CHICAGO-The strength OF the for
eign wheat markets and the belief that
impending 'hostilit!es will cause a rise
In prices, made wheat to-day almost as
strong as 1t was weak yesterday, and
resulted In an advance OF two cents In
July. Foreigners accepted freely OF
yesterdays cable offers. Corn made the
unusual advance OF &c while oats clos
ed BGAc higher, both markets being
affected principally BY wheat. Provis-
ions show little change. !.
Traders in wheat we're treated to n
genuine surprise at the opening. In
spite OF oil tho selling done here yester-
day, millions OF bushels by the import
ant long interests and Notwithstanding
the drop Of three cents a bushel In
July, all foreign markets came higher.
Liverpool In particular was strong.
showing advances ranging from 40
I'D. a feature OF the advance at Liver
pool was the fact that the July price
there was twenty-five cents higher
than the prevailing price in this mar
ket. or considerable above the average
shipping rates. New York reported that
acceptances OF wheat In all positions
made by cable from there yesterday
were the heaviest OF the season, prac-
tIcally everything offered being taken.
It was evident from this that the belief
In war overshadowed everything else in
the minds OF the foreigners The open
Ing trades in July were at from Si% q

market hesitated. Then 1t commenced

the buying demand was simply enor-
nous. All classes of traders came into
the market for wheat. Il was not 4
one man market; the demand was
general and broad. The ordinary news
of the day was as completely ignored as
It was yesterday. Traders paid but little
attention TO anything but the foreign
demand for American wheat. but this
was sufficient. Not until the price had
advanced to S77sc was thereany marked
selling pressure. This price. however,
was well above calls and selling against
privileges, coupled with liberal rca liking
OF n general kind put stop to the adj
vance and caused the market to reccdc
sowly to S6&c. Apparently by this
time the demand for wheat had been
pretty well satisfied. for although the
market reacted to S71tc, It was done
slowly. the latter point not being reach
ed until about 1l:3O o'clock. During the
last hour the short Saturday session
the market was comparatively quiet
but firm. with prices keeping within a

ROMANCE OF THE KLONDIKE.
Man Returns from Gold Fields, Finds
His Wife Had Secured Divorce,
and Remarries Her,

A romance of the Klondike is re-
vealed at Macon, Mo-, in the office of
the county clerk. About a year ago
NJ b. Ayers, q prosperous stock man,
sold out his holdings in that city and
went to the gold fields, despite the pro-
tests of his wife Mrs. Ayers, who
Is young and good looking, became
convinced that she would never see
her helpmeet again, and she at once
applied for n divorce. In March last
decree was granted on the plea of
abandonment.
When Mr.. Ayers returned from the
gold fields last week, he brought s2O.-
600 in gold dust, his profits in a deal
In a mining claim near Dawson CITY.
But instead of finding a yearning wife
awaiting him, be was confronted by
her decree of divorce. The Klondiker
would not be put off, however. He
sought out his ex-wife, showed her the
color OF his gold dust, insisted that his
intentions had always been right and.
as an outcome, license has been Is.
sued for the remarriage of divorced
couple.

INDIANS FIGHT BICYCLE.
Puya1lup Reservation Near Tacoma,
Wash, May be the Scene
of Trouble.

The Puyallup Indians of Pierce coun-
ty, Wash, are making war upon BIZ
cycle riders. President John NJ. Bell,
of the Wheelmen's association, has APP
pealed to the county commissioners for
protection. The principal bicycle path
of the northwest, connecting Tacoma
and Seattle, passes through the Puyal-
lnp reservation, and some of the more
intelligent young Indians at the gov
eminent school have abandoned the
cayuse for the bicycle.
In the present difficulty these young
men are working with the Wheelmen's
association to punish the enemies of
the bicycle. AT first the Indians
INSTRUCTED the path with brush and
stones, following this move by telling
trees across the path. This aroused
the white wheelmen TO a high pitch of
indignation. At this point the Indi-
ans began threatening the younger
members of the association. The In
dams have become holder and have
chased several bicycle riders off the
reservation.

FAST BEING DIFFERENTIATED.
Extent of the Catch of the PeIagfc
Sealing Flcet-Small Catch By
Regular Company.

An authentic report regarding the
pelagic sealing feet has just been re-
ceived in San Francisco. Among the
poachers that have made the largest
catches were the following: Enter
prise, $50 skins; Minnie, 400; San Di-
ego, 673; Theresa, 800, and Otto, 727.
These skins, being excluded from the
United States, are shipped to England,
where the rookeries on Commander
duced rates.
In consequence of the persistent
work of the poachers, who are fast
discriminating the seals, the North
American Commercial company's catch
this season is only $4,000 skins, as
against 100000 annually for 20 years,
up to within the last eight years, when
pelagic sealing commenced. The same
inroads have been made in the seal
herds on the Japan side of the ocean,
where the rookeries on Commander
islands, leased to the Russian Sealskn
company, are located. This company
has taken this year 1900 seals, as
against an average of $4,000 seals an
nually for 90 consecutive years, up 10
the time of the beginning of pelagic
sealing.

coRsErs KILL A COMEDIAN.
right-Lacing Responsible for the
Death OF bernhard Rank, the
German Actor.

