The milk dealers of Omaha will hold a meeting this evening to discuss the question of advancing prices on account of the con- dition of the weather, which has resulted in advancing the price of feed in a material degree. The cost of producing the lacteal fluld has been augmented by the lack of molsture and the heat has caused the cows to give less than, the average amount of milk. Cows ' cannot graze in the hot weather and the pastures are being de- stroyed, 8o that there Is a prospect of the dalrymen having to depend upon preserved food In the summer as well as In ghe winter and baving to house their stock from the eun's rays as well as from winter's storms. Several dalrymen have already advanced the price of milk from 5 cents to 6% cents | Per quart and there {s a probabllity of a further advance If the present l'nndlllunl continues, SOUTH DAKOTA'S SHOWERS Good Ratn Over Jim River Valley, but Other Sections Swelter.

BULLS GIVE WHEAT BOOST Tta Eminence is Not Long Retained, However, for It Tumbles When Corn Does. NEW YORK, July 24.—Wheat swung into prominence this morning by reason of a strong bull movement, which sent prices 1% cents higher at New York and 2% cents up in the northwest, where the weather 18 stlll uffavorable, being too hot. The most consplcuous feature, however, was heavy buying for European account, fol- lowing adverse crop reports from Russia and France, Toward noon corn broke shortly on rain news and wheat followed, dropping from 77 11-16 cents to 76% cents for September. Corn opened active at 1% cents, advanced on dry weather, but subsequently turned weak and lost it by midday. During the afternoon wheat was quiet and a trifle unsettled, owing to conflicting reports from the northwest on crop mat- ters, closing firm at 1%@1% conts net ad- vance.

A. Lovewell and J, H. Rhodes, claiming to be the legal sheriff and circult clerk of Mississippl county, Ar- kansas, were threatening to take posses- slon of the courthouse at Oscbola, which was held by armed followers of Sam Bowen and C. 8. Driver, also claiming to be sheriff and circult clerk respectively, was the re- port that reached Memphis today. Up to @ late hour tonight nothing has been re- celved from Osceola except a brief mes- sage trom a staff corrcspondent of the Com- merclal-Appeal, which sald that the re- ports of trouble had been greatly exag- gerated and that the town was quiet at 8 p. m. According to the report received in a roundabout way in the day the courthouse was barricaded and practically the entire town was under arms. It was sald that only the active eftorts of the peaceably disposed had ‘prevented an outbreak and that an appeal was to be made to glve Davis authority to put the county under martial law. The dispute over the possession of the shrievalty and clerkship arises, It is & through the.incumbents retusing to re ognize the reyocation of their commissions by the governor, following a decision by the supreme court adverse to them in a sult brought by Lovewell and Rhodes, who claimed they were legally elected sherift and clreult clerk, A report tonight says Sheriff Bowen and County Clerk Driver refused to vacate their offices, but that J. A. Lovewell and J. W. Rhodes, who were respectively appointed as their successors, upon being refused pos- session placed the matter in hands of lawyers; that there was some excitement among the partisans of the four men, but on Baturday it was agreed to allow the matter to go before the proper court. FOLLOW UP OMAHA CAPTURE Partner of Grant and Tiller, Postoflice Robbers, Caught at Havre, Montana. HELENA, Mont., July 24.—Willlam Miller, allas E. G. Grant, supposed to be one of the most notorious postoffice box robbers in the United States, was arrested by Post- office Inspector Salmon of Cinclnnatl and Deputy United States Marshal Michael Wall of Helena at Havre yesterday and brought here last night. When taken into custody Miller had nothing to say. Federal au- thorities are satisfled that they .have the man they have spent months in trying to ! locate, and belleve they have broken one of the boldest gangs that ever preyed on gov- ernment malls. The larger cities were selected tor flelds of operation. Cincinnati, Toledo, Cleveland and every other city nearby of equal or greater size, east and west recelved visits from the gang. After having a large force of postoffice inspectors on the trail of the gang for a long time arrests were finally made last spring in Omaha Two members of the gang, Prentiss Tiller and E. G. Grant, were taken into custody by officers. In Chicago they escaped, but Tiller was caught within a few days. and Grant was tracked to Buffalo, where he was arrested about a month later. Tiller and E. G. Grant were sentenced for five years. ,.—n D e R ...? Il [} A BUTTER HINT. (Sse Beluw.) seccccssce Why Use Cream With Your Grape-Nuts? AN OILY HABIT There are people who become ygeop- sciously addicted to.the butter habjt; that is to say, they Iike butter and gradually eat a lMttle more as the months go by, until they find they have consumed, each meal, quite a quantity of fat, that they have not vitality enoughi to properly digest This Irdigested substance causes more or less catarrh of the stomach and trouble with the bowels. The remedy, of course, is to largely cut down the aliowance of butter, and for two or three nights, sup nearly a quart of very hot water, just before golng to bed. This washes out the stomach and bowels and gives them renewed vitality. Then the per- son should, for a few mornings at least, rely on good, rich cream, with Grape-Nuts, for breakfast, letting out the butter al- together.

