THE SAFE WOULD NOT OPEN.
A Salem Bank Had Trouble in Getting
at Their Funds.
Salem, Or., Aug., 14. -Two and a half
weeks ago the safe in Ladd & Bush's
bank here refused to open, and since
that time experts have been laboring
with it. Both the time lock gnd combi
nation refused to operate. After sixteen
days' steady drilling the safe Was opened
today, over 100 drills having been
broken and a dozen worn out in the
operation. In the safe was over $125,
000. .
Wheat' today moved up to seventy-five
cents, the best price paid here for some
time. The new crop is beginning to
come in lively and the second big mill
will be in operation next week.
This evening, at Turner, lra Adams
started out on a short hunting expedi
tion, and as he was getting over a fence,
set his gun down on the ground, barrel
up. His foot slipped and struck the
hammer, discharging the weapon. He
received the load in his left wrist, which
will have to be amputated. . .

quoted at 260 marks. ' August wheat ad
vanced 14 marks and 50 pfennings from

marks. ' The North German Gazette the
official organ of the government today,
says, the government will resolutely ad
here to its decision to make no reduc
tion in the duties levied upon grain im
ported into Germany. The government
is now held responsible for the advance
in prices in the grain market.
ti '
Worse Than at First Reported. :

storm proves to have been more serious
than at first supposed. All corn and
standing grain in its path is utterly
ruined. In some places hail is fifteen to
twenty inches deep on a level. JSo con
servative . estimate can be made of the
damage but it is heavy. -

BIGPRICES FOR WHEAT
A Wild Scene on the Chicago 'Change.
All Sorts of Prices are Offered
and Accepted.
An Extensive Operator of St. Louis
Pails. Had too Many Contracts
on Hand. Other News.
Chicago, Aug. 15. December wheat
opened with a- continuance of yester
day's wild scenes. Strong cables con
tinue to effect the market. Those who
sold wheat around to 6 yesterday think
ing the culmination was reached, rushed
into the pit to cover at any terms. Or
ders from New York- and St. Louis for
shorts came pouring in, and altogether,
there was a wild scene and all sorts of
prices bid and accepted. In different
parts of the pit at the same time, within
two minutes after the bell tapped all the
way between 1.01b1.02 with some
trades possibly at 1.03 paid. A flood of
selling orders caused a break to 1.01.
There was a rally to 1 .02, another break
to 1.01 and an advance to 1.02.
When at about 1.01 another bull wave
swept over the wheal pit, and amid in
describable scenes of excitement the
price was put up by halves and quarters
to 1.05J within three minutes. This
bulge -was understood as the result of
buying in for account on shorts who
failed to respond to rjargin calls.
When these wants were satisfied there
was a quick reaction to 1.03 and at
10 :30 the price was 1 .04. After 10 :30
the furor subsided somewhat, at least
for a time, and fluctuations were narrow;
Then another advance set in and prices
rose to 1.09 about 11 o'clock. Ten min
utes later it dropped .to 1.08. Other
markets were lost sight of in the excite
ment in wheat.
The excitement today in wheat cannot
be ascribed to any one thing. It sympa
thizes with a world, wide agitation on
the' question of breadstuffs. Including
rye and wheat all foreign markets are
excitedly higher and America is the tmly
country which has -full crops and
couuts on profiting by European and
Asiatic scarcity. . This in brief seems to
be the sentiment prevalent on the board
here. As the session drew toward a
close, traders were desirous of evening
up their trades and the consequence was
that from the extreme high point of
$1.09 the market broke off to $1.05.
There was afterwards a slight rally and
wheat closed unsettled ; cash $1.07
$1.07; Sept., $1.04$1.05; Dec,
$1.06. .
GONE TO THE WALL.
An Extensive Exchangpe Oderator of 8c.
Lonls Fails.
St. - Louis, Aug. 15. The failure of
John Thyson an extensive operator on
the exchange was announced after the
close of the exchange today. 'I do not
know how. I stand," said Thyson, "the
trouble with me was I had too many
contracts on hand and I fell in the gap,
When I find out how I stand the matter
will be straightened out." Thyson is
one of the most prominent traders on
the exchange .and his failure rnd big
bulge in -prices may pull down a few
others.- -
" The Nebraska Eight-Hour Law.
.'; Denver, Colo., Aug. District assem
bly No. 83, Knights of . Labor, which
took in all the employes of the Union
Pacific system, Has taken action regard
ing the Nebraska eight-hour law, which
at present is causing trouble in Omaha
and other cities. The following tele
gram has been sent to Omaha, Grand
Island, and North Plafte:
"Secion 15 of the agreement is a con
tract as to working time. It is still in
force, having been made prior to the
eight-hour law, which, under the con
stitution, it cannot abrogate, The law
is thus inoperative on Union Pacific
shop employes, because of the contract.
In honor we are bound to recognize the
contract, unfortunate as it appears,
until it can be modified by the parties
to it. The good faith of the organiza
tion ' should be considered iu this
matter."
Damaging Evidence Given..
Butte, Mont., Aug". 13. In the pre
liminary examination in the Penrose
murder case today Officer Waters said
the spike in the club found in Harper's
yard the day after the murder belonged
to the kit of tools used in the late Acqui
sition mine, worked by Deeny and Kelly,
two of the prisoners. He identified it as
a peculiar tool only used bv miners from
a certain part of Cornwall. The mine
had been worked by three Cornishmen
before it was leased" to Deeny & Co., and
the.tools were left in it by the Cornish
men.. it nad a " w" marked on it, and

BAIBD IS BOUND OTER.
Conclusion of the Hearing; of an Official
Who Was Too Handy With a Gun.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 13. The hear
ing of Inspector Baird, which has been
in progress before. United States Com
missioner Kiefer for a week, was con
cluded yesterday, and resulted in the
binding over of Baird for trial before the
grand jury. Baird failed te get bonds
and Deputy United States Marshal Bige
low took the prisoner lo Tacoma at once
and turned him over to Marshal Brown,
who will take him to McNeil's island to
morrow. The-whole dav's hearine was
spent in arguments by the counsel. L.
C. Oilman and John T. Miller made
arguments for the government, aud At
torney Allen for the defense. Commis
sioner Kiefer, in his decision, found that
Rairrl U'l s cn i t v n r-li n rord in th mm. '
plaint, of using a weapon on Holdcn
while Holden was handcuffed. He
thought it a very significant fact that
Baird had disguised himself before he
went out in the wood to intercept the
Chinamen and their white captors. If '
Baird had seen Holden, or thought he
saw him with the Chinamen at the time
of the shooting, then Baird was more
culpable than ever, for Holden was a.
United States customs officer and was'
entitled to have the Chinamen in charge?
The court found that Baird had his re
volver out ready to shoot before the
shooting commenced, if he did not be
gin it himself. He was blaiueble in be
ing so ready and anxious to use his gun.
The attorney for Baird at once gave
notice tnat he was going to apply for a,
writ of habeas corpus.
WILL OWN THE WATEK WORKS.
La Grande Will Not Depend on Imlivld
- nals for Its Water Supply.
La Geande, Or., Aug' 14. At a meet- "
iny of the 5tv council last pvspimr fch
o j r-
com pan- which had been granted the
franchise to provide a system of water
works asked that they be allowed to re
linquish their contract with the city,
and that their bondsmen be relieved
from the payment of their bond. This
action had been anticipated by the coun
cil, as the date on which a supply of
water was to be furinshed was rapidly
approaching, with no apparent means in
mittee was appointed with power to take:
the necessary steps looking to the estab
lishment of waterworks by the city, and
with instructions to call a -special elec-
tion-upon the question of bonding the
city tor an additional $zu,uuu.
The citizens of the town unanimously
realize the necessity of water for fire pro
tection, and now that the city itself has
taken hold of the matter, there is every
reason to suppose that a supply will be
speedily secured. At the same meeting
steps were taken looking to the purchase
of a steam fire engine and a hook and
ladder truck.
The Wort of Fiends.
Sabatoga, Aug. 13. While driving
near Wilton last evening Mrs. Cook and
her daughter were assaulted by two
negroes. Their carriage collided with
that in which the negroes were. The
latter immediately assaulted the ladies,
and beat and choked them in a shocking
manner. Their cries attracted Mrs.
Cook's husband and two young men.
They started in pursuit, of the fiends.
They had not gone far when Mr. Cook
suddenly threw up his hands, and ex
claiming, "Boys, I cannot see,!', fell over
dead. Heart disease was the cause of
his death. Mrs. Cook is now insane as
the result of her injuries and from grief
at the death of her husband. Today de
tectives arrested the two negroes near
Sandy Hill. They claimed to be from
New Hampshire and to be 'peddling
soap. They will be examined tomorrow.
