OVERSTAYED THE MARKET.
The Collapse of the May Wheat Cor
ner and the Causes Lead
ing to 1t.

Chicago, April 25.-The losses in the
collapse of the May corner" in wheat
will be heavily augmented when the
5000, 900 or 5000, 900 bushels which it
it believed the pool still holds is put
on the market. This may drive the
price down near the July figures, or
under 80 cents.
The Gates losses to date are various
Iy estimated from 81, 200, 900 to 5 ,000,-
O0O,O and will in all probability reach
the latter figure before the corpse" is
buried. The big loss is not so hard a
blow to the Gates contingent as the
humiliation of having failed to make
good" and to have b%lundered on to
inglorious defeat when a splendid vic
tory was at one time within grasp.
1t is generally agreed that the May
deal collapsed so disastrously because
the leaders o~verstayed the market.
They failed to sell out at the right
time some two months ago.. Instead of
a possible profit of $500, 900 had the
deal been closed in February, it has
resulted now in a Waterloo for the
Napoleon of plungers.

JOE JEFFERSON is DEAD.
The W~eIi-Knovn Actor Responds to
the Last Call mt His winter
Home I'm Florida.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April "a
Joseph Jefferson, the eminent actor,
died at his home, "The Reefs" at Palm
Beach, al 6:15 Sunday evening. The
end came after a day of unconscious
ness, and after a heroic struggle. OF
days which had exhausted his vitality.
At his deathbed were his wife, his
sons, Charles B. and Frank Jefferson,
his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham, DR..
r. B. Porter, and his faithful old serv-
ant, Carl Kettler. !.
Mr.. jefferson was bora in Philadel-
phia February 20, 1929, and had been
on the stage since childhood.
The end was not a surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
spell, which came after a rally on
Thursday morning, and which was fol-
lowed by an apparent improvement UNI
til Friday, the family has been waiting
for the end. Mr.. Jefferson's condition,
Saturday night, grew steadily worse,
and the family. who had retired, were
summoned from their beds, and DR..
Potter was called. The patients con-
ditior continued to grow worse all
through Sunday, and the brief bulletins
from the bedside contained no words
of encouragement.
The illness of Mr.. Jefferson, which
ended in his death, was contracted, 1t
is believed, while on a recent visit to
his son, Charles B. Jefferson, at Hobe
sound, a few miles above Palm Beach,
where he went to meet his friend,
former President Cleveland. 1t is be-
lieved that from a slight indiscretion
in his eating there he suffered an at
tack of indigestion. Since his return
to his home his condition grew steadi-
ly worse with slight rallies until the
end.

Others Carry Wounds.
Thomas. Capt. Brown and John
II. Mills, the Dead.

Hampstead, Tex, April 26.-As a re-
suit of the bloody battle here Monday
night, when four men were killed and
others were wounded, Hampstead is
under the control Of the Texas rangers.
Martial law has not been declared, but
the announcement is made by the adj
jutant general that a number of rang
ers had assumed charge of affairs. No
one is permitted to bear arms, and the
excitement at first manifested has quiz
eted down.
Rolan Brown, the son of one of the
men killed al the prohibition meeting,
Monday night, has been placed under
arrest on a charge of firing the shot
which killed Representative Pinckney.
He stated that his father was under
the influence of intoxicants when he
attended the meeting, and that he (the
SOM attempted to dissuade him from
attending. His father was firm, how
ever, in his intention, and went to the

part in the shooting. 1t has been eS-
tablished that the trouble began when
Capt. Brown attempted to secure rec
ignition to speak at the meeting. 1t
is said his language was offensive to
several ladies present, and the fusillade
began Immediately afterwards. Con-
gressman Pinckney was shot four
times. and was almost Immediately
killed. Thomas Pinckney, a brother OF
the congressman, was shot twice in the
back and killed, and Capt. Brown re-
ceived a bullet through the heart.
John z. Mills, the remaining victim,
took no part in the affair and was &C
cidentally killed by a stray bullet.
The killings are the direct result of
a prohibition movement in Waller
county, which was begun some years
ago, and the feeling has been intense.

Ore Who Broke Down from Six Years OF
Overwork Tells How She Escaped
Misery of Enforced Idleness.
"I had been teaching in the city
schools steadily for six years. said Miss
James, whose recent return to the work
from which she was driven by nervous
collapse has attracted attention. sThey
were greatly overcrowded, especially in
the primary department of which / had
charge, and I had been doing the work
Of two teachers. The strain was too
much for my nerves and two years ago
the crisis came.
az was Frustrated mentally and ply
sically, sent in my resignation and never
expected to be able to resume work. 1t
seemed to me then that / was the most
miserable woman on earth. i was tor
tured by nervous headaches, worn outb by
Inability to sleep, and had 70 little
blood that ] was as white as chalk.
"After my active life, it was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discouraging
to keep paying out the savings Of years
for medicines which did me no good"
"Howd did youg get back your health?"
ga bare chance and O lot of faith led
me to a cure. After I had suffered for
many months, and when I was on the
very verge Of despair, I happened to read
an account of some cures effected by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The state
ments were so convincing that l some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, I think, buy only
one box for q trial, but I purchased six
boxes at once, and when I had used
them up, I was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite, gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, in
fact freed me from all my numerous all
ments. I have already taught for several
months, and I cannot say enough in
praise of DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Miss Margaret M. James is now living
at No. 1913 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio.
Many Of her fellow teachers have also
used DIR. Williams Pink Pills and are
enthusiastic about their merits. Sound
digestion, strength, ambition, and cheer
full spirits quickly follow their use. They
are sold in every drug store in the
world.
