CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex-
change, Room 5, Columbian Building.
Wheat opened little easier this morn
ing on lower cables and persistent sell
ing by the bear element They ham
mered the September option to 1919, but
at this price there was a wave of buying
orders and crop damage reports from the
northwest, which sent the price up to
TN in five minutes
Wheat is in good hands and for the
last few days conservative traders who
believe wheat is too low have been buy
ing it on all breaks for a 10 cent ad =
vance, which is bound to come sooner or
later.
We advise customers to buy on all
weak spots for big profit, as at these
prices wheat with the disappointing re-
turns from harvesting and threshing re-
turns is relatively cheaper than when i
was selling at % cents.
Corn and oats showed considerable
strength at times but heavy selling pre-
vented any material advance.
Provisions were quiet all day. There
are good tips out to buy September pork
around 1925 and we think il is all right
Receipts of hogs are falling off material
" and will continue light for some time
yet.

Experiences OF a Delaware Girl Who
Wished to See the World.

Experiences OF a Delaware Girl Who
Wished to See the World.
WILMINGTON, Del. July 3.-Miss Net
tie Dickey, of Stanton, who has just re-
turned home, tells an interesting starry of
how she saw the world, dressed as man.
Miss ickey is pretty girl of 26 summers,
tall, slender and of blonde complexion.
On the afternoon of March "A she
slipped out of her house and went to the
wood shed, where she donned male at
tire and went to Newark, from which
place Miss Dickey took her departure.
Detectives were sent in pursuit, but
they were unable to find her. All the
money she had was a $50 gold piece,
and when she arrived in Chicago
she had just $348 in her pocket
For three days and nights the
young woman tramped the streets. She
finally went to lumber yard, where she
obtained at the cheap restaurants For
several weeks she lived in lumber yards
and box cars, until she became sick and
was taken to the Cook county hospital,
where doctor discovered her sex and the
girl told him her name and where she be-
longed. After listening to her narrative
the doctor notified her parents. On April
"a, one month from the time of her dis
appearance. she wrote to her mother, de-
scribing her sufferings and asking for
givenes5.
In three weeks from the time she was
admitted to the hospital she had re-
! covered sufficiently to walk about
There was some doubt in the
doctors mind as to her sanity,
and she was ordered to appear in court
for examination. This resulted in her
transfer to the Dunning insane asylum,
where she remained until last Tuesday.
! Then, on an order from her parents. she
was released. During her Incarceration
at the asylum trunk filed with clothes
arrived from her home and upon her re-
lease she started for home.

vIADUCT DANGEROUS.
There May Be a Terrible Accident on
the ViueWood Track Soon.

There May Be a Terrible Accident on
the ViuewOod Track Soon.
City Engineer Barnes has inspected
the Ninth street viaduct used by the
Vinewood Park railway, and he will re-
port to the council that the viaduet is in
a very unsafe condition.
He says that there is probably no
danger of the viaduct going down soon
under the weight of the train, but if
there were an accident on the train or
the train left the track the cars and
engine would probably go to the bot
tom.
City Engineer Barnes found many of
the piles which support the structure de-
cayed at the ground so as to be useless.
He found the ties upon which the track
rests in a decaying and unsafe condition
and the track out of alignment. The
guard rail which would prevent the
train falling from the structure if
it should leave the tracks is
badly decayed and would not keep the
train on the trestle in case of an acct
dent The whole structure needs over
hauling very badly and if it is not done
at once q serious accident may happen
The people who ride over the viaduct
noticed its condition and COM
planned to Councilman Roundtree,
who called the attention of the
council to the matter and the city engi-
neer was instructed to investigate. The
ordinance giving the road a franchise
makes them subject to the orders of the
council and when the city engineers re-
port is made the company will be or
dered to fix the viaduct Immediately.

COLORED MEN INCAPABLE.
Serious Trouble Threatened in Jamaica
Because They Can't Handle Contracts.

Serious Trouble Threatened in Jamaica
Because They Can't Handle Contracts.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, July st is
feared that considerable trouble will
take place in consequence of the
American contractors of the ia
maica railway having let sub-contracts
to colored men who do not seem able to
get along with the laborers. Several out
breaks have occurred. the men protesting
| that they are unable to get their wages,
and the sub-contractors complaining
loudly that the yankees have not paid
them"
The facts are that only half the work
on which they are engaged is done, and
the subcontractors want full payment.
The insolent demands of the l&borers
| have already resulted in several danger
GUS assaults, and few days since a seri-
Que riot was quelled near Port Antonio
At Antonio on June 25 there was a
slight disturbance growing out of the re-
cent killing of a colored man
named Morrison by an American,
! Charles Peterson acting time keep
sr, on the line near Port Antonio
The deed was committed at a place
called High Gate and was the outcome
of some attentions which Peterson at
tempted to pay to the murdered mans
daughter. Peterson ia in custody at
Port Maria.
The steamer Bridgeton. which arrived
in jamaica the same day as the George
W. Childs, is still here. under
going repairs. The captain en-
| phstically denies that he has been
or is going any f1llibuster-
ing expedition. The Spanish consul de-
manded an investigation but no evidence
| could be found on board. Meanwhile
the American consul visited the Bridge
ton and reported that the Bridgeton was
no more a flibusterer than he was.
The commander poo-pooed the whole
affair and seems to be very much amused
| over the manner in which the Consul
for Spaid is exercised

''The object and purpose of this as

cate and extend by all legitimate and
honorable means the principles of BIZ
metailism, and the equal use of gold and
silver as primary money in the United

pies, which each member of this league
pledges himself to use his best efforts to
promote, advocate and have enacted as
the law of the land.
Resolved. That we declare ourselves
to be unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard, and demand the immedi-
ate return TO the constitutional standard
of gold and silver by the restoration by
this government, independently of any
foreign power, of the unrestricted coin
age of both gold and silver into standard
money at the ratio of l6 to l. and upon
terms of exact equality; the silver coin
to be a full legal tender equally with
gold for all debt and dues, public or pri-
vate.
Resolved. That we hold that the power
to control and regulate a paper currency
is inseparable from the power to coin
money, and hence that all currency in
tended to circulate as money should be
issued, and its volume controlled by the
general government only and should be
legal tender.
Resolved, That we are unalterably op-
of interest bearing bonds in the time of
coin obligations of the United States, as
provided by existing laws, in either gold
or silver, at the option of the govern
ment, and not at the option of the credi-
tor.
Resolved, That we hereby pledge our
selves o support no candidate for presi-
dent of the United States who is not for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l without reference
to any other government.
