GRAIN MARKET.
Quotations Going Steadily Up in
Wheat and Corn from the Crop
Failures in the West-Spec-
ulatOrs Buying All
in Sight.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-The fluctuations in
early trading in grain were less violent
than yesterday but conditions were bull
ish. The Cincinnati Price Current sum-
mary noted further deterioration in the
growing corn crop with increased feeding
of wheat to stock, and the weather map
continued to show high temperature
and no rain in the corn belt. September
corn opened anywhere from 81 to SO in
different parts of the pit, against 554 at
the close yesterday, but the price as soon
as settled figure was reached was 57R
and it steadily declined till it touched
524, yesterdays last price. Then it
rallied to 561. May corn opened at
from SO to 81 against 5224 at the close
yesterday. Sold to 55, then eased off to
53l8 but rallied to 537s.
The strength in grain continued. Sep
tember swung up to So; May to 54Ia
September wheat 567s by IL o'clock. The
advance after the recess which fol-
lowed the opening was caused by the
Washington indications predicting no
rain in the corn belt in thirty-six hours
Country is also buying again and the
big bear operator Partridge, is taking
everything offered. The country is also
buying wheat.

WANT IRRIGATION.
Nebraska Farmers Awake to Find
that Ditch Water is Their
Only Hope.

Omaha, Aug. 9.-An appeal for the
drought-striken portions of Nebraska,
signed by committee claiming to rep
resent large interests, has been sent to
the governor. 1t recites that the com
mittee has just returned from an extend
ed visit through the section through
which the hot winds destroyed crops.
The committee explains that ii has reason
to believe from what it has been told
"that thousands of families will either
starve, emlgrate or be fed by charity un-
less the people as a whole provide for
them" The committee suggests as Il
solution of the problem that a special
session of the Legislature be called imme-
diately to devise state system of irriga.
tion and that those in the drought dis
tricts be given employment on the
bitches. The committee locates most of
the distress west of Grand Island to Hold
redge.
Governor Crounse is at present ont of
the state. The general mpression is that
the crop failures are not complete, and
that from economy little actual suffering
will result without state aid. The locality
in which the drought was most severe has
been troubled periodically since Nebraska
was made state. 1t includes several
counties in which the soil is so very sandy
that it requires at least one-third more
rainfall or water than other farming land
in the adjacent counties.

City of Mexico. Aug. 9.-Considerable
apprehension is felt in the volcanic zone,
in which the City of Mexico, Pueblo and
other populous Mexican cities are stu
ated, over the predictions OF Juan N. Con-
treras, a famous meteorologist and scien-
tist of Guadalajara. Senor Contreras
predicts that between tomorrow and
Sunday the region about Popocatapetl,
southeast of this city will receive an
earthquake visitation. He predicts dis
turbance also occurring between August Is
and IS. Should shocks miss this section
they will be felt in the state of Oxacata,
to the south. Senor Contreras during the
past two years has made many predic-
tions of earthquakes in Mexico, nearly all
of which have been verified by subsequent
facts.

THE WORST YET.
The Britannia Again scoops GOuld's
American Yacht in English
Waters.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 9.-The Vigi-
liant and Britannia started in the race for
the Town prize of 100 pounds. The
Britannia got slightly the best of the
start and was ahead when rounding the
first mark. The Vigilant gained twenty
four seconds on her rival in magnificent
run out to the Warner light ship, but the
Britannia then began to widen her lead
during the beat back to Cowes, leaving
the Vigilant half mile astern in the first
round. In the second round the Britain
MIA increased her lead to three minutes
and thirty seconds. The Britannia won
by two minutes and twelve seconds, not
reckoning time allowance. The score now
stands eleven to five in favor of the Brit
anna. The Vigilant's defeat of to-day
was her worst.

Mrs. Meadows was in a better humor.
"This,' she said, as the queer looking girl
came forward 'is Chickamy Granny Crow,
and this, the very queer looking boy
came timdly up, is Tickle y-Toes'
They bowed and then went off little
ways, looking very solemn and comical.
They didn't dare glance at each other Tor
fear they would begin laughing again.
The reason they looked so queer was be-
cause although they acted like children,
they were old in appearance-as old as

Tip-Top for saving his treasure and his
horses, but he wasn't satisfied about the
saddle. He worried Now, you Know

a grown man is worried he sits down ana

"Oh. I've seen papa do that" laughed
Sweetest Susan.
Yes that's the way the mayor did,,
Mr.. Trimblefinger continued. Ihere was
great thief in that country who had never
been caught. He didn't care for judges ana
jures and courthouses. He always sent the
mayor word when he was coming TO the
city and when he was going away
mo lust the day before the mayor had
received a letter from this man. The thlef
said he was coming after fine race morse
that was owned by the mayors brother.
So the mayor sat and thought, anu IliidiS
he asked Tip-Top if his talking saddle
could catch a famous thief.

rogues, your honor replied Tip-Top, ana

"Then the mayor told Tip-Top that the
most famous thief in all that country IN
tended to steal his brothers race horse.
Tip-Top said he must see the horse ana
together they went to the stable where 1t
was kept The horse was already guarded
Two servants sat in the stall, two sat
outside and two remained near the door.
The mayors brother was also there.
What is this? the brother asked
This fellow wants to sell his saddle!
replied the mayor.
'..Then arrest him. cried the brother.
for he is the thief.
"'Nonsense, replied the mayor. He IS a
very honest man and [ will vouch for him.
Then the mayor called his brother aside and
told him why the man with the saddle
had come to see the horse.
''Tip-Top talked with the men who had
been set to guard the horse and he soon
found that one of them was an accomplice
of the thief. This man made a swift sign
to Tip-Top and placed his finger on his
mouth. Tip-Top replied by closing his eyes
with his fingers, as if to show that he
