CHICAGO April 15.-'The business i'll specu-
lauve commodities was less active than the
recent average; III provisions it was of a
midsummer dullness. Wheat at the close
had gained A@Ssc on yesterday latest quo
tations; corn was up 7Sc and oats 12c. New
York reported 81 carloads of wheat worked
there for export and houses here with foreign
connections had numerous bids and in
quiries, but no local business for export was
reported The market opened firmer and
momentarily trifie higher, succeeded by
momentary weakness. and that i'll turn by
further advance. The fluctuations during
the first two hours i'll May were from Sl.05
TO Sl.04S4, up to S1.0JI4 and off again to
Si.0iSs. The bulk was done at within Isc OF
S1.05. July began at from 81. C334 and 81 OBS,
sold at S1.04. then gradually down to Sl.03l2,
working slowly upward until Sl.04 was
touched. The foreign situation held the
market today as it has for some time past
against the rose-cOlored home position as re-
CARDS the next crop. The cables still reported
a good demand for cargoes of wheat for the
continent. Numerous dispatches have tor
week been sent here from ST. Louis reporting
damage to fall wheat III Missouri by the rot,
and they were repeated to-day, but did not
disturb the trade. Baltimore reported
scarcity there of good milling wheat. but at
the same time said that the demand for Eu-
rope had abated. 7 he weather in the North
west was much improved. and that was the i'll
ducement early i'll the session for some selling
short in this market on orders from thence.
The public cables reported the closing of the
foreign markets as frmer i'll tone than some
previously received private dispatches: that

sustained prices 10 the end. May sold up TO
Sl.05l2 and closed at 81. 05ls bid, and July
closed at Sl04l8. The damp weather and
moderate receipts of corn helped that market
at the start. a good demand for the cash
offerings at a considerable premium over
May still further stimulated the demand
from the shorts. May opened at 69$S01G9I2c.
July advanced from CSC TO 6aIsc be-
fore any trading to speak of was done. \
subsequent reaction brought about a temper
arv decline in wheat and took May down fora
moment 10 $3.50, but it afterward advanced
to 6Ss4c closing at 6GSsc July sold off to
6G1sG1664c and up TO &c, and closed within
lsc Of the last-named figures. Oats were
firm and fairly active at narrow range of
prices. Considerable strength was noticea-

Where did James G. Blaine go to
when in Europe?
Where did Senator William N.
Eyarts go to?
Where did Mr.. P. D. Armour go2
Where does every well-infOrmed
man or woman whose system wants
rebuilding go or wish to go to? To
Carlsbad, where exists the greatest
health resort in the world, and has
been known as such for centuries.
Because by wonderful yet mystic
power it builds up the body and re-
news the life quickly yet surely.
Because Carlsbad has become a
name significant of all that is best
i'll renewing life. If. therefore, any
one is unable to go to that famous
resort, the next best thing possible
is to use its waters at home. This
can easily be done, either by using
the imported waters of Carlsbad or
by dissolving some of the genuine
imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in
ordinary water. In this way the
same effects are produced as if
taken at the Springs. Carlsbad
can be brought into every home.

A LOCAL WAR.
White and CoIored Citizens En-.
gagged in Bloody Combat.

New YORK, April 15.-The World
correspondent at Charlotte, n. c., last
night telegraphed his paper as follows:
The trouble between the white and
negro population in this city, which
originated over the murder of Macca,
an Italian. presumably by Henry Brand
ham, colOred, and which led to an at
tempt to lynch the prisoner last night,
is becoming Ominous. News OF the eX-
element spread rapidly, and all trains
leading into the city are crowded
with people from the neighboring
towns. The streets are packed
with excited men. The negroes
are holding a mass meeting tonight to
decide what they will do. The African
NJ. E. church was filled all night long
with crowd of angry negroes, seem
ingly determined Oh mischief. About
O'Clock this morning, squad of negroes
went to the Jail and asked for protec-
ton, stating that the lives of their fell
low men were In imminent danger at
the church. Col. J. L. Anthony at once
dispatched portion of the militia to
the church, and, as the men were being
drawn into line, some negroes, who
were in the cupola, opened fire upon
them. This so lncenSed the military
that the hre was returned and the negro
Church was riddled with bullets. All
the stained glass windows were broken,
and it is reported that sew
eral negroes were badly in
iured. Mayor F. B. Mcdowell is
sued a proclamation this afternoon that
all the barrOOmS in the city must be
closed at $50 o'clock, so that whisky
should not lead the Infatuated mob to
deeds of violence. | had long talk
with Henry Brandham in the Jail this
afternoon. He denied that he ever saw
the Italian, Macca, and declared he
thinks he will have chance for his life,
and that he can secure proof sufficient
to show that he is no murderer. To-
night it is rumored that Brandham is
the man who so brutally murdered an
| old citizen of Greensboro, several weeks
ago, in the same way that Macca was
! murdered. An extra police force of 200
men has Just gone out from police head
quarters to guard the Jail. 1t is not
| thought advisable to put the mill
tary on guard again tonight, as they
were up all night. The hardware stores
have been raided to-day by citizens in
| search of file arms and young men, boys
and all have guns. Never before in the
history of the city has such excitement
existed as during the past twenty-fOur
hours. Crowds OF men have abandoned
their business to Join the mob. The
ladies of the city are badly frightened.
The negroes say they expect to burn
every white church in the city in their
efforts for revenge. The minds of the
whites have wandered from the idea of
lynching and now it is a contest be-
tween white end negro domination.
Grave fears are expressed for the safety
of the city,

WHAT Is THE GRIP ?

ease Carefully Analysed and De-
scribed--What TO Do when 1t
Comes.
Nearly every physician. every scientist and
every sufferer has been asking this great
question: Whet is the Grip? Some have as
serted that it is a dangerous microbe which
comes into the system, breeds several mill
ions every second, and soon overruns the
body with disease Others have said that we
are passing through region of star dust, and
that the minute particles are drawn into the
body with every breath Whatever il may be,
ii is certain that it is something within the
bcGy which is fighting with the body 10 I'M
dermine the life.
What would common sense dictate in such
an emergency? Counteract the enemy. Drive
II from the system. Do not triie with it, Act
promptly and wisely at the first approach
which you can readily detect. Take some
thing which can counteract their deadly in
fiuence. Spirits of some kind are the best
thing TO take, and whiskey is preferable 10
any other kind of spirit; but it should be
borne very carefully in mind that only pure
whisky will have the effect. and it should
also be remembered that Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey stands at the head of all prepa1a-
TONS and is the only medicinal whiskey upon
the market. Scientists have asserted this,
the doctors have verified ii, and millions Of
people have proven it beyond doubt. There
are many INSCRIPTIONS dealers who will as
sure you that any whisky Will answer the
purpose, but they are wrong and are trying
TO deceive you. In case of Grip YOU cannot
afford to take any chances. therefore lake
that which is, beyond question. pure, medci-
nal and the only valuable whisky upon the
market.
