Formally Dedicated

The dedication services of the Chi
cago Avenue Baptist church were held
yesterday afternoon. The handsome
new church at the corner of Chicago
avenue and Thirty second street was
tlled to the doors when the services
opened. Rev, Herman Randell, pastor
OF the church, presided. The services
were opened by an anthem re Deum
in B fat sung by the choir. A very
ferVent prayer was made by Rev. E.
l.. Pope, and then DR.. 0. A. Williams
the state missionary, made an address
on The Mission of the Church." which
he held to be the seeking and saving
of men. He also thought the church
should be a school where men and
women should be trained TO go out
into the world to preach the gospel of
Christ. There were many men of the
IngerSoll type, continued DR.. Williams
who held the church up to ridicule,
but he would contend that the church.
with all its shortcomings was a power
for goOd,and among it's members would
be found the highest type of citizen
ship.
Rev H F. Stillwen, pastor of Cal
vary Baptist church, was the next
speaker. His text was The Meeting
House in the Community" Mr.. Still
we'll said the meeting house was a
place of business where Gods work in
the community was done. He held
that the church should advertise, so
the community would know what work
it had to do.
The church has come to the time
when it should say to the community,
that it is an institution for the saw
ing of men. of the souls Of men, of the
intellects of men. The meeting house
should be attractive, and should have
all the comforts that are to be found in
homes.
Rev. w. w. Dawley of Central Bap-
ist church, was the last speaker, his
text being Now Begin Mr.. Dawley
congratulated the members of the
church upon their good luck so far
He said they had lovely locality, and
powerful preacher, and were sur
rounded by saints and sinners In or
der to accomplish any good they must
get down in touch with the men and
women they wanted to save. A col
lection was taken up to help pay off
the Indebtedness of the church, and a
good sum was raised

BULLIsH FOR WHEAT.



I'm the Pit.
CHICAGO, Sept 20.-The Times
Herald in its review and forecast of
the wheat market will say tomorrow:
The wheat advance begun fort
night ago was continued last week,
about &c being added to the price, MAX
ing almost sc since September 8. The
motives which started the rally were
strength abroad and large cash sales
on this side. Liverpool continued to
lead each rally and It's speculative act
ivity was supplemented by an increase
in it's spot purchases. On Wednesday
it was estimated the Englishmen ac-
cepted offers for not. less than 100000
bu American wheat, and the business
from that day until the close of the
week was limited only by the tinid Of
ferings from this side. Clearances for
the week were up almost to the unus-
ual total Of the previous week. The
urgency of the demand for ocean tom
mage put the rate to Az pence against
~ pence early in the summer, but the
marking up of the freight seemed only
to slightly check the shipping business.
Some of these circumstances, which
appeared at the opening of the month
so unfavOrably to any bull success,
disappeared last week.
The anxiety about the financial situa
ton, particularly about the money
market in the West, was, appreciably
lessened by the slow Strengthening out
Of some of the bad stock exchange
deals at Chicago. The Northwest de-
cIared money getting easier up there.
While the spring wheat arrivals at
Minneapolis and Duluth did not show
much falling off, they did show some
compared with last wear, and the news
from the country stations was that
with the slight Improvement in the
money situation thsz1marketing was
falling off. esos c.t 1ayia e.-Ai .
Professionals have rbeen very much
puzzled by the advanced The unfavor-
able Chicago money situation made
outset of the rally.1 Last week, how
ever they became friendly to~the long
side and were so up1to Friday.
On Saturday the talent was almost
unanimous in expecting reaction.
There was evidentlytea party at Liver
pool which was tryingI for the same
thing. the private 3cables- furnishing
proof of 1t, and there being additional
proof of the selling orders which came
from there Linn still7 continues the
staunchest of the fIbulls, telling his
friends the rally has only begun. Gu
daily is supposed to be of the same
mind, although he is out Of town and
apparently not active in the market.
The Stoner party, made up of a half
dozen of the sharpest Of the pit scalp
ers, has been bulIish all the week.
New York has been divided in senti-
ment ST. Louis has been bullish
There has hardly been any bear party
of late, one reason why the bulls them
selves have been timid. They have felt
the absence of short interest, and have
feared the market could not be kept
going by the cash demand alone.

TOOK PARIS GREEN.
Fred Gustafson, Milk Vendor,
Tires of Life.

