BOYCOTT PRONOUNCED.
Lum Out, of Chicago, iu the Future Will
Not bo Recognized.
Chicago. Aug. 16. Lum Out, a
Chinese of this city, is in a serious pre
dicament. An order has been promul
gated throughout the city that he must
be boycotted. All good Chinamen are
ordered not to talk, trade or associate
with him. Lum is a laundry man, who
has embraced the Christian faith, and
converted a number of his countryman.
He established in his laundry a Sunday
school, where meetings are held every
Sunday. The cause of the trouble is
that certain Chinese merchants believed
Lum furnished information to the treas
ury agents, which led to the detention at
Winnipeg of several Chinamen, who re
turning irom a visit home, they we e
recently stopped, it will be remembered,
at Noche, Manitoba, and although they
had passports, it was believed the papers
were the property of others, and that
they were trying to break into the
country for the first time. When the
news of their arrest reached Chicago,
the colony here began to hunt for the
informer and it was finally determined
Lum was the guilty man. He had -been
seen conversing with treasuty agents and
also paid visits to the government build
ings. Despite his protestations of in
nocence, a boycott has been pronounced
against him and some wanted to kill
him, but the mandarin would not hear
of it. What so greatly incensed the
colony leaders was that the information
given the treasury agents was false, so
they say, the men arrested being bona
fide residents of Chicago. From infor
mation gathered this evening, it is be
lieved their story is right, and that the
Chinamen will be allowed to come lo
Chicago. '
Accidentally Drowned.
Fresno, Cal., Aug. 16. News has been
received here this evening of the acci
dental death by drowning of W. J
Simpson, well and favorably known
here. Simpson, in company with his
brotber-in-law, W. J. Perry, left Sanger
this afternoon on the way to their homes
at Big Dry creek, where simpson is pro
prietor of the wayside store. After leav
ing Sanger they stopped at Church canal
to take a bath. The water was running
lull head, ana while bathing Simpson
was taken with cramps and disappeared
betore .ferry could render any assistance.
A messenger was dispatched to shut off
the water at the beadgate,asthe body
has not yet been recovered, bimpson
was about 28 years of age and leaves a
widow and two children.
More Serious Than Reported.
St. Cloud, Minn., Aug. 15. The
storm proves to have been more serious
than at first supposed. All corn and
standing grain in its path is utterly
ruined. Hailstones crushed them to the
ground, and the grain in shocks has also
suffered severely. Many fields were
badly bruised and cut about the head by
hail. In some places the bail is fifteen
to twenty inches deep on a level. Win
dows on the exposed side of the houses
were smashed. JNo conservative esti
mate can be made of the damage accom
plished, but it must be heavy.
Canada's Rights.
Halifax, Aug. 16. The Secretary of
the board of trade today received from
Sir Charles Tupper a cablegram stating
that the British colonial office authori
ties are of the opinion that the treaty
existing, between England and Spain en
titles Canada to any reduction extended
to the United States by Cuba and Porto
Rico till June 1 next, when the treaty
expires.
Severe Flectrie Storm.
Hastings, Neb., Aug. 15. One of the
worst electric storms known for years
visited this city last night. The wind
raged furiously and the rain fell in
sheets for two hours. Hundreds of peo
ple took refuge in their cellars in antici
pation of a cyclone. Fully twenty cot
tages in different parts of the city were
wrecked and immense damage was done
to the fruit crops. .
Traced to a European Account.
Nfw York, Aug. 16. The recent sell
ing of the Northern Pacific bonds . and
stocks has been traced mostly to a Euro
pean account, especially to Germans.
It is believed they have been influenced
to sell by the bearish positions taken by
Villard on his return to this country,
and the falling of in earnings recently
has also been a bearish factor.
The Loss Will be Heavy.
Philadelphia, Aug. 16. The large
paper warehouse of U. G. Elliott & Co.,
was badly damaged by fire at an eaily
hour this morning. The fire was first
discovered in the basement, where an
immense amount of paper was stored.
Loss is not known but will prove very
heavy.
- Stiekney Makes a Sale. .
'Chicago, Aug. 16. A. B. Stickney,
the well-known-St. Paul railroad man,
has disposed of his tract of 650 acres of
land, to twenty packers of this city, not
including Armour, Swift and Morris.
They propose to open an immense btock
yard on the new location.

. New York, Aug. ,16.-rTbe export of
specie from New York for the last week
aggregates $134,751, of which $1300 was
gold. Imports of specie ; for the same

TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE
Another Railroad Wreck in Which a
Larger Number of Passengers Lose
Their Lives. !
Trading on the Chicago 'Change Just as
Wildly Nervous as it Was Satur
day Big Prices Paid.
Harvesting Well Under-way all Over
the Northwest Lack of Storage
Facilities Reported.
Bebxe, Aug. 17. Yesterday another
wholesale loss of life by a railroad acci
dent occurred on the Jura Simplan rail
road line near the village of Zolofekan
not far from this city. A special train
carrying a large number of excursionists
from the country districts to this city,
on the way here was run into by the
Paris express while side tracked to al
low the latter to pass. The accident
resulted in a large number of passen
gers being killed. The exact number
of dead and wounded is not known, but
twelve corpses have already been recov
ered . from the ruins and it is known
many people have been seriously in
jured by the collision. No loss of life is
reported among the paesengers of the
Paris express. The majority of the pas
sengers aboard the excursion train be
long to towns in the vicinity of this city.
It is thought no American travelers are
among the killed. The accident is
thought to be the result of carelessness
of the railroad officials.
CHICAGO ALL EXCITED.
Both Sides Satisfied the Prices Are Too
High.
Chicago, Aug. 17. The exciting
scenes in wheat and corn which char
acterized trading the latter part of ' last
week was renewed at the opening of the
board of trade this morning. Trading
was just as wildly nervous as it was
Saturday. The bull fever is still on this
morning and trades inflamed with the
prospect of higher prices, as a result of
excited higher cables, when the bell
tapped for the opening of business, at
once became - a pandemouium from
which came these figures for December
wheat inside of ten minutes at 1.13.
This was the top figure on the early
bulge. Then prices began to weaken and
at 10 o'clock had declined to 1.074. A
bulge to 1.13 was accompanied by the
wildest excitement and . some sales are
reported as high as 1.14. The succeed
ing period of weakness was the result of
free selling by both longs and shorts.
Conservative traders on both sides are
satisfied the prices are too high for safety
and far above the export basis, and they
must be brought together before a bene
fit on foreign shortage on which the
boom was founded can be realized. The
consequence of this was that prices
reacted until 1.05 was reached, that be
ing the lowest point this morning. It
reacted to 1.07, sold off to 1.06: At 11
o'clock it was comparatively quiet at
1.06. Wheat continued weak and at
12:15 December was quoted at 1.03.
THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.
The Promises of a Biff Yield are Store
Than Fulfilled.
St. Paul, Aug. 17. Harvesting is
well under way all over the northwest
and the promises of a big yield are more
than fulfilled. Wheat averages from
twenty-five to thirty bushels to the
acre and the increased yield from in
creased acreages makes 150,000,000 bush
els minimum, the product of the two
Dakotas and Minnesota. Other grains
are close to wheat, oats especially turn
ing out well. Great trouble is exper
ienced in procuring labor to handle the
immense crop,- and the railroads are
hard at work preparing to handle the
grain. Lack of storage facilities will
compel the great majority of farmers to
dispose of their grain soon, and trans
portation facilities- will be taxed to their
utmost. The weather for harvesting is
all that could be desired.
Lively Time In New York.
New York, Aug. 17. When tho pro
duce exchange openei this morning
there was an anxious crowd of brokers
present. Reports from Chicago. Lon
don, Liverpool, Pans and Berlin indi
crted an excited feeling and 'advance
over Saturday's prices. When the gong
sounded there was a rush to the wheat
pit and pandemonium broke loose. Th-3
first bid for December was 1.17. Within
five minutes after the offering the ex
citement began to decrease and prices
fell off to about yesterday's closing.
..
The Storm Was Furious.
Wilmar, Minn., Aug. 16. The? hail
storm which passed over the eastern por
tion of this county cut down standing
grain. The storm was furious. It
rooted up trees and broke down sheds.
The hail broke a number of windows. '
FATAL IllTNTINJ ACCIDENT.
