IT Is WHEAT NOW
Bulls are Playful or the Chicago
Grain Board.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2&-Wheat played
high jinks on the Board of Trade to-
day. The little grains OF food prov
ender had additional value pumped in
to them - fast that they set the whole
Board wild. Four and a half cents a
bushel were added to the price Of the
day before and sales running up into
millions OF bushels was proof positive
that the buying Juror had jumped out
of New York stock markets and landed
in the Chicago wheat pit.
Seventy-nine and a half cents a
bushel was the top notch for May. The
closing figure was 777s cents, but even
that was 27s cents better than the close
the preceding day. 1t was II cents
higher than the price month ago and
II Is not considered the limit by any
means. Dollar wheat Is predicted by
the bulls.
Wall street was held responsible for
the greater part OF the rise In price.
Men who made money in stocks In New
York speculations were said to have
furnished most OF the buying energy
for the wheat market here. Convinced
that they had squeezed most OF the
profits out OF stocks that they could
safely get for the present, but equally
convinced hat higher prices were to
obtain generally, the big Eastern spec
ulators began to look for another field
for their operations. Grain was the
thing that suited them best. All con-
ditions for 1t were bullish; the range
OF prices has been comparatively low.
Wall street took Its accumulated stock
winnings and placed them on another
game, and 1t is winning again.
The minute that II became clear that
New, York men were buying heavily,
every one else began to buy, too. That
was where the bull enthusiasm came
In, Brokers on the Board of Trade
held their cards full of orders. There
was a rush OF clerks and shouting OF
excited buyers and sellers, and prices
jumped again and again. Once or twice
they fell little, but again they would
recover. With the closing price at 20
cents Wednesday, the buying OF May
wheat began today at 75% cents. 1t
rose to 76as cents, then dropped to 76
cents for little while. After that 1t
forged steadily ahead until the high
water mark of 79h cents was reached.
Then there was a sensational fall to
TIN cents, after which q gain OF "
cents brought the closing figures.

German, before our people will resent

IN FIRST DEGREE.

William Woods, the colored man who
was bound over from the district court
fer killing his wife, Mary Woods, was
indicted for murder in the first degree,
and for trial of this case two presid-
ing justices will be required, at a spe-
cial term of the criminal court. One of
the presiding justices will probably be
Chief Justice Albert Mason, and he
will choose the other later, when the
date for the holding of the special
criminal term win have been set.
1t will be remembered that the affair
in which Woods is implicated took
place Nov. 18th. Woods is alleged to
have thrown lighted lamp at his wife,
Mary A. Woods. Her clothing was set
on fire, and, as a result of the terrible
burns which she received, she died two
days later, in great agony. The indict-
ment charges Woods with killing his
wife, with malice, constituting murder
in the first degree. When called to an
swer to the charge, Woods pleaded not
guilty in firm and unwavering voice.
Sullivan & O'Connell will conduct his
case when it comes to trial.

The Summer Street
Church.
PROBATE COURT
viii Be So Petitioned By
City Missionary Society.

And still the contest between the City
Missionary Society and the Summer
Street Congregational Church goes
merrily on. Papers are being made out
in the office of the counsel of the City
Missionary Society for petitionng the
probate court for authority to sell the
church property of the Summer Street
Church
Some time ago it was given out that
the City Missionary Society would file a
petition in the probate court for a
construction of the will of the late
Ichabod Washburn IN regard to those
clauses bearing directly upon the be-
quest for the carrying on of mission
airy work at the Summer Street Church.
The will itself as it claimed specifi-
cally names the Summer Street Church
and to sell the property REQUIRES the
approval of the judge of probate. Now
the real line of battle is revealed. and
the Summer street people are soon to
confront the situation of having their
church property sold for them.
The City Missionary Society has been
waiting, with the hope that the Bel
mont Street Church and the Summer
Street Church would eithe,. unite or
come to some peaceful agreement but
this has not occurred, and today the
two parishes are estrauged forever
Holding the trump card to the last the
society Will now deal with the recalci-
trant Summer Street Church through
the courts, and to this end the peti-
ton will directly pray for permission
from the probate court to sell and
dispose of the Summer Street Church
Some years ago the court was appealed
to in this matter, and as -;embers of
the City Missionary Society, say the
court after hearing the petition. gave
the necessary order Tor the sale of the
property. However some ARRANGEMENT
was entered into ut the time and the
sale never took place. 10 guard against
all contingencies the court will be
again petitioned on the same lines.
The summer Street people, Through
their pastor, the Rev. O. G. Bailey
strenuously oppose the interference of
the City Missionary Society. and al
ready counsel have been consulted by
the leaders of the church with a view
to contesting the petition for the sale
or the church. Hollis *. Cobb, who
belongs to the City Missionary Socie-
ty, appears in behalf of that organic
alton, and the Summer street people
VIII announce their attorney when the
petition is filed, which will proba bly
be the case with one or two weeks.

OFFICIAL SALARIES.
City Treasurer's Office to Cost $4,000 for
Ensuing Year

Ensuing Year
Every year some feature of the SAL
airy bill for municipal officers causes
considerable comment in city hall cir
cles before it is reported by the com
mlttee on finance, and this year is no
exception. Members of the city coun-
ell are discussing the probable salary
OF City Treasurer Fred w. White for
the current year. There have been in
teresting decisions on the salary of the
city treasurer for the last few years,
particularly last year, when the salary
OF CITY Treasurer William S. Barton
was reduced from $500 to $4,000.
The agitation, this year, is that City
treasurer White should receive an in
crease to $500. AS assistant city treas
urer last year, he received $4,000, so
that the cost of the office for the sala-
ries of officials alone was $4,000. City
Iraeasurer White intends to perform
the duties Of the office until fall with
out an assistant, so that he will thus
save three-fourths of the salary given
the assistant treasurer. If he chose, he
could secure an assistant for the entire
year, and, with the salary remaining
as it is, the cost of the office would be
9oVVO 1oF the year. IL City treasurer
White carries out his intention, tC
