tadlaaapolla and Chicago Live Stock Markets — Speculative Stocks— Brokers’ Notes and Comments —Local Jobbing Prices.
The wheat market continued weak again to-day. and prices were fully 1 cent lower bt the opening. There waa a further decline of a fraction, with considerable selling by holders on stop loss orders. After these were filled the market gradually became firmer, and with some buying against privileges, prices scored an advanoe of 151c, seillng at yesterday's closing price. Cables were slightly lower, with good weather in toe spring wheat section, and very little cash demand were the bearish Items. The strength in corn helped to sustain prices also. The close was fairly steady. Corn opened a shade easier, but the demand for corn was so good that prices firmed up shortly after the opening, and on Some covering by local shorts scored an advance of a cent. There was reported late yesterday 300,000 bushels corn taken at New York; this, with the extremely good demand for all kinds of corn, helped to bull prices. Oats were dull and neglected. Provisions continued weak at the opening, ard there was some selling, but it was all taken by shoits, and the market firmed up, closing at about best prices of the day. Improved Crop Reports, National Stockman. Secretary Morton, with the advice of a number of experts In crop reporting, has devised a new plan by which it is hoped more reliable information in regard to crops shall be secured. The new scheme, which is rather In the nature of a supplement to the old one, provides for the division of the country Into twenty-one districts with a supervisor over each district. The more important agricultural States each constitute a district, while several luf the less Important ones are grouped together There are reporters for each township in the new plan; but the county reporters are continued as heretofore. It Is expected that the two sets of reporters will add to the reliability of tbs Information, and will prevent errors in estimates. The systert certainly proraIses much better things than we have had of late years In the w%y of crop estimates, and producers should do what--ever may be in their power to help it along. It Is noticeable that official and commercial crop estimates are much closer together now than they have been for several years. ' * Millers’ Troubles. Correspondence Northwestern Miller. The Blanton Milling Company fays: "Never, In our experience, have we received so little wheat during the same time as we have this year. In fact, our receipts have amounted to practically nothing, whereas, in ordinary seasons, we would be taking In 2,000 to 4,000 bushels from farmers’ wagons. Were we the only ones who were getting small receipts, we would not be inclined to thtnk that our crop is so short, but we hear the same complaint of. very small receipts from every one ■ throughout the winter S, wheat section. Demand for feed has continued fair, at full prices of last week. " Farmers Holding Wheat. A correspondent of the Dally Trade Bulletin In central Indiana says: "Answering, ‘Are farmers selling wheat?’ I say no, and most emphatically. I have reports from five thrashers, and they say not one bushel In ten is hauled away and sold. One thrasher said: We thrashed seventeen jobs the last two weeks; every one went into the barn,’ and another told me last Saturday that they had thrashed, all told, twenty-three jobs—one taken by sheriff, two sold, five stored in mills, and the balance, including nearly all the larger crops, went Into the barn. So It goes.’’ CITY WHOLESALE QUOTATIONS. ’ Dry Goods. Bleached Cotton*—Androscoggin L, 38 Ineher Stic; Bl&ckstone. 28 inches. Site; Cabot, 28 biohes. 80; Dwight Anchor.

Grain Notes and Comments. By W. B. Overman’s wire: Chicago: There is a sharp demand for ' wheat for milling to-day in smalMots. So ! far 40,000 bushels have been sold. Corn and oats are a trifle lower. Provisions very weak and no demand except to fill shorts. It is thought wheat will ultimately sell much higher. There can be but little doubt that for the present the possibilities of a big spring wheat crop overshadow shortage In winter wheat, and acts as a nightmare to any good advance. Elevator pedple and millers in the Northwest naturally want to get possession of the spring wheat at low prices, and are using their influences to keep prices down. It looks as if they would succeed for an indefinite time at least. In view of this situation, it Is advisable to be cautious, to buy only on a decline and eel]) with limited profits. Of the 50 cars wheat received here 49 are new, and only three No. 2. Last year there were 407 cars, of which 404 were new, and 361 No. 2. Of the 232 cars oats to-day 98 are new and 16 No. 2. During July wheat receipts here were 1,491 cars, only 27 per cent, of last year s receipts, and less than 33 1-3 per cent, of the average July receipts for six years. In July, 1890, when the crop was only 399,000,000 bushels, the receipts were 2,300 cars, or 809 cars more than for the month Just ended. ^ , . . Weather forecast for thirty-six hours indicates fair and warmer in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri, showers and warmer in Iowa ^“Minnesota; showers in Minnesota and the Dakotas; cooler In Nebraska and in the L>ak A^lverpoo^Able reads: “The market re prime “wires: Weather continues cool, but think all danger from frost pest for the present. Illinois oats. thrashed, grading mostly No. 3. ere bad ly stained and damaged by r^ns. Yery poor crop as compared with the crop or 1894. Spring wheat reports *how han, est has commenced in a small way s0 “ t . ern Dakota and southern Minnesota, There will be a free movement at harvest, irrespective of prices. Church’s Ferry, N.

