unfilled business on hand on June 30 last was 7,600,878 tons, an Increase of 794.289 tons over last year. The directors said the amount of unfilled business on the books was a barometric Indication of steel making business. Ths statement also shows that $18)600,000 was set aside after all charges, Interest and dividends were paid for new plants, additional property and construction. This Is an Increase of $fi,500,000 as compared with the appropriation for the same purpose for June 30, 1906. ' The total of the company's quarterly earnings of $45,603,705 exceed the highest earnings for any previous quarter by $3,756,741. The balance of surplus for the quarter, after all charges, Is $3,497,080, a decrease of $1,744,026 as compared wlfh the same quarter j last year. The decrease In the balance of surplus Is caused by the extraordinary outlay from the earnings for new construc tion and Improvements. The directors declared the regular quar terly dividend of l per cent on the pre ferred stock and the regular quarterly divi dend of one-half of 1 per cent on the com mon. NAVIGATION AWAITS TRIAL Omaha Rtver Promoters Want to See How Kansas City Comes Out. "We are watting to see the o itcome of the experiment at Kansas City," said Charles H. Pickens, president of the Mis souri River Navigation company, when asked whether the company would put a freight boat on the river this year. "Kansas City has bought two boata and put them on the river to run between the Kaw and St. Louis, an experiment having previously been made with a rented boat. Whether the project falls or wins, Omaha will profit by Kansas City's experience. Ths company Is organised, has raised 110. 000 and Is watching with Interest the ex periment down the river. " One man who Is interested In river trans portation said Omaha lost a golden oppor tunity when the Omaha was allowed to come up the river from Kansas City and return again without a cargo. As It was making the trip anyway. It would have been a cheap experiment for the Omaha merchants to give It a cargo, he said.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS Early Unsettled Conditions Are Fol lowed by Period of Quietness. RECOVERY LATER EJ THE DAT Market Sensitive to Conditions la London and Closely Follows Con ditions There Call Money le Higher. N NEW TORK. July 80.-The stock rnarkst re today had a period of unsettlement the early dealings, followed by quieter here in 1 1 conditions and some recovery, this was In consonance with the course of events in Iondon, to which this market naa o""' peculiarly sensitive by reason of the de velopments at that center yesterday, be fore ths recovery there set In British con sols had extended the low record touched yesterday by selling as low as 824i. There was some further disorder In Copper se curities abroad also because of the ad ditional decline In the price of the metal there. When conditions steadied In lin den It was accepted as the passing of kind of crisis and sentiment correspond ingly Improved. The completion of preparations for the, stock market fortnightly settlement In Lon don, for which tomorrow Is the paydayv aas given the responsibility for the situa tion In Ixindon. Monj- rates had a sharp advance there bv reason of these prepara tions. Money on call In New Tork also was appreciably higher. Paris Is about to complete a stock market settlement as well. Between the Influences of these vari ous factors the question of the continuance of the gold export movement was sus pended. Rising money rates here invited some offerings of finance bills In the for eign exchange market and this helped to curb the advancing tendency of prices there. The weekly bulletin of the westher bureau on the crops reported conditions In some sections that were unfavorable, but the Immediate action of the grain mar kets today deprived the showing of In fluence on stocks. Some of the buying of stocks was for London account and marked the covering of shorts for that account. Indon also reported s ome buying of Amer icans there for continental account, espe cially Kansas A Texas, which was one of the features of slrength. There was no disposition to operate In anticipation of the United States Steel dividend meeting, as It was known that the directors would not go into session until the hour for clos ing the exchange. The supposition that there would be any change In the dividend rate had been quite definitely abandoned. Principal interest centered in the amount of unfilled orders on hand which, at 7.603,878 tons, show a falling on of ahont 4AO.ono tons from the amount on hand three months earlier, a rate of recession not unusual for the second quarter of the year. The specu lative anticipation of record earnings for the quarter, as high as $44,000,000, compares with the actual showing of $46,503,07, a greater Increase than expected. Ronds were Irregular.