PITTSBURG, July 2{.—Two mov it 1 reported, were made by the aggressiv: officlals of the American Sheet Steel com pany today toward the breaking of strike. the nonunlon men, who have been em ployed Ju the Vandergrift mills of the com pany; to Wellsvilla to assist In. the stert the men were to be sent to Wellsville dur. there after dark. suppressed excitement pervading Wells. ville, which at any moment may break ou Into a serious coudition. offcia and ready for any emergency. The Im. pression is strong tonight that eral officers of the United States Steel corporation have become determined on the subject of an early breaking of the strike and to ultimately force the operation of all the idle plants. The second movement this afternon l»‘ reported to be the starting of the long| idle Hyde Park plant of the American | Sheet Steel company. This piant was taken | into the comblnation burdened with ob-| Jectionable contracts made by the former owners and has remained idle since. The long idleness of this mill has caused most of the men formerly employed there to leave Hyde Park for other places and the | company believes there would be less difi- | culty in starting this plant than where the Amalgamated assoclation has control. Important Developments Expect: It is apparent in Pittsburg this ‘evening that fresh and dectdedly Important develop- ments in the strike of ‘the steel workers were about to take place. At the Amal- gemated assoclation headquarters the two leading officials of the assoclation were absent during the greater part of the day. It was stated that President Shaffer was Away on personal business and had noth- ing in hand concerning the strike. The absence of Secretary John Willlams was also accounted for In the same manner. Conference A Mystery. The conference held on Tuesday night, which kept President Shaffer and Secretary Willlams out until early this morning, re- mains as mysterious as before. Nelther of these officials would give out any idea of what had taken place aside from stating positively that they had not met any of the offictals of the United States Steel corpor tlon. Whatever the object of the meeting, | it is belleved to have been continued today and much of importance is expected to be developed from the conference. The. question of the manufacturers se- curing injunctions against the Amalgamated | assoclation was dlscussed guardedly during | the day. Secretary McTighe sald he did not- think the measure would be resorted to at this stage, even If it was contem- plated for a later day. There was practi- cally no cause for such a measure and if there was he doubted if under the condi- tlons that exist at present the courts would grant such orders. Particularly is this the case in Pennsylvania. In Ohlo President Shaffer {s sald to feel confident that such Injunctions would mot be gramted. Those best acquainted with the feelings of the manufacturers eay there {s, in their opinfon, | litthe cause for belleving that such measures will be resorted to at this time. No More Union Milla, The Post tomorrow will say: That mys- terious conference, which was attended by | President T. J. Shaffer of the Amalgamated | assoclation and Secretary John Willlams | on Tuesday night, promises to bring about | a change In the situation of the 8.e:] work- ers' strike i a few days. It |s under- stood that a movement has been started by the Amalgamated officials for a setile- ment of the difficulty by furcher confer- ence with the officials of the steel cor- poration, This latter movement i3 said to have heen Inaugurated on Tuesday when President Shaffer ahd retary Willlams held a four hours' conference with other persons at the Lincoln hotel. | M.
