In arriving at the truth Of any
important matter 1t b:hooves you
to consider well Its source. Be fair
and candid in your investigation Of
what purports to be truth that
you may fully comprehend Its true
merits.
Now what desire Is that you be
not deceived, or In any way led as.
tray through prejudice, as to tho
wonderful cures of nearly all kinds
of disease which mankind IS heir to,
by Dr.. Wong during the fourteen
years of practice in Los Angeles.
1t should matter little to you
whether you are cured by this treat
ment or some other, SO that you arc
permanently cured.
The different kinds of treatment
and the manner in which they are
prescribed Is for you to decide.
Many of late who have called at
the DOCTORS office, 7I3 South Main,

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Wheat adhered to
its steady connection with the Liverpool
wheat market which, Notwithstanding the

morning. Because of that disappointing de-
cline at Liverpool, in spite Of the reelection
In consols and light receipts Of wheat at

74%@74% at the close yesterday. The price
wriggled and squirmed every time 1t got to
half "a cent above the lower of the opening
prices, as 1t did two or three times during
the forenoon, and gave every indication OF
feeling uncomfortable when In the neigh
borhood of yesterdays closing rates. The
first advance to 74A was followed by re-
turn TO 14%. A slow rally to 14& ensued.
This was followed by several minor fuctua-
tions, but by Y o'clock the price had slid
Off to 1873, or virtually cent per bushel be-
low the closing price Of the day before.
quent small bulges came from St. Louis,
which market bought freely during the
morning and sent renewed reports or dam
age to the crop in the northwest. Closing
cables reported Liverpool Id lower for the
day, and the continental markets, with one
unimportant exception were all lower.
That and an absence Of demand for cash
wheat here or at the seaboard were the
reasons for the free selling which succeed
ed every little bulge during the forenoon.
Chicago receipts were only 1S car loads.
against u1 CuIS Oil tHc cOIltSpOHulllS udy

Duluth got only 1SO cars. compared with
4S5 last year. The smallness of the Atlantic
port clearances of wheat and flour was one
of the days discouragements to the bulls
the total being only $4,000 bushels. The
break In wheat would have been probably
greater had not the signal service pre-
dicted a drop in the temperature to 10 be-

OF this coupled with Beerbohm's estimate
that the worlds visible on March 1st would
be 36, COO, 900 bushels smaller than 1t was
March 1, 1896. created a good demand and
quick reaction from the break to 1885. BY
o'clock May was bringing 74N and the
closing bell found the price at 741s@74i4.
Corn was steady for awhile. and after the
opening became exceedingly heavy later
in the day. The market was weakened by
prospects of larger receipts and poor
shipping demand. The oats market was
almost entirely controlled by the f1uctua-
tions in wheat in corn. But little business
was transacted for the strength imme-
diately after the opening. Provisions acted
very firm in spits of larger hog receipts
than was expected.

was very interesting from start

Old Flick who was in the

did some good work and only let
two men go TO first base on balls,
and one by being hit.
Our boys were right in it when
they came to the bat the
batting of Harden, Hickenbottom,
Denham and Cottonham being
features of the game. Vanrelt
and Cotfman also did some ex-

Clarksburg had IL men left on
bases while Buckhannon had only
4, and made 8 double plays to
their 1.
The visiting team did some
fair work too, and the game was
by no means a walk.over for our
