Grain shippers said that corn is now to high for export, and the only sales made were small lots to New Eng- land. Wheat, however, continued to go for- ward, although not so rapidly as it was ar- riving In Caicago and stocks are piling un in the elevators. ‘Lhe forward moveme it of rye 18 now heavier than it has beon for & long time. The market would not stand tne amount of tonnage thrown upon it, and rates doclined to 214 cents in wheat and 21§ cents on corn to Buffalo. To Goorgian Bay tho rate has been fixad at 17{ cents ou corn. The drop in Buffalo rates wili not continuo long, &8s vesselmen are anxious to averta per- manent collapse before grain begins to move in September. NO TINMR PO RELICS, A proposition has been made to exhibit at the world’s fair the log cabin in which ( eral Grant lived before he moved to Galena. T'he cabin stood on the Deut farm, ten miles from St. Louis, and was built by General Grant shortly after his marriage. Thus far the exposition management has given no en- couragement to relics. It has been asked to purchase, among othor things, the first custom nHouse ever constructed in America, the log cabin built by Abrabam Lincoln, & fac simile of tho Hermitaze, Andrew Jack- son’s former home, tho*house used by (ien- eral Grant for headquarters at the time Leo surreudered, the gun which *Deadwood Dick” of Texas carried before he was killed, and dozens of othor relics. None have been accepted, It has been stated, however, that if whe owners of these relics wished to pay for tho privilege of having them on tho grounds, they might receive some attention. BASH, DOOR AND BLIND MEN. A special meeting of the Sash, Door and Blind Association of the Northwest was held yosterday at the 'remont. The attempt made some months ago to form a trust has been abandoned, taero being too much lum- ber ou the market and no bottom to prices. The session was devoted to tho preparation of @ schedule of grades for various qualitics of lumber. SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT RESIGNS. Superintendent Howland of the Chicago public schools hus handed in his resignation to the Board of Education. He bas been connected with the Chicago school systom for thirty-thres years and his action has created a deal of surprise. His friends say the action was taken to securo a uceded rest, but trouble growing out of a contro- versy between Superintendent Howland and ono of the principals of a Hyde Park school is believed to bave u great deal to do with it. PROFICIENT STUDENT LIFE SAVERS. Lieutenant H. B. Rogers, the inspector of the United States life saving stations in the Bleventh district, made his annual inspection of the Northwestern university life saving orew at Kvanston yesterday. 'The last and most interesting drill was tho capsizing and righting of a big lifoboat. The Evanston orew, which is composed of iideawake swudents in the university, invented a method last year by which the boat can now be righted in incredibly short tima, It con- sists of a system of leverago with ropes attached to either side of the boat, a very simple contrivance. Such an arrangement, Captain_ Lawson claims, would have pro- vented the loss of the keeper of the Ariel station last spring, who slipped off the bot- tom of his capsized boat in a storm. The crew capsized and righted the.r boat yestor- day three times before luspector Rogers and alargo crqwd, Tho best record was forty- two seconds. 'The inspector said that if ho nad been told that it could have been done in that time he would not have belioved it, and added they would doubt his report on the record at Washington. He complimented the crew on their splendid condition and superior showing. The members of this crow aro Captain L. O. Lawson and soven uni- versity students—Messrs. 'rank M. Kindi 1i Fowler, W. M. Ilwing, J. A. Loining, W. « Wilson, W. R. Holt and W. W. Wilkinson, EX-POSTMASTER JUDD VERY FEEBLE. 5. Corning Judd, postmaster of Chicago duriog the Cleveland administration and prominent in democratic councils, is in a very feeble condition at a atarium in Kenosha, Wis., and whilo he himself has hopes of his ultimate recovery, they are not shared by any ot hus friends. His trouble is rheumatism and it has goue as far as possi- ble and the sufferer yot lives. His mind 1s clear and active, but his limbs are absolutely useless, WORK OF MEAT INSPECTION. Secrotary Rusk has given out the report of Prof. Michaels,in charge of the microscopical station in Chicago, regarding the work of that station inspecting pork for trychinae. Prof. Michaels says the plan on which the work was carriod out was that of Dr. D. V. Salmon, chief of the bureau, and was foand to work admirably, The manner in which the examination is made has already been detailed in these dispatches. Prof. Michaels calls attention to the opening for women amade by this work for which they are often better adapted than men. Thoso already seloctod, ho says, huve proven, “‘without a single exception, to bo successful manipu- ators of the microscope, delicate and retined 4n their work, and thoroughly reliavle.” The meat inspection establishment to bo established in Omaha during the cowing month, Prof, Michaels says, will be modeled on that in Chicago. Other stations will bo established as rapidly as large dealers find it to their interest to secuce this government Jnspection. Prof. Michaols ventured tho statement that the prasent government in- spection of meats is the most thorough that has over been attempted. YUNDS FOR THF PATI. . Troasurer Secberger of the World's fair was agroeably surprised this morning by the recelpt of a $20,000 check. It came from the Cyrus H. McCormick Harvestor compauy and was the full payment for its 2,000 shares, “If these payments continue to come in with rogalarlty, W romurked the treasurer, it will not be long bofore we can call upon the city of Chicago for its £,000,000 of bonds.” Chief Buchanan of the agricultural depart- ment is making preparations for one of the largest cotton and cotton manufucture dis- plays that was ever seen. All of tho leading cotton growers and operators-of the south ~~-ure in correspondence with world's fair ofii- clals and they are making great promises.

