Dun's Market Review,

Following is Dun's current review
of the eastern markets:
mo change is noted in the wool
situation, which is somewhat quiet be-
cause of the indifference of dealers,
who are not willing to make conces-
find ranch owners inclined to ask high
er prices than promise profit. AS the
mills are fairly well supplied for cur
rent requirements, the result is some
thing of a deadlock There is conf
dence in subsequent broadening of
inquiry, and no encouragement for
lower prices is found in cables re
gardng the foreign situation.
"Boston-The local wool trading is
featureless, and, aside from the trans
fer of a. few small lots of territory
nothing has been accomplished in mar
keting the new clip, which is coming
in steadily, though less freely than a
year ago. There is more demand fol
domestic secured woods, as being rel
atively cheaper than greasy. Buyers
are taking samples with more freedom,
and dealers anticipate more active
buying in a short time. The market is
firm and high prices are demanded fol
the new woods. Eastern dealers are
operating more or less extensively il

DESPERATE STRUGGLE.
Men Work All Night to Save Man
From Death.

From Oeatn.
New York, July 5.-After fighting
death for more than % hours Jere-
miah Fisher, a plumber was rescued
alive today from sandpit at Temp
kinsville, Staten Island, in which he
had been imprisoned since yesterday
forenoon. Fisher is in a pitiable con-
dition from exhaustion and may not
survive.
Fisher was working in an excavation
when a passing street car loosened
the ground and sent down an ava
lanche of sand upon him. The sand
sifted in around his legs, holding him
as in wise, and gradually rising until
only his head was visible.
For hours a large force of rescuers
worked with frantic haste in an effort
TO save the imprisoned man, but the
sitting sand surged back and renewed
its grip upon the prisoner almost as
fast as they could remove it. When
the rescuers began to abandon hope
of getting Fisher out alive they reluct-
antly decided to notify his family OF
his predicament and the wife, mother
and brother were witnesses of the all
night fight for life that followed.
Hundreds of persons docked to the
scene and many OF them remained
throughout the night. Two clergymen
who had heen summoned awaited the
call to administer the last rites should
/ the task OF the rescuers prove una
vailing. When daylight came the res
cuers had succeeded in uncOvering the
imprisoned mans body as far down
as the hips. Then ropes were attach
ed under Fishers arms, but the com
bined strength of twenty men failet
even to move the imprisoned man al
/ inch. Fisher then was unconscious
and the physicians who had beel
watching his condition declared tina
there remained only the faintest hop
|, of his surviving much longer. IN
; 1escuers stuck to their task, however
and hours later. when the last obstacl
was removed and the senseless form
of Fisher was drawn from the Stiflin
) hole, spark of life still fingered.
! His condition was extremely crit
: cal, but the physicians said that Their
remained a chance that he might r.
cover.

IN QUEER OLD POTTERY:.
Grotesque Black Vessels Dug UP by
South American Miners.

Beneath the soil of the South Amer
lean republic of Colombia there has
just been brought to light some re-
markable buried treasures in the line
of curious animal shaped pottery, each
incised and made OF black clay. These
specimens are perhaps the only YES
tige left of the vanished empire of the
Chibchas, which fiourished in this reg
ion in pre-Spanish times. The Amer
lean Museum OF Natural History has
acquired these discoveries, and Cur
atOr Charles Mead is arranging them
for exhibition. The find consists of
nearly two hundred black pottery YES
sells. with deep missions, fantastical.y
moulded to represent animals common
to that region and some mythology

pieces. This unique collection of black

many of which contained fine golden

HAMMOND'S MARRIAGE MILL"

Some Of lifes richest and greatest
drama-not necessarily tragic-is en-
acted daily within the walls of the
Lake county superior court building
here in Hammond. The actors come
from all parts of the world and from
every walk in life and in age range
from infants, so to speak, to the tot
tering old man who is preparing him
self to die.
The strangeness of it all is the fact
that the stage, though hidden in a
chain of cities and in the shadow of
metropolis, is nevertheless, sought
out by people from the farthest cor
ners of the earth. They want to
get on the stage and still they don't
want to be seen.
1t is for the reason of marriage or,
| "the fatal plunge" the dive into
as the funny man pIeases to call it.
oblivion" the goodby stunt, get
ting into the harness, or committing
matrimony." that Hammond is
sought out by these classes of people.
The funny man though he often
uses his term to suit his fancy rare
ly hits wide of the mark when he at
taches a phrase to particular coup
lie that may have been next"
The fact that he is correct Impress
es itself all the more on one when an
opportunity presents itself to watch
the procession as it marches in and
out of the court house. The couples
are lost in the throng as they walk
or drive through the business center,
although the close observer can cas-
lily pick them in a crowd, especially
the younger ones, as they are making
their way to the clerks Office and
from there to the judge.
They follow the crowd down Hob
man street. and as the building is
approached, their steps are quicken
ed or slacken as the case may be, and
it is interesting to see a seemingly
brave man faIter before he enters
the wide door where he promised
himself that he would find his wish
fulfilled. He will do anything to
gain time. He will ask a boy to run
an errand for him, while he and his
bride to be, wait at the entrance
Or in the other case he will rush into
the police station or the jail in his
hurry to get there
The climax comes before the rail
ing in the clerks office. The couple
is prepared for the ordeal, that is, 1t
thinks it is. The clerk asks the first
question and then appears the first
blush on the bride to be- The first
question is usually: You are not in
any way related to each other2t The
girl or the widow or the divorce
lstammers a No while the groom tc
be, summons enough courage to say
Not Yet" Another question that
/ causes the lady to crimp her toes
, downward, is the one about age. You
must remember that your answers
are made under a solemn OATH they
are told. and not for the first time
has the man found out that his idea
was in reality older than he judged
Z her to be.
