OPEN SALOONS IN TOPEKA.
Trouble Between Gov. Leedy and the
Prohibitionists.

PrOhibftfOnist0.
For the first time in ten years there are
open saloons in Topeka, Kan, and as a
result something of a rebellion against the
present State administration has been
started. Within week several saloons
with fine fixtures have been opened. Gov.
Leedy has been appealed to to compel the
police commissioners to close the places,
but so far has refused to take any hand
in the matter. He says he appointed men
on the board whom the prohibitionists
recommended, and that it is not his duty
to spy around to see if they are doing their
duty.

Scattered the Glands.

Possibly ii was from noticing the I'M
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that an
ingenious Austrian grape-grower was in
duced to exactly reverse the American
practice. An account of his experiment
is reported by United States Consul Ste
phan at Annaberg. The Austrian owned
extensive vineyards situated on the
southern slopes of the mountains, in a
locality often visited by destructive hail
storms. At first he tried galvanized wire,
but this was too expensive, and he de-
cided to install battery and test the
plan of causing explosions to drive off
the haistorms. He erected six stations
on prominent mountain submits COM
handing a territory about two miles in
extent. Each station sheltered ten NOR
tars and corps of volunteers handled
them. The practical test Is thus de-
scribed: Threatening black clouds made
their appearance on the SUBMITS of the
Bacher Mountains. At given signal all
the mortars were fired off and the contin-
uous detonations in few moments caus-
ed a sudden reaction in the movements of
the clouds. The cloud wall opened up
funnel-like: the mouth of the funnel be-
gan to rise in the form of consecutive
rings expanding gradually until all the
clouds scattered and entirely disappeared
No hail nor sudden down pour of rain fell

THE WHEEL.

Germany has So bicycle tracks.
Linton says that he expects to ride
60 miles inside of two hours during this
season.
The rumor that Gladstone, at the age
of 81, had learned to ride a bicycle,
was as silly as it is untrue.
When the bicycle first appeared in
India it was not at all an uncommon
thing for natives to fall down and wor-
ship it. Calcutta can probably claim
more woman cyclists than any other
city in India. They ride very well, too.
There are indications that the fes-
tive scorcher will tire of his fun be-
fore long. The police are arresting
these fast youth in all directions, and it
costs every one of them from five to
ten dollars to attain his freedom. That
is too costly sport.
The real secret of riding a bicycle
safely on a crowded street is to ride
slowly. never TO relax watchfulness,
and to keep from three to six yards be-
hind the vehicle you are following. A
slow rider can stop and dismount, or
jump at a moments notice. The fast
rider cannot do 1t with safety, or quick
~ enough.

WHEAT GOES UP.
The Golden Grain Jumping
Around 81 Cents Bushel-
Interesting Facts and Fig
ureS.

The Baltimore San of Wednesday
says: Wheat took another upward
bound yesterday, spot reaching point
over cents a bushel higher than the
day before. While dealing was not
heavy here, owing to comparatively
light receipts, the market was strong
and the outlook encouraging.
The price reached yesterday for spot
wheat was S79 cents, and for Septem-
Der S64 cents. Spot wheat was quoted
at ssh cents Monday and September
at SAL cents. This time last year the
price of spot wheat was 65s. The re-
ceipts OF new Southern wheat yesler-
day was SO, 663 bushels. much smaller
amount than would have arrived but
for the recent rains.
This years enormous wheat crop,
with the prevailing higher prices and
the gratifying possibilities OF financial
oetterueul for agricultural interests,
are exciting general comment aud
causing q decidedly more hopeful feel
ing il business circles. A prominent
gfaiD man said yesterday:
"The farmers Of Maryland will re-
ceive from S5,OOOO00 to $4,000, 600 more
IN cash than they did last year. This
means noticeable increase in money
circulation, more purchasing of all
kinds and a general impetus 10 trade
and commerce"
Mr.. Harry A Wroth, assistant secre-
tary OF the Chamber of Commerce,
gives some interesting figures and
facts regarding this years wheat crop.
"In the reports of the United
States Department of Agriculture"
said he, yesterday, "Maryland's wheat
crop in 1896 is placed at 7,S7S,000 BUSH
els, with total acreage of 463, 900
acres. From that crop the sum of &c.
49,, 900 was realized. This years acre
age is estimated to be nearly 25 per
cent. greater than last years and the
yield has been much greater. In Har-
ford County, for instance, it is esti-
mated that the acreage has increased
at least 80 per cent. 1t is also much
greater III Washington, Frederick and
other western counties, and in Kent,
Queen Anne's and other sections on
the Eastern Shore.
With this largely augmented grow
ing surface, we ind the yield very
much heavier than for years. We have
heard of crop as high as 45 bushels
to the acre, crops of % and 30 bushels
are common. | think that one may
figure an average of from 20 to 25 bush
els to the acre all over the State From
reports which we have received and
careful estimates made we believe that
this years crop will reach, in round
numbers, $4,000, 900 bushels. If an av-
erage of IS cents bushel is received
for this crop, the amount coming to
the farmers is Sl0,500000.
"Ouly about one-fourth the crop has
been marketed, owing to rain and other
climatic conditions. As the price is
already soaring well above 70 cents a
bushel, and commercial conditions are
such that even better prices may rea-
sonably be hoped, much greater mar
gin OF profit to the farmer may be ex-
pected Then, again, this years crop
is running to better grades than for

A Large Foundry May Soon be

Frederick has an opportunity at
hand to add to her manufacturing in
terests materially. A northern man
has been in communication for some
time with the Frederick Business
Mems Association relative to the locat-
ing here of his large foundry and ma
chine works, and should the proper
amount of encouragement be held out
to him the change of location will be
made at once. Mr. Alvin Stricken, the
party referred to, has his plant in OPP
Grafton in Winchendon. Mass, and is
highly regarded as a business man.
He was in Frederick last week and
personally inspected the numerous
sites proposed for the new enterprise.
He was very much pleased with all he
saw and is now awaiting the result of
the consideration of his plans and prop
ositions by the members of the associa:
ton. a large plant, employing a
number of workmen and advertising
through its products the advantages
of Frederick as a field for factories,
would be of incalculable benefit TO our
people. They should cooperate as
much as possible with the Business
Mems Association in securing this in
dustry for Frederick.