Stock Brokers’ Gossip. By L. W. Louis's private wire; New York, August 1.—The wonderful strength of the stock market is maintained. Prices furnish all the argument necessary to convince traders, and the slight reactions in the early transactions at the Stock Exchange yesterday were wiped out in the afternoon, and values advanced without any news to stimulate the movement. It' could haMly be called for want of Information, when the West sent advices of perfect weather for corn, for it Is upon the prospects of a big corn j crop that this year’s speculation had advanced Burlington 20 points, R. I. nearly j 20, and Missouri Pacific to same extent, i The rise in St. Paul has also been close : to 20 points, while In N. W. it is about i 15. The excellent prospects for spring wheat, while, of course, playing an important part in lifting quotations of last j two named, it is not forgotten by conservative people that financial conditions have also been, in part, responsible for the radical improvement indicated by ; current prices, as compared with those of last winter and spring. The vigor with which some of the railroad stocks were advanced yesterday appears to hav£ caused disturbance in the interest which is short of Gas, although the companies in this combination have not yet escaped from the clutches of the courts and State authorities of Illinois. The highly speculative character of the trust certificates applies to courageous operators, who care little whether they buy into a solid security or not, provided they can move it rapidly at the expense of other speculators, who sell more stock
than they can deliver.
The boldest kind of predictions continue to be made in regard to probable advance in Sugar, and the season should be ripe for almost any kind of a successful bull turn in almost any kind of a property. It seems to be a time when conservatism is at a serious discount in Wall street. Dividends payable to-day: R. I. 4, A. M. T. common 3, M. C. 2, L. S. 3, C. S. 14, J- C. 14, Leather preferred 31.

There Is positive information circulating that the Reading plan of reorganization simply waits more distinct signs of settlement of coal troubles before being promulgated. There is a report from good sources that the bondiholders will be called on to bear the principal burden of raising new money, and that the stock will be assessed lightly.

Reduction Company, of New York. The letter had the full approval of Mayor
; Denny.
I “You will have learned, through your Mr. Campbell, before receiving this,” it reads, “all about the failure bn the part of your company to consummate the agreej ment made by you on the 1st day of last i month. That agreement was made after ' a month’s time had been given you to . Investigate the matters connected with i the contract to be made, following the ! failure and refusal of your company to make good its first written proposition and bid. The subterfuge resorted to at the last moment has no substance in U whatever. The question of collecting and disposing of the night soil was one of the principal things Investigated by your expert, as shown by your letter of July 1 to Mayor Denny, and resulted in rais-
ing your bid to 320,000.
“It will not do, therefore, for your company to try to make this city or the general public believe that there was an honest mistake made in your second Investigation and written proposition. The truth is, Mr. Kelly, your company simply wanted to get out of consummating the contract. That is all there Is in it. The whole thing has resulted in a contemptible farce, for which no one connected with the city government of Indianapolis is in the least responsible. Your company has caused the city to be delayed three months or more in arranging to care for its refuse in a sanitary way; to make large outlays on the faith of your company’s promises, and brought great inconvenience to our people, to say nothing of the humiliation you have heaped upon
our officials by this final act.
“We assume that the city will be made whole by your company without any effort at compulsion on our part. We feel that we can reasonably ask you personally to see to this, as it was upon your letter above referred to, that we waived our legal rights under the first bid of your company, and re-advertised under the amended specifications revised by
you.”

Repairs of paved Streets. “Look carefully over all permanently Improved streets on which the guarantee expires this year and where, in your Judgment, repairs should be made, order them at once,’’ wrote the Board of Public Works to the city engineer to-day. The' board wishes to get all repairs possible done before the expense falls upon the city. “When the contractor’s guaranty expires, the city pays for the repairs, and that’s going to be a great big item of expense some of these days in the future,” said a member of the board.
