WHEAT REALLY BULLISH,
But Spectators Are Afraid and
Prices Panicky.

Prices Panicky.
CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-The Times Her
aid will saw tomorrow: Whenever De-
cember wheat gets around 80 cents the
crowd gets panicky on it. Heretofore
there has been more money On the
long than on the short side on these
breaks. 1t is the old influence, the
fear created by the comparatively hlgh
prices, the vivid recollection on
every break that less than eight weeks
ago the market was in the COS. The
trade cannot accustom itself to the new
level; cannot convince itself that the
low prices were the extraordinary cir
cumstance, or that the present range
is normal one.
There are a few traders who have
been apt students and who can buy at
around present prices and feel no un-
usual fears; in a month or more from
now, if the range holds, there will be
a few more. If the speculator could
look with equanimity on the price he
might call the position bull one. There
are the EXPORTS 1S,700,000 bushels in
August, about 24,OO00O0 bushels this
month, 42, 10000 in two months. With
all the ado about prices the stocks do
not increase much. This weeks will
be the first appreciable increase at Chi
cago, although the winter wheat move
ment has passed it's flood, and the
spring wheat has been rushing forward
for over a month
There are some queer features to the
speculative position. ST. Louis is over
New York; Chicago is only .3h cents
under New York. They are pointed to
as signs of new danger They are no
more such than the fact that the cash
grain keeps at a premium. The Chi
cago strength is because of the fact
that December contracts can only be
filed with No. 1 northern or No. red,
and because the shorts cannot see
where this sort of grain is to come
from. The ST. Louis strength is be-
cause of the Paris demand for No. 2
red, the only grade the Frenchman
wants. The spring wheat movement
keeps very large, and is a legitimate
bear consideration, but it does not
make the supply any greater and it
does make certain sudden and early
letting up in arrivals, possibly in Oc-
tober, instead of November, as in the
ordinary year.

FOR COOLING ROOMS.
Apparatus Invented by Prof. Elmer
Gates, of Washington.

The apparatus which has been devised by
Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington, for the
ready cooling of rooms in summer he declares
to be capable of being more cheap1y operated
in summer than a coal stove in winter, says
the New York Sun. 1t is simply tall
cylinder of galvanized iron resting in large
basin or pan, and connecting at the top with
the ordinary stove pipe or at tube leading
out of the window. In the top of the cylin-
ders interior is perforated tubular ring
and on a cock being turned on this ring
an artificial shower is caused inside the cylin-
der. The water thus flowing down the sides
takes a rapid spiral motion, which sucks
the air down through the cylinder at rapid
rate, fine spray inside cooling the air thus
entering, reducing its humidity to normal
and taking out all dust and bad odors; the
water collects in the basin below, from which
it is drained off, the cool air escaping through
openings just above the water surface of the
basin. In some experiments exhibited with
this contrivance, the temperature of the air
on entering the cooling cylinder was observed
to be about 92 degrees, while it was as low
as 6S on it's coming out at the bottom. When
the temperature of the laboratory is 92 de-
grees, the atmosphere inside can thus be
cooled to about 70 within three hours, and
the humidity at the same time may go down
from 100 to about normal

Break in American Sugar the Feat
ure of the Week.
LONDON, Sept. 26-The feature of
the stock market is the break in Ameri
can Sugar. This has been ascribed to
the Cuban difficulty and the yellow
fever, but the fact that all Americans
are alike affected disproves the theory
The break is really caused by the
restrictions in bank loans to specula-
tors, who have been forced to sell mold
ings on borrowed money, thus checking
an unnatural rise that might nave END
ed disastrously. New buyers are eX-
pected at the lower level and the rise
may soon be resumed.

The bank rate has risen to 2R ana
there will probably be further rise.
But continental exchanges have not
responded. The heavy shipments OF
American grain are likely to create
European Indebtedness; but eXchange
makes gold shipments to the United
States Improbable, although it would
have begun more largely, but for
American purchases in anticipation OF
the Dingley tariff.
The money market is easy and the

With the death of Mrs. Julia Hamilton. the
bearded woman at the county farm at Great
Falls Mont. a book of romance is closed and
all debts have been cancelled, says the Ana

years residence there probably not over

first duty every morning was to shave, and
thus growth of beard as luXuriant

Deserted and alone with not crust of

few weeks ago by her neighbors. She was i'll

chin and sides of her face. She was taken to
the county hospital, where she passed away,
and was buried by the county. Just before
her death she told that during her life she
had been married six times and each of her
husbands had deserted her.
She came to Great Falls about eight years

to marry her.
Several old-tfmers, learning of the strange
womans predicament, went to Adams and

