Address Sterling Remedy Chicago or New York. Last Week's General Advance in Prices and Volume of Business Maintained. The receipts of cattle and hogs here and at Chicago were not as large as last week which rather crowded the market. Retail business has been very good in both of these cities, but prices are still low as they are in the country generally, especially for clothing. Bank clearings at Kansas City were $9,926,988 a gain of 7 per cent; the gain in the whole country was 7.3 per cent.

New York's more than half of the total gained 13 per cent and St. Louis 19 per cent. Bradstreet says: "Thi3 week's price movement includes an advance for tea, wheat, Indian corn, oats, coffee, sugar, and pig iron; steadiness on the part of prints, coal, lumber, steel billets, petroleum, pork and flour, and declines for cotton, lard, turpentine and resin. The encouraging features this week are the improvement in May railroad earnings and the advance in the price of Bessemer pig iron. Manufacturers of woolens are more hopeful, the outlook for higher prices stimulating a speculative demand for both raw and manufactured products.

Corn prospects in Oregon and Washington, where rain is needed, continue favorable. Hot and forcing weather with showers throughout the Gulf States has had an excellent effect on cotton which has stimulated the demand for merchandise." MORMON WOMEN COMMUNISTS. Expelled by the Mormons They Found a New Religious Sect Mrs. Amy Page, Mrs. Mabel Gaulter and Mrs.

Eula Marks came recently from Lamoni, where they are said to have been ex -communicated by the Latter Day Saints' to Independence, where they are organizing a new sect. The teach that true religion communism. If one family has food and another none, then the latter should help itself to the provisions of others. Wednesday night they endeavored to secure a hall, but as it was not forthcoming without coin of the realm they held a meeting on the public square. They assert that the "Church of Joseph" has degenerated and that they were ousted at Lamoni after a mock trial.

They declare their mission is reform and that they already have a number of converts. Their landlord, Daniel Bowen, does not believe in them. He says that when he went to collect rent, Wednesday, they told him that the Lord had commanded them to take possession of the property, that it belonged to the church, and that he had no title from on high; that Independence was consecrated to the Lord, and everything there was to be used in common. The tenants were obstinate and Bowen is now consulting with an attorney. SENSATIONAL SCENES IN COURT.

Chamberlain, S. June 10. Dr. T. A.

Hamil is on trial before the district court here charged with shooting Rev. E. W. Jenny with intent to kill. The shooting occurred as the result of Hamil being jilted by a young woman, he believing that ev.

Mr. Jenny and his yife were responsible for the girl's action. Two sensational incidents occurred during the hearing of evidence today. This forenoon Hamil arose in tne court room and bitterly denounced the chief witnesses for the prosecution, cursing them and accusing Judge Smith of not treating him fairly. A torrent of curses continued until the court was hurriedly adjourned and the prisoner hustled to jail.

This afternoon he attempted to escape from the court room, but was stopped by bystanders near the door and the officer was compelled to put a ball and chain on him during the remainder of the afternoon session. BRIGHTER PROSPECTS FOR THE SMELTER. Congressman Peters has written from Washington that he look? for a tariff amendment favorable to the local smelting interests. He says: "A majority of the Senators are with us, but unless we have a majority in the Republican caucus we will be defeated there. However, I think we have a small.

majority. If not, we Mill have two other chances with a good show to win 'in either. Considering everything, the chances are favorable to success." HID BODIES IN A CISTERN. Eugene Burt Must Hang for Butcher ing His Wife and Babies. Austin, June 9.

A few minutes before 4 o'clock this afternoon the loungers around the public square saw Judge Broaddus walk over to the court house. His actions had been closely watched, a3 people knew that the only thing which would call him to the court house would be the fact that the jury was to be brought- in to give the result of its deliberations. When Foley entered -the court room behind the sheriff he caught hold of the railing around the jury box, and steadied himself as he walked into the enclosure. As the jurors filed into their seats they were compelled to come in behind Foley and pass very close to him. As each man went by, Foley rapidly cast his eyes at him as though trying to read his fate in their faces.

The court room had filled np rapidly, but the spectators were all men, many of whom were in their shirt sleeves. The crowds of women, who 'had been in attendance since the trial opened were at home and tired cut The only one of Foley's relatives who was present was his cousin, Dr. Dillard Rick-etts, who has stuck by him through all his troubles. None of his attorneys wa3 there except Major John Dougherty. Major Dougherty was nervous and he admitted it.

It was reported during the morning that the jury stood 10 to 2 for conviction. J. T. Martin, foreman of the jury, did not waste any time. Leaning over the witness stand he said to Broaddus: "Judge we can not agree." "Is there any hope of an agreement being reached?" asked the Judge.

"I think not," replied the foreman. The same question was put to each juror in turn, and' all said there did not seecn to be any chance of a unanimous verdict being reached. Circuit Clerk James F. Reed was instructed to make an entry stating that no verdict had leen returned; the jury, was discharged, and the judge took the first train for his home. Before leaving he said that the case would net be taken up again until fall.

Foley did not show 'any emotion. As scon as the jury was discharged ho held a short conversation with Major Dougherty, his attorney, and Dr. Rick-etts, his cousin. He said that he was disappointed at the verdict, and that he wanted the case to be tried again soon a3 possible. The jury stood 7 for conviction anl 5 for acquittal.

WYANDOTTE HISTORICAL SOCIET Unique Souvenirs to be Made From Historic 'Paper. The biographies of eight persons famous in the county's early days to be given members cf the Wyandotte County Historical -Society, will be printed on Boston paper, which is nearly sixty years old. It was given to the society by Major John G. Pratt, who is one of the honorary members cf the organization. He received it ir 1838 for the Shawnee Baptist Sunday school.

It came from Bostoir by way of New Orleans, and Major Pratt says that it was nearly a year in making the journey. These whose biographies are given are: Mrs. Susannah Bet ton, Governor Wiiijam Walker, Summundowat, Laule- wasikaw, Jean G. Pratt, the Rev. Charles Journeyoake, Mrs.

Moses Grin ter, and Mrs. Clarinda F. Howard, Nichols. Of these five are dead, Mrs. Betiton, Major Pratt and Mrs.

Moses Grinter being the only ones surviving. Mrs. Clarinda Nichols is said to have been a wonderful woman in her day. In her biography, which is on the certificate, it is said that she was born January 25,1810, in Towmsend, and died in Pemo, Cat, in 1885. She came to Kansas City in 1856, and was one of the ablest persons in the territory to champion the cause of her sex wLii tongue and pen.

In 1859 she attended the Wyandotte constitutional convention, and was the only woman who did. Major Pratt lives on a farm at Piper, on the Northwestern road, Mrs. Betton lives at Pomeroy, on the Missouri Pacific railway, and Mrs. Grinter, near Welborn. Some time in July the Historical Society will give a picnic, which nearly all of the old settlers will attend.

The picnic had been arranged for last Thursday, but the rain prevented. BETRAYED BY HIS PROTEGE. W. L. Paul Alleged to Been Keeping her on Company Funds.

W. L. Paul, manager of the West Bottoms branch house of the Minne apolis Threshing Machine Company, is another trusted agent misled and betrayed by feminine faithlessness. Several years ago he became inter ested in a prepossessing young woman named Nellie B. Sayer, and, she was unfamiliar with onice I toofa.

her into the branch house of the company in the West Bottoms and taught her the rudiments of shorthand and typewriting. He then had tiv entered upon the pay rolls at $50 a month. This, the company charges, was the beginning of a series of irregu larities by which It was defrauded of large sums of money. It alleges that he charged up to it the cost of trips into the country that were never made. It states further that Pauk, lived a double life.

During the daytime he was W. Paul, Kansas City manager of the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company; during the night he was J. B. Williams, gentleman of unknown employment. The attention of the company wes attracted to the Kansas City office because of the lack of proper results.

They employed an inspector to inquire into the cause, and he learned enough to justify the discharge of both the Sayer woman and Paul. Then she turned informer against her friend. and through her they were enabled to learn most of what they know of Paul's irregularities. The result is that Paul confesses that he has charged up to the company a number of country trips which he never made. FOR $3.96.

One Louisiana and Two Nevada Senators Made a Majority. Washington, June 1. The continuance of 'the debate on the sugar schedule in the Senate served to swell the attendance considerably today. The tariff Toil! was 'taken up at 12: 15 and the consideration of the sugar schedule resumed. The first test vote on the sugar -schedule was taken in the Senate late jtoday, resulting in the adoption of the Republican caucus amendment changing the House race of 1.95 per pound by the close vote of yeas 32, nays 30.

The affirmative vote was made up of 29 Republicans, one Democrat (Mc-Enery of Louisiana) one Silver Republican (Jones of Nevada), and one Populist (Stewart of Nevada). The negative vote was made up of 25 Democrats, three Populists and two silver Republicans. It was the closest vote so far taken on an issue of importance, and was accepted as showing that any amendment having the sanction of the caucus was assured of adoption. The vote was taken after a day spent in speeches on the effect cf the sugar schedule. The main speech of the day came from Mr.

