IN DENVER,
Two Young People of Laramie Steal a
March ON Their Friends.

1t was learned today that a popular
young couple of Laramie had stolen, a
march on their many friends and had
been quietly married in Denver with
out this knowledge of a single one Of
their acquaintance.
c. w. Weigle and Nellie NJ. Crysler
We're united in wedlock in the Colorado
capital last Saturday evening and re-
turned to Laramie Sunday night. The
fact Of the marriage was not discovered
until last evening, when someone ran
across a list of marriage licenses
granted, in a Denver paper.
The newly-made groom is a clerk in
the office of Resident Engineer Merri-
am, and his bride is the handsome
daughter of Mrs. C. w. Bramel, wife Of
the Judge of the Second judicial dis
trict.

IT WAS A
Story of the Elopement of Mrs. Hattie
Comstock Untrue.

A drunken reporter temporarily en-
ployed by The Republican last week
wrote up a sensational story in which.
it seems, there was no truth. The ar
ticle here referred to was published on
Tuesday and told of the alleged elope-
ment of Mrs. Hattie Comstock.
The truth of the matter is that Mrs.
Comstock went to Jelm to attend her
sister, Mrs. Jud Hance, who was sick;
she went out on the stage, and not at
night and behind a mule team; she left
a note informing her husband Of her
whereabouts, and did no leave the door
of their home open, but locked it and
left the key with a neighbor; she did
not rip to pieces all the pictures in the
family album, and did not wreck tho
furniture in the house. In fact. her de-
parture was taken decently and in Or
der and she is now at her sisters home
at Jelm. Mr.. Comstock and Mr.. Hance
came in from that place last evening,
and both gentlemen are emphatic in
their denial of the sensational charges
made against Mrs. Comstock, and The
Republican is pleased to make this re-
traction of the unfounded and unfor-
tunate statements.

THE EAGLES HEART.

Mr.. Hamlin Garland's most recent
work is a vigorous story of western life,
entitled The Eagles Heart. In this
brilliant story he draws a remarkably
strong picture CT the adventurous life
in cowtowns and mining settlements,
and shows every phase of the agrees
sive existence of miner, plainsman and
cowboy. An absorbing love story is
skillfully woven into the fabric of peril
and adventure.
The Eagles Heart, superbly Illus
trated by Mr.. Harrison Fisher, will be-
gin in The Saturday Evening Post for
June l6, and run through the summer
numbers of the magazine.

They were ]. H. Smith, horse stealing;

IN WHEAT.
Almost Reached the Eighty Cent MARI

Chicago, June 1S.-Wheat scored a
sensational advance today. Wheat for
delivery in July at the opening on the
board of trade at 1855 to 1875 cents, and
under an enormous demand and steadi,
ly advanced in price till a sale was
made at 1895, 1904 cents high
er than the last sale Of Saturdays
trade. The advance was caused by re-
ports alleging the almost total failure
of the spring wheat crop in the Dako-
tas and Minnesota. Men who had
bought wheat weeks ago at a lower
figure today took out moderate for
tunes in profits. There was all but a
panic in the pit. The close was at
7S& tents for July.
New York, June 1S.-An advance of
practically 2 cents a bushel in less than
half an hour put the wheat market in
a whirl of excitement and caused a veri-
table stampede of shorts. A good many
traders were caught unawares. Heavy

the market and not only were the scat
tered offerings quickly absorbed, but
July was bid up frantically from 1875

TESTING CANNED A
Experts Can Tell Their Condition By
Tapping Upon the Lids.

Among the most incomprehensible
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area of Woolwich reserve depot
are the doings of a small party of off,
cials, n Of whom appears to do moth
ing all day long but sit at a table and
tap on the top Of tin canisters with a
couple Of bits of stick something after
the manner of a child beating on the
upturned end of his drum. The tins
are passed before him about as fast as
he can tap them and absolutely moth
ing seems to come of the game. To
the unenlightened onlooker 1t is quite
unintelligible. The tins contain meat
and before they are passed into store
1t is, of course, important to examine
the condition of what is inclosed, and
this, in fact, is the way it is done. The
trained ear of the expert examiner can
tell whether the meat is in a whole
some or a putrid condition by the
sound emitted when raped with the
stick just as the examiner of railway
carriage wheels is supposed to be able
to tell whether the wheel he taps with
his hammer Is cracked or not. The
rapidity with which the business Is
gone through and the seeming mat
tention of the performer with the
sticks and his total Indifference to all
sorts of noises about him render the
procedure a very curious one to watch.
The test is said to be practically in
fallible.-London News.

shoots into the air and the parachute

A German authority has recently an
nounced the discovery of a tree in the
forests Of central India which has most
curious characteristics. The leaves OF
the tree are Of a highly sensitive nat
ure, and 30 full Of electricity that who
ever touches one of them receives an
electric shock. 1t has a very singular
effect upon a magnetic needle and Will
influence it at a distance Of even ev-
enty feet. The electrical strength of
the tree varies according to the time
Of day, it being strongest at midday
and weakest at midnight. In wet
weather its powers disappear Alto
