WHITNEY A LAND BARON.
Has just Added 1000 Acres to His
Wide Spreading Domain.

New York, Aug. pa dispatch to
the World from LenoX, Mass, says:
VIM. c. Whitney has just completed
extensive purchases of land adjoining
his large estate on October mountain,
about six miles east of LenoX village.
This purchase aggregates 1000 acres,
so that he now owns about II, 900 acres
in all
He is still negotiating for a dozen or
more farms adjoining his great proper
ty. The land just bought includes all
the land of the Richmond Iron compa-
ny. He has also bought about 500
acres of VIM. P. Perry, which reaches
a grand opportunity for a private park
from there to his country house on the
top of the mountain, a distance of four
miles. There are two or three farms
adjacent to the Perry place which he is
trying to purchase and probably will
buy in short time. Mr.. Whitney OBJ
jectS to having the primeval forest cut
off the hill side and will include it in
his game preserves, as it furnishes the
animals a home similar to that they
have had in the Rocky Mountain reg
ion.
1t is a wild, uncultivated country
covered with forests or rocky, noun
famous ridges, which has never been
profitable for farming land. 1t is we'll
adapted to the purpose for which Mr.
Whitney has evidently purchased it;
namely, for the preservation of game
from the Rocky mountains. Buffalo

Last night about O'Clock Junus
Schmidt, a machiniSt employed IN the
Santa Fe shops, became exceedingly
sleepy and prepared to retire ABOUT
the same hour Mrs. Schmidt made up
her mind that she wanted him up to do
an errand for her, and communicated
her desire just in time to head him
off in the process of disrobing. Mr..
Schmidt protested, but Mrs Schmidt
persisted, and rather than have trouble
in the family, the husband set out to
do the Grand
Mr.. Schmidt lives at 221 North Klein
street, and his route in carrying out
his wffe's desire lay across the Santa
F'e tracks. When he started south on
Klein street his eyes and steps We're
heavy with sleep, and by the time he
practically walking in his sleep. That's
why he didn't see the Santa Fe switch
engine coming down the track.
When he did see it the headlight was
full on his face and he made a mad
leap for life. He escaped the engine
but in descending from the air his
shoulder struck one of the rails, and
in an instant his shoulder was dislo-
Gated.
1t was but 20 minutes from the time
of the accident until the physician ar
rived, but in that time all the neigh
bors in the block knew that the in
jury was due to an attempt Mr..
Schmidts part to carry out his wife's
instructions. Mr.. Schmidt furnished
the information, and is no doubt scold-
ing about it yet.
Mr.. Schmidt will be unable to re-
sumo his work in the shops for some
time.

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

Chicago Aug. 90
WHEAT-Today 9O15@90ssc was bid for
September wheat at the opening on
change Even at this price, advance
of 31ac since yesterday, offerings were
few and far between and the market
quickly ran up to 9112c. Then the bears
rallied. Fortunate holders of wheat let
go in sufficient quantities to relieve the
tension somewhat and the price was
pounded down to 901sc before any rally
occurred. For twenty minutes September
wheat swung between 901sc and 907sc and
about As minutes from the opening a
still further decline occurred, the price
getting down to s97sc. There it turned
and five minutes after 901zc was being
bid. The big factor was the Liverpool
advance, equal to 21aG31kc per blu. being
recorded there in spite of the 1asc break
here yesterday. Only during the first
half hour was the trading heavy but dur
ing that half hour the pit was in an up
