S40,0O0,000 on Wheat.

Although wheat is quieter now, prices
reached a high water mark last week
Secretary Of Agriculture Morton said
The riye OF wheat in Chicago and New
York mark, is during the last 60 days is
about 20 cents bushel. This on a crop
of 450, 900, 900 bushels makes 800, 600, 900,
and at least 200,000,000 bu,hels of this
wheat are owned by and in the hands of
American farmers. Thus in less than 60
days wheat has made ior its producers
about $40,000,O00. During the same
period silver has declined two cents an
ounce. The alleged kinship OF prices for
wheat and silver is disproved."
What has caused this rise? This is the
way it is explained:
The wheat crop OF the United States
last year amounted to 467 200, 900 bushels.
The preliminary report of the department
of agriculture indicates yield this year Of
about 413,000,000 bushels. The final
report may increase this total, but there is
no possibility of its reaching the average
yield, which is between 450, 900 and
460, 100000 bushels. This years crop,
according to present estimates, will, there
fore, be about "a ,O00,O 900 bushels less than
that of last year. Outside OF the United
States the wheat shortage is still more
noticeable, being estimated at fully 20o,-
900, 900 bushels. The yield has fallen off
largely in Russia and Australia, while in
many portions of India drought has caused
almost complete failure of the crop.
Manitoba, which last year had crop of
30, 200, 900 bushels, will this year, with a
crop of only 100000 bushels, have
nothing to spare for export.
. With a world shortage of between 25o.-
900, 900 and 800 .000, 900 bushels. it is evi-
dent that not only this years surplus OF
wheat in the United States, but also all
tn t has come over from previous years
will be required to supply the d, ficit. The
for home consumption are
about 32G, 10000 bushels ana for seed
ing at least $4,000, COO bushels, making
total of 376,000,000. This total sub
trdcted from the estimated yield this year
OF rs, 100000 bushels leaves only 81 ,000,-
600, available TOR export The surplus
lett over from former years is estimated at
S0,000,0 900 bush Is, so that the United
States will have only l7,000,0 900 bushels
OF wheat to supply worlds shortage OF
fuliy 2O0, 1000, 600 bushels.

The scandal connected with the insane
asylum at Waterbury will be and should be
thoroughly investigated. If there has been
inhuman treatment Of the unfortunates
there, the responsible parties should suffer
the extreme penalty of the law; but if on
the other hand these charges have been
preferred by disgruntled employees who
were discharged for inefficiency, no pains
should be spared to vindicate the officers
Of the asylum. The trustees Of the asylum
are S. ID. Hobson of Island Pond, w. N.
Platt of Shoreham and George w. Wing
of Montpelier, men whom we do not believe
would knowingly be negligent in whatever
trusts were confded to their hands.
Candidate Bryan gets more and more
as election day approaches.
He is wiling that his followers should be
guilty of any kind of hypocrisy if they only
vote right in the end. In a speech made
in Illinois last Saturday he said:
III VI lHt dbttIDpl Ol Jle rail-
roads to coerce their employees, | said re-
Gently that in these hard times, when en-
ployment is so difficult to find | did not
want to advise laboring men to do anything
which would lose them their employment,
and added that they should wear republ-
can buttons, it necessary, march in repub-
llcan parades, if they were commanded to
do SO, and even contribute to the republi-
can campaign fund, if that was required by
their employers, but that they should vote
according to their convictions on election |
day. There are some who can announce
their position in advance, and when a citi-
zen Is In position to act with independ- |
ence, am glad to see him do so, but when |
any employer violates the rights of his en-
oloyes by demanding that they shall march
N parades or wear certain badges. the en-
oloye has right to take advantage OF the
secret ballot

CRICKET CHIPS.
The Australian Eleven VIII Pass
Through in October.

It is in order for the local
cricketers to take some measures
to suitably entertain the celebrat-
ed Australian eleven now meeting
with such phenomenal success in
England. These famous cricket
ers have decided to leave for home
by way of San Francisco, arriving
there in time to play a represen-
tative California team on October
18th and 14th, should the associa-
ton offer sufficient inducement.
The committee of arrangements
is confident of bringing the two
days match to a successful issue.
So far the Australians have not
met a single defeat. They drew
with Lord Sheffield's All-England
and with the United South of
England and inflicted signal de-
feat upon Yorkshire, Essex, Ok
ford, Worcestershire and strong
eleven of all England. These
brilliant performances stamp the
kangaroos as the greatest aggrega-
ton of cricketers that ever left
Australia, and much curiosity is
being manifested as to the out
come of the proposed match in
San Francisco.
If the matter is agitated in time
arrangements might be made to
have the Australians stay over in
this city for one day, just long
enough to give the local opponents
of the game of cricket few
pointers.

PAINTED THE EAGLE ON A TOWER
The Thrilling Feat OF Russian
Sailor.

