ST. PAUL, Dec. l2.-The Alliance or
gan, The STATE, is out this week with an
other Hold YOU wheat" circular, and
presents the usual array OF figures to show
the farmer will profit by following the ad-
vice laid down therein. 1t holds that
Russia is entirely ont of the race and In
dia is practically so. and the present and
future deliveries from the farmers will fill
but a small portion of the requirements.
1t does not advise the farmer to create
unnecessary scarcity or repudiate
debts, but sell only what be is obliged to
when the receipts are large and increasing
and when they are on the decline to sell
only a certion portion each month. The
exporting capacity of the United States is
figured at I 40, OOO, 900 bushels more than
last year. which falls 40, 900, 900 short of
supplying the deficit. This 40. OO0, 600
bushels would supply Europe with bread
for nineteen and a half DAYS only. TAX
ing all this into account, the anthor of the
circular asserts that if the farmer does not
get twice what is now offered for wheat
il is his own fault.

first symptom is hoarsencss; then the
child appears to have taken a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse-
ness from the start. After that a pecu-
liar rough cough is developed, which is
followed by the Group. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarsn; a

a rough cough has appeared the disease

Chile.s BeIIIgerenr Attitude.

NEW YORK, Dec. Especial cores.
poudence Of the Associated press from
Valparaiso, under date of Nov. ~, tells
Of the continued i'll treatment of Ameri-
cans; of the refusal Of the intendents OF
the city to promise police protection to
the market boats of the Baltimore, neces-
stating their provisions being sent out by
private boats to the cruiser.
At the date of the letter there was
living on the Baltimore a Doctor Stanley,
a British subject, who had been a resi-
dent OF Chile a number of years. He was
a witness to the attack upon Turnbull,
the Baltimore sailor who received twenty
knife wounds in the affray of last month
and afterwards died. DIR. Stanley de-
Tended the man as well as he could aud
afterward took him to the hospital and
cared for him
1t was known that his testimony would
be damaging and a few days later he was
assaulted and arrested. All efforts were
made to prevent his testimony being
taken, but when he was released from
prison he went aboard the Baltimore for
protection. The members of the crew of
the Baltimore subscribed nearly $500 in
gold and purchased a monument, suitably
incribed. to place over the graves of Rig
GIN and Turnbull. Another case of
cruelty TO the American seamen has at
tracted attention. The American steamer
Kcweenaw, from New York for San
Francisco. stopped at Valparaiso for re-
pairs in October. One of her crew Pat.
rick Shields, was arrested for drunken.
ness.
The man admits he was drunk, but says
he was given no hearing at all and was
refused permission to communicate with
his captain on the vessel or the American
consulate. He was kept u. work clean
ing the streets more than a week and bru-
tally beaten by the police. When re-
leased he was scarcely able to walk, his
back and rims being a mass of bruises,
and according to the statement of the
surgeons who attended him he received
internal injuries which will prevent him
from working for several months.
Consul McCrcery took the man to the
indente's to show the latter his injuries,
but the Indente declined to look at HIM,
though he promised to investigate the
matter. No conclusion had been reached
in the case up to the date of the letter.

PL. Mitchell, conservstor, and the heirs
of the Warren estate, received official
notification from Secretary of the Treas
ury Foster this morning of the selection
ing of lots and 2. block 10. of the War
rem estate at the southwest corner Of Sec

Foster states that q bond will be required
in the sum of SIS 600 from Mr.. Mitchell
for an amount sufficient to cover all dams
ages incidental to the condemnation pro-
ceedings over and above the $4,000
which the government stipulates shall be
expended for site; that the attorney

will be disposed of at the October term
of court which convenes at Peoria the
third Monday In the month.
Mr.. Mitchell responded this morning
to Mr.. Fosters letter complying with
the requirements therein contained and
it appears to be settled fact now that
the formalities necessary to the govern >
menrs obtaining possession of the site
will be disposed of this fall so that the
work of erection may be entered upon
early 10 the spring.
1t is now suggested that the city take
steps to have the two blocks on Sixteenth
between Third and First paved early in
the spring. which will insure frst-class
street approaches 10 The government
building from all directions. An ordi-
nance embodying East and West Seven
teenth below Secnnd, tie two blocks on
Sixteenth suggested, and one on Fifteenth
between Second and Third would insure
the main business center entirely paved.
Property is already improving all about
the location of the government building
Conservator Mitchell will also make an
effort to obtain authority from court to
dispose of the lot of the Warren property
on the corner opposite the building site in
q manner which will insure a substantial
business block thereon. Tnere is fair
ly good prospect of a Masonic temple
going up on that corner.
As m evidence of how property is i'm
proving in the neigbborhood of the build
ing, the sale of the Wagner building at
1907 Second avenue may be cited. J. NJ.
Buford offered it for sale in THE ARGUS
the other night and the next morning be-
fore breakfast he had it sold to Beecher

1t is understood that DR.. Gregg and

blocks on Second avenue early in the

be shattered to thousand pieces on
the cabin floor. "a good catchl" some
one shouted. Bravo" cried another,
while running fire of applause and
hand-clapping went over the cabin that
changed the situation entirely. A hum
Of laughter and conversation arose on

the river. The crowd was all good nat
ure and smiles. Some ono had amused
the people and they were content.
