It Is impossible lo telegraph every shock which since last week recur dally aud often several times a day. Some are very light some are sharp and though they lave not caused damage all are alarming and unsettling.

Special Telegram to the There Is Intense excitement In Loup City to-ukht over the fatal shooting of O. U. Willard editor of the Times by H. T. Richardson of the Northwestern.

'Iho cause which led to thu tragedy was a war of words which the two men have Indulged In through the columns of their respective papers for some tlmo past The attacks and the personalities Indulged In have been grovvlnc fiercer and 111010 warlike with each Issue and at last the terrible culmination has been reached. Immediately alter the shooting Richardson was placed under arrest and taken to jail. The news of the killing quickly spread and largo crowds aru gathered on the streets. There is considerable talk of lynching as Willard was a very popular man and had a largo fol lowing. Richardson however Is strong politically and Is backed by an ofllclal ring and the Sherman County bank and It Is quite likely that ho will bo protected from violence.

The above moaner dispatch of the killing of O. B. Willard was celvod by the BKE last evening and an effort was Immediately made to secure additional particulars. Owing to the fact that Loup City's tolezraph ollico Is closed at night It was Impossible to secure further information concerning the traeedy. The meagoruesa of the dispatch Is due to the fact that Mr.WllIard was the UKE'S correspondent at Loup City and the above was sent by a volunteer who failed to crasp the linpoitanco of the news of the killing of one of the best known editors In the state.

The immediate cause of the shooting however is supposed to have been the following article which appeared In last Thursday's Issue of the Sherman -County Times Mr. Witlard's paper. paper.AIIOUT AIIOUT HYENAS. According to Webster's dictionary a liyena is mammal allied to the dog. Its habits are nocturnal and Itgcnerally feeds upon carrion.

He has not energy enoujh to make a Hying for himself but lives on the offal loft by inoro en r- getlc beasts of prey as this human grinning hyena lives ou the scraps thrown out by the Sherman County Hank Nightingale Scott and others of the same worm nest who use him as their tool to enable them to hold on to the funds of Sherman county to bo loaned at 3 per cent a month for the benelit of these vvalkim vultures.

A special irom Albany to the World says "A gentleman who has recently returned from Ohio where he has been In conference with trlends of Senator John Sherman gives to the World correspondent pendent what appears to bo the well defined policy of Senator Sherman in the interest of his presidential aspirations.

That Sherman Is already In the field there can be no ques tion. 'Senator Sherman said the emissary 'when the proper time conies will show a strength and following In this state that will surprise Blaine and his friends more than they have any idea of. Sherman has his frlrnds In Ohio well trained. He has the en tire republican machinery in his control and there will not courage enouirh on the part of his enemies In Ohio to make anything like a formidable opposition to the nomina tion. Sherman will soon have his Interests In New York so well guarded and protected that ho cannot be deprived of the vote of this state in the national convention.

Senator Sherman's plin ho continued Is to capture the state of New York throiuh the Influence of Lev P. Morton who is the senator's choice for tils associate on the ticket as vleo president. Sherman's trlends In Ohio un derstand this and all the work that Is being done has been 'one with this object in view. Sherman will not willingly consent to having any other than Moiton on the ticket with him. Morton too.

The local money market has developed Incieased strength during thu pas week and managers of leading banking Institutions have been pressed by borrower who needed funds' In various branches ol tr.ule. Speculators In gialu provisions anil stocks appe.ued to bo most urgent In theli demands and in sumu lust.tncus largo sumd wcro wanted. Managers of the alleged ul.ttlvuI'oniuination In wheat requested fa vors to a considerable extent and It Is under stood that they vvero successful In a cuuera way some paper being accepted by outside parties. It is anticipated that deliveries on ilntiu contiaets will bu fico and consldutabl a money will bu requited to pay for properlty Orders Irom the country lor currency vvero somewhat larger and It Is anticipated the receipts ol grain and live stock will bu en- larced as farmers are gcncially through vvltli ft their urgent spring work and competition between some ot the leading western roads has resulted In a reduction In freight rates' which Interior shippers desire to takn ad' vantage of. Lumber dcalcts have presented some paper lor discount but have not borrowed very large sum Wholesale merchants were moderate borrowers but their wants were not very pressing.

Among maim facturcrs business Is not very brlik but wholesale met chants repoit a good trail for this season ot the year.

Rates of Inteiest were wvll supported ported and b.mkers readily obtained cent for call and Cj 3 per cent lor time loans de cndln on thu amount required and the standing of the borrower. In making loans on speculative paper bankers generally Inststud on wide margins. SomA paper was offered on the street and goon names wcro accepted at about the same Inter est rate as were current at the bank.

Cot lections at Interior points arc fair. Eastern financial centers report a Kood demand fojJ money and rates of Interest well maintained Advices from abroad Indicate that money 13 abundant and Miscount rates exceedingly low. New York exchange was In moderate supply during the past week and the demand was comparatively light. The market waff quiet and prices steady. Sales were made between banks at 25 and 40 cents discount per SI.000 and the market closed at 25 cents discount.

Foreign exchange was olfeied sparingly and the demand was limited. The market was stronger and prices a trllla higher. Shippers' sixty days documentary illls on London changed hands at 44'j. 4.b4 and closed steady at S4.M The vv YorK Stoch nmikut was moderately active during the week just closed. The feeling during thq early part Indicated some strength and prices niled higher for properties.

During the past two or three days however there lias bean considerable realizing ana prices have slightly receded. The earnings uf leudinu' railroads show a good business tor this season of the year a considerable ln cicase over the leturns for the con'cspondlne time in ISSO. Humors of cuttlm of freight rates has made some operators uneasy ana has no doubt led to some realizing. The encouraging outlook for growing crops leads the managers ot most of the railroads In agricultural sections to anticipate an actlvo movement during the late summer and fall months. Wall street operators were trading with considerable freedom and outside parties engaged In moderate transactions Wcstem operators traded sparingly lighter than during the previous week as their attention has been altiactcd to some extent to speculation In grain.

Theie was some trad- inir in foiolgn amount but mainly In specials and chielly to use thu money obtainable at low rates of Interest The aggregate sales on the New York stock exchange for the week aggregated shales. Thn leading grain markets attracted considerable speculative attention duilug the past week and trading was brisk. Theie was considerable uncertainty surrounding trade and the movements 01 Ieadlnioper ttors weru watched very closely. Deferred dttllvurlcs mel with considerable favor though there way more business transacted In near futures. The "shorts" vvero anxious about their outstanding trade especially in wheat and oats and they purchased with considerable lieo- dom.

Kereipts of train vvero moderately latge being encouraged by the advanced prices of some aitlcles and the favorable outlook for growing crops. Considerable grain was no donht received to bn delivered on expiring contracts. Kates of freights from In- terlor points were reduced and this also tended to enlarge receipts at all principal western points. Thu shipping movements irom the principal lake ports vvera quite large and stocks of grain are being re duced. Thn export movement of Hour and grain continues liberal considerably In excess of the corresponding time last yeur with prospects that It will bo well maintained until thu European crops arc seemed.

Receipts ot grain at seaboard markets huva been moderately larie. Anivals of llvo stock have been liberal at all the pilncipal western markets and prices have ruled lower.
