hat a man answering the description of

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.

were going splendidly when the storm broke

Valley.
The trail, which the officers who are out

Wlndnp of Frontier Festivities.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 30-(Sperlal.)-The
streets of this city resemble the trail
of a tornado, so littered are they with
debris. The final scene of the wild west
carnival was a raid by the cowboys on the
booths lining the thoroughfares In the busi
ness district and when the wild crowd had
passed not one of the frail structures was
standing. Lunch stands taken by storm
contained large quantities of ammunition
In the form of doughnuts and rolls, and
these were utilized In a bombardment which
temporarily disfigured the fronts of busi
ness structures. Estimates of tho amount
of money left In the city by the Frontier
crowds range from $300,000 to $"i0,ne0.

a Larsre ember and Proves to
Be Most Entertaining
ASalr.
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. This hns been jrreatly
needed In the beef house. As soon as these
operations are completed Improvements will
be undertaken In the hop house, where the
demands have been as great for repairs as
in the other departments. The company
has done little toward erecting any com
plete buildings during the last year. A
small addition was made to the office. .
Knife and Pitcher as Weapons.
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. They had
little to say of the trouble, except that they
were good friends ordinarily and would be
again. Thomas said If be ever got out of
Jail he would surely leave town, as he had
had nothing but trouble since he arrived
here. They were fined for disturbing tho
peace yesterday afternoon.

COUNTY LEVY IS REDUCED
Twelve aad Fear-Teaths Mills la the
Rate Filed Gives Asapla
Fnnds for Kaods.
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

Totals 124 $396,168.64
If the proposed reduction Is made the
mill levy will be the lowest for at least a
dozen years. The mill levies since 189S
hsve been as follows: 183S, 18.7; 1896, 14;
1897, 16.7; 1898, 16.7; 1899, 18.9; 1900, 17.2;

The levy will not be made until after
the report of the State Board of Equalisa
tion is received, which will be about
August 6.

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

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.

Early Unsettled Conditions Are Fol

RECOVERY LATER EJ THE DAT
Market Sensitive to Conditions la

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. Total sales, par
