WILD PLUNGhS IN WHEAT.
The Report that the Greco. Turkish War

Skyward.

The announcement that war had
been declared between Greece and
Turkey set the wheat market wild on
Monday. On the heels of Saturdays
cent rise in prices came another
jump of &C, May opening all the way
from Safe to S34c, so intense was the
excitement prevailing at the outset.
For an hour the market was in a
furore, with values fuctuating so wild
ly that it was next to impossible to
follow their course. May reached
S3sc on one of its wild spur:s, which
proved to be the high water mark for
the day.
Suddenly foreign houses, local
traders, outsiders and everybody who
had clamored to buy wheat turned
sellers. Large profits were represented
on most of the wheat thrown over and
by midday the unloading process was
in full swing with prices tobogganing
down hill as fast as they had ascend

Is 1t An Advertisement

They have discovered another hor.
rible thing about Bryan. 1t Is an
nounced with many flourish of the
TESTERS rattles that at one time, said
to be in 1884, he was an actor, play
ing "East Lynne" with Ada Gray.
Miss Gray is the discoverer of this
fact, and newspaper comment in rela-
ton to it is what might have been
expected.
Now, admitting for the sake of
argument, that Bryan was an actor,
what OF lt' Actors are intelligent peo-
pie and some of them are geniuses.
Mr.. Bryan has shown himself to be a
genius. Nobody can deny that the
campaign which he practically con-
Quoted alone last year was brilliant
one and nobody can belittle the force
of his oratory. But there is no cam.
paign now. The smoke of battle has
blown away. The people of this
country have again become American
citizens, not partisans. Why not, then,
cease this snarling at the heels of a
big manl
Besides, it may not be impossible
that Miss Gray needs little advertis-
ing. If Bryan had ever acted in
company with her she would have
known It last year quite as we'll as
nov, and so would other members of
that company. She has chosen to
make her discovery at the wane of
the season when some sort of special
attraction becomes necessary to in
duce people to attend theaters. 1t
therefore seems to be lucky dis
covery, If indeed there has been any
dlscovery.-Pafriek

The Popular Reaction.

The local elections earlier in the
season, in New England and other
sections, including our own State,
showing large Democratic gains, in
dicated reaction from the Novem-
Der election, and were the forerunners
Of the revulsion that was found to fol-
low the election of Mckinley. This
change in the political current is con-
tinued in the result of the town and
city elections which came off in Ohio,
on Monday, where there has been a
most decided change from the maiori-
ties of last fall. Cincinnati, which gave
a majority of 10000 for Mckinley,
in November, now elects a Demo
cratic Mayor by plurality of 1000.
There is a Democratic gain of 1000
in Mark Hanna's city of Cleveland /;
Canton, the, home of Mckinley, goes
Democratic by handsome majority /;
Springfield, the home of Bushnell, re-
'erses its Rennhlican naIority by
ele.elug Democratic Mayor; in
Columbus, the capitol of the State,
McKlnley's majority of 5000 is wiped
out, and other towns show a similar
change.
These may be regarded by super
fetal observers as local expressions
that have but little significance but
when they are seen to occur in wide
ly separated sections of the country,
in New England, Ohio, Michigan
and Illinois, as we'll as in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and New York, as
has been the case in the recent spring
elections in those States, they may be
regarded as the first indications of
the reaction against the party that
carried the presidential election last
year.
Such reaction is unavoidable. It
is bound to come. When a party has
carried its point by gross deceptions
practlced upon the people, and its
promises turn out to have been reck-
lessly made and unfaithfully perform
ed, its punishment at the hands of the
people is sure to follow.-Ex.

they are subjected, and when this
occurs there is nothing for the inhabi-
tants to do but seek personal safety
and see their possessions swept away.
Many portions of the Mississippi
Valley are constantly subjected to
this water peril, and the worst of it is
that there can be no permanent
remedy. Levees cannot be construct
ed sufficiently formidable to confine
the great body of water that sweeps
down into the giant stream from its
numberless tributaries, great and
small.
The peril is not yet at its greatest
height. The great question now Is
whether the levees below the Red
River will resist the flood. If they
give way other vast tracts of agricul-
tural lands will be desolated of their
growing crops and their improvements
There is not much doubt that the
national government will have tc
come to the rescue with another ant
larger appropriation tor the relief o1
the sufferers, who are already number
ed by thousands and may in short
time be increased to tens OF
thousands. The damage done by thi:
almost unprecedented food will bt
estimated by hundreds of millions O
dollars.

The Board of Pardons has filed a
recommendation to the Governor to
commute the death sentence of James
B. Gentry to imprisonment for life.
Gentry was convicted of the murder
OF Madge Yorke, young actress, in
Philadelphia. 1t was apparently a
cold blooded murder, simply because
he was drunk and jealous. If a man
convicted under such evidence as was
produced in this case can escape the
gallows, the death penalty had better
be abolished, and thus put an end to
this mockery Of justice.

TIE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.

The worst seems to have occurred
in the Mississippi Valley by the
breaking of the levees on the Louis
lana side below Vicksburg, overflow
ing several entire parishes, DESTROYING
all crops, rendering people homeless
and wlping out all improvements.
There seems to be some doubt
whether the great river is not now
creating permanent new channels in
some places. This flood has once
more demonstrated the hopelessness
OF contning the Father.of Waters to
prescribed limits by the system of
levee construction that, has been in
vogue for SO many years at so tremen-
dous cost to the government.
Periodically the levees give way

Grosvenor's Bill to Give Republicans a
Chance.

General Grosvenor introduced an
important bill in the House on Satur-
day, which, if paased, will make many
vacancies in the departments, for it
affects the Civil Service law. If it
passes it will make all the Democratic
clerks appointed by the Cleveland
Administration stand civil service
examination. The bill reads:
"That all officers, clerks or other
persons now in the classified public
service of the United States who have
been employed or appointed therein
since the fourth day of March, 1903.
and who were not prior to their said
appointment or employment in tie
classified service of the Government
under the act Of January I6, 1888,
duly examined as prescribed by said
act, shall within ninety days from the
passage OF this act appear before the

said officers, clerks or other persons
shall not give to them any preference

public service Of the Government, but
they shall stand upon equal footing
In all respects as to said competitive

Baby's Smooth, Fair Skin
Is Due to Hoods SarsaparIiIa It
Cured Him Of Dreadful ScrofuIous
Sores Now In Good Health.

"At the age Of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the local external ap.
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted O physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and In q week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore made its appearance on his arm.
1t grew worse and worse, and when he
was three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / also took Hoods
sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and
have never returned. He Is now four years
old, but he has never had any sign of
those scrofulous sores since he was cured
BY Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which I feel
very grateful. My boy owes his good
health and smooth, fair skin to this great
medicine" MRS. 8. 8. WoRTlN, Farm
