SCARCITY OF LABOR.
E. U. . Dun & tia Says It is Causing
Uneasiness.
New York, Oct. 13 R. G. Dun & Co.'s
SVeekly Review of Trade says:
Mure seasonable weather has import
ant intluence throughout the country,
but the coal strike continued as a restraining-
factor in business. As specu
lation everywhere is on a small scale,
the effect is minimized. Lower prices
recently for some iron products have
been without disturbing force and the
firm market for print cloths and strong
quotations for lumber show that in some
directions in the great industries a small
increase in demand is capable of raising
prices The situation still promises a re
covery when politics and the strike are
Fettled. Distribution of merchandise at
the west is still very active. The work
ins force is increasing steadily and in
railroad and manufacturing- circles in
the middle west scarcity of labor is
causing uneasiness. Fear of tight
money has made some hesitate, but
higher rates result from the activity of
the movement of cotton at high prices
in the south. At the moment the move
ment of gold from Europe has tended to
relieve the tension in New Tork and gold
is still coming from Australia.
Pis iron production has been further
reduced, according to the Iron Age. On
October 1 the weekly capacity of fur
naces in blast was 223.160 tons, against
231,778 September 1, and 296.3.6 June 1.
Stocks at furnaces continue to accumu
late, gaining 36.841 tons in September.
A gratifying feature is the evideneethat
supplies in consumers' hands are light.
Quotations of iron products are steady,
and foreign buying continues, two con
tracts of importance being placed. Pipe
makers are buying quantities of pig.
while car and ship builders are also ur
gent bidders for material.
Much disappointment was apparent
among cotton traders when the official
crop report appeared, for the anticipa
tion of a gloomy report had put the
price up to 11 cents. When the state
ment indicated a point improvement in
Texas in September prices dropped
Bharpiy. Wheat also declined -without
the aid of a government report. Do
mestic conditions are generally satisfac
tory and foreign crop news cheerful.
Corn remains steady in the face of the
decline in condition. Foreign buying is
small. Atlantic exports in two -weeks
amounttwl to 4,831.878 bushels, against 6,
177,148 bushels last year. Shipments of
Iwots and shoes from Boston, at the
rate of !sS.415 cases weeklv, mean the
most active business since April and ex
ceed the heavy forwarding of last year.
Improvement is general, with orders
from all parts of the country and fre
quent requests for immediate shipment.
The signs that excessive accumulations
have become distributed are encourag
ing. Leather is sharing- in the increased
activity at the shops and the average
price of hides at Chicago advanced
per cent. Sales of -wool at the three
chief eastern markets steadily increased,
reaching 3.974. 0X pounds, against 3.41.
265 the preceding week. There is no
Fvch speculation as a year ago, but the
sales go immediately in mills. Prices
were not affected by lower figures at the
London sales which had been discounted.'
Failures for the week were 223 in the
Vnited States, against 164 last year, and
32 in Canada, against 27 last year.
APACHE GHOST DANCE.
It "Will Bo Held at Auditorium Oc
tober 25.
The committee on seating the Audi
torium have arranged for an Indian
war and ghost dance on October 25 by a
band of wild Comanche and Apache In
dians. Some of the Indians formerly
belonged to old Geronimo's band, that
committed so many depredations in
Arizona and New Mexico years ago, and
defied the whole United States army as
well as the Mexican army for years.
Old Geronimo and his band were finally
captured in the mountains of old Mex
ico by General Crook.
Geronimo and his band were sen
tenced to life imprisonment and sent to
the Dry Tortugas, where they remained
for many years. They were finally re
leased after Geronimo was too old and
infirm to do any further mischief and
sent to the Comanche and Kiowa reser
vation in the extreme southwest corner
of Oklahoma. Their agent has con
sented to let a band of the best dancers
came to Topeka to entertain us in the
new Auditorium. The dances will be
wild and weird in the extreme, and will
be the best entertainment of its kind
ever given in the country.
The price of admission has not yet
been determined by the committee, but
it will undoubtedly be within the reach
of alL A portion of the Auditorium, will
be reserved.
Trade "Witii Transvaal Reopens.
Chicago, Oct. 13. Shipment of mining
machinery to South Africa has been re
sumed from this city. Thousands of dol
lars worth of machinery which couid
not be delivered because of the Boer war
is now going forward. One of the mem
bers of an iron firm in speaking of the
present prospects in South Africa said:
''Orders from that country are coming
n again and the indications are that the
Transvaal will soon enter upon an era
of prosperity, such as it has never
known before. We are already crowded
with orders and the plant is running to
its fuil capacity."

