WORLDS SHORT WHEAT CROP.
Prospective High Prices for Food.

stuffs.
From G1:.ton's Magazine.
Reports from Europe indicate a light
wheat crop in England and a still lighter
crop in the southern provinces of Russia
This may not mean famine. but If true is
sure to mean high price for wheat. We
may, therefore. expect to hear within the
next few months that j. p. Morgan or
John d. Rockefeller has cornered the
wheat crop and is robbing the public
through the high price of foodstuffs. II the
American wheat crop is ayeragely good
our farmers will have a very profitable
year. OF course this viii be rather bad for
MIR. Bryan and his party, because ii Will
once more demonstrate that the price OF
silver does not govern the price OF wheat
and that wheat can be high with the gold
standard. But it will be equally failaciouS
for politicians 10 pretend that this is due
to the gold standard or to the administra-
ton. 1t is simply another illustration or
the universal economic law that under
competition the price of commodity in
given market is determined by the cost Of
supplying the dearest portion continuously
demanded. Wheat has a world market,
and the price of wheat viii be largely de-
tefmined 10y the cost Of supplying wheat
liz the country where the crops have been
the poorest and the cost per bushel Of rails
ing and marketing has been, in conse-
quence. the greatest. If the present crop
reports prove true, the cost of producing
wheat in England and F 1ssia Will fix the
world price and our farmers will get the
benefit

Power Of Small Savings.

From the Columbus (Ohio) Journal.
1t Is the fashion nowadays to dwell upon
thu riches OF few great ulti-millionaires
and to make 1t appear that they are abb
sorbing all the wealth OF the nation. It
is true that tremendous concentration OF
wealth has been going on In the United
States in recent years. and surprising
proportion of the wealth Of the nation has
been gathered into a comparatively few
hands. But there Is another side to the
picture. 1t is stated on the highest fnan-
cial authority that but for the loans which
the savings banks OF New York city have
made upon weli-located business sites there
could have been no such development In
the construction OF lofty Office buildings
in that city as has taken place. The craze
for skyscrapers there In the past three
years has been the most notable feature Of
the business sections Of the American me-
tropoiis. yet this great development has
been made possible IN large degree By loans
from savings banks. whose funds repre-
sent the small Accommodations OF Thousands
of industrious and provident working peo-
pie While the nominal ownership and m
equity in these properties are In tAe hands
Of others. the real owners are the great
army Of men and women Of small savings.

boiling or Cooking in Any Form De-
stroys Germ Life.
From Health.

From Health.
A pure water supply is rightly looked
upon as one of the greatest essentials to
the healthfulness Of community. Many
foods. salads. for example, cannot be cook
ed or subjected TO the effects of a high tenn
perature, while. on the other hand, wash
ing them in infected water may render
them the means of conveying disease
Among the chief ways of preventing ty-
phoid fever must be mentioned the care of
the stomach itself. 1t seems highly prob-
able that the natural juices of the healthy
stomach are able to destroy many germs
of disease; but the number which any
stomach may be able to digest must al
ways be uncertain. and It is not desirable
to test it's capacity in this direction. The
fact that only certain persons out of a
number who have partaken of food or drink
infected with disease germs may suffer Is
explainable on the ground of their different
general physical condition, or of the vary
ing stages of their digestive organs. Boil
ing or cooking In any form destroys all
germ life; and food or drink about which
there is question of typhoid infection
should be subjected to one of these pro-
cesses before it is taken into the stomach.

Must Keep Quarry in View.

In all these doublings the detective must
not lose sight of his man for an instant,
or if he must do 1t 1t must be in such a
way that he is morally certain he can To-
cate the man further on Such a chance
is dangerous in any event.
A cardinal principle with the detective
should be to at no time let a crook know,
or even suspect, that he is known or no.
ticed by the officer. Such a recognition or
suspicion would be disastrous. and must be
avoided at all hazards. The detective must
not stare or Scrutinize any crook too
closely and must make a point Of avoid
ing such scrutiny when he Is following
him. at all events. The officer wn) VIII
keep the most successful espionage over

going about his business as unconcerncdty
as the casual passerby, at the same time
keeping track of the crook so surely that
he cannot possibly elude his pursuer
So with every sense alert and every
nerve at high tension, calculating tie risks
of discovery at every step, the detective
follows his prey, maybe for hours. And
when long chase of this sort is ended,
and the victim, still unconscious OF the
shadow that has kept him company, has
been run to ground. the detective can con-
graduate himself on the successful per-
Torrance of a hard piece of work, with a
hope as he mops the perspiraL on from
his brow that the next subject will have
shorter legs and keep on more crowded
streets.

A Sergeant Major.

