Fresh liquidation on a large scale in the corn market today led to sharp new breaka in prlcea. Perfect weather and the bearish sentiment engendered by the war news were the chief factors. Liberal receipts counted also against the bulls. Opening prices ranged from ?o off to He advance, with August $1.52 to $1.61 and September $1.63 to $1.63 were followed by a moderate upturn, and then decided set backs all around. Oats dropped with corn. Trade, however, was mostly of a local character. After open ing unchanged to cent higher, with Aug ust 70 to 71c the market hardened a lit tle and then underwent a material sag. Higher prices on hogs gave firmness to provisions.

Sheep There were only 250 sheep re ported In today, they going direct to the packers. The supply for the week has been 31.406 head. Light receipts hss been the .controlling factor in the market here this week, enabling sellers to hold prices up rair ly well considering the markets elsewhere. The close of the week finds lambs both native and western from ateady to a trifle weaker than the close last week. On all other kinds the market haa advanced around 25060c, the greatest strength being on ewes. There have not been many feeder lambs ar riving here of lata but with quite a large supply of orders on hands the commission men could absorb a fair supply, ii snouia be realized the strength here is largely due to the light receipts.

He. had been an errand boy with a London firm, and because he was dismissed from his employment on suspicion of theft, he attempted suicide. ' For this he was charged at the Guildhall yesterday, and it was then that the astonishing facts of his career came out. At the age of 13, Harris was, the police said, a confirmed wanderer. With the proceeds of a theft from a woman in the West end, he went to Folkestone. This was at the begin ning of the war, and the boy tried to enlist. Nothing daunted, he borrowed money and went to Flushing, after wards making his way to Antwerp, where he arrived just as it had been captured by the Germans. An enemy officer, learning his age, released him, and he came back to this country with some refugees. 1 Arrived once more at Folkestone, Harris was arrested for the theft he had committed in London, and was sent to Mount Edgcumbe Industrial school. When his time had expired, he came back to London, put on naval uniform, and engaged in recruiting work with Sergeant O'Leary of the Irish guards, who was then a popular figure on account of his exploits in the early stages of the war. As a speaker in Hyde Park, Harris was said to have made a great im pression and to have been successful in obtaining many recruits. His ora tory so pleased a number of titled women that they sent him gifts and letters of praise. A remand was ordered and Mr. Robert Brymer, leader of the Maryle bone Junior brotherhood, said he would help the lad after he had got over the present trouble. ; The most extraordinary lad he had ever come across, with an excitable temperament bordering on hysteria, was the de scription by Mr. Phillips, the proba tion officer. London Chronicle. Dear, Dear, Mexican Fleas Must Now Go Unclothed Sad news comes from Mexico. Dressing fleas for market is no longer a profitable business, and the little insects have disappeared from ' the showcases of curio stores. Dressed fleas were long a staple article in the stores and shops in Mexico. In little boxes no bigger than the blunt end of a lead pencil these adorned fleas could be seen through reading classes in all the glory of their wedding or christening finery. Mexican women toiled for days dressing the diminutive insects, using the point of a needle to attach the bits of bright cloth and lace to the bodies of the wee pests. Through a microscope the dressed fleas ap peared as miniature persons, with hats, dresses and suits covering their uny lorms. When the United States trovern ment limited passoorts to oersons on necessary business the tourist travel to Mexico ceased, and automatically so did the demand for dressed fleas. Jumping Mexican beans, another offering of the curio stores, have ceased to be sold for the same reason. Hundreds of these little, wormy beans were sold to travelers from the United Mates. Drawn work, ootterv. hand carved canes, mantillas and Mexican confec tions are rapidly disappearing from the shops, and many of 'these curio stores have closed their doors since the tourist embargo bacame effective New York Herald.

