Wheat Sold In Anticipation of Storm In
the eNorthwest-Cor and Oats Let
Go-HoR Products in

Light demand.
Wheat was more active and the feeling was
weaker and unsettled to-day. July opened at
about yesterdays closing, receded Zc@Xc,
and closed Nc lower than yesterday June was
firm and closed &c higher. There was rather
more disposition to realize among speculative
traders
Operators evidently had bought considerable
wheat the past few days on report of dry
weather, and some of this wheat was sold out
in anticipation of ram in the northwest before
Monday. 1t was rumored that rain had fallen
at Fargo, and the weather bureau reports in
dications of severe rain Storm which is like
ly to work East from the Northwest. These
influences caused the selling of considerable
wheat At the same time at the decline there
was good buying.
A moderate business was reported in corn.
and the feeling prevailing was easier. The
market opened shade better than the closing
prices yesterday, and gradually sold off L@SSc,
ruled steady and closed 10Ic lower than yes
terday. There was some changing of June and
July at 5000 premium for the latter month.
A weaker feeling prevailed in oats, owing to
quence and desire on the part of large
trader to sell the May delivery Offerings Of
the latter we're liberal and psiees declined nc.
The more deferred futures, although declining
and command greater premi I'm, changes from
June to July being made atA976c against 1sc
yesterday.
Only q fair business was transacted in hog
products and the feeling was es.sier Offerings
on speculative account were not very large and
the demand from all sources was exceedingly
limited. Prices for the leading articles aver
aged lower, the market closing Tame

fire was burning in the bedroom, another
In the study. The former did not burn freely
at first; puffs of wind occasionally sent Whlf1s
OF smoke out of the CRATE into the study. Mrs.
Sidebottom moved from one room to the other,
grumbling. One room was cold and the otner
smoky. Finally she elected to sit in the study.
BY opening the door on to the landing slightly,
draught was established which prevented the
smoke from entering the room.
She threw herself into a rocking-chair, such
as is found in every Yorkshire house from that
Of the manufacturer to that of the mechanic.

Presently she heard voices in the room be-

she read on. She began to take some pleasure
in the story. She had come on an account Of a

About the Lucky Winner,

The following anecdotes published by
The Paris Gaulois: "'Here, old man,
here's your lottery ticket! l picked it
out myself. It's good 'un, and no mis-
take All fright, my lad If l get the
big prize, remember there's 1000 francs
for you These were the words ex-
changed "a few months ago between NJ.
Franssens, master printer, the lucky
winner of the 100000 francs in the re-
cent drawing of the exhibition bonds,
and the printers apprentice in The
Lahure offices, Now, it fell out, week
or so back-about the end of October
that the boys arm was caught in some
machine gearing and terribly mutilated.
His case was hard one, and he felt his
position terribly, for all labor was hence
forth shut away from him. He had
nothing to look forward to but want and
misery. On Nov. 8 there was knock
at the door of his humble lodging, and
NJ. Franssens walked in, You see,
young 'un, I've won; and look here, as
soon as | touch the money you'll have
your 10000 francsr Imagine, if you
can, the joy of the poor, helpless lad,
lifted from the depths of despair to the
seventh heaven!"-London Standard.

Living Without n Head,

Mr.. Caldwell, of Godmanchester,
Huntington, tells of rooster that was
persisting in living out in his country
under peculiar circumstances. On the
evening of Oct. 81 Mr.. John Leahy chop
ped off the heads of two roosters and left
the bodies lying in the woodshed. On
going out in the morning to pluck them
he found one standing and apparently
alive. Although minus the greater por-
ton of the head it is living still, and
when Mr.. Caldwell saw the fowl on
Saturday last it was apparently doing
well and promises to become somewhat
celebrated, as young man named
Brian OConnor has purchased it, after
wards selling half interest to friend
for S25, it is said, and they intend putting
it on exhibition. The head is off short
distance from the ear, leaving one of these
and portion of the comb intact. A por-
ton of the brain must also be uniniured,
since when the food is brought to the
neck the gullet projects and the food
placed in it quickly swallowed. The own
ers are taking the best Of care Of their bird.