Allison', in charge of the bill, and was in the nature cf an answer to the charges made against the sugar schedule a3 a whole, and a defense of it. Gorman of Maryland spoke against the schedule and the entire bi'll, pointing out that its effect was to burden the people witiheut opening up to us new foreign marks-its. Mr. White reviewed the records of the Rermblican senators on the sugar schedule during the debate on the Wilson bill, arraigning them for inconsistency. Mr.

Caffery of Louisiana and Mr. Stewart cf Nevada also spoke, the former gainst and the latter for the pending schedule, after which the vote was taken. The attitude-of Mr. Lodge cf Massachusetts, Mr. Morrill cf Vermont, Mr.

Piatt cf Connecticut, and other senators on the Republican side, severely criticising the sugar rates of the Wilson bill, was reviewed by White, wivh sarcastic remarks cm consistency. There was much amusement over one quotation from Mr. Aldrioh arraigning Democratic senators for being con-t rolled by an "ircn-bound caucus rule." Mr. Stewart of Nevada asked Mr. Allison to state before the vote was taken whether this bill gave the refiners greater advantage than the present, law.

Mr. -Allison answered, "that excluding the countervailing duty this, bill does not give a greater advantage to the sugar industry than the Wilson bill." Mr. 'Allison proceeded to make a general statement. said that thus far senators had been discussing decimal figures and statistics without considering what lies at the basis cf this and all schedules. "We have' been taunted with the lwunty of 1800," said he, "and we hear senators on the other side say they tv ill' support a sugar duty cn the theory 'that it i3 a tax for revenue only.

I wish to disclaim any responsibility for this duty as a revenue duty. If that were its only object it should not have my vote." Mr. Allison proceeded to point out the Changed condition since 1846. In the days" of his boyhood, very little pure white sugar was seen. Now, no sugar came cn the table of rich or poor that had not gone through some process cf refining.

The refining industry of this country was entitled to some protection. He then explained the House and Senate schedules. "Do you believe in protection to labor or to capital interposed Mr. Tillman of South Carolina. "That lis a generality," replied Mr.

Allison, "to Which the senator well knows my answer. I believe in tn (American labor, but I be lieve also in protecting American capital from foreign capital." It was the policy cf this bill to do What Europe had done establish the production of sugar in this country and keep the $100,000,000 annually paid for sugars by cur people at home. Mr. Stewart said he did not expect this tariff bill to afford any material relief to the country, as there was a cancer of financial contraction which was eating at the vitals of the county. Mr.

Caffery replied briefly to Mr. Allison, and then the vote was taken amid anxious expectation, resulting, Yeas, 32; nays, 30, as above stated. At 5:10 p. m. the bill was laid aside and the Senate -went into executive session, adjourning soon after.

Bomb Under His Home at the Soldiers' Home. THE HOUSE IS BADLY WRECKED. Mrs. SmiiHi the Only Persnn Injured Veteran J. W.

Oliver Suspected. Leavenworth, June lx. This morning" at 3:30 o'clock an attempt was made to assassinate Governor A. J. Smith of the National Soldiers' Home at this place.

tA dynamite bomb was used, and Mrs. Smith was painfully injured, and part of their family residence destroyed. Joseph W. Oliver, until within tro weeks an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, is under arrest charged, with committing the crime and there is evidence to show that he is guilty. He is an eccentric veteran, whom many peopie believe to be crazy.

He has been in trouble several times and enly last winter shot at a street car conductor in a trifling dispute and served a long sentence on the rock pile for doing so. The assassin placed the bomb on the sill of the hay window on the south side of the residence. It was one win -dow east of the room in which Governor Smith slept, and was directly under the room occupied by Mrs. Smith. It was evidently intended for the Governor's room.

Mrs. Smith was badly shocked and a physician was sent for. On mak'ng an examination, it was found that she was bruised and scratched in several places, but that her wounds were not serious. Everyone in the house was aroused instantly, and before trying to get a light, calls were made to each other to see that all were alive and that none were pinned down by the wreckage. From the first, Governor Smith suspected J.

W. Oliver of being the guilty party, and at 4 o'clock he telephoned into the Leavenworth police to place Oliver under arrest Oliver committed some offense against the discipline of the home two weeks ago and he was sentenced to the "dump." He refused to serve out his sentence and took the "gate." He had some pension money due him and he sent a friend out to get it. There was delay and -ver indulged in threats, it is said, against the governor's life.
