Wheat Prices Fixed by Chicago Man.

Alleged Successor of Justice Bradley.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The house COM
mittee on agriculture yesterday morning
heard arguments on the bill introduced by
Hatch defining options and futures, and
imposing special taxes thereon. c. Woods
Davis "a farmer representing the Board of
Trade of Wichita, Kan, said that since 1S7G
the prices Of farm products had been low
and the prices of wheat had continued to
shrink He said that the depression caused
him to look into transportation rates, and
he had found them to be in favor of the
American farmer, and he thought that the
tariff enhanced the value of farm products
short Selling Ties up the Cash.
But he had found in the last ten years q
system.of board of trade selling of fictitious
products. The system of short selling had
become growing disturbing factor, and
he had been told by n Chicago banker that
there was more money tied up in margin
crops. He thought that there was too
much pork barreled for speculation which
got old and was as a consequence sold
cheap, and the only people who could eat it
were the negroes on the plantations The
wheat sold on the Board of Trade of New
York in one year equalled the production
of the world, and there are twenty-eight
boards of trade.
The Size of that Man Pardridge.
The prices We're not fixed in Liverpool,
but were made in Chicago by three or four
men. At this point he requested the clerk
to read telegram which he had received
1t was as follows: "Pardrdge is bigger
than the market and sold freely He said
that man dominated the market On
Saturday last he sold 900. 600 bushels of
privileges and no one has been able to fix
the prices in Chicago. The witness con-
tinued to quote letters showing that Pard-
ridge controlled the Chicago market 1t
is fictitious offerings and not the farmer
that fixes the prices.
Chicago Man to Reply.
He thought it possible to put a stop to
dealing in futures, and thought the But
terworth bill and the bills of Brossius,
Washburn and Hatch would be effective
He stated that the men opposed to this
bill get enormous commissions for selling
Mr.. Aldrich, of the Chicago Board of
Trade, asked that he he given an oppor-
tunity in a few days to make an address
in behalf of the association he represented
which was rendily granted, and he filed
some papers. among which was a memo
rial against the BuJJerworth bill.

A GREAT PHYSICIAN DEAD.
Sir MOrrel Mackenzie Suddenly Gale,
to His Long Rest.

Sir Morrel Mackenzie Suddenly Called
tn His long Rest.
LONDON, Feb. Sir Morrel Mckenzie,
the eminent physician, died unexpectedly
at 10 O'Clock last night Sir Morrel Mac.
Kenzie vas born July {, 1881, in Essex
county, England. His father was a well.
known surgeon, and the son was brought
up to the same profession. He rapidly &C.
quired distinction, especially in regard to
diseases Of the throat. He was made a
knight in 1881.
l'atronized by Royalty.
He was patronized by royalty and the
nobility, and acquired considerable
wealth. Tweuty-three years ago he
founded the hospital for diseases OF the
throat in Golden Square, London, and was
always devoted to its service. His fame
as a throat physician caused him to be
called upon, by recommendation ef Queen
Victoria, to attend the late Emperor
Frederick, then crown prince, when the
affection IF the throat which ultimately
proved fatal began to develop itself Iseri
ously.
The Case of the Crown Prince.
DIR. Mac Kennels engagement was not
pleasing tC the German physicians, and a
bitter rivalry arose. DR. Mackenzie took
the ground that the affliction of the crown
prince was not necessarily incurable, a
position which, from a political stand
point, was highly important and crafty
ing to the crown prince and his English
relatives, as an iucurable disease would
have disqualified him for the German
throne. After the death Of Kaiser Fred
! erick, DR. Mackenzie was pursued vindic.
lively by tie criticism Of German medical
men, being on the other hand, upheld by
the English royal family and the Empress
Frederick.

A BONANZA LYING AROUND.

Opportunity for Some Prospector to Get
AppailingIy Rich.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-When news of
the discovery of a wonderful nickel mine
in Oregon reached the geological survey
short time ago it was received with disbe-
lief. The specimens of ore sent in by the
prospector who had made the discovery
were in the shape of pebbles about the
size of hazel nuts, and of very round form.
He reported that they were found in great
quantities scattered thickly over a con-
siderable extent of country, and that his
intention was to smelt them for the valu-
able metal they contained. Experts here
examined the first of the samples trans
mitted and promptly declared them
meteorites. Instead of a mine of nickel
the finder had simply picked up few bits
of star dust.
The BIeteorite Theory Exploded.
Since then, however, competent mining
engineer has been over the field, the precise
location of which is as yet not disclosed.
He has found it thickly strewn with such
pebbles as those offered for examinations
so much so as to explode entirely the the
DRY that they are meteorites. Stones from
the stars are not precipitated in storms
like hail; so with these surprising facts es-
tablished DIR. W. II. Melville, a chemist
for the geological survey, went to work
and analysed few of them. He ascer-
tanned that they contained 90 per cent. of
nickel, 10 per cent of stony matter, and the
rest iron. Now meteorites are ordinarily
composed of iron with a small amount of
nickel, but none has ever been picked up
with anything like such proportion of
the latter metal.
Millions for Somebody Somewhere.
The objects in question are not mete-
orites. OF that there is no longer any
doubt. Whence, then did they come?
They were originally fragments of rocks
washed down by streams and rounded in
the process as other pebbles are. Where is
the rock mass which formed the matrix
whence these fragments were derived? Any
one who finds it will have discovered one of
the richest mines in the world-almost a
solid lump of nickel Perhaps there is a
whole hill of it containing enough
to supply the United States with scent
pieces. Certainly it is well worth looking
for.

TEARING UP PAVED STREETS.
A Notable Example of the Irrepar-
able Damages Done When
The PaYemant Is Broken.

Ever since Waco began to pave her
streets there has been a continual dis
cussion about tearing up the streets
for the purpose Of laying water and
gas mains and pipes and sewers. The
city has passed an ordinance against
the tearing up of paved street. In
some cases it has been positively nee
essary to do so that a leak could be
repaired. When such a break has been
made it has been the case in every
instance that the pavement has given
away IN a short time whether It was
stone or cedar block.
A few days ago the water main on
the post office corner sprung a leak
and the cedar block pavement had to
be torn up tor two or three square
yards to get at the main. The blocks
were put back, apparently as good as
they were before, but a very little
travel soon showed the ference.
Since then the blocks have been re.
laid four or five times in a vain effort
to get them back as solidly as they
were originally. Those who have
claimed that it would make no differ
ence are now convinced. Keep the
pavement intact.