Cement Sidewalks. Final action was taken on a resolution for laying cement sidewalks as follows: In New Jersey street, from Michigan street to Ft. Wayne avenue. Broadway, from Eleventh street to Bedford avenue. Woodruff avenue, from Clifford to Brookside avenue. Nineteenth street, from College to Ashland avenue. Talbot avenue, from Thirteenth to Fourteenth- street.
Electric Lights For Tomlinson Hall. It would cost the city about 3650 to have Tomlinson Hall wired for Incandescent electric lights, and the electric light would cost no more than the gas now costs, according to the estimate of C. C. Perry, of the Indianapolis Light and Power- Company. The Board of Public Works will consider the question of using incandescent lights, though President Holton says the cost would exceed the present appropriation <or the hall by 3228. Improvement Resolutions. New Improvement resolutions were adopted is follows; For asrihalting Market street, from Alabama to East street. For asphalting Ash street, from Lincoln avenue Seventh street. For a tyrick roadway m Kentucky avenue, fronj Missouri to Merrill street. For a prick sidewalk on the west side side of Cpadwlck street, from McCarty to Ray street. 1 City |Not Liable For Damages. G. C.

The Indiana Bermudez Company, which has the contract for the Capitol avenue macadam boulevard, has consented to extend the asphalt of Walnut street from the property line to the roadway of Capitol avenue, and also extend the brick alley pavement north of Walnut street in the same way w.thout extra charge. The Board of Public Works expressed thanks. THINKS HE HAS A CLEW. ^
Detective Geycr at Last Finds Another Trace of Holmes.
Detective Geyer has found something at last to assure him that his theory of the murder of Howard Pitzel here is tenable. It must be remembered that Holmes at no time stayed at any hotel in this city save the Circle Park Hotel, where he stopped one day with the wife (formerly Miss Yoke.) When he came to this citywith the three Pitzel children he registered them at English’s Hotel, but he did not stop therfl himself. Where did he stop? is the question that is one link in •the problem that detective Geyer is trying to solve. When the children were moved to the Circle House they were left there alone, Holmes still staying somewhere else. It has been found that he did not stop at any of the other hotels, and the task of detective Geyer has been to find out where he did live. Dp to the present there has not been the slightest track of him in the city. Rumor after rumor has been hunted down, and found to be nothing, but now Geyer has learned of something that assures him that he is on the right track. He has found that while in this city Holmes was' Intimate with a prominent business man of this city. This man is at present out of the city, but he will be reached as soon as possible, and from him it Is believed that much valuable information will be gleaned. % It is already known that Holmes asked this man if he could rent him a room ip his house. The man replied that he did not have any room in the house to spare, but he thought, that a friend of his, a prominent railroad official, might be able to spare a room. Td this man Holmes went and asked to be allowed to occupy a room. He insisted that money was no object; that he would be willing to pay any rent demanded. He wanted a room that he could gain access i to by a side door, and he wanted to have 1 the Key to the side door in his own possession. Recommended as he was, the railroad official would have had no objection to renting Holmes a room, but he Is in good circumstances, and explained to Holmes that he did not care to rent any room in his house. This is believed to be ab'mt October 4. G94. Geyer says that be la sure that Holmes
Emeline was murdered by Holmes.and one of the skeletons found was that of Emma. Chicago authorities instructed the Cigrands that they would try to ascertain who sent Emellne’s trunk to her home here, and a detective will also be here to
Inspect the trunk.
story of a tornado.. Told By Owe Who Witnessed the Dire Effects of a Miasoari Wind-Storm.
Kama* city Journal.
Joe Wisble, of Oklahoma, was In the city yesterday taking depositions in an important piece of litigation from that country. He completed the work last evening and returned home. He was in company with United States Marshal Nix, of that Territory, who is connected with the suit ih which they were taking
depositions.
Mr. Wisble was for many years a resident of this State, and was prominent in politics during the time. Since going to his new home he was a candidate for Congress, but was beaten. When he lived in Missouri his home was at Marshfield, the city down near Springfield that was devastated by a tornado several years since, whe^ so many people were killed. Mr. Wlsbie’s home was swept away and everything he had demolished. With his family he escaped from a terrible death in a
most remarkable manner.
