The Bad Lands

In its widest scope. the arid region of
the United States comprises half the
territory of the entire country; for to so
great an extent must irrigation be EN-
pioyed either as primary or secondary
factor in the cultivation of crops. From
about the 96th to the 99th meridian there
Is strip of about $50 miles in breadth
which Major J. w. Powell calls the
Sub humid" tract. Within it there is
an annual precipitation sufficient to in
sure crops, but the precipitation is so
disproportionately bestowed, and at
such irregular intervals throughout the
year, that the seasons OF successful
farming are interspersed with long and
disastrous droughte; reliance. therefores

JACKS ARE OPENERS
The Court Saw the Point When His
Little Nickel Went

Goldheim & Grouse, saloon keepers
were on trial in the police court this
morning for maintaining gambling de-
vice, to wit: slot machine. This ma
chine Is one of those contrivances with
small glass case at the top, containing
five decks of cards, fastened to small
wheels. When nickel is dropped in the
slot these wheels revolve in opposite
directions. By the revolution different
cards are brought into view, and they
finally come to stop, displaying five
cards. 1t is the object Of the player to
get as big a hand as possible.
A royal flush calls for IS, and the
hands dwindle down to a single pair,
which calls for a cigar.
Officer Talbot, who arrested the sa-
loon keeper, testified that he found the
machine in the saloon. He did not
know whether or not any one had used
it lately, but he could hear the rattle
of coins in the kitty
Goldheim testified that the machine
was out of order and had not been used
for nearly year, although he had left
it in the saloon all that time.
How is it out Of order? Is the slot
still open so that money can be dropped
2" asked Magistrate Ellis.
'"The slot is open, but all the wheels
do not revolve," replied the saloon
keeper
"Open it, Mr.. Bachtell, and see If you
can discover anything wrong" directed
the court. Assistant City Attorney Bach
tell tried to do as the court told him, but
was unable.
Magistrate Ellis dug down in his pock-
ct and drew forth nickel Handing the
coin to the attorney, he said:
Drop this in and then see what you
can do"
Mr.. Bachtell took the nickel, dropped it
into the slot and waited. Two Of the
five wheels went spinning around, while
the other three remained motionless.
Finally the two wheels stopped and dis
played two jacks.
Now, see if you can open it," said the
court.
'Oh, yes, can open it now," said the
attorney, but, after shaking the machine
vigorously. he said he guessed he would
have to pass it up. Turning to Goldheim
and scowling fiercely, Mr. Bachtell said:
What kind of game are you running
that you can't open the pot on pair of
jacks?"
did you have pair Of jacks?" asked
the court, as he gazed at the machine.
Turning in his chair, he remarked that
he did not know much about the game,
but he had always been taught to be-
lieve that Jacks were openers
Goldheim & Grouse were discharged

DESIGNER OF OUR FLAG
His Grave at Last Located in Green
wood Cemetery

After years of search, the grave of
Captain Samuel Chester Reid, U. S. N,
who designed the present American flag,
first hoisted on the capitol in 1878, has
been. located beyond a doubt. The dis
covery was made by Joseph N. E. Bur-
nett of the Reid Monument association.
After the death of Captain Reid, which
took place in the naval hospital on
Flushing avenue, Brooklyn. January
2S, 1861. the body was placed in the re-
ceiving vault at Greenwood, where it re-
mained six months. In the meantime
Captain Reid's two brothers bought a
lot bordering on Cypress avenue and
Zephyr path. Captain Reid was buried
in the center. There are four other
graves in the lot, all unmarked, and it
was a question which Of the five is Cap
tain Reid's.
In making his inquiries, Mr.. Marchant,
who has been employed at the cemetery
AZ years, informed Mr.. Burnett that he
remembered selling the lot and advis-
ing that Captain Reid be buried in the
center, which was done. A suitable
monument will now be erected over the
grave.
When Captain Reid designed the flag
there was dispute as to whether or not
a stripe should be added for every state
He suggested the addition Of star, and
also the words, "E Pluribus Unum.''
Captain Reid also designed the code Of
signals, established the present light
house system and the Sandy Hook pilot
system. He was at one time collector Of
the port of New York He was given a
vote Of thanks by the state of New York
for saving General Jackson's life at the
battle Of New Orleans. New York