From among the eight color sergeants OF
a battalion is selected-as a general rule
the regimental sergeant major, the CHIEF
non-commissionea officer of a corps, ana
the man who, in conjunction with the ad-
jutant, is mainly responsible for the main
tenance of that strict internal discipline
without which a regiment is worse than
useless as fighting machine. In his own
realm the sergeant major is absolute. Inc
next step that from sergeant major to
second lieutenant, Is the most important
of all, for it is here that the soldier passes
that mysterious barrier which separates
the non-commissioned from the commits
stoned ranks. To many, too, 1t Is terri
BILE trial. for ii is the custom nowadays
to gazette the newly fledged officer to some
regiment other than his own. AS major
most rankers finish service; but a few,
very few, add a star to the crown upon
their shoulder straps, and become lieuten-
ant colonels; fewer still become fuil col
onels while those who have Actually
served as major generals can be counted

The next step-that to lance sergeant-is.
like the first. an appointment" not pro-
motion. This Is distinction with a diff
ference. A commanding officer can order
lance corporal to revert to private, and
ne forthwith reyerts. So, also, he can in
the same way deprive lance sergeant OF
his lance stripe. and bid him revert to cor
peral. but he cannot degrade a Corporal or
a sergeant. for these are promotions to ac-
tual ranks. and once conferred can only be
taken away by sentence of conrt-martial.
After serving his probation as lance ser
geant for period varying between two or
three months and a couple Of years, the
rising young ''non-com.' finds himself one
day '+in orders for his gold stripes, which
is to say he is promoted full sergeant. He
is now an important unit in that great
family, the regiment and takes more or
less prominent part in the social lie that
centers round the sergeants mess. 1t Is,
however conceded on all hands that the
man who marries while yet mere non
com" forfeits all future hope of combat
ant commission so our typical ranker re-
sists the Establishments of the fair dangn-
tiers of the regiment, sticks tight to his
bachelor quarters, and in due course be-
comes color sergeant.

w. j. Bryan has announced that

days Of publication.
Mr.. Bryan has effected lease of
the basement and first floor of a

lation of the Commoner, said he was
we'll satisfied with the way the sub
scriptions were coming in.
He was not ready, he said, to give

tributors will be on-residents, and
that he will do the bulk of the edi-
torlal work himself. Mr. Bryan's

GETTING READY.
West Virginia Senator's and Congress.
men to Send out Seeds. 1880.

1t will be OF interest to farmers OF
West Virginia to know that their rep
resentativeS and senators in Congress
are now preparing to send out their
quota of garden and flower seeds
Congress has been more liberal with
the agricultural department this year
and as result each member of Con-
gress will receive for distribution
about 5000 more garden seeds this
year than last. The agricultural de-
partmeDt has let out the contract this
week and members OF Congress are al
ready sending in their lists Of farmers
to whom they desire that seeds shall
be mailed. Not many are being sent
out just yet, however, except in some
of the extreme southern states, where
planting will soon be in order. The
agricultural department is very much
interested in the furtherance OF agri-
cultural pursuits, and this years crop
of seeds is expected to be Of the high
est quality. Senators Scott and FL
kins have already sent their lists
about $500 each to the department,
SO that there shall be no delay in
sending them out, and the West Vir-
ginia members of the house have
about completed their lists. Before
the end Of the week West Virginia's
quota of seeds will be going through
the mill preparatory to being mailed
to the different sections of the state.

FIRST LAW.
Greater Morgantown Bill is Elk
pected to be

The First Bill TO get through Both
Houses of the Legislature of
the Bill--License Feature which was
Eliminated Other Notes on the Do
iugs at Charleston.
The Morgantown charter bill is CO.
ing speedily through the legislature.
1t was passed by the house Monday,
and will be railroaded through the
senate at once. Ii will probably be
the first bill to reach the governor
The bill annuls the charters OF South
Morgantown, Greenmont and Seneca
and consolidates them with the new
city of Morgantown. The bill divides
the new city into four wards. each
town being one. The municipal az
thorities shall consist of mayor, re-
corder and not less than nine council
men. Subordinate officers provided
for are superintendent Of the streets,
chief OF police, attorney, assessor, col
lector and treasurer and they are to be
appointed by the mayor with the con-
sent of the council. To be eligible
to an elective position person must
own and pay taxes on $500 worth Of
property. The charter provides that
the first election of officers under the
act shall be held the first Thursday In
April, 1901. Tenure OF Office shall be
for one year except councilmeu, who
will serve for two years. The taxrate
Is limited to 81 on the 500.
The regulations of liquot licenses
would have been elective At every
city election the license question was
to have been submitted to the people
and If they decided in favor Of license
the county court was required TO
grant state license It was specified
that not more than one license should
be granted to each 1000 population
which meant that Morgantown would
not have more than three sa-
looms. A bond of S., 900 was to be re-
quired Of all liquor dealers. But this
provision was eliminated
The deficiencies In the various state
institutions continue TO attract much
attention. In addition to deficiencies
already noted it Is said there is a big
one in the state university. The re-
port has not been received from
that institution, but it is understood
it is behind on salaries and other ex-
penses.
The house members OF joint COM
mittee to prepare reapportionment and
