New York, Oct. 24.-"They are on
their honeymoon" was q sentiment
flashed upon the south side Of tht
Fifth Avenue hotel last night by q
Tammany stsreopticon on top oithe
Bartholdt hotel, just across Broad

sands who thronged the streets
watching the campaign shows who
gathered the real import Of the 70
mark when they remembered that
Senator Platt has his rooms on the
third floor Of the Fifth Avenue hotel,
fronting Twenty-third street. Once
Senator Plat sent q complaint to
the Office OF the hotel asking II moth
ing could be done to put q stop to
the annoyance. He was told that
the action OF the man with the Ian
tern was an outrage which must be
submitted to.

Canal Question at Extra Session.

Washington, Oct. 24.-While Presi-
dent Roosevelt designated in his
proclamation calling Congress into
extraordinary session only the sub
jet OF Cuban reciprocity for consid-
Grafton, it is reasonably certain now
that the Senate at least will have the
isthmian canal question brought d.
rectly to its attention.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
indicated his intention OF introduc-
inga resolution bearing on the cana
question.
Mr.. Morgan will endeavor to show
that the Panama route now is be-
yond consideration, and he will urge
that 1t is the duty Of the President,
under the Spooner law, to construct
the canal Immediately by the Nicara-
guam route.

WIFE KEEPS BIN PRISONER
A YEAR TO BREAK HIM
OF THE DRINK HABIT

Wealthy Farmer Suddenly Reappears
ifer Mysterious 0isa.9~a,snse,
Looking Like a New Man as a Result
Of Better Halfs Heroic Curative
Treatment.
Hayton, Wis, Oct. % After a
years absence John Wiltberg, a we'll
TODD farmer, suddenly reappeared
to-day and explained the mystery
which attended his strange disap.
pearance.
Wiltberg tells a story Of voluntary
Imprisonment, which reveals novel
cure for the drink habit.
For exactly a year, he declares, he
has been kept prisoner in his home
by his wife, who adopted this meth.
cd as last resource to cure him OF
the craving for drink which had CON-
pletely mastered him.
In one OF his periodical Ats of con-
triton, he agreed to the plan which
was proposed by his wife. She con.
fined him in a remote room in their
home, where no one could see him or
MD him should he break his resolve
Here, save the daily visits Of his wife
who served his meals in his room, he
lived in solitude for a year. He was
given newspapers and books and ex
ercise machines.
To-day he emerged in the best o
heath, fully cured OF all desire fol
drink.
During his confinement his wife raj
the farm. To oil inquiries as to hi
whereabouts she replied that he ha,
suddenly gone away without inform
ing her OF his plans.
Wiltberg looks like a new man.

Ogdensburg, \. Y, Ott. 24.-John
Luxton returned to his home in
Wanadeana, near Carthage, to-day,
after wandering through the Adiron-
dacks forest, lost, ever since last Fri
day.
Early Friday morning, Luxton, in
company with George Miller, went
into the woods on a hunting trip, in
tending to remain for the day only,
and taking with them a lunch. They
soon became separated and Friday
evening Miller returned home alone.
1t was believed that Luxton would
find his way back Saturday, but he
did not appear, and Sunday morning
a party OF 100 men began a search
which continued without success
Monday and Tuesday.
This morning Luxton limped in
haggard and worn and nearly ex-
hausted. His only sustenance had
been the small lunch he took with
him and two cartridges which he
shot. He was supplied with matches
and kept fires burning for protection
from the cold. His condition is
serious.

The Prospect of More Favorable

Much Damage Has Been Done Thru

900 Bushels-News Of the
Trade.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, June s.
Something of conservativeness worked into wheat
this morning and the speculative market while
holding strong, showed no Indication of any repe-
tition of the advance of yesterday. The bulls
were content to have the market hold on level
fractionally under yesterdays closing prices, and
there support, but no important new buying
at 17&c for July and I11sc for September The
cause OF the moderately easier tone lay IN the
indication of change for the better in the
weather. There was the promise that the low
barometer that has hung over the southwest since
last week, is to shift at last and the weather
map was improved not only in the showing OF
lessened precipitation. but the prospect or a
total cessation of the rims. Is
The Iowa weekly report is buIish on coarse
grains as 1t we'll may be. To say that central
Iowa has been soaked with rain Is to put 1t very
mildly. Much Of the area on moderately
low land has been saturated again and again,
until plowed fields have been turned into seas
of mud How long it will take this land to get
back into shape and for the plant development
to begin again is a question. But 1t Is certain
that there are many thousands OF acres where
nothing can begin growing for fortnight even
If there is fairly dry weather from now on
Emphasis has been put upon the number of acres
washed out by flood and Of large areas totally
destroyed which will necessitate reseeding and IN
some few cases abandonment, and this Will make
enough of hole in the total acreage to make 1t
an important factor. But more important than
this is the delay. Everything in Iowa, generally
speak king, will be late. as all grains have stood
still for almost ten days while corn was al
ready late in many districts and will be still
further delayed under the most favorable circum-
stances This Is the most important cons1dera-
ton from speculative view point. Even II all
the damage could be repaired and the crop put
back in the condition 1t was, it will all be late
and liable to increasing dangers the longer matu-
rity Is delayed ~.
