Weather Conditions Check Trade,
and Prices Very Firm.

The raw temperature Of the last two days
has interfered somewhat with trade which the
spring naturally brings. Travelling statesmen who
came in yesterday report the situation steadily
improving. and look for a big trade as soon as
the roads and the weather become settled. In
nearly all articles prices rule very firm, and
with a mere active movement further advances
may be looked for. Fruits of all kind are tending
higher. except Strawberries. and the price on
these is governed largely by the receipts from

Hides and Leather.

CHICAGO. March 26.-The Chicago Shoe and
Leather Review tomorrow will say: The big
cattle slaughterers are in absolute control of the
hide market. Stocks are very low. and enough
tanners are in constant need of raw material 10
prevent any accumulations of hides. The kill
of cattle is not large. and the hide supply is
likely to become a more serious problem than
ever. The leather markets are strong, but not
especially active. and pending a rise in quota
tions there is no hope of profits in the tanning
business. There have been scattering sales of
probably ZOO hides during the past three days
and scarce.

HOPES FOR HIS LIFE.
Little Bernard Wagner May Pull
Through Yet.


Bernard Wagner, the seven-year- Did
boy who was struck in the head by a
stone thrown by Benedict Kast, Tues
day evening, is lying in critical con-
dition at the city hospital. The boy
received a depressed fracture of the
skull which necessitated a dangerous
operation, and his condition is such
that the physicians will not hazard a
prediction as to the ultimate result Of
the unfortunate affair After the lad
was taken to the hospital, Drs. Bald
win and Allen removed a portion of the
skull, on the left side of the head
just above the ear, and trepaned the
opening. The boy recovered conscious
ness yesterday and stated that Kast
had thrown the stone which injured
him. The boy possesses a strong con-
stitution, the physicians state, which
may pull him through, though the
chances for his recovery are considered
slight
Kast, who was arrested at an early
hour yesterday morning, when young
Wagner's dangerous condition was
made known to the police, was arraign-
ed in the municipal court on the charge
of assault with a dangerous weapon.
He does not deny having struck the
lad, but does not appear to realize the
seriousness of the situation He offers
no excuse for his action further than
to claim that the boys of the neighbor-
hood were frequently annoying and
says he acted in a fit of anger, which
he now regrets. According to his story,
some one had been throwing rocks into
the yard Of his father-in-law, Frederick
StipkovitZ, 408 Erie street Kast and
his brother went out to investigate and
the Wagner youth was seen in the
yard Of a neighbor. Kast then picked
up a stone and hurled 1T at the lad,
who was knocked senseless to the
ground. At the request Of Assistant
County Attorney Zollman the case
against Kast was continued one week
without bail to await the results of
young Wagner's injuries.

SUNDAY Evening.
Evangelist Henry Varley continues
to speak to large audiences at the Cen
trail Park Methodist church. The meet
ings so far have been success The
Bible study which is held in the after
noon has been well attended, while at
the evening meetings there has been an
attendance of from 800 to 400. At last
evenings meeting Mr.. Marley an

his meetings Sunday evening. From
here he will go to Minneapolis where
he will make two addresses the first
part of next week. Further than that
he has made no plans.
In his address last night he let fall
the following: -s'It is a terrible thing
to bear in mind that soul that is
unregenerated is bound to go from bad
to worse. You will admit you are NOR
ally bad, or not as good as you ought
to be. You know that our sour milk
will never be sweet, and that old clothes
will never be new; so it is with morals,
they are bound to go from bad to
worse, unless something is done.
therefore make, a strong appeal to you
to accept the Lord Jesus Christ, who
can make you perfect through his
blood. 1t was through the blood of
Jesus Christ that atonement for our
sins was made possible. We can stand
before our Savior cleansed by the
privileges given by the atonement.
am persuaded of this, that only the
blood of our Lord Jesus Christ can
ever eXpiate for our sins, and it is
by his blood alone that we are re-
leved and made clean from our sins.
We are Christ's workmanship, created
in Christ's image. 1 wonder how many
of us understand our immortal being.
BY his blood we are made partakers
of His divine nature. We, as parents,
provide for our children, and they never
take a thought for the morrow, as
they think it is our place as parents
to provide for them, so it is with
Jesus Christ caring for his people on
earth"
