An effort will be made at Philadel- rllia soon to have the marble bust of Thomas Paine, which was rejected
 twenty years ago on account of Paine's religious views, accepted by the City Councils and placed in Independence Hall. In 1876 a number of prominent citizens throughout the country con- fributed to a fund for having the bust made and presented to the city of Phil adelphia. The work was executed in marble by Sydney H. Morse of Boston, hut to the surprise of every one, the city refused to accept it. The action created wide discussion at the time, such men as the Rev. Dr. Edward Ey-

A queer strike is threatened in Eng land. The government inspectors of factories, being dissatisfied with the way they are treated, have formulated their complaints and declare that un- less they are needed "a public protest will be made and a cessation of their duties will follow" They complain of too little salary and too hard work, of not having power enough over the fac- tory employees, of having their reports to the chief inspectors ignored and not published as they are sent in.

The anti-cigarette law, which United States Circuit Judge Walter Sanborn has just declared unconstitutional, went into effect last January. It pro- hibited absolutely the manufacture or sale of cigarettes in the State or their Importation into the State. A man named McGregor, of Cedar Rapids, was put on trial for violating the law His lawyer quoted the decision of the Su- preme court of the United States in the famous prohibition case that went up from the same State some years ago after the prohibition law was enacted there. That decision was to the effect that, the federal constitution having delegated to congress the power to reg ulate commerce between the several States. the legislature had no power to prohibit the importation of liquors into the State or their sale in the original packages by the importer. Judge San born followed the decision of the Su- preme court and granted the writ.

 Lively politics in Kansas this year. For instance, it is recorded that Chair man Toothaker, who presided over a Democratic convention at Lawrence, Kansas, was dragged around the hall, his vest torn off, his coat made into shreds and his shirt in strings. He was battered in face and body and wounded in limb, his suspenders were broken and with the boys" acted as chairman of his side of the house, and when his con- yention adjourned was carried in tri- umph through the streets on the table upon which he stood, or laid, while acting as chairman.

 The gentlemen began to purchase wheat last August Wheat was then 55 cents a bushel. It went down several points, but still they bought. The market started to go up and they kept on buying. On September 8, December wheat was 59A cents. Yesterday it closed at 7SA cents and trades and trades were made on the curb at 79A cents. It will. there fore, be seen that the men who held wheat bought in August made over 20 cents bushel on it. One speculator is known to have cleared over $100,000 during the past week. The advance in wheat was steady, up from day to day. During the past week it advanced over cents. As an in- dication of the buying activity the mar ket reports show that about 100000 bushels in futures were bought yester- day. Another indication of the centraliza- ition of wheat in this city is that at pres ent there are about 3,5OO,0O0 bushels of wheat in the St. Louis public elevators. This time last year there were less than 100000 bushels on hand. MT. William T. Haarstick is said to be the kingpin among those who have rolled up for tune in wheat. MT. Haarstick is vice president of the Mississippi Valley Trust company, and has been the heaviest pur- chaser of wheat in the local market MT. B. s. Barnes, who is said to have been member of the old Sketch club, is also placed among the coterie of fortunates. MT. c. H. Spencer president of the Mer- chants Exchange; Thomas Aiken, John T. Milliken and Thomas Francis, and the D. R. Francis Commission company, are also known to have made big money. The above named gentlemen are nearly all the big guns in the recent deals. Besides them there are quite a number of we'll known commission men whose bank &C., counts have been doubled during the past months.

MADE FORTUNES IN WHEAT. St. Louis Investors Who Got in at the Right

Globe-Democrat.
 Several St. Louisans have already made fortunes on the rise in wheat. One man is said to have made $200, ,000 several oth- CTS have realized from $50,000 to $100,000 and quite a number of smaller investors have secured handsome profits. The mon ey was not made by sudden reckless plunge, but was the result of a meeting held several weeks ago by few of the largest commission men of St. Louis, who are acknowledged to be the brainiest among their set. The meeting was in- formal. The gentlemen talked over the condition of the wheat market. They fig ured out that wheat was bound to go up. All Europe was buying wheat. Liverpool was taking all she could lay hands on, India was calling for wheat, and the smallness of the Russian crop, due to a miscalculation of 1000 900 bushels, was forcing @ demand from that quarter: Ship load after ship load of the foodstuff was being engaged from the seaboards. The gentlemen made up their minds to buy Wheat was 55 cents bushel then. They bought right and left. They purcha sed the wheat as an investment, and not as a speculation. to be sold at a rise of point or two. In their movements they greatly

 The Choctaw Alliance gives the follow ing particulars of triple killing which took place in that county on the night of October 16
 Friday night last, on what is known as the Quinn plantation, situated on the Big bee river twelve or fifteen miles south of here, three colored men. or two men and one boy, were shot and killed near cot ton house by unknown parties. The shoot ing was heard by several; some say three, some four and some seven reports of guns were heard that night about 10 or Il o'clock. No alarm was raised, and conse- quently no one suspected any foul play. The names of the unfortunate men are: Willis Lott Zack Lott, son of Willis, and Tyler West, and 1t is supposed that they were in the act of stealing, or had stolen some cotton, as a sackful lay by one of them when found the next day about 10 o'clock by an old colored woman.

Miss Meta Martin, a young German
woman. who has been in this country
but a year, entered Police Headquarters
this morning and asked for a warrant
for the arrest of Charles Engel, a young
German, who, until recently, was en-
pIoyed as a steward on the steamship
Werra Of the Bremen line. Miss Mar
tin is stopping with friends on River
street.
h met Engel on the vessel en- route
to this country and he made ardent love
to her. When the ship arrived he se-
cured apartments for her in this city
and effected her ruin. According to the
young woman's story, Engel promised to
marry her and has put the marriage off
from one time to another under the pre-
text that he was in need of money.
Last night Miss Martin heard that En-
gel was to be married tonight TO a
corder McDenough refused to issue a
warrant unless Miss Martin could locate
the man. She left Headquarters deter

NEW B. & L. FEATURES.
Insurance Policies VIII he Granted
10 Members of Associations.

TO Members of Associations.
A new departure in the line of Building
and Loan Associations has been lnaltgur-
ated in this State, with a headquarters
at Camden. 1t is a Building and Loan
Association, with the privileges Of a life
insurance attached. The company is
known as the Building and Loan Life
Association. Messrs. c. M
Prior and j. P. Landrine are the repre-
sentatives Of the association in this city.
The idea of the association is to assist
people who are interested in building and
loan associations to have their lives in
sured at a low cost. The idea originated
with building and loan men to have the.
building and loan life insurance for the
purpose of protecting those who nave
mortgages on their property, so that IN
case of their death the mortgage would
be paid. It will also enable those holding
shares to procure a loan at a much
lower figure with the life insurance as
a collateral. The capital stock of the
company amounts to $4,000
The Board of Directors will consist of
fifty members, from various parts of the
State. This Board will have the first OPP
ton upon the 5000 shares at $40 per
share.
h new association will be open for
business after July 6.
