CHICAGO 1ARKEr LETTER.

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex-
change, Room 5, Columbian Building.
Wheat opened strong this morning
with nearly a cent advance over night,
and although the talent hammered it
numerically, they did not succeed in
making any material impression on
the market and all offerings were
quickly absorbed Oy responsible people
who think it is a good time to buy
wheat for a good advance. There has
been more than ten cents decline from
the top prices and good reaction is now
due on general principles. The visible is
rapidly decreasing and is now less than
4S,000,000 and the lowest it has been for
over three years. There has been no let
up to the decrease in the visible, which
commenced decreasing January 1, and
the mountainous stocks of nearly 1OO,-
0OU,000 bushels on hand at that time have
rapidly melted away until we now only
have barely enough for home consump-
ton.
The past week has been a constant
stream of liquidation, and it now looks
like timid holders have dumped their
long wheat, and the market will resume
its former strength and activity, and we
advise buying on all good breaks for
good upturn.
Corn and oats are gaining strength
and gradually seeking higher level.
Receipts are gradually dwindling to
nothing and cash and export demand is
all that could be desired. 1t looks like
short interest has been made in corn,
and if such is the case we are likely to
see much higher prices, favorable wealth
er and excellent crop prospects to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
Provisions are quiet, but firm, with
strong undertone. Conservative people
are buying pork on softspots, and itlooks
like good thing, as it has not shared the
weakness in wheat and remains firm and
steady, while the wheat market broke ten
cents Would buy September pork on
breaks.
No gossip today on account of wire
trouble.

LAWRENCE, June 18-The best known
and most popular man along the course
of the Kaw is Dolly Graeber. He is a
fisherman, letter of boats and an all
round fresh water seaman. Like most
of his craft he loves a life of adventure
and risk and never refuses dare.
Last evening a crowd of admirers
gathered around him to listen to rem
iniscent anecdotes of which Graeber has
a large store, and then finally got to
bantering him about going over the dam
in a boat Graeber without hesitation
declared he was ready to do it. Guy
Winchell was stationed below the dam
in boat to pick up the remains.
Dolly selected his light No. 1 skif,
the little Clinker, tied his row locks to
keep his oars in place and rowed back
he was of. rowing with all the
momentum he could muster straight
toward the dam where the current is the
swiftest. When on a line with the dam,
he gave one last strong sweep with the
oars and quickly turning about, caught
the sides of the boat firmly with both
hands The boat shot five feet into the
air, performing a graceful curve of TWEEN
ty feet before it touched the water be-
yond the breakers The skiff landed
right side up and the daring boatman
did not so much as get his feet wet
The river is high now and the water
boils up from the falls of the dam in
waves two and three feet high. The
rapids thus formed would be certain
death to anyone getting caught in them.
Last night makes the fourth time Dol
~ has shot the dam in boat within the
last thirteen years.

PURSUED BY AN 1NHUMAN FArHEl
A Little Newton Girl Hides in a Corn
Field to Escape Him.

NEWTON, June 18.-Annie Warfield, a
little colored girl living in the northeast
ern part of the city, has never had the
opportunity of learning the truth of
James Howard Payne's beautiful and
touching Home Sweet Home"
She has been abused by an inhuman
father until she was compelled to run
away from home. This she did last FRI
day. after being subjected to a terrible
beating.
The girl was pursued by her father,
who swore he would kill her, but she sue
ceeded in escaping him in corn field.
Here she staid Friday night and Satur-
day, until hunger forced her to go to a
neighbor's house.
why don't you go homer" asked the
woman who kept the child Saturday
night.
80, 1 would rather die" she replied.
Let me go anywhere; let me run away;
only don't take me home"
The girl was turned over to the au-
thorities Sunday morning and she was
taken to the poor farm, where she is be-
ing kept. 81 want to go to my brothers
in Kansas City" she said, but 1 don't
know where they are. They ran away
from home because Pa beat them, and l
want to run away, too" The family is in
fair circumstances for people of their
class, and the father is a hard working
man when not at home. He seems to
have vicious nature that is only vented
on the members of his family. He ties
them to the floor with strap and whips
them until they are exhausted, all on the
slightest pretexts. The little girl has
often gone to school with welts on her
back SO large and painful that she could
not lean back against the seat.
A warrant is out for the arrest of War
field and he will be tried for assault His
full name is Lafayette Warfeld.

The Cherries Are Gone.

The item in yesterdays paper stating
that Mrs. c. Crawford had been arrested
on the charge of stealing cherries from
a neighbours trees whose branches hung
over Mrs Crawford's yard, should have
stated that Mrs Crawford was arrested
for disturbing the peace of her neig h bor
The facts are there was some dis
pute as to the yard line and ownership
of the trees. Mrs. Crawford charged
West with taking cherries from branches
of her trees, and West had Mrs. Craw-
ford arrested. He however gallantIy
failed to appear at the trial and the case
was dismissed. At the end of the trial
Mrs. Crawford went home and picked the
cherries, avoiding future trouble over
this seasons crop.
