CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room s. Columbian Building.
Wheat opened strong at last nights
closing figures and steadily advanced
until full cent had been scored. The
foreign markets were rather firm and did
not respond to our decline of the past
two days. Export demand much better
and prospects of cold wave tomorrow
inundated the shorts, who decided to
try and even up a little over Sum
day and found no wheat for
sale and any attempt to cover caused
sharp advance. Exports were light,
only "a, 900 bushels wheat and flour to-
day, and 1,31O,318 bushels for the week
at the four ports, but the export demand
will undoubtedly be good at these prices,
and we look for large clearances from
now on and we will have a good, healthy,
strong market.
Corn quiet but firm: cash demand
good and firm undertone.
Oats strong but quiet.
Provisions are strong with indications
of continued advance. All offerings
are quickly absorbed by Armour and his
followers, and any decline is met with
good buying orders. We are friendly to
the long side of pork and advise buying
on any decline.

1t has often been said of Mile Rhea,

MR.. GRIGGS, BUGGY.

It Was Stolen Ratification Night, but the
Thief Has Been Caught.
On the night of the Republican ratifi-
cation last fall, Councilman Griggs'
horse and buggy were stolen from the
place where they had been left securely
hitched, on Seventh street, within half
block of Kansas avenue. Last night
Sheriff Burdge returned from Arkansas
City, bringing with him one of the men
who stole the rig. His name is
John Rush. Rush was one of
party of horse buyers who
were travelling over the country, and
were camped east of town from Novem-
Der 1st to about the 18th. During their
stay here somebody stole Rush's har-
ness. and he thought 'he'd leave town
even" so he stole the first set of harness
he came to, and inasmuch as it had a
horse and buggy attached, he took them
too.
The horse was turned loose the next
day and returned to his owner. Sheriff
Peterson of ,GowIey County captured
Rush. and Councilman Griggs' buggy is
where he can get it. Rush's partner is

on the deck of my boat I
easily reached the top with my hand,
and found the stones to be about three
inches long and weighing about as much
as an egg. The cone was so regular that it
would attract immediate attention. Near
by | found another of these heaps, and
in the course of the summer discov-
cred several Almost every one who saw
them thought they had been thrown over
from some vessel but one was located upon
very narrow inlet, making this explana-
ton impossible, and before long discovered
the origin of the mound. 1t was a verita-
bic castle OF stone, weighing in all probably
nearly ton, and was the nest of the fish
known very properly as the stone toter, or
SemotiluS.
The tish was about foot in length and
the nest was the result, doubtless, of sew
eral years work. In almost every case the
nest was Off sandy beach, but not in the
immediate vicinity of stones of any kind
so each pebble which the fish brought in
its mouth was taken from long distance,
suggestive of the labor represented by the
complete nest. Several fish worked at one
nest, and season after season it grew until
1t was, as seen, four or five feet from the
bottom, really menace to small boats.
and IN the spring, when the ice was broken
up, the top was carried away, to be re-
newed by the fishes that almost in
variably dropped the stones or pebbles
on the top, so that the tendency was to
form cone. On this stone fortress
the eggs were deposited and drifted into
the lnterstices of the heap, the young find
ing protection here from various predatory
fishes until they were large enough to care

for themselves. If one of these nests could
be taken from the water and exhibited in
case it would hardly be believed that it
was the work of so small a fish.
Equally remarkable is the nest of the
lamprey eel, which may also be called
stone fortress One described by friend
of the writer was twenty-five or thirty feet
in length, and from three to four feet in
height. The stones composing it were OF
all sizes up to half a brick, and when the
peculiar structure was first observed it was
supposed to be of human origin, and that
some time in the past some one had at
tempted to build dam
This was feasible, as the dam inclined
against the tide. Finally the fishes, to the
number of twenty or more, were observed
at work on it. Their method of procedure
was to swim up stream, fasten their suck
ing mouths to the stone and wriggle up
foot from the bottom, allowing the current
to sweep them down stream. When the
stone was half a pound in weight-and
some were half-bricks-two fishes would
attach themselves, and in this way the
stone would be brought down and dropped
on the pile, and the big dam slowly built
