Our evening contemporary is at
tempting to defeat J. w. Wilson by as
sorting that if he is elected Frank Da-
roux will be Chief of the Fire Depart
ment and NJ. a. Howard Superintend-
ent of Streets, in spite of the fact that
Mr. Wilson has distinctly and positively
declared that he is under pledge to no
man. We should think the Bees former
experience in that line of tactics would
have been sufficient. 1t attempted 10
defeat William B. Hamilton for County
Clerk by declaring that he would ap-
point George Register his deputy and as
sailing Registers character. The re-
suit was that Hamilton was elected by
an overwhelming majority, hundreds
of citizens voting for him solely on ac-
count of the underhanded fight made
against him.

The announcement Is made that no
hope is now entertained by his physi-
clans of the recovery of Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Willard, whose death they expect
within few days at the outside. The
Lieutenant-Governor is great sufferer,
and death will be relief to his enfeebled
body. But it will not be the less sad.
The Lieutenant Governor is a young
man whose am bition has been noble. and
whose aspirations, like his life, have been
clean and high-minded. He had before
him an open way to political promotion,
standing high in the esteem of his COM
munity and his party, respected and hon.
ored on all sides. That such life should
be cut short is most regrettable, and if
indeed it's case is hopeless it is not un-
timely to express the sympathy the peo-
pie feel for tue family of the Lieutenant
Governor while he still lives.

better results.

me so that next year. 1898. put in %
acres. l was not very happy in the selec-
ton of my land. as 10 acres OF this was
fruit land, which gave but poor return
IN beets. though l made good wages but
the other Is acres paid me equally as
well as in 1892, and my total returns
were over $1,000. F!om 5A acres 1 re alized

we're not supposed to do so we'll. yet from

OF trade
CHICAGO. Sept. 25.-Wheat went up
with a whirl and down with thud to.
day. closing 11c lower for December. Tns
bulge started on the curb yesterday after
noon on a dispatch from London saying
that Russia was now offering very little
wheat, the current shipments being
wheat sold some time ago for September
and October delivery. A good deal OF
this strength was left over and affected
the market at the opening, and there were
a good many orders from the outside.
brought in by the news of the advance,
which went out last night. The fact that
the northwest deliveries were only about
two-thirds OF what they were yesterday
and less than they were year ago. also
tended TO strengthen the situati o II. as did
the stronger Liverpool cables. Shorts
were much alarmed at the situation ana
there was free covering, while the scalpers
got bullish and bought for the long &C.
count and the offerings were for time
rather meager. Later the market began
to weaken, lucky longs began to realize
profits and there was free snort selling,
under which the price went off Ia from
the high point. when the seaboard clear
ances checked the decline and sent prices
up again. The market turned extremely
weak during the last nour, everybody
trying to sell at once.
Corn was very dull. 1t opened firm ana
a shade higher, but the advance was all
lost and something else besides at the
close. May lost Use on the dav.
May oats closed dull anu unchanged.
The provision market was very dull.
Pork is 215 cents lower; Lard unchanged
for October and 21a cents lower for Janu-
airy and Ribs "a cents higher for October
and ~ cents for January.