Hagoopiun took out their first naturalization papers today. ‘They want the government to assist them in bringing their wives over, as under the law of tho sultan none of his subjects are allowed to emigrate and the penalty for attempting to do so is death. These three escaped by stealth. They were reforrod to the State de- partment at Washington, MUST BLEVATE CHICAGO TRACKS. ‘The special council committee appointed to visit the principal eastern cities and investi- te the subject of olevated railway terminal ave decided that all roads running into Ci cago must elovate their tracks and will sub- mit a report to this offect at the next meeting of the councll.

The Douglas County Agricultural socioty wili throw open its gates on August 31 to its cloventh annual fair and exhibition, waich tho managers promiso will be of unusual in- terest, Particular attention is being given to county and district fairs all over the state this season with an eye to Nebraska's ex- hibit to the World's Columbian exhibition in 1503, The State Board of Agriculture has sent out instructions to all agricultural soc eties in the staté to commence making t selections from among their products that may go towards forming a nucleus for tho wrand exhibition Nebraska expacts to make at the World’s fair. For this reason al tue Douglas county falr directors expact to have an unusually attractive exhibit. Added to this is the assurauce for a bounti- ful crop, which increases the pride and eu- thusiasm of the agricultural exhibitors. The managors of the society living in the country are working assiduously and say they will wake a large display. The merchants and manufacturers of Omaha also promiso to con- tribute largely and will ill the various halls with their choicest productions. ‘The purses to bo hung up on the racing track aro vory large, and are tompting the staoles ail over the conntry. The south will be well represented by soma of its best horses, as will Illinois, Ohio and the east. Nearly #3500, with two §1,000 purses. will be contested for. On Thursday, September 3, parses to the amount of 31,050 will be up and some of the crack horses promise to be after thom. This will be the great racing day of the season, and the management expents to entertain a large crowd of spectators. So far ninety entries lave beon made for the speed purses, and this does not include the runners wno do not mako their entries until the day before their respective races. An unusually fine fiela of runners is oromised. A fulllist of the entries in the different races will be pub- Lished by the society today. It is a well known fact that Douzlas couaty excels In the breeding and exhibition of live stock, and somo entries of very choice stock have already boen made. Mr. John Baumer. tha secretary of the society, speaking of the fairsays: “[am happy to say that the prospects for a suc- cessful fair this fall are very promising. Wo are going to have a very large and choice ox- hibit of the products of Douglas county and Omaba will also make o good display. Our racing season will be the best in years, and if the weather is propitions we shall have the best fair Douglas county has had for years.” Well, Sarah, what have you beon doing to take you look so young!

Graxp [staxp, Neb, Aug. 27.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: The statement of Mr. Holdrege under date of August 24, inst., in reply to your editorial of previous date, urging the lowering of freight rates for Ne- braska, is us usual chiefly remarkablo for what it does not say. He uses these words: ““The railroads of this state have not for sev- eral years earned a reasonable rate of inter- est on actual value.” WoulaMr. Holdrege, befng a gentleman of strict. truth and veracity, dare to leave out the word ‘valuo” aud 'substitute the word net “cost” to the buildors and munagers of tho lines? ‘That appeal to the sympathies of the un- initiated to preserve reasonable annual reve- nues on values has beon repeated till the sing-song has becomo monotonous. Years ago, when the parent line, the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quimcy, in Tilinols was compelled by “granger legislation” to lower its passenger fares from 41f cents to 3 conts per mile, and freight rates in propor- tion, Mr. Robert Harels, thon presi- dent, appealea to sympathy by saying: ~*The ruling rates of intérest on money, gentlemen, are not lower than 10 per cent por anuum at the present time. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road is making only 5 per cont per annum. s this fair(" Mr. Harris, beiag a careful Christian gen- tlomun, carofully avoided any referenco to the fact that his road was clearing 3 per cont per annum on three times the cost of the property, saying nothing of tho almost illim- itable future of the property for increas earnings, which 1ncreased carnings bav been ever since enjoyed to the fullest extent. Railways are declared by the laws and the courts to be public highways, and as_su they are as much a logitimate subject of pub- lic inquiry relative to not cost and anaual revenues as the cost of public butldings and disbursements from the public treasuries, No government ownorship need be looked and waited for in order to contiol absolutely all just and equitable annual revenues upon every doliar actually expended by private en- terprise. Publicity as to truthful cost and details of management of public bighways is the expo- h may bo applied immediately to n of the vexed quastion of extor- tionate charges of common carriers, ALFRED CLARK. 2L A very small pill, but & vory good one DeWitt's Littio Early Risers. e — Westerners in New York.

