cHIcAGo PRoDUCN MARKET

CHICAGO. ILL, March There was
an array of statistics on wheat to-day,
enough TO encourage the most falnt-
hearted bull, and yet the gain in prices,
owing TO the slackness Of trade and 10
the Indifference Of foreigners, was great
~ disproportionate 10 the information.
The worlds shipments for the week

wears and the amount of ocean passage
decreased 100000 last week. the Ameri-

ordinary circumstances the igureS mCN-
toned should have resulted in from to
3 cents rise In values, but, at the close
of the market the net appreciation was
less than cent. Trade was very quiet,
the commission houses having rev out
side orders. and the local professionals
doing but little. quite a number OF crop
damage stories were received from 81
Louis and other Southwestern points, but
they apparently, had little effect on the
market May. wheat opened at from

70 1-2c.. and closed at 10 1-ful3 5-Sc.-3-4g

was firm and l-2u84c. per bushel higher.
The corn market was dull but firm.
The transactions bore no marks OF inn
portance or interest. only small lots be
ing traded I'm. Outside orders were few,
and scalping was all that kept the mar
ket from falling into complete lifeless-
ness May corn opened al 2ic., advanced
to 241-Sd24 1-4c.. and closed at "a l-Sc.-

There was some short selling of oats
at the opening, but as the sales did not
prove Immediately profitable the pro-
perty was covered, the result being

markets for motive. May oats closed

at Saturdays prices. d.
some inclination 10 do business was
manifested in the provision market to-
day a better feeling has developed
lately. and on the least encouragement
there is fair buying. Light receipts of
hogs and an advance in their price stimu-
lated the demand to-day, values showing
some appreciation. The refusal Of the
French Government to impose an import
duty on American pork was also an aid
to the market May pork and ribs each

Women in Gutter Journalism

In the world of modern wildcat jour
nallsm the woman reporter lasts about
four years. She brings her education
her personal attractions. her youth, her
illusions, her energy. her ambition. and
her enthusiasm to the encounter. and
the first year she rises rapidly. The
second and third years she enjoys the
zenith of her popularity: with the
fourth year she begins the descent. lin
gers about the horizon for a time. and
then she disappears from view.
There IS no vocation into which wo-
men have entered where disilusions
materiali2e SO rapidly as they do in
journalism. The stage is looked upon
with horror by conservative people
whose knowledge of ii is based entirely
upon prejudice; but in comparing the
career Of an actress with that OF the
newspaper woman / have no hesitation
in asserting that the experiences of the
actress v no attains success through
love Of her art and devotion to it are
Infinitely preferable to those of the sue
cessful woman who finds her field in
the modern newspaper. The path OF
the woman between whom and the
public is the glare of the footlights
is paved with fewer stumbling blocks
than that Of the woman who seeks pub
lie applause through a pen in modern
journalism She knows more of per-
sonal comfort she meets with fewer
temptations. and she has q better OBJ
portunity for cherishing the illusions
with which she started in life-Haryot
Holt Cahoon in the Arena.

those that are warm, dry, and of rea-
sonable proportions-Wil answer every
purpose. They need not be expensive
or at all pretentious in outside appear
ance.
AS proof of the above assertion, I
would present to you glimpse of FROM
tier day methods of poultry raising in
Nebraska, when the home of the writer
like the illustrated home of her biddies,
was contracted of prairie sod Within
these homes we We're just as happya as to-
day. Our beautiful thoroughbreds throve
and multiplied, and commanded prices
that at first We're surprising to us. De-
spite their pure white plumage, they
came from their dark-walled homes of
sod, as beautifully white as are their
descendants to-day, coming as they do
from a house that cost more than fif
teen times the price of the much-re-
GREETED sod poultry houses we once
owned and We're very proud of.
Our own home, unlike the home of
the biddies, was finished upon the in
terror much after the style of we'll
built frame, and it was coy and pref
ty. The walls were plastered and pa
pered, wood work prettily painted and
floors carpeted and in all respects the
pattern of these modern days and
ways. But the biddies cared not if
walls We're upholstered so long as they
resisted so perfectly the elements OF
wind and weather, and kept them in
such perfect comfort as they enjoyed.
Their house was kept for them in
state of cleanliness, and the atmos-
phere was of healthy purity, just as
every poultry house in the land should
be kept, and as every poultry house
must be kept, does the owner of the
fowls expect to win from poultry Gull
ture laurels of fame and dollars of sill
Yer and gold.
A COW, few biddies to begin with.
and a garden, have opened the way
eventually to many q we'll established
business in thoroughbred poultry cult
ure Women dependent upon their own
resources for livelihood. have thrown
down the needle, bid adieu to dress
making, teaching or clerking, and have
gone into the pure air of the country,
accepted gratefully the manner of
country living; have gathered about
them a flock of thoroughbred fowls,
subscribed for n number of journals de-
voted to poultry culture; have studied
and read, practiced and labored, and
are now reaping the reward of their
undertakings.
That this industry Will soon be over
done have no fears. There remains
room for thousands more where thou
sands have successfully trod before.
The life is a pleasant one, remunera-
tive one. and one filed with possibili
ties; and in this. as in every branch of
enterprise and industry, there is al
ways room at the top.''-Mrs. Nellie
Hawks in the Home Magazine.

Conway, a well-known Meade county
teacher, was put on the ticket for can
didate against our Democratic nominee,
w. d. Ashcraft, for School Superinten-
dent. Frank is progressive, up-to-date
girl along educational lines but / am
afraid she or her friends have made mis-
take in her behalf. Mr.. Ashcraft has
made a most efficient, popular officer.
No one could do more for the advance
ment and interest OF education than he.
He is staunch Democrat and will poll
a full vote-the sound money Democratic
vote does not amount to much in Meade
but he will get his share of it. Bennett
