Wheat-As predicted in our letters of
the past week, wheat is showing consid-
cradle legitimate strength and scoring
higher prices each day goes by. Il
opened strong this morning and though
attacked by the professional bears, dis
played its inherent strength by an ad-
vance of / cent.
Liverpool cables were higher and for
eigners sent on buying orders which
helped the advance The wheat il in d
condition now TO be easily damaged by
uufavorable weather and this is the time
of year when the price is easily inhu-
enced by crop scares.
The shortage of foreign countries and
the reduced supplies in our own country
render a considerable advance in the
near future an absolute certainty. Con-
sentative spectators are quietly buying
wheat and thus making an investment
which will soon bring themnin large re-
turns.

Organizing Mystic brotherhood Lodges
and Talking ResubmissiOn.
PITTsBURG, Feb 25.-Johu Hoen-
scheidt, state organizer of the Mystic
Brotherhood, is in this city looking after
the interests of the order.
Mr.. Hoenscheidt says there are eigh-
ty- five subordinate lodges in the state
with mem bership of $4,000
He said the mem ers would endeavor
to elect only such members of the legis-
lature as were known to be favorable to
resubInitting the prohibition question.
Eighty-four members will be enough.
As an illustration of what an organiza-
ton of this kind is capable of accom-
piishing Mr. Hoenscheidt referred to
the defeat of St. John in 1882. when there
were 1854 working lodges and through
their influence former majority of 5000
was overcome and Click was elected by
nearly 5000.
The o. NJ. B. has seven organizers in
the field. Mr.. Hoenscheidt is on his
way to Baxter Springs and Galena,
where he goes to perfect organizations.

New YORK, Feb. 2S.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana, Cuba,
says: General Weyler claims that
he has one of his most trust
ed officers engaged in investi
eating the reported atrocities near Punta
Bravo. He expects an Immediate report
and if the case proves to be as is alleged
he will intiict condign punishment on
the perpetrators.
Gen. Weyler seems entirely sincere in
his intention to prevent any such outrages
are reported to have happened about
Punta Bravo. Every subordinate who
violates specific orders not to ill-treat
prisoners will be punished.
The governor general feels bad over
attacks him by some American
newspapers Most Of the charg-
es against him are untrue.
This correspondent has investi-
gated, and reliable Information from
foreign residents who were in the dis
trict in which he operated in the re-
bellion goes to prove this assertion.

FORT WORTH, Tex. Feb. 28.-Under a
February date United States Minister
Terrell writes from Constantinople to his
brother, ]. c. Terrell, of this city,
as follows: "England has played
her cards badly; all the massacres could
have been avoided had her policy been
different. Besides this, the American
press and American congress in abusing
the sultan and porte will destroy my in
fluence; and then the poor mis-
sionaries whom l have now protected
from the Black to theCaspian sea are con-
tinuously writing back home abusing the
sultan and porte, and their friends in
the United States have the letters pub
lished and the papers containing them
are sent to the government here immedi-
ately. How can l any longer protect
such people? If the Russian alliance is
formed then the worst will soon be at
hand.
81 think l will be able to start for
home in April and when see you will

BURNED TO DEATH.
Kerosene Failing Over a Child Becomes
Ignited.

FORT SCOTT, Feb. 2s.-A little 3.year-
old son of Mrs. Maggie Scott met a
singular and horrible fate at seven
o'clock last night. The glass bowl of a
kerosene lamp, which was sitting lighted
on a parlor stand, began to leak, and
Mrs. Scott picked it up to carry it from
the room.
The child stood near her, and as she
raised the lamp over his head the bottom
fell from the bowl, precipitating the oil
on the child's clothing and body. In her
frig hit the mother dropped the lamp and
the child's saturated clothing was ignit-
ed by the wick blaze. In an instant it
was a mass of flames. The mother
threw a blanket over the child, but it
was horribly burned, and died moment
later. 1t was burned from its feet to its
head.

A Man Advertises for Wife, Gets One
and Is Sorry.
Dies MONIES, Nov ga man named
Mains, who advertised for a wife and
finally got one, has hired about fifteen
lawyers, with whom he is working to
secure his wife's agreement to articles
of separation. The woman is now re-
siding at her home before she was
married. She remained at the home
of Mains, out near Menlo, but one
night. They rode thither the night of
the wedding in driving rain They
were soaked to the skin, but there
was nofuel for a fire. And during the
evening Mains drew out of his pocket
dagger, she says, a dagger a foot
long with silver handle and which
ne remarked as he drew it across his
hand lovingly was sharp as razor
Finally he returned it to his pocket,
after talking to it some time in low
and indistinguishable voice. This is
the story told by Mrs. Mains. She
also says Mains told her that night
that his former wife got up in the
night time and climbed TO the top OF q
windmill in the yard and fell off the
top, killing her. All these horrors re-
suited in the prostration by fright OF
Mrs. Mains, who returned to her
former home as fast as she could, and
now articles of separation are said TO
be ready for signing.

The Apple Crop.

New YORK, Nov. :. Throughout the
states OF the chief commercial produc-
lion, including New England and New
York, the crop of winter apples is
large. according to the report in the
England Homestead, which places the
aggregate yield at a shade under
$1,000, 900 barrels for all the United
States, against 6o.ooo,o0o in 1895.
This authority says the crop in New
England, New York, Michigan and
parts Of few other states is phenom-
email. The report covering the central
west, however, shows that in many
instances the crop is insufficient to
supply home requirements. Exports
from the Atlantic coast are already
100000 barrels, Il third more than for
all of last season.
