The wheat market is furnishing
some surprises. and no one can
tell what a day may bring forth.
1t seems as eager to get away from
the dollar mark now, as it was to
reach it week ago. The spec
tive element appear to have con-
troll of it, and they put the price up
or down, as looks most profitable
to them. IF the foreign crops are
the failures they are reported to
be the price ought to be more
than dollar, and every downward
wave of the staple is that much out
of the pockets of the farmer, and
in the pockets of the Spectator.

SPEECH RESTORED.
Case Which Puzzles the ofictals OF
a Deaf Mute Institute.

1b601 NIUE 1O0t1tutcs
The medical department of the Arkansas
Deaf Mute Institute is deeply puzzled over
a case which occurred at that place. Two
years ago Jennie Childress, aged 3 years,
whose parents reside in lizard County, had
a severe attack of measles, which seems to
have paralyzed the vocal organs, rendering
speech impossible, although her power of
hearing was not in the least affected. Last
October she was sent TO the deaf mute
institute. For several weeks she had been
under the care of the institute physician,
DIR. Gray. but he became con-
WINGED a few days ago that there was
no hope for the little one and wrote to Mrs.
Childrcss that he could give no encour-
agement whatever in Jennie's case. Her
power OF vocalization seemed to be utterly
gone beyond recall. Tuesday afternoon
Jennie was with a class of girls, some of
whom raj speak slightly. They were
singing the familiar church hymn, ".At the
Cross" when all were astounded at Jennie,
who broke intothe chorus with a clear, per-
feet tone, the first words she had uttered
for over two years. Later she pronounced
her teachers namea and remarked, "Mamma
will he so happy Superintendent Yates
Immediately telcgraphed the good news to
her father.

Victims Of High Water.

Four rescue steamers arrived at Memphis,

Nearly a hundred of them had been stand
ing for hours in water waist deep, await
ing the arrival of the steamers. and several
had persisted. Vacant buildings are crowd
ed with refugees, the total numbering $500.
They sleep on the floors, but have all the
food and clothing necessary. 1t seems now
that they will he on the city's hands for a
week, may be for months. Many, but un-
confirmed, runlors of heavy loss OF life in
the flooded districts caused almost a panic
in the southern city. The governor of
Arkansas, from whose territory most of the
refugees come, has refused To aid in taking
care of them. The relief committee has
issued an appeal to the southern states for
aid in taking rare of the sufferers.

portant Pension Ruling.
The United States circuit court of APP
peals at ST. Louis has furnished the first
judicial Interpretation of the words sin
the line of duty" as applied TO injuries re-
ceived or disabilities contracted in the mil
itary or naval service of the United States.
The court virtually decides that disabili-
ties contracted in the service are not pen
sionable unless the service was the cause
of the disease and not merely coincident
with it in time. The effect of this de-
cision will doubtless be to revolutions
ize the established practice of the
United States pension Office at WASH
ington. Francis NJ. Rhodes made applica-
tion for a pension for catarrhal oph-
thalma alleged to have been contracted
during the late war. He was allowed IL
pension of 81 IL month, which by dint of
successive increases reached the princely
figure of 500 per month. 1t was then
discovered that he had the disease before
he entered the service and his name was
dropped from the pension rolls. Justice
Sanborn, who rendered the opinion, among
other things says: "Neitlier injury no
disease can authorize the grant of pension
under the acts of congress unless il is
caused by the presence of its victim in the
line of duty when it was received or con-
tracted."

The authorities at Georgetown, Del, are
inclined to believe that james NJ. Goriy,
the man now i'll Jail there charged with the
murder of Mrs. Mary Lewis of New York,
last week, is a second II. II. Holmes.
Gordy denied that he knew Mrs. Lewis,
despite his admission to Detective Whitsil
that he did. Gordy's father, Peter Il.
Gordy, died under mysterious circum
stances at his home at Cypress Springs, near
the Maryland line, five years ago. 1t is
also learned that one Of Gordy's
children died about a year ago, and
the father Was suspected of poisoning
her. Gordy has worked vari-
IL alleged swindling schemes. One of
these, it is claimed, was to inveigle women
into purchasing the stock of Il fictitious
photograph company. y warrant was
issued i'm Washington for him for working
the scheme, and in October he WA arrested
in Pfttsburg and imprisoned in Allegheny
County Jail. A friend there helped him
out of the trouble. lie was also arrested
in Boston and Chicago on similar charges.
The attorney general and detective have
about come to the conclusion that Gordy
followed Holmes schemes, and induced
Mrs. Lewis to take out insurance, to get
which they believe he took her life. The
feeling against him is so strong that the
citizens of the town have asked Sheriff
johnson to remove him to safer cell.
