Chicago, Oct. 31.-WHEAT-The more
favorable political outlook in Russia
brought out general selling today in the
wheat market here. and as a result the
market was extremely weak. In addition
to the foreign situation conditions in the
United States favored the bears. Rain
or snow had fallen quite generally over
the west and southwest, thus breaking
the drought in the winter wheat terr1-
tory. May opened ssM$zc to 1411sc lower
at 905z 6IS11sc, while december was of sa41
1gsc, at S9l4QS9szc- The downward course
of prices was checked by heavy pur-
chaseS by a leading bull, the May deliV-
cry steadying around SIC. For a time De-
cember held around S91zuSS5sc. A1lnneap-
oils, Duluth and Chicago reported re-
ceipts OF 1852 cars, against sol cars a year
ago.
Later prices declined stin further on
renewed selling, May dropping to Soc and
December to Se5sc. The market closed
steady, with May OF &c, at 905sd91c. De-
ceInber was down &c, at S9Ssc.
CORN-Weakness of wheat caused con-
siderable liquidation in the corn market
sentiment in the pit being quite bearIsh-
Covering by shorts checked the declining
tendency. December opened 34c to 7a49sc

cember up 4sc, at 461sc-
OATS-Sentment in the oats market
was bearish in sympathy with weakness
of other grains. Commission houses and
small holders were sellers. Buying was
scattered. December opened sc lower, at
S01sc, and held around 309s0301zc.
VISIONS-Provisions we're easier,
partly as a result OF the break in grain
prices and partly in sympathy with a SC
decline in the price of live hogs. The
volume of trading was small. January

CELLS THAT DEvoUR GERMS.
Natures Method of Healing Wounds
and Preventing PutrefactiOn.

To the white corpuscles of the
blood, as also to all those similar
freely moving cells of the lynn
phatic glands of the nerve fluids
Chose colorless liquids which lubri-
cate the sinews, the spinal marrow.
the walls Of the stomach, etc. y Pro-
fessor Metchnikoff has given the name
of pllago eytes@fecells which devour,a'
and pl4ag 0cytoSis is simply the general
term which denotes their action.
If you have run pin into your
thumb or received a bayonet thrust
at Port Arthur precisely the same
thing takes place. A myriad of these
tiny first aid cells from the sur
rounding blood vessels and Emphatic
glands at once come hurrying to the
rescue. They begin to clean up
whatever wreck there has been made
in the skin and muscular tissue. They.
eagerly absorb into themselves or
cluster oppOsingly about all foreign
matter that has been introduced into
the wound. Then they proceed to pile
themselves tier upon tier around it
like SO many little sandbags about a.
broken bastiOn. Later they gradually
join together and solidify into the
layer of new skin which appears be-
meath the sIOughed-Off scab. They are
at once wOrkmen and repairing ma
| terial.
But, as the father of antiseptics
pointed out, they also have to strug-
gle against microbes OF putrefacuon.
And here there is something very like
an actual battle. Still more, in so far
as it lies in the capacity of the defend
ers, the invading germs are not only
killed; they are likewise swallowed
and digestedI Nor is this merely an
| occasional miracle. 1t is taking place
almost without intermission in the
pores of the skin and the digestive
tube, in the spongy walls of the
mouth and nostrils and throat and
/ lungs-wh erever, indeed, the attack
ing microbes seek to find an entrance.
Where we are protected once by
spoon-a administered medicines we are
protected a thousand times by the
power of an innumerable army of
| microscopic stomachsi - Mcclure s

that the strike must be continued

NEARLY UNRAVELED.
Mystery of the Boston Suit Case Muir
der About to Be Solved. -.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 31.-The heads
of the local police and detective bureaus
are firmly Of the opinion that they now
have in their possession enough infor-
nation to thoroughly clear up the cele-
brated Boston suit case mystery.
AS the result of admissions made by
the prisoner. Morris Nathan, when
questioned this afternoon they are al
most positive that the death of Susan
Geary resulted from criminal opera
ton performed by a woman in Boston
and that the body of the girl was after
wards mutilated to hide the fact The
name Of the woman has been divulged
and on receiving this information the
officers Immediately wired to the Bos-
ton authorities to apprehend her.
While Nathan does not appear to
know enough to lead to positive con-
illusions, he gives sufficient information
to settle the mystery in the minds Of
the Pittsburg detectives. Nathan ad-
mitted under pressure that while the
last time he saw the girl was on Sep
TENDER 8, he knew that the girl had
contemplated and discussed with him
the ACCESSIBILITY of submitting to a
criminal operation and that during
more than one of these converse IONS
the name of the woman to whom she
proposed to go had been mentioned and
the conclusions is that she finally car
ried out this plan with a result fatal tt
berssIf.

