The Days Transactions on the Board of
Trade.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1-Lverpool was again
the ruling factor in wheat, especially at the
opening. 1t sent Id lower quotations to start
with, notwiths landing yesterdays advance
here This was very unpleasant surprise
to SPECTATORS and its effect was felt as
soon as trading commenced. May, which
yesterday rested at S4a4, started with sell
ers at from S4ss to S4h and in the course
of an hour. it had worked down to SSs4. I'M
mediately after the opening 1t temporarily
rose to S43t. This was due to two reasons.
One of them was the almost total absence
of wheat deliveries, something that has not
happened before in years. 1t was said that
not to exceed rs. 900 bushels were delivered
on December contracts. This is one of the
four big days of the year for deliveries anc
ordinarily from 2,0000O to 3.0O0000 bushels
of wheat would go around on contracts,
That 1t did not was duo to the fact that all
cash wheat was at premium over the
December price. This was regarded as a
decidedly bullish factor The other was the
northwest receipts. Minneapolis and Dull
nth reported but S15 cars as compared with
379 last week and 905 last year. Chicago re-
ceived 5S cars against SO last week and 39S
last year. But even these strong features
failed to stem the tide of liquidation. which
was increased by later cables. showing Il

as she heard the rattle Of horsemen behind
her. Presently she came to the dead depu-
ty and his horse. but the sight did not ap-
pail her. Nothing could stop her now.
Even In the presence of these silent wit
nesses-the horse and rider slain by the
messenger-she was able still to believe IN
his innocence. Such Is the capacity of a
weman's love. Now a new trouble con-
fronted her. Her horse refused to pass the
dead In vain she urged. coaxed and whip
ped him: he would only snort and turn
away. Nearer and nearer came the crowd
OF man-hunters behind her. At last, giving
up all hope of getting her horse beyond the
CHASTITY dead, she leaped to the ground and
continued on foot. The horse, having been
trained to follow her as faithful dog fol-
lows his master. leaped the corpse of his
brother and galloped to his mistress. 1t
required but moment for her to remount,
and when she reached the top of the mar
row canon she turned to look behind, her.

stranger, advancing. Following the fearless
example Of this man who had SO unexpect-
edly reinforced him, the messenger came
from shelter and began to advance upon
his assailants. One of the horses was hit
by bullet and became almost unmanage-
able. SO that the sheriff, finding the brunt
Of the fight upon himself, and seeing that
the messenger had confederate. was
about to retire, when badly aimed shot
from his companion shattered the ankle
Of the messenger. causing him to fall. In
an instant he rose to his knees and began
again to use his gun. The sheriff. glancing
at his companion. saw that he had been hit
in the head, for blood was streaming down
his face. The battle had gene against
them. and now the wounded sheriff and his
bleeding companion turned their horses
and galloped away.
The messenger sank to sitting posture,

About Opening Letters,
From the London Graphic.

FROM the London Graphic.
Perhaps 1t is a little bit late to make the
discovery, but find from time immemorial
We have been directing all our letters on
the wrong side. The direction ought to ne
on the back instead Of what is now called
the front of the envelope. There would be
much fewer mistakes about opening letters
belonging to others if this We're the case
IN fact, it would be well-nigh impossible for
1t to occur. People with large amount of
correspondence frequently put all their let
tiers face downward and then proceed to
snip the envelopes; then they go through
them again and take the letters out, and
sometimes find they have shipped an en-
veiope belonging to some one else. All this
might be avoided if we wrote the address
on the side the envelope is fastened. 1t
would also have another advantage, the
stamp would be absolutely Cancelled by be-
ing torn across when the letter was opened
This would effectually put an end to the
nefarious Vaccinations Of those people who
are said to be able to remove the official
obliteration in order that the stamps NAV
be used again. do not suppose nv sus.
gestion will Immediately change the uses
of century, but fancy there are not q
few Of my readers who may be inclined If
think that the idea is worth trying.

had halted in q small basin and were wait
ing for the clouds to clear away. The sher-
if insisted that he had heard a man cough.
and now the little party were sitting their
horses in silence, which was broken only
by the nervous tramping of a broncho.
What's that?" asked the sheriff, pointing
to the rock above them II should say it
was a bear setting on his launches" said

at that moment one of the horses gave a
snort, and instantly the figure of the big
messenger rose from the rock and stood out
against the dark-blue sky. Until now he
had been sitting bareheaded. and that gave
him the bunchy look of bear, but when
he stood up and clapped his bell-topped cap
upon his head, the sheriff recognized him
in an instant.
Lets drop him." said one of the men
there's thousand in 1t, and If he ever
leaves that rock. he's gone"
Hold said the sherin-"we must give
him a show to surrender"

10 note Of time. When the sun came up on
that beautiful Sundc morning 1t found the
dark man and his companions at the top
Of the range overlooking the wet mountain
valley. Before they had reached the foot
hills the sun caught the two threads of
steel that stretched away acro ss the park
and disappeared at the entrance of the
canon at the foot of the vale. All night
they had ridden single file. but now as
they entered the broad valley they bunch
ed their horses and conversed as they went
along. The dark man kept his eyes upon
a barren peak that stood at the foot Of the
valley. where the railroad track. gliding
smoothly over the mesa. seemed to tumble
into the canon as swift Niagara tumbles
over the falls. At that point the little party
expected to dismount and take the train
for the Cliff. The leader. who was able to
read both print and writing. had noticed a
paragraph in the Denver Tribune to the
effect that the new Custer County Bank
would open for business at Silver Cliff July
TO- He had been assured by his own banker
at Gunnison that the new institution would
be perfectly reliable, backed, as 1t was,
by the First National of Denver. Being a
man of good judgment he reasoned that the
Lecessary funds for the new bank would in

Seized the False Teeth.

rioui charleston News
The metropolitan specials. as is well
known, have peculiar way of raiding
places. When examinations are made to
md liquor or gambling lay-outs they go
in large punches and seize almost every
thing. The articles accumulated from
these raids would make a curiosity shop
and some Of them could be put in a mu-
scum as things OF more than ordinary in
terest. When gambling place is raided
1t Is the general belief that only the ar
tlcles used in gambling are seized This
idea is erroneous, for there is now at
the station set of false teeth taken by
CT or the specials from a King street
place. The teeth are knocking around the
staten and have not so far proved at
tractive enough for any one to claim
them. Tney will perhaps never be claimed
and in the absence of pair of Jaws they
carrot speak for themselves 1t is be-
ieved that the special who seized the
teeth was acting up to a high moral sense
or duty and thought that perhaps they
had been used in calling out feed the
Pc, which is a technical expression used
In the game Some man who visited the
place with the expectation OF losing his
money must feel that ii is very hard luck
TO lose also his teeth.
