The Great Wheat SpecnIa-
ton.

ITS ALLEGED HISTORY AND
LOSSES TO ITS PROMOTERS.
The Chicago Times prints a long
account of the celebrated Keene
wheat SPOOL" which has now been
closed out, with a loss to its organ
izers and participants Of several
millions of dollars. AS is known,
this IDEAL" was organized more
than a year ago, James r.. Kaene
and Jesse Hoyt being Its origfna-
tors. With them were associated
Perry III. Smith, George s. Dun
lay and Nathan Corwith, OF
Chicago, and Y. f. Zimmons and
Judge Howe, Of Kenosh. The
five last named were allowed a
quarter interest in the syndicate.
Hoyt had a quarter interest and
Keene half. The New York end
assumed entire direction of the
deal. Angus Smith, of Milwaukee
thought he saw a good chance In
following the movements O. the
syndicate and he made his spec
ulations along with theirs, and an
agreement was finally arrived at
whereby, though he was not to,
share In the profits of the syndicate,
he was to be guided by its direct
ors. AT one time the syndicate
had bought 100000 bushels of
wheat They proposed to close
out the deal last May, but the at
tempt did not realize their expec.
tations, and they decided to post
pone it to June, and by renewed
purchases force up the prices and
then unload. For a time it looked
as If this would succeed; but
Haxeltine-Hoyt's partner at
Chicago-began selling right and
left, and the market slid away.
Now almost all their wheat has
either been shipped or sold and
the Chicago owners of one quarter
interest In the deal find themielves
each with a loss of from two hum
dred and fifty to three hundred
thousand dollars. What Hoyt's
ard Keene's loss Is cannot be es-
and MIR. Smiths loss is
somewhere from q
quarter to half million.

on the programme, and were botl
beautifully rendered. The song by

SALEM.

Considering our worthiness as a pee
iple, the infection of mud during the
past week seems as comparatively great
as any Of the ten plaques Of Egypt, and
has sensibly affected the concerns OF
life, even from temporal unto spirit
ual things. Owing to the circumstan-
ce3 under foot, people have seemed as
it were, crippled, and thus impotent to
| get about to accomplish any great or
good work
Consequently the prayer meetings
held in the M. E. church during the
past w eek were not so effective in
their results as they would otherwise
have been. The attendance was most
ly limited to those living near the
church; although it must be most graf
flying to pastor and people to know
that the remainder of the flock more
remotely situated, was none tho less
Jealous. and that it was the mud in
stead Of the spirit that suffered them
not to go.
The farmer even complains Of his
flock not prospecting SO well this
weather, and finds it a difficult matter
TO feed corn-stalks, as they become
Iampled in The mud, and thereby lose
their relish.
Amusements, too, have all been ar
res ed by the mud; or at least none
have been heard of, quite contrast be-
tween this and holiday week; and who
can blame the lIght-hearted if they
do pronounce things rather stupid the
past week
The superabundance OF quails that
fell by The camp OF Israel centuries
ago, does not seem much more surpris-
ing than the quantity Of turkeys that
visited Salem Station this week. The
birds continued to come
the fore part o. the week until nearly
1000 were seen gobbllng and strutting
around in all the majesty OF their bird
snip, taking in the beauties of tile
I lace.
The unprecedented occurrence is eX-
planned in this way. Mr. George Booth
aud MI. Patr elk had bought the tur
keys to he delivered at the Station the
first of tie week, where they would
kill and dress the turkeys to ship to all
eastern market; but the weather not
being favorable before, the wholesale
daughter an picking did not com
mence until Saturday.

Cornet Band, fell from the stage on
New Years night, and received an i'll

THE CONTEST.

With the near approach of the Chicago
Convention, speculation and excitement
grow rife. The friends of the "Duke" are
confident of his nomination on the first bal
lot. The supporters of the other candidates
boldly assert that this cannot be accom-
plished, and that his failure to obtain the
nomination on the first ballot finally and
forever dispeses of Grant. In this event will
come the tug Of war. Mr.. Blaine will un-
doubleday lead off, but it is exceedingly
doubtful if he will be able to procure the
number of votes necessary to choice. So
bitter and violent has the feeling grown be-
tween the friends of Grant and Blaine that
the latter can hardly hope for much assist
ance from Grants friends. Sherman will
show his strength on the first ballot, and
which, under any circumstances, will be but
little augmented. Edmunds will have a
small following from the New England
States, which will leave him after the first
ballot. Unless the friends of Mr.. Blaine
can bring about coalition with those of
Sherman and Edmunds, we may have the
dark horse" trotted out
