Fish in wheat field may sound
ridiculous to some people, but they
exist in a large ten-acre plot Of ground
belonging to the farm of Sylvester
Flanders, of Selnsgrove, in large
numbers and of good size. The Sus-
quehanna river recently overh)wed its
banks, completely inundating The
field. One morning, while the swollen
stream was falling, Mr.. Flanders was
watching the recedng waters, when
he observed a peculiar waving of the
wheat. A closer examination dis
closed a number of German carp on
the surface. He set to work at once
to fence in the field with wire netting,
so that the fish could not get back In
to the river. His first catch was
twenty eight, weighing from six to
eight pounds each, and he believes
there are several hundred more in the
field

Exit Revenue Stamps.

After the first of July it will not be
necessary to put one cent stamp on
every telegram sent out, or stamps OF
any kind on bank checks, drafts, GER
tifcates of deposits, postofice money
orders, promissory notes, mortgages,
leases, powers of attorney, protests,
warehouse receipts, insurance policies,

Marriage Not a Failure.

There is one couple in Pennsylvania
that evidently does not consider mar
riage a failure, judging from the num-
erous matrimonial ventures of the
twain. Recently Rev. Mendenhall,
of Cooperstown, a superannuated
Methodist minister, aged 73 years,
and Mrs. Margaret McCabe, aged 10
years, were united in marriage. Rev.
Mendenhall was previously married
FIVE times and this is the fourth ven

How gladly would men fly to wo-

Great Wheat Drop Expected.

Western grain specialists have made
up their minds to a 100, 900 bus
hel wheat crop this year. Anything
ike that would be a record breaker.
Should the crop be only 600, 1000, 900
bushels it would be called small and
$50, 900 bushels or less would be
thought famine. The outlook for
short crops abroad raises the hopes oI
the wheat bulls in this country, but
speculative sentiment on the several
boards of trade where the cereal is
traded in for future delivery is bearisf
in anticipation of stupendous home
yield.

The Week in Business.

Confirmation by the agricultural
bureau of recent private estimates of
the wheat crop has given TO business
a tone Of greater confidence. Retail
operations both east and west are
larger, and distribution of merchandise
by the wholesale trade is increasing
in dry goods and boots and shoes.
Aslightly easier market in iron reflects
conditions noticed for several weeks
past. The labor situation is gradual
ly mendlng, with the appreciation of
the fact that in some directions man
ufacturers would be glad of temper
AIRY shut down of works.
Seasonable weather has somewhat
aroused the dry goods market. There
is not yet such activity that dealers
are overwhelmed, but the various
divisions of manufacture are fairly
occupied, and heavy supplies of print
cloths at Fall River have decreased.
Lower quotation recently established
had helpful effect, but the tempera-
ture was more potent for good. For.
wardings of footwear from Boston
have averaged over one hundred
thousand cases weekly for some time
and shops are well engaged. Fall
contracts are beginning to receive
attention. Prices are steady. Retailers
are receiving better grades of glazed
kid shoes without higher quotations
Local jobbing trade is very active
Scarcity of heavy sole leather sustains
prices, but light weight are dull and
weak.
Wheat declined to a more reason,
able level with withdrawal OF specula
tive support. The Government re
port of condition on June Ist was
chiefly responsible. A crop this year
equal to the greatest ever harvested
was indicated by the official statement
and as department figures have gener-
ally proven below the final yield, there
was heavy selling of option, with a
fall below 50 cents for cash wheat a,
New York. Foreign buying promptly
decreased, with the prospect of more
satisfactory terms.
Prospects for the current production
of raw material in the two leading
textile industries have been ascer
tained by careful canvass by cores
pondents of K. G.. Dun & Co. Re
gardlng cotton the outlook is bright
Notwithstanding the lateness of the
crop. Much replanting was made
necessary by bad weather, and the
yield promises to be more expensive
than usual on this account, and also
owing to the large quantities of fertili
ger used and the scarcity of labor.
Weather conditions have been most
favorable of late, and the situation is
much improved, except in few local.

Mr.. T. ]. McElroy, of Chicago, who
belongs to a family of old-time Demo.
Gratis, thinks that Mr. McKinley's up
setting OF the third term boom which
had been started fer him, ought to be
decidedly beneficial to the Democratic
party. He said on the subject |:
"Where can you find another man
prominent among the leaders of the
Republican party whose political life
is not entwined with the trusts which
sell their products, made in America,
at lower price abroad than they get
at home, and thus because the high
tariff of the u, S, over-protects them.
Mr.. McKinleys declination to run for
the Presidency again certainly makes
the race among the leaders of his
party to succeed him an open one,
and it should encourage the Demo
Gratis to come together and develop
their real strength"

Each Wants
Its Own Way.

WAsHINeToE, March 20.--In the Chi
nese matter the powers contend for the
right of fixing their own indemnities.
The reason is that each power in order
not to be outdone, fixes the total of its
claims at an enormous figure, far be-
yond anything known in the history of
indemnity collections. When the point
is made that the sum total OF these na-
tional claims is far beyond the ability Of
China to pay, some of the nations reply
by protesting willingness to cut down
their claims as soon as the fact Of Chi
mas inability is manifested. However,
as another precaution the same nations
promptly adjust their claims 20 the
calling down process, il applied, would
still leave with them q total indemnity
claim at least equal to that OF any Of
the other nations. The difficulty en-
countered in passing this point in the
negotiations is attracting more OF the
attention of the officials here than the
threatened collision between the allie q
at Tien Tsin, which, by the way, thus
far has not been the subject OF report
to the state department from MIR. Rock
hill, though there 10 reason to believe
that some OF the ambassadors here have
made it the basis of unofficial confer

OF the urgency and extent Of the domes-
