BOOM IN May WHEAT.
Dry Weather in Kansas One
Of the Factors in the
Advance.
Trading Larger in July Than
in the Nearby
Months.
The Bull Provis ion Clique
Made Itself Felt in Its
IS Speciality.
Temper Of Speculation on
Wall Street Was Decid-
edly Bullish.

CHICAGO. April 8.-A boom in May wheat
was the notable feature on change today,
though trading in July was decidedly larger
than i'll the nearby options. May at one time
showed gain of nearly 2l2c over last nights
price. 1t was up 1850 at the close, while July
had all advance of only Ice. Dry weather
was the main influence. Business was fairly
good. but only active for short periods. The
bull cliques in wheat and provisions made
themselves felt in each of these specialties.
Compared with last night corn is lsc higher.
and provisions range irregularly higher to O
limited extent.
While no rain was in sight In Kansas. 1t
was reported freezing in Dakota and Ne
braska. 1t was rumored that the Missouri stste
crop report had been made public, making
the wheat conditions So and 81 per cent, an
increase in the average. This at the time
caused reaction from the top price reached,
but withal a firm feeling existed. The re-
eeipts for the past week were considerable
larger-apout oO0,0O0 bu more and the ex'
port clearances were smaller, so that no large
decrease in the visible supply is expected
perhaps 100000 bu.
Corn was moderately active but kept
within Ac range. The general tone was easy.
with the exception OF short spell at the
opening, when fair degree OF strength was
displayed. the action of wheat starting few
local operators who went home short last
night to covering. This demand soon became
satisfied. however. and a downward ten
dencv followed. offerings become more free,
and receivers being identified with the sell
ing side.
There was fair trade in OATS the greater
part of it being in the way of changing from
the near to distant months. September being
bought and June sold at 3A03SBc difference,
Prices had 1Ac range, and the close was at
a net gain of Mc.
Business in hog products was lighter than
for several days past. Offerings of all de-
scriptions were moderate, and the inquiry
from all sources was only fair The market
opened stronger owing TO the advance in the
prices of hogs, but the prospect of larger
supply during the coming week tended to an
easier feeling, and lower prices were ac-
cepted. At inside figures, the demand i'm
proved somewhat, mainly to provide for out
standing contracts and prices rallied again.
The market closed rather firm at about out
side figures.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
$50 cars; corn, 10 cars; oats, 145 cars; hogs,
1900 head.

Wheat futures opened higher. The market
during the dav was strong. with small
range in prices as shown in the tables. The
trading at present is based largely on the

weather and the weather predictions were
for continuation of same conditions. The

"THIS WAS WHERE 1 WAS SCALPED."

for camp in July. 1t was on the north
fork of the Platte river, near where
Fort Casper now stands, and the cOun-
try was very wild. The big trees grew
in grand forests along the banks of the
river, and on the sides of the mountains
we could see them reaching up to the
skies. The spot selected for our perma-
nent camp was in little valley between
two high hills, and down the center of
the grassy glade clear stream OF water
flowed. In the side of one of the hills
we dug small cave, and then built our
house Or hut in front of it, with the rear
portion hidden in the ground. This gave
us a good shelter, and provided a good
place for the storing of our ammunition
and pelts. George Goodwin and Will
lam MullaneY were my 'pards.'
We had all lived in the same
little Ohio town since the day of
our birth. and we had always been
very chummy. We had endeavOred to
gain the consent Of our parents to our
leaving home, but they desired that we
should stay on the farms and work there
until we were of age. But. as 1t is al
ways with boys, we cnnld not submit to
this when there were so many stories
aflOat in regard to the money which was
being made out in the West. We left
home without the blessing of our par
entS, and, Well-nOne of US ever saw
our folks again alive.
George and VIII were both killed in
a Skirmish with the CheyenneS, who
came down on us one morning, and we
were left for dead after being Scalped.
Poor fellows! 1t was better that they
were killed outright than to have been
compelled to have Uttered the fortunes
of these devils. Look at this arm"
Rored With Hot Arrows
He rolled up his sleeve and in the
muscular arm were SIX fluctuations.
They looked like exaggerated dimples
and were scared and red.
"'ThOse were made with the tips of
red-hot arrows" said O'Brien. But
am getting ahead of my story. We had
secured a large number of peltS and
skins. and were just getting ready to go
to the nearest settlement in order to
dispose of them and get new supply
of powder and lead. We did not use
the modern cartridge then. Our weap-
ons were muZZle-lOadeTS and we run
our own bullets. We had brought a
large supply Of powder and shot with
humber of pigs of lead, and our supply
had lasted well. We had become eX-
pert shots and wasted but few charges.
One day, just before the trip to
the settlement was to be made, an
old Indian hObbled down into the
glade. HIS arm was broken, and he had
a bullet in his side. He had been at
tackled by band of Crows, but escaped
after crawling into the stream, where he
covered himself up with leaves and
brush. We took charge of the old chap,
cured him up. and then turned him
loose again. He grunted out a few
words of thanks and disappeared in the
woods.
The boys were afraid W. would get
into trouble over the entertaining of the
old chap. as we had not been mClested
by the redskins, and we were of the i'm
preston that they did not know " h re