His visit to the city yesterday, where he met several old friends, caused the events of that terrible day to be .discussed by them, and inasmuch as it is a good story and has some unusual features, it
Is given:
Mr. Wisble was at home, and, like the other citizens, was watching the stormcloud that was gathering. It was Sunday afternoon. There was something about the cloud that was unusual, and people •vatched It. They had heard of tornadoes, and they feared it was ope. Sure enough, it was. The storm-cloud formed at no distant point from the village and came directly toward it with a deafening roar. Houses were swept from the face of the earth and lost in the blackness of the storm. Trees were uprooted and carried no one knew whither. It was a magnificent spectacle of the destroying felement in action. In front of the storm was a city with hundreds of terrified citizens; In the wake of the storm was a picture of desolation never excelled In the State, while in the grasp of the storm was death and destruction In its most terrifying form. • \ As it came sweeping on to the city with great speed, Mr. Wisble aaw it was certain to reach STs home. His wife and baby were in the house. If they were to he saved, it was to be done quickly. Fifty yards from the house waa a ravine four feet deep and very narrow. Seizing his child he ran to this place wltii all speed- Down to the bottom of it they went and lay down. He lay across them in anticipation of danger. They ware scarcely in the place before the storm went over them. It was a moment of anguish while they waited, and Mr. Wisbie describes it In the most vivid manner. He was not a church member, and had never made any pretense of preparing for
the future.
Down there In that muddy ravine he %ays he asked God to spare his family, and he would be obedient to the Divine will ever afterward. He says he meant every word of that prayer. y As the storm went over them they seemed to be forced Into the earth with an unseen force above them. It lasted but a moment, but in that moment Mr. Wisble says he lived an age and suffered all the, horrors that seemed possible. Then it cleared away and the storm was over. The roaring storm went on in Its work of destruction and the gentle patter df the summer shower was heard. People who were unharmed hurried out to see what had happened. Mr. Wlsbie went out of the ravine with his family safe and Was confronted with a perfeej picture of desolation.''Not a stone was left even In the foundation of his beautw ful home. It was swept from the earth and carried away. . _ The homes' of his neighbors suffered likewise, and as the noise died away he could hear the lamentations of the sufferers and the shrieks of the injured. For hours he worked with the dead and dying, and while he was deprived of his home h* felt that he was satisfied when he viewed the dead and the injured of his neighbors, whdT%oo, had lost their homes. Shortly after the storm the memory of that prayer while in thq ravine came back to him. It was a solemn promise, and he Had never failed to make his word good. Speaking of it to a friend, he said he had never lied to a man, and Jie was not going to tell the first one to God Almi^hDr, especially as he had got the best of the bargain!; He joined the church and to this day there is no more faithful and devout churchman in the country than Joe Wlflbie. WANTED INFORMATION. The Melancholy Experience of * Belated Passenger. Detroit Free Press. There had been an accident down the road, making the expected train three hours late, and, of course, all the waiting passengers were mad—all but a little old man Who sat on a salt barrel on the long depot platform and figured away with a pencil on a piece of brown paper. By and by he rose up and went over to a fat man who was leaning against a hogshead of sugar and said: “1 want to ask you a question of two. You know what the sun is, of course. We all know that, but I’m a little mixed. Does the alrth revolve around the sun, or is it Jest the other way?” “I don’t know, and I don’t care a continental!” exclaimed the fat man In
reply.
“You don’t? Waal, that’s kinder sing’lar! You know the distance to the sun,
don’t you?”
“None of your business whether I do
or not!”
“Shoo! What’s the use o’ gittin’ mad about nutbin’? You are as techy as a hired man before breakfast on a Jinuary mornin’. If you’d asked me how fur It was to the sun, I’d bin only too glad to hev told you that it was over 2,000 miles, though it don’t look to be over five or six. “I don’t want any talk with you!” the fat man growled as he waved him off. “You don’t! Seems to me you are ready to bile over like hot soap! If you don’t want to talk there’s no law to make ye, but I should think you’d be glad of an opportunity to store your mind with useful knowledge. I s’pose you know this airth was once a liquid mass, don’t you?” "Didn’t I tell you to go away?” shouted the fat man as he grew red in the face and flourished his arms around. “Waal, I swan!’’ gasped the old man, as he turned to the crowd which had gathered. “Gentlemen, l haln’t tryin’ to pick a fight. I hain’t even mad. 1 jest asked him whether the alrth revokred around the sum or vlshy varshy, and he flared right up on me. I haln’t askin’ fur Information to make a bet on, but to store up in my mind.” “Well, I don’t want to talk with you, and that settles it!” replied the fat man. “Don’t you know how fur it Is from this depot to the moon?” persisted the
old man.
“Do you want me to lay you up for six
months?"