WRIGHT TO CALL MEETING.
Good Roads Workers and Commer
cial Clubs to Meet.
John K. Wright, of Junction City,
president of the Federated Commercial
Clubs of Kansas and the State Good
Roads association, was seen by a State
Journal reporter at the Copeland hotel
last evening.
He said: "I will call a joint meeting, of
the two associations for Topeka about
the middle of January. This will be dur
ing the opening of the legislature, and
we hope to get a bill favorable to good
roads through this legislature.
"T have a committee who will look
through the statute books and discover
the laws bearing upon this subject, and
a bill will be prepared which will be pre
sented to this meeting of delegates from
all over the sate and any changes rec
ommended will be considered and made
if necessary. Upon the adoption of this
bill by the delegates it will be pre
sented in the legislature and the dele
gates while they are in the city will
lobby with the representatives from
their district for the passage of the bill.
There is no doubt but that favorable
legislation will be passed at this ses
sion." ARNOLDS CLOSE TONIGHT.
Erminie Pleased the Audience Ira
Diavolo Tonight.
Tuneful" "Erminie," ever popular with
lovers of comic opera, was the bill pre
sented by the Arnold Opera company at
the Grand opera house last night. It
was presented in pleasing fashion and
sung very creditably. In competition
w ith a big political rally, with its parade,
bands, drums and elaborate fireworks,
both shooting skyward and blazing ir.
the free and unlimited air, as well a3
oratorical pyrotechnics trying to lift the
roof off the Auditorium from within, the
opera attendance prospered second best.
The parquet was well filled, however,
and demanded several encores.
The charm and ease of Miss Welbefs
singing gave to the title role a neat
finesse. Robert and Jack, the two vaga
bonds, were as amusing as ever. Jhn
J. Raffael was the leader of the rascally
twain. His exemplification of Robert
Maccair's daring and dignity, while a
trifle self-contained, was capable and his
deep baritone was pleasingly heard in
fMlvr. v

his solos. Jacques, the funny Jacques,
cringing and weak, with a propensity to
spoil everything, was assigned to Dan
Young and he extracted enough laughs
out of the part to go the limit.
The tenor Jules Clugette could not
sing. He was cast for Leon and his place
was filled by Mr. Connors.
The "Goodnight Chorus" by the entire
company showed its combined singing
strength to a pleasing degree. The ten
der Mother's Lullaby, as sung by
Erminie and the company holds its
place as the favorite of years. Miss
Walker tripped through the lilting duet
of "When Love Was Young" delightfully
also. Jacques' "Dicky-bird" is still doing
business in the prophecy line. It has had
a long run for a topical song- but it was
good for an encore.
The Arnold company sung the "Mas
cot" at the matinee today. Their suc
cessful Torreka engagement closes this
evening with the presentation of "Fra
Diavolo,"
iTKINLEY'S LETTER.
To West Yirginia Republicans
Sent by Bike and Pigeon.
Canton, O., Oct. 13 Bearing a letter of
greeting from President McKinley t
the people of West Virginia holding a
field day at W"heelkig, two relay bicycl

