The SILK Hats Worn In London.

There are always two kinds of silk
hats, each of the best quality. on sale
in London. One is the strictly fashion
able model, the latest" or whatever
one may choose to call it, which is re-
tailed in the west end at from a guinea
to 25 shillings. The other is the style
which Immediately preceded it and has
gone out" although the quality is I'M
changed This is usually called the
city hat and costs Ii shillings. The
distinction is very peculiar one En-
ployees of large London commercial
houses are not expected to be up to the
hilt in fashion, and If they are it is
sure to be resented by their employers
A London city magnate would not be
seen wearing the same shape hat as
one of his bookkeepers, and so the
great army of salary drawers keep just
a shape behind the bondholding com
munity.

Key
That Fits

We have found that nearlyall the
general medicines that are popular
seek first to promote appetite and
help digestion, then to apply
needed elements which almost all
ailing people require.
Probably iron is the most i'm
portant of these needed elements,
yet it is very hard to give iron so
it will do any good.
There are thousands of keys in
the world = only one or two un-
lock your door. So we know
of only one or two combinations
of iron that seem to do the work.
BY far the most generally useful
prescription we know of is Vinol.
We mention this by name, because
we know what it is made of, how
it is made, and how wonderfully
helpful 1t has been in numerous
cases in this very town.
Vinol contains the medicinal
qualities of cod liver oil, iron-that-
can-be-digested, and a little table
wine. 1t is pleasant to take, and
we have so much faith in it that
we will sell a bottle to anyone
suffering from loss of appetite, a
rundown condition, tendency to
colds, or to weak women and pale
children, etc, and cheerfully give
you the money back if it does not
helm Won.

A Caution to sxeethenrt..

In 1884 the Primitive Methodists of
Burnley issued an edict against Sun
day counting. They regarded it as so
serious an offense against the dignity
of the Sabbath that they actually pass
ed in solemn and sober earnest the fol
lowing stern and autocratic minute
THAT we do not allow young men and
young women of our society to court
with each other on sunday; neither do
we allow our single men and women
to walk in the street together, arm in
arm, at any time; neither do we allow
them TO stand at street corners chat
ting together"

Grain Letter.

Chicago. July 1S.-WHEAT-The past
week has been most excellent for harvest
growth of crops. The bulk of the winter
wheat has now been harvested under most
favorable weather conditions.
Threshing returns from some parts of
Ohio and Missouri are disappointing in
yield, but judging from the first market
lngS from that territory the indications are
the average quality is high In the west
and southwest good yields and quality are
being reported.
Late advices from the spring wheat
states indicate fairly favorable progress of
the crop during the past week. Some re-
ports early in the week stated that in Min
nesOta wheat is thin in the northern part
of the state and heading short In North
weedy thin and mostly headed with short
heads In South Dakota wheat heads gen.
orally of good size, except in northern
part.
In this state the wheat is threshing out
about as expected. heavy in western and
light in eastern counties, and quality very
good.
The speculative markets have been
strong. The bull movement in wheat
which started from claims of crop losses in
the soft winter wheat belt has gradually
gained force and crop losses have spread
presented prospects for a bumper yield,
with conditions almost perfect, are now
down to "a points below. the July average
OF the past ten years All the indications
show that the northwest crop is spotted,
and it will do well if it equals last year.
In the great Red river valley the crop
is estimated as not to exceed 60 per cent. of
last years. and some make the figures
less Based on the government estimate
the total crop of spring and winter wheat
is 6SS million bushels, or is million bushels
less than last year.
The professional has traded in and out.
but the big men are long. Another bull
factor is the delayed movement. North
western millers are after the hard wheat
of the southwest and are competing there
with buyers from other sections and pay
ing better prices. With prices at Kansas
City around 72c for No. hard, the Chi
cago market is too low to admit of free
movement their way Millers in the soft
wheat country are absorbing the offerings,
and unless there is a material increase pri-
mary markets are liable to get very little
wheat this month.
The only bearish feature in the wheat
situation is the indifference of foreigners.
They are buying very little wheat. and
have less headed toward them than for
several weeks. For the time being this
bearish feature is offset by the very low
visible supply and small stocks of contract
wheat On the basis of the government
report there is no more surplus than
listed a year ago. when the increase con-
required to import more than last year.
Taking irto consideration that prices are
generally the lowest at the beginning of
the new crop movement, and also the fact
that there is a stability to prices which
will prevent any material decline, it will
be seen that wheat is not too high, and
on a supply and demand basis should work
higher. We advise its purchase on soft
spots

tinues to practice. What will be the
result? He had the license once. Per

he is no coward, and will stay right
there at Garden City and fight to the

7 was not greatly surprised at the
verdict, because I had been informed of
the character of the board. It IS po-
liticaI organization, and was obliged to
lend it's ear to the popular clamor for
vengeance on DR.. Gray l never saw
seven men look more shame-faced and
guilty than those men did last night
when they returned that verdict. II IS
probable that the Meffert case will be
pleading in this case. We believe, how
ever. that our case is stronger than
that of DR.. Meffert."
At the close of the argument Friday,
the attorneys for the defense filed
motion asking that the board make its
findings in writing, and that each mem
her of the board sign the document.
They. also asked that the findings of law
and the findings of fact be made sep
arately. These requests were both de-
MED.
The attorneys were allowed an hour
on a side to argue the case. and the ar

then took the case in hand and rendered
