ST. LOUIS CARNIVAL
Brilliant uluminations Herald Fair Week and the Entree of the Yelled Prophet.

 and the Entree of the Yelled Prophet.
 ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. S.-Down town St. Louis is blaze of light tonight. The entire city is lighted every night in the year by electricity, but tonight the powerful arc lights are aided by nearly 53 900 gas jets in globes of many colors producing an effect which beggars description. On Washington Avenue, the ornamental center poles of the elec- tric railway have been covered with gas jets and globss, in addition to the arches wholesale houses on both sides enclose what may be described as three lines of beautiful light. On Broadway and Olive street, the popular retail thoroughfares, the street illuminations are simply dag zling while the store windows are so ar rayed and lighted as to aid in the effect. On Twelfth street, an exceptionally wide thoroughfare, the double row of arches right over the driveways are giving out rays of soft-tinted illumination while the words "Let us have peace" stand out as in letters of fire on the life-like statue of Gen. Grant. Two blocks south a statue of Liberty adorns the way, an enormous torch of gas Illuminating the myriads of upturned faces in the throng.
 The streets are crowded with people who have come in from a considerable distance, many of them to spend Fair Week which commences on Monday and ends October 10th. The illuminasions to- night are acknowledged to be the grandest ever witnessed in St. Louis or out of 1t, and they will be repeated on Tuesday Oct. 9th, and Thursday Oct.sth, the latter being the last light up of the season.
 Despite the crowd on the streets there was not vacant seat in the great Music Hall in the Exposition at Gilmore's two concerts. The Exposition has attracted more visitors than ever before and is a phenomenal success. The Yelled Prophet appears on Tuesday evening when there is to be magnificent parade of floats along the illuminated streets. Available windows to view the parade are being rented for the occasion and tens of thous- ands will do homage to the mystic prince. During the Fair the railroads will bring people here at about half the usual rates and the city is arranging to entertain the i largest crowd that ever came within it's gates. Accommodation for 100000 guests, over and above what the hotels and boarding houses can take care of is placed at the disposal of visitors.
 While St. Louis is spending hundreds of thousands in entertaining and amusing strangers, the wholesale and retail estab- lishments are crowded with guests, many of whom derive as much pleasure from going through them as from witnessing the festivities themselves. The new tin plate industry is an attraction few can withstand and the enormous breweries, tobacco factories, and shoe factories--to mention three industries in which St. Louis leads America--are visited daily by thousands. The Festivities and reduced railroad rates continue until October r.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-What might have been n terrible calamity occurred this morning at the junction of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and Illi- nois Central roads at Grand Crossing. A Lake Shore freight bound for Chicago struck the Illinois Central New Orleans limited passenger train due in the city at 2 o'clock this morning. The ac- cident occurred at $50 o'clock, totally blocking both tracks and putting an embargo on traffic for nearly an hour on the Illinois Central and for five hours on the Lake Shore. Only one person was injured, Thomas c. Lee, a mail clerk on the Illinois Central, re- siding at Centralia, III. He was badly hurt about the head and legs and was sent to his home

 Young Brown -Romayne saw the whole thing in a flash. He was big manly fellow, and he did just what he would have done If Nine thirteen had been big and wore patent-leathers and a twice-around tie. He reached out and shook Nine -thirteen's grimy paw fervently. Then he said four words that bathed the soul of Nine thirteen in bliss: What shall we dop" he asked.

THE SHADOW.
In a bleak land and desolate,

In bleak land and desolate, Beyond the earth somewhere, Went wandering through deaths dark gate A soul into the air. And still as on aud on it fled, A wild waste region through, Behind there fell the steady tread Of one that did pursue. At last he paused, and looked aback; And then he was aware A hideous wretch stood in his track, Deformed, and covering there. "And who art thou he shrieked in fright, That dost my steps pursue. Co; hide thy shapeless shape from sight, Nor thus pollute my view"' The soul form answered him: Always Along thy path fee. I'm thine own actions. Night and day Still must follow thee''

DEALING IN FUTURES ILLEGAL.
Mlunesosa,s supreme Court strikes .
 Blow at Grain SpccuIators.

aBlow at Grain Apcculators.
 ST. PAUL, Minn. Oct. 5.The Su- preme court of Minnesota has reversed the decision of the lower courts and filed decision finding the dealing in grain futures illegal and void. The finding is one of great importance, as two of the largest boards of trade in the country are now located at Minne- apolis and Duluth, the operators on which may now repudiate their con tracts with impunity when on the wrong side of the market,except when they deal in real wheat, oats and other commodities.
 The case is that of Oscar Mohr and Anton Nielsen. dealers on the Milwau- kec board. The Supreme court finds as follows;
 Contracts for the sale and delivery of grain or other commodities to be delivered at u future day are not per SC uniowful where parties in good faith intend to perform them accord ing to their terms. But contracts in form for future delivery. not intended to represent actual transactions, but merely to pay and receive the differ ence between the agreed price and the market price at future day, are in the nature of wagers on the future price of the commodity and void. The order of the lower court is reversed

AT SCHOOL.
The Life of tho Miliionaire's Daughter at
 Boarding Sch hool.


 Even in schools that refuse to accept girls unless there is reasonable chance of their getting through the year it is not unusual for one third to be entered by their parents with the warning that their daughters are deli cate and will need special considera- tion and watching-a warning in all probability followed by the request that they shall not be bothered with mathematics These weakly ones, if their mothers leave them alone. and if they themselves become interested in their work by dint of three or four extra hours for rest and exercise, manage to hold out through the year, and frequently end it in improved health. But unless these two condi- tions are fulfilled they often fall by the way. Nervousness, backache, weak ness, loss of appetite, generally follow soon upon the realization that school means work. A hard lesson to be mastered lays a girl low with head- ache or dissolves her in floods of tears Tears, indeed, especially during the Hrst part ot the year, aro OI ually downfall. Tears bedew knotty prob- lens, tears greet the refusal to allow boxes of candy. tears fall copiously when overshoes are insisted upon and when short fur capes are declared in sufficient covering for zero weather. Moreover let the fun run a bit too high, or mischievous boy tap on the window in the evening, or mouse suddenly appear, and only a dose of plain English and the valerian bottle prevent an epidemic of mysteries. - Charlotte w.