These concerns, represented by overzealou agents who realize 25 to 40 per cent com mission on all stock sales, are either unincorporated or are not comply' ing with the provisions of the blue sky law. An unincorporated stock company is not. under state supervi sion, nor subject to state visitation In these instances the investor is of fered no protection by thtv state of Texas. It should be sufficient warn ing to the prospective investor" that it is necessary to demand whether the corncern is unincorporated and whether it is operating in compliance with the blue ley law, "There are many reasons why the people should not invest in these projects. The federal government is utilizing to its maximum efficiency both labor and capital, consequently particular care should be taken by the prospective investor to see that the project is in line with and has the approval of our government. Con ceding the legitimacy of the enter prise and approval of its purpose by governmental authorities, care should then be taken by the prospective in vestor to see that the enterprise is not in competition with similar proj ects which are being maintained by the government or under its super vision. Irrespective of the inherent merit of the enterprise and its ulti mate benefit to our country, the util ization of essential elements of in dustry in a business which parallels the plans of our war boards com petes with the government by di minishing the supply of labor and cap ital. In other words, see that the federal authorities and those in charge of our war operation desire that private capital and labor be thus employed rather than that the facili ties already furnished by the govern ment be utilized. Our citizens for the sake of profit to themselves should not make investments which will .deprive them of the privilege provided and the duty imposed to invest in Liberty bonds and in other government securities. From a pa triotic standpoint we have no right to invest in private enterprises to the exclusion of the performance of our patriotic duty."

CHINESE BRIGANDS IN SPECIAL CENSUS Activities of Bandits Reveal Presence of Daring Bands in All Parts of the Republic. Correspondence ot Associated Press. Washington D. C July 20. Fol lowing the recent capture of three American engineers by bandits in China, a census of Chinese outlaws has been made, showing that in five provinces there are a total of 37,000 brigands. This total does not include the bandits of Mongolia, who are very numerous and have been ex tremely active this year, nor does it include those of Hpnan, where the Americans were taken prisoners. Shantung leads the five Chinese provinces in outlaw population, hav ing 19,000. Shensi has 7.000, Anhewi 5.000, Hunan 3,000 and Fukien 3,000. The largest single band is in Stantung. under the leadership of Fan Yu-lin, who rules a veritable principality in habited by 7,000 persons. Yu Shan hei, whose followers ..umber 6,000, is the chief rival of Fan Yu-lin. The daring of the brigands In Shan tung recently became so open that the tuchun of the province, Chang Huai chin, asked permission to resign his command as leader of the army against the disaffected southern prov inces, and return to his own state to restore order. Many of the bandits are believed to be disbanded soldiers from Chang Hsun, who endeavored to restore the monarchy, but was de feated and took refuge in the Dutch legation at Peking. The Shantung bandits not long ago abducted three American mission aries and an American employe of the Rritish-American tobacco company, but let them go after a brief captiv ity. G. A. Kyle, of Portland, Ore., and the two other engineers captured in Honan were not so fortunate, how ever. Besides losing all their person al property and $12,000 they were carrying to pay off workmen employ ed on a new railroad, they were kept many days, enduring the hardships of long marches and wretched surround ings.

