At q meeting Of the Excise board of this
city today r. e. Finney introduced q reso-
luton to raise the liquor license from 81, 1000
to 1000. The proposition will be consid-
cred by the board in an adjourned meeting
tomorrow morning. This action is prompted
by the recommendation Of the Commercial
club that the license be raised. Speaking
regarding his resolution. Mr.. Finney said:
Business men admit that q saloon Is a
bad thing. What we want to do Is to re-
duce the number and regulate them in the
best manner possible. When a man pays
81, 900 for a license he deserves protection.
He Is not protected when drug stores sell
liquor. And. again, It naturally follows
that IL a license is worth $1,000 under
present conditions 1t would be worth more
with no drug store permits.
II have considered this course for some
time. On the saloon problem / do not be-
lieve in compromises. l believe It would
be better to raise the license TO $780, 900 and
let one man handle all the liquor. 1t would

Many people suffer from piles because
after trying various lotions, saives and
ointments without relief or cure, they come
to the conclusion that a surgical operation
is the last resort, and rather than submit
to the shock and risk to life OF an operation
prefer to suffer on; very often, however,
the afiicted one is over-persuaded to resort
to the knife, and even though the opera
ton Is apparently successful and there is
complete recovery from the shock Incident
thereto, the result is Invariably the same;
the piles sooner or later return, because
their cause has not been removed. The
result is a logical one, inasmuch as the
knife removes the effects Of the disease
only. while the cause remains as before.
There Is claimed to be a remedy which
does remove the cause. hence Graduating

Cure; It is In the form OF a suppssitory, is

NORTHERN PACIFIC HAS
WITHDRAWN APPLICATION
Residents OF Cherry Street Valued Their
Property too Hieh-TroubIc Over
Spur to Farrell Smclter.

Judge Mediation today Withdrew the
application Of the Northern Pacific railway,
heretofore presented to the county COM
missioners, Tor a franchise to build rail
road spur mile and half long to the site
oi the projected Farrell smeltcr, in the east
ern part Of the city.
The withdrawal Of the application for the
franchise signalizes q victory for the resi-
dents who protested against the running of
the spur through Cherry street. Judge
Mediation said in an interview after the
application was taken down, that the route
desired by the Northern Pacific will still
be secured.
The withdrawal OF the application re-
suited from the situation that developed
out Of the effort OF the railroad to eompro-
mise with the Cherry -streeters on basis Of
paying damages. The excessive damages
demanded by the latter killed the nego,ia
tions for the compromise and forced the
railroad TO adopt new course.
The total damages demanded by the peo-
pie who put in claims was $I5,2so, but there
we're still others to be heard from. One
man, whose two lots are assessed at $50
piece, wanted $4,000 for the property, or
81 500 damages. Another man whose
property is said to have cost him S ! 600
and which Is assessed for $3,o7s asked
$4,000 for the land or 10000 damages.
At the meeting at which the withdrawal
was made Commissioner Clark said to the
Cherry.streetcrs:
"The board of equalization meets Mon
day. see that your property has been
assessed far too low. We will have to
remedy that"
The Cherry heard the statement
with uncasincss and If the jovial commits
soner attempts TO carry out his threat they
will probably sing another tune about
values.

EXCITED SESSION
BOARD OF TRADE
CHICAGO OAT BEARS HAVE A HARD
TIME OF 1T AND CANNOT
COVER CONTRACTS.
[BY ASSOCIATED pREss.l.

Chicago, July Io.-In a very excited
session OF the board of trade today, oats
sold at 65, the highest price here since
1874 for that cereal. The cause of the
rocket flight, which was a gain of IS
cents in three days and of IN cents today,
was the fear of shorts" in July options
that they might not be able to secure oats
with which to fulfill their contracts.
Back of this lay that of oat fields yellow
for the harvest, but devastated by the
heavy rains of the last few days. Yesterday
trade in oats on the local exchange was
very much excited Today it almost
reached panic. From the first tap OF the
starting gong terror filled the herats of the
bears in the oat pit. Reports during the
latter end of June and early July indicated
excellent harvests of oats.
Shorts, who had been pinched a little
early in July options, determined to hang
out for reaction when good weather ar
rived. Stocks of old oats became rapidly
depleted under a constant cash demand.
Mayor James Patton of Evanston had
cornered May oats and had done SO SO
successfully that there was no corpse"
of big cash supplies to bury. When the
heavy rains continued receipts of new
standard oats which must be delivered on
new July contracts were almost nil. To-
day only 81 cars of all kinds of oats ar
rived and only a8 cars were of contract
grade. Shorts bid for what little stuff
there was offered. The bulls believed prices
would go still higher and chief of these
bulls was Mayor Patton, who is supposed
to have tight hold on nearly 1000 900
bushels Of new July
Most of this supply of short contracts
was bought around SO. July new opened
2Nc higher than last nights close, at 6oc.
There was some haggling for short time
and then, in jumps of one or two cents at
time, the price bounded to Csc. Here and
there longs liquidated for good profits, hut
the close was very strong and congested,
re gain for July for the day at 64Hc.
September felt the influence of the July
strength and made fair gain, closing nc
up at 34c
July wheat opened excited at me,
jumped to 7oc and dipped to 76Hc. Sep
tember opened at 70 to 73H, touched 73N
@73N and declined to 7sAc.

RECOMMENDATION OF PRESIDENT

Indianapolis Ind, July Io.-When the

dent that all probability of strike had
utterly vanished. The anthracite men who
have favored strike we're practically
unanimous in declaring that it would have
been unwise to order general strike
The chances are that the convention will
finish its work today and it will be ended
by the adoption of the recommendations
of President Mitchell, with exceptions of
amendments in the manner of bringing the
assessments upon the members of the
union.
At the opening of the convention this
morning, "Mother" Jones was given the
floor. She delivered an address which was
enthusiastically applauded She declared
that before coming to indianapolis she
had favored general strike, but since
coming to the convention she had reached
the opinion that the conclusion reached
by the delegation to avoid such a move
ment was the wisest course.
She urged the delegates to oppose at the
congressional elections this fall every man
who was favorable to government by in
