Chicago Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO. July 1O-A continuation of conditions prevailing yesterday caused a bulliSh sentiment in the corn market to- day and September closed ssdI higher. September wheat closed N higher, oats 5s dA up and provisions 15Q5Oc higher.
 Influenced by strength in coarse grains, wheat opened firm and with light offer
 ngs the marekt continued to rule firm throughout the day. Trade was moder- ate. the crowd continuing to favor corn and oats as promising better results to buyers under existing hot weather con- ditions. Demand was mostly by shorts. while commission houses were the princi- pal sellers September opened, Ad1ac ily. closing 5s higher at S4A, the high point of the day. Seaboard reported 10 boat loads taken for export and clear ances of wheat and flour were equal to 371,0Oo bushels. Primary receipts were 740.00O bushels and Northwest receipts were l99 cars, against 13S cars last week and 165 year ago. Local receipts were 66 cars, with 2 contract.
 Exceedingly hot temperature over a large section of the country created ex- citement in the corn pit at the opening. There was an enormous demand, both local and on outside account early and it was hard to execute orders, as scarcely any corn was on the market and what was for sale was held by those waiting for great profits. Heavy realizing on the advance caused a sharp decline but on renewed buying prices rallied again. Sep tember opened 1sMs4 to 7sG1c higher at 49si to Soc declined to 49i4qi92s. rallied to jO9s. held fairly firm and declined to 49A d4Oss. rallied to 0oss held fairly firm and closed %q& higher at 49%.

 Provisions opened steady at a firm un- dertone. The damage to corn and oats by heat and the drying up of pastures had a stimulating effect. Offerings were light with a moderate demand for invest ment account. September pork ranged between $l4 and S14.42. closing soc higher at 1$440 September lard sold between SS 621sdS65 and $s.7O. closing higher at $S.6717.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. July 10.-There was very little doing in the spot cotton mar ket today. Buyers were looking about as usual. but showed no disposition to trade. The latest downward turn in con- tract prices has had the effect of infus~ ing greater measure of caution into the purchasing element and bids are accord ingly being made somewhat below the level of quoted values. Factors, however are holding on we'll Tor full previous prices. Sales. 1,250 bales, including 400 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 Tn the market for contracts there was a moderate measure of activity this fore noon. though most of the trading was in the way of October engagements. Liver pool was unchanged for spots, but fell off 3-64a4-64d on contracts, presumably under the. influence of the withdrawal of support from this side. The first call figures indicated a break of Sa11 points from last evenings level, except for July. which was points up. Later un the market eased off gradually until the close When July showed a loss of 13 points, Au- gust 12 September IS and the other months 14G16 points each compared with last nights closing.

xACE FOR BRIDE BEHIND
 KENTUCKY THoRoUGHBREDS.
Miss Tipton Gave Rivals Each an Order for License and Married
 the Winner.

Louisville Special.
 cBen" Altmont's Kentucky thor oughbred beat James Graves's blooded mare In a race across the country and 50 won bride for Altmont.
 The men had been rivals for the af- factions of Miss Mayme Tipton Of Mount Sterling for two years. They met with such equal favors that Miss Tipton this morning gave each a note tp the County Clerk asking that mar riage license be issued for his marriage to her. The one that reached the of flee first and returned with the license was to be the happy man.
 The Clerk lived ten miles from Mount Sterling, and each man started for the Clerks home. driving at the best pace his horse could set. Altmont wen the race by 100 yards. and when Graves reached the Clerks office he found that the license to marry the girl he loved had been made out with the name of his rival upon it.
 Altmont drove at a run back to Mount Sterling and this afternoon mar ried Miss Tiptou in the Episcopal Church,

London Financial cableeram

NEW YORK, July 10-The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock market today was much more cheerful than yesterday, but it was rather reaction from weakness than anything really specific in the way of improvement. Business was only moder- ate. save in the American department. which was more active than lately. The strength and buoyancy exhibited in New York yesterday decidedly demoralized the local bears and today there was a fresh crop of bulls particularly in Atchlson. The continent was only slight seller. New York buying gave an early boost to Louisville. which was talked of as going on a per cent. basis. On the of- ficial opening Atchison was sold heavily. causing a flat finish. Louisville and Nashville alone maintaining strength. The weakness was partly due to talk about Western heat wave. Money rules steady Tomorrow G6000,O00 is due on the last consol issue but 1t is expected that money will be cheap. as the Government must disburse large amounts.

The board Of county commissioners
of Logan county have ordered that the
personal tax roll Of the county be pub
lished annually about this time Of
year. This viii surely be an effective
way Of showing who the tax dodgers
are and viii make them shoulder their
share Of the expense Of government.
1t wiz be an inducement for every man
to put IN to the assessor the full ana
cunt OF property owned. The same
action by the commissioners Of Sher-
man county would no doubt bring sew
eral hundred dollars more into the
county treasury each year, for it is safe
to assert that Sherman county has its
share of individuals who avoid paying
their just portion Of personal tax.

