France was turning out very unfavorably,
that the prospects in Hungary were fora small
wheat crop of poor quality, and i'll Austria
for crop below the average. Some of the
recent export demand has represented wheat
to be shipped to Mediterranean and Adriatlc
ports. to which no wheat from this country
has gone except for seed since 1880. PROM
nent among these ports are Trieste and Ven
ice, ports usually supplied by Russia.

BUFFALO BILL.

Col. VIM. Cody. who is known
all over the country as Buffalo
Bill" proprietor of the Wild West
show, and of splendid ranch near
North Platte, Nebraska, has recent
ly, by difficulty with one Fred

English journalism. The London

"Col. Cody, who will be remem-
bered in London, has been return
ed Mayor of Nebraska. No better
selection could have been made.
Col. Cody was the friend OF man
named Boone who discovered Ken

the grandfather of a distinguish
ed old gentleman known as Sitting
Bull Frog. Cody was twice elected
governor OF Chicago, and at one
time was mayor of the Arkansas
legislature. He also served under
Ben Butler, who so gallantly de-
Tended New Orleans. The pro-
vince of Detroit rewarded him for
his military services by sending
him to congress, where he intro
duced bill for the relief of the
citizens of Buffalo. 1t was in this
that he got his name of Buffalo
Bill While Mr.. Cody has a
ranch in st. Louis, he finds time
or literature and writes for the
Atlantic Monthly, a newspaper
edited by Mark Twain and Uncle
Thomas Cabin, gentleman made
amous by his negro dialect
ketches."

A man out iu Kansas mortgaged
his farm to buy his wife a pair of
diamond earrings. The wife took
in washing to pay the interest on
the mortgage, but the first job she
did she lost one of the sparklers in
the suds, and tried to hang herself
in the barn, but the rope broke
and she fell on a Jersey COW worth
$3.50, breaking her back. Her hus-
band then undertook to shoot the
COW to end its misery, but the gun
burst and destroyed his eyes, and
his wife ran away with a lightning
rod peddler. The mortgage is the
only thing that is left intact.

The following clipping from the
Boston Journal will no doubt be of
interest to our readers:
Paris, France "There were 400
delegates present today at the an
nual meeting of the National BIZ
metallic League. Deputy Fougeir.
ol presided. NJ. Thery, Secretary
OF the league, read the report. 1t
set forth that the leading event of
the year was the election of Presi-
dent Mckinley, which, the report
added, gave great satisfaction to BIZ
metallists. The report referred to
the necessity of bringing the move
ment to a definite issue before
President McKinley's term of Of
flee expires. The French Govern
mept had done excellent work,
which the international negotiations
would reveal. The Government
persevered in seeking the co-opera
tion OF Great Britain, because the
latter's participation would disarm
the worst opponents and give in
ternational bimetallism a perma-
nent and solid basis.
The report added
"The English horizon is less
dark than asserted. The presence
of the American delegates in Paris
may greatly hasten solution of the
question. France and America
sould easily come to an agreement
# England was inclined to seri-
ous effort in favor of silver, and
Germany would follow her exam
ole."
An elaborate banquet was given
o the delegates at the Hotel Conti-
rental this evening. Senator VOL
oft, former Vice President Steven
on and Gen. Charles Jackson
'aine, the American Commission
RS, occupied the seats of honor.
Among other guests were NJ.
feline, the Premier; former Pre-
leir Ribot, Senator Emile Loubet,
resident of the Senate, and Sena-
'r Magnin, Director of the Bank of
rance.
Deputy Fougeirol, who presided
the annual meeting now spoke
opefully of the prospects of the
ovement.
Premier Meline dwelt at some
myth upon the inconvenience
used by fluctuations in exchange
ID the Importance of SOLVING this
oblem.
NJ. Thery read large number OF
egrams OF congratulations fron-l
'eign bimetallio leagues.
None of the American Commisz-
ners spoke.

Col. Coats the commandant of
the Boise Barracks sent a special
invitation for the veterans to visit
the barracks, and he arranged a
special drill for the veterans, that
carried them back to the days that
as the Colonel put it, when the
crack of rife was an intimation
of danger. Both infantry and cav
airy gave splendid exhibition.
The Shoshone delegation, by
special invitation, inspected the
quarters OF the men, just at meal
time. At Colonel Coats quarters
he showed US Col. Ellworths cap
and a part of the rebel flag that
he lost his life in capturing, he al
SO read us letters written by the
Colonel just before the war.
