culminat,On ofths Corner ON wheat

CHICAGO, July 31.-The corner in wheat
eliminated to-day and the highest price fol
cash was $l,l04 was paid for July, There
was less excitement than anticipated, prices
only having gone up about two cents dur.
ing the entire day and the corner showed
much less strength here than in Milwaukee
There is much discussion as to whether
the rule of the State Warehouse Board as
interpreted by the directors regarding the
right of operators to deliver winter wheat
on contracts 10 place of spring will stand
iu court. Test cases will be immediately
tried and shorts who offered winter wheat
mixed with spring in settlement will insist
that the rule which makes such wheat
grade as spring is in force and that they
have settled. Other suits will be brough,
on the ground that this whole operation is a
corner aud contrary to law and the regula-
tons of the Board nf Trade, which must
now fix at the settlement price.
MILWAUKEE, July 3l.-The corner in
July wheat culmiuated amid great excite
ment at 2:30 p. ~, A few minutes before
noon the board closed McGeoch instruct
ed his brokers to bid ST. 80 for all July
wheat Ctrered, thus establishing a prize
a which delinqUents must settle. Settle
ments are made for all but 81 900 bushels.
This amount is due from bers Of the
board, who eiaim their deals are lnargined
t. "A 'lgher figure than the closing prices.
They were forbidden by their customers
to settle The matter will be thrown into
the hands Of q committee on arbitration.
AlctJeoch Il Co, s profits by the corner is
variouSly estimated at from 100000 to
$5OO,0O0 1t is certainly the most success
tul manipulation ever attempted in the
Northwest. 1t is now thought that Au-
gust wheat is cornered.

a Campaign SANDER.

When DR.. R. V. Pierce was candidate
for State Senator, his political opponents
published pretended analysis of bis popu-
lar medicines hoping thereby to prejudice
the people against him. His election by
an overwhelming majority severely rebuE-
ed his traducers, who sought to impeacb
his business integrity. No notice would
have been taken of these campaign lies
where it not that some of his enemies land
every successful business man has his full
quota of envious rivalsl are republishing
these bogus analyses. Numerous and
most absurd formulas have been published,
purporting to come from high authority;
and it is significant fact that no two have
been at all alike -conclusively proving the
dishonesty Of their authors.

boat being IN readiness he was soon taken
on board the judges boat, and at 4 45 she
steamed down to Terryburn Cove. The
signal to come out was sounded and in
three minutes Ross was In bis boat Han.
Ion appeared two minutes later and re-
ceived loud cheers FROM the crowd on the
judges boat. At 5 o'clock tie men were
given instructions and ordered into line.
The water vas in good condition, when at
eight minutes past the men were sent off,
HanloD being inside. Ross took the lead
and struck out vigorously. pulling 80.
Hanlon followed at the same pace. but
pulling longer stroke and soon got even.
and before he reached Appleby's wharf
had passed Ross. Above the wharf Han
lon was polling 80, going along beautifully,
Ross following at 80 strokes: Three hun
dred yards from Appleby's, Ross boat was
seen to capsize. and for a moment it was
feared that he had been drowned. He was
soon seen however clinging to his boat and
a skiff went out aud picked him up. Ross
says the spring of his rowloek worked out
and he upset, breaking the box of the
boat. Hanlon went mp the course, taking
his time, however, and went around the
stake boat at 5:38. On his return he
showed some line rowing, but did not over
exert himself
The accident did not appear to do Ross
any harm. At the Judges boat he was
very reticent, but feeling badly over the
way he lost the race, He says the boat
got in bad condition soon after the race
started, and that he was watching the
boat and not Hanlon. General regret
was felt at Ross misfortune, but the pre-
vailing opinion was that he was over
matched. Appleby's wharf is three quar-
ters of mile from the start. Hanlon was
a length ahead. Ross struggled gamely
while rowing during the continuance of
the contest, but the accident to Ross
threw dampener over the days sport.
HaBlon's time up to the scene of the acci-
dent was about six minutes. Official time
of the race, 36:59.
Z OTTAWA, July 3l.-An effort is being
made to induce Hanlon and Courtney to

SPECIAL N TrcEs,
scHENcK's SEA WEED roN1c.


In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethaIgy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
ticularly those suffering from the effects of debi-
ting diseases. In order to keep a natural health
ful activity of the system must resort to artlf-
cial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic Is very efectual. few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured By the drugs which are gener-
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic N its nature is totally different from such
drugs. 1t contairs corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its na-
ture much resembles the gastric juice that it is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric Juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
of the body causes the food to be digested; and
when this juice Is not exereted in sufficient quanti-
ties, indigestcn with all its distressing symptoms
follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty
of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all Druggists.
