nuN,s INDEX NUMBER.

Dun's index number OF commodity prices pro-
portloned TO consumption was slo22oS on May l.
against 500 sS2 a month previous and esl at the
corresponding date last year. II is remarkable
that the net change IN the cost OF living was so
small during April because there were numerous
fluctuations and many important events bearing
upon quotations OF the leading staple products.
Were this index number prepared without regard
% the relative importance OF each article. and an
equal quantity taken OF all the many hundred COM
mOditel. there would probably appear consider
able decline, because in so many cases where con-
sumption is small there occurred proportionately
heavy reductions IN price. A striking example OF
this Is the fan OF y cents pound in canphOr. But
ta order 20 fairly represent the OF prices II
Is essential that quantities OF each commodity be
taken according 70 the per capita consumption. On
this basis IL Is found that the cost OF living has
been cheapened but little. numerous declines IN
articles OF small importance being almost wholly
Offset BY advances in e few products OF extensive
consumption.

entirely replanted, while parts of oth- CTS have germinated.
 No planting has been done in the northern districts, but tests made show that a considerable proportion of the seed will not germinate. The result is that farmers are refusing to make contracts for acreage and 1t begins to look as if, in New York state especial ly, only a fraction of the usual acreage will be planted this year. Packers are worried and do not dare make further future sales. pending the decision of growers.
 When asked the cause for this fail ure to germinate an expert said it is undoubtedly the result of planting corn year after year on the same ground. In time IL exhausts that portion of the nGurishment in the soil which supplies the germinating principle. "The fields, '" he said, should lie fallow a year or two and when reploughed should be properly fertilized. The same difficulty is experienced in the west where the prairies are planted with corn year af- ter year. There must be a change Of crops occasionally or the land becomes exhausted"

Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson brought back good story from Rich mond, Va, which he utilized Saturday at the Twentieth Century club to il- lustrate a point.
 "A lady who had had considerable trouble with her servants engaged d new one upon the recommendation produced, and for a week or two ev- erything seemed satisfactory. After q while the husbands favorite brandy began strangely and rapidly to dimin- ish, and the wife, by observing the girl became convinced that she was re- sponsible for the disappearance, and discharged. her. A few days later the servant returned, and in distress and tears besought her mistress to give her a recommendation. The lady was pug zled as to what she might say. but finally concocted this: I have not been entirely satisfied that this young woman is just what I wanted, but am reasonably sure that she has something good inside of her.

 MT. Heimberger had been a remark ably healthy man all his life but about ten days ago he contracted a severe cold, nd symptoms of stomach troubles set ir, which developed into acute in hammation of that organ. The disease to be progressing satisfactori- ly when alarming symptoms manifested themselves. The resources of medical science were taxed in vain. The pa- tient gradually grew weaker and short ly before his death passed into a state of unconsciousness.
 Heimberger was born in New York city and came to Colorado in 1887. He came to Leadville and began q news paper career. He had always made Leadville his home.

THE LENGTH OF A DREAM.

The other afternoon said doctor, 1T called to see a patient, and much to my satisfaction, I found him sleeping soundly. I sat by his bed, felt his pulse without disturbing him, and waited for him to awaken. After a few minutes a dealers cart, with .d!scord- ant ringing bells. turned into the street and as their first tones reached me my patient opened his eyes.
 Doctor he said, I'm glad to SC you and awfully glad that you woke me, for I have been tortured by a most distressing dream that must have last ed several hours. I dreamed that I was sick, as I am, and that my boy cam into the room with a string of most horribly sounding bells and rang them in my ears while I hadn't the power to move or speak to him. I suffered tortues for what appeared to be inter minable time, and I'm so glad you woke me-
 The ringing of those bells for one second had caused all that dream, and just at the waking moment."-Llver- pool Post.

Call on French Minister to Use His
Endeavors.

Washington, May S1.-The following
cablegram has been received at the
navy department from Rear Admiral
Chadwick, commanding the South At
lantic squadron at Tangier:
1.-THE seizure of the American citizen
was by an insurgent chief so as TO
bring pressure on the Sultan of Mo-
rocco to secure the demands of the
tribe. Our sense Of the gravity of the
case ia shown by the presence of the
American squadron and will undoubt =
eddy cause the earlier yielding by the
Sultan of Morocco to the demands OF
the chief, which is the only safe means
Of releasing the captives."
There is the highest authority 1of
the statement that an attack on ran
gier or an expedition against the brig
ands will be followed by the immedl :
ate murder of the captives.
At the instance of Secretary Hay no
instructions will be sent Rear Admiral
Chadwick for the present pending the
result of the representations of Am
bassador Porter at Paris to the French
government, requesting the exercise OF
its good offices in obtaining the release
Of the captives.
