the protection of the United States
government was sacred.
Dr. Barrett, while botanizing in the
park wandered away from his party
and lost his way. They had appointed
to meet for lunch at Jackson's Hole,
and, as it was long past the lunch
hour DR.. Barrett started to climb
tree to try and locate his friends by
the smoke o. their campfire. When
half way up a giant beech he saw a
bear comfortably asleep among the
neighboring branches. He returned as
quickly and quietly as he could to the
ground, where he had left his camera,
and mounted again in time to catch a
negative of the bear just as it, awak-
ened by the noise, was stretching it,
self preparatory to escaping.

Another Gave" Storu?

According 10 the Fennimore
Times-Review Mr.. Royal Hoyt and
Miss Grace Garvin of Muscoda were
married in the state historical rooms
at Madison by Justice C. X Tenny.
The Times-Reyiew must be in error
about some OF the particulars stated,
for no license has been issued by Coun-
ty Clerk Dickinson authorizing the
marriage OF Miss Garvin and surely
Justice Tenny would not marry a cou-
pie from Grant or any other county
unless they could show the required
license.

The heartless farmers have also

Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Wheat opened easy fol-
lowing indifferent foreign markets and large
Argentine shipments. The demand was light
and some generous short-selling soon started
the market the down-grade. About the
middle of the session report of damage by
drought and insects to the new crop in the
Southwest caused slight rallies, but the mar
ket was soon weighed down again by a re-
sumption of short selling and liquidation, in
duced by steadily increasing stocks all over
the world. There was a slight upturn near
the close on buying by shorts, who put out
several long lines OF Wheat on the early buges
and took advantage of the decline to buy in
and secure profits. and the market closed with
buyers in the majority. December opened a
shade lower at 7212G729sc, declined TO 722sc rose
to 72$sc, sold off again to 72c and closed with
buyers at 72Ac.
Corn ruled active and strong early, Influenced

Liquidation and sympathy with Wheat caused
it to turn weak. December closed at 31Ac
Oats ruled dull and lower in sympathy with
Wheat and Corn Longs sold freely. Decem-
Der closed at 23c.

the decline was fully recovered before the
close. The foreign demand for cut meats was
greater than packers inclined to fill at
nominal prices. Pork and Ribs closed un-
changed January Lard closed a shade lower.