Corsets, 1t is believed, caused the
death of Bernhard Rank, the German
comedian.
For years Rank played women's
parts on the stage, which necessitated
his wearing corsets. He was engaged
by the Germania theater, New York,
and became known as one OF the best
Saxon dialect comedians in the coun-
try.
His corpulence and age made the
task of shaping his waist on the fem
mime pattern especially hard for Rank
this year. He had always complained
of having to wear corsets.
"If I was a woman" he said, Il
would never wear them. / know how
uncomfortable they are and how in
furious, too, and If I could 1 would
start an anti-corset crusade"
The Germania opened a week ago,
with Rank in woman's role in "The
Corner Grocer of Avenue A.
He had been on a vacation all sum-
mer, and his corsets bad to be laced
extra tight. He suffered much pain
and ascribed it to the corsets. He
went to physician about It, but Sc
cured no relief.
Later the actor was attacked with
severe pains in his side. He stayed In
bed all day. When his servant went to
rall him al 6:3O o'clock in the evening
he was found dead.

PIN WAS IN HIS LUNG.
Exercise on Football Field Probably
Saves Students Life at
Ansonin, Conn.

Fred Ward, student at Taft pre-
paratory school in Watertown, a few
miles north of Ansonia,- Conn, swal-
lowed the blowpin from an airgun at
his home in New Haven last April.
The pin lodged in one of his lungs,
and almost Immediately he began to
fail. Several physicians were consult
ed, and everything known in medical
science was done TO remove the pin
or relieve him, but it only resulted in
failure, and Ward was threatened
with death in consequence.
The young man is ambitious, how
ever, and determined to continue his
studies. At the beginning of the
school year at Taft's he made his APP
pearance and joined his class. Before
the accident he was a great lover Of
football and other athletics, and when
the team was being made up at the
school he went in for trial.
On Wednesday he was practicing
with the team and taking violent ex-
ercise. Suddenly he was attacked
with a fit of coughing, and after the
most violent effort he spat up the
blowpin. Since then Ward has felt
no soreness of the lungs, his appetite
has returned, and his health is i'm
proving.

In New York city, he says, there are

of this Indifference he found that the

REPRODUCES COLOR.
McDonough's New Photographic
Process Put to Test
Proves q Great Success I'm the Prep
aration Of stereopticon Slides
Science Deeply In
ferested.

The McDonough color photography,
! used In the preparation of stereopticon
slides, proved to be great success In
the public test made at the Field mu-
scum, Chicago, the other day. The
colors as they appeared on the screen
blended perfectly. In the experiment
the most difficult colors were dealt
with, dull gold being the most in evil
dence. The pictures reproduced were
of jewelry and vases taken from the
pyramids Of Egypt, and supposed TO
have been placed there with Queen
Aahotep 1000 B. c. Twenty specimens
of the curious oriental workmanship
were exhibited on each slide. The col
ors shown were gold, carnelian, lapis
lazuli and violet. The photographs
had been taken from color print page
ten by twelve inches in size. The pic
lures were thrown on an immense
screen.
The slides were used In the illustra-
ton Of lecture on "The Pyramids of
Egypt" by Prof. James II. Breasted,
of the University of Chicago. lie spoke
enthusiastically of the new discovery
in photography which enabled him to
present a scene in the colors of nature. |
"Color photography is of incalculable |
importance In future culture" he said. |
ITO be able TO reproduce nature in its
original color Is q matter Of such great
import that It cannot be given ade-
quate expression. To show the colors
of nature in the tropics with its beauti-
full effects is an achievement Of sur
passing Importance in the scientific
world. II is the fruition of science,
the elimination Of scientific endeavor."
Prof. C. T. Millspaugh presided, and
many members of the university were
present i. Burton Holmes was an in
terested spectator and expressed the
belief that soon all plates for stere.
opticon use would be made by the new
method, which seemed superior TO the
Did. II. T. West, secretary Of the In
ternational Color Photography COM
Dany, represented those who are devel-
,ping the McDonough process. The
scientists at the university are par
icularly interested in the isochromatic
'lates and pronounce them invaluable

The extraordinary requests Of DR..
Burt &. Wilder, professor of histology
In Cornell university, made in circular
form, to numerous great men of New
York city and elsewhere, that after
death they shall permit their brains
to be sent to Cornell for scientific pur-
poses, is said to have met with num-
Der of favorable replies.
Upon the death of the maker of such
a bequest the documents In the case
are to be sent to the relatives of the
deceased, and, no objection being
raised, the desired organ viii be
claimed and removed. 1t is calculated
that the benefits to science resulting
from this enterprise will be great.
