and recognizing it as dangerous he
took immediate steps to bring about a
speedy cure. From the advertisement
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
the many good recommendations in
cluded therein, we concluded to make
a first trial of the medicine. To saw that
it was satisfactory in it's results. is
putting it very mildly indeed. 1t acted
like magic and the result was a speedy
and permanent cure. We have no hesi-

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Chicago. Oct. ga steady advance has
marked the wheat market since the mid
die of the week, attended by an increased
outside interest which yesterday suddenly
took on the proportions of a boom and
put prices at a higher point than they
have been for several weeks. One fea-
ture of the market during the early part
of the week was the selling out by the
pun clque OF their December holdings
on every strong spot and the taking on
of new line of May. This was done
sySS!ien1atlcaily ana Its erect was TO grad

tween the two futures. On last Saturday
this spread was cents. Last nights
cloSIng FOUND 1t cut down to &c Locally,
the feeling has been improved by de-
cided falling off in the northwest receipts
This was said to be due to the farmers
paying attention 10 their seeding and
plOwing after the breaking of the drought
The liquidation of December and the TAX
ing on of May became more pronounced
during the latter part of the week and
on Friday interest was fairly divided be-
tween the two options.
Statements in regard to the wheat re-
Quirements of European countries have
received substantial Confederation through
the greatly increased export demand
Many reports were also received as to
the poor winter wheat prospects east of
needed Some reports indeed showed a
rather sensational state of affairs. De-
cember has ranged between 908c and
943sc. the low point being touched on
Wednesday. The range for May was be-
tween ss5sc and 9S3sc.
WHEAT-Wheat was steady. The open
ing quotation for December showed an
advance of 1kc. Cables were higher, and
from all over the northwest came the
same story-no rain, The crowd was
bearish, however, and fought the advance
yesterdays SC Improvement not being to
their liking. December fluctuated be-
tween 9434c, the opening figure, and 94c.
May followed December, and although
there were many inquiries, price varia-
tions were not marked. At II O'Clock De-
cember was 9414c and May 9314c.
CORN-COrn was easy at about last
nights closing prices. There was no fea-
ture to the market. December opened at
267sc and one hour later showed a decline
of 14c.
OATS-Nothing was doing in oats. De-
cember, 1880; May. 1850.
VISIONS-PrOvisiOns were weak.
Cudahy sold lot of pork early; which
sent the market down from $7-9I12. its
opening price, to $7.S713. Lard showed an
advance of 10c with December at $3.50

AN ARILENE GIRL
Who is Making Success in Art in
New York.


Miss Eleanor Seymour of Abilene, a
typical Kansas girl, who is studying
art in New York has become famous as
the greatest in that city. Miss Sey-
mour went to New York about a year
ago to study art, having developed her
talent during the early years of her life
at home in the kitchen, helping with
the household work and making herself
generally useful. When she was in
school her teachers discovered that the
young woman displayed rare talent.
She would neglect her studies and sit
for hours sketching objects in the room
and drawing original creations. How
ever, she did find time to keep up her
studies later and as she grew to Wo-
manhood displayed wonderful literary
taste as we'll as artistic ability Miss
Seymour, like many other young peO-
pie, was confronted with the problem
of how to get through school, evincing
a strong desire to study art in New
York. She hesitated however, between
a literary career as a newspaper wo-
man and the school OF art. In her des-
peration she called upon an intimate
friend and unfolded her plans, asking
device.
Your face is your fortune" he said
to her. You would better go to New
York and marry a rich husband while
you are young and pretty"
1t was finally decided that Miss Sey-
mOur should study art.
She went to New York from where
she recently wrote her friend:
LAS you said, my face is my fortune,
but not in the way which you suggest
ed. BY means of sittings for artists
here have been able to pay my way in
school, but at the same time have been
permitted to keep up my work. So
you see am not an artists model in
the full sense of the term"
Going to New York Miss Seymour at
once took a high place in her classes.
The question of means was one which
constantly agitated her mind and when
she was requested by some Of the lead
ing artists of this country to sit for
them she gladly accepted.
While posing for the advantages of
her beautiful head and shoulders, Miss
Seymour has come in contact with the
most famous painters and artists of
the country and writes that she is in
debted to them for many valuable Sug
gestions and assistance in her work.
Miss Seymour is quite clever n writing
also.
A few years ago sonnet writing was
the fad in Abilene at social gather
ings. Miss Seymour on being called
upon for sonnet to be written Off
hand, quickly constructed the follow
ing:
Ali You ask for a sonnet!
And yet, to be frank
My mind is blank
Have you patience to con it2
I'll sing of my bonnet;
'Tis a feminine prank;
But you'd not call it rank
If you saw me once don it.
'Tis a dear little poke
Trimmed with buttercups, gold
Bows and feathers so tall
Ha! 1 have played you joke
I've no bonnet at all,
There your sonnet behold.

Danger in sheIIfish.

