ing Wrongs He Had Done Her..
CANTON, O., April 14-During the trial
Of Mrs. Anna George today numerous
threats by Mrs. George against the life
Of George D. Saxton were testified to by
witnesses. Many of the statements were
coup@ed with Mrs. Georges story of the
alleged wrongs to her at Saxton's hands,
which she told the witnesses in connec-
ton with her threats.
All was not smooth calling for the
state, however. The prosecution had ex-
pected to Introduce a chemical analysis
of the cuticle taken from Mrs. Georges
hand, when she was arrested, and prove
thereby that the discoloration was due
to powder smoke The witness was not
allowed to testify. Another disappoint-
ment was the failure of witness to sat
isfy the court that he was qualified to
judge Of Mrs. Georges writing, and thus
Identify a letter which it was sought to
prove she had written.

WHEAT JUMPS UP.
Advance of 2 IA Cents On
Chicago Board of Trade.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE monthly gov
ernment report on the condition of
spring wheat resulted in a sharp ad-
vance in the price of wheat on the board
of trade today, September, shortly be-
fore the close of the regular session,
selling as high as 711s cents, an advance
of "a cents since yesterday. The mar
ket has been extremely dull for some
time past and the government report,
which indicated a drop of over points
in the spring wheat condition, coming
with the reports Of widespread damage
by storms in the great wheat producing
states of the northwest, caught the
market in Oversold condition and a
buying movement, which started at the
opening, developed into a scramble for
cover late in the session. The ad-
vance was not all held, realizing by
early buyers cutting 3sc off the top
price. The close was strong at 70A
cents for September.
