A MILLION AHEAD.
Old "Hutch'e" Wheat Profits In
Chicago.
September Wheat Forced Up to a1.5O .
Bushcl, with Excellent Prospects
That the Price May Go
to Two Dollars.

CHICAGO, rept. 2s.-King Hutchinson
wouldn't sell a dollars worth Of Septem-
ber wheat to-day until the price went to
$3.50, and then he sold Abe Poole 10000
bushels. "Give him your watch, Abe"
called out Jimmy Clifford. "Walk up,
gentlemen, they are now talking Watches"
and there was a general laugh. The price
Of September continued at $3.50 up to
the close, vrd the last 5000 bushels
bought from, Hutchinson brought that
figure. "What did you sayY" asked
the purchaser. at would be tomorrow
So" swell, you won't get it from me
for any less +" returned the sturdy old bull.
Hutchinson has made $1,0OO,000, it is
claimed, since his September corner began
to pan out but so far as the express
sion on his face is concerned, no one would
imagine he had made cent. He contin.
ues passive, while every one around him is
crazy. This morning Hutchinson received
from the clearing house checks amounting
to $675,0O0- This probably covered two
days. busin ess. He has been receiving from
$4,000 to 100000 every day for two weeks
past. This will give slight idea Of his
profits up to date on the deal. If, as he
says, September will sell tomorrow at 50,

said n disconsolate scalper, as he gazed at
the crowded gallery, 'that they ought to
charge an admission fee and donate the
proceeds to the bears" B. P. Hutchinson
was born iear Danvers, Mass, in 1928,
and started life on farm. Agriculture
not being to his liking, he went to Lynn,
and after mastering the making OF shoes
started a factory. He failed in
1857 and then turned his face
to the West, locating in Milwaukee.
That town being too slow for him, he came
to Chicago in 1859 and went on the board
of trade, his membership costing him IS.
In year or so he was worth $3.50, 900 and
had paid every debt he owed in Lynn. He
is man Of keen foresight, indomitable
will, great courage, and boundless nerve,
caring for no one, and intent only on maxi
ing money. He has helped many man
on the Board, though his philanthropy has
always Injured to his financial bsuefit. He
is worth probably $4,000, 900, one tenth of
which has been made within the past
week.

THE SEA SERPENT.
A Monster of the Deep In Fresh
Water.
Fifty Feet Long and Black as the Ace Of
spadcs-Thc Crews of Two Vessels
obtain Good View Of His
serpcntship.

CHARLESTON, 8. c., Sept. 28.-Captain A.
A. Spring, of the steam tug H. L. Buck,
brings strange story from George
On Saturday his tug had in tow the
schooner Jessie Rosaline, on her way to
the bar, and had just passed the wreck Of
the Harvest Moon, which lies In the edge
Of tho channel when a little boy, seven or
eight years old, son OF c. w. Foster, di-
rected his attention to something in the
water over the port bow, and asked IL 1t
was bird. Being in charge Of the wheel,
he paid little attention to the child's ques-
tion, merely glancing in the direction in
dicated. He noticed what at a
glance seemed to be some large bird float
ing in the water. He heard the mate Of
the tug whose attention had evidently
been also attracted, remark that it looked
like the back Of drowned black. When
passing abreast of the object his attention
was ngained called to it. The boat was
moving rapidly through the water, so that
when he had secured his glasses the object
was about two hundred yards away. He
examined it intently and carefully, and
made out nearly its entire shape. 1t SEEM
ed tn be resting or sleeping, the head and
body being more or less exposed to view
as the waves rose and fell about it. The
mouth appeared to be beak- shaped, the
head oval and quite large. Tho
body looked to be as large as four
barrel, and lay upon and in the water in
the curves common to snakes while swim
ming. The tail was not at first entirely
visible. While looking intently at the
monster something-possibly the noise Of
the tug-seemed to arouse it, and in an in
slant it threw its tail into the air, exposing
fully fifteen feet of its length, and lashed
the water into foam. 1t swan of in the
direction Of what is known as Muddy Bay
and the Mud Flats, where it was impos-
sible for the tug to follow it. The color Of
the monster was very dark. As we'll as
could be judged, the portion Of his tail
lifted from the water was eight or ten
inches in diameter, and his estimated
length thirty feet The captain Of the
schooner, who got much nearer view,
estimated the monsters length at fifty
feet. At the point where it was seen the
water is fresh, as it is several miles below,
and Captain Spring thinks the animal was
made sick by it, and if he does not find his
way back to salt water very soon his life
will be the forfeit for his rash visit to port,
and science may yet have an opportunity
of fixing his identity.

