THE WHEAT CROP.
The Cause of the Present Big Rise in
Prices.

The Cause Of the Present Big Rise in
Prices.
The New York Commercial has an
interesting article on the wheat
crop. Among other things it says:
"Of course, people on the Ex-
change and dealers generally are
familiar with the causes of the pres
ent rise in prices; but, undoubtedly,
the facts are not altogether familiar
to some outside of this general class.
II is most peculiar combination of
events that have conspired to the
rapid rise. The war, which some
might suppose had most to do with
it, had, as matter of fact, least in
fluence of all. Instead, the princi-
pal causes have been the removal of
their wheat import duties by Spain,
France, Italy and Portugal, whose
domestic supply has been so limited
that bread prices have risen to a
point so high that they have led to
rioting; the prohibition of wheat eX-
ports from Russia; the damage of
the California home crop, small do
mestic available supplies, and the
OOuoVduChV plOpOl llOudl6 llulll6u
supply of the general crop of the
country, and, of course, Letters
corner.
ut is interesting to note the
worlds wheat supply. The total
stock in the United States on May
this year, was only 34,0O0,000 bush.
els, the smallest held at that date
for ten years past, 100000 bushels
below the total held a year ago
$4,000 900 below that held in 1896
and 65,000000 bushels below that OF
May /, 1893. The available supply
in this country and Canada fell of
100000 bushels during April the
heaviest decrease shown in any
single month for long time past
The European situation is as fol
lows: The total held on May |, thi,
year, was 66,900,000, II 100000 largel
than year ago, and 100000 bush
els larger than two years ago, bu
100000 smaller than May /, 1895
The total stock in this country
Canada, Europe and afloat, there
fore, on May was l00,890,000 bush
els smaller that last year at thi
time, 46 100000 bushels smaller thai
on May l, 1896, and nearly 720O0,0O
bushels smaller than at this time il

What a Billion Means.

The following remarkable calcula-
tion on the length of time which it
would take person to count l,000,-
100000 recently appeared in an is
sue of an English periodicals: What
is a billion? The reply is very sim
pie. In England a billion is a mil
lion times a million. This is quick
ly written and quicker still pro-
nOunced. No man is able to count
it. You will count 100 or 10 min
ute. But let us suppose you go as
high as 200 minute, hour after
hour. At that rate you would count
l2,OO0 an hour; 2SS, 600 a day, or lO5,-
10000 in a year. Let us suppose
now that Adam, at the beginning of
his existence, had begun to count,
had continued to do so and has
counted still. Had such a thing
been possible, he would not yet have
finished the task of counting a bill
lion! To count a billion would re-
quire person 10 count 200 minute
for period of 9.5l2 years, 542 DAYS.
5 hours, and 20 minutes, providing
he should count continuously. But
suppose we allow the counter IL
hours a day for rest, eating, and
sleeping. Then he would need 49,
OPS years, 3l9 days, 10 hours, and 45
minutes to complete the task.-St
Louis Republic.

A DANGEROUS PLACE.
The Gunners in the Fighting Top of
Big Battleship.

The Gunners in the Fighting Top of a
Big Battleship.
There are some men who will have
an interesting and exciting time in
the next naval battle. They are the
fellows who will be perched up in
the fighting tops, looking down up
on the hell Of crashing steel and
mangled limbs below and doing
their best to reproduce it on the
decks of the enemy.
The landsman would find an hour
in a fighting top a rather thrilling
experience even in time of peace.
After crawling up little iron lad
der on the inside of a steel shaft
like hollow tree he emerges in a
huge drum with the top off. Look
ing over the side he would find him
self suspended at the height of a
church steeple, with nothing visible
beneath him to break his fall. He
would have the sensation of hanging
in the car of balloon.
1t would be little dizzy even at
anchor in a friendly harbor. But
send the ship to sea with every roll
of her hull multiplied by three OF
four, the top describing arcs OF huge
circles in the swing Of the swell, and
set another ship to shooting at her
from a distance of 1000 yards at the
rate of 5000 shots a minute, and the
landsman might be excused if his
heart should crowd into his mouth
The fighting man in the fighting
top, intently training his machine
gun on any groups of combatants he
may see exposed on the enemy:
decks. may not be troubled by the
landsman's qualms, but even his
seasoned nerves cannot be expected
to ignore the meteoric shower Of pro
jectiles, big and little, that hurtle
by him, the smallest Of which woulC
terminate his earthly existence. A
single one of the larger shells strik
ing the mast below would bring /
down like tree under an ak of tn,
woOdman and plunge the man in tn,
top a hundred feet to his death. Ii
the absence of such a catastroph
the top itself must inevitably b
held by the smaller bolts, and, if /
remains standing when the battle
over, it is likely to contain crew o
cOrpses.
The American navy is full of men
who, knowing all its dangers, vii
undertake this desperate duty wit
stern duty.-New York Sun.

Mans need of God is like the
earth's need Of the sun. This earth
of ours, ready to break forth into its
full spring beauty of green leaf and
pink blossom and burning flower
what would it be without the sun?
1t would be poor, Opaque ball
without light, dried up cinder,
without heat, without color, with
out any glory of spring. Perpetual
night would brood over land and
sea, over mountain and vale. Per-
petual frost would bind all its
waters, making life impossible on
its surface. Such lifeless, cinder-
like thing would man be without
God. Christ brings God tn me and
puts me in living relations with
him, and that means the spring-tide
in every faculty of mine. God
comes out of his hiding place and
manifests himself to me in Christi

JNO. W. CAMPBELL.
Former Columbian Elected Chief of Po-
lice of st. Louis.

Former Columbian Elected Chief of Po-
lice of st. Louis.
The numerous friends here of Capt.
John w. Campbell, who was born
and reared in Columbia, will be glad
to hear that he has been elected
Chief Of Police of the city of st.
Louis, Mo. This is a high honor
and one that Is worthily bestowed.
The ST. Louis Republic, in speaking
editorially of Captain Campbell's S
election, says:
Surface indications favor a con-
clusion that wise cOunsels have con-
trolled the Board of Police Commits
sioners in the selection of a new
Chief of Police.
Captain Campbell, the successor
of old Tige' Harrigan, has an un-
impea "hable record as a police off
GER. He has been prominently
identified with the department for
many years, and for short time
was its executive head. His con-
duct then was not tlnged with the
suspicion of partiality or fraught
with danger to the public interest
by evidence of incompetency.
captain Campbell's election re-
veals an encouraging growth of the
proper spirit in the Police Board; of
desire to act solely with the view
of increasing the efficiency of the
department, irrespective of the clam
orous demands of political self seek
ers.
Captain Campbell will bring tC
the discharge of the duties of the
Office ripe experience, public conf
dence and the good wishes of large
circle of friends"

has been arranged, covering every phase
of League work Not only the four de-
partments-devOtion charity, help
and literary-will be thoroughly dis
cussed from very practical stapdpoir IS

forth by eminent speaker The com
mittee on program has drawn from the
! best talent in the state to make most
interesting and helpful program.
The Lacquer who misses this confer
/ ence will suffer a loss in the way of a
great moral and spiritual uplift that he
cannot possibly afford.

leisure.
The singing will be led by the mimi

Lacquer betake himself to earnest daily
prayer that this may he the greatest

Department attributes the delay in

the difficulty of securing transport

sending only about 100. 1t offers
81, 900 "a day, or $4,000 for the trip,
for the use of vessel. 1t is deter
mined to have ships enough to send

of the Government are not accepted, ,
ships will be impressed into service.
