MAY CORN TAKES A DROP.
Yields Eight Cents on Selling BY Profit
Takers.

Chicago, May 26. After touching
568 cents, a new high record mark for
last years crop, corn for May delivery
broke 3 cents bushel here during the
day. The slump was due to selling
by smaller longs, who were anxious to
secure tempting profits occurring from
the efforts of several prominent trad
ers to corner" the market. The high
est point of the day was reached on
initial transactions, opening quotations
being at 6711s to 6S cents. Before the
end of the first half hour the price
yielded to profit taking, selling Off to
6411s cents. Later the price dropped
precipitately to so cents bushel.
A partial recovery was made on re-
neWed covering by shorts: Final quo,

HONOLULU, May "a novel method
of trying to throttle outside competition
and incidentally discourage the at
tempts of outside concerns to get
share In the transportation of japanese
to the mainland was put into operation
here.
Although the community had been
short of coal for months a cargo OF
LII tons OF Black Diamond coal which
was put up at auction was boycottea-
This boycott forced the coal TO be kept
aboard the steamship Olympia. upon
which it had been brought from Seat
tie to Honolulu. and made that part
of the vessels trip a loss.
The Olympia arrived here April 15
from Seattle under a special charter to
take about 600 Japanese laborers to
Seattle She brought the cargo as
speculation.
1t was impossible for the local in
terests to discourage the Japanese from
taking passage to Seattle by the Olyfn-
pia, as all were under contract TO work
for the Great Northern railroad in
Montana. but the various interests COM
bined not to patronize the coal on the
vessel
The result was that the coal was Of
fered at auction at an upset price of s.
a ton, and, although coal was selling
a about s. ton at the time. there was
not a bid made. and the cargo was left
untouched.

OBITUARY..

Mrs. Eady Cobler Miller, wife of
William H. Miller, who resides on
North Jefferson street, died suddenly
Monday morning April 10. On Sunday
she seemed as well as usual and the
day was spent with relatives and
friends near Bladensburg. About mid
night Sunday she was taken with an
attack of heart trouble and died about
an hour later. Mrs. Miller was born
September 10, 1889. She was the
daughter of Louis and Nancy Cobler,
and had been resident of Wapello
county since 1s43. For the past few
years Mr.. and Mrs. Miller had resided
in Ottumwa but their acquaintance
and social life has been largely with
the friends near Bladensburg. Mrs.
Miller's life was given largely to her
home and family. She leaves two sons
and daughter, Louis e. Miller, c. e.
Miller and Mrs. Mary ]. Giltner She
was member Of the Christian church
of Bladensburg having united with the
church in August, 1896. Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller were among the early settlers Of
the county and large company of
friends gathered p4 the family resi-
dence to attend the funeral services
which were conducted on Wednesday
afternoon by Rev. w. ]. Lockhart, pas

81 FLIGHTS

1t was on Main street. Two men
were walking eastward, side by side,
and met a colored man going in the
opposite direction. All were in rea-
sonably good humor, and nothing
either in general or in particular
seemed to be out of gear anywhere in
that immediate vicinity
But-in three seconds from the time
they met, things were all mixed up
black fists, white fists, a tall,
long black man and a short,
heavy set white man were all
tangled up in kind of whirly-gig
that went around so fast that one
couldn't tell where the white left off
and the dark began.
This is the way 1t happened: When
the parties met, each tried to step to
one side, and one Of the white men
stepped to his left and the colored man
stepped to his right, then they both
stepped in the same direction again,
then once more they tried it, but were
still face to face. Then the colored
man solved the question by pushing
the other fellow off the sidewalk
That is where he made mistake

HOW 70 CURE INSOMNIA.

