Joseph Letter, according to experts
in the trade, is forcing thousands OF
people to eat darker bread than has
ever been seen since the introduction
of the patent roller process Of making
-four. His control of $4,000, 900 bush
els of contract wheat means, they say,
that the millers are grinding the best
grain they can procure, since their
supply of No. hard spring wheat has
become exhausted, and the best Is not
very good. Chicago grOcers and retail
flour dealers have been receiving com
plants regarding breadstufs from
cooks and housewives, who have sent
back sacks and barrels Of -four marked
with the fanciest brands and bought
at the highest price.

I Edward Smith AGED about S5

J. Edward Smith, aged about 50
years, committed suicide at his home
in Hagerstown Tuesday. He loaded
a shotgun and got into bed. BE laid
the gun underneath the covers and
rested his forehead on the muzzle.
Then, bending his left leg, he caught
the trigger with his toe and the load
simply tore off the whole top Of his
head, scattering brains, hair and blood
over the top of the bed and against the
wall. His wife left him a few days
ago on account of bad treatment, it is
said. Smith was insanely jealous Of
her, and had quarreled with her before
Her father came for her from Shenan-
doah, Va. last week, and took her
away. He sold his furniture, or a
large part of it, and was living alone.

brakeman on the Norfolk 4 Western

Notes Of the Churches.
CHURCH DEBT RAID.


The pastor, Rev. J. L. Kibler, an
nounces that the debt on the Uvilla
NJ. E. Church South, of 1925, men
toned some months ago, has recently
been extinguished, and that provision
is also being made for the finishing
touches-painting, pointing, wire
screens for the windows, etc. a few
months ago a committee was appoint
ed to raise the money by private ap-
peals in a quiet way. The committee
is composed of Messrs. D. ". Hen
bricks, C. J. Unger, C. c. Hinkle and
V. P. Hill. They have done their
work and the whole church rejoices in
the result. They express profound
gratitude to the members and friends
who have responded so cheerfully to
their appeals. This committee deserves
great credit for their own hberallty,
as well as for their untiring energy IN
the work. This church enjoyed a
gracious revival in the fall, and its
present temporal prosperity indicates
the genuineness of its spiritual quick
ening. The pastor and the whole
church are to be congratulated for the
favorable conditions that prevail at
Uvilla.

places to depth of ten feet and more.

ing great many pelts just now,
Muskrats are caught along almost any
of the streams in this section, and their
hides have a value that makes their
capture quite profitable. They are
caught in steel traps as general thing,
the traps being set along their "runs
either in the water or out of it. Mr..
Miller sells the pelts in New York.
There is a good demand for them just
now, but prices are a trife low and he
will hold his supply until the market
stiffens bit. The demand for skunk
hides is dull at present, and Mr.. Mil
ler's celebrated "farm" is not being de-
pleted to furnish furs for fashionable
folks. He still buys live skunks, how
ever, and will keep them in that odor-
ferrous enclosure until it pays to ship
them.

| AsdAiWdy ANSWS.
In our issue of April l last, when
estimating the prospects for new rail-
way construction in the United States
surprising if the total new mileage OF
the year should exceed 5000 miles,
and it is improbable that it will be
less than $500 miles, That estimate,
at the end of March, was, of course,
made before the season of construction
had fairly begun. 1t was based
entirely on our records and on
our knowledge of the various pro-
jects which were at that time. more or
less before the public. OF these pro-
jects we enumerated at that time,
plans for 375 different lines, with an
ostensible mileage of over 1000 miles.
Guided by our acquaintance with the
merits or dement's of each individual
the sheep from the goats and make
our own conjecture as to what would be
built and what not. 1t is some testi-
mony to the completeness of our re-
cords that now. when the year is half
gone and when three months Of active
construction have passed, it is impos
sible to make our prediction more &C.
curate than it was in March last.
The actual amount of new track laid
in 1898 up to this writing is ISL. go
miles. This is more than has been laid
in the first SIX months of any year since
1892. The track laid this year has
been more than double that laid in the
same period of 1894, and nearly double
that of the first six months of either
1895 or 1897. In lS92-the last year of
prosperity before the panic-the con-
struction up to June 30, was 1857 miles.
The new building up to date this year,
therefore, is within 200 miles of that
of 1892.
The construction in the last half of
each year is, of course, greater than in
the first half. In only one year Gin the
last ten has the construction up to Juae
80 exceeded 33 per cent. On the doc
trine Of averages, therefore, it is pro-
bable that, with 1181 miles already
laid, there will be over 1000 miles of
new line added in 1898. But it is not
necessary to have recourse to an ar
gument based on averages, for the
work is now actually in progress on
lines enough to bring the total up to
over 5000 miles
The geographical distribution of the
new lines being built is always mat
ter of interest. Slightly more than
half the new track laid so far this year
has been laid west of the Mississippi
river-or 666 miles out of the total of
ISL. OF the remainder, laid east of
the Mississippi, 15S miles only are
north of the Ohio river and 351 miles
south of the same line.
Eight states show over sixty miles,
