We have had a very nervous, selsi-
tive market in wheat the past week,
but the undertone has been very strong
at times, and prices were up 3 cents
over a week ago. The news has been
quite bullish in tone, and foreigners
have been liberal buyers of wheat for
nearby shipment. About the only
thing that at all favored the bears was
the fact that rains had fallen moder-
ately over the drouth stricken area, and
that fall work was again in progress in
the winter wheat sections. Receipts
of wheat have been large, with an ur-
gent demand for good milling wheat
from nearly all quarters. Exports for
the month of September were the larg-
cot ON record, footing up 20, 900, 900
bushels. The American visible supply
shows an increase of 1919 900 bushels
for last week, and now totals "a, 629,-
600 bushels, against 81, $50, 900 a year
ago. The fact that France has again
been a large buyer of wheat the past
week has done much to stimulate
prices, and were it not that speculation
is very light we should have seen a far
greater advance. Wheat is on a legiti-
mate basis-the basis of supply and de-
mand-but every One seems to be afraid
OF it because they compare prices with
what they were a year ago, and many
predict declines, but while the cash de-
mand is as urgent as it is now, and
foreigners are buying our wheat and
flour at the rate they are now doing,
there is no chance for more than slight
reactions and everything favors u
higher range of values. We feel very
bullish on the situation. and advise
our friends to get hold Of some wheat
and it will soon show them a good
profit.
There has been more weakness
shown in corn than the most sanguine
bear had looked for, and as holders be-
came easily frightened and threw their
holdings on a market that was narrow
and with light trade at the start, the
result can easily be foreseen-rather
sharp decline with shorts the best buy
ers. Receipts have been large.

Thirteen Were Killed.

Torres, Mexico, Nov. IA disas-
trous explosion occurred in the Anna
rillas shaft of the Grand Central mine,
at Minas Prietas. Thirteen men were
killed outright and three sustained
probably fatal injuries. In som I'M
known n a large quantity of giant
powder blew up in the fourth level OF
the shaft. So great was the force OF the
explosion that out OF four men who
were stationed fully 200 feet distant
from the center, three were killed IN
stantly. Six of the recovered bodies
are totally unrecognizable. The Grand
Central mine was recently purchased
for 81, 900, 900 by an English syndicate.

RESISTED ARREST.
Pitched Battle Fought in Arizona with
Fatal Results.

Yuma. Ariz.. Oct. ga pitched
battle at Mammoth tank. 10 miles west
of Yuma, between Yuma county off
GERS and 270 Mexican railroad laborers,
resulted in the death Of five to seven
Mexicans, the wounding of several
more, and the dangerous wounding OF
Deputy Sheriff Wilder, of Yuma.
Sheriff Greenleaf, of Yuma, was
called upon to arrest the ~ringleaders of
a gang of striking Mexican railroad
laborers. With his deputies, George
Wilmer and James Jones, he advanced
on the strikers, when the latter attack
ed them with rocks and revolvers.
With the first volley from the Mexican's
revolvers Wilmer fell. Jones then ran
for the section foreman who had &C.
companied the officers.
Jones in the meantime had secured a
shotgun, which he discharged at the
advancing strikers. Three men fell
and were picked up by their comrades,
who continued to advance. Another
shot brought more to the ground, and a
stampede followed.
Sheriff Greenleaf, who had in the
meantime conveyed the deputy to a
waiting train, called upon his men to
board the train, which Immediately
pulled into Yuma. A posse of 20 men
is being formed in Yuma, and will
soon leave for the scene of the trouble.
More and sensational developments
NAV be expected.

FIVE BRAVES SLAIN
Battle Between Colorado Game Proteo.
tors and Indians.

tors and Indians.
Rife, Colo. Oct. 28.-Reports from
Snake river are to the effect that Game
Warden Wilcox attempted to arrest
some Indians near Lily Park for vio-
lating the Colorado game laws, and was
fired upon by the Utes. Game Warden
Wilcox with several posses Of deputies
and ranchmen are after the Indians,
and a further conflict seems inevitable.
The excitement here is intense, and
parties are organizing to go to Wilcox's
assistance, fearing a general uprising
of the Indians.
The trouble commenced last week,
when the White River, Uncompahgre,
and Uintah Utes began pouring over
the line from Utah on their annual fall
hunt. The White River Utes are ex-
ce~ptionally ugly, and have apparently
been anxious to pick trouble with par
ties OF whites with whom they have
come in contact. The Utes were in the
Meeker massacre and have never been
anything but ugly and waiting for an
opportunity to do mischief. There are
several hundred OF them now in the
state.

yesterday at Administers Park. at
Greenville, in the rain. and was won by
Mike Dorrler of the G~reenville Rife Club.
nouncement is received with a great deal
of pleasure by his large circle of friends.
Honors have accumulated rapidly for
Dorrler during the past year. and he has
been more prominent than any marksman
in this county. not excepting the noted
Zimmerman. The conditions yesterday
were unfavorable to good shooting. and the
event was not the success 1t shoul have
been. The attendance was greatly reduced
in Consequence while the shooting was
not up to the standard of previous years.
A heavy mist hung over the range, and it
was with difficulty that the three-fnch
centre was discernible at 200 yards. Visit
ing marksmen were present from New
York. Pennsylvania and Connecticut,
while this State was well represented.
Fred C. Ross, the champion for four
wears. was a competitor yesterday, but
failed to do better than second place.
Harry Pope, the noted Connecticut shot.
and H.. Spencer, of Scranton, added to
the interest. Both shot we'll, the latter
aking third honors. In all, twenty-four
men entered. Dorrler won by II points,
and received the Hayes medal, a hand

The Luffa or Vegetable Sponge.

