Chicago, Feb. Fl. = Letter displayed
his trump card Saturday and played it.
When it dawned upon the trade Sat-
urday morning all of a sud-
den that Letter had marketed
much of his 100000 bushels of cash
wheat, the price for May jumped
from .$1.o3A a bushel to $1.o9 with such
swiftness that it took away the breath
of the most composed men on the
board. Mr.. Letter confirmed in a man
ner that permits no doubt that he has
sold at least 100000 bushels of wheat
abroad and that he has engaged ocean
passage to that amount.
When May wheat was $1.O4 Letter is
said to have demanded $1.14 for cash
wheat, and, taking the difference be-
tween SO cents and $1.14 a bushel, it will
be seen that his profits are large.

STORY or A STRIKE.

Illinois Labor Commissioners Report
on Miners Troubles Last Year.
Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 21.-The state
board of labor commissioners has Just
issued lengthy report on the coal
miners strike of last year. The report
says that the strike of 1897, when it's
extent, number of men involved, dura-
ton and RESULTS are considered, ranks
as the most notable Industrial event in
the state. There were involved in the
strike of last year 307 mines and 29, 466
men. In Illinois more men and mines
continued in active service in the recent
strike than in 1894, as was likewise the
case in a number of other states, no.
table in West Virginia, Kentucky and
Iowa. The result was that at no time
during the recent suspension were the
principal markets entirely destitute of
the product. The miners who partici-
pated in the strike have since shared
the benefit Of the advance in wages
which has resulted, while at 80 mines
the men continued to work with a little
advance and at five mines no change in
the price has been made. The average
duration of the strike in Illinois was 81
days. The greatest gain was in the
northern part of the state, along the
region of the Rock Island road, where
prices had been lowest. Miners at
Springfield, Danville and Streator Sc
cured an advance of substantially 20
per cent.

A Horrible Case.

1t has been learned that L. ]. Brown.
veterinary surgeon at Red Wing, has
been giving his entire family morphine
and cocaine. Children ranging from
10 to IL years were found in stupor
and often remained without food for
several days. The whole family was
arrested. The body of a boy 10 years
old was found to be one mass of raw
flesh, owing to the injections. Two
girls were examined and found in near
~ the same condition. The family
was examined in the probate court and
the doctor sent to the insane asylum.

They Are Welcome.

There will be large additions to tho
Dunkards settlements in the Red river
valley country in the early spring.
The Great Northern railroad has al
ready arranged to run three special
trains to St. Paul to accommodate
them. The present indications are
that the new settlers will number over
1900 people. This is larger than the
movement last year, when about 1,500
settled in Northern Dakota. 1t is
probable that the number will grow;
additions are being constantly made
to the number already listed for trans
portation. One special train will
leave St. Paul March %. another March
80, and third one April6. The people
come from Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, In
diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia,

A Live Wnx Figure.

Pere Rattisbonne, an Issaelite who
became a Roman Catholic priest, was
a remarkably handsome man, with an
expression not merely good-natured
but jolly. An amusing incident re-
lated in Mrs. Byrne's Social Hours

OF his outward presentment: One day
the Pere, while in London, went to
Madame Tussaud's Wax Works, and
seating himself by tho c!ockwork fig
ure of Goblet, fell into a reverie.
Three girls came past, and one of them
inquired of the others if they did not
think the figure of the priest wonder
fully lifelike. mo nee so than the
rest OF the figures said one. 81 can't
help thinking he is alive, rejoined the
other. ooh! no said the first; "hes
very natural, but you can see he's only
wax" l belive he's man." repeated
the sceptical one, resolutely. Touch
him, them" exclaimed tie other two
defantly Il don't mind if do" was
the answer, and thereupon, with some
hesitation, the girl advanced a finger
and laid it on his shoulder. Pere Ra-
tisbonne, who had. never moved a
muscle during the conversation the
moment he was touched, rose as If sud-
denly brought to life, and with a clock
work jerk walked away. The three
girls uttered expressions of dismay and
hurried to another part of the room as
rapidly as possible.
