The Most Excited Week of the Year-The

CHICAGO, June 6.-Tbe week on Change has
been the most excited of the year, with wheat the
center of interest. The bulls have managed to
keep the reins well in hand, however, and with
the exception of small set back Wednesday have
held the team steadily On the upgrade. At the
start the big ''shorts" began 10 cover. Nat Jones

been the most prominent sellers OF the previous

Gossips put Reams winnings at $4,000 snd Jones'

little Nose Fraley were taken into the
clique and before the boys got onto the
scheme they had sold themselves into

Corn follows the lead of wheat, and the only

REST AND RECREATION
Should Consist of Reversing the Strain
Upon Parts Most in Ordinary Use.

IDr d. A. 5argent's Lecture.
The exhaustion entailed by this busy life
of ours is tremendous and so depletes the
nervous system that disease is invited, and,
the system being so exhausted, one falls an
easy victim to the disease. Thus it is that
recreation is absolutely necessary for the
health Of mankind. Recreation is that
which, with the least expenditure of time
fits the person to resume his work. The re-
creation must, Of course, vary according to
the daily life of the person. The organs not
under The control of the will such as the
heart and the secretorJ organs, receive rest
immed iately after performing duty, bat it
is not SO with muscles of the body.
a good digestion is necessary for rscrsa
ton. AS long as nutriment is kept up, en-
durance is likely to continue Digestion is
always greatly aided by proper PHYSICAL ex.
eIcise, and it is thus that We may cay exer-
cise is the best OF recreation. The funda-
mental of recreation lie change from one
class of work to another, the brain worker
requiring muscular exercise and the me-
chanic brain work. Both classes will find q
certain amount of emotional recreation to
their advantage. 1t is well known that low
spirits tend to lower the vital tone and rem
der one liable to disease.
Those most in need of recreation are those
engaged in work Of a sedentarY nature. Pro-
fessionRl men should have recreation largely
of q physical nature, a brisk walk is what
physician most freq uently recommends for
exercise, bat for person not accustomed TO
exercise this is not always beneficial for his
brain being the only part of his body that is
kept in activity. the exercise forces the blood
into the head, and he returns home with q
severe headache. Such man should take a
passive exercise, such as rowing, sailing. or
hunting where the mind could be in slight
activity also.
The majority of men engaged ia mercan-
tile pursuits get enough physical exercise
from their every day life. and their recrea-
ton should be of q mental nature.
A few days in the country change
of society, is beneficial to every one.
Stock brokers and bankers require very
quiet recreation, but instead they try to get
their recreation from the most exciting OF
sports which is really no change from their
daily life Merchants and clerks are recon-
mendsd TO attend light entertainments,
such as concerts and lectures, or play cards.

ture.
Women and children. the former especially,
rely toe much on excitement for recreation,
and carry it to such an excess that is becomes
simply dissipation. A distinction must be
understood between exoitsment which in
vigorates and excitement which exhausts.
Dancing and roller skating are excellent ex-
ercises. but under the excitement OF the
music is too often continued to exhaustion.

The Redskins Entrenched, but the

BATTLEFoRD, N. W. T., May 31.-The
steamer North west en- route to Pitt came
across James Grant and Charles Rosslter
in a canoe go miles up the river. They
left Pitt Thursday night with dispatches
for Gen. Middleton, fight between Gen.
Strange's forces and Big Bears band hav-
Ing taken place that day. Rossiter says
that Big Bears location was discovered
Wednesday. The advance was made
on the following morning, but as
the whole of Gen. Strange's troops
had NOT yet arrived at Pitt he could only
muster about 800 men. A march of ten
miles down the river and three miles in
land brought the troops to the Indian
camp. The redskins were entTenched just
over the brow OF a hill, and in order to
reach them Gen. Strange was obliged TO
cross a marshy valley. While he was ad-
Vancing the Indians commenced firing.
For three hours and half steady fire
was kept up FROM both sides. The troops
drove the Indians from their quarters,
but the number killed could not be ascer-
tanned. GEN. Strange's loss is very small.
The troops retired in good order TO Pitt.

WHEAT'S BAD OUTLOOK.
THE CROP TO BE THE SHORT
EST IN 10 YEARS.

DiscOuraging Averages In Some of the
Cereals StronRhOlds-NOt over $780,
OOO,0 900 Bushels Expected by the
Knowing Ones-13O, ,0OO. 900 Bushels of
Spring Wheat Possible If the Weather
is Favorable.
CHICAGO, May 31.-The growing wheat
crop having reached critical stage, and
winter wheat having approached condi-
tiOn sufficiently near maturity to approx
mate the acreage and probable yield, the
Farmers Reriel0 has followed up its
weekly sum mary by a complete survey
OF all the Western and Southern wheat
growing States, reports having been re-
ceived from over 1900 correspondents,
covering every wheat-producing county
in Ohio, Michigan. Indiana, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Dakota, together with very accurate
and recent summary from the Pacific
coast region, made by the Associated
Press.
ACCURACY OF THE REPORT.
1t is believed that this makes one of the
most complete reports ever prepared. The
review has been carefully made, and the
information is believed to be the most
exhaustive and the latest that has yet
been obtained, and fOreshadows the State
and government report. The review says:
The glOomlest views which have been
advanced concerning the winter wheat
outlook for 1885 must now be accepted
as the most accurate. The promising
conditions of 1884 have this
season been completely reversed. The
absolute uniformity of the returns indi-
Gates that the outlook for winter-sOwn
wheat this year is the worst in ten years,
and it may now be set down as positive
that under the most taYOrng conditions the
total winter and spring wheat yield is to
fall considerably under the short crop of
1881, when the total production was $780,
600, 900 bushels.
THE AVERAGE IN THE STATES.
The condition in the various States is as
follows:
In Illinois the average condition does
not exceed 46 per cent. Of the yield of 1884.
Kansas SO per cent.
Missouri % per cent, and the State will
not produce more than one-third of its last
years yield.
Ohio So per cent. Of 1884.
Indiana 40 per cent. of last year.
Tennessee will not harvest One-fOurth
of the crop of 1884.
kentucky % per cent. OF last year s
crop.
The Pacific coast region shows short
age of %, 800. 600 bushels as compared with
the crop of 1884.
Michigan promises to turn out 96 per
cent. of the average yield.
THE PROBABLE YIELD.
From a close computation, and taking
the most cheerful view of the situation,
the winter wheat yield, or present yield,
will not exceed 200, 100000 bushels, and
absolute percentages from most trust
worthy sources indicate that the yield
will fall somewhat under than over the
figures given. Turning to the spring
wheat belt the outlook is altogether more
promising and probable. The spring
wheat yield, based upon continuing favor
able weather, will be 10000, 900 bushels.
The total wheat crOpOf the country, there
fore, from the present outlook, will be
from 32O,00O,00O to $4,000, 900 bushels,
against the average yield for the past five
years Of AGA, 100000 bushels.
