The proudest day in the life of Nellie
J. McMillin of Rushville, Ind, was
when the County Board of Education
presented her with a gold medal for
punctual school attendance. Miss Nc
Millin is 16 and has attended school
since she was 5, and in all that time
she was never absent or tardy. The
last four years she has lived in the
country, which made punctual attend
ance a serious matter, but her record
Is unbroken. She has graduated now.

then he broke down.
He was formerly member OF the
Iowa legislature He was convicted of
participation In extensive land frauds.

Oyerholtzers home In Iowa was in
Audubon county, which he represented
in the legislature. He made himself
conspicuous by the Introduction OF a
bill to strangle cookie burrs.
His attorneys pleaded to the court
for light sentence. This was urged
because Overholtzer formerly bore a
good reputation. A letter from Sena-
tor Allison referring TO the good char
acter which Overholtzer had displayed
In Iowa was read. Probably this plea
for leniency cut the sentence down.
Overholzter's family was highly es-
teemed in Iowa and came with him to

when the character of his operations
was suspected. They live in one OF
the suburbs of San Francisco.

Chicago. April l. Representative

Chicago to insert his private probe be-
meath the epidermis of the corpulent

in the halls of congress and made the
unqualified assertion that the live stock

Preliminary to his personal appear
ance on the stock yards stage, the
champion of the antitrust force re-

dressed letters to score of Chicago
cattlemen.
Several dealers that had received Mr..
Martins epistle had answered it.
Pressed further they became reticent.
But one more candid than the rest ac-
knowledged having furnished the South
dakota statesman with some facts and
promised more if he cared to come for
them, and the answer promptly came
that he would avail himself of the offer.
The cattlenlen here are not of the
opinion, however, that Mr.. Martin will
dig up" many trust secrets or expose
to the public gaze the collection of
skeletons in the trust closet.
Said one of them yesterday:
1.-The existence of the meat trust can
be established beyond doubt, but to
do it some of us must become martyrs.

Wheat traders find it difficult to get
the cash situation, the speculative sit
uation and the new crop situation to
dovetail They are also having an UNI
usual experience in trying to determine
at what price the strong cash situation
will be discounted, also what figure will
offset possible severe damage to the
growing crop, or moderate yield. The
outside Spectator has recently lost
heavily on the bull side. and is not in
the market to any extent, as he sees
nothing in the crop situation to make
him especially bullish, and those who
are buying futures on the strong cash
position are not making much money
as advances are small. 1t is the spec
ulator who makes the greater part OF
the bulges that the market has at
times. and it is seldom that the cash
situation in itself ever makes and holds
Il good bull market without the specu-
lator buying; the two must be COM
bined for permanence in higher values.
Present conditions are bewildering and
the turns are hard to follow.
One of the largest grain dealers in
Oklahoma claims that with plenty of
rain they will not raise over half to
two-thirds of last years crop. and
without rain very soon it will be very
much less. Our cash wheat is all
gone he says. and the millers are
now going to Kansas to buy wheat for
their supplies to run their mills.

wheat In Oklahoma than last year, and

els less in Kansas. OF course these es-
Inmates are based on their getting rain
