CHICAGO, March 6-Wheat opened
steady at the put price, May 66M. Ca
bles were unsatisfactory and northwest
receipts were heavy. Reports of more
or less serious damage to wheat due to
the unfavorable weather are plentiful,
but the trading, which has been extreme
Iy narrow all week, showed no signs of
i'm provement and but little attention was
paid to them, May gradually selling off
TO 6615c.
Corn at the opening was rather firm
and shade higher, May being quoted
at 303Sc, the strength being due to con-
siderably smaller receipts than expected.
As wheat went down corn followed and
declined to 304c.
Oats opened dull and unchanged, May
21@21H, and held steady at that figure.
Provisions opened weak and lower,
due to the unexpectedly large run of
hogs
May pork opened ~ cents lower, at
SO. 80, declining to 50. 7215.
May lard quoted 21ac lower at
S5.421S@545, and eassd OF to $40.

Say the Weather Prophets Just as if
1t Wasn't Cold Enough.
As the weather men predicted the
weather turned somewhat colder last
night and today the air is quite chilly.
Although the sun appeared on
the scene early, slight cloudi-
ness exists. The weather men say
that we will have fair weather today and
tomorrow, but that it will be much
colder.
Along the lines of the Santa Fe in
eastern Kansas today the weather is
reported to be similar to that expe-
rienced in Topeka. In other portions
of Kansas generally clear and cool
weather is reported. Along all lines of
the Rock Island clear and cool weather

Troy. March 6.-John Devereux pro-
poses to plant forty acres In sassafras
this spring.
The philanthropy of Mr.. Devereux's
idea can be better understood when it ia
known that he proposes to build large
factory and use the sassafras leaves in
the manufacture of cigarettes, which will
act as an antidote for the tobacco ciga-
rettes which are the ruin of so many
young men. Devereux will build fac
tory much larger than will be necessary
to use up the product of his own ground,
and will be glad to explain his scheme
to all who are interested; and it is ex-
pected that quite number of others will
plant sassafras for the same purpose.

Fish Commissionsr Sadd1er at Work
Stocking Streams. -
FLORENCE. March 6-Mr. Sadler,
state fish commissioned has just stocked
the Florence dam on the Cottonwood
with forty large croppie. That doesn't
sound very big, does it, but next year
the spawn of those croppie will increase
to 100000 fish. Five years ago the gov
ernment gave Butler county 200 small
croppie to stock the Walnut with. To-
day the stream is full Of croppie. The
appropriation is only 5000
A state hatchery would not cost over
$4,000 or $4,000, and if the fish regula-
tions are to be kept up it would soon pay
for itself. As it is, fish cannot be gotten
to the western counties at all and of
course there is a kick from them.
