TRKSIDEXT ED HEWIXS, of the Chero­ kee Strip Live Stock Association, in an interview at Kansas City said that stren­ uous efforts were being made to influence the President to extend the time set for the evacuation of the Cherokee strip by the cattlemen two months, or until Dec. 1. "This," ^aid II-wins, "is not only desired by us. but by the farm­ ers and stock growers of Kansas and Missouri. If the President's order goes into effect by Oct. 1, il will necessitate the rushing of fully or.e- (jflarter of a million head of cattle on to the market, which will virtually have the effect of sending the prices of cattle down to a figure a great deal lower than the market has been for years. It will .590 .576 .465 .293 .150 L. i9c. 3o .04(5 .584 .542 .533 .529 .495 .417 .254 manded payment in coin--not in notes-- and this demand caused the doors of the custom house to close--a step which was promptly followed throughout the city. The mob swept the city, plunder­ ing stores, shops, drinking places, and warehouses, and carrying off everything portable. At some places rifleshots were iired, but as the cart­ ridges were sown exhausted ^ the defend­ ers had to leave the property at tho mercy of the mob. Meanwhile the police were assembled in strong force at tho very spot where no mob was to be seen. Two hours after these disorders had oe curred; and after eighty had been wound­ ed and twelve killed, the authorities de­ termined to send out Artillery and in­ fantry ." pickets, and defend the in- tendent's atid other public offices, When the day closed the streets were filled with people, and everything indi­ cated that rough scenes were about to occur. The Union printing office was soon attacked and'the mob had to be driven off. At the Bellavista station one of the mob hoisted a red flag on a pole, and from that moment this flag was the banner of the movement. After an hour had elapsed a .picket ap­ peared, only to ask the plunderers to withdraw, and as they did not do so tho soldiers withdrew and the plundering con­ tinued. Meanwhile similar and even worse scenes were being enacted in the Uaron quarter. Tho railroad shops were completely destroyed and their contents thrown into the sea. The female csj-r- drivers' house was completely demol­ ished. AT Nijni Novgorod, in Russia, a young man named Vladimiroff accosted Gov­ ernor General liaranoff and requested an interview, yn the pretense that he had an important secret to impart. Tho Governor General was about to ac­ quiesce, when the young man suddenly drew a revolver and iired at Haranoff. The bullet went wide of the mark, how­ ever, and before lie could fire a second shot the man was seized by bystanders and handed over to the police. ;*v about 25 per cent.

Sweet potatoes have dropped in price considerably as the re­ sult of a splendid crop. Jerseys now bring 83.25 to ?3.75 per barrel. Balti- mores §2.50, Illinois $3.25, and Ken­ tucky red 82 to £2.25. This is a reduc­ tion of over SI per barrel during the week. Packers ot corn and tomatoes claim to have done a losing business dur­ ing the last three years. Small canniug factories have been erected at a hundred places in that time, to pack these vegetables principally, although a fair share of them put up a per cent, of peas, string beans, squash, pumpkin, etc. Tomatoes are fully 25 per cent, higher than in May. despite the fact that this is u the harvest time for garden truck. In any eVent prices will average much f\ -, higher in 1890-'yi than for the season of lS89-"90. That much is certain. Peas ,t - and beans are also up, and the packing season has closed with a substantial ad- vance on these goods that is likely to be increased materially when winter COR- , sumption begin<. fe f BUSINESS"'OF THE WEEK.

I am daily expecting a tele­ gram from Washington informing ine of the President's iinal decision. We have on the Cherokee strip about 300.000 cattle, about 50,000 of which cannot be marketed and must be fed during the winter. If two months be given us we will make arrangements with Kansas farmers for feeding fully one-half, and possibly two-thirds, of our stock until such a time as the market is favorable for shipment."

The prospect of speedy action on the tariff bill in the Senate, and considerably better sales by clothing dealeis. have made the wool manufacturers more hopeful, and purchases of wool are larger, at Boston reaching 3.100.000 pounds.

