Chicago. Feb. af-Wheat-There was a
smaller trade, tho market having mors
quiet nariods, the range for the session be
ing &c The feeling developed was rather
unsettled. and the market on a hating,
hssitating order. operators acting with
more than ordinary caution The tone at
the start was weak. and there was quite
general selling by holders who were much
disappointed at the tone Of Liverpool ca
bles, which came in I'd lower. IN the face
OF the advance on this side yesterday. The
market there was said TO be affected by the
free offerings from Russia. Northwestern
receipts, too, cut something OF figure,
the arrivals In that section. al cars, being
taraer than last week and a year ago. The
weather, too. was mild and sprfng-like. and
added TO the weakness. Under the early
selling pressure May which opened OFF az

the market stock took a sudden upturn II
was reported that twerty~fonr boat loads
had been taken az New York for export,
and this. with the report that 60 bushels

made a very fair sh0winE-s3l 60 bushels

TO cover az that aGaynce was developed,
and the price gradually weakened to s624c.

Corn was fairly active bat easier. the re-
action IN wheat and liberal local receipts

were struggling year ago to
get rid of Ament just az
the Rock Island schools are today.
The ARGUS has evidence that while
on q visit to Carroll last winter he
stated TO at least three different peo-
pie. and no one knows how many
more, that he had Rock Island ..un-
der his thumb" and that he had
'three Of the members Of the school
board OF Rock Island under his
thumb" And yet THE ARGUS. in ths
opinion of DR.. Claudius B. Kinyon
has been guilty Of a falsehood be-
cause it has given to the public
words from the lips of the same man
which he doubted because others
did not hear them.
As far as Mr.. Ament is concerned
there is no better index to his char
acter than his having been present at
the meeting OF the board which was
to discuss his fitness, much less par
ticipating in the discussion Of the
question. With reference to DR..
Kinyon's statement that the men,
bers Of the board positively or en-
phat;cally disavowed knowledge Of
the remarks of Mr.. Ament the direc-
tors simply stated that they had
heard MIR. Ament make no such re-
mark.

BLAIR ON THE BRIDGE

He Says the Terminal Company Proposes
q First Class Structure.
That the Rock Island Bridge &
Terminal company's bridge across
the Mississippi in the lower end Of
the city will be one of the best of its
kind. Promoter F. P. Blair wishes to
impress upon the public mind. not.
withstanding that rumors to the con-
trary have been circulated.
MIR. Blair. accompanied by Chief
Engineer c. f. Loweth, was in the
city yesterday. 81 have got wind of
this talk that we are doing q slim
job on the bridge; but 1 am not at
all surprised at it. But I do want
the people Of Rock Island to UNDER
stand that one Of the best bridges
which spans the big river is going
up" The Rock Island shore pier is
completed and work begun on the
second pier has been suspended ow-
Ing to the high water. The river
work is rather slow. it being neces-
sary to build q Golfer dam around
where each pier is to 30 located.
Mr.. Blair said that his company
also proposed building a culvert un-
der the tracks on Seventh street
which would insure a driveway to
the waters edge.

HE WANTED TO DIE.
Mysterious Call at q Doctors
Residence.
NAN 1xAeIEEs he Is Prosecuted.

So Far. However. the Coroner Has Net
Heard OF Him and He b Probably stin
In tho Land Of the Living His Identity
Unknown.
There was rude and hurried ring
OF the door bell at DR.. +. ID. Paul's
residence. 424 Twenty-third street,
at O'Clock this morning, and re-
spending Dr. Paul found there .
heavily built man apparently about
30 years of age. who was an entire
stranger to him. The caller knew
the doctor, however. and in excited
tones he appealed for some prsscrip-
ton that would put him out of the
way. The doctor admonished him that
the physicians mission ON earth was
to save. and not to destroy. and that
he thought a nervine would be more
applicable to his case. But the man
persisted that he wanted to commit
suicide and asked if strychnine was
the right thing to produce death.
The doctor informed him most as
suredly that it was, but that he did
not think he wanted any.
Eyes I do'' said the agitated
stranger, II am going to commit sui
eide"
The doctor sought to dissuade the
caller from so rash a purpose and
asked him what was the cause OF his
determination.
Said He Was Being Prosecuted.
The stranger replied that he was
being prosecuted, that people were
after him and that the only means by
which he could get out of their way
was to kill himself. The man gave
his name as Schumacher, but did
not divulge his first name or where
he lived. He left. however, vowing
his purpose to destroy himself, il not
by poison, by some other means.
A Davenport Suicide.
A young man named William Lee
was found near the Rock Island rail-
road tracks in the vicinity of the
Davenport fair grounds this after
noon with his throat cut. He came
from Chicago last night, and was 20
years of years.
He does not answer the description
of the man who called at DIR. Faul's
house, although he may be the same.
