THE SYNDICATE WHEAT.
Market Paraiyzed over the AnnounG

Market Paraiyzed Over the Announce
menr That 1T is to be Sold.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 30.-The an
nouncement that 100000 tons of syndi-
cate wheat, reputedly cornered by the
late James G. Fair, would be placed on
the market forthwith, together with the
peculiar disappearance of G. 5. Smith,
cashier and bookkeeper for l.. W. Nc
Glauflin x Co., who acted as Fairs brok-
,ers, had the effect Of paralyzii,g the local
grain market. 1t is said that q trio of
;skillful brokers-C. Is. Stone and Messrs.
Dutard and McGlaufin-will handle the
sale of the wheat.
Stone helped clear up the mists that
hung over the local grain market in
1887, after George Brander's vain at
tempt, through the Nevada Bank, TO
corner all the wheat in the world.
1t is now understood that with Smith
disappeared not only one. but several
important books of McGlaufiin IL Co., al
though the firm does not admit this or
the other loss.
The police have discontinued their
search for the missing cashier, McGlauf-
is no need for further investigation.
Rumors on California street are to the
effect that the disappearance of Cashier
Smith and his books will be convenient
for the Fair estate during its impending
litigation. A brother of one OF the four
Fair executors is a partner in McGlauf1ln
d Co. Many believe that Smith has been
tool of spectators and is now made
their scapegoat.
Smiths wife says that her uneasiness
over his disappearance has been allayed.

From the indianapolis Sentinel.
Governor Matthews is telling a good
story he heard in the south recently.
In valley in the northern part Of Gecr-
gia, between two mountains which shut
ont an communication with the out
side world. there lived an old planter
who, while an ardent adherent of the
southern cause. was too badly crippled
by infrmities to shoulder a musket
and march barefooted. But he had q
son whom he sent and after the boy had
disappeared down the road the old man
waited for the news Of the strife. De-
CasiOnally TUmOrs of southern victor
les would float over the mountains and
the old m3n-UDcle S. he was called
would rejoice and take an unusually
large dose of mint iulep. At other
times when reverse news came and it
was reported that the gray had been
turned back the old man would bitter
lv lament and use the same remedy Tor
grief and sorrow that he used TO quiet
his joy. Through it all he had abund-
ant faith I'm the ultimate victory of the
confederate army and any doubt ex-
pressed would meet with 4 stern re-
buke.
The years wore on and news failed
% arrive The valley was deserted and
there was no one to learn the course Of
events. The old man smoked his pipe
and waited impauentiy for news. One
rrar hla hn ~,
with his pipe, far down the dusty road
appeared the form OF a solitary pedes-
trian Gradually he approached and
the feeble vision of the aged planter
recognized his l0ng-absent son. The
puffs from the pipe came thick and fast
but this was the only sign Of eagerness
or nervousness displayed. The gate
swung open and the soldier walked up
and sat down on the steps.
"MOrnin'. jim, said the old man.
"Nornin. pap" was the quiet re-

"Well. pap. we uns all ft our best an