The cause was worry and prosperous overwork. LAST winter there was but a small area in North Dakota where the crops were an utter failure, most of the aid being called for in South Dakota. This year it seems that the conditions are n versed. It is not thought that outside , Poisoned by Gating L-mon Pudding. MB. W.J.

TIIE crop year for Minneapolis lias just closed, and with the exception of one year, that of 1888, shows the largest figures in all branches of the market withhi the city's history. The entire receipts of wheat amounted to 43,393,- 950 bushels, an advance over last year of 6,000,000 bufchcls in round numbers. For the same period the shipments amounted to 10,231,325 bushels. The num­ ber of barrels manufactured since September, 1889, is 0,713,052, tha.t of tho period from September, 1888, reaching 5,696,586 barrels. Tho corn market showing is the most remark­ able of the lot; receipts were 4,451,230 bushels, and tho shipments 2,230,000, a clear gain of 300,000 bushels over tho 1889 yield. The oats total, as well as that of flax, give these results: Oats, receipts 3,360,000 bushels, shipments 1,889,600; flax, receipts 38,000 bushels, and ship­ ments 25,000. The Duluth eora receipts for tho year ending Aug. 31 were 1,532, 863 bushels, and shipments 2,015,005; oats; receipts wero 1,579,790 bushels, and shipment^ ^,589,703. • "^ErnETAnv '\Vinim7.i and the Director of the Mint have had a consultation in regard to the new silver law, one result of whiclj was a decision that the depart­ ment will purchase 4,500,000 ounces each month, reckoning from Aug. 13, when the law took effect. It was suggested that the department purchase 54,000,000 ounces a year and merely average the monthly purchases. But this plan was thought to be open to objection, and it was decided to adhere strictly to the let­ ter of the law.

The management of the Sioux City, la., Corn Palace, which opens Sept. 25 and closes Oct. 11, has determined to make this year's carnival the grandest of them alL To this end the fourth an­ nual Corn Palace festival will in every respect represent tho resources .of the great northwest. The building itself is a stately structure, covering an acre or more of ground in the very heart of Sioux City. Exhibits frefm a dozen or more different states are now being placed ia position. There will be many county displays from South Dakota. Minnesota, Nebraska &nd Iowa. One of the features of a Corn Palace is the novelty of its interior and exterior decoration. The entire outside is orna­ mented with the various species and col­ ors of corn, while tho interior is trimmed and beautified by the nimble fingers of 300 ladies. A description of its beauty would be next to an impossibility.

On the walls are wrought pictures, illustrating farm scenes, legendary and nursery tales, etc., with a fidelity thg.t is calculated to raise a doubt that the material employed is the homely utilitarian growth of west­ ern farms. Frescoes and flowers, figures of persons and animals, draperies and thousands of surprising and beautiful things are made of field plants for the delight of tho visitors to the palace, whose astonishment is succeeded by ad­ miration of the genius that conceived and developed so much of art and beauty from such homely fabrics as ar* employed. 5 SURROUNDINQTHE DEATH OP A PARMER.

