being smashed to pieces, but should
the bridge be removed they run the
risk of being caught on the track, as
there is about an S-fOot cut at that
place and as the wagons would be
compelled to enter a cut which would
have to be made in the street in order
TO bring it on level with with tie
railroad track, thus not being able
to see an approaching train until they
were struck.
As it is hard pull to get over the
brigde, but the majority prefer this
to running the risk of being smashed

WHY STAND YOU HERE IDLE?

To the Daily Light.
Permit me again to approach the
question of our parks through the
columns of your valuable paper Hap
pening to pass through Main plaza
this morning about s o'clock and
observing one of our gardeners APP
parently suffering from ennui for
lack of employment, | deemed the
question as TO ''why was this thus"
somewhat pertinent. l was informed
in reply that the enforced idleness
which created the condition of pain
full ennui above referred to was oc-
casioned by the non-appearance of the
boss gardener who had the keys of
the tool chest in his possession, and
what, ask, can even good workman
do when denuded of his tools? Again
casually passing the same park at IL
O'clock, noticed the same condition
existing and to my further inquiry
received the same reply. Can it be
possible that the paternal care which
our mayor and Chairman Mahncke
are presumed to exercise over our
public parks and plazas is becoming
quiescent that they permit such a
thing as the above? l cannot impute
any blame to the emplOye referred to-;
he seemed DESTROYS to commence his
work, but what is the matter with the
man who keeps the keys of the tool
chest? Surely he should be on hand
when the men under his direction COM
mence their work and not allow the
city's money to be frittered away in
such a manner-by enforced idleness
of its employes-Surely the absence
of Mr.. Seidel should be investigated
by Mr.. Mahncke or by our mayor. If
he finds the weather too hot can't he
carry a parasol or does the lack of
rain create in him a drouth which
takes a long time to Quench, or is he
fishing at Rockport, or what?

Chicago, Dec. 3l.-This was settlem ent
day on the board of trade, and in sense
marked the close of what is considered
the biggest deal in wheat,so far as hand
ling the actual article Is concerned, ever
engineered. Up to last night probably
S,500000 bushels of contract grade wheat
had been delivered on the December CON
tracts to Joseph Letter, which is practi
cally every bushel of high grade wheat iD
Chicago. 1t was the prevailing opinion
today among the traders. before the
opening of 'change, that the session
would be devoid Of any excite ment as it
was believed the "short" interests had in
the last Is days been practically sliminat-
ed from the market. No squeeze" was
therefore looked for.
The first sale of December wheat was
at 94M cents, an advance of "a cent as
compared with last nights figures, and
about equal to the advance in options,
The Allen-Grier company, agents for the
Letter clique, attracted some attention
by buying December wheat and selling
May at 2 cents premium for December.
The trade was, however, on a compare
lively small scale, with price change
merely fractional.
"The so-called December deal goes out
as quietly as lamb, just as we expected"
said George French, who is identified
with the Letter interests. "Those who
sold their wheat in the 7Os and sos pre-
ferred to buy the stuff from the farmer
and in other markets and bring it here.
The additional loss has been of NO mo-
ment, it being entirely matter of pres
tige and credit. Chicago now has mil
lions of bushels of wheat in the elevators
of grade that will pass in any market
ia the world, and the credit of our market
is so much enhanced thereby. As to our
policy in disposing Of the wheat, I do not
