ATHENA, NOVEMBER %, 1895

VERY heavy and weak markets
were daily wired from the East
and Europe throughout the week,
and wheat is now very cheap in
deed. Low, however, as are pre-
vailing prices, it must be admitted
that present conditions offer but
little encouragement that values
will improve in the rear future.
About a month ago signs were not
wanting of revival Of interest in
the trade. In England values took
an upward turn, accompanied by
an improved demand, Eastern
and, in fact, all American markets
were generally of hardening ten
dency, and appearance at that time
certainly warranted the belief that
the situation had changed for the
better and Of permanent charact-
er. Exports of wheat and -four
have been liberal, with every pros
pect of free shipment throughout
the season. Receipts at the princi-
pal inland ports have been exceed
ing heavy, and it was thought that
the rush of supplies to market ere
this would fall of, and that no
special difficulty would be found
in taking care of fresh supplies. At
this juncture, contrary to all ex-
pectations, the movement of grain
from the West and Northwest, in
stead showing Of decrease, began
to increase rapidly. These abnor-
mally large receipts had depres-
sing effect upon the trade and prices
gave way. Europe followed the
American decline, and the earlier
promised revival in wheat was
checked, temporarily at least.
While in the face Of the present
Generalization there seems to be no
reason to doubt that an improve
ment will occur later in the season,
present visible stocks must be di-
minished before any materil ad-
vance is likely to take place.

The Crowds at Lewiston .

Near Lewiston on the different
roads to the reservation, there have
been unbroken trains of travellers
in vehicles and "hossback 1t is
estimated there were 1000 people
on Lapwai creek Monday, moving
or preparing to move to the inter-
ior. The majority of the boomers
are people of intelligence and
thrift. Their wagons and horses
are of the best, and their supplies
and outfits are complete.
There is great confusion on ac-
count of the incompleteness of the
surveys. Many people are as much
confused as if they we're at sea
without a compass. Many sharp
ors are making money by pretend.
ing to aid strangers in making Sc
lections. One plan of insuring To-
cations is the organization Of the
homeseekers into companies. Shot
guns and rifles are prominent feat
ures in the equipment. 1t is fear
ed that force may be used in the
defense of claims. There is every.
where apparent a reckless disre'
gard for legal methods, A COM
parry of miners departed this morn
ing for the mountains. 80 miles
away, where rich quartz lodges
are believed to exist.

THERE was time when Europe
was not half as well prepared for
war as it is now, and yet if there
had been then only half provoca-
tion that there is at present great
struggle would have been precipi-
tated. Every nation has larger
and more re'complete armament than
ever, but each one knows that his
neighbor is equally as well prepar-
ed and that very knowledge holds
him,i restraint. Will there be a
g,eat battle of the giants, or will
this vast armament break down
of its own weight?

The Wheat Situation .

The Walla Walla Union says
there is 80 per cent of the wheat
harvested in the Walla Walla val
ley and tributaries in 1895 stored
in elevators and on the farms,
awaiting the final determination of
the rate case now before the inter-
state commerce commission. This
shows the magnitude of the inter-
ests involved in community that
depends greatly on the movements
of crops to keep business moving
on solid basis. The announce
ment Of q favorable decision would
start many thousands of tons of
grain on its way to markets of the
world, and the producers would be
placed in a condition to pay their
obligations to the extent Of such
shipments, and make such purchas-
es as they may need and give en-
couragement to all kinds of busi-
ness.

Peculiar Mental Derangement.

Salem, says the Statesman, has
a very peculiar case of mental de-
rangement. For about two months
one Of its citizens, an old and high
ly respected German, has suffered
from some affection of the brain
which causes him total loss of
memory in certain respects, while
his faculties in other ways seem
entirely unimpaired. A curious
feature of the ailment is that he is
fully conscious of it and it worries
him greatly. He was considerable
of a reader, but now he takes up a
book or paper and does not know
one letter from another. If asked
to write his name he will do so but
in two minutes if the signature is
shown him he cannot tell what it
is. He can transact business for a
time being with knowledge and ac-
curacy, but in a short time its de-
tails are all jumbled up in his
mind. He eats, sleeps and enjoys
his pipe as we'll as ever and takes
his exercise regularly, and cannot
understand the nature of his afI1ic-
tion. 1t is an interesting case for
pathologists. Some of Salem ply
sicians and one in Portland have
been studying it, but have come to
no conclusion about it.

THE cloud in the far East has
already grown much larger than a
mans hand, and is growing to the
alarm of the European powers.
The Empire to which this hand
belongs is Russia, and it looms up
portentously in the uncertain af-
fairs of the East. Whether it
means war or not, is the question
now agitating Great Britain, Ger
many, Turkey and Japan. Russia
wants more room in which to
breathe, and move her mighty arms
and armies. Russia is ambitious,
and, like Great Britain, is aggress-
i've and desirous to obtain more of
this earth for her own aggrandize-
ment. She does not however, like
Great Britain, seek to grab up"
what are left of "the isles Of the
Sea-" or to claim the best part of a
little South American Republic, or
big slice of Uncle Sans Alaskan
gold fields; but she works in po-
lite, diplomatic way, and when her
point is gained, as with China, why
there she is with a powerful fleet
of battleships and torpedo crafts
ready to maintain the object won
agains the combined forces of her
rivals. England is intensely jeal-
GUS of Russia.

AM Imnortant office.

To properly fll it's office and func-
tions, it is important that the blood
be pure. When it is in such con-
dition, the body is almost certain
to be healthy. A complaint at
this time is catarrh in some of its
various forms. A slight cold de-
velopes the disease in the head.
Droppings Of corruption passing
into the lungs bring on constipa-
tion. The only way to cure this
disease is to purify the blood. The
most obstinate cases of catarrh
yield to the medicinal powers of

What the Land Does.

The following is o portion Of a
speech by the eloquent Omaha
chief, White Cow: This land is
our mother. She has cared for us
since we were born. She has fat
tened for our food the deer and the
buffalo on the prairies. This land
has fed us. This land has made
us live, and, dying, this land, like
q mother, takes us into her bosom
again. We cannot have food with
out land. Nothing but land can
give us plenty to eat and strength
and make us happy. We need
land to live"