Hecker, formerly bandmaster of the Eigty-second regiment Prince of Wales volunteers, director. This band is con­ sidered one of the finest musical organi­ zations in America. The repertoire of the band, consists of 6,000 pieces and they could give two. concerts a dpy t(K aNtyear and not repeat? a single number.' This splendid organi­ zation is made up of seventy skilled mu­ sicians, and in itself is a grand card for Sioux City. There are so many features in connection with this year's Corn Palace, that space will not permit extended notice. The trades' parades consist of novel floats representing the various in­ dustries of the city and the great north­ west. These parades occur in the morn­ ing shortly before the noon hour, and pass over the principal streets of the city. On days not devoted to trades parades, there will be the cele­ brated King Korr. carnival pageant, something unique and never before wit­ nessed in tho northwest. The dazzling and novel pageants will be designed by the French artist, Francois Dubois, who has been brought over by the Mardi Gras authorities to design and equip next year's carnival at New Orleans. It will be impossible at this time to say just what this parade will be, and, in­ deed, in a great measure the matter will be kept a secret, but the assurance is given that ho such parjMje and p.o guch magnificent costumes and equipments have ever been seen north of New Orleans, as will bo witnesspd dur­ ing the Corn Palace carnival. Several hundred costumed horses and plumed knights, with glittering chariots and floats will take part in these pageants, and give amusement to the thousauds who crowd the streets. Every railroad centering at Sioux City, as well as all tributary lines have made a rate of 'one fare for the round trip, and it is safe to predict Sioux City will, between the dates of Sept. 25 and Oct 11, have tho largest gathering of people ever as­ sembled in any Iowa city. shown with straw 36 to 40 inches long and heads (that are well filled, while samples from adjoining fields that were not irrigated showed straw from 18 to 22 inches in length, with berries that are shrunken and discolored.

BOYS employed in the glass factories of Baker'Bros. & Co. and Swindell Bros, at Baltimore to the numberof 100 struck for higher wages, shutting down the flint department in each and throwing 800 men out of work. The remainder of the boys, it is expected, will go out and thus entirely shut down both factories.

In building the palaco a large structure is first erected of lum­ ber, in a shape that will carry and show to advantage the multiform decorations with which it is to be adorned. It is in form lofty, with broken lines, pinnacles, buttresses, bridges, gables, ornamental windows, etc. Over every inch of this wooden surface are laid corn and kindred plants in ar­ chitectural harmony, in a multi­ plicity of designs. The corn is employed in the stalk, the ear, the kernel, and even the husk has its dccorativo uses. All tho grains and grasses of tho field lend themselves to the beautifying of the palace. The walls are covered on the outside with ears of corn, cut lengthwise or cross­ wise, and nailed on in geometrical figures or other designs. Tho various colons of the cereal permit of a wide range of shading and coloring, while its artistic possibilities, developed frojn year to year in building the palace, admit of the pro­ duction of effects that are as startling afc pleasurable. High over the entrance of the palace of 1889 was King4Corn'« crown as the nucleus of a sunburst, while below was the national flag in graceful folds--all wrought in vari-coiored corn as true and as beautiful as if painted by an artist's brush. The roof is overlaid with corn leaves. Pinnacles and columns are capped witli the sorghum plant, or wltli grains and grasses. The irridescent walls, seen from a upar distance, seeip to be a rich mosaic of polished woods, while with the And I am tho mystic warder That stands at the autumn's gate-- Mondamln. the carnival spirit That rules at the Palace fete.