A Remarkably Cave in Indiana.

n. II. Sturm, of Indianapolis, and
Richard Penckert. OF Spencer, have dis
covered a cave near Spencer. Last
night they explored it, The entrance is
hole 20 feet deep and about 3 feet in
diameter. At the bottom begins a mar
row and steep passage, running northeast
about 35 feet. Atthe end of this passage
was a step off of about s feet, and imme-
diately to the left was chamber about
8 feet in diameter, the walls rising grad
ually in the form of cone, meeting at
a point overhead so feet from the floor.
The walls were hung with numerous
stone pendants, water at the time drip
ping down. A passageway, IS inches
wide and 10 feet long, led from this OPEN
ing toward the northwest to another
chamber similar to the first, but about 60
feet high.
A paSsageway then brought the party
into still another room, it being a little
smaller than the first. From this mar
row isle, go feet long and feet high, led
northwest to very small opening or
manhole, through which the reporter
crawled with lamp, and found that the
passage was blocked by large quantity
of sand and debris, brought by the rains
that pour at times down the whole cave.
At the end of this last passage there
led off two openings. about as large as
stovepipe. Stamping on the ground
brought out the fact that a chamber was
at some place under this last passage.
This week hole will be drilled to find
if such cavity exists, and also the en-
trance will be enlarged, making it easier
Of access. The fact that the water dis
appears downward, the upper current of
air, and the hollow sound above men,
toned, go to prove that there is another
cavity, probably larger than any of the
rest. The estimated depth of the cave
from the general surface is 150feet. The
party spent an hour and fifteen minutes
under ground.-Martinsville Qnd.) Cor.

The Village Blacksmith's Rival.

To see lightning assume the role of a
blacksmith is sight which no man ex-
pected to witness few years ago. Tho
utter subjugation of the element that
gives the thunderstorm its majesty and
that cleaves the granite of the mountain
peak, was manifested all last week, in
the working of bit of mechanism in
Mechanical hall. A rapid adjustment of
two bits of cold steel, touch upon a
lever, and, 10! about the junction of the
pieces Of metal there flashed a circlet of
cherry red that soon became snow white
with intensity of heat. While ones
watch licked score the fierce heat made
the two bits of hard steel one, and the
work was ended. No human hands, or
fire kindled by man, could perform the
same work in so perfect way, or so
swiftly. 1t was a wedding in which a
busy dynamo mile away was the offici-
ating power, and it was sight full of
interest and beauty. In the hands of all
potent man, the thunderbolt of Jupiter
becomes the rival of the village black
smith. The possibilities of the process
of electric welding are wellnigh limit
less.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

The Most Popular Author.

If an authors popularity may be esti-
mated from the sale of his books, have
incidentally discovered the most popular
of American writers. And yet, up to
within week ago, l had never heard
his name, as will probably be the case
with many who read this paragraph.
The author is Mr.. J. w. Buel, his city of
residence do not know. Mr. Buel has
written fourteen books, the aggregate
circulation of which exceeds $500, 900
copies, His works are all of religious
or philosophical nature, and are sold on
the subscription plan. The most popu-
lar is his Beautiful Story" which has
reached sale within only 5000 of 600,-
600 copies in less than two years. His
last two works, 1.-The Living World" and
"The Story of Man," have both gone be-
yond 25O,000 copies each, and are in
dorsed by Mr.. Gladstone and Bismarck.
During 1888, Mr.. Buel's royalties
amounted to $33, 900, and this year they
will exceed $4,000. do not know Mr..
Buel or his publishers, and these figures
were secured independently, but of their
accuracy there is no doubt. Mr.. Buel,
as will be plainly seen, is beyond the
need of advertising, and give him this
gratuitous mention simply to show how
popular an authors works may become,
and yet his name remain unknown to
the literary world, or to the public at
large for that matter.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

Alpheus did not have more trouble in
reaching Arethuse than Conductor Bell,
of the Louisville and Wadley road, had
in getting to his bride. The groom had
long loved young lady of Louisville
Her parents objected very strenuously to
their marriage, and used all the means
possible to thwart their desires. Like
lovers the world over, opposition but
strengthened their affection and deter.
mination to marry any way. Tuesday
night was set as the time for an elope-
ment. In some way the old folks got an
inkling of what was contemplated.
When the expectant groom arrived he
found the house well guarded. The
parents had the trump card for the time

Wednesday came, and the turn of the
wheel threw good fortune into the lap of

was waiting, heart in mouth, and, as the
old expression goes, "twixt love and
duty swayed." Love was victorious.

aboard. Reaching Wadley, minister
was summoned, the ceremony performed
and the trip then continued to Savan-
