A NEW FEATURE

I'm the Rock Island Personally Con-
Quoted Weekly Excursions.
Always mindful of the comfort of
their patrons, the Great Rock Island
route has again come to the front with
a new feature in connection with their
popular personally conducted weekly
excursions. All through tourist cars
on their personally conducted excur-
sions are now provided with the illus.
trated weekly periodicals, viz: Life,
Puck, Judge, Leslie's, Harper's and
Illustrated London News, fresh each
week, for the free use of their patrons.
They are placed in substantial binders,
properly marked with name of periodi-
cal, etc.
This is a distinctive feature of the
Rock Island tourist excursions, and
will no doubt be much appreciated by
the travelling public. The Rock Island
excursions are up to date in every par.
ticular.

HEAVY WOOL MOVEMENT.


Condition in London Prompts specula-
tive Buying.
R.G. DUN & Co.'S weekly review
of trade says:
British disasters in South Africa
have brought to view something be-
sides the steady Surveillance of the
English people, and that they hold not
many American securities to be dis
lodged in any time of alarm, but are
uninclined to take more stocks, and
money looks for safe investment. A
little decline of 10 in wheat and mo
in corn does not hinder exports, though
it is some evidence that growers think
they have ample supplies.
Atlantic exports of wheat for tive
weeks have been, -four included, TO-
$50, 500 bushels, against l8, 182, 6S1
bushels last year, and Pacific exports
2,713,551 bushels, against S,9l7, 4S4
bushels last year. Western receipts
of wheat have continued heavy, but
have not rivalled last years extraordin-
ary outpOuring, amounting to only
S5, 958, O87 bushels in five weeks,
against 40, GAO, 791 bushels last year.
The enormous sales of wool at Boston,
81, 557, 500 pounds reported, making
rs, S68, 700 pounds at the three chief
markets for the week, are extremely
important. That not all is for con-
sumption, as the trade is naturally
tempted to believe, may be true, and yet
actual purchases by the mills of half
that quantity would imply extraordin-
airy encouragement respecting the de-
mand for wooden goods. The prices
have been generally advanced to an
average scarcely below that of May,
1892, and for Ohio washed, light and
dark unwashed and pulled wool slightly
higher. Expectation of higher prices
at London prompts much speculative
buying, but the demand for wooden
goods is also undeniably encouraging.
Cotton manufacturers have also been
in great demand, with prices constantly
rising. 70.

A Burglary Story.

They were telling burglary stories"
ON the veranda in front Of the grocery
store in q down-east town The
mans hand was thrust through the hole
he had cut in the door," said the star
talker, when the woman seized the
wrist and held on in spite Of the stus.
giles of the man outside. In the morn.
ing the burglar was found dead, hav.
ing cut his own throat when he found
escape impossible; but the brave wO
man had not known he was dead, and
30 had not released her grasp on hi,
wrist all night long" "Huhp
growled the skeptic in the corner;
"why didn't she feel OF his pusle'"-

Twin Chickens.

Twenty-Five dollars tor pair of
spring chickens is a liberal price, yet
a Massachusetts, farmer rejected it.
His pair of chickens, he thinks, are
quite unique, for they are twins, five
weeks old, and it is said that two
chickens born from a single egg have
never before been proved to live beyond
eight days. The buff brahma hen laid
rather large egg, but no one thought
much about it until one morning the
farmer saw two bills instead of one
trying to break out of the she'll. He
quickly removed the egg to the kitchen,
extricated the twin chicks, wrapped
them in cotton batting and placed them
in the oven. For three weeks the
chickens were kept in doors on a diet
of matted milk and brandy dropped
down their threats with q medicine
dropper. The twins are now hale and
hearty and run about the yard as Wig
orously as any of their comrades.
One popularity, however, distinguishes
them from their mates. They are ex-
elusive little aristocrats and neither
of them will associate with any other
chicken except his twin.
