CHICAGO Market

Chicago, Nov. %. - Strength in coarse
grains led to general bullish feeling today,
and December wheat closed a shade lower
December corn 1c. higher and December
oats 1sGAc, up. Provisions closed 20 to
442R cents higher
Smaller receipts than were estimated
Saturday a strong demand and the ap-
proach of delivery day for December op-
tons brought a nervous and irregular
opening in corn, with December a to q
cents higher at 61$4 to SPA. Gables We're
firm and commission houses had good
buying orders, which were at times aug
mented by good support from profess
sionsl bulls.
The feature of the session seemed to be
the anxiety of shorts, who covered ,eX-
citedly. The cash situation was reported
as strong in the country, where farmers
want corn badly and are slow in parting
with it. The visible supply was reported
today as decreased $1,000 bushels. Under
these influences December soon sold up
/ to 625s. Later on profit taking, prices re-
acted, but the demand from shorts was
so strong that all setbacks were quickly
overcome, and December reacted to G2A.
The close was strong after another drop,
with December one cent higher at 6212.
Wheat had nervous market fairly
active at times, within narrow range.
Cables were a little higher as a result Of
the better feeling here Saturday, and De-
cember opened a shade higher to shade
lower at 72& to 72h. Absence of rain in
the southwest and liberal clearances
helped prices up to 72i5c early, but traders
were more Interested in the coarser grains
and on the report Of an increase of $685.
900 bushels in the visible supply and on
liberal receipts December sagged to 721s
On the low prices a moderate outside de-
mand appeared and prices reacted. In
the main this pit followed corn. December
closing steady a shade lower at 72h. Sea-
board clearances in wheat and flour
equalled $4,000 bushels. The seaboard re-
ported Ii loads taken for export. Worlds
shipments were 10 $4,000 bushels, COM
pared with 600 bushels last week.
Breadstuffs on passage decreased 10000
bushels.
oats opened firm, in sympathy with
corn, and on a strong demand and light
offerings. Trade was broad and cctive
throughout the session, especially for the
July option. December opened $-alac.
higher at 427s&43, but profits here were
too tempting and prices sagged on real
iZinF. December even touched &c. under
Saturdays close, but the tone of the
market held firm, and December reacted
to 436Dls. Prominent bulls both bought on
The advance checked the cash demand
somewhat and December closed firm, IA
Ac. higher at 425sQ& Receipts were 172
cars
Provisions were fairly active, with
higher tendencies. The market brOadened
steadily under the incentives Of early cur
tailed receipts and the light weight of
hogs received. The outside demand was
improved, but there was also present a
professional demand. English houses did
most of the selling. January pork closed
421ac higher at 15.S75, January lard 321ac
up at 9.12l3 and January ribs 20 cents
higher at S.OIi2.

This goes on gradually growing
thicker with accumulated mud, until
the vent becomes choked, as it did
year ago. Then there came a fearful
explosion, when the huge monster
threw UP and out the whole mass, and
threw it, as judge, for $50 feet, plas-
tering thus the stumps and trees with
the black vomit. This awful mud was
so adhesive that it adhered to the trees
from top to bottom for, surely, several
months, and they looked SICK indeed.
1t was really a hideous sight.

geyser was much changed" He evil
IDENTIFY had simply observed that it was
now playing with muddy water not so
dense as before; but he had failed to
observe the mud on the trees and the
surrounding earth, which would have
led him to note that its force was not
only well sustained, but for once SEEM
tngly overdone Indeed, it was no evil
dence of change, but a part of the pro-
gram, as the clock ticks every second,
striking at given periods of an hour,
and the strike does not betoken change,
but regularity of longer intervals, some
seconds some hours. SO ever so on
these changes in the park, that are no
changes at all, but periods that are
marked by wonderful regularity, end
less variety.

modest expense. 1t is the nearest to
Natures heart you can possibly get.

THE RICH coLoR1NGs.

