Chicago. May 3-May corn, the supply
OF which has been cornered by George q.
Phillips, scared to IS cents q bushel to
day, the highest price since August, '98,
when the market touched 81 cents. The
bulge today carried the market cents
higher than the high point yesterday.
Shorts were tendered the privilege OF
covering their contracts when the mar
ket was at 4s cents. Many did so Those
who did not improve their opportunity
sought to buy today. but bid higher and
higher. only to find scarcely any for sale.
Phillips predicted tnat the price would
be 65 cents before the end OF the month.
"This prediction" said he, "is not based
on the fact that the short interest is in q
tight box, but on the fact that the legi-
innate demand has reached the limit OF
production. For years the bears have
kept prices unnaturally lower, now the
bulls are having their innings and the
farmer is getting what his corn is WORTH"
The market during the afternoon
worked back to So cents. and the closing
price was SO 1-2 cents, cents higher
than yesterdays close.

ing of this rod wide strip, which could
be done, if you prefer (and think you
would) by planting this strip lying on
the south and east side of the highway
to trees, and offer premium to the one
who excelled in beautifying this strip to
best advantage at the end Of five years.
To vacate as you propose and require
the adjoining landowner to purchase
same would, or might prove hardship
to say nothing about the expense and in
convenience he would be put to by mov-
ing his fence or replanting his hedge
lines, all of which would needs be done
in order to preserve uniformity of ap-
pearance.
It's better plan to let these old land
marks and hedge lines stand as estab-
lished, and advocate the parking out'
system in connection with your law es-
tablishing gutter lines twenty y-four feet
apart and thirty three feet roadway.
This done and our roads and drives will
take on a more attractive appearance
and in a way resemble tho streets in the
residence parts of our most beautiful
cities, where the parking out" system
has been introduced and which has
proved so popular and attractive to
both the resident and transient visitors.

mencement exercises Of the Stevens in
stitute of technology at Hoboken, when
out of 40 graduates only dozen were
present to receive their diplomas. This
unprecedented condition of things was
explained by President Morton ON the
ground that the demand for graduates
to fill business positions this year had
been the most urgent in the history of
the institute, and that most of the
absentees had been induced to leave the
institute a week or more before COM
mencement, in order that they might
begin their professional duties at once.
President Morton further stated that the
whole of the 40 graduates could have Sc
cured positions at once if they had so
desired. There is no gainsaying the sig
nificance Of such facts as these, and as
like conditions will produce like results,
it is probable that before many years
have elapsed, these young graduates will
have risen to positions which are both
responsible and rative.-National

CONAN DOYLE ON SKELETONS.

81 heard DIR. Conan Doyle tell good
story during trip I made to London
last winter. He said that at dinner
party he had attended, the guests began
discussing the daily discoveries made to
the detriment of people occupying high
stations in life and enjoying the con-
fidence of the business world. DR..
Doyle said that it had always been his
opinion that there was skeleton in the
closet of every man who had reached
the age of 40. This led to lot of dis
cussion, some of the guests resenting
the idea that there was no one who had
not in the past something that were bet
ter concealed.
GAS result of the controversy, DR..
Doyle said, it was suggested that his
views as to family skeletons be put to
the test. The diners selected man of
their acquaintance whom all knew only
as an upright christian gentleman,
whose word was accepted as quickly as
his bond, and who stood with the
highest in every respect. We wrote a
telegram, saying: All is discovered;
flee at once, to this pillar of society,""
said DR.. Doyle, "and sent it. He dis
appeared the next day and has never
been heard from since.''

"PARKING OUT" HIGHWAYS.

have read with interest the views
you have expressed concerning the
proper and best widths for our high
ways, and your proposition to reduce
them from sixty six feet to thirty three
feet, and sell the marginal tract to the
adjacent owners, and thereby create
fund for the constructing and maintain
ing of road bed, etc., etc.
feel sense of delicacy in presuming
to take issue with SO able an exponent,
and especially when your position is re-
inforced by the approval of such dis
tinguished writer's as Wells, of the
Crete Vidette, ct al. But to my mind
the fathers did very wise act when
they established sixty-six foot high
way.
These roads have never, to my
knowledge, proved to be too wide III q
bad, snowy, drifting winter; neither
have they in hot summer day. That
nearly all the road supervisors locate the
gutter lines too far apart, no one will
deny, and one of the things we most
need isl law requiring that gutter lines
shall be laid not to exceed twelve feet
from the center of the road, and this
done, we have road between cutters of
twenty-four feet, which is all we re-
quire. This done, we have twenty -one
feet on either side from gutter to pres
ent line. Then require the adjoining
owner to NOW and keep clear of weeds
the rod wide adjacent; and give him
the use and benefit of this strip, con-
ditioned that he complies with the law.
He would very soon discover that it was
for his interest to make this strip
smooth and set it to grass which he
could cut for hay along his lines, and it
would inspire all to vie with each other
as to who should have the most attract
i've appearance. Would you not prefer
this parking OUT system to the vacat-

POLITICAL NOTES.

