About S o'clock to-night Ernst Hoge. a farmer, aged 4 years, living near the city, was thrown from a mule and almost instantly killed. He became entangled in the harness and the mule ran with him several miles, so badly lacerating the face and body that he was hardly recognizable. Hoge's brother met death in a similar way a few years ago. Hoge was one of the wealthiest far mers in the county. xcr.no doy killed by fall James Thomas, a 2-year-old negro child, while playing on a porch on the second floor of his home.

Qt 1 simIq market that tied up. for a time, one-half millions dollars and broke an Incipient cor ner In St. Louis July corn. The man who broke the corner made a big profit out of the transaction. Some weeks ago. a leading Kansas City grain firm decided that the prices were out of line, and sold liffiSM bushels of July corn In :-'t. Ijouis, and bought the same quantity for July delivery In Kansas City. in aauuion. mis nrm -oia several nunurru thousand bushel- of July corn In Ht. 1-ouls as a "hedge" against cash corn. Start u Corner. About the ume time, a big speculator in the St. Louis market conceUed the Idea of running a corner In July corn there. He calculated tliat St. Louis would not get much corn, with manipulation on a large scale, going on in the Chicago market. Consequently he bought a big lot of corn for July delivery with the expectation or exacting a high price for settlement from those traders who contracted to deliver corn in July and should find themselves un able to do so. The St. Louis man thought he had every thing going smoothly until a few days ago. Then he suddenly discovered that he would get a million bushels or more delivered on July contracts. He did not want the corn. He wanted a chance to force the market up and compel a settlement at high prices by the distressed shorts. The St. Louis plunger sought out the man who threatened to deliver to him a few hundred thousand bushels. His broker was C. F. Orthweln's Pons Commission Company, of which C. C. Orth weln of Kansas City. Is the chief man. It happened, therefore, that the St. Louis market was dominated by two Kansas City men. C. C. Orthweln. representing the St. Louis plunger, had the "long" end e .1... t Tt,. ertrt" Anil vn nelrl hr tl vut- u .it. tiic . ...... .. . ... . .- the Harroun Commission Company, of which A.

When he saw that the St. , I-..- ... fw-i'ln.- tn "snwpMp" h!m 1.4JU15 JJlUUfe .- .wr. - he arranged for special trains to rush corn down there from his elevators here and at St. Joseph, and his firm bought a big line of No 2 corn from Harris. Gates & Co.. who are running the July corner In Chi cago, and started to ship corn from Chi cago to St. Louis. ,... rf Harris. Gates & Co. were glad to get rid of a few hundred thousand bushels of the grain that had been un " July contracts, and that end of the deal was easily anaos- , Yesterday a settlement was made on L, CW.000 bushels of the Harroun July. sales at about C2 cents. That much corn the St. Louis hulls will escape taking. The rest amounting to about 1.000.000 bushels, will be delivered, and the St. Louis trader who started to corner July corn, will have a lot of grain. In the mealtime the Harroun Commis sion Company has about one-half million bushels of corn bought In Kansas City for July delivery, and will be able to dictate the price at which "shorts" will have to settle. Com has suddenly become very scarce here because of the movement be ing turned to St. Louis and Chicago. GENERAL WHEATON AT PEORIA. Received at His Old Home With Demonstration. Peoria. 111..

The Aeronautical Jury may rule out. after due Investigation, any machine deemed too haz ardous to life. All preliminary entries shall be consid ered ax confidential.

E-ich contestant's official time shall b- the average of the records of his three best trips. The average speed of the machine shall be computed for the actual air line distance over the ground, making no allowance for the wind or for deviations from straight lines to or from the captive balloons. Date for Competitive Trials. The competitive flights must take place between the first day of June and the thir tieth day of September. 1904. Inclusive. The specific weeks for the trials will be de termined by the International Jury and an nounced in advance.