lard's going away, and I don't know
when he will be back."
The examination then reverted to the
note upon which Mr. Grimes borrowed
money from the bank.
"How did you pay that note?
"With money." i
"Where did you get it?"
"Earned it."
"With interest on state funds?"
"No," said Grimes with a laugh.
"How did you earn it?"
"By my salary and other income."
"Has anybody else handed you any
money?"
"What do you mean?" exclaimed
Grimes. "Explain it. I want the public
to understand it."
"You seemed to be alarmed about the
public."
"I want the public to know about this
persecution."
"Have you ever received any money
without an explanation as to what it
was for?"
"No, sir."
TALKED W"ITH MAJOR SIMS.
"Di you ever have a conversation with
William Sims, of the First National
bank, about interest?"
"Yes, we talked about that subject,
but there was no understanding between
us."
"What was the substance of that con
versation?" "I don't remember."
"Did you ever go to Sims and ask him
to allow you interest or bonus on state
funds to be left in the First National
bank?"
"No, sir."
"Are you sure?" II ' '
"Yes, positive."
"If Sims says you did, he is mista
ken?" "Sims can answer that."
Mr. Doran caused a laugh by sudden
ly changing the drift of the examina
tion, by asking:
"You got the pass for Willard?"
"Y'es, sir."
Mr. Grimes testified that he has talk
ed frequently with the Topeka bankers
about -the interest business, because it
has been bo frequently written up in the
papers.
"But -we have had no understanding
as to payments for my nrsonal benefit."
MR. GRIMES' FLAT DENIAL.
Mr. Doran renewed the questions con
cerning a contract, to which Grimes re
plied by saying:
"You are trying to prove that I have
had interest or bonus in payment for
use of state money. I have talked to
hundreds of people but have never had
an understanding or a cent of money."
"Do you want to say that you have
never asked the officers of the Topeka
banks to pay you for the use of state
money?"
"I never have."
"Did you ever make such aiTangemeint
through a third party?"
"I did not."
"Did Frank Willard ever pay you any
money ?"
"Ask that question right," said Grimes.
"I'll answer it."
"Answer it as it is," said Doran.
"No, you know what you are trying to
prove. Willard paid me money for state
purposes, and I want that understood."
"Were any of your checks on the
banks for warrants larger than the war
rant which you were paying?"
"Not that I know of. I would have
been short at night balances, if I had."
"Unless you had gotten it out of the
mail," said Doran.
"Did you ever pay other than state
debts or warrants with checks as treas
urer." "No, sir."
At this juncture it was agreed that
the records should be presented, and Mr.
Grimes was excused until later, perhaps
this afternoon, perhaps not until next
week.
MR. THOMPSON TESTIFIES.
W. A. L. Thompson, president of the
Merchants National bank, was called at
11:20, a recess of five minutes having
been taken.
"Is the payment on deposits a subject
which conies befoi'e the directors?"
"It has never come before our board."
"Has your bank ever paid Mr. Grimes
interest on state money in your bank?"
"Not to my knowledge."
"If interest is paid on deposits in your
bank who manages it?"asked Mr. Doran.
"The cashier."
"To what account is it charged?"
"I can not tell you."
"Do you not carry an account of ex
penses and income?"
"They should do so."
"You are not familiar with the books?"
"No, sir."
"Has Mr. Grimes ever talked to you
about interest on state funds?"
"He has not."
"Has Mr. Kelly?" I
"No, sir."
"Have you ever talked -with any per
son about this Interest?"
"No, sir."
"Have you mot been bothered by the
reporters since this matter came up?"
"Yes. but I have not had any conversa
tion with them."
MIGHT BE MADE WITHOUT
KNOWLEDGE.
"Might this, arrangement to pay in
terest be made Without your knowl
edge?" "Possibly."
"Do your directors examine the bank's
finances?"
"A committee does this and reports."
"Who are they?"
"I can not tell you. I can not recall
them."
"Have you ever talked to Mr. Willard
about the payment of interest on these
deposits?"
"To which we object," said Mr. Hite.
"Which docs not prohibit an answer,"
said Mr. Waters.
"I think the question unfair," said
Hite.
"I want to put it just that way," said
Doran.
"I havp not." said Mr. Thompson.
ROBERT PIERCE CALLED.
The witness was dismissed without
crops-examination, and Robert Pierce,
a director of the Merchants National
bank and a former member of the ex
amining board, was sworn.

"That has not been the custom," re
plied Mr. Pierce.
"Has your bank paid interest on. any

"Not that I know of."
"Do you know whether Mr. Grimes has
been paid any interest, bonus, or thing
of value for the use of moneys left by
him in your bank."
"Not to my knowledge."
"Have you talked with Grimes or