No Cheap telephones.

Cincinnati Tribune.
Those who have hoped for cheap teIe-
phones on account OF the expiration of
the Berliner patent On March will ba
disappointed. J.
The Bell Telephone company was
shrewd enough to have litigation in-l
stigated against itself upon this patent,
and at the end of fourteen years, when
the matter was dropped from the courts.
the pateut as granted to the Bell com9
pany differed in almost every essential
point from the original specifications
for the Barliner model. The valuablei
and essential features of the Berlner+
Graham-Bell transmitters are covered by
patents extending to 1906, and even later
Proceedings to annul the BerlIner
patents are pending in the supreme
courts, but are so placed on the docket
that there is no reasonable probability
of decision being reached until the
Bell Telephone company grows weary Of
being both plaintiff and defendant in the
suits, and in sheer generosity con-
cludes to allow the people necessity at
reasonable rates.

The task Of the droyer and his assist,

ern shipping points was one involve
ing both skill and daring. The
daily programme was as regular as that
of a regiment OIL the march. From
morning until noon the cattle were al
lowed to Craze in the direction of their
destination, watched by the cowboys in :
relays. The cattle by this time were
uneasy, and were turned into the trail
and walked steadily forward eight or
ten miles, when at early twilight they
were halted for another Craze. n
AS darkness came on they were gath
cred closer and closer into a compact
mass by the cowboys riding steadily in
constantly lessening circles around
them until at last the brutes lay down
chewing their cuds and resting from
the days trip. Near midnight they would
usually get up, stand awhile and then
le down again, having changed sides. At
THIS time extra care was necessary t (

ponies or riding slowly round and

AN ANTI-WEDD ING-PRESE NT
LEAGUE
One Suggestion Which, If Carrie d ,
Would Do Away With Lasting


Would Do Away With Lasting
Nuisance.
London Truth.
Why is there no wedding present
league? Surely the time has long since
arrived for such an organization to be
started. Wedding presents are a far
more serious and lasting nuisance than,
let us say, crinolines are ever likely to
be. The nuisance has been aggravated
of late by the pernicious practice of
publishing in the newspapers lists of
wedding presents received, and | have
been driven to air this question by a
list of some two or three hundred names
of donors of wedding presents published
the other day in connection with a
fashionable marriage" in the North.
This is, in fact, highly ingenious
method of stimulating the generosity
of the friends of the happy pair. The
SnObS are induced to give more laviShly
by the knowledge that their names and
their gifts will be proclaimed to all the
world in the newspapers. People who
might otherwise, either through COM
mon sense or common stinginess, re-
frain from giving ARE intimidated by the
fear that their names will be cOnspicu-
ouSly absent from the published list. 1t
has become the practice to advertise, in
connection with deaths, mo flowers"
How popular will that bride and bride
groom be among their acquaintance
who first dare, in announcing their we'd
ding, to advertise, mo presents"
