Information Given by One of the| Passengers—Attracted by Her Youth and Strange Actions. At last what seems a definite clew to the whereabouts of Eva Hess, the young girl who suddenly disappeared from s0 | this city a short time ago, has been ob- talned. It promises to determine where the girl is either in hiding with her own | volition or being hidden by her abductors. The information comes from a passen- ger who salled aboard the Walla Walla on the last trip made by the vessel to British Columbia. He claims that he can positively identify her, as he especial notice of her. He the day the vessel salled he noticed the sing girl in company with another girl, also of immature years. He remarked to a nuriber of friends at the time that the girl was unusually young to take such a journey, practically alone and unpro- tected, her only escort apparently being the young girl who accompanied her. When asked as to whether an older per- as with her, the informant was at » declare himself positively, as he n no other companion except the uluded to. What attracted the attention of fellow- passengers to oung traveler was that she seemed unusually restless and en- deavored at every opportunity to inter- mingle with the merrymaki on board ing and dance as if me otner reason d Her every action was the steamer and were afraid, or f liked to be ‘alone e in the extreme, and it is now 1t that she either repented her folly after she boarded the steamer or | was fearful that some one would recog- nize her and po: prevent her from landing at Victoria. rom the description given, the girl 1s, ond a doubt, Kva Hess. As the steamer neared Victoria informant who furnished the present clew decided to watch the girl and ascertain where she went after going ashore. As the wharf was approached it was noticed that th rl began to scan its _entire ngth, evidently expectant of gaining a ght of some one to wr ted and whom she was to accompany ving the boat. Upon landing she immeds woman, the same undoub: that_s was restle about meeting.

The mother of the girl has placed her confidence and hope for the recovery of the girl in the hands of Dorn & Dorn, the attorneys. The police are still gearching, but blindly and without a tangible clew to Work upon. GRAIN MARKET ACTIVE DURING THE PAST WEEK WHEAT WAS IN DEMAND AT FULL PRICES. Barley Sold Above Its Actual Value. Corn Tried to Advance but With Little Effect. Wheat prices here have been fairly ac- tive durlng the past week, December sell- ing from $1 23% to $1 15%, closing on Sat- There has been a fair urday at $1 17%. 8 : demand for spot at full prices. English markets have rather favored buyers. Milling demand at home has been good yet not urgent. Washington and Oregon offerings have been somewhat restricted. Farmers continue to hold their crops, selling about enough to keep the market moderately supplied. The Oriental de- mand for flour continues to increase. Continental and European bids are out of the question, inasmuch as there is little | or no wheat In California for export, at least for the present. Local operators are disposedto favor the short side on rallies,,sometimes pressing their bets on declines, generally resulting in a quick reaction forcing shorts to cover at & loss, The market responds to bull news very easily, showing the nervous- ness of the market. There appears a strong under-current to the market which may soon show itself more fiercely. It be- ns to look as if wheat prices have seen about bottom for the present at least. Barley has been king for the past, month, Decémber going to $1 26%. The enthusiasm of the corner crowd was bad- ly warped during the latter part of the week when it was given out that the rall- road rates had been sufficiently reduced to admit of the importing of Eastern barley to California. There i8 now en route one train load of twenty cars of barley destined to California points. An- other consignment of thirty-six cars Is now being loaded. The free movement of oats from Oregon and Washington consti- tutes another factor of weakness in bar- ley. The time of delivery is repidly ap- proaching those who have been holding on to long barley bought around $135 to 140. These will be disappointed as they ave never wanted thé actual stuft—dif- ferences was their goal. It surely looks as if they would get real differences in- stead. %arley is the one commodity selling above its actual worth. Such conditions are unnatural and cannot prove success- ful. December barley at $120 will look dear within ten days’ time. The Chicago wheat market during the week has shown considerable strength in cents to 63% cents on Friday. Phe trade is inclined to take the long side around 62 cents. The good foreign and home consumptive demand keeps well apace with offerings. "The Northwest receipts are gradually growing less, showing a falr sized de- Srease as compared with last year. This does not argue of a small crop, rather that holders are not selling and will not until more favorable prices are offered. Indications would suggest 60 cents the low point this crop year. While no material Bdvance may come at present,the chances are favorable to a gradual upward tend- ency. The Government re{)ort on Monday Wlllyprobably reaflirm its last review. Comn seems trying hard to advance. The queerest of all things is the bullish- ness of professional traders who have had their horns on for two years and in no way do they seem able to bolster up the price. Arguments of the most convincing character are given out, yet corn hovers around 30 cents. The Government Agri- cultural Department estimates the crop of 1868 at 1,900,000,000 bushels, the Cincin- nat{ Price Current, 150,000,000, and the average bull