"As regards the manifestations of ma
chine government that are visible to the
public, the republican machine of Phil
adelphia is as defiant of honesty and
Justice as the democratic machine Of
The Conservative, 1901-08-29

New York." the Pittsburgh Dispatch
(Rep.) says: "It may even be little
more so, owing to the knowledge that it
has the advantage of having the legis-
lature behind it,
"Those who are trying to lead the
democratic party back to rational views
on public questions ought not to lead it
through the mud" advises the India
napolis News, (Ind.). "Gormon is
man without convictions and wholly de-
void of political morality. 1t is much
to be regretted that he is again in con-
troll Of the democratic party in Mary
land. For his prominence will discredit
the organization and weaken the ten.
dency toward sound and clean politics."
The Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem. )tells
Mr.. Bryan that it is his friend and ad-
mirer, and has always believed in him.
But it "warns him in all kindness that
the rank and file Of the democratic
party-the boys in the trenches-the
men who go to the primaries are
tired of the fatuous bourbonism which
would link the party to the corpse of all
issue which, however vital at one time,
has been killed by the logic of events
and buried under a thrice-repeated ava
lanche of popular disapproval.
Orders have gone out from the repub.
lican machine headquarters in Phila-
delphia that if any division leader who
holds an Office under the city admins
tration does not return a majority for
the republican candidates, he will lose
his place after election. Ward leaders
have impaired the orders to the work
ers, with the injunction that no excuse
will be accepted, with the result, as re-
ported by the Ledger, that place-holders
have become panic-stricken in an en-
deavor to throw the responsibility on
each other for the conditions that exist
in their divisions.
"If Alabama, South Carolina, Louisi-
ana, and other states of the black belt,
which really have negro problem with
| which to deal do not desire to force
congress to act under the fourteenth
amendment, they will promptly show
in practical way that they do not
countenance so inexcusable an abuse of
the patience Of the republican party"
warns the St. Paul Pioneer Press. IF
partisan advantage is to be taken Of the
leniency of the republican majority, and
if Union veterans are to be discrimi-
mated against, there is likely to be a
sudden end to the arrangement which
makes the vote of every southern demo
crat from four to six times more effect
i've in the electoral college and in con-
gress than is the vote of northern re-
publican
eff the business men of the West ac-
cept Tillman as fair type of South
Carolinian, which they are, by reason Of
/ his nnlitical aminence, entitled to do.

In Memoriam.

If you will kindly allow me a little
space, would like to say few words
concerning the close Of the life Of one
whom many in and around Clarksburg
knew and loved, Willie B. Dix Long.
She died peacefully, asshe had lived,
entering into the presence of her Lord
without fear. Three bright little
girls were strong links in the chain
that bound her to earth, but after Civ
ing them up and all pertaining to this
world she smiled and said it was all
right that "God knew best. She en-
tered into her reward March 10th,
1901, after one weeks suffering. All
that husband, friends and physicians
could do failed to keep her with us,
and with hearts bowed down we could
but say, "Thy will be done".
Then came the flowers, the hearse,
the funeral, and the falling Of the
earth upon the caSEet-then "Ashes
to ashes, dust to DUST. A kind sister,
gentle wife and loving mother, had
left us to mourn and to miss her.

kELLAR LOVES HIS UNIFORM,
But the court may punish him for
wearing II contrary 10 law.

Ernest Kellar was before Squire
David, Saturday, upon warrant
charging him with failure to surrender
a priyates uniform, he secured as a
former member of Company K, Of the
National Guards. The complaint was
made by Captain R. L. Osborn, Of the
company. The case was continued
until this Friday. This is the first Of
the kind here and is interesting. The
statute provides that q member is
liable to a fine of $40, upon wearing
his uniform, when of duty and with
out the consent or order of his COM
handing officer. 1t is further provid-
ed, that, II convicted of refusal or
failure to surrender the uniform when
ordered to do so, he may be fined one
hundred dollars and imprisoned in the
county jail one year, besides FORGETTING
to the state an amount double the
value of the uniform. There is con.
siderable complaint about the boys
repleting their wardrobes with gov.
eminent pharaphernalia, and It might
be we'll for them to be more careful In
the future.
