OUR BULLS AND BEARS
Scenes at the Topeka Bucket Shop
Today.
THE WHEAT MARKET is EXCITING.
How the UnWary Investors Were
Closed Out This Morning.

How the UnWary Investors Were
Closed Out This MOrn1ns.
Topeka grain pit which is room of
of activity this morning and the local
bulls and bears were almost all there.
The bears kept quiet but the bulls
were continually on their feet and there
was a great deal of buying, principally
in wheat.
One peculiar thing about the Topeka
traders is that they keep quiet. A man in
VESTS in margins, takes his seat and sees
the. market drop q half cent and his
$40 go into the pocket of the owner of
the establishment without saying a word.
If the market goes the other way his
face wears more radiant look but he is
generally just as still about it though an
occasional grunt of satisfaction may be
heard.
The market opened this morning with
wheat at 1874. Those who bought last
night were in no hurry to sell and not q
single trade at that figure was recorded.
Then the market took little jump to 70
as if to give the bulls confidence and one
or two bit, as they anticipated another
phenomenal rise liko that of yesterday.
1t didn't come, and the next thing the
ticker did made the bulls sick at heart,
and the figures 1917 went down on the
board.
Almost Immediately it went to 1919,
and a half dozen men focked around
the desk to make purchases, for they
thought the bottom had been reached.
They got their tickets and were happy
when the ticker said 10, and happier
still when 10 q was recorded, but they
were holding for something better and
no sales were made. They were sorry
in a moment, for the market fell to
49, and after lowering around
that figure for a few seconds it took
slump and went to 771a, and the anxious
traders were "closed out" which means
they lost their money.
When it reached this low figure several
gray haired men made a rush for the
desk. and the cashier was kept busy max
ing out slips and recording the purchases.
These men had been there before and
knew what they were doing, for almost
Immediately the market began to show a
rise. When it again touched 10 most of
them "sold" and pocketed the difference,
minus the commission
Some people do not come in person to
the "stock exchange" to trade, and one
man is kept busy answering telephone
calls and taking instructions from buy
ers and sellers in various parts of the
city. These traders are generally well
known business men who would not care
to be seen ''buying" in public.
Some Topeka people have made
money by the rise in wheat, and very
small investment a month ago would
give very large returns now. but most of
the buyers do not hold on more than one
day and gains are consequently small. 1t
is difficult to find out who has lost or
won, but if the STATE JOURNAL can find
out it will print it, because everybody
wants to know; don't you?

MOONEY KEPT IN CHAINS
A Reform School Boy Who is Continually
Running Away.

A Reform School Boy Who is Continually
Running Away.
William Mooney, 16-year-old boy at
the Reform school is in chains and has
been kept in chains for almost a week.
Young Mooney was one of the five boys
who escaped from the reform school ten
days ago. He was captured near Osaw-
kee and brought back to the school,
When young Mooney was returned to
the school the officer in charge promptly
stated his intention of placing the young
culprit in chains.
Rev. Mr.. Howell, the new superin-
tendent, demonstrated, but the officer
said he would resign if he could not
chain up the runaways. That settled it;
Rev. MIR. Howell did not want his admin
istration started out with his officers re-
signing and the boy was put in chains.
Mooney is chained to his bed at night
and to his chair during the day. He is
taken out on the lawn for fresh air and
exercise, but is all the time kept in
chains. Mooney has run away from the
school several times and the officers are
determined to keep him this time.
The officers in charge of boys at the
Reform school can't afford to let many
boys ges away, as under the rules when a
boy escapes and is recaptured the officer
in charge of the department from which
he escaped must pay So to whoever
brings the runaway back to the itstitu-

LIVED ON NOTHING
And Now They Are Able to Return to Rus
STA With 81 500.

A good example of the Russian in
America may be cited in the case of
Martin Bender and his family, who left
for their old home in the land of the
Gar with the party of thirty last Monday
evening.
There were the father and mother. two
young men sons, and two girls, aged 10
and IL years. They came here four
years ago and from then until the time
they left the old man and his sons had
worked as helpers in the machinery de-
partment of the Santa Fe shops.
In that time they I'D paid all their
expense of living and had saved out OF
their earnings 81 800, with enough to pay
the full expense of the return trip of the
six, besides. They made all their own
furniture, never missing a days work to
do it. but by getting up early and staying
up late. As a man with 500 rubles is

movement of the greatest importance
among the masses of the population in
this city.

be begun on the street corners and curbs
An organization will be formed and
as soon as practicable will be made

TAX WHISKY MORE.
More Tax on Liquor and Tobacco is the
Way Raise Revenue.

Way to Raise Revenue.
MANSFIELD, O., May 24-Michael D.
Harter gave his views at great length to-
day on the issues which confront the
people in view of the recent decision in
the income tax cases. He has plan for
the raising of revenue, which, he thinks,
will save the financial department of the
government from embarrassment
He says: "The tax on all kinds of to-
bacco should be increased to where the
result would be an increase of revenue
from this source of not less than $15,-
100000. The tax on beer should be in
creased $30,000,0O0, which would not re-
suit in any decrease in the size of the
glass or increase in the cost to the
drinker
"The whisky tax, already high, should
be enlarged enough to add the revenue
from this source about $15,O00,0O0. Tea
and coffee should be taxed enough to
cost the consumers about one mill per
cup, or a cent for each ten cups which
tax would bring in about $3O,0o0,000 in
ordinary years.
Here you have an increase in the in
come of the United States of $90,O0O,O 900
without putting a noticeable burden on
anybody. With this simple Legislation,
our deficiency would be transferred into
a wholesome surplus of $40,000,000, and
no calling, or industry, would suffer, and
no individual citizen would have any
just ground for complaint
"But for the wretched measure known
as the Mckinley bill, Mr.. Cleveland
would be buying in and cancelling in
stead of selling United States bonds.
Mr. CleveIand's course in the sale of
bonds was forced upon him, and the
skill and sound sense he has displayed
in the matter are deserving of the high

A Peculiar Variety of Blind Fish Found in

STARRUcA, N. Y, May 24.-Quarry-
men, in removing a large layer of flag

not unlike a fresh water crab, las they
always swim in a circle.
Several of these fish have been taken
from the water with net and sent to
the Pennsylvania fish commissioner
