Chicago, June 5.-WHEAT-Grain again
showed good strength at the opening to-
bulge yesterday, but the crowd was bull
ishly inclined. July wheat opened shade
lower 70 7sqzc up, al A1sq tz1sc. receipts
were more liberal than OF late, but there
was talk Of too much rain in the south
west and the market was supported well
on that argument. Corn was firm and lent
of its strength to wheat, so that July,
after dipping a second time to its lower
opening figure, advanced and held well at
72asc. Local receipts were y cars-2 cars
of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 2s4 cars. making a total for the
three points of 296 cars, against pa cars
last week. and 39S cars year ago.
Early buyers lQuidated their wheat as
the session advanced and July lost all Of
its gain and more, slumping to 715A0713sc
and closing weak and sc down, at 4l15q
CORN-Fairly heavy buying of a good
character started better prices early in
corn Country acceptanceS were very light
and receipts at Do cars were smaller than
several days ago. The crowd early was
afraid to sell much short for fear of re-
newed manipulation and on the wheat
strength advances were made July open
ed a shade to ssQ1zc higher, at 617sd624 c,
and held well to the higher figure for
some time.
July corn closed tirm and &c up, at $40

of another deal gave oats rather tense

FOOD AND GIRLS.
Study Don't Hart If They Are Fed Right.

Some time ago one Of the ladies'
papers published a long list Of extracts
from letters from mothers. speaking OF
broken down school girls. True, over
work and too much confinement is
largely responsible, but, on the other
hand, If the girl is fed on the right
kind Of food to rebuild the daily waste

ter of food is the real foundation Of the
subject.
A 17-year-old girl writes from Caro-,

Food. In about three months re-
covered my strength, my mind became
much more clear and acute, and was
able to resume school work.

I discovered that was getting too fat
I gained so much in weight that I had
10 discontinue it. It is the best food I
ever heard Of for building up a broken
down system.

a missionary, and while there she was

among Republicans on account OF the
fight made against Reeder in the recent
campaign for his denomination.
IT is admitted that Cole is not as

he gets into it. and he is good mixer.

among the Sixth district Populists, who
make it a rule to find out what Fike
wants and then act exactly the oppo-
site way. They claim this is a safe rule
to go by if they can only ind out what
Bike really wants.

Humbert-Crawford swindle is Being
Traced Ont.


Cincinnati. June 5-The Enquirer says
the Humbert-Crawford sensation of
Paris probably had its start at Coving-
ton, KY. and that French detectives are
now here working under instructions
from Paris and also under telegraphic
advisement from Washington, through
Eugene Poicey, the French consul at
Cincinnati 1t is asserted that NJ. Katin,
who taught French at Covington years
ago and afterward returned to Paris,
has advised the French government all
about the CraWfords, whom he formerly
knew while living in Covington. Frank
Deveneck, an artist in Concinnati who
resides in Covington and knew the
Crawfords, has gone to Paris to assist
in the investigation that has been start
ed by NJ. Katin who is now in the en-
ploy of the French government.
Four Crawford brothers lived in Gov
ington until the early SOS when they
left there and two of them went to
Paris. The French government has in
formation that they may have been the
men named in the golden sealed and
impressivee looking document exhibited
by the Humberts to the great hnanciers.
The brothers were John, Henry, Mat
thew and Robert. John died years ago,
leaving three brothers. In the early 80 S
Henry went to Kansas City and was
city clerk there. Matthew and Robert

lived in Paris. Every circumstance in
dicates that they are the men whom the
Humberts named as the nepheWS VINO
were contesting the Crawford will and
who are preventing the Humberts from
coming into possession of the great es-
tates The Crawfords were considered
a wealthy family in Covington and il
was understood that they had rich
uncle. The story as related by the Hum
berts to the bankers is practically the