Philadelphia 1nquirer.-Lying awake
is often a habit. 1t is worth almost
any effort to break up such a habit.
Insomnia is usually the result of one
of three things-poor circulation, in
digestion or mental distress. The per-
son who studies himself carefully will
be able to locate the difficulty and
treat himself accordingly.
For poor circulation try warm baths
warm water bottles, brisk rubbing,
soaking the feet and deep breathing.
For indigestion take a warm drink
before retiring or when sleepless.
Drink warm water, warm milk. weak
tea or cocoa and breathe deeply.
For menal distress mere will power
Is the best. Close the eyes and as
fast as the thoughts come drive them
out. Garry on in the mind a house,
cleaning process.
Sweet sleep and plenty Of 1t will go
a great way toward keeping women
young. When sleep departs wrinkles
come.
1t is bv sleep that we gain strength
for another day. Sleep is to the brain
Here are a few simple, tried rules
for driving away insomnia:
Go to bed warm. Never go to bed
with cold feet.
If the events Of the day have been try
ing, read a short, light story before
retiring.
Leave the window down at the top
and protect the bed from draughts.
AS soon as the body touches the bed
relax the muscles, shut the eyes and
make ready to sleep. Nothing drives
away sleep more quickly than the
thought that one can't sleep.

FARMER BRYAN AND HIS PLow

Washington Post.-'T left my plow
standing in the field to come to Des
Moines and mingle with my friends"
said VIM. j. Bryan when he arrived In
Des Moines, Ia, last Saturday. The
slovenly habit of leaving farming i'm
plements standing in the field" ex-
posed to all sorts of weather, costs the
year-dollars twice as good as the
kind to which Farmer Bryan still
stands irrevocably pledged Hundreds
OF intelligent and progressive agricul-
tur1sts have spoken nd written on this
important practical question, and some
OF them have been cheered with the
hope that SO utterly wanton and in
excusable an abuse would soon yield
to reformatory influences. But Far
mer Bryan expunges that hope. When
he, the most conspicuous farmer in the
United States, announces to his coun-
trymen through the Associated Press
that II left my pillow standing in the
field" he lends the puissant force of
eminent example to the worst phase Of
agricultural improvidence
If Mr.. Bryan had been interrupted In
his blowing by a sudden and unex-
pected call Of paramount Importance
such, for instance, as the writing of a
friends last will and testament or the
capture Of an issue for 1908 he might
have been excused for leaving his
plow standing In the field" That would
have been an occasion demanding dis
patch. In response to such an emer-
gency demand. Farmer Bryan would
have merited no reproach had he halt
ed his faithful mule-the big gray
mule imported from Missouri-with an
imperative Whoa, Cabel," unhitched
the traces from the whiffletree, thrown
them over the mules back. mounted
in hot haste, and galloped to the
stable. But not even that valid ex-
cuse for leaving his plow exposed to
rain and sun would have necessitated
or palliated his advertising Of such
treatment Of the most useful Of all
agricultural appliances. AS 1t was
however, Farmer Bryan's departure
from the field was not unexpected. He
deliberately left his plow to meet an
engagement Of many days standing.
And the fact that he took pains to let
the country know where and how he
had left his pillow shows either that he
thinks that a good example to hold up
to his agricultural brethren or that he

ARE BIG GUNS PRACTICAL?

The navy department Of the United
States has a new question to face
and In view Of the additions being
made to the navy and the growing
popularity Of big guns Of large bore it
Is an important question. It has been
brought prominently before the public
eye as well as the official eye by the
explosion on board the Iowa a few
days ago of one Of the eight inch guns
of which that vessel has several. The
muzzle was blown off the gun after it
had been fired something like 1O3
times and although no one was injured
by the accident it brings up a serious
question as to the practicability of the
big guns.
Investigation has not proceeded far
enough as yet to determine whether
the break was caused by too
much firing or by a weak
ness in the metal of which the
barrel is made. However it would
hardly seem that the cause was the
latter because the gun had been fired
more than hundred times without
mfshap and the charge used when the
explosion occurred was not as large
as was used when the gun was first
put into commission. Well informed
naval men think the heavy charges are
too strong for any metal to withstand
and that the life of the big guns is
limited to 100 or possibly few more
flrings. IF this Is the case the plans
Of the navy department will no doubt
be changed considerably and smaller
guns substituted for the large ones In
the warshtps now in course Of con-