Within a few years there has APP
peared in the drug store windows OF
the cities of the north a curious retlc-
ulated object known commonly as
"Luffa' or Cucumber Sponge" They
are imported in compressed bales
from Japan and Egypt, and are Of
fered as an indispensable adjunct to
every well regulated bath room. These
strange objects are the reticulated
skeletons of two species of the GU
cumber plant, and they are also
known by further variety of COM
mon names, such as the vegetable
sponge (Which is both appropriate
and euphonious), the poor mans dish
rag, the bonnet gourd and the dish
cloth gourd, though it is not a gourd
in any sense; and the japanese know
it as the hechima pronounced hetch-
i-mah).
Twelve hundred years ago the Ara
bian botanist Ebu Baitar described as
the "Lu1fa" the variety grown III
Egypt, taking it's title from the Egyp-
tan name of "Louff." In 1888 DR..
John Veslingins, of Holland, in writ
ing work upon the plants of Egypt,
as a sequel to that of Prospero Alpha,
described with two engravings the
cucumber plant that now furnishes
the commercial Luffa of Egypt, under
the name of Luffa Arabum, or cucu-
mis- reticulatus Aegyptius. From
very early period the reticulated skel-
etons of Luffa Arabum were used by
the Egyptians in their bath rooms,
and it is probable that the japanese
did the same with that of their closely
resembling hechima Ouffa macrocar--
pa).

Paper Flower Pots.

A serviceable and yet inexpensive
device, so simple that the gardeners
children can make it, is the paper
fiower-pot, especially designed for
seedlings. On piece of stiff paper
draw two concentric circles of six and
three inches raolus respectively, and
cut out a portion of the ring thus
formed, about eight inches long and
of the shape of the upper diagram in
the illustration. Using this as pat:
tern cut as many like forms from stiff
MANILA paper as may be desired. On
opposite margins, and about five
eighths of an inch from each end, cut
radially halfway across the strips, as

shown by the lines in the dia-
gram. Now coil the strips and slip
the ends together along the cut lines
and the fower-pot is complete, as
shown in the lower sketch. When the
seedlings or cuttings have been placed
in these pots, they should be plunged
into sand or soil until ready to be
shifted to larger pots or to be trans
planted. The plant may then be read
ily removed without disturbing the
roots, by simply tearing off the pro-
jecting strips, and the paper unwrap-
ped from the soil. These paper pots
can also be used to great advantage
in starting young strawberry plants.

The Wealth of the Pansy.


rial. Some people enthuse over the
commonest kind of a pansy, seeing no
appreciate difference in individuals
unless it be to add little extra glory
in favor of extraordinary size and
sharply contrasting colors, such as we
find in the Primardean strain. The
pansy is prominently a flower to be
studied, it's horticultural value de-
pending largely upon pedigree and
points. The pollinator with busy
wings, having a monopoly of ancestral
traits, keeps his secrets to himself.
Judges of floral exhibits usually de-
termine it's rank and Importance by
the following scale of points: Form,
four; substance, three; color, two;
and size, one. The petals of pansy
should be so disposed that each might
touch the edge of circle drawn
around them. Good substance seems
to be of first Importance; thick, vel
vety pansies are as superior to thin
petaled sorts as rich fabrics are to
fimsy cotton. Color is merely mat
ter of taste, although the authority
and pure, with eye large and dis
tinct." Notwithstanding which, in
some of the most expensive pansies I
ever saw these characteristics were
not prominent.
An almost imperceptible blending
of harmonious shades is wonderfully
attractive, especially if the eye is sof-
tened by a fine net work of veins,
which give tone and character enough
to suit the most aesthetic taste, if not
an astute judge. Size, it will be OBJ
served, counts least of all, but is the
feature universally appreciated. Ex-
preston might well be added to the
list, for it is this attribute that sug-
gests ''pansies for thoughts pane
cea, perhaps, for in a bed of bright
we but read between the lines Alright.
The effect of prosperity upon favored
plants is highly interesting II one has
a leaning toward scientific expert
ments, for no flower yields more read
lily to the influence of fertilizers or
chemicals Like mortals, sometimes
they are improved; again, the effect
is demoralizing. Oftimes in seeking
to enlarge a small flower of rare color,
the color is materially injured. /
have observed that blue and yellow
varieties are most susceptible to gas
tronomic change.
For house decoration pansies need
no other flower to enhance their
beauty or afford variety. Tiny glass
vases holding few Of kind are
much more effective than a preten-
tious mass of indistinguishable color.
cit is IMPOSSIBLE says Ril<in, the
famous Japanese artist, ''to rival ma
ture in her magic of design. Our arti-
fetal arrangements should be as mod
est and simple as possible" The most
exquisite arrangement of pansies
which | ever saw was a large moss
covered platter on which pansies were
artistically massed in groups of col
ors. AS the moss sloped from the up
