Over Nineteen Million Lives.

Humanity is continually at war
against itself, without even having
taken time TO reflect and ask the
reason why. 1t opens its veins for
the simple pleasure OF seeing its noble
blood flow--blood that is always young
and continually renewed. How
many men are destroyed by war
in a century Official reports and
documents presented in the best
accredited historical treatises enable
us easily to calculate the number of
soldiers who have been killed or have
died during modern wars.
Thus, for example, we know that
during the Franco-G German war of
1901, 100000 victims were slain on
the two sides; that during the Cri-
mean war. 1S54-5. 7S5,OOO were slain +;
that during the short Italian war of
1859, $1,000 men fell on the field of
battle or died In hospitals; that the
game OF chess between Prussia and
Austria in 1866 deprived $4,000 in.
habitants of life; that in the United
States the strife between the north
and south caused the death of 100000
men in 1904.
We know also that the wars OF the
first Empire poured out the blood of
100000 Europeans, and moreover
that France has taken up arms twenty
times since 1915. On adding the
number of victims Of war during the
last century total of 19,S40,900 is
reached simply in the civilized coun-
tries Of Europe and in the United

THE WHEAT MARKET.

The course OF the wheat market
during the past few months has been
a surprise to everybody and even the
bears themselves are beginning y get
discouraged at the outlook. Since
1881 there has never been 30 favorable
an opening for high prices and moth
ing in sight to keep the bulls from put
ting the market price just where they
wanted it. All foreign countries re-
ported short crops, and taken. in the
aggregate the shortest in ten years {;
our bins at harvest time were all
empty and the general supposition
was that every bushel of American
grain that could be spared would be
needed to supply foreign demands.
We believed with others that the
price of wheat would rule high the
year round, but we must acknowledge
that we were grievously mistaken.
When we look below the surface 1t
is plain to be seen that local causes
have brought about the decline ana
held prices below the actual value OF
the property. Our northwestern far
mcrs crowded and glutted the markets
with grain before it had time to go
through the sweat and have continued
to press forward the product in such
quantities that bull spectators have
been disposed to hold of until condi-
tions were more favorable to their side.
Another important feature that has
had depressing effect is the pending
anti.option bill which il passed would
take the bnll element, or the speculat-
i've element, entirely oat Of the mar
ket. The bulls have been afraid 10
load up with big lines of wheat with
the certainly that the hill IT passed
would knock them out Of all profits
Should congress adjourn without taxi
ing any action on this matter the
friends Of wheat may take hold aud
nut prices where they belong, but up

From Democratic sources we learn
that Gov. Click, Judge Martin and
other prominent Democrats have an
nounced that the Democratic and
Peoples party Of Kansas would COM
bine on the electoral, state aud COLI
gressional ticket. Elder, McLallin,
Snow and others of equally high
standing in the Peoples party have
announced that the Peoples party
will have nothing to do with Demo-
cratic combinations. 1t is also rumor-
ed that in case the Peoples party reject
the Democratic ovcrtures a combine
ton will be formed with the Prohibi-
bition party adopting their platform
with woman suffrage and free silver
blanks. There il likely to be more
serious complications in Kansas poll
tics this year than at any time since
the confusion of tongues at the Tower
of Babel.

Congressman Funston proposes to
submit an amendment 10 the bill for
opening of the Cheyenne aud Arapa-
hoe lands providing for the distribu-
ton of the lands among the applicants
by lottery. This will do away with
the racing and other exciting features
which would necessarily attend the
opening of those lands and prevent
inuumcrable contests aud disputes in
regard to ownership. 1t is believed
that the above named lands will soon
be declared open to settlement, but it
will take longer to open the Cherokee
strip.

TWO SHOTS.
One Killed His Faithful Wife, the Other
His Homeless Self.

