change. 526 Kansas Avsnus.
Wheat has been a very dull and unin-
terestiug market throughout the entire
session. Private Liverpool cables came
14c lower. Northwestern receipts ex-
ceeded by 200 cars the receipts of the
CORES bonding day last year. There was
some show of strength at the opening
this morning, but this was met by d wave
of selling orders by people taking profits
on which they had full half cent profit.
We cannot but think that wheat is now
dragging on the bottom and while it may
not show very quick profits to those who
purchase at present prices but those who
have the patience to hold on and wait q
little will be amply rewarded in the long
run for their patience, as wheat bought
at these prices is of the best and mos.
attractive investments offered to the spec
ulating public. There is no denying the
fact that the acreage sowu to winter
wheat IS very much short of what il was
year ago and the condition, owing TO
the prolonged drought is anything but
encouraging for another crop.

coon was freed in small tree. l. was
not difficult 10 shake him to the ground

1t was decided to let but one dog light
the animal, and Mr.. Perkins bulldog,
Jack, was turned loose. Jack has had
many battle with dogs, and his favorite
hold" is the hind leg. and naturally that
was where he fastened onto the coon.
Mr.. Perkins saw that the dog was re-
ceiving pretty severe punishment and
proceeded to separate the animals so as
to allow Jack to sock his worries into the
'coon's neck, The nocturnal roamer of
the wood objected to any such interfer-
ence and immediately turned from Jack
to Mr.. Perkins and snapped the end of
his thumb of. The wound was very
painful, but is healing nicely.
The coon was then despatched by the
pack of hounds.

BARNUM'S MENAGERIE.
It is in Its Winter Quarters and the
Animals Happy.


BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 20.-The winter
quarters Of Barnum's show are in this
city. The season is over and the show
came home today in four trains direct
from Texas.
The first train arrived before daylight
and was duly switched upon the private
siding which runs alongside the winter
quarters enclosure.
Heavy rains of the past few DAYS had
softened the filling under the track, and
when the cars passed over it the rails
settled and the cars listed to port.
This, together with the crowding of
the animals, toppled over few of the
cages, and as they burst open the beasts
made rush for their winter homes.
Some OF the animals cleared the fence
around the enclosure with an easy
spring. The adjutant aud storks few
over The giraffes looked over, but
when the elephants came along the fence
fell down like card board.
The lions, tigers and leopards all scam
pered to their winter cages and crawled
in. The elephants, so Bill Newman said,
walked solemnly to the big pen and
his fore leg with his dexterous trunk.
Then the herd whistIed for hay and car
rots.
Ia the center of the enclosure large
building has been put up since spring.
This was new to the animals, and it con-
fused them. The hiPpopotamus and the
polar bears and the camels strayed off
towards the cemetery. The monkeys all
ran into the main office and sat around
the stove until their keeper. William
Walter, showed them their new rooms on
the upper floor.
None of the animals did any harm
They all seemed to be too glad to get
hnrna to make any trouble
