WHILE the prospect for an immense
crop OF wheat has never been better,
the prospect for good prices Is not so
encouraging. The option monopoly
fixes the price long before the crop Is
produced. With tie wars and famines
we have, and the prices the consumers
must pay, wheat ought to he worth
twice as much on the market as it is.

A Bride is Never Nervous at the Altar.

The humorous and unusual expert
ences in the life of metropolitan cler-
gyman are told by the Rev. David Nj.
Steele, of New York City, who has just
written about Some People 1 have
Married" for the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. Mr.. Steele declares that the pros
pective bride is always nervous until
the time for the marriage ceremony,
when she is calm and collected. The
groom is exactly the reverse: always
cool until he comes to face the clergy
man, when his nerves invariably give
way.

The most successful stockmen of
Texas will not employ man on their
ranches who drinks. They find such
help too expensive ,as they are not care
full enough with.the stock. The Texas
cowboy must be sober man, at least
while at work on the plains. And thus
the temperance cause advances and in
places where we least look for 1t.

BOOKEEPER and
TELLER GONE
Absence of These Officials From
Merchants National Bank of
Lowell Since Thursday Night
Leads to.lnveStigation

Lowell. Oct. 19.-Albert G. Smith, teller,
and Lewis K. Swift, bookkeeper of the
Merchants National Bank, have been
missing since Thursday night, and their
absence has led to an examination of
their accounts.
The directors of the bank held a meet
ing that lasted till early this morning,
and as a result made a statement to the
erect that the banks interests are not
affected. The statement is as follows:
THE bank is absolutely sound. The
first knowledge that we had of any trdu-
BILE was in the failure of the men to APP
pear at the bank this morning at the
usual time. That fact alone in a bank
would call for an investigation. We dom
know what the examination has revealed.
1t has not been completed as yet and will
not be until tomorrow. final statement
will be made at that time"
The teller and bookkeeper were in
Lowell Thursday night They left their
respective homes early in the evening.
and, so far as is known, said nothing to
their wives as to their intentions of leav-
ing the city.
The missing men have held positions in
the Merchants National Bank for num-
Der of years. They are among the best
known young men here. Their disap-
pearance was not known to the public
until after the bank had closed. The d.
rectors are prepared for a brisk demand
for money in the morning, and the presi-
dent, A. G. Pollard is authority for the
statement that the bank will be able to
pay out $4,000 or more If it becomes
necessary.
The officers of the bank are: President,
Arthur G. Pollard; vice president, Charles
F. Aver; cashier, Walter w. johnson;
directors, William H. Anderson, Acasa
Pratt, William Shepard Albert F. Mich
oils, Michael Collins, Joseph L. Chalfoux,
Charles F. Aver, Arthur G. Pollard, Henry
Runels, Charles s.. Liley.
Experts have been working on the books
all day and night, and will continue to do
so until the last account has been ex-
amined. Private detectives have been
placed on the case.

DR. LORIMER WILL
LEAVE BOSTON CHURCH

Boston, Oct. ia letter from Rev.
George c. Lorlmer announcing his final
decision to resign as, pastor of the
fremont Temple Baptist Church to ac-
cept a call from the Madison Avenue
Baptist Church, New York city was
read tonight at the prayer meeting in
the Temple.
The resignation was accepted. 1t
was expected that DR.. Lorimer would
be present in person but instead the
letter was sent and was read in a
voice choked with emotion by Deacon
Wentworth. In his letter DR.. LorimeF
said
''While the Madison Avenue commit.
tee are ready to release me from any
promise implied or otherwise, they can
not see than any new light has beer
thrown on the vital question at issut
And neither can they believe that OF
the whole it is not best for all Interests
concerned that ] should reaffirm m!
resignation and remove to New York
1t is not necessary that l retrace the
steps by which this conclusion was
reached, but only to add that l have
come finally to agree with the com
mittee, and, therefore, while thanking
the Temple church for its manifold
kindness to Mrs. Lorimer and myself
and realizing that l never can repa!
all the affection that has been shown
me, and yielding to. a growing sens
of duty to New York, request hon
orable dismission from the pastoral
position which / now hold and bel
leave to suggest that this separation
take effect on the last Sunday In DC
tober."
As Deacon Wentworth read the lette
slowly, often stopping to conceal hi
emotion women began to weep. Praye
meeting then resolved itself into
church meeting and after severa
speakers had voiced the general senti
ment of bereavement felt by the church
at DR.. Lorimers decision, a COMMITTEES
was appointed to prepare suitable
resolution and make early arrange
ments for a farewell meeting,
A motion was then made that thu
resignation be accepted and after con
sidering it's previous action, the mo
ton prevailed.

hears it. Girls are encouraged to row
and ride, to run and romp in the inter-
est of their own physical well being, and
for the general advantage of the mothers
of the future.
THE ONE THING NEEDFUL.
Such girls make the healthiast and
happiest of women, with one provision
they must begin womanhood Alright.
When the womanly function is hrst
established it should be under perfectly
healthy conditions, otherwise soon or
late diseases of the womanly organism
will result, and this opens the door to
boundless suffering.
The first lesson which every girl should
learn when she comes to womanhood Is
that her general health is inseparable
from the local womanly health that
womanly disorders and arrangements
known now only to herself will in time
publish themselves to all her sex, in the
hollow cheek, dull eye and pain-creased
brow. To the young woman ii-egnlarity
is only form of physical discomfort.
To the experienced it is an indication of
functional arrangement which calls for
prompt cure. II is neglect or delay at
such times which often leads to the
establishment of chronic diseases.
woMAN's BRsr FRIEND.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
medicine prepared especially for womans
use, and is designed TO cure diseases pecu-
liar to women. 1t is particularly adapted
to the use Of young women because of its
great tonic and invigorating properties,
and also because it contains no harmful
ingredients, being entirely free from
alcohol and from opium, cocaine and all
other narcotics. It is a medicine that
cannot disagree with the most delicate
constitution. Hundreds of thousands OF
women whose cures represent every cur
able form of womanly disease, give their
testimony to the perfect establishment
of the local and general health by the
use Of vFavorite Prescription"
