the price paid is not known report
has it that Mr.. Newbury held the
property at $4,000 d front foot, and
it is probable that he obtained this
price The business of the Monon
at Chicago has increased to such an
extent that additional room is needed

Barley Shoots Well.

Lee r Barkley is quite we'll known
here as one of the leading experts
with the shotgun in the country, be-
ing particularly we'll known in the
middle west where most Of his shoot
ing has heen done, He commenced
shooting at the trap when he was Ii
years old and within a year had made
a run Of LAT straight, not to men
ton several runs Of 100 straight.
Upon entering college he gave up
trap shooting and did very little of it
until a year ago. when he joined the
Watson Park Gun Club of Chieaso.
Among his best records are 391 out
of 400 at the Rensselaer, Ind, tour
nament: 195 out of 200 targets at
Omaha, Nebr., and 416 out of 430
at Charlottesville Ind. Although it
is only recently that Mr.. Barley has
been devoting much time to trap
shooting. his skill makes him a
shooter to be reckoned with, no mat

FINANCIAL LETTER.
tBy Henry Clews, Banker).


GSpecial to Lake County Times.l
New York. Aug. 20.-Let US take
brief glance at our agricultural
situation. the chief basis of present
hopefulness. We are practically sure
of large wheat, corn and cotton crops.
The TWO former are promised bump
er Yields. and the cotton crop may
pass the record if the remainder of
the season proves favorable. Last
wear the value OF these three crops
on the farm were wheat, $51S,ooo,-
GOO. corn $I,l16.oo0.0 00. cotton
1915, 100000, a total of 9,0o0,-
GOO, or nearly one-third of all the
the products of agriculture in the
country, which amounted to IS. 49,
000 .0o0 bushels. or S0.000,000 more
than last year; the yield of corn
2,713.000.00 bushels, or 100000
in excess of last years bumper crop;
while the cotton crop is estimated
at not less than 100000 bales, or
10000 bales more than last year;
the oats crop will also show a ma
terial increase. Some estimates
have. in consequence. been made that
this years crops Will reach an ag-
gregate value of $1,000, 900.
Such figures are probably excessive;
for. while the yield of 1906 is very
large, prices to the farmer will aV-
erage less than a year ago, and the
hay and fruit crops have not been
satisfactory. Nevertheless, the ac-
erection Of wealth by our farmers this
year will undoubtedly be unpreeed-
ented, and considerably greater than
in 1905. There must also have been
large addition to our production
of mineral wealth which last year
was valued at 81, 2S9, 100000 If to
this we add the increased products
of our mills and factories, which
have been extraordinarily active, a
! fair idea of the growth of our wealth
during the year can be had. The
total wealth of our farms, mines and
manufactures produced in 1905 was
estimated as follows:
Agricultural products $6,415, 900. 00(
Mineral products -. 1888, 100000
Manufactures 49,. 6,OOO,000,00C
$23, 900, 00(
A five per cent addition to thi
amount, which is certainly the year
minimum, would equal over $1.1S5,
600, 000-a pretty good amout o
growth even for a nation of surprise
like the United States. This increas
of wealth means good employment
and good wages for labor, good trad
for the merchant, busy times for tn
mills and continued pressure of traf
fic on the railroads. One prominen
traffic manager has said after careful
calculations that the present harves
alone means an increase of Is pc
cent in tonnage over last year, corn
and cotton promising to be the chic
articles of increase for the railroads

CHICAGO LETTER

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Wheat was
strong and higher after an early de-
cline. AS usual when the market
dipped under 10 cents for September
there was generous bids for both Sep
TENDER and December and this buy
ing was instrumental in bringing
about a rally of a cent a bushel for
all the active futures. The news as
a whole was in favor of the bull OPP
orators. Houses with northwestern
connections were liberal buyers, bas-
ing their operations on the theory
that the spring wheat will not be as
large as the government and other
statisticans have estimated it. The
market closed strong with a firm IN
dertone- The action of the wheat
market emphasizes the statement re
Gently made that there is consider
able investment buying of this GER
cal around current prices.
CORN-This market was weak
and lower. Abundant rains through
out the corn belt was the bear fac
tor. A few rumors were circulated
around the pit, reporting damage to
the corn crop in Kansas by the ev-
IRENE heat, but they were given lit
tie credence and as a market factor
fell fat. The cash demand is report
ed to be better than last week. In the
last hour there was a substantial
rally, the market gaining almost the
entire early losses
0ATS--Early trading was on a
more liberal scale and at concessions
in price However. when the bal
ance of the market became strong
this cereal sympathized and regained
the early declines.
PROVISIONS Weak and lower.
Professionals and packers were the
principal traders and their sales de-
pressed values slightly.

cures, so-called, are making cocaine
and opium fends of hundreds of In
diana people, both men and women"
DIR. ]. y Hurry, secretary of the
state board of health had had before
his eyes an example of that which
he was talking about, and he did not
compromise his words.
The sale of these alleged catarrh
cures is one of the worst possible
features of the drug condition in
the state today. continued Dr. Hur-
ty. These so-called cures are not
in cures in any sense of the word,
and are not bought for such; they
are simple compounds, containing CO.
caine which are made for the pur-
pose of selling this drug, and selling
it to cocaine iends."
The secretary then told of a cir
cumstance that he had just been ad-
yised of:
"A young merchant in this city
just came to me & couple of days
ago, showing me a bottle of catarrh
cure and asking me what it contain
ed. l had it analysed, and found
it was largely cocaine. The young
man, broken-hearted, told me his
story
He had been married three years
and had a little girl. He had had
success in his business venture, had
accumulated a little money and
bought home. His wife was in ex-
cellent health and the family pros
poets were very bright.
Then came the catarrh cure,
continued Dr.. Hurry. This ruined
the whole family The wife was in.
duced to buy some of this catarrh
cure by woman friend, who TOLD
her of the pleasures of using this so,

and do things even worse to get the
drug" said the broken hearted hus,
band. My home is a wreck
Now that case is only typical O.
hundreds all over the state now
most of which we know nothine

the present law the sale of catarrf
cures cannot be stopped because i

Inquiry among druggists of the

it once fastens itself upon victim.
Concluding, DR.. Hurry said that ht
advocated the restriction of the sal,
