DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW.
Wheat Advanced About Two Cents, and
Dropped a Cent.

Wheat Advanced About Two Cents, and
Dropped a Cent
New YORK, Sept. 23.-R. G. Dun g.
Co. s weekly review of trade says: In
spite of gold exports wheat advanced
for some days, in all nearly two cents,
mainly because q single speculator
bought, but on Friday fell about one
cent. Corn rose and fell in sympathy
with wheat, with as little reason.
Western wheat receipts for three
weeks of September have been l6,
$50 bushels against 16,491, 62S last
year, while Atlantic exports flour in
cluded) have been 3,941, 500 bushels
against 1921, 1856 last year.
Good reports of foreign crops, weak
ness of flour in Minnesota and large
exports of -four from this country, all
work against rise in wheat, though
scarcity of contract grades may help
speculative advance. Pork products
have been reasonably yielding, with
prospects of large corn crop, but be-
fore the close had a stronger tone.
The cotton market, lifting and falling
fraction each day alternately, shows
no settled tendency, big stocks bal
ancing an undoubted but yet not
definite decrease in yield.

DAMAGES FOR LIBEL.
A Virginia Paper Brought to Terms By
the American Book Company.

A Virginia Paper Brought to Terms By
the American Book Company.
A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, SAYS:
''The American Book company Of New
York has just gained signal victory In the
courts Of Virginia and has received an ao-
solute and complete vindication after long
and exhaustive trial by special jury in the
Circuit court Of this city. The Pilot news
paper Of this city, upon the awarding Of
the contract for school books to the Amer
lean Book company, printed long article
written and prepared by r. e. Byrd, an
agent and attorney for CHM & Co., Of New
York, In which it was charged that the
state superintendent had been bribed by
the American Book company. The Pilot
was Immediately sued for libel, and, after
a Eve weeks trial, which created an inn
mense amount of interest throughout the
state, verdict for punitive damages was
recently awarded, and the jury found that
the statements made we're false and q
deliberate libel. Not only so, but the
company, upon unimpeachable evidence,
was proved to have dealt honorably and up-
rightly In every particular In their negotiar
lions with the state officials. It was furth-
or proved at the trial that no better terms
had been made With any other state for
school books. In tAct, the attorney general
Va oNabSu bhhb huo AAhoAA Sfh bO0A
company seemed to throw open their whole
business to u.s. and after full and complete
examination Of all the original contracts
made with the various states he expressed
himself as absolutely satisfied that the
prices were the same In all cases and that
no discrimination whatever had been made
against the state Of Virginia. Furthermor0
he mentioned that none Of the statements
Of the American Book company had been
accepted until every one Of them had been
absolutely verified by direct reference to
the governors Of some fifteen states, with
whom contracts had been made. This
proved conclusivelythat the representations
Of the American Book company were cor
Iect In toto. This celebrated case has thus
ended In . complete triumph in every TO
spect for the American Book company, and
has shown In clear contrast the clean and
business-hke methods In which they carry
on their great industry as compared with
the attempted use Of political pulls and
misstatemsnts BY their opponsnts."-Cht.

The Arctic Explorer and His Followers
In Bad Shape When Rescued.
st. Johns, Newfoundland, Sept. Pa
On arrival of the steamer Kite here
Lieutenant Peary and Hugh j. Lee
with his colored servant, Henson,
were found safe OH board. They were
found at Whale Sound on August 8,
waiting for the Kite, and had only ten
days previously returned from an
overland expedition which had proved
a comparative failure. Independence
bay, the most northern part of Green
land, was reached early in June, but
they were deferred from going on by
insufficiency of food, and were oliged
to abandon the attempt to make fur
Their progress. Nearly all of the dogs
persisted and the remainder had to be
shot, owing to the inability to provide
them with anything to eat
Many sensational stories are current
among the crew of the extremities to
which Peary, Lee and Hansen were
reduced. According to the stories,
which the explorers decline to deny,
they were almost starved, and were
forced to eat seal and other refuse to
keep alive.

ILLINOIS TAXATION.
Startling Report Made by the Bureau
of Labor stAtIstIcs.

of Labor Statistics.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-The
most sensational report ever issued by
q state bureau was made public by the
Illinois bureau of labor statistics.
1t charges that the great majority
of the wealthy Taxpayers Of Illinois,
and more especially of Chicago, are
perjurers; that the assessors are guilty
of malfeasance in Office, that the pres
emit financial condition of Chicago is
directly traceable to the corrupt sys-
tenn of taxation, and that the ''deplor-
able condition of work is due to the
MISUNDERSTANDING methods Of taxation
which prevail in Illinois,"
The report is made up of mass of
tables compiled from official reports of
assessors, banks, real estate transfers,
boards of equalization and the various
municipal departments to which the
agents of the bureau had access.
After declaring that lit is the purpose
of the report to expose existing meth
odt of taxation in Illinois, with special
reference to their effect upon the labor
interests" the board proceeds to re-
view the work of former bureaus. The
stand is taken that it is idle to dwell
upon the wages and condition of the
average wage earners of the state.
The bureau contends that the condi-
ton sis proved by evidence so clear
and abundant that the compilation of
any further statistics would be wasted
effort" The bureau takes the posi-
ton that taxation is the chief instru-
ment Of tyranny"

Cam CURE ASTHMA.
A Leading Physician at Last Discovers
tho Remedy.


The majority of sufferers from
Asthma and kindred complaints, after
trying Doctors and numberless Rene
dies advertised as positive cures, With
out avail, have come to the conclusion
that there is no cure for this most dis
tressing disease, and these same per-
sons will be the more in doubt and skep-
tical when they learn through the col
umns Of the press that DR.. Rudolph
Schinmann, the recognized authority,
who has treated more cases of these dis
eases than any living Doctor, has
achieved success by perfecting q rem
edy which not only gives relief in the
worst cases, but has positively cured
thousands OF sufferers who were con-
sidered incurable. These were Just as
skeptical as some Of our readers now
are. DR.. Schiffmanns remedy no doubt
possesses the merit which Is claimed for
1t or he would not authorize this paper
to announce that he is not only willing
to give free to each person suffering
from Asthma, Hay Fever Phthtsic, or
Bronchitis one free liberal trial package
Of his cure, but urgently requests all
sufferers to send him their name and
address and receive a package, abso-
lutely free Of charge, knowing that In
making the claim he does for his cure
a strong doubt may arise in the minds
Of many and that a personal test, as he
offers to all. will be more convincing
and prove its merits than the publish
ing Of thousands of testimonials from
others who have been permanently
cured by the use of his Asthma cure.
"Dr. Schiffmanns Asthma Cure" as 1t
Is called, has been sold by all drug
gists ever since it was first introduced,
although many persons may never have
heard Of it. and 1t is with view to
reaching these that he makes this offer
This is certainly a most generous and
fair offer, and all who are suffering from
any Of the above complaints should
write to him at once and avail them
selves Of the same, as positively no free
samples can be obtained after Oct. 10. ADJ
