ANOTHER WHEAT CIRCULAR.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec 12-The Alliance
organ the State is out this week with
another "hold-your-wheat" circular, and
presents the usual array of figures to
show that the farmer will profit by follow
ing the advice laid down therein. 1t holds
that Russia is entirely out of the race,
that India is practically so, and that the
present and future deliveries from the
farmers of India will fill but small
portion of the requirements 1t does not
advise the farmer to create an unnecessary
scarcity or TO repudiate his debts. but to
sell only what he is obliged 10 when the
receipts are large and increasing. and
when they are on the decline TO sell only a
certain portion each month. The export
ing capacity of the United States is
figured at 14O, 600 coo bushels more than
last years, which falls 10000. 600 bushels
short of supplying the worlds deficit.
Taking all this into account. the author Of
the circular claims that if the farmer
should not get twice what he is now
offered for his wheat it will be his own

RAILWAY NOTES.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12-Vice Chairman De
fald and the general passenger agents of
the lines in the Central Traffic association
left for New York today to attend the
meeting of the joint passenger committee
in that city on Monday. The meeting will
consider the report prepared by the board
of rulings, in which that body admits its
failure to carry out the scheme for abolish
ing commissions and attributes it to in
consistencies in the agreement. The report
sets forth that the agreement must be
amended before it can be enforced. Unless
the amendments are made, and unless all
the lines concerned are willing to live up
to its provisions. the board of rulings de-
sires TO be released from further obliga-
tions, as the authority conferred upon it
has not been generally recognized by the
roads in interest. Nobody seems to con-
slider it probable that a new agreement
will be adopted or that further attempts
will be made to enforce the present one.
Thus far the Erie seems to have no no.
tion of reconsidering its action in resum-
ing traffic relations with the Chicago and
Alton.
Chairman Finley has authorized the
western roads to meet the action OF the
Chicago and Alton in extending the lines
of Christmas and New Years excursion
tickets from Chicago to Kansas City,
Leavenworth, Atchison, St. Joseph and
Des Moines, on the basis of a fare and on e.
third for the round trip.
The Times says that charges are being
made that several of the roads between
Chicago and the Missouri river are paying
the Street Stable Car company exorbitant
mileage for 1.-THE use of palace stock
cars. The railroad agreement allows the
payment of "a of a cent per mile, but it is
claimed that cents per mile is paid, and
that the car company then divides with
the shippers, thereby effecting a cut rate
without coming under the jurisdiction of
the interstate commerce law In addi-
tion the Street company is waging a war
of determination on its smaller competi-
tors, with the view of securing a monopo-
ly for palace stock car service. The mat
ter will probably be brought before the
railroad associations for an investigation.

The Famous Death Valley to Be Ex-
plOred.

From the Telegram we learn that
Secretary of Agriculture Rusk has
been some time engaged in organic
ing an expedition to explore the fa>
nous Death Valley in Colorado. This
region is a veritable terra incognita,
The heat there is so intense that dead
animals do not decompose. Water in
the valley is unknown, and the expe-
dition VIII carry water and food for
mules and men 1t is a question
whether the animals will be able to
survive the expedition. Two of the
chief bottanists of the department are
at present working their way into
the valley from Southern Nevada,
while another expedition is on the
march from Southern California. The
two expeditions are expected to meet,
fnothing goes wrong with them, at "a
point previously decided upon in the
valley. Professor Merriam will leave
in few days to take charge OF the
expedition,
There are reasons to believe that
there are rich gold and silver
mines in the region named. A
story is told of an adventurous miner
who some years ago penetrated into
the valley and found the skeleton OF a
miner. A wooden p il was lying
mar it, and in it a chunk of gold OF
great value. Ga bis return to Cali
tornia he showed his fluid to a group
of miners. Their cupidity was so ex.
cited that, other means failing, they
tortured him to make him confess
where he had found the gold, beiev,
ing that he had discovered gold
mine, the location OF which he would
not reveal.
The scientific men with the expe-
dition will map the county and pro.
cure specimens OF such animals aud
insects as exist there, il any do exist.
Secretary Rusk regards the expedi.
ton as of great importance.-Scien-
tifc Am erican.

4 Very Youthful Bride,

In the steamship m-terdam from
Amsterdam, which arrived at this
port yesterday, was Malakeh Cosu
but i years old aud seven months
bride. Her husband, Yuzf Simwan,
16 years Of age. and her own mother
accompanied her. The bride and
groom are Arabs from Mt. Lebanon,
and were married seven months ago.
For two years prior to that time the
groom ha / spent his time in this coun,
try, and by his industry succeeded in
accommodating little money. He then
returned to Arabia and married. The
bride is certainly a most beautiful
person. She has black eyes with
heavy, dark eye>lashes, rosy cheeks,
black hair and the most symmetrical
features possible. She stands about
four feet two inches 10 height and
weighs 100 pounds. N. Y. Press.