[Grand Rapids (Mich.) dispatch.] Seven miles west of Grand Rapids, on the shore of a pretty little inland body of water called Lake Finnessy, is a com­ fortable farmhouse surrounded by one of tho best tended and most productive fruit farms in the State. It is in Tall- mage Township, Ottawa County, which is the only county intervening between this and Lake Michigan. The neighbor­ hood is famous for its fruit croDS, and its farmers are among the most intelligent and thrifty to be found anywhere. Crime and mystery, so familiar in their varied aspects to city life, always seem strangely incongruous to such rural surroundings. At this quiet farm house the funeral services were held this Sunday afternoon over the remains of Wm. A. Quigley, who declared with his dying breath that lie had been murdered, and yet a cor­ oner's jury, composed of neighbors who •had known the dead man all bis life, re­ fused to find a verdict of murder. Before the circumstances of the case are related in detail, a word should be said regarding Quigley, whose peculiar characteristics will lend additional color to the queer story. Ho was born in the neighborhood in wliich'he lived, and died lorty-four years ago. He was industri­ ous to a fault, economical to penurious- ness, allowed himself n.g luxuries, and indulged fh no vices, not even tobacco. His own relatives called him avaricious, and said that money-making was his only aim. The neighbors were not more charita­ ble. "Bill" Quigley, as he was called, kept on his own way, caring nothing for theso aspersions. He prospered. His farm was set out in fruit and garden vegetables, and his profits were large. One son, Amos, a boy now nearly 19, was brought up to work as hard as his father worked. These two did all the work un­ til three years ago, when Quigley be­ came afflicted with a chronic ailment, which at times incapacitated him from labor. Then a young boy was hired to assist Amos. Quigley came to town last Tuesday to transact some business, although he was hardly able to be out of bed. It rained, he got wot, and was taken seriously ill. Ho had discharged Dr. Brady, who had been the family physician for years, and engaged Dr. Clark of Grand Rapids, one of the "no cure, no pay" variety of practitioners. So lie sent his wife to town to consult with Dr. Clark about his complaint. Mrs. Quigley cautioned the boys to look after tho old man while she was gone, but Quigley imperatively or­ dered them to do some work in the ex­ treme northeast corner of tho farm out of sight of tho house and the lake. He was left alone in the house. About three o'clock in the afternoon Amos sent the boy, Holloway.. by name, to the house for water and to see how the old man was getting along. The boy came running back shortly, terrified, and said that the old man was dying. The boy was told to go for Mrs. Pelton, one of Quigley's sisters who lived near ^by, and Amos hurried to tho house. He jfound his father lying insensible on the sofa, stripped of his clothing, cold from iexposure, and bleeding copiously from a number of wounds on tho face and head. The old man recovered consciousness af­ ter a while, and he told Mrs. Pelton and his son that ho had been assaulted by two men. Ho said ho had been asleep and was aroused by some kind of crush­ ing shock as if hit in the face by somo Jteavy weapon. His next realization was finding himself lying in a pool of blood in tho yard at tho rear of tho house. He had summoned sufficient strength to crawl back into the house, where he had lost consciousness again. His first thought was that robbery was tho motive, and his first words to his son upon recovering consciousness v»ore a command to look for his pocketbook. Tho son found his father's trousers in the woodshed^ where they had been care­ lessly thrown by some one, possibly the murderers themselves. Tho purse was in ono of tho pockets and contained §25. Seventy dollars was missing, including a $50 gold piece, ono of the octagonal "California slugs," which are rare and are worth perhaps $90 or $100 as curiosi­ ties.