A WHEAT SCARE
Armour Predicts Unheard Of High
Wheat Prices

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-There was a wild
market on the curb after the regular close,
apparently owing to the Cuban situation.
May, which closed at s1.03A. sold as high
as LOG, closing at $1.05. July was bid up to
81 cents.
Philip D. Armour said tonight: Letter
can put May wheat to s1.50 if he wants to.
He has only to keep still and do nothing;
the shorts will do the rest. There will be
good prices for wheat for another year at
any rate. These matters go in long runs,
years of plenty and then scarcity. This
wheat will go out at $1.25. The turn has
not been alone in wheat, 1t has been in
everything. We took shipping room for
100000 bushels Of wheat for export today
We bought wheat at Minneapolis and are
buying every bushel we can. We are not
hedging bushel of it. We are not afraid
to move wheat abroad without hedging 1t
and to wait for consumptive markets to
follow We expect to see them pass US"

Pay No Attention to United States
Regulations

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 16.-Information
was received today by Collector jackson
that a Canadian sealing vessel was seen
yesterday off brakes bay, and that she

American waters to overhaul and seize the
vessel and bring it to this port

be possible that the sealer had put in to
American waters on account of an accident.
but that he had instructed the captain of
the Rush that If the sealer could not prove

ABILENE TAKES TWO.
Wichita Won the Second Game by
Hard Work.
From Wednesdays Daily.]


In high wind and under threaten
ing skies Abilene and Wichita fought
out the second ball game Of the sea-
son through eleven innings the Eagles
finally getting the odd score. The
game was comparatively even one
throughout. Abilene lost heavily by
costly errors, several of which we're
made by McFadden. Bouldin threw
a good ball but the same luck which
followed him last season by which the
game was lost when he pitched SEEM
ed to remain. Ash and Gwinn made
home runs.
At the close Of the game McFadden
was let out of the team and Rebesman
the crack first baseman of junction

TODAY's GAME.
The third game Of the season was
played this afternoon, commencing
at 1880.
The attendance owing to the change
Of hour was small but those present
saw Wichita wiped off the face Of the
earth in tiptop style. This gave Abb
lene two out Of the three games and
proved its superiority at every point.
But for inexcusable errors yesterday
it would have won all three games.
The Wichita battery was Riggs and
Thurmond. The latter threw a good
ball but in the LIST Ted Price sent a
hot one toward him and trying to
catch it he broke finger. After that
Wichita was pounded all over the
field, several changes Of pitcher hav-
ing no effect. Abilenes battery, Price
and Corbett.
Score: Abilene II, Wichita 10.

ON CHICKAMAUGA's FIELD.
7. c. Davis Writes Another Interest
ing Letter.

Ing LetteI'
CH1CKAMAuGA PARK, Ca, May II.
The soldiers Of Chickamauga spent
most Of their time Saturday in vain
effort to keep warm. Since the rain
of Friday the weather has been un'
comfortably cold and our overcoats
were found to be Of some use, the
first time since leaving Riley.
All over the white tented fields
large and brilliant camptires burned
and, to one who had not previously
viewed a military camp by night, the
scene was an interesting and inspir-
ing one.
The news of Commodore Dewey's
great naval victory was received with
enthusiasm. The first reports were
doubted but when confirmation of the
news was received the camp seemed
to 60 wild with joy.
Recruits are coming in very fast.
This seems strange when they have
to serve three years with che regulars
and but two with the volunteer SER
vice. However, it is preferable for
many reasons to enlist in the regular
service
would like just now to give word
Of warning to those who think they
will find the army a place free from
work and care. You have your dut-
les and they must be done and in
military manner. Discipline is very
strict and you must. understand that
the moment you swear to protect
your country you have no time Of
your own. The officers are very kind
to their men and see that they are as
comfortable as possible. In a word,
if you have good home, a bright
future before you, don't enlist in the
regular service, but II you are spoil.
ing for good fight and the excite.
ment Of army life try the volunteers.
My regiment, the First Cavalry, |
was ordered to Chattanooga the Sd
inst, for the annual May carnival.
Our commander, Col. Veile, took us
over the Mission Ridge battle ground.
The Ridge is high above the city and
a more beautiful scene could not be
presented than that from the summit |
of the Ridge across the valley, dotted
here and there with villages, green
fields and parks, to Lookout Noun
tain which will ever be remembered
by the "Bcys Of 49," Gable cars now
run to the top Of this historic noun
tain where there is fine hotel for the
accommodation Of the thousands of
yearly visitors.
Daily excursions are run from all
parts of the country to our camp and
we hail them with delight for who
would not divide their lunch with
hungry soldier and while it IS being
slowed away listen to the Indian CAM
paigns and hairbreadth escapes that
all Of us have gone through.
! would like to say something in
reply to the article Of April 20 in the
REFLECTOR in regard to officers and
privates pay but being in the service
cannot do so.
We have just been ordered to ship
all surplus baggage back to Riley.
What this order means no one seems
to know but it is supposed that we
will be ordered south soon. Every
one is anxious to 60 and the regiments
left behind will be considered very
unfortunate indeed.
In regard to the report going the
rounds OF South Dickinson that H. S.
Foss had deserted, | wish to say it is
untrue. We are tenting together and
when his time is up June !, he will
enlist in the Sixteenth Infantry.
