urday at 70 cents. It was an average
scent jump to begin the furore with,
and Its startling suddenness on it came
IKE bomb in the pit. Eighty-cent
wheat was missed by quarter Of a
cent only, the top notch of the sensa-
tional session being 79A.
But the market was not all upwards
1t oscillated between Saturdays closing
price and the top reacted to 1914, then
went up to 1884, and flasht all around
this point with a bewildering assort-
ment of changes. The December future
bore toward the close the last official
price being 7734, but that was half
cent above Saturdays close.
Before the commotion in the pit be-
gan the English cables posted on
change told the feverish crowd that
more wheat was wanted by the United
Kingdom. Liverpool, Paris and Berlin
contributed their share of bull news,
and excited the crowd to the pitch Of a
Scent raise at the opening. Trading
on both sides of the market realized
that it was not a local one which was
shown by the prices remaining firm IN
the face of heavy selling of long lines by
holders to get the profit
A feature of the day was that every
body was making money. Paying busi-
ness came to the brokers from Tacoma
to New Brunswick. P. d. Armour was
heavy buyer, and there was a report
that John Cudahy sold big lots of his
wheat holdings. but it was not supposed
that he sold all of his long list. The
boisterous opening of the Minneapolis
market, where the opening price was
almost cents above the closing of Sat
urday, was taken as evidence of the
strength of the Northwestern market.
Strong as the demand was locally,
wheat could only be got when men
were found who We're wiling 20 let go
and be satisfied with their profits. For
tunes were made in an hour.

MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS
Which May Cut Big Figure in the
Election in Nebraska.

LINCOLN CNeb), Oct. 19.-The Free
Silver Democrats and Populists of Ne
braska had their inning to-day, when
they arranged to begin mandamus
proceedings in the Supreme Court to
undo the decision Of Secretary of State
Piper on Saturday, allowing the So
called Sound Money Democrats to go on
the official ballot as Democrats. The
Judges of the court decided this even
ing to allow the action to be begun, and
argument will be made this week. On
the courts decision probably hinges the
electoral vote of Nebraska. The case
not only involves the Palmer and Buck
ner ticket, the Sound Money Democratic
State nominees, but four Congressional
nominees named by that faction of the
party.

Bad Mistake Six FootpadS Made at Chicago
Yesterday Morning.
One Shot and Three of Them Now
Behind the Bars.
The Whole Business Portion of the
Town of AthOl, massachusetts,,
Destroyed by Fire-Twelve Firms
Burned Out, Including Great
Amount of Lumber.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia bold attempt
at robbery was made early this morn
irg, and that it was unsuccessful was
due entirely to the fact that the man
who was selected for the victim refused
to occupy that position. In fact he so
completely reversed the intended pro-
gramme that while he escaped unin-
jured himself, one of the Would-be rob-
bers is in the hospital and three others
are in the City Prison.
Last night the Polish Society gave a
Ounce. The attendance was large and
the Treasurer, Michael MahanGk. had
$500 on hand before the night was over.
The dance kept up until an early
hour this morning. Then Mahanuk
gathered the proceeds together and
started for home, accompanied by a
friend, George MauroWski. The two
men had gone but a comparatively
short distance when they We're sur
rounded by six men, who had been con-
cealed in the deep shadow at a street
corner.
The order was at once given for the
two men to throw up their hands and
the order was accompanied with a
threat Of death if they did not at once
comply.
Mahanuk, however, proved not to be
made of yielding material When he
raised his hands one of them contained
revolver, with which he opened fire on
the footpads.
His first shot was effective. He hit
Cre of the robbers in the groin, and
with cry of pain the man fell to the
ground. The five other men were
frightened by the reception they got,
and fled down the street, Mahanuk fir
ing a shot in the air to hurry their
flight
The pistol shots attracted the atten-
ton of the police in the neighborhood,
and they We're on the scene quickly
enough to pursue the fleeing men.
Three of them were caught and lodged
in jail. The two others succeeded in es-
Gaping.

from both sides by receiving a letter
from the Mckinley and Hobart Club
of Pennsylvania City. stating that
there were great moral questions in
this campaign in which the clergy could
be of great service. He was forced to
the conviction that the universa, hard
times were caused by the demonetiza-
ton of silver, and that prosperity to ali
would only come with it's remonetiza-
ton. Money was the first thing and

THE PROPER TIME

When the most benefit is to be derived
from a good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the
tired body, weakened organs and nerv-
Gus system yearn for a building-up
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring weather
and, in fact, delay giving attention to
their physical condition so long that a
long siege of sickness is inevitable.
To rid the system of the impurities &C
cumulated during the winter season,
to purify the blood and to invigorate
the whole system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don't
put it off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla
now. 1t will do you good. Read the
testimonials published in behalf of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, all form reliable,
grateful people. They tell the story.

Spirited Meeting Last Night.

Spirited Meeting Last Night.
The Hawaiian Protective Asso-
citation met in the headquarters of
the American League last night for
the purpose of making final
arrangements for permanent or
ganization. There were over 125
present. J. L. Carter was made
temporary chairman and stated
the object of the association. In
doing this he emphasized specially
the fact that the association did not
propose to antagonize the planta-
tons for one moment. The object
was simply to protect the building
trades from the onslaughts of the
Asiatics, who were fast becoming a
controlling body in the commu-
nifty. The recent formation of a
Chinese lumber and building assoc
citation was pointed out as a
menace, in that it aimed to control
all the building in the city.
In the election for officers, J. L..
Carter was elected chairman and
A. Clark secretary.
The following committees were
appointed: Constitution and by
laws, Messrs. Phillips, Clarke, Don
nelly, Burkett and Ferrel; hall,
Messrs. Clark, Ferrel and Wagner.
At the close of the meeting over
twenty-five men signed their names
to the membership roll.