PROVIDE A cHAPERON J. {:
Geo, Bchnett Must see That His Boys
Go to School.

The case of George Bennett charged
with not sending his boys to school was
called in the city court this morning.
and the action dismissed. Bennett, who
is a foreman in the Santa Fe shops,
was arrested on a similar charge a year
ago and sentenced suspended on his
promise to see that his boys would be
sent to school It seems that the father
does not have control OF the boys that
a parent should have and while they
start for school that something of an
inviting nature happens to attract their
attention there is no school for the boys
that day. BY an agreement between
the parent Of the boys and the authori-
ties he was given one more chance. Ben
nett entered into an agreement whereby
he promises to provide an attendant
who viii accompany the boys to the
school and turn them over to their
teacher

It was intended that the marines
should escort the president out of the
yard, but at the conclusion of the trib-
ute to the flag, Mrs. Roosevelt drove up
from behind the guard, the president en-
tered the carriage, warmly grasped the
hand of his wife and his carriage pro-
ceeded out of the yard. The crowd

M'CABE TO KANSAS CITY
City Engineer Goes Down on a NISs-
FERROUS Mission.

City Engineer McCabe quietly
slipped out of town Monday morning

CALLS IN EDITORS.
Count Witte Asks the Help of the
Newspapers. - i.ar.s.5sa

st. Petersburg. oct. 81.-Count
White today summoned a conference
of the editors of all the St. Peters
burg neWSpa pers and asked their aid
and cooperation in restoring normal
conditions and securing the confidence
of the people in the new regime, the
purpose of which was to give the full
est measure of liberty outlined in the
manifesto The count said he had
telegraphed to many eminent liberals
to come to St. Petersburg and assist
in putting the new administration on
q solid and acceptable footing, but
while the railroad strike prevented
their arrival he was forced to rely on
the sober sense of the St Petersburg
press, without whose assistance IN
calming the people the government
could do nothing positive and would
be obliged to content 1tseir with mega
tive and even reactionary measures.
The editors present expressed the
fullest confidence in Count Witte, but
declared that they could not publish
their papers without the consent of
the strike committee.
The editors Of the radical papers said
that to contest the people it was nee
essary to give the fullest amenesty to
political prisoners and remove General
Trepoff, the Cossacks and the other
military forces from the city
Count Witte said the government in
tended to proclaim amnesty. A mani
festo was being prepared but every
thing could not be done in a day. He
added that it would be madness to re-
move the trooDs from the city at such
a juncture.
Rejoicing at Warsaw.
Warsaw, Oct. 31.-The imperial mani
festo granting q constitution to Russia,

lace. They. embraced in the restau-
rants and there was universal rejoicing

CHANCE FOR LION HUNTERS.
Cougars Multiplying Too Rapidly in
Yellowstone National Park.

Mountain lions have increased so rap
idly in Yellowstone park of late that
they threaten the extinction of deer, elk
and other wild animals that live in this
great government game preserve. So
numerous have the cougars become that
the government, through President
RoOsevelt's recommendation, has given
John and Homer Golf, celebrated guides
and hunters at Meeker, Col, a con-
tract to clear the lions out of Yellow
stone park John Golf is the guide who
won fame taking President Roosevelt
on his successful cougar-hunting trip
to Colorado.
The work of hunting lions in Yellow
stone park viii, it is estimated, take
several persons, and in the meantime
there is a demand for lion hunters in
Colorado. Wyoming and other cattle
states, where stOckmen are suffering
great losses from these predatory ami
mails. Cougars are said to be on the in
crease in the Rocky mountains.
Owing to the enormous number of
mountain lions in Yellowstone park the
government will not have to pay a
large bounty to the Golf brothers. The
hunters will receive a bounty of So on
each mountain lion they kill, in addi
ton to a salary of SO month each
for their work. Most of the work VIII
be done between the spring and fall,
for. the winters are very severe in yell
lowstone park. the climatic conditions
being almost arctic, owing to the mols-
ture generated by many geysers- The
Con brothers have the largest and I'm
est pack of cougar hounds in the world
For some reason the mountain lion
prefers the flesh of a colt to that Of any
other animal, and cougars have. become
the terror OF horse raisers in the Rocky
mountain states. It is estimated that
as result Of the ravages of mountain
lions in the last year not 50 colts are
left alive on the ranges between Phoe-