Fred Gustafson, farm hand, work
Ing for A. G.. Carlson, who runs a dairy
farm at Chicago avenue and Fifty
third street, died late Saturday night
from a dose of Paris green that had
been taken with suicidal intent Friday
night.
Gustafson had been working for
Carlson off and on for the last three
years. Otherwise he had followed his
trade, which was that of a plasterer
The Carlsons were seen yesterday af-
ternoon, burt could give no reason for
the deed. Mr.. Carlson stated that Gus
tafson, who was 80 years of age and
single, was a man who was Of a pecu-
liarly jovial temperament. Of late, he
has, however, not been in his usual
spirits Friday evening he seemed un-
usually happy, and talked and laughed
as he had not done for some time
Upon going to bed he had, undoubtedly,
taken the fatal dose.
The next day he was very sick and
held his bed, having severe cramps
He made no statement to the family
of what he had done. MRS. Carlson
noticed that he had coughed up some
matter that had a peculiar color, and
brought her husbands attention to it.
Upon closer examination, they discov-
red that the matter contained the poi
son.

but would say nothing. It was sug-
gested that his sister. Mrs. J. Hakon-
son, residing at 203 Cedar avenue, be
called; also that the services Of a ply
sician be summoned. He most strenu-
ous1y protested against both sugges-
items. As 1t was clear that he was in
a dying condition, the CarlSons did
not feel justified in letting the man
have his own way, so both were sent
for. When his sister came and tried to
talk to him, he refused to answer her,
simply telling her to go home To- Dr. F.
A. Knight, who was summoned, and
who asked him what was the mater,
he made the short statement that II
was his own fault
DR.. Knight Immediately saw that his
case was hopeless, but did what he
could to alleviate his great agonies. but
twentyfour hours after taking the poi
son he died. The coroner was sum-
moned yesterday morning and the body
removed to the morgue. A post NOR
tenn examination was held yesterday
afternoon, with the result that 1t was
decided that he came to his death as
above stated. The body will be turned
over to his brother-in-law, J. Hakon-
son. for burial.
Mrs. Hakonson, seen about the af-
fair, could give no reason for the act,
except that he had never been in the
best of health since coming to this
country, which he did about eight
years ago. Another cause may have
something to do with it, namely. thar
a civil action was about to be brought
against him by a bicyclist, into whom
he had run while on the milk route one
day. This occurred three weeks ago.
A week ago Saturday his employer
was garnisheed for the amount OF
$41.5O. Gustafson had retained an al
toreny in the case; but the action was
still pending at the time of his death.

SUICIDE,
NO REASON FOR THE DEED.

DUTIES WE'RE PERFORMED
IN HONEST MANNER.
MmKMAN TAKES PARIS GREEN
and n Threatened Lawsuit
the Cause.

Thomas It. Curtiss, messenger of the
Washington bank, came to his death
yesterday afternoon by a bullet shot
inflicted by his own hand
The deed was committed in the bank
about o'clock in the afternoon, al
though the body was not found until
after o'clock. when he was found by
Melis Engley, one of the employees Of
the building. He was sitting in very
natural position, and Engley did not
at first notice anything peculiar about
him. But. as he sat so quiet for long
time, he walked up to him and ad-
dressed him, when he noticed the
blood trickling down his neck The
herroreof the situation Immediately
dawned upon the discoverer, and the
authorities We're Immediately notified
and the body removed to the morgue.
The revolver was in his hand when
discovered, and the bullet, which was
32-caliber, had been fired back Of the
right ear. Death must have resulted
instantaneously.
Mr.. Curtiss resided at 1889 Crystal
Lake avenue, where he has wife and
daughter. He Is fifty-three years old,
and no other cause can be attributed
to the action than that he has, of late
been subjected to i'll health. The duties
of the bank We're always performed
in an honest and conscientious manner,
and no discrepancies are attributed
to him. He has been an employe
of the bank for some years, and was
trusted by his employers, and well
liked by his fellow workers.
Guests at the ST. James hotel heard
the shot about o'clock, but did not
think anything particular about it.
as they were not sure that it was a
pistol shot, but when they, early in the
evening heard Of the suicide, they in
stantly recollected the occurrence.
The body was viewed by the coroner,
who stated that no inquest would be
necessary.