1t should be remembered that these
rich colorings depend on the continual
flow of this scalding water. When
the water ceases, then the decrepitation
begins Immediately and the color fades
directly. The cOlors are produced by
the acids, realgar, orpiments and vari-
GUS oxides, as well as by the possible
fungous growth in the waters.
Another place to be observed is that
Of the most delicate Angel terrace.
Between my visits of 1899 and 1900, this
terrace-well became entirely dry, and
the colors were all gone, leaving a
deathly white mass of cracking cal
cium. I pushed through the bushes,
only to find that the currents flow
had been altered. and that a new ter
race was now being formed a hundred
feet below. Really a new Angel.
1t was also observable that this new
terrace had formed with great rapid
ity. This was caused by a breaking
up of the hot stream in new and fresh
fractured channels. This newly E-ac-
tured surface yielding more rapidly to
the intensely thermal water thus gath
erlng material for building more quick
ly. These water currents running a
long time over the same surfaces grad
ually exhaust the calcium deposits, and
also form slight silicic surfaces that
yield little material. Hence they build
more and more slowly above until new
fractures give fresh material
This is plain when it is found that
these hot waters dissolve the calcare-
Gus rocks below, and, being forced up
ward to a vent bearing this calcium
carbonate in solution, then, when
reaching the surface air, the loaded
water absorbs carbon-dioxide, and so
liberates the calcium to be again de-
posted in the formation of these up
per terraces.

Money on the Railroads

The prosperity of fAmerican rail-
roads in these days of low rated and
fast service is due largely to the scien-
tific reduction in the cost of operating
Some years ago when the western
roads built into new and undeveloped
territory there seemed to be an ele-
ment of risk attached to it. and money
could only be borrowed at high rates
of interest. Seven per cent construc-
ton bonds were sold at a discount, but
now that the country has developed
and the railroads by good management
have established a large and growing
business, money can be had for about
three per cent, and so it is found pro-
htable to eXpend large sums in i'm
provements which make it possible to
save money in daily operation.
The Burlington System of 5000 miles
for instance. has during the past two
years spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars in reducing grades and elimi-
mating curves, the result being that
heavier trains can be hauled with the
same engine power, besides making
travel far more comfortable and also
less dangerous, thus reducing materi-
ally the loss incident to claims for
damage and injury.

ROLAND CLAIMS 1T
WAS BUT A JOKE

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Annie VanBroth
of "a South Sangamon Street died last
night, from burns said to have been
inflicted by Andrew Boland, who lived
in the same house with her.
According to the ante mortem state
ment made to the police by Miss Van
Broth, the couple had been quarrel
ing. She declared Boland became so
angry that he removed the globe and
chimney from the lamp in the house
and then attempted to burn her face
with the flame. She cried out for help
and struggled to save herself. Her
dress caught fire and in an instant she
was mass of flames. Alarmed at
the result of his action, the woman
said, Boland attempted to extinguish
the fire and was severely burned him
self Boland was arrested.
He told the police that the affair had
been meant as a joke. Later he said
it was an accident. The police do not
believe either of his statements and
will hold him pending the result of the
coroner.

THE RICE WILL CONTEST
HAS REACHED THE COURTS

New York, Nov 25.-The first testimony
in the contest as to the Wills of Wolliam
Marsh Rice the aged Texas millionaire,
who died here last year under circum-
stances that aroused suspicion of foul
play, was heard today before Surrogate
FITZGERALD.
Albert T. Patrick, who drew the second
will in 1900, is now in the tombs charged
with the murder of Mr.. Rice. He was
represented in court today by counsel, as
We're also the various other beneficlaries
under the two wills in question.
The hearing was adjourned until De-
cember 5. Only two witnesses were ex-
amined
At the close of their testimony counsel
for Patrick said he understood the case
was to go no further pending a result in
the criminal charges against his client.
An adjournment to the date named vas
then agreed to, with the understanding
that no additional testimony was to be
taken even then.

ENDLESS BOILING POINTS.

