A WONDERFUL TRIP.
J. ?. Campbsll's Hero Goes BY Wagon
From Frisco to Arabia.

CIVW EIlbcO W hIhDlH.
John Preston Campbell has written
new novel, He writes concerning
it:
Il am hoping to better my financial
condition so that publisher may be
secured for putting forth Of my work.
"Nor is this all that | have written
as yet remaining unpublished. |
! will mention one more prose work
which is believed to be of much
value, entitled 1.-The Waters Of Life.
This is purely secular work, having
to do with earthly existences, and
may be outlined as follows: A young
man, Amnel, son Of a wealthy English
lord and lady, having arrived at the
age Of majority was called into their
London parlor one evening. The
father informed his son that "a long
line Of distinguished ancestry ap-
peared to make it requisite that the
young gentleman become an English
parliamentarian.' The youth aston
ished the father and mother by in
forming them i wish to come into
my fortune. Igo abroad in the world
to accomplish destiny Of my life.
"Great fortune was placed at dis
posal of Amnel. He departed for
San Francisco where he organized an
immense wagon train, setting out in
pursuit Of The Waters of Life. He
believed that there existed a spring
far to eastward of the Desert of Synd'
in Arabia which if found and its wa
tiers partaken Of, would renew ones
life upon earth unlimitedly. Before
setting forward he married a certain
Lotetha Wilmard. He furnished her
with 'gilded equipage' drawn by
sixteen spirited horses and accompan-
led by numerous assisting maids.
The equipage was agilded home upon
wheels. Amnel, the husband, SO
wise vert forth at each nightfall upon
black and dashing charger to study
the stars, to commune with nature,
to master the secrets Of the universe.
"Journeying eastward, rivers were
bridged, oceans were barged, enemies
vanquished by the intrepid and dar.
ing Amnel, all the time the neglected
wife worshiping him.
"After eighty years Of journeyings
were passed and after the train had
become reduced to a handful Of wag-
ons, the spring was reached. Amnel
visited it. A dark angel standing
guard undetermined as to propriety
Of drinking Of the waters, so punished
her heart in worriment that she sick
ened and died. An angel, the same
white angel of the spring, directed
her soul to the gates of Paradise.
Amnel, after the body was buried,
returned to the spring, partaking of
its waters. Instantly and by some
mysterious transition the human ma
ture was changed into that Of death
less being, doomed forever thereafter
to wander upon and live within the
earth"
The author asks the question, at
end of the work as to which met with
the greater reward, namely, the neg
lected wife, or the wise and imperial
Amnel who never yielded his thought
or mind to that of another. His
readers are left to Judge for them
selves according as they may wish for
the ending.

The stock market insisted in advancing
yesterday despite the belief held by many
bulls and bears alike that it would react
after the week of advances. The record
OF this past five market days has been
entirely remarkable when it is considered
in connection with the pessimism on every
hand a week ago. Nobody seemed in
clined to buy stocks and the bears were
numerous. The predictions were that
prices were bound for the bottom at
rapid rate. The small voice of the opti
mists who pointed to the well nigh perfect
conditions and advised buying on all reac-
tions was little needed. Beginning on a GER
tain day, when, If anything, the street was
more Respondent than ever before, the ad-
vance began and since that time it has
continued without reaction and with almost
no hesitation. Every day the street talk
has been that q break would come and
every day instead there has been further
excellent gains. The outlook for the re-
mainder of the week is hopeful. 1t is ac-
any time now owing to realizing of profits
but, on the other hand, there are many
who believe that those who expect this
will be disappointed. The technical condi-

profit taking over the holidays for this
reason. On the other hand, the bears

New York, June 2S.-The situation as re-
vealed by the weekly Government report in
detail is quite satisfactory. Some of the
bull element lay stress on a few COM
plants, but fail to remember that these
reports bear but a small proportion to the
whole, and have always been current in
all seasons.
Nearly all conservative firms, while quite
unanimous on the present outlook for the
crop. are bearing in mind that the critical
period will be experienced during the next
eight weeks. Poor June accounts are rare,
however While most traders are still
inclined to the bear side, caution is advis-
ed, until further crop progress has been
made. The tendency at the opening to-
day was upward one TO two points on fair
buying, encouraged by sales of 10. 600 bales
Spots at Liverpool were very hopeful. before
long reports came in of good rains in a
number of sections, and prices broke two
to five points. Spots at Liverpool un-
changed, and futures one-half lower.

The Chicago wheat Market.

Chicago, June est looked Tuesday as
if the urgent July liquidation in wheat had
been completed and it looked even more
so today. That in itself would have kept
prices steady. Prices were also helped
by better cables and by the first sugges-
tion from the Northwest of situation not
altogether satisfactory. A good authority
wired today that spring wheat was going
to prove a disappointment to those who
had been optimistic. Phces here at one
time were up 1-2c to 5-Sc, not holding very
well, however. Northwestern arrivals
showed some falling off from recent fig
ures, but there is still almost a million at
primary points compared with less than
100000 bushels year ago.