One Killed His Faithful Wife, the Other
His Hopeless Self.
WASHINGTON, March Two shots
fired almost simultaneously in q room
occupied by Fernleigh Montague, an
artist. and his wife, startled the In
mates of the house No. 51S Fourth
street. The door was forced open by
an officer, when husband and wife were
found lying on the bed dead From
their position the woman had evidently
lain on the bed and allowed her hus-
band to place the pistol to her mouth
and fire. Then sitting up he turned
the bloody weapon to his own mouth,
fred and dropped back on the pillow
dead. Dependency, the result of long
and painful illness, was undoubtedly
the cause of the deed, but the reason
for the wife consenting to the rash act
is mystery. A theory is advanced
that she worshiped the man to that ex-
tent that she was willing to die with
him, and another is that, having waited
upon him and being herself worn out,
she, too, became respondent and pre-
ferred to die.

SAN Francisco, March 7.-Telegrams
were received by the associated press
from one hundred correspondents in
in California to determine the present
crop outlook in the state. The reports
are very complete, and cover in detail
the principal fruit and grain districts.
Rains have been general throughout
the state In the San Joaquin Valley
the winters rainfall has averaged
eight inches, while the average is
usually four inches. In other val
leys of the state the rainfall has
been normal, and rains have come
within adequate intervals to pro.
mote seeding, and to afford trees and
grain the full benefit of moisture It
is estimated that larger acreage has
been sown to wheat than ever before,
and the present outlook is for the larg-
est crop in the history of the state. The
grain crop, however, yet depends upon
the rains in April and the absence of
hot ''northers" to insure the crop, so
that it is too early to base predictions as
to the probable yield for the year,
though the present outlook for large
crop could not be more favorable.
Apricot, peach, almond and prune
trees are in full blossom, and the crop
of apricots and cherries promises from
the present outlook to be two weeks
earlier than usual. The acreage Of
grain in Fresno county is little less
than last year, and the crops are in ex-
cellent condition. The season is favor
able for growing wheat and barley. The
outlook for prunes is for larger
crop than last year. In Los
Angeles county extensive planting
of fruit trees is in progress. In San
Diego county crops are making good
growth. BY careful estimates the har-
vest of cereals will be thirty per cent.
in excess of any previous year. The
rains came late, but since seeding the
ground has been kept in good condi-
ton by timely showers. Ell Cajon
vineyard reports the vines in thrifty
condition. In the apple and deciduous
belt at Julian there have been ample
rains and will be big crops The
orange crop of southern California
will probably foot up eighteen
hundred carloads, and be somewhat
smaller than last year. San Bernardino
county has already shipped seven
hundred carloads of oranges, and there
are yet three hundred carloads remain.
ing to go forward from Riverside, and
1873 from the rest of the county. The
supply Of oranges and lemons for the
late spring demand will be small. At
Allessandro. San Bernardino county,
about 5000 acres are planted to wheat
and barley, and In the vicinity of Chico
10, 600 acres. In Great Yucaipal Valley
5, 900 acres have been planted, and the
yield OF grain will be the largest ever
known in the history OF the county.

Boston, Mass, March THE new
Wood bridge gun which is intended to
be capable of throwidg a projectile
weighing quarter of ton distance
of twelve to fifteen miles, and which is
being constructed at the arsenal at
Watertown, will be completed in about
four months At present the gun is
little more than steel tube 27H
feet long, the diameter being 11H
inches. The interior eventually will
be bored to 12h inches. The speciality
of the Woodbridge gun consists in
the wire wrapping Around the steel
tube, which is made of hard rolled
steel. are placed strips of steel like bar
rel stavea and around these miles of
steel wire are wrapped. The steel
slaves are put in to equalize the press
ure caused by the light wrapping of
the WIRE The wire is 15-10O Of an inch
square, and it is capable of bearing a
tension of 200, 900 pounds to the square
inch The wrapping of the wire upon
the tube Is done by special winding
machine, so as to put the wire on at a
great strain. Several miles have been
wrapped already.
