Cassidy & Gray's Market Letter.
..WHEAT—Worlds shipments will be
small and buying orders were sent in
near the closo with tho finish rather
steady. It is possible that prices may
work a little lower and if so we
would favor purchases of September
and December wheat.
CORN—No rain appeared on tha
weather map and with fair weather
Indicated a great deal of strength de
veloped with commission houses buy
ing and offerings light. There
WRV-J
numerous reports of damage from
Indiana Mo., and Illinois and rain is
badly needed in many portions of the
belt. The July kind went out at 77
and while there was some realizing In
December and May, the undertone is
strong and we think purchases should
be made.
OATS—Eightv-six cars new oats re
ceived but farmers arc not free sell
ers and unfavorable reports were sent
In from the northwest. Armour sold
September and bought Mav and July
but trading was light and closing easy.
We look for good buying on weait
spots.
THREE NEAR DEATH.
Albia, July 29.—(Special)—The en-,
tire family of Mr. and Mirs. Charles
Anderson and their son, ten years of
age, were very near to death Sunday
afternoon as the result of ptomaine
poisoning. Mr. Anderson had been
working at Cleveland and did not get
home until after the meat markets
and groceries had been closed., Sunday
morning he came up town and went to
a resturant where he secured some
ham sandwiches. He got some other
eatables and took them to his home.
When Mr. Anderson returned from
church the family partook pf what they
had secured. An hoar later they were
fell taken deathly sick. The boy was
first taken with vomited and severe
cramps. A short while after Mrs. An
derson was stricken and then Mr. An
derson. Dr. Jenkins was called to tha
home and labored with the three from
two o'clock Sunday afternoon until
ten o'clock that night, when they had
passed the danger point, though they
still feel the effects of the poison.
They were just about as near death
as a person could get and not cross
the border. The lips had turned blue,
the pulse was very feeble and the
fingers and limbs were contracted and
rigid from the effects of the poison. It
is thought that the family will now
all get well, but it was only the result
of immediate medical attention.

WHITE MAN IS CARVED.
Bad Cutting Scrape at Hockfng Sun
day and Colored Couple are Held
for Murder.
Albia, July 29.—(Special)—To add
to the tragedies of the Saturday and
Sunday a white boy named Sam Mowe
was frightfully cut and wounded by a
man or a woman at Hocking Sunday.
The couple who are under arrest give
their names as —John Jones and Alice
Jones. They claim to be man and wife
and their residence is most any place.
Jones claims he was not, present when
the cutting occurred Sunday evening
but he was taken in custody with the
woman anl will be held until there
a further investigation. The boy was
literally cut to pieces. There were
seventeen wounds on his person and It
required a considerable length of time
for Dr. Jackson, of Hocking, to
stitch the wounds and save the boy's
life.
After the cutting, Jones and the
lik" I woman made their escape from Hock-
OTTUMWA COTTBIEB
ing. SherifT -Grlffln was notified and
he took up the work of locating them
There ,were numerous places where
they had been seen and the sheriff
followed them from one depot to an
other. Just as No. 2 was ready to
pull out the sheriff came to the sta
tion. He had the conductor hold the
train a moment and he made a searcn
of all the cars. The couple had got
ten upon the train without being seen
and were comfortably seated and
ready to leave the county. The sheriff
got them from the train and hustled
them to jail where they will be held
awaiting the result of the boy's
wounds. Mowe is a white boy and
was probably fooling around in a
place where he should not have been
when he received the injuries.
