Wheat-Mad in New York.

New York City-New York brok-
ers went wheat mad. The increase
in prices was the greatest in the his
tory of the local pit except when a
corner has been executed. When the
public began to climb into the mar
ket the professional traders lost their
nerve and wild scenes were enacted
on the floor of the usually placid Pro-
duce Exchange
A good deal of amusement was
caused by the announcement that
James Patton, the big bull operator,
had announced that he will not shave
again until wheat is $3.50 bushel
and cotton fourteen cents a pound.
Some of the brokers bet on the length
of the beard Mr.. Patton will grow.
Theodore H. Price, who several
weeks, ago predicted the big adj
vance in cotton, when told of Mr. Pat
toms bet, said:
MY personal opinion is that Mr..
Patton will not have to wait very
long before he can take good clean
shave"
The big rise in cotton and wheat
has killed public interest in the stock
market. Stock Exchange houses are
not earning office rent and clerk hire.

MRs.NELLlE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence. and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such. women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, h e
blues, sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
IRENE irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing dow pains.nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If SO,
your nerves are in a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.
Mrs. Nellie Markham, of Isl Morgan
St., Buffalo, N. Y, writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--

less of an impression gleaned from what he had read of the case.
 Temporary insanity. due to hered ity, and the stress of wrongs alleged to have been inflicted upon his wife by Stanford White were disclosed as the dual defense of Harry Kendall Thaw in the defense's opening ad. dress.
 Mrs. William Thaw, the prisoners mother, and Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw his young wife, will be the chief wit. nesses for Thaw
 There was a strong hint, too, in the opening speech of John E. Gleason for the defense and in the cross examina- tion by MT. Delmas that self defense or the belief of Thaw that he was act. ing in self defense, would figure as g secondary plea.
 Emphasis was laid, too, upon the idea that Thaw believed that he did no wrong in staying White, but, on the contrary, that he served the will of heaven in averaging a wrong.
 Mir. Gleason said plainly that the de fense would spring a sensation. He said:
 Defendants Wife to Testify.
 "1n June, 1903, this young man asked this young woman to be his wife She refused Now, gentlemen, what the circumstances were behind that re- fusal you will learn from her own lips.
 "I will not take time to go into de tails. The reasons why she did not wish to marry him she will tell you with her own lips and her relations to Stanford White.
 "He finally did marry the girl In April, 1904"
 MT. Gleason said that Thaw labored under the delusion that his life was al- ways in danger when he was in New York city, and he believed threats had been made to kill him. This accounted for the fact that since January, 1904. he had always carried a pistol. He had placed it in his overcoat pocket the night he went to the Madison Square Roof Garden.
 In less than two hours, out of the mouths of nine witnesses, the state proved that Thaw murdered Stanford White on the night of June 25, 1906, on the Madison Square Garden roof.
 DeImae Suggests Self Defense.
 Dolphin M Delmas, the California advocate, sharply cross examined the eyewitnesses as to the possibility of their having seen Whites left hand. This was the first intimation that the defense has a plan to prove either that White had a revolver in his hand and that Thaw shot in self defense or that Thaw believed White was armed. None of the witnesses admitted seeing the left hand, and none was asked whether the architect held a revolver.
 In presenting the case of the people against Harry K. Thaw, Assistant Dis trict Attorney Francis F. Garvan spoke only ten minutes. He said the people contended that Thaw killed Stanford White with deliberation and premedi- tation.
 Thaws Mother to Testify.
 1t is said that Mrs. William Thaw, mother of Harry K. Thaw, will be the chief witness for the defense in her sons trial. The district attorney learn ed this and that her evidence will strongly sustain the contention that his nature, shown from earliest boy hood, made young Thaw irresponsible at the time of the killing of White. She will tell of his strange actions as a child, of his perverse tendencies and of his fathers belief that the boy was weak minded