In the course of an account of
the progress Of the preparations
for the celebration of the Cars
coronation at Moscow, the London
Standards correspondent devotes
a paragraph to the feat of one of
the Russian sailors whose services
had been enlisted in the perform
ance of the more difficult parts
of the electric installation for the
illumination of the Kremlin:
81 watched this afternoon a
cool-headed sailor climbing about
the Russian eagle which sur
mounts, at a height of ITO feet,
the handsome tower of the Sa-
vior's Gate. Every now and then
the electric current would be turn
ed on and a few lamps fail to
light up. The sailor had then to
climb, wholly unaided, and carry
ing tools with him, round and
about thu huge eagle-it measures
about twenty feet across the wings
stepping on and holding by the
outspread wing feathers, for the
most part, until he succeeded in
reaching and putting to rights the
defaulting lamps. The risk, in
the cold, raw weather at such a
height, was immense, and it was a
Ielief when, after nearly an hours
labor, he reached comparative
safety a few yards below the peak
on which the eagle stands"

TODAY for the murder of James Coed
wood last September.
At exactly 9:90 Asimers came out of
his cell and walked between two deputy
sheriffs up the steps OF the scaffold. As
soon as he was in position on the drop.
he commenced talking in hesitating,
disconnected manner. His words we're !:
ST must die, I am all right, sheriff; be
good man, must die, I'm all right.
While he was saying this deputies were
strapping his arms and legs and adjust
ing the moose. With the last words,
Sheriff Watson touched lever at 9:32
and the body dropped nine feet. He
was pronounced dead at 9:36 and cut
down at 3:37. Every detail passed off
in the smoothest possible manner.
About thirty people witnessed the exc
cution, mostly sheriffs, doctors and
newspaper men.

MONTGOMERY HANGS
The Boy Murderer Exhibited
Wonderful Pluck.
FREELY CONFESSED HIS GUILT
And Made a Written Statement in
Which He ImplOred Forgive
ness For the Crime.

ALBANY, Or, Jan. 31.-Lloyd Breson
Montgomery. the self-confessed murder
er of his father and mother and D. Nc
Kercher, was hanged at O'Clock this
morning in the enclosure of the jail
yard. The prisoner exhibited wonderful
pluck, and did not finch upon the scat
fold. About half an hour before the ex-
ecution Mon tgomery said he would con-
TESS all. "I am guilty." he said ST
killed them all. 1 will write it out" !"
He then wrote out the following state
ment:
81 did it. am guilty. Oh God, have
mercy on me! Take me as am, poor
sinner! 1 am sorry for what 1 have
done; God, do have mercy on my poor
soul-for my sake do, and forgive all my
sins each and every one of them, and
forgive those who sin against me. Oh
God, help precious souls to see the way
of life; for my sake do help them and
guide them through this life. Amen"
AS he left for the scaffold he said: ''I
want you people to know am sorry for
what have done. am ready to die. I
deserve it."
After stepping upon the platform,
Montgomery said: Friends, am sorry
for what 1 have done, and hope you
will all forgive ae, and hope the Lord
will be with you, and ask God to have
mercy on me as a poor sinner, and ask
you to pray for me.'
Earnest prayers was then delivered by
Rev. ]. E. Snyder. After being securely
pinioned, the doomed boy said: sob,
Christ forgive me, and I hope you will
all meet me in heaven, and ask God to
take me as am"
The sheriff then adjusted the black
cap and rope, and stepped back, when
Montgomery said: 'Oh, God have
mercy on me, sinner. Take me as I
am. My friends, farewell, farewell"
Sheriff McFeron then pressed the trig
ger, and the body shot downwards full
six feet. There was no struggle, only a
slight tremor. The head was bent for
ward and to one side, and the neck was
broken. At fourteeen- a-half min
utes the heart ceased to beat, and at six
teen a-half minutes he was pro-
nounced dead. The body was then cut
down. It will be placed III the court
house for a short time, and will be
turned over to doctors for an autopsy
before burial. His relatives refused to
take possession of the, body or bury it.

A NEW COMPLICATION.

Britain Laws Claim to Prince Edwards
Island.
MONTREAL, Jan. ga special to the
Star from London says:
Lord Salisbury and Right Hon. Mr..
Chamberlain have been considering the
result of the inquiries into the records

bia, which show that the United States
has no right under the Anglo-Russian
treaty of 1925 to the 3 200 900 acres of
land of Prince of Wales island in the
Pacific coast, which is of great strategic
and commercial value, and which the
United States has usurped since buying
Alaska. The records of the dispatches
of Bagot to Lord Canning show that
Clarence straits and not Portland inlet is
the correct boundary. 1t is suggested

worlds fair authorities in favor of Ayers
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows ::
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not patent
medicine. 1t does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on it's
merits.''
