OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY. AUGT 'MORNING EDITION. NO. 52. COLD SHOULDER. A Gigantic Corner in Pork Which Will Make Many Lame Ducks, Bpoctal disparch to Tus Bax. New Yors, Augost 20—1 5. m.— Considerable excitement has recently vrevailed in the pork market in New York and Chicago. There has been an advance of 82 within & week. Al- though Kesne's name has been men. tioned in the corner, it appears on in- veetigation that Armour, of Chisago, mwember of the firm of Armour & of this city, is the matter. According to a state- ment received /rom Chicagn Wednee- day evening, the stock of pork in Oki- '©aZ0 is 129,000 Sarrels, against 172,000 for the samo period_Jast The bulk of this is controlled by Armour, who is making the thing interesting for operators on the wrong side of the market. He kas been manipulating the market for months, and has been encouraged, it is naid, by the large Imesof short interest which were be- ing recklessly put ont for feeling mo- tives by hia operators to-day. Pork for Aucust delivery, which was quoted ort time ago a1 §1400, in held at $17.00, both here and in Chicago. The objective puint is sad to be $20.00 per barrel and, if_acoomplished, there will be a number of lame ducks, as this mouth's stock is said to have been largely oversold. Some interestiug developments are predicted before the end of ihis month. The present speculation includes mats, and is said to be one of the most gigantic schemss manipulated by a single op- erator in this branch of trade. The stock of meats in Chicaga, =8 sworn to on the 15th instant, was 15,393,000 pounds; of short rib mid- les, 229,000 pounde; short clear middlos, 720,000 pounds; lonz clear middles, 1,216,000 pounds; sweet pickled Lams, 6,352,- 000, and 18,000,030 pounds of other cut meate. of this enormous quantity Araour, it is said,owns the controll- ing share, Tho result is that not only the shorss ie pork, but the exporters of meats ars buing squeezed.

AN UNWRITTEN LEAF IN CONNECTION WITH COUNT SCHOUVALOFF, THE I- PERIAL DETECTIVE. Chicazn Telsragh. Those who have traced the career of that able diplomatist, Count Schou loff, the late Ruesian ambassador at k which o pay the sacretand other po- lice under his orders.

The arrangement which had been made between THE COUNT AND THE BANKER bad been overheard by an attentive accomplice and they determined to now make a beldstroke forthe money. Shortly before tha appeinted time of the transfer of the money the bank doors opened and in walked &_gentle- man, to all appearance Count Schouy- al ff wesring the official uniform, in walk, manner and voice the exact counterpart of the chief of the police The required notes had been careful- ly counted and aeranged, and direstly om applizetio of the jupiesed” Count Schouyal ff they were handed over with $he utmost confidence and the receipt tendered by the pseudo count. The bank clerk who attended him to the door, and handd to his official custcdy the precious package, saw a carriage in every point the counter- part of the well known official equip- age. The servaut, the horses, even the fittings were well known to him as thoee of the chief of police, and not cne iota of suspicion entered the hesd of the baok authoritiss, as, with s graceful bow, the supposed avgust pereonage touk bis departure. Some twenty minutes after the de- parture of the supposed official the bank doors again swung open, but this time to admit the real Count Schouy- aloff, who at once advanced to the cashier to demand the wovey for the treasury draft. Oa the applcation being made, both banker and clerks were dumb- founded. “The money, your Excellency !

Assuming a thoughtful attitude for a fow seconds he roplied, in a qui- et aud compoecd mauner, “Ah! y. how thouzhtful «f me, I quite forgot it,” and with some short apologies he left the bank. Among tho Russian police, both public and private, it is a standing orderto noteevery movement of the chief of the department in or- der that shoald he be required, he can at any moment be found. Leaving the bank, Count Schouva- Toff acoosted the first of his men, and inquired, “Did you see me pass this way half an hour agol” The man, who had, like the banker and clerks, been decaived by the pseudo Count, replied at once, “Yes, you left tho baok and drove to the right. A sec- ond man gave further aid, and so & third, and fourth, uotil at last the Count learned that he (in duplicate) had beon seen to entera hotel in a side street, and send away his car- riage. Entering the hotel, the Count acoosted the landlord with some ordi nary questions of the day, and, while thus engaged, one of the waiters en- tered, aud started azhast to see the count talki “Why do you start!” asked loff. The waiter replied, “‘I ha just left your Excellency at dinuer in No. X, and here I find you talking to Mousieur.” Schouvaloff had now the required information, and he st once entered the apartment indicated by the wait- er, and_was brought face to face with his duplicate, who with his friend were just refreshing themselves prior t0 a journey to lands far distant. On the side-table was & black bag con- tainin the nicely-sorted notes and the wardrobes of these would-be officials. The count saluted his double witha hearty welcome, allowed him to finish the meal which he had so ably carned, and then both he aud his friend were provided at_goverament expense with tourist tickets to Siberia.