“Skassly, but seems to me every critter on airth with any sense In hU head orter be interested in these things. You don’t seem to keer two cents about how the pyramids In Egypt was erected.” “Will you go away?” “I s’pose so, but it does seem singular that a critter of your alge and heft should be po—" The fat man grabbed him and gave him a slam to the right and then a slam to the left, and then shook his old hat off and ripped the collar off his coat and pitched him over the hogshead among a lot of soap boxes. It was ftve minutes before the old chap crawled oat, and five minutes more before he seemed to realize the situation. When things were somewhat clear to him he slowly reached his feet, looked around upon the crowd In a dazed sort of way and slowly said: “The sun revolves around this depot, and the alrth revolves around the mm, and dum my buttons If I haln’t bin re-

New York Herald. More about the preaent-dty Indians of the United State* than was ever told in a book before is contained in the final census report just issued from the Government Printing Office. It forms an immense quarto volume of 683 pages, profusely Illustrated with original photoengravings and sketches in colors, and was prepared by Thomas Donaldson, of Philadelphia, the antiquarian and Indian expert He gave to the task the varied resources of his wide acquaintance among Indian students and Indian artists, and many of the latter he sent into the field to make at first hand drawings, photographs and oil sketches of striking phases of Indian Ufe. He secured pictures from the brushes of such painters as Peter Moran, Julian Scott, Walter Shirlaw, Gilbert Gaul and H. R. Poore— men whose time it would have been impossible to employ for such a purpose under ordinary circumstances. The result Is a report of great excellence, both in substance and appearance, and it is especially valuable in that it gives full particulars of tribal customs, religious and social, with interesting del*!!* relating to Indian dress, etc. Dlatrlbatiott of Indians. This final report .embraces, besides the four separate special bulletins heretofore issued on the Moquls, the Five Civilized Tribes, the Eastern Cherokees, of North Carolina, and the Six Nations, of New York, an equal amount Of unpublished matter respecting the Indians elsewhere on reservations and In the separate Stattes and Territories. The total Indian population of the United States In 1890 is set down as 248,253, not including the 32,052 Indians of Alaska. Of these 248,253, the males are stated to number 126,719, and the females 122,534. Those living on reservations number 133,417, of whom 34,785 ' receive rations from the Government, and 98,632 earn their own living through farming, herding, root-digging, horse raising, fishing and hunting. The Indians who are classed as citizens taxed or taxable number 58,806, and these, with the self-supporting Indians on reservations and the Five Civilized Tribes and the Six Nations, of New York, make a total of 212,900 self-supporting. The Five Civilized Tribes In the Indian Territory and the other Indians living with them aggregate 50,056 souls, and the Six Nations, of New York, numler 6,407 souls. The reservation Indians are located in twenty different States and Territories, and include about 147 tribes or parts of tribes, occupying about 78,600,000 acres of unalloted land, much of It desert. Th« reservations are embraced within fifty-' four agencies and are each controlled by an agent appointed by the President, with a cotflpjete Qlvic administration, physicians, clerks, school teachers, farmers and mechanics. There are about 3,000 white employes on the reservation*. Some of the agencies are controlled by army officers with a force of soldiers. The Indian police force consists of 770 Indian policemen, including officers. New York and Elsewhere. New York State Is shown u> have 6,044 Indians, of whom 6,309 reside on reservations of their own, and continue to maintain their ancient tribal governments as remnants of the Six Nations, while 73r others live off reservations and are regarded as '.citizens, taxable and qualified to vote. Of these latter, 52 live in^ New York city; 62'live in Kings county,*30 in Queens, 24 in Chautauqua, 27 in Chemung, 17 in Essex, 25 in Jefferson, 33 in Lewis, 84 in Madison, 23 in Monroe, 62 in Oneida, 22 in Onondaga, 17 in St. Lawrence, 25 in Saratoga, 50 in Suffolk, 42 in Warren, and 131 are scattered through other counties. New Jersey has 84 civilized and selfsupporting Indians. Connecticut has 228, mostly fishermen and laborers, and Rhode Island has 180. Massachusetts has 428 self-supporting and ' taxable Indians, descendants of the old Wampanoag tribe; Vermont has 346 Indians, and Pennsylvania has 98 Indians belonging to the Seneca tribe of the Six Nations, of New York, and 983 others, who are voters and pay taxete. The greact bulk of the Indians are now found on our outermost frontiers. Thus 61,279 live in the Indian Territory) 29,881 live in Arizona, 19.854 in South Dakota, 16,624 In California. 