CHICAGO MARKETS
z gesterday's Transactions on the Board
Of Trade

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-Infiuential news was
scarce at the opening In wheat. The un-
expected f1rmness at Liverpool was the
most prominent feature. The course OF
that market attracted great deal of at
tention and was directly the cause of the
opening advance here. Prices for May
ranged from 90A@90N. against Saturdays
final price of 90h. A little realizing by
scalpers caused momentary drop to 90ss
19O%, which represented the low point Of
the day. Buying carried the price stead
lily upward, and about noon 91A was bid.
Liverpool showed from %Q1d advance at
the opening here, although 1t had started
at a slight decline, and that advance was
in the main held to the close. A New York
house reported bids received from Mann
helm. Germany. and Antwerp, Belgium, for
wheat at cents above what they were
willing to pay q few days ago. Argentine
wheat Is usually shipped heavily to these
countries, and 1t was inferred that offers
from the South American country were
falling on. That was given as the ex-
PLANTATION of the strength at Liverpool also.
The visible decreased 1,025, 900 bushels. leav-
ing the total at 81. 900 bushels, against
a total of 52,459,000 bushels at the same
time last year. The big decrease lent ad-
ditional strength to the market. The
worlds shipments of wheat and -four last
week were officially reported at 100000
bushels, without any from India. The
previous week they were 4.S5O,00O bushels,
and year ago 900 bushels. The days
domestic exports of wheat and flour from
Atlantic ports equalled 800, 900 bushels. Dur
ing the last hours trading little realizing
was done, sufficient to cause reaction to
90N@91. the market closing steady at that
price.
Corn was very dull. May ranged from
291s@2s% and closed shade lower at
2S7s029
Oats were fairly active for awhile, but
became quite dull toward the close. May
ranged from 23%@23ss, and closed a shade
higher. at 23%@23%.

ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wal
Street

NEW YORK, Jan. T.-Stand shares
show fractional improvement on the
day, except In the case of some shares on
which special influences were operating
IN their favor. and IN these the improve
ment was more marked. The dealings
were widely distributed and the tone gen.
orally healthy. Stocks sold Friday and
Saturday on the ground of possible for
eign complications, were repurchased to-
day, the total dealings amounting to near
ly half million shares.
London and the continental bQurses were
sustaining factors, although the purchases
Tor foreign account were meager, as the
local market outstripped the foreign in
itiative toward higher level. -
sugar In enormous transactions made
net gain of Y, although in the earlier tran
sactions there was considerable weakness
noted In that security. The old subject
was brought up of what the result of
Hawaiian annexation would be with free
importation of Hawaiian sugar, and the
probability that by midsummer there
would be competition between sugar re-
nneries now being erected. Stocks of
properties located In the Pacific northwest
were generally benefited by the belief that
they will secure much traffic owing to the
Klondike boom. Oregon Railway and
Navigation company had earnings from
July 1st to Nov. Both which are said to be
very large. Burlington, st. Paul. North
ern Pacific and Union Pacific were strong.
The fact that New York and Chicago are
lending money on the London and con-
tinental markets continue to be favorable
factors. The foreigners SO far have lioui-
dated their debt for Americas unpar-
alleled exports only to the extent of re-
turning some American securities. The
bond market showed a falling Off in tran
sactions. but considerable undertone of
strength was evident and was reflected in
substantial appreciations In many of the
usually dormant issues. Seattle. Lake
Shore and Eastern first trust receipts
jumped seven points on reported competi-
tion for control of the road, .but subse-
quently lost one-half of the rise. The ag-
gregate sales were $3,525.000. Government
PONDS showed heaviness, the SIS and new