WHAT PA DOESN'T KNOW

Most every day when I'm at school
The teacher tells rs things
About the birds and animals
And presidents and kings,
And then, at night, when I asst pa
If what she says is 50.
he reads his paper right along
And says ''Oh. I dunnoF'
One day she told as that the world
Is round, just ike q ball,
And that there's nothing down below
It's standing on at all
I asst pa If she told the truth,
He read his paper, though,
And put his feet up on a chair,
And said: "Oh. I dunnoP'
And once the teacher said the sky
Amt heavens floor, and tried
To make Us think no angels walk
Along the other side,
And so that night I asst my pa,
And all he said was: "Oh,
Don't bother me about such things
I'm busy-I dunnoT'
I used TO kind of think somehow
That my pa knew lot
But that was wrong, or if he did
I guess that he's forgot.
Since I've got started into school,
Most every day or 50
1 hear about hundred things
Pa doesn't seem to know.

ians and Astecs, all were versed in
astronomy. They corrected time, pre-
dicted eclipses and fixed dates by as
Economical observations.
But it may be asked how could a star
ego before them and stand over a
place" etc.Y The study and applica-
ton of astronomy calls for astronomi-
cal instruments. The telescope, the
compass, the chronometer, the sex
tant, etc. The location Of any ship at
sea and Of any place on land can be
fixed to a hair line, and as to minutes
and seconds Of both latitude and lon
gitude.
The ancients must have had astrOnO-
micaI instruments. Another objection
may be raised. This being the case,
that the Magi could calculate both
time and place, why did they inquire
at Jerusalem? They knew that the
Jewish prophets fixed the place IN a
general way, and besides the weather
may have been stormy and cloudy,
rendering observations impossible.
We have no quarrel with those who
believe the guidance was miraculous,
but think it preferable not to lug In
miracle where none is required by the
narrative. Luke gives US the miracle
of the angels; but Matthew speaks to
US of men of flesh and blood, of rec
ords, of place and of a star. If Luke is
taken literally, why not Matthew? Why
not a star mark the birthplace Of ''him
who teIleth the number Of the stars
and called them all by name?"
A star was the metOphOrical and
hieroglyphical emblem for prince. 1t
is found upon ancient monuments. 1t
was employed in Balaam's sublime pro
phecy. The closing salutation Of Re
violation is: 81 am the root and the
offspring of David, and the bright and
morning star" In the Church of the
Nativity at Bethlehem there is a crypt,
| lighted by a silver chandelier, and be-
meath it in the granite floor there is a
silver star marking the spot where the
worlds Redeemer was born. Was ever
faith more abundautly verified! "TO
him that Overcometh and keepeth my
works unto the end, I will give power
over the nations; and I will give him
the morning star; will give him my
self"
Astronomers tell US of a variable star
called the "Star of Bethlehem" which
some think marked the birthplace OF
the Redeemer. Angels appearing tC
Jewish shepherds might guide the Isra
elite to the place Of the nativity, but
world-knOwn prophecy, fixed date and
astronomical observation might mari
time and place more forcibly TO al
alien cult, and verify the advent Of the
"desire of nations" to a world.

THE sCHLEY DECISION.

Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila
bay, stands up for Admiral Schley, the
hero of Santiago. That is natural and
sensible, and agrees with the majority
sentiment of the American people. The
two great unknowns on the court of
inquiry, while they acquit Schley Of
the charge of cowardice, bring in
verdict in favor Of bureaucracy and
red tape and find against Schley on IL
points. But the points the people
think the most of are: Schley went
out to find the Spanish feet; he found
them; he smashed them; and sent
down to Davy Jones' locker the last
one Of the pick Of the Spanish navy.
And for this victory in the most re-
markable naval conflict in the history
of the world he deserves full credit,
and should have the full emoluments.
In this scene Sampson only looms up
as a pigmy standing on a pinnacle Of
preferment viewing the scene from a
distance.
For the two old gentlemen of the
court on the other side of the question
there is a kindly regard. They couldn't
help it. For decades the law of their
being has been red tape. They never
commanded a fleet of ironclads and if
they ever fought a battle the public is
in profound ignorance of the fact.

Bryan Critieises the Message.


W. J. Bryan, in the Commoner Of last
week, comments on President RooseVelt's
expression of regret in his message over
the death of Queen Victoria and Empress
Frederick, while failing to sympathize
with President Kruger. in his bereave-
ment. Mr.. Bryan says:
an the conclusion Of his message Mr..
Roosevelt refers to the deep and heart
felt sorrow occssioned in the United
States by the death of Queen Victoria
and Of the genuine sympathy of the
American people because of the death of
the empress dowager of Germany. Mr.
Roosevelt might have added, without
doing the least violence to the truth, that
the grief Of the American people because
of the death of the wife of President
Kruger and the American peoples SYM
pathy with the bereaved president Of the
South African republic were no less sin
cere than the grief and sympathy felt
because Of the death Of either Queen
Victoria or the empress dowager of Ger
many. Such an expression from the
president would have been entirely
appropriate, because the empress dow
ager was the widow of a dead emperor.
while Mrs. Kruger was the beloved wife
Of a living president"
