Corn Booming

Chicago, Aug, There was wild
excitement on the Board of Trade to-
day owing to the unchecked drouth
in the corn belt. Corn shot up to q
dizzy gait, carrying wheat with it,
Before 10 o'clock corn had gone up
seven cents in long and sensational
Jumps, and wheat had struggled up
two and one half cents, despite stong
bearish influences. After most ur-
gent shorts had covered, the strain
ceased somewhat and corn fell back
to a slight advance over yesterdays

New York, Aug, THE corn
market started out with two C mt

Truth About the Strike.

President Gompers of the FEEDER
alton of Labor has an able article IN
the August North American Re
view and "Federationist" concerning
the Pullman and A. r. Z. strike.
1t reviews the cause and justifies the
strikers. Every man whose capital
consists of brains and muscles, and
who aims at an honest living, should
read these articles. 1t costs just half
as much as cigar and does not lend

NEyADA'S FLAMING TREE.
A Story OF Another Curiosity Of
the Sagebrush Stale.

The SageDruSh Stale.
Every one has heard of luminous
plants and shrubs" said Ernest f.
Gould of Hamilton. New, but COM
paratively few people are aware of
the existence in our State of lumi-
nous tree of large proportions.
1.-The Indians have always srter-
and have a number of legends con-
nected with it, some of which are
clearly founded on the biblical story
of Moses and the burning bush. AS
a result of their superstition the tree
has come to be known as the witch
tree, and is quite source of interest
among people for miles around.
1T is valuable landmark at
night as it can be seen half a mile
away, and the phosphorescent sub
stance which e1udes from it is so
powerful that it is possible to read a
few words of PRINT held close to it.
Several botanists have made journeys
to inspect and report on this tree,
bat | have never seen a really intel
ligent explanation of the phenome-
non. Ontario Record.
1t seems such a great pity that the
luminous tree of Nevada which was
once such a curiosity near Wells,
Station was cut down. About two
years ago it was cut down for fire
wood by party of campers, 1t
shows no trace of luminosity in the
day time, hence they could not be
blamed for it. Parties who have
since examined the stump of the tree
say that it is still luminous and full
of phosphorus. The explanation
they make Ct it is that it grows over
a phosphorous deposit and the min
eral is absorbed by the tree. In
other words they say it was nothing
more than q cottonwood tree phos-
phorizsd.
