died here Saturday, develops a case rare
in medical science. Thirty-fve years ago
while serving in the United States Cavalry,
Mr.. Upton was thrown from a horse, sus-
tanning pelvic injury. This gradually de-
veloped a tumor of the bone. The growth
extended into the vertebra and became of
such proportions as to displace and crowd
into the most circumscribed limits the in
terror organs of the body. The stomach
was pushed to one side and so crowded
that it was not a tenth of its natural size.
The left kidney was crowded upward eight
inches and the lungs were pressed into
space smaller than the human hand. The
weight of the tissues and fluids removed
was siXty-four pounds. Within the bony
incrustation We're four gallons of liquids
and semi-solids. Mr. Upton had been con-
fined to his bed nearly two years. The
tumor was SO sensitive that walking of
attendants on the floor of the room caused
the most intense pain. Mr.. Upton was
sXty-five years old and a gallant soldier.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16-Estimates of Wall
street men bring the total amount to be
gained by Western farmers this year up to
S7O0, eco. Another estimate, prepared I'M
der the direction of Col James II. Brigham.
acting secretary of agriculture, is based on
the crops of 1896. The impression now is
that the yields for this year will not differ
widely from those of last year In some
instances the figures may be slightly in ex-
cess and other products may note a slight
decrease. Eight products CHOSEN as illus
trating the vast financial benefits accroring
to the farmers of the United States from
the recent rapid rise in prices are cattle,
wheat corn, potatoes, cotton, sheep, swine
and wool Careful comparison has been
made of the prices now prevailing with
those which obtained during the whole of
last year The results show an inflow of
S4l0O00,0O0 to the pockets of the farmers.
To this large sum- which is already in
sight must be added an estimate of $4,000,
600 for the increased profits that have been
realized on crops of oats, barley, rye, hay,
flax hops and othr miscellaneous but in
valuable products of the farm.

OuT mar ket can easily take care of these liberal receipts without break providing other markets do not get over supplied. We look for good run dur ing the coming week, and with heavier receipts at other points prices will like decline. We advlse quick marketing atpresent prices.
