The drummer boy shook his head.
"But YOU" said the CAPTAIN, look
ing at him attentively "you must
have lost good deal of blood, to be
as weak as. that"
'I4ost much blood?" answered the
boy, with q smile. "More than blood.
Look"
And with a jerk he pulled off the
covering.
The captain stepped back. Mortified.
The boy had but one leg; his left ley
had been anputated above tho knee
and the stump was bandaged with
rags which were covered with blood.
Just then q fat little army surgeon
passed i'll his shirt sleeves.
'Ah. Captain" he said, quickly, nod.

And he hurried away.
The captain frowned and looked in.
tently at the drummer boy while draw

slowly, almost without knowing it, and
still looking at him, he raised his hand

Then he threw himself with open
arms on the little drummer boy, and
kissed him three times on the heart.

The Great Foot Race.

The foot race al Davenport last Sstur-
day between Wilson, of this CITY, and the
mysterious Cregar, of Streator, has at
tracted much comment by the press
throughout the state The Strestor Free
Press, for instance, makes the following
interesting allusion to it;
The Ottawa Times. in commenting on
the great race which Harry Cregar won
at Davenport last Saturday makes a
statement, which if properly quoted, was
needless on the part of the author. 1t
says, Harry Cregar. the winner of the
big race at Davenport, la on Saturday
last was in the city today. Mr.. Cregar
says that Streator is not his home. He
was born in Ottawa and lived here until
he was four years old, and thinks that he
has just as good right to call Ottawa his
home, as Srreator, In regard to the race
on Saturday, he said that he had a pro-
fessional Splinter to run against. He Is
not man from either Rock Island oil
Davenport, and it is not known what his
name Is, or where he came from, BY Gre
gar. 1t is thought, however, that this
man is none other than Quirk, of Canada
who carried of prizes in several of the
biggest races ever run in this country
Mr.. Cregar says that his introduction to
the sporting world as sprinter is owing
TO Philip DOwney, of this city, who ha
backed him in every race he ran since h
became acquainted with him. Mr.. Dow
ney was the man that made the arrange
ments and confirmed the match for tn
race on Saturday. He was the onl
hacker Of Cregar and it was his money
which amounted to S. 600 that the sport
of Rock Island and Davenport had an op
portunity of winning but didn't"
Harry's disowning Streator reminds u
of the man who was discharged, threaten
ing to resign. Never, since that '1ittl
accident whereby Cregar's hackers, the
Streator people, lost heavily, has Harr
been Streator man Billy Niger is goo
enough for US.

GeNERAL BUSINESS OUTLOOK.


Dun & Co. Take an Encouraging View of
the Sifuation-Tbe Corn Crop.
NEW York, Sept 90 R G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: Doubt about
the corn crop has vanished Estimates vary
either way from 2,0l5, 600, 900 bushels, bnt it
is doubtless the largest crop ever raised The
increase of more than $50, 600 600 bushels in
this crop far outweighs in value any loss in
the yield of wheat, and also any possible loss
in the yield of cotton, but the yield in oats is
also the largest on record, and the yield of
hay and potatoes is excellent It is safe to
say that this years agricultural products
will represent at least 800, 900 more than
last year IS at average prices for both. In view
of this great gain in the actual production of
wealth, it is natural to expect increased &C.
tivity in business and manufactures but as
| yet the Improvement has been but moderate
| This is in part because trade has been checked
by artificial prices. A corner in wheat put
the price for September at 81 q at Chicago
on Thursday and there is talk of much
| higher figures, the rise here being cents for
the week, but meanwhile exports are not
large, and seaboard prices have for some
time been relatively too high for foreign
markets The operators in cotton also have
gone so far that English manufacturers have
begun to work short time in order to "Dreak
the corner" and in this country the demand
for cotton goods is slow and conservative.
| Print cloths have declined to 3 n cents, and
each day the market for goods is reported
more moderate In the same way specula-
tion in wool has checked the manufacturing
demand, for while the supply is undoubtedly
| short, the pressure of foreign goods at low
prices prevents an advance in prices by pro
ducers here
In pork products prices have yielded but
little, and picking falls much behind last
years, though th. foreign demand has been
fair Corn has fallen but one cent, notwith
standing the great yield At Kansas City
the market for cattle is oversiocked, and
prices are SO low as to check movement.