- Quigley had carried it for years as a pocket piece. The theory of robbery would appear to be the only ono con­ sistent with the circumstances were it not for the fact that $25 was left in the purse. If the robbers took $70 and left the rest their motive for so doing is a matter for wide conjecture. Dr. Clark, the "m> cure, no pay" phy­ sician was sent for by Mrs. Quigley. He at once advanced the theory that the old man had received the fatal wounds by falling while wandering about in a de­ lirious condition, and that the story of tho assault, as told by Quigley on his death bed, was merely a species of night­ mare. Dr. Brady, the old family phy­ sician, who was discharged to make room for Dr. Clark, ridiculed this idea. There was no place for Quigley to have fallen except down cellar, and ho evidently had not dono that as there was no blood on the cellar steps, wliilo there was quite a pool of it in the back yard and leading into the house. Fur­ thermore, Dr. Brady declared under oath at the inquest that Quigloy's complaint was not one that would affect tho mind in afly way, and that Dr. Clark's hy­ pothesis was absurd from a professional point of view, and he added that a man of such strong mental characteristics as Quigley, whom he had known a lifetime before Clark ever saw him, would not bo easily subject to such an hallucination. Justice Baldwin impaneled a Coroner's Jury and held the inquest. No one of the witnesses knew of any personal enemies of Quigley who might have com­ mitted the deed or caused it to be commit­ ted. The fact that §25 was found in the purse cast doubt upon the robbery theory. Dr. Brady was positive that Quigley had told the truth and that ho had been mur­ dered. Dr. Clark was positive in his own theory of accidental falling and an as­ sault imagined in a nightmare. It be' came an issue between the doctors. Two- county officials were present to see if their services would be required. These wero Sheriff Van Poll and Prosecuting Attorney Lijley, both of Grand Haven. The jury deliberated all day and half the night. Three of them were fast in the theory of murder. The other three, while not actually accepting Dr. Clark'# theory, were yet unwilling to bring in a murder verdict with the doubts which they entertained. About midnight tho worthy J ustice who was acting as Coro­ ner notified the six good men and true to find a verdict or go home and he wquld impanel a new jury. In view of this threat they agreed upon a verdict of "death from unknown causes." The verdict is far from satisfactory. It is charged that the county officials were desirous of avoiding the expense of unraveling a difficult murder case, and for this reason affected a credence for Dr. Clark's theory which they did not feel, and which nevertheless had In­ sensibly a strong influence upon the minds of the three jurymen who hold out against a verdict of murder, y - . r VSs • I Proceedings of the Senate and House Representatives -- Important Measure* V Dlscsssed and Acted Upon--Gist o'. the Business. WHEN the tariff bill was taken up in tho Senate on the 30th, the ponding question was on Mr. Carlisle's motion to strike out tile. wool paragraphs (357 to 3C0), so as to plac» wool on the free list. Mr. Daniel addressed the Senate in support of the amendment; Mr. Hawiey replied to some of Mr. Daniel"* ' allusions to Connecticut agriculture-. antf#v' reminded him that the tendency of itopis * lutions toward towns and cities was coin* 1 mon in ail states and nations. Thffc effects of that tendency were modified, by keeping up the manufactures, without, which the population of Connecticut woulcf be reduced. He was convinced that theHr wrere more landholders in Connecticut now; than there used to be. The land was ln-«r creasing in value, and the population of the State had grown since tho census of 1880 by 118,000. The money in saving*... ̂ banks (a fair Indication) was growing year • ../-'i by year. The vote was then taken 1,1 and Mr.. Carlisle's motion to striko out all the wool paragraphs was re*'-^;:j jected--yeas, 17; nays. 37--a strict party* vote, although Mr. Payne, if present, wouM| have voted, Mr. Sherman said, in the nega» live.

