WHEAT-The news during the past few
day has been decidedly encouraging to
believers in higher prices for wheat. The
Liverpool and continental markets have
all been showing increased strength There
has been received at primary points to
date about million bushels more than
last year, but what is called the visible
supply remains about the same Ship
during this crop year, have been about
ten times larger than last year The
worlds consumption of wheat this year
is breaking all former records, and this
is the chief cause for mich higher prices
Chicago correspondent says
We are the exporters of finished man
ufactured goods and consumers of our
own raw products at home. Home la
borers consume our wheat, while manu-
featuring iron, steel bridge, structural
and railroad equipment for England, Ger
many and France. A few years ago we
were exporting this wheat to feed those
who manufactured these things in Isu-
rope, whence we imported them. Not to
comprehend the effect of this double re-
versaI of conditions is to be ignorant Of
our own strong and independent position.
This change means at once the enrich
ment of our people instead of the impov-
erishment and waste OF our soil. Not to
admit the beneficial results of this change
is to miss the opportunities that are open
ing before you. They give our wage
learners the ability to buy. our producers
the power to hold for good prices, and
our merchants big profits through ex-
change All these operate together to
prevent depression and guarantee sue
cess to him who has courage to follow
the unmistalHable signs of the tines
In my opinion there is not much risk on
speculation in buying wheat at current
prices. All you need is a little patience
to expect higher prices later on.
CORN-The crop is fully 800 million
bushels larger than last year I-beIieve
as soon as shipments began to move free
" the price will go down to So cents in
kansas City market and 20 cents in Chi
cago, and it is not a low price, consider
ing the size Of the crop just being gath
PROvIsIONs-If you deal in pork get
it at one extreme or the other. If you are
a bear believe you will get a. chance to
walls I don't believe hogs are scarce.
STOCKS@Indication are that railroad
stocks will sell higher. United States
steel stocks are getting active and pros
poets are that the next statement viii be
highly satisfactory and q big speculative
wave is likely to sweep over these shares
and carry them to much higher prices

The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1905-03-15

Great as has been the amount of
labor expended on the various Bible
of the world the palm FOR execution
must be given to the Kutho-daw,
which is Buddhist monument near
Mandalay in Burmah. 1t consists of
about 700 temples each containing a
slab of white marble, on which the
whole of the Buddhist Bibles, contain
ing more than 100000 syllables, has
been engraved. The Burmese alph-
abet is used, but the language Is Pail.
This wonderful Bible is absolutely
unique. The Kutho-daw was erected
in 1867 by Mindon-min, the last King
but one of Burmah. The vast col
lection of temples together form a
square, with dominating temple
in the center. Each of the marble
slabs on which the sacred text is in
scribed Is surmounted by an ornamen-
tai canopy in pagoda form.

1863 his own father died. still execu
toner at Rennes. He himself contn-
ued to live In the family of his father
in-law and to assist him in his work
until the law of 1871 came to suppress
the separate posts of executioner in
the PROVINCES Louis Deibler was
called to Paris and, in the quality OF
assistant of the first class, he was at
tached to M. Roch the Monsieur de
Paris" of the day. M. Roch died in
1879, and M. Diebler succeeded him
and exercised" during all of 20 long
years.
Louis Deibler had barely entered on
his functions as executioner for Paris
and all France when he was called to
Agen to guillotine Laprade, youth
OF 20 years, who had assassinated his
father, mother and grandmother. The
execution was duly carried out on May
19, 1879; but the new executioner met
with such resistance from the young
villain that he was obliged to bang
his head against the side of the gull
iO'ihV until nc Wuo pidSllSdily luoSn'
sible.
His second victim was the cele-
brated Prunier, condemned in Sep
tember of the same year for the assas'
sination of an old woman with ag.
gravating circumstances. Prunier was
% years old and showed extreme
courage In his last moment, smoking a
cigarette as he walked iauntily to the
guillotine. Another execution of his
first year as Monsieur de Paris
made great talk. 1t was that of the
policeman Provost, who had a mag
nificent record for honesty and BRAY
cry, but was found to have robbed a
jeweller and cut his body into rs
pieces. To the establishment of his
chiefs, he confessed to the previous
assassination of a young girl. He
walked to the guillotine with firm
ness, saying that he had not enough
blood to wash away his crimes.
But Louis Deibler's experience of his
sad mission in life was not to be lin
| tied even to the victims themselves
