WILD SCENES ON THE
CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
whsst passes the Dollar Mark, Orders
to Buy Pouring in From All over
the United States.

Chicago--ln the most sensatloilai
onening in the history of the Chlcago
hoard of trade. wheat on Monday shot
mast the dollar mark. Heavy realiz-
ing sales pushed the price backward
somewhat but at the close the mar
ket was strong and, according to the
majority of spectators on the BOARD
the demand upon which the late ad-
vance has been made is still unsatis-
fed The net advance for wheat was
cents for the July and September
options and Az cents for the Decem-
ber. From the low point of Monday
of last July wheat has advanced la%
cents. September has gone up l5A
cents and in the December option, the
highest point of the day was 1874
cents above the low price of the prev
ious Monday.
1t was a certainty that a strong
bulge would take place in the wheat
market at the opening. County Or
ders had been poured in, seemingly
in an endless stream, and in obedience
to them brokers stood ready to buy
millions of bushels at the market.
Shorts were in highly nervous con-
dition and were eager to cover. The
result was that as soon as the gong
sounded there was terrific roar of
voices, all anxious to buy and nobody
offering to sell.
The rush of buying orders seemed
to come from almost every city in the
United States which was situated
along a telegraph wire They came
from Winnipeg and from Louisiana,
and from points on the Pacific and
Atlantic seaboards.

ment of the state of New Hampshire
to secure better enforcement of the
laws regarding cruelty to animals and
children in appointing two women as
deputy sheriffs, armed with all the au-
thority usually vested in such Off
GERS, seems to have fully demon
strated it's success by the reports be-
ing made by Mrs. Jennie p. Powers
of Keene and Miss M. Jennie Ken
dali of Nashua, and will lead, it Is be-
lieved, to a number of such appoint
ments.
Armed with a camera and revol-
yer of heavy caliber, and thoroughly
versed in the law covering her pow.
ers and duties, Mrs. Powers has gone
fearlessly about her work, and in the
post year has made sixteen arrests,
killed forty-one horses and caused nu-
merous prosecutions. Using her cam
era to secure undisputable evidence
she notifies wrongdoers of the law and
their duty in the case.
Miss Kendall has confined most of
her activities to Nashua and its imme.
diate vicinity, where she has caused
many arrests to be made for cruelty
to children and animals.

fixed for carrying out the deed during
Easter The plotters included officers

loyalty hitherto had been undoubted.
A large number of plotters, the cor
respondent says, was necessitated by
the elaborate precautions adopted
nowadays to protect imperial person
ages. The plan was, the correspondent
says, to approach Tsarskoe-Selo In dis
tinct groups and then execute sudden
and daring attack on the palace. The
first group, consisting Of thirty-four
men, arrived on the Russian Good
Friday, when by some means un-
known suspicious against them were
aroused, all thirty-four were arrested
and documents found in their posses.
sion led to the apprehension OF the
other members of the band in st.

A Facer for Connie Mack.

Connie Mack as every one who knows
him will agree, is mighty conslderate
manager, and the best friend that any
young player ever had.
Connie Is noted for the deep interest he
takes in nov!ces and for the generous man
ner In which he ladies' out his advice to
them. This advice, though appreciated in
most cases on the recipients part, has also
been the cause of getting Connie real vexed
on more than one occasion, for when you
are advising a man whom you have just
canned you must look for some sassy say
ings on that individuals part.
A couple of years ago Mack signed a
young southern phenorn by the name of
Brouthers. who was the whole cheese down
in the Southern League. but who when
playing ball at the third corner for the
Athletics never caused Bradley or Jimmy
Collins to put o paddock on their laureis
In fact, Mr.. Brouthers, though a very
witty young man and a genteel fellow
goods, and Connie put him next to this
fact in his usual quiet. but nevertheless con-
vincing. way.
In winding up the little heart to heart
talk he had given the boy Connie said:
Base ball is like all other businesses. to
make a success at 1t you must begin at
the bottom and work your way up
"Oh. you don't have to begin at the bot
tom In all businesses, for If you did you
wouldn't make much of SUCCESS" differed
the young third sacker.
You youngsters know whole heap"
snorted Connie, but l would like for you
to designate a business where 1t would