Senate on the 1st, Senator Paddock ofe? ; Nebraska (Rep.) spoke in criticism of sotndt ' *. 'I Section of the bill. The agricultural West» he said, never favored higli protective \ duties, but did favor a sufficient pro* tection to cover the difference in waged^. while at the same time tho semblance, afc{V *' least, of foreign markets was preserved**?,'< Tiie West regarded a "revision of the tariff" *- ; as meaning "a reduction of the tariff'* whenever possible, and not increase^ ' in the tariff imposts, and ho was confident, that the demand for a lower ramteof dut ies would have to receive an early and favor­ able response from Congress. Mr. Sherman gave notice of an amendment which he pro­ posed to offer to the tariff bill looking toward reciprocity with the Dominion of Cauada in coal, and toward "extending trade relations between Canada ami the United States." In the House, Mr. Cooper (Ind)" rising to a question of privilege, stated that one of the charges made in 1 he resolution offered by him for the investiga­ tion of tiie Commissioner of Pensions was that the Commissioner was selling stock in a refrigerator company to employes of the Pension Office. This day he had learned that one of tho members of the investigat ing committee--Representative M. L. Smyser of Ohio--was one of the stockholders, lie therefore offered a resolution discharging Mr. Smyser from the committee and direct­ ing the Speaker to appoint Ills Successor. After the matter had been discussed for some time Mr. Smyser voluntarily withdrew from the committee. MR. IIALE offered tho reciprocity amend­ ment in the Senate, On the 2d, of which he had given notice on June 12, and ad­ dressed the Senate upon It. The desira­ bility of such ati interchange of products the amendment proposed, lie said, had been a subject which had given riso to the closest . attention, and had resulted in grave and , pertinent suggestions from eminent put)- ' lie men of the United States during tho last thirty years. Whoever had seen tli» gradual falling off of American trade with Central and South America and the Isles of tiie sea must have witnessed those condi­ tions with tho greatest impatience. The people of all those countries had a common interest with the peoplo of tho United States. Alluding to the late Pan-American Congress, Mr. Hale said that it proved that.. •> the same considerations which had their influence in the Uunited States were also moving in the minds of tiie eminent men from the sister repub­ lics who took part in the proceedings of that congress, and that they pointed tj» the one sure and inevitable end--th$ in*., S •. crease of trade and commerce between thjfri-'Y' IT tilted States and those peoples. Those connv f ' siderat ions which applied to an extension of trade and an increased interchange of products, applied not only to the nations of Central aud South America, but to tiie Islands of the Spanish Main. In tho House the Clayton-Breckinridge election case wa»f'f < called up, but was not disposed of. A -1 A WRITTEN communication from the Os- 4, wego Board of Trade contradicting a stat^- i merit of the Secretary of Agriculture on' r the subject of the production of barley was presented to the Senate on the 3d inst. by Mr. Evarts, who asked that it be printed in the Congressional Record. Objection to that was made, but 500 copies were ordered print ed for immediate distribution. Mr. Rusk's statement was tit at barley is the only cereal of which there is not raised a sufficiency for home consumption. Tho denial is to the effect that the annual production of the United States is about 00,000,000 bushels, • and that the quantity usod last year . for malting purposes was less than 45,000,000. Ten million bushels had been imported from Canada--the quality being superior for malting purposes to that of the United States barley. Mr. Call offered a resolution, which was referred to the Com­ mittee on Foreign Relations, declaring that the murder of Gen. Barrundia on the steam­ er Acapulco, by the authorities of Guate- • mala, while under the protection of the flaff of the United States was an insult to the people of the United States, and demanded prompt action by the Government of tho United States for the redress of that injury and for security against tiie recurrence of such cases. The tariff bill was taken up, the sugar schedule being under considera­ tion. In the House the Clayton-Breckin- ridge election case was again taken up, but its consideration was not finished. During the debate Mr. Kennedy of Ohio (Rep.) took occasion to denounce Senator Quay. Mr. Kennedy drew from the details of the Clayton-Breckinridge case the conclusion that a Federal election law should be en­ acted. He reflected severely upon the Sen­ ators who have been opposed to the Lodge bill. For himself, confident in the doctrines of the Republican party, fully committed to the principles of that party, he must forever dissent from tiie cowardly surrender which hauls down tho flag and strikes the colore of the Republican party to a defeated foe. IMMEDIATELY after \he reading of t]he journal in the Senate on the 4th inst., the tariff bill was taken up, under the agree­ ment limiting the discussion on each sub­ ject to five minutes for each Senator. Mr. Gibson withdrew the amendment offered by him last Tuesday to tho sugar schedule (a mistake having been made in it), and he of­ fered another amendment striking out that schedule and substituting for it the sugar provisions of t£e Mills bill. Swme amendments making slight changes In the bill were adopted. When the House assembled, on motion Qf Mr. Struble (Iowa) the Senate bill waa passed to establish a port of delivery at Sioux City, Iowa. Mr. Cummings (N. Y.), rising to a question of privilege, protested against his ••blacklisting" by the famous Cannon resolution. The gentleman who offered the resolution had made imputa­ tions, and in making these Imputa­ tions he hau falsified the Record and blacklisted himself. He then proceeded to make an attack upon Mr. Cannon. He then began to arraign the Speaker and the ma­ jority of the Committee on Rules. This 'majority composed a triumvirate almost as- powerful as the one which sprang into life after the assassination of Julius Caesar- When the House met in the morning, Matk Antony recognized Lepidus or Octavius and nobody else.
