CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Active, Closing Higher-corn
and Oats In Brisk Demand.
Provisions Stronu
BY AssOciated Press,

CHICAGO, lday 4-Strength in the
wheat pit developed today soon after the
opening, which was slightly weak on re-
ports of general rains last night in Kan
sas. All offerings were readily taken by
commission houses and this created an
upward tendency which continued until
the close. The May option opened at
SS1sc declined to S9c and then advanced
to s6lsc, closing with net gain of 2hc
at S6c. July opened bQAc to 3sQD1ac lower
at Slh to d%c advanced to $3.50 and
closed at S39sc,. a gain of 19sl1hc.
The wet weather in the middle west de-
pressed the corn market at the opening,
but this weakness was quickly dispeled
by lively demand from pit traders and
commission houses. The close was
strong. July closed 12c higher at 47%c
Sentiment in the oats market was ex-
tremely bullish for the greater part of
the day. July closed 1sc higher at 397sc
Light receipts of hogs at western live
stock centers brought about active buy
ing OF provisions in the local market.

WILL DEVELOP A BIG
VEIN OF FIRE CLAY

While Investigating the geology Of
the Hogback at the rear of his home
about half mile beyond the northern
limits OF the city few days ago, 3.
A. Van Buskirk discovered big vein
of very superior fire clay. which the
Diamond Fire Brick Company will at
once proceed to develop.
The vein is twenty feet wide and has
been traced for distance OF 1000 feet
on Mr.. Van Buskirk's property, and
1t is computed the visible supply Is
sufficient to last the company for a
period of FIVE or six years.
Heretofore the Diamond Fire Brick
Company has been compelled to haul
its raw material nearly four miles and
the opening up Of new deposit OF
equal quality within less than third
that distance will be a big saving In
carriage. A tunnel something like 20
feet in length will be run into the
Hogback and the mining will begin
at its termination.
The discovery OF fire clay at this
point was entirely unexpected.

Sioux Falls, S. D,-Two daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Olson, who live on a
farm in Bon Homme county, with no
weapon other than a common wooden
pail, succeeded in killing a fierce wolf
and at the same time prevented the
animal from killing their two dogs
The wolf was one of the largest ever
seen in that part of the state The
girls were out gathering berries, which
they placed in a wooden pail, They
were followed by their two Gogs.
While passing along a road which was
skirted by timber, the dogs discovered
huge wolf lying partially concealed
in the shrubbery near the side of tho
road.
The wolf was Immediately attacked
by the dogs, but soon demonstrated
that it was more than match for
both of them. understanding the
danger of being attacked by the wolf,
one of the girls approached near
enough to deal the wolf a number OF
blows on the head with the pail
This partially stunned it and before it
could recover it was killed

YOUNG MAN SPENDS TWO WEEKS
BY SIDE OF COFFIN.
ORDERS THE BURIAL STOPPED
Body Withdrawn as Il Is about to Be
Covered-Bereaved Husband Hav-
ing Vault Built SO He
Can Visit II.

Pottstown, Pa.-Eyery night for
two weeks w. H. r. Roth, rising
young engineer, has sat at the SIDE
of a coffin, looking on the face OF his
dead wife and holding stiff, icy hand
in his own. While earth was being
thrown on the coffin in Mount Zion
cemetery Roth ordered the work TO
stop. He declared he could not bear
to see the body of his wife hidden by
clay, and that he would watch the
white, fixed face by night and every
day lay fresh flowers on the coffin
Roth's actions have caused great
uneasness to his relatives and
friends He is keeping the body in
an undertaker's shop until a vault Is
built in the cemetery. He has given
orders that the vault be airy and light
so that he can go there and continue
his vigils.
The mans wife was Miss Della
Irene Rhoades, a daughter Of Squire
RhoadeS, one of the foremost citizens
of the town She was married on her
nineteenth birthday, just two years
ago. the bridegroom being two years
the elder. The girls father furnished
a home for the couple, and as Roth
occupied a profitable position and had
a prospect of going into business for
himself life looked rosy for the
couple. A boy was born about six
months ago. Mrs. Roth was in splen-
did health all summer until late in
August, when she fell i'll, and in two
days was dead.
The funeral day was set. Roth
wanted to delay it indefinitely, but
was arbitrarily overruled by his rela-
tives 1t was with difficulty he was
induced to go TO the cemetery. Final.
ly when he consented to enter car
riage no rode all the way to Mount
Zion without speaking a word. He
sat with his elbows on his knees and
his face in his hands, and until the
cemetery was reached it was impos-
sible to rouse him.
The grave was lined with moss and
pressed the belief it was just as his
wife would have wished it. He was
contained until the first shovelful of
earth was dropped on the coffin. The
minister had just spoken the last
prayer, when Roth became frantic at
the sound of the thump of the clay
on the coffin lid.

Boston.--It is the lure OF wages so
high that five years savings make a
fortune that is drawing yenturesome
Chinese these days into the country
by novel shifts and in strange dis
guises.
Officially the smuggling OF Celestials
across the borders is dead. Experts
in immigration and some inspectors
will say when questioned that there
IS no such thing. AS a matter Of fact,
however, although the Chinese popu.
lation of tho United States Is not in
creasng, and timidity and the severity
of the enforcement OF the exclusion
act deter many who might otherwise
attempt to gain this promised land,
plans for getting the contraband race
into tho United States are bolder and
more skilfully concocted than ever.

From sentimental point OF view
It would appear that Chinese would
not care to come here for fear they

the inspectors who are stationed at

and southern borders. This does not
