mary of crop conditions for the month
of November:
The month as . whole was very dry,
with temperature averaging above the
normal west of the Mississippi river,
while to the eastward Of the Mississip-

The whole winter wheat area has
suffered to q greater or less extent
from insufficient moisture during No
vember. Winter wheat is, however.
reported In promising condition in Kan
sas, western Missouri and generally In
Illinois. In central and eastern Mis-
souri,, and generally throughout the
Ohio valley and middle Atlantic states
the condition of the crop Is not prom
Ising, although 1t was somewhat Inn
proved by rains In the latter part Of
the month. In the upper Ohio valley

posely delayed to avoid the Hessian fly.
In the Pacific coast states the outlook
for fall-sown grain is very promising,

MoNNETT, il is said, is opposed to
Roosevelt's plan of dealing with
Trusts. Monnett sees more than any
body else sees If he sees plan in it.
The President advises that combines
and trusts be compelled TO make pub
lie their business, so that all that is evil
IN their affairs may be found out and
but that is not a plan. The
plans will come after the methods of
the trusts are found out. The Presi-
dent advised amending the Interstate
commerce law, so as to secure absolute
fairness and equality Of rates, but
there is no plan about that. Further
than this advice, the President had NO
plan, but made suggestions to Con-
gress that wo uld pave the way for cor
recting evils.

GRAIN BOOMS
At CHICAGO.
Oats and Corn Break Records.
and Wheat Also Scars.

Chicago, Dec. 4-FOr amount Of
business done, and for excitement and
activity, the session of the Board of
Trade today came very near setting
new mark. Business in all grain was
booming, and the wild rush of traders
made the scene spectacular In many
respects.
But there was more to It than the |
noise and furry. Under the pressure
of liberal buying orders from every |
where, prices went soaring. Corn, for
delivery next Nav, sold at &c, which |
is an advance of 15c since yesterday,
and which sets new record price for
the season. May oats took q material
upshoot and also touched new high
point by selling at 45sc.
May wheat sold at 79ac, which, while
not record, is near 1t.
There was nothing artificial about
the strength in corn and oats. In both
markets it has followed heavy de-
mand from the consumers. Oats were
relatively the stronger of the coarse
Igrians. s~ss $50
| No Corner Anywhere.
The peculiar part of the phenomenal
rise is that there does not appear to be
any corner on the market in any of the
grains dealt in. Interior buying, aided
Iby the drought in the winter wheat
area, and this alone, is responsible for
the excitement in the market,
say the brokers who are dealing
, in. the grains. Some buying has
been going on for weeks by an East
IeFn. syndicate, through J. F. Harris
and ]. h. Wrenn, two of the biggest
firms in Chicago, but 1t Is not thought
{ that sufficient quantities Of the grain
have been secured to constitute cor.
| nor.
Mayor James A. Patton, Of Evanston,
IL one Of the men pointed out as among
1.-The most fortunate operators in the
, present rise. 1t is understood that he
holds nearly Il. 600, 900 bushels of oats
and that the present price is some
seven cents above the quotations al
which ne DOugnt.
| Profit Of $500, 900.
According to the figuring Of the
brokers, this would give him q tidy
profit OF upward of $500, 600.
The drought in the Southwest, the

be . large factor. In the rise Of th'

ALL that the President has 70 say of
Trusts, il not found under that division
of his message. In treating OF the In
terstate Commerce law he says:
ssThe act should be amended. The
railway is a public servant Its rates
should be Just TO and open 70 all ship
pers alike. The Government should
see to il that within its jurisdiction
this is so and should provide q speedy,
inexpensive and effective remedy to
that end"
When railroad rates are made just to
and open to all shippers alike, heavy
blow will have been struck at Trusts
In legislating against them, this is one
of the fret measures that should be
adopted. If Trusts could not secure
special rates and accommodations OF
railroads, and control railroad traffic,
competition would have show, and
small factories and interests would have
q chance. Ii would be impossible TO
crush them out.

EVERYBODY
PRAISES IT.
President Roosevelt's First
Message Praised by Republicans
and Democrats.

There were some politicians and
some statesmen, some newspaper men,
and some business men, who were fear
full lest the President would say some
thing rash or too radical In his mes
sage, that would injure the party,
alarm capital or disturb the business
interests of the country.
They seemed to have some idea that
Mr.. Roosevelt was cowboy who car
ried lasso on his arm ready to lasso
any vagary that ran athwart the pub
lie mind, or they looked upon him as q
veritable bull in q china shop. They
neither knew the man nor his record,
or they would have recognized him a.
one of the most level-headed men ir
the country, who knows how to be In
dependent and fearless, without being
rash, and who knows how to be c0nser
vative without being timid or truck
ling.
But they are all rejoicing now, ant
are joining in the universal expression
of praise of the new Presidents frs
State paper.
Congressman ran race to the Whit
House to see who could speak the fra
good work and say the incest thing
about the message. Newspapers al
over the country have show cred tn
president with bouquets, and the En-
glish and German press say fine thing
of the message.
Now this Is all because the Presiden
is q correct and Independent thinker,
man not afraid to speak his convic
tions, who has the happy faculty
Expressing his mind forcibly, and VIII
yet remembers that his are gres
responsibilities, and that he is treatini
of topics that vitality concern the vel
fare and happiness Of Is, ,0oo, 600 people
It is therefore . good message; It
bis, and he is getting only deserves
Icredit for 1t.

THE Presidents endorsement Of the
Peace Conference at the Hague, and
his hope that the day is not far distant
when war will be impossible, shows as
it has always been manifest In our

War, like slavery, is relic Of barbsr-
ism. In barbarism 1t is often neces-
sary. In civilized life it should be
forever abolished.

A lazy liver may be only tired liver. or
starved liver. A stick Is all right for the
back o. q lazy man. But 1t would be savage
rs well as stupid thing to beata weary man
or a starving man because he Jagged In his
work. so'in treating the Tagging liver IT is
great mistake to lash It with drastic drugs. In
ninety-nine cases out Of q hundred torpid
or sluggish liver is but symptom of an ILL.,
nourished body, whose organs are weary with
overwork. Let your liver alone. Start with
the stomach and its allied organs OF digestion
and nutrition, Put them in proper working
order, and see how quickly your liver will be-
come active and energetic. DIR, Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has made many
marvellous cures of silver trouble" by its
wonderful control Of the organs Of digestion
and nutrition. 1t restores the normal activ :.
ity Of the stomach, increases the secretions Of
the blood making glands. cleanses the sys-
tenn from from poisonous accumulations, and
so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed
upon It By the detection OF other organs.
