PLENTY OF WHEAT.


New York. March; Or. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, Is
sued today, was expected to say In
part:
Little change was developed this
week in the condition of general busi-
ness. Ground recently gained seemed
p be held without difficulty. with n
good distribution of merchandise by
jobbers in most directions. and with
entire absence of speculative activ-
lty. There has been further decline
In cotton, which does not help the
goods market, still the most backward
and disappointing Of all the great in
dustries, but In mechanical lines the
progress being made Is noteworthy.
Building materials. including lumber,
are in especially urgent demand. and
dealers who can deliver stock have,
no difficulty In securing advanced
prices. In this, unlike most other
lines Of business, the east leads the
country. and just zt this season 1t Is
of particular significance. Collec-
tioDs are reported good all through
the west and are better than usual
at the south.
Conditions In iron and steel begin
to assume an appearance similar to
that Of 1899. Prices have moved up
ward rapidly since the turn was
made, and bids at current rates for
distant delivery are often refused.
Manufacturers are unanimous In re-
porting great demand for domestic
consumption, while export contracts
for finished forms are still taken in
competition with declining foreign
markets. 1t is at such time. when
the outlook is brightest and quota
tions advancing sharply, that the con.
servative man becomes cognizant. Of
one fact, that there is always danger
of imitation when optimism goes be-
yond bounds. Granting that there
is not cloud on the horizon, 1t is
well to remember that exports Of
iron and steel have been smaller Of
late and yet the present production
Is far in excess of domestic consump-
ton, even allowing moderate In
CituSc oNel pitNiouS sSdip. iouuS-
tion of coke expands, and shipments
are only limited by car shortage.
Two large failures in wool occurred
abroad, and three Vermont concerns
were forced to suspend. Sales OF
wool at three chief eastern markts
decreased nearly 100000 pounds.
compared with the previous weeks
business, but this is n favorable
symptom, as excessive operations OF
late were due to forced sales at lower
prices.
Wheat is in abundant supply. with
quotations well above last years. ow-
ing TO reports that Hessian fly prom
ises to be unusually troublesome,
while weather conditions are also
threatening. Atlantic exports of
wheat. -four included, were 2,477 $50
bushels for the week. against 1,7S1.-
s95 year ago; while corn exports
were 1857 ,43S bushels. against 2.1S3.-
21S in 1900. Heavy supplies Of cof-
fee at last prevailed over manipula.
tion and prices declined.
Failures for the week were 208 In
the United States, against 2O5 last
year, and 20 in Canada, against 33
last year.

OF THE RAILROAD
ASSESSMENT.

Before the board of supervisors adj
journed last Saturday, the following
resolution was read and adopted with.
out dissenting voice, being spread on
the minutes as a part Of the official rec
ord Of the session:
We, the Board of Supervisors. of Decatur
county, Iowa, disapprove of the ac,ion of the
Executive ouncil and pass the following res.
olution: Resolved
LIST. That the action OF the Executive Coun.
Gil in discriminating against the tax payers OF
Decatur county, and in favor of the railroads
to the amount of slss,96G is unjust.
I'd That the Executive council did great
injustice to the tax payers of Decat ur county
by increasing the assessed value of Decatur
county 3per cent
Sd. That in view of the fact that railroad
stock has been selling at "a cents above par,
that said railroads have been greatly favor, d
in having their assessed value reduced z per
cent. kespectfully submitted to the tax pay
ers OF Decatur county. q, ": BARR,

Board OF Supervisors.
The Taxpayers of the county viii Ger
tainly look with pride on the action Of
our board who are not afraid to express
their sentiments on the outrage against
the common taxpayers which is per-
petrated by the executive council in
making the railroad assessment at the
present low figure as compared with
other property. Right is right, rail
roads should be compelled to pay theil
just share of taxes, and the time is com
ing when they will have to do so. The
fight is being taken up all over the state
by the papers who are not under rail
road control and the people are aroused
on the subject of railroad taxation.

Conversational Committee Listen to
Physicians' Testimony in the
BOOz Case.