|" Nasal Voices, casarrh and False
Teeth"


A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth
Americans don't like the constant twit.
ting they get about this nasal twang, and
yet II is a fact caused by our dry stimula
ting atmosphere, and the universal pres
ence OF catarrhal difficulties.
But why should 30 many OF our women
have false teethi
That is more of a poser toHhc English. It
is quite impossible to account for 1t except
on tho theory OF deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and by
want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-putrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition
Is modern one, one unknown to our an
cestors who prevented the catarrh, cold,
cough and consumption by abundant and
regular use Of what Is now known as
Warmers Log Cabin cough and consump-
tion remedy and Log Cabin sarsaparilla,
two old-fashioned standard remedies
handed down from our ancestors, and now

Reports Of Starvation Confirmed.

WINNIPEG, MAN, Sept 2s.-A terrible
tale of starvation and destitution among
the Indians comes from the Athabasca and
Peace River country. 1t comes in the
form of a petition to the Minister of the
Interior for Canada, and is signed by the
Anglican Bishop for the diocese, six clergy
men and missionaries, and several justices
of the peace. 1t sets out that owing to the
great mortality Of the beavers and other
small game, the Indians, both last winter
and this summer, have been in continual
state of starvation. They are now in a
complete state of destitution, and are un-
able to provide themselves with clothing,
ammunition, or food for winter There are

CONFESSION
Ola Fellow Who Claims Bc Committed .
whatchapel Murder.

WuhtCuHptt
LONDON, Sept. 27.-A shabby, unshaved,
half-drunken man gave himself up to the
police early this morning and said he
wanted to make a confession of tho killing
OF Annie Chapman, the last victim in the
atrocious series of Whitechapel murders.
He gave his name rs John Fitzgerald, a
brick.layer, and said he wanted to mako a
full confession. He asserted that he mur-
dered Annie Chapman and lived in
Ifandburry street, Whitechapel. What he
said further is reserved by the police,
who refuse positively to divulge further
facts. Fitzgerald was Immediately taken
into custody and placed in one Of the cells.
He was not, however, charged in the usual
way, being merely detained. The Scotland
Yard mon are pumping him now. hear
on good authority that he can not even fix
the date Of the murder, and the detectives
are inclined to doubt his story although
there seems to be no reason for his re-
markable confession.

LONDON AoHAsr.
Two More OF Those startiingiy Mysterious
Butcheries OF Women.


LONDON, Sept. 8o.-This morning the
whole city was again startled by the news
that two more murders had been added to
the list OF mysterious crimes that have re-
Gently been committed in Whitechapel.
The two Victims, as In the former cases,
were two dissolute women Of the poorest
class. That tho motive OF the murderer
was not robbery Is shown by the fact that
no attempt was made to despoil the bodies.
The first murder occurred In narrow
court of Berners street, at an early hour
this morning beneath the windows
Of foreigners Socialist club. A
concert was in progress, and many mem
bers Of the club were present, but no sound
was heard from the victim. The same
process had been followed as In the other
cases. The woman had been seized by the
throat and her cries choked, and the mur-
derer, with one sweeping cut, had severed
her throat from ear to ear. A club man on
entering the court stumbled over the body,
which was lying only two yards from the
street. A stream of warm blood was
flowing from the body into the gutter.
The murderer had evidently been dis
turbed before he had time to mutilate his
victim The second murder was commit
ted three quarters of an hour later In
Mitre Square, five minutes walk from the
scene of the first crime. Policemen patrol
the square every ten minutes. The body
of the unfortunate woman had been
disemboweled, the throat cut and the nose
severed. The heart and lungs had been
thrown aside, and the entrails were twist
ed into the gaping wound around the neck.
The incisions show a rough dexterity. The
work Of dissection was evidently done
with the utmost haste. Mitre Square, the
scene Of the second murder, is q thorough
fare. Many people pass through the square
early on Sunday morning, ON their way to
prepare for market in the notorious Petit
coat Lane. The publicity of the place adds
to the daringness of the crime. The police,
who have been severely criticised in con-
nection with the Whitechapel murders,
are paralyzed by the latest crimes.

Another Iowa Liquor pacision.

DEs MONIES, Sept. 2s.-The prohibitory
law has been evaded in many counties by
sellers, who have claimed to be agents Of
Chicago men, and to be selling liquor in
original packages, and several cases against
such dealers are in the courts. Judge
Given decided in such cases that the right
to bring liquors into the State does not
carry the right to sell indiscziminately,
and that the original package must be de.
fined as the package of the distiller, with
the Government stamp attached, and can
not be construed to mean packages put up
by dealers with the express intention Of
evading the laws of the State,