Over the entire area there are end
less small boiling points of fumaroles
extending for at least 100 miles from a
given centre These sputter and bub-
Bile away with slight change Of open
ing from year to year. Some trifling
external cause may vary these a lit
tie. while occasionally one seems to
dry up and go out of action. But even
this apparent loss Is often, but the re-
suit of a dry coating of mud, forming
too heavy crust for the slight force
to penetrate; and it is not uncommon
to hear the baby geyser with smoth-
cred voice still chirping beneath the
surface. Indeed, the most. striking inn
preston made is that OF uniformity.
In the natural constructive depart
ment, as where the thermal springs are
constructing terraces, it is plain to
be seen that there must come points at
which that process ceases-ceases for
the simple reason that the work is
finished when the processes turn to
duplicate the formation in a new di-
rection. This is evident all about the
region, as seemingly a large portion
of these elevations have been so con-
structed. This is possibly true of the
Bad Lands of Dakota and Wyoming.
All of this speaks not of dying ener-
gy, but Of the limits of that energy and
VI us perpetual support up TO lue
point of that limit. 1t is changes of
this sort that have led to the present
cutlery as to the parks dying.
Three years ago Minerva terrace was
very beautiful, and rich in color, as it
was then very active, and the water
flow abundant. Two years ago the
charming color was all gone from the
terraces. We then mourned the ap-
parent death of this goddess. A care
full survey of the field showed that
while here was a striking change, that
it was not one of energy. Instead of
the loss Of energy, the current had been
diverted in another direction and was
now giving its flow evidently to an
other pool a little to the north, whose
terraces in turn were being freshly col
cred; for this north terrace has never
been seen so active or beautiful by this
writer at any other time. To our
great delight, this last season, the pools
of the Minerva were again overlooking
the brim. The current, however was
not sufficient TO give color to the en-
tire terrace, but only to that quarter
toward the pulpit But the color is
spreading with the increase of the wa
ter's flow, when the north pool will
consequently lose its water and beauty.

AT MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS.

These two cases are characteristic
of other external changes at Mammoth
hot springs; but there has been no
slackening of energy here for 20 known
years. There are no geysers at this
point, they being found 20 miles fur
Their up the park. Here. at the Nam
moth hot springs, are chiefly vents of
hot water and hot air, and large scald-
ing pools Of azure blue water in charm
ing-traced basins of calcite.
Reference has been made to the sup
posed extinct Excelsior geyser as evil
dence of this dying force. I venture
to suggest that its later eruptions have
rather been so very excessive that its
throat has become seriously enlarged.

TARIFF REFORM.
Ohio Democrats Return to the
.-..., Old Issue.
WARNING TO ALL OHIO VOTERS.
The Wilson Bill, Which Brought Hard
Times, Declared to Be Not Radical
Enough.

"Forewarned is forearmed," and the
people of Ohio may as well understand,
first, last and all the time, that they
are in it for further lighting along the
very line that Mckinley conducted for
the maintenance of protection to
American industries. His great Buff
falo speech-his farewell address-in
support of reciprocity. was clearly
meant to foster that principle in ac-
cordance with the Republican doc
trines and practice, and platform of
entire harmony with the protective
idea; but the Democrats are not tall
ing of that-they don't say anything
about reciprocity, except as means to
free trade.
In Ohio not only did the Democratic
state convention denounce the McKin-
ley policy OF protection, but demanded
Its abolition, and the substitution for
1t Of the traditional Democratic pol
icy of a tariff for revenue" Moreover,
the Ohio Democratic campaign man
ayers are filling their party organs
with the regular old-time free trade
talk. They say that everything
points to popular demand for re-
vision of the tariff laws" and their
idea OF what this revision must be is
based upon their further declaration
that the protective tariff is a legal
lied robbery of the common people"
This is what the Democracy always
called MciKnleyism, and it is right
IN order to have it understood that
that is what they are calling his prin-
CiplCs today.
Still further is it true that they are
GCing about this with evident hope of
accomplishing something along their
line OF rover-failiag attack upon
American industries. Ono of their
campaign articles recently given cir
cdlation il Ohio declares that There
has never been 4 time when the Dem
ccyItic party could make an aggres-
sive fight il favor of its historic posi-
tion on the tariff question with better
prospect for SUCCESS" This article fur
thcr refers to an Atlanta Constitution
editorial as evidence that those DEM
OcrGts who were once lulte-warm on
the tariff question" are now ready to
join their comrades in an onslaught
upon the protective system. In fact it
is declared to be proved that to-day
the Democratic party is more united
upon the tariff question than when
Grover Cleveland went into Office in
1893"
So convinced is this Ohio Demo-
cratic writer that he has the entire
Democracy at his back, in this one
thing Gf nothing else under the SUM,
of opposition to the Mckinley tariff
idea, and restoration of Cleyeland free
trade, that he ihtimates that the next
Democratic tariff bill will be much
more radical than before, because in
1892 "the Democracy in power did not
entirely fulfill its platform pledges"
Under these circumstances every Kill
bourne vote is free trade vote.
