WHEAT 10 CENTS A BUsHEL
Chicago VIII Ship the Grain to Kansas
City

N
Kansas City, Mo-, May 17.-Wheat
sold in Kansas City at 70 cents a bushel.
an advance of nearly 80 cents from the
extreme low price of last fall. So scarce
has wheat become in the southwest. and
so high have prices become that wheat
was bought in Chicago for ship
ment to this city. A special rate of 3ta
cents a hundred weight has been made
for the purpose and 1t is expected that a
/ good deal of wheat will be brought here
from Chicago. The wheat supply east
and west has become almost wholly ex-
ilausted and crop prospects are so poor
that the few who possess wheat are dis
posed to hold it. There are about 300.'
600 bushels in Kansas City elevators.
but very little of 1T is for sale at any
price. Chicago has over 90, 1000, 900 BUSH
els in store and the mills all over the
central west and southwest have been
compelled to go to that city for supple:
doubtless buying back in some cases
the very wheat which was shipped To
Chicago from their own localities last
fall when wheat was cheap. The posi-.
bility of shipping from Chicago to Kan.
sas City has been talked of for some
time past. 1T has now become an actual
occurrence and it is a thing which never
happened before since Kansas began
to raise wheat for the west.

Few men have lived through so much

hao the knack of being always "in it"

was in California at the outbreak Of the
gold fever, during that season of for
tune making and frantic prices.
Blankets" he said, worth a dollar,
or two elsewhere, sell for $50 here.

ferent house for $500; mechanics get
$40 a day, common laborers 81 an hour"
He was on hand when the Mexican
war took place aud at the beginning Of
the civil war. After his great march to
the sea he wrote from Savannah: II

he former.

rarely accustomed of late years to eX-
tended absences from the city during

ward to any such treat this time. Such
trips as they take are likely to be short
ones.
Secretary and Mrs. Lamont are going
to West Point in June for the gradu-
ating exercises, The early part of the

CUTS STREET GAR PROFITS.

Tho Advance of the bicycle Reduces
Street Car Travel.
Kansas City. Mo-. May 1.-THE rapid
increase in the number of bicycles in
use is having a marked effect on the
business of the street railway comp
aanies. When the eathe is pleasant
and the unpaved streets outside of tha
business district are dry and in good
condition cars in the morning are rarely
crowded with passengers. On damp
days or when streets are muddy the reg.
ular travel is increased. A like differ
ence is noted at night. Only the increase
in population has prevented a falling Off
iii the receipts OF railway companies.
AS the fixed charges and operating ex-
penses are very much the same at all
times, a difference of a few thousand
fares each mont makes a pronounced
difference in the profits of a years bust
ness. The prediction has been made
that if the bicycle continues to grow in
popularity 1t will be a long time before
there will be m new street RAILWAYS.

which assemblies this afternoon and will

Delegates from nearly all the lodges in
he United States have arrived, and
he prevailing sentiment is in favor of

md new officers will be elected to whom
III subordinate lodges can yield allie

ire endeavoring to prolong the trouble
md have called a meeting of the grand

brown overheard. The trouble in the
order dates from June, 1898, and has
,een productive of considerable litiga-
ion. Last year two grand lodges were
n existence. n meeting at jamestown
nd the other at Atlantic City. The
convention of today grew out of a peace
conference held in Chicago last March,
which declared that the order was op-
POSED to strife and disputes. and that
PEACE and good will ought to prevail
n it's ranks.

Origin of the Matt h.

Romcr, Preschel and Irinyi are vari.
ously named as inventors of phosphor-
GUS matches.
From the testimony of a still living
college friend it appears that the real
inventor is the Hungarian, James Irinyi.
1t was in 1885, when the latter, then 19
years old and a student at the Poly
technic school in Vienna, attended Prof.
Meissner's lectures on chemistry. He
became greatly impressed by a demon
s~tration of the reaction produced on
rubbing together peroxide of lead and
sulphur. II struck him at once that the
reaction may be greatly intensified
when substituting PHOSPHORUS for sui
phur. Irinyi wa not to be seer at the
college for the next few days. His
friend. wishing to see him. called at his
rooms but found the door locked.
On joining his friends Iriny; had his
pockets full Of matches. which he struck
on the walls, all of them taking fire.
He prepared them by melting phos-
phorous in a concentrated solution of
glue and shaking until the mass became
cold and all the PHOSPHORUS assumed a
finely divided state. This emulsion
was mixed with brown peroxide of lead
and sticks previously dipped in molten
sulphur were immersed in the mixture.
He sold his invention. it is recorded, to
n merchant named Romer for about

WIN.
The Presbyterian General Assembly OIL
Seminary Control

Pittsburg, Pa, May 20.-By a vote of
432 to 90 this afternoon the Presbyte-
rian general assembly decided to con
tinue the movement which is intended
to give the assembly absolute control
over its theological seminaries. The
resolutions and recommendations were
adopted by overwhelming majorities.
The result of the vote was a surprise
even to the best observers, and it was
credited to some extent to a letter pub
lished this morning purporting to re-
veal a liberal plot to secure the mod
~eratorship for a supposed liberal can
didate. Jubilation marked the faces of
those who supported the resolutions of
h conference committee.
The success promises to embolden the
conservatives for drastic measures
against the students of Union seminary.
The vote today was a declaration OF
war to the knife, n the only outcome
will be surrender or secession. A fra
ternal letter was sent to the general
assembly of the Southern Presbyterian
church at Dallas, Tex.

From the lumber and nature of the

to the opinion that the present scale

ity believe that it should be so revised
as to bring wages back to the plane,