Bristol, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE congress
sional committee investigating the
death of Cadet Booz, which sat until
midnight in Philadelphia. was up
early Saturday and was in Bristol be-
fore nine o'clock, ready for work. In
fact, the committee was ready to go
ahead before the witnesses had ar
rived.
DR.. William FL. Martin, the Bristol
physician who examined Oscar Booz
as to his physical condition previous
to his entrance into West Point, was
the first witness. He was merely
asked to identify the report he made
to Congressman Wanger, who APP
pointed Booz to the military acad-
envy. He was followed by DR.. Willis
p, Weaver. of Bristol. the Booz fam
lily physician, who did not complete
his testimony Friday.
DR.. Evan j. Groom, of Bristol, who
attended Oscar, said he treated him
last year for acute tubercular laryn-
gifts. The witness thought tobasco
sauce would affect a throat which
had been treated for laryngitis, but
did not believe that it made him less
able to resist the Judgment of tuber-
culosis germs. DR.. Groom corrob-

him, in every detail as to the per-

CHAPTER Xxx.

The Utrecht sailed from Gambroon
touched at Ceylon, and proceeded on her
voyage in the eastern seas. Schriften still
remained on board; but since his last con-
versation with Anime he had kept aloof,
and appeared to avoid both her and Phil
Up; still there was not, as before, any at
tempt to make the ships company dis
affected, nor did he indulge in his usual
taunts and sneers. The communication
he had made to Anime had also It's effect
upon her and Philip; they were more
pensive and thoughtful; each attempted
to conceal his or her gloom from the other;
and when they embraced, IL was with the
mournful feeling that perhaps 1t was an
indulgence they would soon be deprived
Of; at the same time they steeled their
hearts to endurance, and prepared to meet
the worst. Krantz wondered at the
change, but of course could not account
for It. The Utrecht was not far from the
Andaman isles, when Krantz, who had
watched the barometer, came in early one
morning and called Philip.
"We have every prospect of typhoon,
sir" said Krantz; ''the glass and the
weather are both threatening"
"Then we must make I'LL snug. Send
down topgallant yards and small sails d.
rectly. We will strike topgallant masts.
will be out in minute. :"
Philip hastened on deck. The sea was
smooth. but already the moaning of the
wind gave notice OF the approaching
storm. The vacuum In the air was about

be terrible; white haze gathered fast,
thicker and thicker; the men were turned
up, everything Of weight was sent below,
and the guns were secured. Now came q

as before; then another and another,
fercer and fercer still. The sea, although
smooth at last appeared white as sheet
With foam. as the typhoon swept along In
Its impetuous career 10 burst upon the
vessel, which bowed down to her eunwale
and there remained; in quarter Of an
hour the hurricane had passed over, and
the vessel was relieved; but the sea had
risen, and the wind was strong. In an
other hour the blast again came, more
Wild, more furious than at first; the waves
were dashed into their faces, torrents Of
rain descended, the ship was thrown, on
her beam ends, and thus remained Till the
wild blast had passed away, to sweep de-
struction far beyond them, leaving behind

Krantz. "It Is clearing up little to

I'VE have had the worst of 1t, be-
lieve," said Philip.
"No; there is worse to come" said a
low voice near to Philip. 1t was Sohrif.

Roberts has settled down to work in

His influence is so great that any meas
ures which he may recommend for the
defense of Cape Colony and for bring
adopted by Mr.. Brodrick Probably
he has not waited for speciatreports
before advising the secretary for war
respecting the conduct of the cam
paign. His presence at headquarters
is source of strength to the govern
ment. There is already more buoy
ant feeling respecting the military
operations.
Nobody can understand what is 60
ing on in the Great Karoo region,
where the bands of marauding Beers
are crossing barren and desolate dis
trict and footing the farms of the poor
white trash" or in Bechuanaland,
where mysterious westward trek is
in progress. The dispatches from
Cape Town describing the landing of
marines and guns and the enrolment
of a new colonial defensive force are
read with amazement. especially when
the invaders are reported to be with
out guns and only ii few hundreds in
strength. While the situation is per-
picking, there is no feeling of anxiety
