There are many farms bearing old

after the ground has frozen and before

be used, even If there Is no snow, when
the site of the new fence is to be some

If the ground should be too much froz-

will be found a great advantage when
the building time comes. The sorting

stakes or preparing posts and saving
up the done" fence timber into fire
wood, can all be finished in the slack
season, and the putting up of the fence
will be as nothing in the spring before
seeding operations commence, when
the ground will be SO soft that the
stakes can all be driven with a sledge

Among the many good people resid-

Water in Wood.

1t has commonly been estimated that
green wood, when cut down, contains
about As per cent of its weight in mois-
trre. but in the forests of central Eu-
rope wood cut down in winter is said to
hold more than 40 per cent of water at
the end of the following summer. Kept
for several years in a dry place, wood
retains from Is to 20 per cent of water,
while that which has been thoroughly
desiccated will, when exposed to air
under ordinary circumstances, absorb
8 per cent OF water in the first three
days, and Will continue to absorb it I'M
til it reaches from II to 10 per cent as
a normal standard-the amount fiuctu-
ating above and below this standard
according to the state of the atmos-
phere. 1t has been found that, by ex-
posing green wood to a temperature of
2l2 degrees, r., the loss of weight equal
ed As per cent; and, further, on expos
ing small prisms of wood one-half inch
square and eight inches long, cut out

MAN OF MANY GRIMES.

From Many Cities


Chicago, Jan. 7.-"Count" Guigle-
mo j. de Custer, alias Dr. Juster, alias
DIR. f. S. Rhodes, said to be Rou-
manian of excellent family, and who
processes TO be studying dentistry in
America, has been arrested in this city.
He is said to be wanted for several
offenses in Buffalo, N. Y, New York
city, Brooklyn, Boston, Leadville and
Denver.
Wife abandonment, embezzlement,
forgery, swindling, bigamy and obtain
ing money under false pretenses are
some of the charges for which he is
wanted in various parts of the country,
and it is believed he has obtained in
all about $1,000 by his alleged ille-
gal methods since he came to America,
three years ago.
He is a young man, dressed in the
height of fashion and stopped at the
best hotels in the American cities he
has visited. In Brooklyn he married
the daughter of prominent jeweler
and deserted her August 81 last and
went West. At Leadville he is
charged with swindling citizen out
of house and lot. He is also charged
with forgery. Going from there to
Denver he continued his fraudulent
methods. Soon after his departure for
this city Chief of Police Russell, of
Denver, learned of the former swindles
he had perpetrated, and sent his descrip-
tion to the police of this city. Here,
while in dire distress, after having
been elected from two big hotels for
non-payment of bills, he met Belle
Cults, who, the police say, is an adj

soon followed. He will be turned
over to the Brooklyn authorities as
soon as an officer arrives, and viii be
prosecuted there, it is said, on the
charge of wife abandonment.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Downing. Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

The wheat market has every indica-
ton of an upward tendency. 1t hard
ened steadily last week in the face of
bank failures, and was only affected by
them temporarily. A good percentage
Of the traders were afraid to go into
the market, owing to the unsettled con
dition Of finances in Chicago last week
Local influences, however, are only of
a transient character, the market be-
ing governed more by foreign advices,
and also by the great strength of the
/ domestic situation, which overshadows
almost everything in the way of local
bearish factors. Had the market been
a local one prices would have gone low
er, but the timely buying of foreigners
offset the bearish influences, and made
sentiment bullish, overriding every
thing bearish. English traders who
were sharp enough to foreseo their
wants early in the fall, and took adj
vantage of it by buying them from
three to four months in advance, al
most before the American spectators
were aware Of it, have come in the
market within week and taken mil
lions Oh DuSHelS Oh DOIn cash anu Iu-
lures for shipment during the next four
months, while local traders. were as a
rule afraid to take the buying side. 1t
is claimed by operators in position to
know that there is a larger short inter
est than at any time within sixty days.
The Northwest is short against its cash
holdings there. Foreigners have alb
sorbed the surplus wheat that is afloat
in the pit. 1t is difficult to buy any
large lines without sending prices up
rapidly, if any of the recognized lead.
ers are credited with being at the back
Of the orders. This leaves the market
in stronger position than ever, and
those who watch the pit operations
closely are confident that prices will
