IMPRISONMENT FOB DEBT.
A Method Of Getting Even That is Going
Out of Fashion at Chicago.

Out OF Fashion at Chicago.
Chicago Globe.l
That impecunious debtors are incar-
cerated in the Jail and held there for long
periods OF time, is we'll known to the aver
age citizen, and it is a popular belief that,
once in Jail for debt, a man can be kept
there-if unable to pay up-until he is gray
whIskered and bald headed.
Jailer Price, when questioned on the sub
jeet, laughed loud and long. "Debtors,"
said he, "are now about as scarce in this
jail as white blackbirds. Formerly, credi-
tor could cage his debtor and keep him in
prison until he either paid up or the credi-
tor grew weary of paying the captiye's
board. Men were thus kept, sometimes, for
years. About two years ago the law was
changed so that debtor cannot be confined
more than six months. The result is that
debtors aren't brought in very often.
1t is too expensive and unsatisfactory way
of getting even with them. There is only
one man confined here now under the debt
laws, and don't think ne objects much"
The solitary prisoner proved to be Gusta-
vus Loehr, who, on judgment of 1922 O9,
has been imprisoned since September 27.
Mr.. Loehr, who is good looking and gen.
tlemanly young German, is the picture Of
health and happiness.
81 don't regard my imprisonment as a
very serious misfortune" he said. 81 re-
fused to pay what regarded as blaekmail
and am Gagged here In consequence"

MARKETS BY WIRE.
Wheat Does Some Tumbling Under an On
slaught of the Sellers-Corn Dumped,
No One Wanting to Hold It
Other Weak Spots.

Other weak Spots.
CHIcAGO-The market for wheat opened
about Nc higher than it closed yesterday. The
first general trading price was E%c. There
were two or three trades made at s75sc. but the
great majority of the crowd were vainly en-
deavoring to sell at that. There was gradual
and inanimate dragging decline until the price
struck 97L, and this point being reached, busi-
ness ceased ALMOST entirely for couple Of
hours, About IL o'clock the intensified dull
ness Of the proceedings was relieved for short
time by slight increase Of selling pressure,
during which the price fell to 965sc in few
minutes
The downward impetus impaired to the mar
ket woke it completely from it previous somno-
lescent condition and there was moderate
degree of activity while prices retreated before
the onslaught of the sellers until May was
quoted at 911I@96ssc or about lc per bushel
below yesterdays closing price. There was
only slight recovery toward the following con-
tinued of the previous weakness and the mar
ket closed 94c for July. July was maintain
ed during the greater part of the session ut
a discount of about 454Q4c7sc under May.
The corn market was moderately steady but
fearfully and wonderfully dull until wheat be.
gan its tumbling, after which no one had any
use for corn but as an article to be disposed of
on the shortest possible notice and without any
particular regard to the price attainable. The
opening price for May was about Nc improve
ment on the prices at the close of preceding
sessions. The fluctuations were confined be-
tween 5l5sc and 5ll4c during the forenoon but
when the break started the price quickly set
tied until it finally touched 5Ossc. The closing
price. 503<@501sc, shows decline since Friday
of about Mc per bushel
Oats were quiet and steady around 43sl444c
for May until the last half hour, when Pardridge
raided the market. causing decline to 431lc.
The trading was light and all on local account.
The provision market started lower appar-
emily because there were rather more hogs than
had been looked for, and they were bringing
lower prices at the yards. There was a steady
feeling during the earlier hours Of the session.
but later decided weakness was the rule and
prices made an easy descent, from which there
was no subsequent change, weakness being the
prevailing feeling at the close. The packers
were free sellers of ribs Closing prices were
lower considerably than on Friday for all de-
scriptions of products. Pork declined zoe to
2215c, lard 215 to &C. and ribs 10c to 1215c.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor.

A BARKING sCARFPIH,
Startling Effect Produced in q Club by a
New Invention.

Startling Effect Produced in Club by a
New Invention.
New York Times-l
A member of one Of the uptown clubs
caused something of sensation in the
smoking room of his club few nights ago.
As he Joined group of gentlemen it was
noticed that he wore a unique pin in his
scarf. 1t was large dogs head made of
oxidized silver. Its eyes were tiny diamonds
and its mouth was red enamel. While the
wearer's friends were looking at the pin and
commenting upon it the red mouth of the
silver dog opened and succession of sharp
barks issued therefrom.
The effect was startling at first, but as the
barking continued several members of the
club pressed about the owner of the pin,
curious to examine ''the new trick" The
wearer of the decoration, after enjoying the
sensation that he had created for awhile,
unbuttoned his waistcoat and disclosed
long rubber tube attached to the pin on the
under side of the scarf. The tube extended
down into one of the pockets of the gentle
mans trousers, terminating in rubber
bulb. BY repeatedly pinching the bulb the
wearer OF the pin was able to cause the
sounds to issue from the dogs mouth. Thus
does the Yankee mind triumph again.

Marrow Escape of q Gold Prospsctor Who

Chicago Tribune.1
"You wouldn't think that man was worth
several millions, would your" said Will
Cunningham of the Palmer House, pointing
to man apparently about 38 years old,
who had just inquired where he could find
bird store.
The man pointed out was one whom
women would term handsome. He had .
well-cared-for mustache, was feet 2, broad
shouldered. straight as an Indian, regular
features, dark complexioped, and bright,
hazel eyes. But he did not look like mill
ionaire, and anyone to see him in his plain,
but neat-ftting, business suit, were it not
for the three-karat diamond he wore in his
shirt front, would take him for the super
intendent of a mine instead of the owner of
one of the richest claims in Arizona.
The visitors name is Napoleon Bonaparte
Lazard and his bonanza is at Tombstone,
Arizona. Mr.. Lazard has had many re-
markable and thrilling experiences, and
the difficulty he had in guarding his claim,
which he secured years ago during the gold
excitement would make an interesting
narrative. A daring and unscrupulous
crowd of miners during the excitement,
learning the value of Mr.. Lizards claim,
attempted to deprive him of it, and because
he was not timid enough to be frightened
off by threats resorted to more radical
measures.
One night when he was sleeping in his
tent on his claim 300 angry miners dragged
him out and strung him up to a tree. He
was lowered several times and asked if he
would not depart from the country. He re-
fused, and was again strung up. -Four or
five resolute fellows in the party so admired
the young mans bravery that one of them
stepped up to the tree and severed the rope
with huge bowie knife. Then, with drawn
revolvers, they threatened to shoot the first
man who interfered. Lazard was carried
back to his tent, and his new friends, while
working their own claims, took good care
that Lazard was not again molested.

Trading Shows Handsome Increase.
There was a moderate business in oil during
the week, while prices were well maintained,
showing an advancing tendency from the start.
The close was l55s cents better than the opening.
Clearings for the five days were 10S 600 barrels,
against 81, coo the previons week of six days.
There were several bullish features in active
operation, which toned up the market and en-
couraged the "boys." One was the expectation
that the producers will soon find way to es-
cape from the clutches of the Standard, and
another was the stagnation in field work as a
result of the snow storm. Fluctuations for the
day and week are appended:
