WANTED HER MONEYS WORTH.
Something Lacking from Her Re-
mir Kit.


Anyone who had not seen the woman
with an angry eye wobble just before she
dismounted from her wheel would have
taken her for an experienced rider; a hero
inc of century runs. She strobe with ma
jestic confidence through the store, and so
Impressed another woman that she forgot
herself and let the newcomer be waited on
first.
Il suppose" she said to the clerk, that
/ looked rather new at bicycling, and you
thought that there wasn't very much use
of bothering about me, because i wouldn' t
know the difference, anyhow
The clerk assured her to the contrary,
and said he was sure there was some misuII-
Outstanding.
There was misunderstanding. she an
swered. Il understand that when bought
this repair kit l was getting all that re
pair kit ought to contain.
Certainly" he answered. isn't it all
right"
Didn't you expressly state that it con-
tanned everything that would be required
for repairs in an ordinary accident
Yes"
And / bought it with that implied guar
antee, didn't ~
.'Undeniably, you did,
And if things didn't turn out just you

sticking plaster, or else give me back my

Recreation In Variety.

No one has any conception of how
much of pleasure and recreation there
is in variety until after having some
experience in a careful attention to
such things. The utmost pains should
be taken to vary meals as much as pos
sible. The number of dishes served at
each meal need not be increased, but
much thought should be given to max
ing the different breakfasts, dinners
and suppers as unlike as can be. 1t is
much less monotonous to have mod
crate number of viands varied in every
way each day than to have a fuller bill
of fare from which to choose, knowing
in what form each article of food will
appear-Mrs. Boulder. in Ladies' Home
Companion.

MALT TRUST ORGANIZED.
Combination Now Perfected in All
It's Details.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27-The Tribune
says: The maltsters' trust is not said
TO be permanently organized. All the
details are declared to be completed,
and it is said that a full outline of the
organization will be made public at a
meeting to be held on Wednesday, For
the last ten days a score or more IF
representatives of large mailing houses
in the West have been in consultation
with Eastern concerns, and Wall street
men, who have had charge of the findn-
cia lend of the combination. Seymour
Scott, president of the Scott Mailing
company, of Lyons, N. Y, is said to
be the chief promoter of the organize
ton, and Elverton r. Chapman, of the
firm of Moore & Schley. has looked
after the financial end of the matter
Some trouble was encountered when
the project was broached from NAL
sters who did not care to enter the
combine, but it is now announced that
all those who hesitated have been in
duced to come in, and that the combi-
nation embraces every prominent malt
ing house in the country, and will rer-
resent an annual product of %, O000G0
bushels of malt, upon which there is
profit of over $1,000,000 1t is said
that the organization intends to in
crease profits by centraliZing the mar
ufacture, and putting a stop to tie
competitive buying of barley. Instead
of operating all the small mailing
houses throughout the country, the
manufacture of malt is to be confined
to Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis, Phil
adelphia and this city At present
competitive buying of barley keeps it
at an artificial price, so the promoters
of the organization say, and they think
that having the trust as about the
only purchaser, the farmers can be in
duced to sell uniformly at lower
price. Money is to be saved in operat-
ing expenses also, and SO the profits
will be increased to a considerable ex-
tent.
The name said to be selected is the
American Mailing company, and the
capital stock is to be 100000 pre-
ferred, on which per cent dividend
will be guaranteed. and SIS, 900
worth of common. 1t is expected that
the stock will be snapped up eagerly
The Cunard Steamship company is
mentioned as a heavy investor, and
J. P. Morgan & Co. are said to guar
antee the bonds In the event of the
success Of this undertaking the Oft
talked-of beer trust may be organized

Victory Won by the Mutual Life i'm
Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept 27.-Judge
John F. Williams today granted a per-
petual injunction to prevent Superir-
tendent of Insurance Webb McNall
from interfering with the business of
the New York Mutual Life Insurance
company. The attorney general was
also enjoined from interfering with the
company in any other manner except
by bringing proceedings in quo war
ranto. The suit was the result of
trouble over the famous Hillman case.
The Mutual Life is one of the COM
panies which, it is claimed, is liable
on the Hillman claims, and Commits
sioner McNaIl refused to grant it a IL
cense on the ground that the claim had
not been paid. Judge Williams said, in
his opinion, that such action was arbi-
trary, and 'an assumption of authority
in ministerial officer that is star
Ting" The attorney for Commissioner
McNall gave notice that the case would
be appealed to the United States SUI
preme court.

to scalping transactions and evening up of
trades. The usual quantity of Monday sta

usual, and as a rule were more bear:sh than

iterated his former estimate of $50, OO0 600 bu
yield of wheat for 1897, against the gov
ernment's figures anticipating only 10000, 900
bu. Mr.. Shows reasons given are that the
acreage of winter wheat was at least l 500. 600
acres more than the governments estimate,
and that the spring wheat is fully
100000 acres larger This, together with the
hearish sentiment prevailing in the trade
made it hard for the bulls. There were,
however, other items of interest which had
a steadying effect. At 11:30 a. m. the visible
