THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD.

What avails the words OF angels,
What avails the tongues OF menl
What the gift OF prophesyingy
What our learning's farthest ken!
What the faith that mOveth mountainsl
What can charity secure?
What though We may die as martyrsg
Without love our souls are poor.
Love endureth, hopeth all things;
Love seeks not its own 20 gain,
Turns with all the more compassion
Unto those who give W. pain.
Mid the doubts that mock our knowledge
Mid the clamOr OF our creeds,
There abides our surest safety,
IN the love OF kindly deeds

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
THE MONTH OPENS BRISKLY, WITH
STEADY, FIRM PRICES.
Only the Passing of Election Day
Needed to Make Business Boom
Grain Markets Are Stronger.

The month opens with promise of a good
trade, say the travelling statesmen, business
waiting only till the election is over. Most
of the travelling statesmen remained in to
vote, but on Wednesday will resume their
usual routes and begin to push sales with
the intention of making November a record
breaker in volume of trade. Prices in most
lines have hardened during the last few
days This is especially true of trade on
Commission row. The supply Of fruits and
vegetables is ample to meet the demand.
and with cooler weather will move more
briskly. Groceries of all kinds are firm in
price and moving very freely. Coffee and
sugar are firm at unchanged prices. The
dry goods men are looking for an improve
ment in trade this month over that Of the
latter part of October, as the payment OF
taxes Is thought TO have checked trade
somewhat. The produce market continues
in strong position, especially eggs. butter
and cheese. Poultry carries an easier tone,
but prices are not lower. Higher prices for
eggs and butter are predicted by the COM
mission merchants. Provisions continue
fast movers and prices on most articles OF
hog products are firm. Hides are dull, with
prices easy but unchanged. On the con-
trary, the leather market is active and
prices, while no higher, are very firm.

MARRIAGE ANNULLED.
Mrs. Chambers Found Her Husband q
First-Class Fraud.

Judge Carter, in Room of the Superior
Court, declared the marriage of Arthur
Chambers and Elizabeth Chambers, which
was solemnized in Indianapolis on June 49,
1902, null and void from the beginning. The
suit for the dissolution of the marriage
contract was brought by Mrs Chambers,
who states that her marriage to Chambers
was the result of fraud and deceit on his
part. She testified during the trial yes
terday that Chambers told her before the
wedding that he owned a ranch in Kan
sas. was fairly well to do and had an in
come Of more than SD month from money
out on loans and drawing interest. These
statements were all found to be false by
Mrs. Chambers after the marriage, and in
stead she learned that Chambers was a
cattle rustler in Kansas, and all of his
ranch possessions depended on the success
of himself and associate in a band of cattle
thieves in their depr citations on Western
ranches. In addition to this bad quality,
Mrs. Chambers declared that her husband
was not a man of honor, and had misrepre-
sented his physical condition to her before
the marriage.
Judge Carter ruled that marriage when
the result of deceit and fraud was null and
void and instead of granting the divorce
annulled the contract alb initio. Mrs. Cham
bers was restored her maiden name-Half-
