Opportunity To Make Ia Own rrlce 10,
the Cereal.
CHICAGO, Dec. l6-Wm. +. Baker,
pres dent Of the board Of trade. SAYS
with reference to the unusual condi-
nons OF wheat:
lash wheat is at a premium over fu-
tnre delivery here and in all parts o the
world, because more of IL has been sold
than can be delivered. Wheat is scarce
all over the world. Not enough was
grown last year 10 supply the de-
mand. America now has the
opportunity to make its own price for
wheat 1t has. in the past. been con
sidered by many TO be a blessing for us
to supply the world with cheap " heat.
even though our own farmers hardly
could make both ends meet on the cost
OF production. Now. perhaps in view
OF the prosperity which has come To
this nation, from higher prices. there
VIII be less sympathy for those oper-
ating 70 depress grain values below
the values normally adjusted by de-
mand and supply.
In the past unlimited quantities OF
wheat have been sold on the market
and resold. with no demand for its de.
livery. Now, however the wheat is
wanted SO badly by consumers that
contracts calling for delivery can stand
Tor no wind wheat We shall prob
ably see the same tight conditions in
May wheat when May comes, as we
now see in December wheat.
Il think that this country already
has exported much of the " heat which
IT will soon need for its own consump.
tion' and that the full scarcity is no
by any means yet appreciated

day contained list of l. fourth-cass post
masters who had been appointed in Yer
mont, in nearly every case the present in
cumbent being removed g. II. Walker
was named to succeed b. +. Sleeper at
Westminster. Mr.. Walker was formerly
postmaster at Putney, and had experience
as a clerk in other post-offices. He is the
merchant at Westminster, having bought
the store there about year or two ago.
Mr.. Sleepers term would naturally expire
Dec. II, next, as he took the office Dec
II, 1898. The new postmaster at Wards
boro is A. l.. Wheeler, the merchant. f.
d. Plimptons term of four years would
end July /, next. Mr.. Plimpton and Mr..
Wheeler are stanch Democrats. Their re-
moval from office is unexpected and has
caused much comment. Under the Harri-
son and Cleveland administrations the
custom was to allow fourth-class post
masters to serve out full term of four
years before their successors were ap-
pointed.

James Speer returned from his FL
Reno visit yesterday looking hale and
hearty. The story comes drifting
back from the Territory that when he
went down he came near being carried
on into Texas. The brakeman called
"El Reno" and he hurriedly arose,
picked up his grip and set it on top of
his hat which was lying in the seat.
Then began frantic search for the
hat, which was kept up until the train
was ready to leave the station. Jim
hun ted and Milton hunted but to no
purpose. Finally in desperation they
lifted the satchel to take it from the
train, Mr.. Speer going bareheaded,
when the hat was revealed. There
was some talk Of sending him home
in charge Of a guardian but finally
they gave him set Of rules written
on a piece Of card board and allowed
him to travel alone.

Death Came at Last.

Harry, the little son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey Scott, aged 6 years, died
Tuesday at 1920 o'clock after five
days battle with the destroyer. The
little fellow has suffered much and
the parents hearts have hoped almost
against hope that the end would not
come. But it did and the sorrow
that has brooded over their hearts Is
today deepened and the first born and
well-loved son is gone. Tho disease
is considered to have been diphtheria
and the burial Was private Wednesday
p. m. Only those who have them
selves suffered the loss OF loved
children can truly know the grief Of
the bereaved parents but all will ex-
tend sincere and earnest sympathy.
Rev. W. A. Crawford ofliciated at
the services, a brief service being
held at the house and the interment
was In the Abilene cemetery.
