CHICAGO aIARKEr LETTER

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex-
change. $40 Kansas Avenue.
Wheat-There was very firm opening
this morning at an advance of 5sc over
night, but yesterdays sudden break of
cent in the face Of sensationally strong
news had an effect to make timid holders
take profits that are in sight.
The Price Current was construed as
rather bearish, but discounted such news
by stating that holders were not inclined
10 dispose of what little grain they had
left.
Good export and cash business is re-
ported and it looks as if 200,000 bushels
has been worked here today, and twenty
loads taken at New York, since the
market closed.
The situation is very bullish, but local
talent rather bearish and have been ham
mering the market all day. They will
no doubt have a chance to buy it back
again tomorrow at advanced figures.
We are friendly to the long side and
feel confident that if bought at present
prices and protected with fair margin,
and patience will reward handsomely.
Corn and oats quiet but firm, no new
features except light receipts.
Provisions are gaining strength and
pork looks like a good purchase.

TACOMA'S MYSTERY.

A Former Topeka Girl. Grace Good.
rich, Now Mrs. Cody, Disappears.
The Topeka friends of Mrs. A. B. Cody.
of Chicago. formerly Miss Grace Good
rich. of Topeka, will be much grieved to
learn of the mysterious disappearance of
Mrs. Cody from Tacoma, Washington,
where she was visiting her parents
The following Associated Press dis.
patches tell the story of Mrs. Cody's dis
appearance or as much of it as is known
at this time:
TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 3.-The police
are engaged iH a search for Mrs. A. B.
Cody, wife of a prominent Chicago
lawyer. who mysteriously disappeared
Friday night. She drove in Friday from
the residence of her father, south of Ia
coma, tied her horse in the center of the
business part of the city and few min
utes afterwards disappeared.
TACOMA, Wn., Feb 3.-The police have
reached the conclusion that Mrs. A. B.
Cody of Chicago has committed suicide
They have searched for her all day
in vain. Today her parents dis
covered a note, which she had left,
stating that she intended 10 end her
life. The police also learned today that
she bought a revolver Friday afternoon,
and that she trembled as she paid for
the weapon and asked TO have it loaded.
It is feared she went to the woods on the
outskirts of the city and there ended her
life. If this theory prove correct she
must have become mentally unbalanced,
through suffering from nervous prostra-
ton. So far as can be learned her do
nestle life was entirely happy.
A conductor of the Stellacoom subur-
ban line saws a woman answering her
description rode with him Friday or
Saturday. If it was she a long search in
the woods will probably be necessary to
locate her. large number of men
have continued the search today. Her
friends declare she would not drown
herself, being afraid of the water.
Mrs. Cody or Miss Goodrich. as she
was known in Topeka, lived here many
years and was educated in the Topeka
public schools.
Her father and brothers kept a gro
Gerry store at the corner of Eighth street
and Topeka avenue. The firm was known
as P. A. Goodrich s Sons.
About eight years ago Miss Goodrich
married Mr. A. B. Cody Chicago law
yer, and went to that city to live. few
years afterwards her parents and broth
ers removed from Topeka to Tacoma
W sh ngton, where she has now been
visiting them.
Last summer Mrs Cody visited in To-
peka with her intimate friend, Mrs
Harry Seery.
This morning Mrs. Seery received
telegram from Mr.. Goodrich, Mrs. Cody's
father, which reads: "Grace has not been
found yet"
Mrs Cody is the mother of three chill
dren.

FACT OR LEGEND2
Queer Story About the Way In Which
'Leonanie" Was Written.

Queer Story About the Way in Which
"LeOnanie'' Was Written.
In the house of a gentleman in this
city we recently saw a poem written on
the f1yleaf of an old book, says the
Kokomo Qnd) Dispatch. Noticing the
initials, ''E. A P" at the bottom, it
struck US that possibly we had run
across a bonanza. The owner of the
book said that he did not know who was
the author of the poem. His grand
father, who gave him the book kept an
inn in Chesterfield, near Richmond, Va
One night young man raped at the
door and asked if he could stay all night
and was shown to a room. That was
the last they saw of him. When they
went next morning to call him to break
fast he had gone but had left the book,
on the f1yleaf of which had been writ
+ ten these verses:
LEONANIE.
Leonanie-angels named her
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed her
In suit of white;
And they made her hair of gloomy
Midnight and her eyes of glowing
Moonshine and they brought her
to me
In the silent night.
In a solemn night of summer
When my heart of gloom
Blossomed up to greet the conner
Like a rose in bloom;
All forebodings that distressed me
I forgot as joy caressed me,
Lying joy that caught and pressed
me
In 10 arms Of d0OD1
Only spake the little lisper
In the angels tongue,
Yet listening, heard her whisper:
Songs are only sung
Here below, that they may grieve
Tales are told you to deceive you
So must Leonanie leave you,
While her love is young"
Then God smiled, and it was morning
Matchless and supreme,
Heavens glory seemed adjoining
Earth with its esteem;
Every heart but mine seemed gifted
With the voice of prayer and lifted
Where my Leonanie drifted
From me like a dream.
