"knew when he had enough" But at
last he drank too much. Not so much
but that he could reach home in safety
and go to his barn and see about his
stock. He had drank enough to dull
his intellect and make him careless.
He probably struck a match, lighted
his lantern, and dropped the blazing
lucifer unnoticed upon the hay. The
blaze sprang up. and when he. turn

confronted with a wall of fire. His sen

The cutoff forms the hypothenuse of q right

farming country in Nebraska. Tho line
will be opened for through business in about a
week.
The exact distance from Denver to Pacific

hi3.7 miles. The distance from Oxford to

hour in time between the terminal points
when the fast passenger trains are run through
between Chicago and Denver.
On July l, two years since, the Burlington
line was completed to this city. The progress
made in increased facilities for the safe and
speedy handling of both freight and passeu.

the eastern shippers is now uniformly arrived
at destination in the remarkable time of seven
or eight days from New York, and three to
four days from st. Louis ant Chicago, and
without breaking bulk or detention between
st. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City, or Chicago or
Denver.
This is new to western merchants, the old
time being from twenty to thirty days from
Chicago. The time and facilities afforded by
the Burlington line are not remarkable only
as a comparison between new and old con.

business man has rights that are deserving of
recognition is only displaying sound Judgment

Day of Great Excitement in Chicago
May Wheat Down to Eighty Cents,

CHICAGO, April 7-To-day's was the stormiest
of all those sessions which have recently been
the rule ON the Board of Trade. The feeling of
uncertainty at the opening was very great, and
that accompanied by depressing cables, early
caused prices tofuctuate wildly and break badly.
frfr~ faBipuon OF great many bears, that
May wheat would touch S0c was verified early
in the session. but prices reacted, and then re
ccded to SOC once more. One or two sales of
May were reported at 70 7-Sc. From that point
the market rallied, and, with only one or two
short halts, went to 50 5-8c for May, and closed
1-2c under that figure. The transactions in
wheat were very heavy. On Change the closing
prices were n 12c April 50 1-Sc May, S4 1-Sc
June, 50 3 Sc July. At o'clock call board, May
advanced 1-8c and June and July advanced lac.
The sales were 1,000, 900 bushels.
The depression in corn was very great during
the early part of the session, May selling as low
as 4S 34c, but from that point matters improved
and the market closed only u shade under Sat
urdays quotations. April closed at 45 5Sc, May
so 3-8c, June 81 l4c, July SO lac. On the call
board the sales were 555, 900 bushels, May ad-
vancing 3-6c, and June and July advancing
1-2c.
There was brisk trading in oats and early in
the day prices were fully 1c under the closing on
Saturday, but rally occurred later and the
closing prices We're nearly up to the close on
Saturday. May closed at 81 1-8c, June 81 lac,
July 80 7-8c. On the call board the sales were
333, 900 bushels May declining 1-Sc.
Active trading occurred in mess pork, mainly
for May and June deliveries, May selling down
to $l56O at one time, but, as a result of the
days trading, prices were not materially low

July $16.35. On the call board the sales were

many Democrats in Ohio, came to recognize
the injustice of reducing the duty. He ap-
pealed TO the gentlemen on the other side to
support this measure and he did so the more
boldly because their brethren in Ohio last fall
had promised the people they would re
store the wool duty at the beginning of the
session. Democratic orators on everys stump

tracts from their speeches with his remarks. He

Mr.. Henley supported the motion, and said
that in the locality where he lived the restora-

Mr.. Wilkins said it was not often that farmers
came asking legislation, and when they did,
Congress should give them respectful hearing.