Wyo.. Aug. 27.—[Special Telo- gram to Tre Brr.|-—Frank Malbourne, tho rain artist, arrived here from Canton, O, today and is ready at any timo to show what he can do. Some time ago a circular lotter was received from him by Governor Barver, and this letter was published in tho local papers. The subject naturally oxcited a good deal of Interest here and nogotiations wore at oncaentered into to secure the presence of the rainmaker here. He wanted $150 to do- fray the expenses of himself and his assist- ant, the money to be paid only whon the ex- perimonts had been carried out to tho satis- faction of a committea of the subscribers. The monoy was quickly rawsed and tho result of it was Molvourae's arrival here this morning. Melbourne is a tall, slonder, pale- faced man with a studious cast of counte- nance and a rathier pronounced Irish brogue, Ho1s an [rishman by birth, but has spent the past twelve years in Australia. Ho is evidently a man of very good education. Chemistry has long been his hobby while his ploasure has been found in making experi- ments, His discovery of his ability to pro- duce raiu, he says, was entirely accidental. Durine a severe drouth in Australia, he claims to have made a dozon successtul tests. Afterwards, he made fivo succossful experi- ments in Now Zealand. Ho bas been in this country only a few months and has made his headguarters at Canton, O. He made threo successful experiments ‘thore. Regarding those which were not successful ho says he wasn't in them. Tho local papers got to appointing days for rain on their own accord. On_these occasions many people naturaily looked for the down pour but it never came, This was not his fault as ho advertised no oxperiments on such days and he made none. This, he says, accounts for the alleged failure. Melbourne looks forward to his success as a mattor of course. He is willing to try tho experiment at any time or under any circum- stances that the commitiee may sugeost. Ho lenves the time entirely m their hands, The weuther here has been threatening and rainy for several days, consequently the exveri- ments will bo postponed until such timo as the weathor is_perfectiy clear. The experi- ments will be conducted under a_committea composed of Andrew Gilehrist, president of the Stock Growers' bank, C. P. Organ and ex-Governor Baxter, all'of whom ara heavy land owners in this vicinity and deeply intor- ested in the outcome of the artiticial rain. Melbourne claims that he can pro- cipitate moisture over a region of 500 square miles or less, just as required. His invention is not patented but the ingredients are not expensive. What thev are, 15 his secret. He says he wants to demonstrate bevond dispute that he can pro- duce rain at will, then he will sell his secret to the national government. If he fails in this, he will try the state governments of the arid regions and if they will uot take the watter up he will sell_his secret to corpor- ations in certain prescribed regions. Melbourne is a modest, unassuming man and he has favorably impressed everybedy bio has met. The experiment will 0o tried in the stable in the rear of K. H. Jones' resi- dence here and wlll be eagerly awaited by Cheyonne people. ATHER W, PEKTS.

