STORY OF THE WHEAT DEAL.
Why Phil Armour Borrowed Wheat
Instead of Money.

Instead Of Money.
Chicago, Feb. 12.-1he Journal today
says:
There is new light in the battle be-
tween Armour and Letter last Deem
Der. and in the present movement of
spring wheat to Minneapolis, which
has puzzled she trade from Chicago to
London. 1t is claimed that Mr. Ar
mour is filling another contract, chiefly
with Peavy of Minneapolis. The story
is this:
When the Armour forces were work
ing as never before last December to
bring wheat to Chicago from Minneap-
oils and Duluth to fill short sales to
Joseph Letter, Mr.. Armour became d
borrower. He did not borrow at the
banks: he borrowed wheat. He took
wheat on iand at central markets from
Mr.. Peavy and others and entered into
a bond to replace II. wheat before a
certain date. 1t is claimed that this
guarantee for the furnishing of the
whent az the time specified was a check
representing about S500000 The never
ending run on wheat to Minneapolis
for six long weeks after best judges in
the trade said the receipts were at an
forts to fill his contract with Mr.
Peavy. IT IS the withdrawing OF this
wheat from hiding places IN over a
dozen states. The country tributary
10 Kansas City has been worked for
the Minneapolis end. Now it is known
why the receipts up there have not
been on the market. The wheat is
dumped into the Peavy hopper 10 re-
place the borrowed grain.

THE bill is a damnable outrage. 1t
is the outgrowth of soured ambition

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

FIRST BATTLE OF REVOLUTION

When Major Pitcairn got to Lex ington Green, about half past four, thanks to Bowman's warning, there were some sixty or seventy men as- sembled to meet him. "Disperse, ye rebels; disperser' cried Major Pitcairn, and rode toward them There was much discussion then, and there has been much more since, as to who fired first. It matters not It is certain that the British poured in a volley and followed it up with others. The minute mens ~ notf yet realizing that the decisive m0ment had come, hesitated, some standing their ground, some scattering.
