sands of persons in attendance at the
State fair in Milwaukee when Charles
FAIRIES, a maniac of Decatur, ILL.,, sud-
denly dashed forward and threw himself
in front of huge steam roller, being in
stantly killed and reduced to a shapeless,
unrecognizable mass. The crowd was
watching the ffty-ton roller give an ex-
hibition of good road making when the
mailman, who was in the front row, dart
ed forward, and before the attendants
could stop him, literally dived under the
ponderous iron machine. Many women
who saw the occurrence tainted and the
exhibitions were abandoned for the day.

ties, good shippers and also good mar
ket varieties. We prefer the Loudon
as table berry, also for canning pur-
poses. 1t also ships well, making a fine
appearance in the box, having deep
red color, which does not fade in can
ming. Raspberries are good feeders, re-
quiring liberal amount of plant food

Closing prices We're firm. with but frac-

George l. Edm1nds. of Miller q CO.
The market was heavy at its opening, as
the outcome OF the apparent absence OF
support yesterday Offerings continued
light, being a matter Of short selling by
professionals. and as IS usual the selling
spent its force. without any great amount
OF damage. On the surface the continued
premium on currency poor statements
made by railroads and the payments OF
dividends IN scrip are bearish arguments.
but il requires little experience TO know
that Wall street has discounted these
facts. a tight money market may result
as the outcome Of the preparations for
the distribution Of over 500, CO., 600 In dlvi-
dends on the first Of the year. but even
this fact Is well known and being dis
cussed BY every Office boy The enormous
gold imports and the passing of dividends
from one account 20 another must surely
result in an easier money market. and we
/ lock forward with confidence TO an easy
call rate toward the end Of January
which viii again no doubt be discounted
