Trust Makes Sudden Advance OF
Ten Cents Gallon.

Chicago, Ill.-(Special.)- )-Manufactu
figures as an important raw material,
were in a furry all over the country
this afternoon and they kept the teie-
graph and telephone lines warm in their
frantic attempts to secure themselves
against record breaking market fidc-
tuation. At both branches Of the Amer
lean Linseed OH companies marked up
the price OF linseed oil to 20 cents. or
the highest figure known since the in
fancy Of the industry. Before noon the
price was so cents. This advance of 10
cents per gallon is the largest single
price f1uctuation ever known in linseed
oil and is about the equivalent of 40
or so cents per bushel advance in the
price Of wheat
Coming at the season of the year
when the movement of the new crop of
fiaxseed from the farmers of the north
west has but just begun, it has caught
every manufacturer in the country by
surprise. Possibly all of them had beer
expecting 35 cent oil. The result has
been that they had reduced their stocks
to the lowest possible point. All of
them will have to come to the new
state of things, providing the prices are
maintained, if they are to get their pro-
ducts in the market in time for next
springs distribution. All interests con-
cede that the control of the situation is
centered in the American Linseeed
company. The outside concerns quickly
came up to the American company's fig
ures and were selling freely all the
afternoon. Flaxseed is now selling at
$1.S2, or an advance during the last
ten days of 35 cents per bushel.

$1,000 GOLD BRICK.

ottumwa, Ia.-(special) = Thomas
Dougherty, a wealthy farmer residing
near Abba, loaned $1,000 to stranger,
taking as security two ''gold bricks" :"
The stranger said his name was G. L.
Moore of Arizona, and that Dougherty
was a long lost uncle, who was heir TO
valuable mining property in the west.
The 1000 was necessary to procure title
to the property. The gold bricks were
formally tested by an alleged assayer

Republicans and Democrats Do a
Little Forecasting.
New York.-(Special.)- Large num-
ticians are trying to figure out the ef-
feet on the voting of the reception ten
dered Colonel Bryan in this city. The
democrats are very much encouraged,
the republicans feel absolutely no fear.
To the Mckinley manager the effect ap-
peared much like that of a brass band
or an hurrah-cheerful while it lasted,
but soon spent.
Richard Croker, now the acknowledge
ed Bryan leader in the state, promptly
announced that Greater New York will
give Bryan $4,000 plurality and that
Bryan would carry the state by $4,000
plurality. B. B. Odell, jr., the chairman
of the republican state committee, said
that Bryans meetings would really help
the republicans, and that Mckinley
would have a plurality of 100000 in
the state. This is the first time that
Odell has given out figures.
The republicans hope to eclipse the
Bryan meeting and destroy any good
effest it may be giving his party by
the Roosevelt reception, which takes
place October 25, and they hope to
overshadow Bryan's second reception
October 27 by the sound-money day.

WHEN ALL COONS LOOKED
ALIKE.

The coons turned out en- masse last
Friday night at Music Hall. There
were old coons. young coons. black
coons and most any old kind of coon.
Everybody enjoyed themselves to the
utmost. There were few ladies' who
would turn the wife Of a Zulu chief
green with envy at sight Of the many
and varied articles of adornment, such
as curtain rings, lamp fixtures, ETC..
and there was one engineer present
who reminded one of the old song
which runs thus:
There was an old niger
And his name was Uncle Ned.
He lived long long time ago.
He had no hair on the top Of his head
Right where the hair ought to grow"
Then we noticed several other rail-
road men who were conspicuous for the
heavy growth of caplllus, for in some
instances twas little "off color but
there are red headed darkeys, too.

The crowd was treated to a genuine
old way down south hoe down from the
first named couple. The cheers with
which the spectators responded was
deafenlng. Supper was served at E.

Of "Home Sweet Home broke 1t to

would have our last dance for this year

ANTICS OF "BOBS" ON THE DEAD LINE.