Fun Had by Two Railroad Clerks with a Guileless Broncho. Mr. C. McKenzie, chief clork in the gen- eral passenger oftico of the Union Pacific, is the owner of a broncho which resembles Bret Harte's Cainaman, in being peculiar. Mr. McKenzio boarded the hurricane deck of the critter Wednesday evening and, opening the throttle, pulled out for Walnut Hill, In the course of events ho reached tho residence of J. C. Poor, a co-laborer in the general pas- senger office. Dismountin,« from his fiery, untamed steod Mr. KcKenzie was about to run the beast onto a sidetrack and “pull tha fire" when his evil genius prompted him to ask Mr. Poor it he dian’t want to ride. It was then pitch dark and the moon had not shed her light upon the scene. 'The gaso- line street lamps were lurgely conspicuous for their blackness, and Mr. Poor thought he might venture. Ho had not straddled a horse for lo! these many yoars, but the treacherous little beast looked so 'quict and docile that he hesitated. Wiile ho was he: itating he rested one hand on the pony’s neck and put his foot on the near stizrup. The brute edged away and Mr. Poor caught tho suddlo ~with his right band, rais- ing bis foot from the ground. The pony know his business and started on a_run towards tho railroaa track with Mr. McKen- zie in hot pursuit. Every step made by the pony was accentuated by a loud grunt’ from Mr, Poor who was hauging on for dear life, Suddenly there was a louder grunt than usual accompaniod byn “d— s t—," und Mr, MeKenzio fell neadlong over the' prostrate form of Mr. Poor who was firmly imbedded in the mud. A long and careful search failed 10 reveal the broncho, and a thorough search of the neighborhood by daylignt yesterday was also futile. Even ‘the ubiquitous poundmaster did not fiud him, and up to date his where- abouts is a myste Mr. McKenzie is very anxious to recover the pony and the saddls “and has offered &° reward for their return tohim, FIG TERs 1 COURT. Chance for Cinching a Pair of Pro- fessional Bruisers. Judge Helsley's court was well filled yos- terday altornoon with a crowd of dead game sports, who gathered to hear tho trial of Garduer and Coridan, the two sluggers who fought at Rothery’s pluce a few nights ago. Tho men were charged with prize fighting. County Attorney Manoney prosecuted the case. A long list of witnesses were examined. They were all hostile to the prosecution, and it took » good deal of expert pumping o got any information atall out of thom. A printed invitation, which stated tnat a twenty-round contest for $100 would take place, was also offered in evidence, ‘The attorney for the defense tried to show thut the fight was only a four-round frieudly contest under Londou rules and did not come under the statute for prize fighting. County Attorney Matoney read irom the statutes and showed that a promeditated fight or contest was punishable by law, and that it would do no €ood for the defense to DUt 10 OXpert testimony, as was their inten tion, 10 prove that the ' contest was not fight. Judge Helsloy will give a decision at 4 p. m. today.

Tho express companies charged 75 cents on £1,000 for shipping currency from the east to the west, and when tho demand began to come Into the New York banks from the western cities for monoy to move the great crops, all the shipments were at first made that way. The eastera banks of course sont legal tonders to their westorn correspon- dents, Then Secretary Fostor caused itto be mado known to the western banks that the treasury department would ship money to any part of tho west for 15 cents per 81,000, Therefore the western banks accompanied every drafton Now York with an order to ship through the Treasury department. When the New York banks went to the sub-treas- ury in Wall street to doposit the money for shipment, they found to their surprise that Assistant Treasurer Roberts insisted upon the deposit of gold coin or gold cortificates. When asked if the troasury had issued any order to that effect, Mr. Roborts admitted that thore haa been 1o official ordor, but, he said, It was tho practice.”” Tho'bankers called Mr, Roberts' attention to the faet that it was on entirely new practice to insist upon a1l gold for such shipments, but the assistant treasurer was obdurate. The bankers protosted, but thero was no belp for them. The reSult has been that overy New York bank which nas received during the last_two mouths an ordor for cur- rency to supply o western bank, has been obliged to deposit against it either gold coin or gold cortificates in the sub-treasury in Wall street. ‘Ihen the governmen., instead of sending the gold to the west, has simpy put it in the vaults and sent out & telegraphio order to the sub-treasury at Chicago, or tho nearest government depository to tho bank wanting this money, to transmit to tho bank legal tendor. S0 successful has this policy boen that the gold reserves intho national treasury have increased about $12,000,000 in adout six weeks, On June 30, the supply of gold in the treasury agerogatod §117,66 At present the total is §12! Meantimo the gold roserves i New York banks have fallen so low through this strong drain thal many bank officers have becomne somewhat alarmed. Thero has been a good deal of grumbling within the last week, and _inasmuch as thoro Was no inmeaiato prospect of decronse in the demands for currency from the west, thero have been several informal conforences in bank parlors to determine what concorted ac- tion the banks might take in tho way of re- prisal upon the secrotary of the treasury. There is no doubt that serious action by the bankers in that direction would have beon attemuted had it not been for the action of Secretary Foster yosterday. He had kept his eye upon the New York banks. He pri vately communicated with the national treasurer, and yesterday when bankers sent to the sub-trensury to make their currency shipmonts to tho wost tioy wers surrised and pleased to be informed by the suave Mr. oberts that the “‘practice” of the depart- ment had been changed and that the treasury would accept half gold and half legal tenders. This concession satisfied_the New York bankers for the time beiug. It has put a stop for the present to the talk about a systematic combination of tho baukers against the sce- retary of tho troasury. In financial circles vesterday it was admitted that Mr. Foster has baen very shrewd and has fairly out- witted the New Yorl banks. peertish enn iy THREE SHOTS FIRED.
