Impossible to Hold the Price Down at

Chicago, May 2O.-Wheat is still boom
ing. This morning the start was made
at the closing prices Of Saturday, and
by itful, starts, interrupted by
slight %relapses, the price jumped to
4Mc in little more than an hour Of ac-
tive trading. Corn, however, was not
able to keep this fast company, al
though the advance of last Saturday
was re-established, and after 8, rise to
54Ac for July delivery and 55kc for
September over the prices at closing
there was an advance to 55c for July and
SIC for September. But in other lines
the fever was felt. Pork, which jumped
to $12.55 Saturday, kept up it's pace and
reached $13.
Foreign cables showed an advance Of
a penny at Liverpool, but a decline and
an easier market in Paris and other
continental markets. The country spec
ulators seemed not to care a copper
what Liverpool or Paris was doing.
They wanted wheat in P~ecatonica and
everywhere else, and they sent to Chi
cage to buy 1t. Then the price went up
again. May closed at 72lAkc, July and
September 73Ac. Corn closed at $50

Thousands write that they suffered In
tensely with nervousness and were cured
by this great medicine. The building
up powers Of Hoods Sarsaparilla are
wonderful. Even a few doses are sufR-
Gent to create an appetite, and from
that time on its healing, purifying,
strengthening effects are plainly felt.
The nerves become stronger, the 81

hands and limbs become steady, and
soon "life seems to go OF without eft.

is the work which Hoods Sarsaparilla
is doing for hundreds of women today.

| lance could be made in a little over
| three hours. but in China even the
| power Of steam has submitted itself to
! the retarding, leisurely way of the ma
ton, and SO, starting from the one
place at early dawn, you reach the
| other at sunset.
Leaving Tientsin, on past the Taku
forts, one sees a monotonously level
country on either side, covered by the
water of flooded streams in autumn
and by the frozen ice in the winter, q
dismal desolation, quick not only to
breed malaria, but melancholia.
Journeying still further along, one
crosses the river Ian, which roars with
Its swollen waters from the mountain
heights in the RAINY JASON, and over
which strong iron bridge has been
built by the sl1illful, painstaking super
vision Of an English engineer. Costing
over a million dollars, immovable to the
mountain torrents. this bridge is won
der to the plodding Chinaman and .
crown to western brains.
From the river onward the scenery
becomes more mountainous, till you
reach the great wall and Shan-hai-kuan
on the sea.
The railroad was intended 70 reach
clear to Moukden, the ancient capital
Of the Manchus, but thus far. after
overcoming all manner of prejudice and
opposition, it has only succeeded in
making this town by the sea its ter
minus. Here the old and the new meet,
the great wall, with its sweep of fifteen
hundred miles, and the single track
iron road, with its modest stretch of
one hundred and eighty miles. If the
former could be built in ten years time,
why may not some grand trunk sys-
tenn of steel and steam be built now in
similar length of time?
When the project of railroad was
first preached there was some talk of
connecting Tfentsin with Picking, but
that met with too great opposition, not
only from the conservative faction. but
also from the many carriers and junk
men whose business was threatened
thereby. It was, therefore, decided to
take its present course, not only be-
cause the region was so barren, but as
. war measure to resist the better the
advances Of the Russians. During the
present war with Japan the utility of
the railroad has been abundantly
proven. Tens of thousands of soldiers
have been transferred through the
flooded country in half days time to
the important military station of Shan
hai-kuan. either to remain there or to
push their way still further into the
war section.
As the war with France extended the
telegraph, SO this present war will ex-
tend the railroad.
Just as the great wall winds its
course down into the sea itself, is built