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-02-26

From The Chicago Tribune.-The
latest novelty in the line of time-keep-
ers will appeal to lazy and forgetful
people. 1t consists Of watch which
does not require any winding. All that
is necessary for its owner to do, in or.
der to have the time with him always,
is to walk half a mile day. The watch
got out in several varieties of cases,
some of them extremely ornamental,
but the kind most commonly seen in
Chicago is made with plain black case
and an open face. The winding mech
anism consists of an ingenious contriv-
ance by which small weight is raised
and lowered from the jar of walking.
The motion of the weight works small
ratchet arrangement, which winds the
spring to it's full tension, and then is
automatically held until more winding
Is needed. A course of shaking up and
down for few minutes will answer the
same purpose as stroll afoot, while all
the jolts and jars of ordinary existence
are likewise made useful as means of
winding. The possibilities which this
new watch opens up for forgetful and
lazy people are enormous. The man
who comes home late at night by an ir-
regular course of progression down the
street will no longer need to have his
wife wind his watch in order to keep
1t going, and the more tempestuous and
full Of ups and downs his evening has
been the better the watch will be
wound. The student, college-professor
and the young woman in love will all
be blessed with perfect running time
piece, no matter how often they forget
to wind it before going to bed at night.
Above all, society will be delivered
from the necessity Of hearing the re-
marks of the fool man who says he
doesn't carry watch simply because
he is too lazy to wind it.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-02-26

In this game the first thing to be
done is to appoint a postmaster-gen-
eral and postman. The table must
then be pushed on one side, so that
when the company have arranged
themselves round the room there may
be plenty of room to move about. The
postmaster-general, with paper and
pencil in hand, then goes around the
room, and writes down each persons
name, linking with it the name of the
town that the owner of the name
chooses to represent. AS soon as the
towns are chosen, and all are in readi-
ness, the postman is blindfolded, and
placed in the middle of the room. The
postmaster then announces that let
ter has been sent from one town tc
another, perhaps from London to Edin-

these two cities must stand up and, as
silently as possible, change seats
While the transition is being made, the
postman is at liberty to secure one OF
the seats for himself. If he can do so
then the former occupant of the chair
must submit to be blindfolded and take
upon himself the Office of postman.

REV. MARY A. HILLS.

In letter just received from the noted
Evangelist, Rev. Mary A. Hills, she writes:
u gladly give my Testimony to the healing
properties of DR.. Kays Lung Balm. MY

for five years and he took dozens of bottles
of the leading cough medicines but nothing
seemed to help him or quiet his congh.
But two 25c. boxes of DR.. Kay's Lung Balm
has cured him, and it has been great re-
lief to other members of my family when
afflicted with colds'
cine to equal it for the lungs throat or
catarrh. WE GUARANTEE IT to cure even
If all other remedies and doctors have failed.
Why not try it now. 1t costs only 25c q,

4 PRETTY TOUGH SKULL
Hit with Rifle Ball. but 1t Was Oaay
TriHe.

Hit with a Rife Ball, but 1t Was OnAy
Trife.
Rufe Bronson (colored) recently
drove below the Illinois Central incline
to dump a load of trash in the river,
says the Paducah News. Capt. Newt
Roberts, the well-known steamboat
man, repaired to the bottoms on the
north side to try new Winchester of
3S-caliber. Just as Capt. Roberts drew
a head on a stalk of ironwood and
pulled trigger Rufe moved into range
from behind a gravel bank about 275
feet away. There was a crack from
the rifle and an exclamation from
Rufe. The heavy ball had hit him on
the forehead, somewhat above the eyes,
with all the force of heavy charge of
powder. The negro did not even fall
down. He wiped his brow with an OLD
handkerchief and drove on toward the
river bank. The morning after he told
a reporter about it.
"Yessir, somethin' hit me in der
head and den l heard gun go off. At
fus' l thought hornet had stung me.
1t felt kinder that way"
did you fall down, Rufe?"
Nav, sir; but de bullet sort of
pushed my head over ter one side, but
dat w all. Dis mornin' my head kinder
ached a leetle, but Use been workin'
all day. My heads peeled leetle bit
and skinned up, but not huff ter hurt"