A large number of cases Of typhoid
fever in and about Brighton, England,
have led to investigation of the causes
of this disease. 1t has been found that
in a family where only one person ate
shelltish, that person was usually the
one attacked. There were various de-
grees OF severity in this paper. In some
cases it was mild and complicated with
other maladies; in others very severe
and with a fatal ending, and the inter
mediate conditions reasonably severe,
but with long period occupied by con
valescence. The suppositiOn in most OF
these eases was that the system was
able to throw off portion of the poison
or to 50 neutralize IT that the sufferer
was able to overcome it's effects. In
almost all the cases it was found that
the water from which the shellfish
were taken WAS, to greater or less
extent, contaminated with sewage.
This accounted directly for the disease.
The scientist who had been at work
upon this subject says that there is no
doubt that She. fish contemplated with
sewage can. and do, convey enteric fe-
yer, but that. OF course, it does not fol-
low that every shelstiSh from con
taminated source contains typhoid ba-
cilus nor that, if it did, it is necessary
that every one who eats an infected
shelifish should develop typhoid fever.

Toward the end of every century
the question is raised as to the day on
which the next century commences.
Without giving the matter considera-
ton it would seem, says the London
Graphic, that the first day of the
twentieth century will be January l,
1900, and the last day OF this Deem
Der 81, 1899, but little thought will
convince any one that the beginning
and the end do not occur until a year
later, the first day of the coming CEN
fury being January l, 1901. Not until
1900 years have actually passed since
the commencement of our era can we
say that the twentieth century com
mences any more than we can say that
a young man is in his twentieth year
until he has spent nineteen years of
his existence. To use another anal
Ogy, we are now in the sixtieth year
of the reign of Queen Victoria,
though her Majesty will not have oc.
Cupied the throne sixty years until
next June. In similar way, the year
1900 is really the nineteenth hun.
dredth of the reign OF Christianity ; al
ats close 1900 years will have elapsed
aimee the birth OF Christ, and the
twentieth century will then com
mence.

The potato.fsrm idea, as a provision
to lessen the number of dependent
poor, is, OF course, in a state CT the
greatest development in Detroit, the
city of its birth, observes the New
York Post. The matter is looked nf-
ter there by city commission, and,
from temporary expedient in time
of industrial depression, appears to be
taking the form of a permanent city
institution, with marked socialistic
features. On the ground that the poor
are always with us, the Potato Com
mission, as they are called, argue that
steps should be taken to make the
pOtato-plot farming under pRternal
care an enduring part of the city's
minIstrations for the dependent. They
report also that they find increasing
difficulty in obtaining permission to
use vacant land. This leads to the
suggestion that the city buy 200 OF
more acres of land, to be fenced into
sections and provided with storehousee
and Overseers. The Commission en-.
deavor to sweeten what might be an
unpalatable proposition with the sug
gestion that these potato patches can
as the city becomes larger, be con
verted into parks. These and Other
features of the Commissions report
create suspicion that the position o
Commissioner is a saaried one anC
worth retaining. But they should inC
better arguments for the permanenoy
Of the potato.patch plan than thos'
offered, viz, that it creates a desir,
for the ownership of land and is Oh
object lesson in industry.

Crowds followed him from meeting to

One evening he was preaching to a

REV. M. N. MILES AT NINETY.

l KEW, M IN. MlaJhO AL min
March 81 was a day Of great interest
| in the congregational church, Iowa
City, the pulpit being filled by the Rev.
NJ. N. Miles, who was ninety years old
Wednesday, March "a. The services
were conducted by the pastor, DR.. Bull
lock, Mr.. Miles preaching the sermon
from Genesis 47:9, contrasting home life,
educational advantages, advancement
| in moral reforms and church activity
ninety years ago with the present, clos
| ing with a beautiful testimony of faith
| for salvation in Him who is the same
yesterday, to-day and forever. Mr..
Miles spoke entirely without notes for
forty-five minutes and his address was
Imethodical in it's arrangement, clear in
| it's presentation and interesting to the
very last to the large congregation as
sembled to hear him, and when at the
| close of the services the aged minister
| lifted his hands and repeated the Apos-
tolic benediction, all seemed to feel that
| they had received blessing from one
Of the old prophets of the Lord On his
| ninetieth anniversary the ladies of the
church gave him and his beloved wife
with whom he has walked in welded
| life more than half century a recep
| ton at the home of his daughter, Mrs
Ada North, ex-librarian of the State
university. Many friends called to pay
their respects to this worthy couple who
are held in high esteem, not only in the
city, but throughout the state.
Mr.. Miles was born in Litchfield coun-
| ty, Connecticut, in 1907, and graduated
from Yale college. in 1881. He studied
theology in Princeton in 1928. He be-
gan his ministry in 1884, in Chantauqua
county. New York; held pastorate In
Pontiac, Mich, for time, but In 1S43
went to Illinois and spent most of his
| ministerial life in that state, his last
pastorate being In Geneseo Mr. Miles
helped to organize the State Association
of Congregational churches In Illinois.
and in the anti-bellum days was well
known for his stalwart addition princi-
Piles and his earnest endeavor to sup
press slavery in our land. Mr.. Miles is
the veteran CONGREGATIONAL minister of
the Mississippi valley; he retains his
mental vigor In remarkable degree
and keeps well informed on the living
questions of the day. At the ripe age of
ninety, hail and hearty, he still lives
amongst us, blessing to his home, a
sympathetic helper to his pastor and
greatly beloved by all who knew him.