A Boy -while Shooting (ironHe vu Lake
Washington is Instantly Killed.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. J5. Leonard
Addleman the 16-year-old sun of John
F. Addleman, a farmer living at Hough
ton, on the east side of Lake Washing
ton, accidently phot and killed himself
this morning at 0 o'clock. The charge
entered the right side two inches below
the nipple and ranged upward through
the lungs, causing immediate death. The
boy, in company with his father and
uncle, were out grouse hunting, and
while the three were standing on a log,
the nncle saw a bird and told Leonard
to shoot it. The boy had an old muzzle
loading rifle charged with bird shot,
and askeii his father to exchange guns
for the ehot. The father objected, but
the boy persisted and he finally advanced
towards him with the intention of
handing the gun. Leonard proceeded to
set the old gun down behind the log.
when the hammer caught, he gun weut
off and the charge entered his body. He
fell back, but not before his father was
on the spot. Throwing his arms around
his parent's neck he said, "Oh, papa,"
then kissed him twice upon' the cheek
and expired. When the news was
brought to his mother, she became pros
trated with grief and is now in a critical
condition.
AN EXCLUSION 1STEKUITTB1).
A Canadian Steamer With a Large
Crowd Aboard Libeled for Dcltt.
Seattle, Aug. 16. The steamship
Islander was attached this evening on a
writ sworn out by the Edison General
Electric Company, of Portland, who al
leged that the owners of the vessel were
indebted to them for $600 worth of lights
put in the steamer. The Islander is a
Canadian vessel and this is the first
time that she has been in American
waters for many months. The steamer
had a crowd oi iw excursionists on
board and was ready to leave for Vic

on Captain Irwin by a deputy sheriff.
The steamer was delayed almost two
hours, but the agents finally succeeded
in depositing a bond and the vessel left
for Canadian waters. The Islander's
regular run between Victoria and Van
couver, B. C, and she is one of the lar
gest and finest steamers in the North
west. RESULT OP BAD COMPANY.
A Double Murder on Board an Illinois
Freight Train.
Texas City, 111., Aug. 16. Mike
Weitzel, Otis Johnson and a dissolute
female named Ballentyne, while return--ing
from Eldorado on a freight train this
morning, engaged in a fight. Johnson
was easting a watermelon and Weitzel
struck him with a slung shot. Johnson
made a slash at his assailant with a khife
disemboweling him. The 'woman, who
had been with Weitzel some time,,
seized a hatchet and made a rush at
Johnson, cutting a gash across the left
cheek and cutting the upper lip and up
per front teeth from his face. She was
only stopped from hacking him to pieces
by a 6tranger, who saw the row, and
pulling a revolver told her to desist or
he would kill her. Johnson is under
surgical care here but will die. Weitzel
died this noon at Carmi.
Of an Incendiary Origin.
Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 16. A fire
early thjs morning destroyed the ma
chinery of the mine of the new Pittsburg
Coal company at Alum Cove, Sullivan
county. The company estimates the
loss at $100,000, with two-thirds insur
ance. There has been a' strike at the
mine for a week past, and it is thought
the mine was set on fire. It will be
several months before work can Le re
sumed. Tlie Artist and the I'ooclle.
A certain portrait painter in tiiis city
who has acquired quite a reputation as
an artist, was complimented on his life
like work. "Yes," he said, "I suppose
it is creditable now, but was not always
so. I remember the first job I ever had.
A wealthy lady came to see me and
wanted her full length painted. I did
the best I could, but that was nothing
to brag of. When the lady came to look
at the picture she gave a cry of disap
pointment. " 'Why, that's not at all like me,' she
said; 'I shall not take it!'
"I issured her it was a perfect like
ness, and declared that even her little
poodle would recognize it. 'I'm w illing
to take that risk,' she said, 'I'll bring
my dog with me this afternoon, ami if
he recognizes me I'll take the picture.'
Later in the day she brought in the
canine, and' the sagacious little animal
after surveying the portrait for a mom
ent, ran up and licked the painted hand.
My lady took the picture without any
further objections."
"But the likeness must have been strik
ing," I said, "to deceive the dog."
"Not necessarily," said the artist;
"I took the precaution of rubbing a
Eiece of bologna sausage over the hand
efore the dog arrived."- Welcome.
The horse market in the cities is dull.
The reason is that electricity is taking
the place of horses in propelling street
cars. Thousands of horses were for
merly worn out on horse cars annually.
There are not many offices that seek
the man, but a good many of them are
looking for pretty stenographers.