16,044 in New Mexico, 13,177 in Oklahoma, 11,206 in Montana, 11,181 In Washington and 10,096 In Minnesota. Decrease of Indiana. An Interesting table of early estimates and censuses of Indians Is given, from which it would appear that the decrease in the Indian population all over the country has been steady and rapid. In the year 1822, for example, Jebediah Morse estimated the number of Indians then in the United States and Texas (not yet in the Union) to be 471,417. There are thirty-two existing sfbclts of Indians in the United StKtes, excluding those of Alaska, and among these thirty-two sixty-four distinct languages are employed. Apropos the inexorable decline of the Indian race on this continent In the presence of the white race, the census writer thus philosophizes: "Over the old hunting grounds, across the silvery streams which thread the brown barrens and plains, up the tall mountains among the towering pines to the snowcapped and sun-touched summits, in the land once the home of hia people, the Indian of to-day can cast only a longing eye, and reflect The plains are silent tp the tread of the old Indian host; no monuments or; structures tell their story; no footprints in the rocks, no piles of carved or sculptured stone speak of their patience, ingenuity or their presence. For the remaining Indian, the painter, the museum, and the art preservative alone can tell the story. Even nature, the Indian’s god, Is silent as to him, and speaks not. Such has been his life, such the result, that if the entire remaining Indians were Instantly and completely wiped out from the face of the earth, they would leave no monuments, no buildings, no written language, save one; no literature, no Inventions, nothing in the arts and sciences, and absolutely nothing for the benefit of mankind. All of the Indian past is now largely reflection and retrospection.” Paiats On Bathing. Baths should be largely regulated by personal experience as to what is beneficial and what is not, However, It iz well for everyone to know some general truths; for instance, that a cold bath Is

Unknown To Govoraor He Was Glvea Employment. Washington Star. “There was a curious little page in the history of Jesse James, or rather that of his family,said Representative Hail, of Missouri, "which was never written. Gov. Crittenden, now consul-general to Mexico, was, as you recollect, the chief executive of MIseouri at the time the redoubtable Jesse James was killed. Bob Ford, who shot Jeqse. and afterward pleaded guilty to a charge of murder in the first degree, and was sentenced to be banged by the St. Joe court, was immediately psHcned by Governor Crittenden. “This, of course, was by agreement made long before to cover just such a contingency, and excited neither surprise nor comment at the time. Why did Ford plead guilty? Because he wanted a record of once in Jeopardy as a bar to any' future indictment which might been preferred after Crittenden had cessed to be Governor, and when a ch.ef executive might not have been so prompt with his pardon. “But about the curious paffe in the Junes history to which I referred. Jesse James had a son about thirteen years old. After Crittenden had ceased to be Governor, he opened law offices in City. After organising fhr b needed an office boy, and put an ad ment in one of the local papers, in response a well-dressed, handsome, very intelligent boy put m an appearance. There had been a score of responses, but Gov. Crittenden was very much attracted to this particular boy, he seemed so quick, and bright, and frank. After .talking with him a bit. Governor Crittenden decided to employ him. The boy mid he lived :a Seventeenth street in Kansas City with his mother, who was a widow. “What is your name?” said Governor Crittenden. “ ’James, ’ replied the boy. "At this point somebody came in to (lietract Crittenden's attention, and he simply adopted the boy into his business without further Inquiry. The boy turned‘out to be a very energetic and valuable youth and the Governor was delighted with his choice. He supposed all the time that the name ‘James’ given him by the boy was his first name. At the end of a week Gov. Crittenden had occasion to draw a chock for hts office boy’s salary. “What did you say your last name “fced Governor Crittenden as he dipped his pen in the ink bqttl*. “ ’James,’ replied the boy. “‘Is that your last name?’ Inquired Crittenden. “ ’Yes.’ " TtL 1 ’ what Is your first name, then?* naked the executive, somewhat surprised. ’ Jesse,’ answered the boy. ’My name % Jesse James,’. "T® that Crittenden was astonished would be a mild way to tell it. He began an Inquiry Into the office boy’s antecedents, Which developed the fact that be was thei oldest son of the dead outlaw, und bore his father’s name. No. there was no plot In it. The whole thing was one of those accidents which now and theft astonish men. It did seem strange that the office boy whom Crittenden selected, as it were. In the dark, should be the son of that celebrated robber, whoee bloody taking off the ene.-gy of Crittenden had brought about. No. Crittenden didn’t keep the boy, but he did what was better still. He hunted him up a situation where he got a better chance to exflXtid and rw» ceived twice aa much salary." A Good Hardy Player.