Times The physiological training of the Hindu fakir for his profession is some- chief of the detective police to the hours together; that is, when he fa not standing upon his head or train- ing himself to take adeep inspiration andexpel it slowly—taking 12 sec- onds to breathe inand 24 to breathe out the eubic feet of atmorphere that | the lungs can contain. Besides theso exercises his tongue has to be cut 24 times, 80 as 10 sever all one by one, and enable him to flex it backward and close the throat with its 6p. This _extraordinary dis- cipline s steadily prosecutod fo yenrs, and at length the fakic tries his Brst experiment wich feiguing death, allowing himself to bo shut up in his subterranean cell and sealed ther.in with every precaution, generally for a week or two at first, then for a month or two months, lying or squatting in astato cf_france, with the tip of the tongue closing the throat, without percaplibls action of the heatt, avd with the circulation of the blood ap- parcutly suapended. He would never resver himself from this condition of suspended animation; but he can_be recovered by proper manipulation, which commencea in pouring hot water over the shriveled body, stiff and rigid as . corpse, for some min- utes. As the battng in hot water continue-, the srms and legs gradually relax from their rigor. A ot cake is next placed upon the crown of the head, and the plugs (made of cotton soaked in wax) are removed from the nostrils and ears. The next steps—it being under.tood that assistants are all this time engaged in rabbing the limbs—ara to pry cpen the rigid jaws and restore tho tongue to ita normal position: then to rub the cyelids with melted butter wntil they can be un- clozed, revealing the_glazed and mo- tionless cyeball. Finally, the hot cako on the tepcf the head is renewed. Tho heat_acting upon the rervous centres of respiration and circulation, the breast heaves witha convulsive throe, and the heart starts with a vio- lent pulsation, So many cases have been attested of this remarkable con- dition of simulated death that its facts are practically beyond dirpute. Now something of this kind would mako a real impre:sion; it has powerful dra- mattc features, and ifs physiol gy fur- nishes ample vergo for novel and or- al observations. CAUGHT BY THE CAMERA.

The woman put down ten cents and wentin. Jimmio Hannerty was in- ride and began turning the camera around. The woman looked in, but apparently took no interest in the pic- tures unfil a spot on Washington street was reached. “Now go slow,”’ she eaid, “‘you're getting near home.” Jimmy turaed the camera very thing worth stady. He begins by ab- ion from food during the day and taking a very reduced quantity at might.

He must refrain from epices, from all acids and acid preparations, and from all pungent ar- ticles except ginger. His carbona- ceous food is limited to rice and wheat, his nitrogeneous to milk and melted butter (ghrta), and as to the carbon hydrates, honey and sugar are wlone admiesible.

The young man said he could wait until the visitors got tired, and then she told her story: “You see that woman in that win- dow,” pointing to a lady sitting at an open window in a Washiugton avenue house, *‘Well, she’s red-headed, equint-eyed, lop-thouldered and has g0 astrawberry mark on her nose, anddo you think al s nearly as hand- some as me 1" The young mMat think it safo to award the apple to the Helon in the sun-picturc on the table before them. “Neither do 1,” continued the small and scraggy woman, *“But T've got a husband that doosn’t know beauty even when he rubs his nose againat it, and hasu’t an eye in his head that I'd givea two-cent piece for if T was buying eyes for an arlist.

Large crowds kept coming in and going out until after 5 o'clock, but the scraggy little woman remained. When she was alone with the lecturer he asked that the manager be called in and bought out the show for the rest of the afternoon. From 0:05 o'clock until nesrly 6 the camera re- flected the picture of the Washington avenue house with the woman at the window. The anxious little wife, the lecturer and Mr. McManus kept their eyes fastened on the picture. “T'll bet that's him,” sald George, a well dressed and gentlemanly ap: pearing man walked along the pave- ment. ““Yes, you bet that’s him,’ the woman, becoming intensely interested in the picture. “Look there, he lifts his hat,” eaid the manager. *‘And bows and smiles,” added the lecturer. “‘And that carroty-haired stiraction in the window smiledas if she'd eaten swhward Wheat—Trifle firmer and moderate trade; No. 1 white, September, 1 07{: No. 3 red, Au:ust, $107§; do September, 81 071G 08; do Octo- ber, $1 08}@l 08§.
