CHICAGO, August Wheat developed a
great deal of strength during the early part
of the session. Stocks in Wall street
opened higher gold continued 10 arrive
on this side, and the assembling Of Con-
gress was thought TO bring the day Of relief
nearer. For a brief interval there was
more investment buying than usual OF late.
Shorts were disposed 10 cover while there
was little wheat for sale. But soon stocks
began 20 break and wheat weakened when
other buyers attempted 10 sell out Trad
iuQ was exceedingly dull, taken altogether.
Operators seemed to be really reaching the
conclusion that il was more prudent to
wait and see what CongOesS is likely TO do
rather than operate on what they think
they ought to do Corn was extremely dull.
Oats, easy and lower. Provisions, weak
aud lower. Flour, quiet and unchanged.

ACCORDION skirts that date back 70
the time when we wore our skirts short

CLEVELAND, OHIO, August IA SEN
satIonal breach OF promise suit was
commenced in the Common Pleas Court
a few days AGO, but the petition was
suppressed. The suit was begun
by Miss Emma Stimper, who lives with
her sister, Mrs. John pepper, at No. 3
East Prospect street, against Forest
f. Ford, baggagemaster for the
PENNSYLVANIA Company. Ford Is 80
wears old and Miss Stimper 90. They
were brought up on adjoining farms
near Bellaire, Ohio, and have known
each other from childhood. They be-
came engaged year ago, and Miss
Stimper maintains that 1t was the
understanding that they would
marry after the death OF Ford's pa
rents, who were aged, and from
whom he would inherit large prop
erty. Last October his mother died and
in June his father passed away. Ford
continued his calls upon Miss Sttmper,
but said nothing of marriage. When
she finally asked him to fix the we'd
ding day she says that he informed her
that he had changed his mind. Now
she wants $4,000 as a salve for her
feelings.

Financial Question First

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 7.-Senator
Wasburu, Of Minnesota, the father OF the
anti-optiou bill, intimates that he will not
seek to call up this substitute Of the SEN
ate for this measure during the extra SEES
sion, because, in his opinion. the financial
question should first be settled. II later
the bill should again oe brought forward,
be said he would call up the substitute OF
Senator George instead OF his own DILL De-
cause the George amendment was not a
revenue measure and did not need to orig
mate in the House.

Stocks-The stock market was erractic
in its course throughout the day and the
fluctuations were out of all proportion to
the volume of business, The opening was
irregular and lower. After the short
interest had been increased some OF the
bulls took hold with vim, and IN little
while advanced the whole list anywhere
from y to25z per cent. A few OF the smaller
bears covered up, out the leaders mace
sharp and successful drive at some oil the
low-priced stocks, which finally carried
down the entire market. Union Pacific,
Missouri Pacific aud Northern Pacific pre-,
ferred were special objects OF attack and
yielded 4a44 per cent. All of these COM
panies have large floating debts and hence
il is very simple matter TO
start stories of alleged receiver
ships. The unfavorable reports were de-
MED by officials of the several companies
and final transactions were at recovery
of 5I az per cent In the remainder Of the
list General Electric dropped 51s, Jersey
Central AZ, Sugar 80, Chicago Gas q,

In view Of the fears entertained by so
many, at this time of stringency in
money matters, throughout the whole
country; and still more OF the panicky
feeling that may possibly be augmented
by the closing Of the Exchange Bank,
we earnestly recommend to the public
generally and 20 the Catholic people
especially not to allow themselves TO be
unnecessarily alarmed-not to with
draw their funds from any bank in the
city. We believe them all TO be per-
fectly safe and solvent A run on the
banks, at this time, would compel them
to suspend payment and thereby block
every Industry In and around our city,
and entail incaleulasle sufferings on the
whole people. JOHN j. Kahn,

He Croaked Too Soon.

He was type of the aggressive,
Il told you so" croaker who gloats
over human misfortune, simply be-
cause the world insists on going on
in the old way and ignoring his adj
vice. A look Of triumph came into
his little grey eyes as he caught
sight of sheet of white paper past
ed on the door of big Washington
street building at noon yesterday.
There was something written on the
sheet in a fine hand. The little old
man halted, took off his hat, mopped
his brow, waved his hand toward the
sheet OF paper, and said in loud
tone Of voice to couple of men
standing by:
That marks the beginning of the
end. | predicted it long before the
ides of last November. But the blind
unthinking people had their way.
They sowed to the wind, and now
they will reap the whirlwind."
A crowd of 100 people had gath
cred, and the little man became ora
torical.
'We are ON the brink of national
ruin. National credit is irretrieva-
bly, gone. The air is filed with the
crash of mighty banks and great
corporations, and the hum of indus
try IS stilled in the land Cobwebs
are forming on the idle house, and
the rust accumulates on the miners

The crowd by this time numbered
900 people, all demanding to know
what was going on.

crash. Can any one tell mc?n shout.

this little paper, fraught with sorrow
for thousands Of people, will tell us
the true reason for this failure, which
is only the forerunner for hundreds
more.
The little man adjusted pair of

and read this notice while the crowd
waited in breatbless silence:

Why He Supports the University,
Public School Mirror.

Now that the University has pass
ed through an exciting and suppos-
ed to be, sitting and clearing up or
deal, though the present arrange
ments are but temporary, we trust
that all the people will lay aside pref
udice in the interest of our lead
ing State Institution and contribute
To its success this year unstintedly
The man who is small enough at
heart or narrow enough OF brain TO
critieise and attack either privately
or publicly through the press or
otherwise his own city, county or
State institutions after elections are
held, save for the sake Of helping
them by kindly suggestions and crit
icisms, is utterly unworthy Of their
benefactions, and is besides dis
turbing element among bis fellow
men, who prefers to crafty his sell
fish prejudices at the expense of the
public veal. 1t is their privilege
and right to be heard in every hon
orable capacity at the time officials
are chosen, hut when once chosen it
is their imperative duty to cease
their antagonism, even if they can't
rise to that degree of Christian man
hood where the good of all crowds
every semblance of selfish wilfnlness
aside The good citizen is he who
accepts the decision of those chosen
to represent him, with good grace,
and when he has opportunity to cast
his next ballot seeks to correct abus-
es by honorable means. Everything
done by the Board of Regents of the
University did not seem to us at all
wise or even prudent; but it is done,
and we are in line to do all we can
in our humble way to advance the
interests of our State University,
and if by honorable means we can
not succeed in so changing public
sentiment in so far as we constitute
an humble unit, that few things
may be changed from the present
status, we shall concede our mistake
as minority opinion and none the
less vigorously support the Univer-
sity meanwhile or thereafter.
