NEW YoRK, August 19.-The wild animals
in the wheat pit could scarcely be restrained
until the opening hours, and when the gong
struck they set up a scream and kept it up
during the days session.
Wheat opened at $l.17, but soon settled t.
and nuctuated about $1.15; then around 81 IA
Bids were made aud taken as high as 81. 1e
and this figure was actually made simulta-
neously with $1.141<, in the bowling excite
ment.
Brokers. the cooler heads among them,
bought with one hand and sold with the other
simultaneously, making fine profits. De-
cember bids, all these.
ST. LoUIs.-Satutday's markets closed
leaving crowds OF gamblers on the verge of
bankruptcy; but sort of trucs Was patched
up early Monday morning. which saved the
most of them to go and get another bite.
CHIcAGo.-The rapidity and wide fuctua-
tiOns in the wheat pit exceeded anything ever
before seen here.
At all points the bull market was made en-
tlIely on foreign demands, which was the
feature. Cables from Berlin said that the
German government was a large buyer of
wheat. having decided to substitute wheat
for rye IN its army contracts.
The general notice is that the shortage of
wheat abroad has drawn many foreign buy
ers into the market, and that the upward
tendency has found Chicago holders short.

In his talk at Albany, Mr.. Harrison said:

On the corner of one of the business
streets of the city the other morning a
shoeblack had Just finished polishing
the shoes of a well dressed and gentle
appearing man. The latter was unfor-
tunate in having a deformity which
compelled him to wear a shoe on one
of his feet with an exceedingly thick
sole, thus endeavOring to make up
mechanically for what nature had
denied him.

asked of the boy.
Five cents, sir.

they thought it prudent 10 do SO, they would
then ask to be relieved of the load of dollars
IN their pockets and got them exchanged for

rNne-Writers. Evea

Almost every typewriter sooner or
later has trouble with her eyes. The
type-writing machine is supposed to
save the eyes, but the effect is quite
the contrary. The eyes are all the
time in motion while writing, and the
rapid jerking of the eye from one point
to another on the little keyboard soon
tires the muscles and makes the eyes
and sometimes the whole head ache.
Then a great many girls have the
habit of turning up the carriage to see
what has been written. and leaning
back in the chair while reading it.
This too is bad, for the reason that it
requires a rapid adjustment of the eye
o..the different distances, and so tires
the whole organ
The only way to save the eyes when
using q type-writing machine is to ac-
quire such facility that it is not neces-
sary to look at the keyboard, and the
eyes will be saved the thousands of
little jerks to and fro which do so
much harm.

IT is passing odd that the only true
Americans should be considered not
Americans at all. Commenting I'M
favorably upon the recent marriage Of
Miss Elaine Goodale to the educated
Sioux, Charles Eastman, q Chicago
paper said: at is true that the best
man for an American girl to wed is an
American man. 1t is not compliment
to American men when an American
woman chooses an Indian or a man
from any other race for her husband.
If q Sioux is not an American it is hard
to tell who is. His ancestors were
hunting the bison and spearing the
American salmon when the progenitors
of the writer of that editorial were
ehurls ground beneath the heel of 6
feudal lord.

HIsToRY has to be constantly re-
writtkn. Evidence has been found
going to show that the revolutionary
patriot, Robert Morris, did not die in a
debtors prison, as all the books have
it; that he did not die in 1905, but
twenty years later, and that he does
not lie buried in Christ churchyard,
Philadelphia, but was inferred in
Leedsville, n. J. The substantial
events of his history, however. his
great services as a financier during the
revolutionary period, his sacrifice of
his fortune to the patriot cause, and
his actual financial embarrassment as
a result, go unchallenged. 1t seems
probable that he was imprisoned for
debt, but that by favor or otherwise
he escaped and lived many years in
complete seclusion.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August 21.-Dispatches

storm are to the effect that great damage was
done to corn and other crops.
In Hancock county (nlinois) incalculable
damage resulted. Several people were in

Der of houses; barns and ohtbuiidings being
swept away.
A veritable cyclone passed over Vandalia,

The Other Side OF the Story.

ST. Paul, August 19.-HarVesting is vel
under way ali over the northwest, and the
promise of big crop is being more than full
filed. Instead of averaging fifteen to twenty
bushels to the acre, wheat is turning out from
twenty-five to thirty bushels and the in
creased yield from an increased acreage
makes $50. 600 bushels, the minimum pro
duct for the Dakotas and Minnesota.
Other grains are close to wheat, oats espe-
cially turning out we'll There is great trouble
experienced Tor labor to handle the immense
crop. The lack. of storage facilities will
compel the farmers TO dispose of their grain
soon, and transportation facilities will be
taxed to their utmost.

Another SWITCH pIsastsr.

BERSE, August 1s.-The people of this re-
public have hardly recovered from the terri
BILE railroad accident at Moenichenstein in
June last, BY which over $50 persons were
killed and 800 injured when they were again
startled by another wholesale loss of life by
reason of q railroad accident on the Jura
Simplon lines near the village of Zeollikofen,
near this city.
By some gross negligence, apparently upon
the part of railroad officials, the Paris train
laden with foreign travelefs was not warned
to look out for an excursion tram while pass
ing Zeolhkofen. and the result was that the
express dashed into the excursion train loaded
with excursionists.
Already twelve corpses have been recovered
from the ruins and many are seriously in
jured. No loss of life is reported in connec-
ton with the passengers on the Paris express,
and it is believed here that they have all

EARLY in 1776, Washington decided to
att ack the British in Boston. Though
the ground was frozen and the weather
cold, body of men threw up a line of
entrenchment on Dorchester Heights
in Il single night, as had been done once
before in that vicinity. On the next
morning Gen. Howe, who had super
seeded Gage, was taken entirely by sur
prise, but q heavy storm prevented
him from dislodging the enemy Just
then, and gave the Americans time to
strengthen their forces. Afterwards
confessing himself out-generaled, he
prepared to leave Boston. When he
first saw the breastworks it is said he
exclaimed, @The rebels have done more
in one night than my whole army would
have done in a MONTH. On March II.

people. the British army left the city

''The labor market is in a disturbed condi-

Ths is due to the fact that raw materials

CEDAR RAPIDS, August 19.-NeVet before
has Iowa harvested such crop of cereals as
it will this year.
The oat crop will be immense. 1t will
easily average from sixty to seventy bushels,

the acre.
In addition to this oats weigh from thirty
four to forty pounds to the bushel. This
great crop is causing railroad officials no
little trouble. All the railroads are buying
large number of grain cars IN order to be
prepared for the business when the move
ment of grain sets in.

but when he does the law is apt to go
wrong in not giving him a severe
enough punishment. The weight of
the lash should be proportionate to the

years imprisonment for the New York