POTASH TO STOCKHOLDERS OF THE STAND ARD POTASH COMPANY, who have not investigated the affairs of the Company, and to the pnblie in general, the following Information to for your benefit I The Standard Potash Company was In corporated to take over lease secured on KD.OOa seres of deeded land, adjoining the town of Lakeside, Neb. On this land there are located from SS to 40 lakes, the majority of them showing by analysis that they are very valuable potash lakes. The lesse secured and ownsd by the Standard Potash Company now runs for iO years, and not only ineludss the min eral right on potash, but any miners? righti or oil that might in the future be found on the land covered by this lease A few lakes which havs been thoroughly tested, and which lay very elose to the plant, now being erected at Lskeslde, esrry enough potash to oper sts the plsnt for number of years, if the bsisnee of the lakes were not touched. The Company has very valuable aasst In holding this lease. The numerous buildings which were necessary as a preliminary to ths erection of the main flint, constating of cottages for Superi ntendent, Foremen. Etc., bunk houses for labor employed In erecting the plant, machine shops, power house, blacksmith shop, stables, storehouses and other small buildings numbering so far SO, are all completed and in use. The main plant is now Bearing eompletion, all ma terial being on the grounds boilers, evaporators and driers being erected, the concrete foundation for all this heavy equipment is in and arranged for an extra S 0-ton unit which will be started immediately on the eompletion of the tint (0-ton unit. The construction ot thts plant Is un der the supervision of Mr. Milton Krsemer, who is acting aa Consulting Engineer and General Manager of Con. structlon. Mr. Milton Kraemer haa na tional reputation ae an erecting engi neer for large plants, having been em ployed, before taking hold of the Stand ard Potash Company's plant, with an other Urge potash company in that sec tion. He haa also had a large experi ence In the potash industry in Califor nia, as well as other lines, consequent ly the Standard Potash Company It to be congratulated on securing the serv ices of aa reputable and careful a man ae Mr. Kraemer. Mr. Kraemer reports that with no unforeseen obstacles that ha expects to have the mill In operation net later than October 1. -. In connection with this plant we wish to adviae that the heart of n potash plant eonsista ot its boiler power. The Standard Potash Company waa fortunate In securing four large 4S0-H. P Babeock A' Wilcox boilers, with stoker connec tions, and everything complete. This boiler contract was taken over bv the Standard Potash Company on contract made with a Tennessee rower Company, who contracted for these boilers previous to the war. If it hsd not been that the company waa fortunate enough to accuse this, it would have been impossible to ob tain boiler power for the company, owing to nil steel works being now controlled by the government Thts is really the best boiler plant In that section of the country, and as the boilers are all new and being erected under the supervision ot the manufacturers, The Standard Po(& ash Company expaot to havs a real show place in the holler room. AU other ma terial, evaporators, driers, etc., are all now made especially for the company and are now on the ground. People who have expected to start potash Industries recently know what this means to have equipment on hsnd, as it is almost impossible to obtain any thing in that line now. The construction work Is now going on night and day, the eompany being able to do the night work, owing to having their own electric light plant. The atockholdera win be pleased to learn that of the majority of the stock which wss delivered to the owners of the lease aa compensation for the lease, these owners have returned a psrt of this stoek to the treasury, to be sold for the benefit of the eompany. . Your eompany Is on a strictly legitimate financial basis with no one holding a majority of the stock, conse quently the business Is In ths stock holders' hands to be handled by directors and officers elected by the stockholders. we would say that a number of promi nent and responsible professional and business men of Omaha and the 8tate of Nebraska are stockholders and are giv ing their time and attention to assist, ing the directors In the management of the eompany, Alt atock that haa been sold bv the Standard Potash Company has been sold wttnout any promotion expenses. The entire) proceeds from the sale of this stoek haa gone Into the treasury to pay the legitimate expenses and bills cover ing the erection of this plant. There has been a great deal of economy shown and good Judgment In the purchase of material, thia material being bought early, shows n verv large nroflt over what it would eoet today. There will be added to the directorate three reputable business men,' who hsve all agreed to give their time and attention to the man agement of the Company. Investors who have been Interesting themselves In the potash production and know the Interest the government ts tak ing In .the production of potash know that the government Is now favoring potash Industries and are willing to as sist the legitimate companies In the capi talization of these plants, also protecting potash industry In every way it la pos sible. The demand for potash as a fer tiliser Is increasing all the time, there being a verv large shortage every year and the demand for same is increasing Investors In legitimate potash companies, thstl is eompaniee that are already started, hsve found that their Invest ments have been very favorable both In regard to the increased price quoted on stoek over what they paid for same, in all the going potash plants, and the large dividends paid after the regular government tax has been psid. The pot ash Industry is legitimate and any eom pany that Is handled on a business basis and in the hands of reliable business men cannot help but show results and be a good Investment.