Saturday Evening Post.
The spectacle of Lord Roberts,
shriveled and 10. plunging into the
smoke and struggle in South Africa
and emerging with 1.-THE gartern in one
hand and dukedom in the other is
exhiiarating and suggestive in view
CT dead -line.at-fifty" discussion.
Roberts, az an old man, who had fought
his battles and won his medals, who
had all to lose and nothing to gain,
stayed at home during the early weeks
Of the war. And younger fighters,
Methuen and Butler, set out on the
search for easy glory. What they got is
painful history for England.
Roberts and Kitchener younger
man was expected to do the big things
were sent out as an eleventh hour
hore. For a fow weeks Kitchener's
picture loomed large in the papers
then he dropped out of sight And in
the end it was Lord Roberts, 90 years
past the dead line, who fought out the
war.
1t is futile to lay down general laws;
folly to apply them to individuals. Yet
the dead-line fifty heresy has been
accepted as gospel by so many people
that ii is worth following ~, with
'Bobs" as beacon. Undoubtedly
there is dead line. Some men have
already passed it at 30; others never
reach 1t till they follow a Clergyman
feet first out Of church.
A young business man is naturally
In touch with the new methods that
revolutionize trade every few years in
these rapid times; but the older one
who keeps up with them is his equal
and his superior by the weight of his
added experience. For the professional
man whose study lamp still burns, so
is buta milestone on the road to greater
power And for him there is always
something to be won and new way 10
win it il the old one will not do. At
70 he is learning and planning and
executing. He is climbing trees, like
Gen. Wheeler, to see what the enemy
is Up to-; or drumming up wheat, like
Mr.. Armour, to freeze out the other
youngster; or planning a great Home
Rule programme like that lively octo-
genarian, the late Mr.. Gladstone. The
ability to see new conditions and to
meet them is the secret of youths power
in the world today. And SO long as a
man has that ability, the years count
for nothing. You can draw dead line
behind him, but you can't catch and
push him over it.

cessions,r in the Century, Charles r.
Lamb says on the subject of the flag in
decoration:
The Stars and Stripes. though not
the most successful piece of decoration,
can still be so treated as successfully
to combine with any scheme, but TO do
this it should te massed over doorways
OF stands, or. il used separately, should
be nurg repetitively from the windows
along the entire line of parade. prefera-
bly, on one Of the upper stories, so as
to give a continuous line of red, white
and blue from house to house.
The American flag is not impossible
of successful treatment; we have
already begun to initiate the French
manner of raging small flags in an up
right position from common base, and
repeating these groups at intervals;
hut the trioolor bunting is one Of the
most difficult to use satisfactorily, be-
cause the equal proportion Of red to
blue is not a fortunate color combina-
tion. 1t would therefore be advisable
that the committee in charge should
select those symbolic colors which
would be appropriate, and use them in
such quantity as would give definite
color-soheme to the entire line. The
suggestion made by the National,
Society of Mural Painters this tse
naval colors, blue and white, reinforced
with gold and natural green foliage,
should be used in the Dewey reception
parade was probably the first recogni-
tion given of the necessity of other
colors than the patriotic red, white and

writes Maria Parloa of ''The Cure of

Home journal. Fermentation and
putrefaction develop rapidly in vege-
table and animal substances if they
are not carefully watched. Lime and
charcoal are two aids toward keeping
the house sweet and dry, and the
housekeeper should, if possible, pro.
vide herself with both of these ma.
terials. A barrel each of lime and
charcoal in the cellar will tend to keep
that part of tie house dry and sweet.
A bowl of lime In a damp closet will
dry and sweeten it. A dish of charcoal
in a closet or refrigerator viii do much
toward making these places sweet The
power Of charcoal TO absorb odors is
much greater directly after it has been
burned than whom it has been exposed

and again by heating il tc red heat.
The lime must be kept in place whore
there is no chance OF its getting wet,
and not exposed to air. ~
