ConfidinC


Connding.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, Jan. ga land
suit involving the cancellation of S45, 200
worth of notes, with features of alleged
forgery, is on trial here. In 1890, William
Harrison of Grand Rapids bought of
Frank b. Smith of Three Rivers, NJ ch., a
tract of land in Pine Grove township, Van
Buren, county, consisting of 1920 acres,
for which he paid $1,000 cash and gave
notes for S106.5OO.
In May, 1893, Harrison brought suit TO
cancel the notes given by him, alleging
that the land had been represented as
valuable, whereas it was mere swamp and
not valuable timber land. 1t developed
that T. b. Smith and an uncle held Si5, 900
OF the notes. The rest are in the posses
sion of innocent holders and are counted
out of the transaction. The defense pro-
duced typewrltten letter purportIng to
have been written by Harrison three
months after the purchase of the land. in
which Harrison expressed his satisfaction
Herewith. Harrison and his managers
swore that neither of them had written or
dictated such letter.

Ind, swore that in December, 1893, he had
made for one +. b. Bassett, 80 letterheads
like the one offered in evidence, and a
Miss McWhinney, typewriter in the
Dennison house, Indianapolis, swore that
she had prepared for a man who resem-
bled descriptions of Bassett, the letter
that Smith had offered IN evidence.
Bassett and Smith were guests at the
Kalamazoo house in December, 1898, and
Smith paid Bassett's bills. Attorney L.
w. Stevens testified that Bassett had
tried to sell certain information in the
case, intimating there was forgery.
In April, 1894, Mr.. Stevens went to
indianapolis and met Mrs. Burt. a
clairvoyant. She sail that Bassett had
come to her at Connersville. He told her
all about the Harrison case, and said
there was forgery. He had valuable cor
respondence with Smith and wanted to
find out whether to work Smith or Har-
rison for money. She told him she could
not tell unless ''she had the correspond
ence and went into trance"
Bassett was credulous and delivered
up the papers. Then Mrs. Burt fled.
She gave the papers TO Stevens and
helped him to find Chance and Miss Nc
Whlnney. The papers referred to con-
tanned letters from Smith to Bassett and
bill from Chance 10 Bassett for print.

refute this testimony.

Method of Gettin. Members.

The Anaconda Experiment. Changes Its
Method of Gettin. Members.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Anaconda fire department was held last
evening at the fire hall. The usual
amount of routine business was trans
acted and the committee on the revision
of the bylaws reported progress.
\ radical change was ordered in the
matter of the admission of new members
into the department. Heretofore appli-
cants for membership have been adj
united by the various companies which
make up the department namely the
Phoenix Hose company No. l and the
Hook and Ladder company. A motion
prevailed lost evening which will abolish
that system, the committee on laws
having been instructed to prepare a sec.
ton which will make ii necessary for new
members to be balloted upon by the en-
tire department and when admitted they
will DO assigned to duty In one of the COM
panies by the chief. The secretary was
requested to notify the hose company and
the hook and ladder company of the pro-
posed alteration. and though they may
act upon applications now under consd-
GRAFTON, the laws must be amended to
conform to the new regulation.
The application of the Columbia Hose
company No. 2, for admission to the de-
partment was received and passed until
the next regular meeting when it will be
made a special order of business.
= The matter of securing exempt certifi-
Gates" for members of the department
who have served for five years as firemen,
was discussed, but a motion to procure a
dozen certificates was lost. Several of
the members entitled to receive them de-
clared that they were not ready to be
placed on the retired list and they feared
that the acceptance of such a certificate
would bar them from the privileges of the
department.

by honorable Incidents, should, at its
close, be furnished by conduct at va
rance with a commendable purpose and
inconsistent with the example which
an officer in his rank should furnish to
submission to the restraints Of whole

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 2l.-Judging
from the appointments of delegates
already reported there will be upwards
of 300 opponents of the sound money
sentiment in the South in attendance at
the opening here on Thursday, the
23d inst. Every city, and most
of the large Southern towns will be
represented. The convention will meet
in the Auditorium, which has a
seating capacity of 5000, and the
probability is that its capacity will be
taxed to its utmost. Secretary Carlisle
will reach the city the morning Of the
23d, and it will be left to him to say
whether he shall speak during the day
session or at night. The applications
for quarters at the hotels indicate that
several thousand visitors, some from
Northern and Western cities will be on
hand to hear him.

BIG BULGE IN WHEAT
July Cereal jumps Over Three
Cents on Chicago
Change.
VISIBLE SUPPLY WAS SHORT
Something Over Two Million
Observation-Disclosures Helped Is
Some.

CHICAGO, May 21.-Wheat opened
with a big bulge and q continuation Of
the buying excitement of last week.
The market jumped 2 cents within the
first half hours trading, and although
reacting moderately from the top fig
ures, remained strong at q good adj
vance over Saturdays close. The July
option opened "a cents higher, at 7211a
cents, and went up wildly until it
struck 1874 cents.
There was free selling at the high point
and prices fell to 1914 cents. The ad-
vance was generally accredited to the
cold weather of Saturday and Sunday,
but was largely the result of a rush of
buying orders from the country. The
other markets were carried up with
wheat, July corn selling at 555s cents
and oats and pork scoring marked ad-
yances.
The visible supply, when posted.
showed a decrease of 3, 139, 600 bushels,
1000, 900 larger than was expected, and
this, with heavy country buying and
an advance of 3D. at St. Louis, caused
July to noun to 74R cents, Or 311s
cents above Saturdays final figures;
but fsee selling to take profits at the
advance, quickly caused a reaction to
74ls cents.
The signal service issued q bulletin
about the time of the opening which
did not tend to sooth the minds of the
shorts. 1t reported killing frosts on
Sunday night in Wisconsin, Michigan,
Dakota and Nebraska, and predicted
frosts in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa.
Kansas, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The
foreign markets were but slightly ap-
preciative on the bullish state of affairs
ruling here. Liverpool early cables re-
ported an advance there of only Id pei
Genital, with one-half of that lost before
the market closed, according to q pri.
vate dispatch.
