E. n. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago. Jan. 4-Wheat-The wheat
market has been nervous and rath-
err narrow affair all day. The volume
of business has been moderate ana
prices have not been over half a cent
either way from yesterdays closing
figures. The Bradstreet statement
showing decrease of 2,56l,OOO pushels
was bullish compared with an Increase
Of $1,000 bushels the corresponding
week last year. There was no I'M
provement here and only a little in
cash wheat southwest. Liverpool clos
ed unchanged to " higher. Broomhall
said that Argentine and Indian ship
ments are increasing. Ohio crop report
was bullish-
Corn-Corn was very weak and ex-'
trennely active early, but became dull
and some steadier later. Bradstreet re-
ported an increase Of 2,787,000 bushels.
The export trade was down to small
proportions. Quite large quantity OF
long corn came on sale early and was
taken by leading shorts. There was
additional short selling also. Local
stocks of corn increased $4,000 bushels
last week of all sorts in public and
private warehouses increased 100000.
Exports were 10000 bushels. Local
cash sales $4,000 bushels. Some Of the
heaviest sellers of yesterday bought
corn today to cover short sales.
Oats-There was weak market
early and some recovery later. North
western interests were making hedging
sales of oats here against holdings at
Minneapolis because of the wider diff
ferences.

1T ALWAYS HELPS

An ailment like consump
ton that has been months
and years getting a foothold
cannot be relieved in q, week
or day. SCOTS Emulsion
will always afford relief and
often cure, but not over night.
The consistent use of SCOTS
Emulsion will positively help
the consumptive at any
stage of the disease. We
guarantee nothing beyond
this, but we know that right
living and SCOTS Emulsion
have done more to cure con-
sumption than anything else

BAPTISTS FORM A
 DISTRICT UNION
GWYLLUM HERBERT OF BESSIE MFR ELECTED PRESIDENT OF ORGANIZATIONS COMPOSED OF MEMBERS OF B. Y. P. U.

At meeting of over one hundred mem- bers of the Baptist Young Peoples union, held last night at the Southside Baptist church, district union was organized and Gwyilum Herbert of Bessemer was elected president.
 T. H. Johnston of the Southside Bap- tist church was elected to the vice pres- dency. Charles Weaver of the First Bap- tist church was chosen as secretary. All of the officers were elected by acclima- ton. Upon motion of the Rev. w. s. Brown of the Fountain Heights Baptist church the presidents of the several local organizations of the Baptist Young Peo- ple's union were appointed an executive committee of the district union.
 The Rev. Dr. J. M. Shelburne, pastor of the East Lake Baptist church, delivered an address on the Value of the Human Soul" He dwelt at length on the im- portance of soul gaining as a feature of the work to be done by the Baptist Young Peoples union. He spoke of the suprem- acy of the soul to ths physical and intel lectual part of life and the effect that the proper influence brought to bear on the soul could have on tn, person.
 "The greatest philanthropists of the age," said pr. Shelburne, ''are not the men with the greatest intellectual or financial ability, but the men with the greatest power to win souls, and men who do their share in the work of winning souls.
 "The life of the business man Is very mechanical and too many men make 1t even more so than is necessary. The person who devotes his entire time to his business and individual pleasure does very little in this world. Ones time should not be consumed solely in the pursuit of business. He should get out and mix with his fellow men, let them know his views and share the benefits of his experience with them. He should devote a large portion of his time to the work of gaining souls and helping human kind It is far better for father to be able to live an exemplary life for his sons benefit and show him the true pleas ures and duties of life than to leave him a million dollars

TRY TWO MEN TODAY
 ON SERIOUS CHARGE
CASES AGAINST LEE EDMUNDSoN AND FRANK MORAGNE WILL BE CALLED TODAY BY JUDGE FEA- GIN IN POLICE COURT.

The cases against Lee Edmundson and Frank Moragne which caused so much talk in the city yesterday will be tried today. The former is charged with vag- rancy and resisting an officer, and the latter with vagrancy and interfering with an officer.
 Policeman Gates claims that the two men attacked him and took his pistol away from him in a tussle on the third floor above a billiard parlor on Second avenue between Eighteenth and Nine- teentt streets, and that both of them threatened to kill him.
 The trial will probably be one of the most interesting ever tried in the police court. Edmundson and Moragne have both made statements in which they lay all blame for the encounter on the police man and claim that he attempted to club the former and tried to draw his pistol to shoot him.
 The trouble occurred In place that the police claim was to be opened as a gamb- ling house, and Chief Wier detailed Po- llceman Gates to watch the place. He was in the discharge of his duty when the affair took place.

STRANGE TRUE STORY
 OF A GEORGIA CORPSE

out on the floor and apparently hfeless. He examined him and found in his pock- cts the address of a man who lived in a village several hours ride up the road. With presence of mind the conductor tele- graphed this friend of what had happen ed, advising him that the passenger was dead and the body would be put of the train at the station where the friend lived.
 When the train arrived at the village station, heavy lifeless body was taken out of the caboose by four bareheaded members of the freight trains crew and carried reverently to the little station. The friend of the dead man was there, hat in hand, bringing up the end of the procession. Condolences were offered by the conductor and crew, and few mo- ments later the train was winding its way through the valley beyond the vil- lage, leaving the corpse in the little sta- ton with heartbroken villager sitting nearby.
 That night when the freight train made it's return trip it stopped at the cross roads in response to a sig1il. When the conductor got off the car he saw two men standing on the station platform. In one he recognized the corpse he had put off the car that morning; in the other he recognized the friend to whom a telegraph message had been sent Explan- ations, of course, followed. Thirty min utes after the freight train had pulled out of the little station that morning, said the friend the corpse had drowsily opened it's eyes and looked wonderingly | 4x.4r Fs-tn ct ofFan fnn Epiliptic fits, he added, did not always | lead to mortal results.
