Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. Sept. s.-Essy cables and much
larger local receipts than had been expected
caused rather tame opening in wheat the
December option being unchanged to &c
lower at 81 O6ss TO 81 O6H. Several promi-
nent commission houses were active bidders at
the decline and with only light offerings the
market quickly developed a strong undertone.
As the session advanced the buying became
general, resulting in additional strength. The
main factor in the situation was the
tremely bullish news from. the Northwest A
report from Minneapolis stated that threshing
returns showed exceedingly light yield OF
Oyheet ana that the movement of new spring
wheat will be necessarily light as urgent farm
work will prevent free deliveries before cold
weather good milling demand was reported
from the Northwest and this fact had stim-
ulatfng effect on the speculative trading here.
Heavy selling of May by big operators
readily taken. The market closed practically
at the highest. After selling at 81 0S1a. De-
cennber closed 1zc higher at 81 0S%. ~
firm undertone pervaded the corn market.
December closed up 1s9#c at 527s 4521c.
Trading in oats was of moderate volume.
December closed h@Ac up at 325k 933c.

Cause of Lockjaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanuS, is caused by
a bacillus or germ which exists plen-
tifully in street dirt. 1t is inactive
so long as exposed to the air, but
when carried beneath the skin, as in
the wounds caused by percussion caps
or by rusty nails, and when the air
is excluded the germ is reused to ac-
tivity and produces the most virulent
poison known. These germs may be
destroyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the in
jury is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to heal without
maturation and in one third the
time required by the usual treatment.
1t is for sale by all druggists.

The Chief Was Here.

Saturday afternoon Horace G. Clark
arrived in Greeley from Denver, via
tbe "stub train'' from LaSalle, and
shortly after that he was closeted
with his political lieutenant and
bosom friend, II. f. Churchill, IN
that gentleman's office. Here they
entered into discussion as to the
hest means to be used in quelllng
the INSTRUMENTATION of the anti
Churchillites, and it must have been
ouite satisfactory to the county
boss, for he feels that HOO s.
political influence in Greeley ana
county is far superior to his own.
Churchilll now feels confident OF
election. for ''Hod'' has pledged
himself to bring into line the MAJOR
itv of the recalcitrant republicans;
and that the the citizens ticket Will
not, be able to show a corporal S
guard of votes after the polls close.
But "Hod" is not in politics for
his health and it is dimes to dough-
nuts that If the Churchill ticket Is
successful in Weld county, every
candidate will have to make room IN

f. E. Won GOHRENn
Mr.. Won Gohren has authorized
the statement that he has received
the $500 back from Mr.. Davis after
the letter was written. Mr.. Davis.
ne says, came to Denver and met
him at hotel, and there paid into
his hands $50, with promise of com.
ing back on the following "Wednesday
ana paying the balance, $3.50. This
he did.
From other sources it is learned
that when Won Gohren began to push
the matter, II. E. Churchill called
together all the republican candi.
dates and assessed them. He then
TOOK the train to Denver and next
day Davis paid the money to Won
Gohren.
The Greeley tribune., 1904-10-26

presented the warrant and got the
money. AS to what disposition he
made of the funds after getting them
the public is not especially inter-
ested. The state had simply paid a
bin allowed by the assembly. and if
Mr.. Won Gohren fooled his money
away after receiving it that is his
lookout. But it would appear from
his own statement that after receiv-
ing the benefit from Mr.. Davis
service, and of some money expended
in his behalf, and after of his own
accord paying Mr.. Davis the sum
promised, he concluded to blackmail
him after he became a candidate for
office. and demanded and received
back the sum paid. That is all there
is to the story, according to Mr.. Won
Gohren, and the only parties upon
whom discredit may reflect are, first,
the big Welcher who first had his
own proposition accepted and who
afterward ''beefed'' like the boobv
he is, and second, The Tribune. who
would if necessary blacken the char
acter of every republican in the
county to elect its patron saint to
the state senate and earn the $1,000
slush fund said to have been paid it
for its influence in that direction
As for Mr.. Won Gohren, there is
scarcely business man in this COM
munity but has been touched by
him, from So up during his long
residence in the county, and his tale
of woe will be received for what it
is worth-nothing. And as for Mr.
Davis, the worst that can be said of
him is that he was indiscreet in
having anything whatever to do
with man ef Won Gohren's caliber.
There was nothing illegal in his
accepting the employment offered,
and nothing immoral; and there is
nothing in his connection With the
affair that should lose him vote,
and we predict that it will not. y

The above is more than half a
confession of guilt. Now il MIR.
Davis owns up to taking $500
illegally. why did he not at the
same time own up. as Mr.. NoL
Gohren charges, to him and IL. H.

another $500 with which they claimed