speculators claim these esti- mates are about 300,000,000 too high. Who ever is right there seems plentge to go around for present wants. bbers are talking bullish and selling freely, showing they have every confidence in getting their money out of thelr holdings so that speculators may receive some benefit. e situation is one that does not argue well for any materfal advance. Provigions have had a hard time fight- ing yellow fever, which must soon cease. January short ribs are considered yery cheap. Packers are quletly buyli on declines, trying not to affect prices. Re- ceipts of hogs must soon show a large on Tuesday, ugn the | m she had been | v joined a‘ decrease. Hog products are low and can- not be manufactured at prices now in effect. R. E. MULCAHY. CONNOLLY BENEFIT. It Drew a Large Crowd to Union Square Hall. An entertalnment was given at Union- square Hall last night under the auspices of El Dorado Parlor No. 62 of the Native Sons of the Golden West, the ,South End Rowing Club and Golden Gate Council No. 34 of the Young Men's Institute, for the benefit of the parents of the late Dantel D. Connolly, a popular oarsman and singer. Alfred J. Fritz, Democratic nominee for Justice of the Peace, acted as_master of ceremonies. The programme contained twelve num- bers, but, for the convenience of the per- formers, the order of these was some- what changed. After an overture by Grennan's orchestra the Columbian quar- | tet—J. C. Flood, first tenor; F. A. Gri fing, second tenor; J. C. O'Donnell, first bass; and 8. J. Daly, second bass—opened the entertainment with glees. Then fol- lowed a vocal solo by Mrs. E. W. Burns, a fancy dance by Violet Hanna, and "My Honolulu Lady' by John Cathcart. Fred Lew ave a graceful exhibition of club swinging, the hail being darkened and the clubs enveloped in flames. A sailor dance by Miss Ida Bradbury, a vocal solo | by A. F. Medley, an excellent clog dance | by the Kavanaugh sisters, a recitation in Swedish-English by Joseph Hansen, and a song by Willlam Donaidson led up to the last item on the programme—a three- round boxing contest between R. Mc- Arthur and Frank McConnell. The boxers set to with a will and gave a very lively exhibition. After the entertainment, which was remarkably well attended, the floor was cleared for dancing. THE COMING INDUSTRY OF VENTURA COUNTY | e ot | BEET SUGAR FACTORY ERECTED AT OXNARD. | All the Farmers Are Getting Mag- | nificent Returns From Small Acreage Seeded Last Season. C. Leonardt of Los Angeles, now stop- ping at the Palace, gives some valuable information in regard to the present status of sugar-beet growing in Ventura County. He is more especially interested in the recently completed factory at Ox- nard, of which he is one of the con- actors. ‘“The new factory,” he sald, “is both designed and constructed by the Oxnard Construction Company of New York. It is 100 feet in height, over 400 feet long and feet wide. It is constructed entirely of brick and steel with expanded metal, fire- proof floors. A large power house, up- right and rotary lime kilns, a four-story brick office building and a beet shed cap- able of receiving 2000 tons of beets, com- pose what is, in every way, & model plant —the equal, T believe, of dnything of its kind in either this country or in Europe. It cost $1,500,000 and when running full- Dlast will give employment to about 400 men."” | "“‘How about this season’s crop?” he was asked. “Splendid, but small In the aggregate. I must explain. Owing to the light rain- | fall of last winter the farmers. generally, were exceedingly apprehensive in regard to this season's crops, and did but little planting. The small average which was planted, however, gave magnificent re- ults, proving conclusively that su beets do not require as much moisture mokt growers belleve In one instance thirty acres put in by a farmer named Rose )'l(‘]del{) about thirty tons to the acre, from which he will clear, over and above all expenses of cultivation, nearly $3000. A. Carr, who rented 100 acres of | good beet land, agreeing to give one quar- | ter of his crop to the owner of the land, cleared uP as his share $5500. Charles | Dunlan also got \'er%_nlarge returns from what he planted. ese men were all obliged to ship their beets to Chino this year, but willdn future patronize the new plant. - | " “The beets this year ylelded from $4 to $5 per ton, according to their saccharine | character. There are 40,000 acres avalil- able for the cultivation of the beets. | ““Now, as perhaps you may imagine little is ‘thought of but the sugar beet, of which the factory will handle about 200,000 tons next seaso but every dollar em- barked in the industry is of greater bene- | fit to the country than if it were Invested | in the Philippines or Cuba. I believe in | keeping money at home.” | _— LECTURE BY FATHER YORKE. The Last Prcbably Beiore His De- parture for Europe. The League of the Cross will celebrate the birthday of Father Mathew, the apostle of temperance, next Monday evening in Metropolitan Hall.

Ths Independent Order of Odd Fellow soidiers’ relief committee has rendered a finul acceunt of what it did to assist the soldter Odd F'ellows who were mobilized in this city. The amount contributed in cash by the varfous lodges, subordinates and Re- bekahs, which followed the example set by Loyal Rebexah Lodge, which started the fund on the 24th of May last with a donation of $68, was $569 95, to which was added $5122 as Individual contributions. This was all expended for the benefit of the soldiers. The ladies of the several lodges made up 467 flannel bands, 337 emergency bands, 771 flannel caps, 359 three-link identifica- tion badges and 72 Pocket pin cases.
