THE WIFE AT SITUATION.

The more the Washington bureau re-
port of the wheat situation is studied the
more bullish it appears. 1t reveals more
clearly what to many seemed quite clear
before. that there is very little wheat in
this country in excess of domestic re-
quirements, and that foreign demand
much smaller than the average for a
series of years past must of necessity
stimulate prices. An eastern trade jour
nal SAYS receipts of wheat at interior
points do not show the expected increase,
and the inspection at Minneapolis is not
encouraging as TO the quality of so much
of it as has come to that market. Farm
ers are reported to be reluctant sellers in
the winter wheat section, and millers are
paying more than parity of values rul-
ing at central markets. Consequently
receipts at primary winter wheat points
are smaller than they otherwise would
be. Although there are no export pur-
chases of wheat, a fair shipping demand
for flour is reported, and export clear
ances of it are liberal. The markets
seem to have received the desired slim
ulus for a fresh upward movement in
prices, and the prospects are that another
sharp advance will be made before its
effects are expanded.

1t seems to be requiring good deal of
coaxing and persuading to get the sigma
lures of the presiding officers of the house
and senate to the river and harbor bill,
even after it has passed both houses.
There is doubt in the minds of some
whether or not the president will sign it.
owing to some Objectionable provisions.
An effort was made few years ago to
change the rules so as to allow the presi.
dent to ap; rove such portions of an APP
preparation bill as his judgment should
dictate as for the public welfare, and to
reject others that his judgment did not
approve. The public interest unquestion-
ably calls for such latitude of authority
for the chief executive, but it would be
a deadener to the purposes and methods
of many an aspiring statesman.

DEATH OF JOHN WHISTLER.
,nsas Citr Trareler. septemher 1s.

| Arkansas CITY Traveller. September IS.
John Whistler, of Sac and Fox agency,
died at the Fifth Avenue hotel at about 1
o'clock yesterday. He came here with
his family about two months ago TO be
treated for consumption, from which he
had been suffering for about year. His
wife and children, and Mrs. Means of
Sac and Fox agency, and sister, Mary. or
Newport, KY, are here with him. Dick
Hawthorne, his faithful friend and man.
ager for more than dozen years, arriv-
ed last evening. The deceased was born
in Chicago fifty-tYo years ago. He was
lieutenant and scout during the civil
war and was trusted with many import
ant matters. The Whistler fam
lily has been fighters, having had
representative in the regular
army during the revolutionary war
and ever since to the present day. His
great grandfather WIS an officer in the
revolutionary war. His grandfather
Colonel Whistler, served in the war of
1912, in the Mexican war, and died in
service in the war of the rebellion. His
uncle, General Garland Whistler, is in
the army. His great uncle was the civil
engineer who built the railroad from
Moscow to st. Petersburg, Russia. The
car proffered him honors which an
American citizen could not accept. \
valuable walking cane was then present
ed him by the car. General WhIstlers
son is a lieutenant in the service now.
1t is the family record that the father of
the deceased was the first male child
born in Chicago. AT one time Colonel
Whistler commanded at Fort Dearborn,
Chicago, the son being ensign at the time.
James Whistler, artist, is son of the civil
engineer mentioned. The fathers sister
married Kinsey, of early Chicago his
tory. He was brother of General Hun
ter's wife, and through this relationship
General Sheridan's wife is second cousin
to the deceased. He joined the Sac and
Fox tribe many years ago, and has ever
been prominent among them since. He
was influential in the last negotiations of
the government with the Sac and Foxes.
1t is said of him by many who know that
he was ever kind, generous to a fault,
loyal. brave and honest. The family and
friends with the remains will depart on
the 1870 a. m. train south today for the
Sac and Fox agency, where the funeral
and burial will take place.

Worse than that; it piled our ports of

the panic which Window relieved at the
expense of the American people, but the
extra per cent. warranted by the McKin-

day that the president signs the bill,
which added millions will come out of
the pockets or the American consumer
and go into the pockets Of the New York

Today this world seems dreary,
over me is darkness cast.
once this world was bright and CHEEKY,
But its brightness didn't last.
Once thought my friends all loved me.
That their love would eer decay;
Their affections greatly moved me,
And my cares few quick away.
But the pleasures that once blessed me-
All the joys have known.
All the friends that once caressed me
Have alike. together flown.
And wander sad and lonely

In my heart is this hope only:
There cometh a brighter day.

By Eugene Ware.
On a tree there sat a crow,
In his bill a chunk Of cheese,
On the ground a fox below
Said: Some music if you please.
You are beautiful OF wing.
And bet that you can sing"
Cheered by fattery, the crow
Sang and dropped the cheese below
Then the cunning fox did seize
To that fallen chunk Of cheese,
And he calmly lugged it of,
And he sco1fed the song with scoH.
MORAL:
When they pat you on the back;
When they say that you're the one;
When they say you re on the track,
And have been obliged to run;
When their compliments denote
They are going for your vote,
You can do Just As you please,
But-you'd better watch your cheese