"I don't know Grimes or Kelly; never

Mr. Pierce.
"The payment of interest on, deposits

"Yes, sir."
"What was Willard's salary as cf sh

"$2,600, I think," said Mr. Pierce.
"Was this for his own use?"
"We protest," said Mr. Hite, "against
going into W'illard's private business."
"Make your objection," said Doran.
"That's what I'm doing."
"The witness will now answer the
question?"
"The money was paid co Willard as
cashier and for his own use. That's all
we had to do with it."
The witness was then excused and the
hearing wa3 adjourned until 2 p. m.
MR. COLE TESTIFIES.
State Auditor Cole testified this after
noon, exhibiting the record of treasury
examinations kept in his office, as to
the amounts of money found in local

by Mr. Cole.
Mr. Cole then told how the governor,
secretary of state and. the auditor make
these stated examinations of the treas
ury. The balances in the local banks
are ascertained by the members of the
board, who call up the banks and re
ceive the amounts by telephone.
Mr. Grimes and Mr. Kelly came in at
2:30, during Mr. Cole's reading of the
figures. Mr. Grimes has been "all

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Chicago. Oct. 13. WHEAT The crowd
was a little long on wheat last night
but sold this morning as there was
scarcely any demand save in a small way
from known bulls. Liverpool was higher
but not as high as had been expected.
December opened a shade down at 76 to
7trjie and sold down to 7Cc. The local
receipts were 200 cars, seven of contract
grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
4g cars against 673 last week and 701 a
year ago.
A general expectation of large increases
in both the visible and on passage state
ments was a further bearish influence.
December later dropped to 75S4e and
closed 'i'fflc down at 754-UT6e.
CORN Corn was easier on disappoint
ing cables and in sympathy with wheat.
Country acceptances were reported light,
but offerings in the pit were liberal when
contrasted with the slack demand. De
cember opened H'g 4c lower at 35 to So'ia
and sold to 35c.
and sold to o64c, but eased, following
this to 35'(7H'C. Receipts were 541 cars.
The close was easy, December c lower
at 35c.
OATS Oats were fiat. The feeling was
easier in sympathy with other grains.
December opened a shade down at 22l-4c
and soid to 22'a I.-sc. Receipts were 422 curs.
PROVISIONS Provisions opened steady
because hog receipts were less than had
been expected, but turned easier on local
selling. January pork opened at $11.50 and
declined to $11.32.; January lard at H..2'2

Chicago, III., Oct. 13. WHEAT On the
late decline in wheat, weak and impatient
holders ha ve sold out, and what property
is now held for the long account is in bet
ter hands. There has been some buving
on this break on the belief that spring
wheat receipts will continue light and
posted arrivals in the winter wheat sec
tion indicate that there will be steadv
falling off in the quarter. If the visible
supply shows the expected small increase
Monday, it will probably be the last in
crease we will have on this crop. There
continues to be good cash demand from
exporters right along, and although north
western millers are not doing much talk
ing, they are making sales of flour at the
recently advanced prices. With wheat in
the strong statistical position It occupies,
every day of dull and quiet markets only
postpones the advance that is coming, and
tne upturn will no all the more radical
for the delay. The trade on the other
side have their attention on Argentine
prospects just now, and it will take an
other bumper yield in that southern re
public to keep the European buyers from
soon becoming active competitors for our
wheat. At present this element is inclined
to drag along, close to the bins as pos
sible, in the hope that heavy Argentine
yield will induce more pressure to sell our
wheat. There is every evidence, however,
that our wants on our season's crop will
be a factor in determining values more
than ever, as there will be no rush to
sell wheat in the present prosperous con
dition of the growers, and wheat will be
slow of movement from first hands from

will be the farmers' savings bank this
year.
CORN Corn" woke up with a start that
shocked some of the shorts and it quick
ly developed that May and December were
largely over sold. The October keeps the
tension at a high pitch all the time, as it
is under control of a local operator. The
cash demand is able to take care of all
arrivals and although receipts have been
rather heavy, stocks do not increase. The
weather is reported fine, but with country
stocks at a low ebb, our present crop of
corn is at no time going to be a drag on
speculation.
OATS Oats suffered from the govern
ment report of early in the week, which
was quite bearish, but at the decline
there was good covering of shorts, winch
held market steadv.
PROVISIONS Provisions active and
aside from October pork, values eased i-ff
only to rally later. There is growing con
fidence in the future high price of provi
sions. Strong operators are friendly to
lard, and ribs and the consumption of
meats and fats so large, present prices
seem low eneugh. J. F. HARRIS.
