No one made reply. The rough
men began to feel ashamed--not of
their action against the widow--but of
sentiment which sprang up in each
of their breasts. To be thought weak,
to waver in anything was merely to
hold themselves up to contempt.
Not a man liked to say what was in
his mind for fear Of the others.
Tuckwell, the general dealer, the 10.

IHE action of the athletic authorities
OF the Universities of Michigan, Chicago
and Illinois In Withdrawing from the field
dav exercises at Chicago because of the
participation therein by Maybury and
u hcbems OF the Wisconsin team was an
ACT or robustness and spitefulness hardly
10 be expected IN men of intelligence and
repres entatlves of seats of higher educa-
ton. Every feature OF the case betrays
malice and JEALOUSY and 10 no way can
their action be construed as honest in
tentlon. The trouble lies in the super
l'rity which Wisconsin has displayed
during the last few years; not only in
athletic contests but 10 intellectual COM
, bats has she been winning repeated vic
tories, She has outstripped her west
err rivals and they have banded to-
gether 10 boycott to hide their inferior
lty. Stagg presents sorry spectacle
pleading for pure athletics after bis
action last fall when his college was de-
feated ID football by Wisconsin. Michi-
! gan joined the other two Universities IN
refusing to play base ball with Wisconsin
the past spring because Wisconsin play
ers were accused OF being professionals
and at the same time played Wolf. man
who was with Ludington's professional
team last summer. who played IN this
city and wrote here this spring asking fol
terms TO play with the local nine this
summer Butler. also OF the Ann Arbol
team, played with Ludington. The
Michigan management knew OF these
cases but they demanded that the Wis
consln team should be held to strlcte
compliance with amateur rules than they
felt 10 honor bound to obey. Wisconsin
was In TAR way to WIN the field day con
tests at Chicago last Saturday for tn
third tine. Charges against May bury

Badger champion with the weights, wer

is Letter benefactor or is he male
factor OF mankind? The answers will of
course be rs diametrlcally opposite as the
earth's poles, according to the way the

the price of wheat. To show how wide

HE May wheat corner, IN many re.
spects the most gigantic wheat corner on
record, broke on the last day of May
when Letter, the latest Napoleon of fin
ance, withdrew his support of the same.
Wheat took a tumble of fifty cents per
bnshel. What folly TO maintain that the
advent of the republican administration
had anything to do with the high price
of wheat. Neither was the law of demand
and supply very pronounced factor in
the case. 1t was clear case of skillful
manipulation by desperate but eminent
ly ehrewd gamester, in which be staked
and won all. What the sum of Letters
gains Is will probably never be known
but one thing is certain another multi
millionaire has been added to the list as
the result OF the May wheat corner.
