CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago. March 2O.-WHEAT.-A
more active market In this pit than
usual. Prices ruled lower early, later
had squirt enough to cause the short
some uneasiness and compel a few of
the more timid to buy back their wheat.
finally closing weak with a loss of
about a cent a bushel upon the days
trading. The news was more con-
fiicting than for several days. The
bad crop reports from quite a number
OF states in the southwest seemed TO
lack believers. These reports were not
accompanied with sufficient buying
orders to have any material effect up
on prices. Receipts at all of the pri-
mary markets were larger than a year
ago; Liverpool markets quoted one
half penny lower in face of our ad-
vance of yesterday.
CORN-Despite the weakness OF

wheat, this cereal showed symptoms of
acting independently. Early prices
showed an advance of about a half a
cent a bushel. The bull item was the
sale Of over 500, 600 bushels cash corn
here which almost depletes the stock
OF corn in this market Corn in the
sample market was quoted one-half TO
three quarters of a cent higher. In the
last half hour of the session the specu-
lative market eased OF and lost al
most the entire early gains. Profit
taking by the longs caused the little
dip at the close.
OATS-The buying of a large line of
short May oats by one of the leading
bears caused an advance of a cent a
bushels in this optoin, but the more dis
tant futures did not respond to the
strength in the May. After this In
fiuence had been supplied with all the
Oats they wished, prices eased of
again. The close, however, was strong
with a slight gain for the day.

HANLY'S HEAD, NOT HIS HEART.

1t is method not motive that has
pulled down upon the head of Gov. ].
Frank Hanly an avalanche of criticism.
The best and most respectable thought
in the state gives him credit for pure
motives, but resents most emphatically
his assumption of the possession of all
the virtue and all the knowledge of the
state.
superior virtue and superior informa-
ton and appreciation of the real wants
of the people is not fancied His usur-
patton of legislative powers, his frus-
tration OF the will of the representa-
tives of the people plainly expressed
his qualification of members who went
to the late sessions of the Legislature
with clean hands. cler consciences and
pure motives.
This unpopular policy has certain
ly been instrumental in curblng Mr.
Hanly's usefulness. 1t has lost the
state some valuable legislation which
there is no doubt would have prevail
ed had the governor used more tact in
gaining his ends. The insurance mea-
sure he advocated and which was lost
utterly. is notable example of this
There is not the slightest doubt but
what the Farber bill would have be
come law in it's original or very near
ly it's original state had not a number
of what might have been powerful
friends of the governor been trans
formed into formidable enemies by rea-
son of the latter's unfortunate tendency
to arbitrarily dictate and dominate OF
TO question the sincerity of their views
when opposed to those he held.
1t seems a pity that a man of sucf
strong principles and steadfastness o.
purpose combined with the brilliant in
telligence and executive judgment a:
that possessed by Hanly should have
his efforts handicapped by the spiri
of arbitrariness that has hampered his
career since he first filled the chair o
Indiana's chief executive.

NEVER TOO LATE TO ARBITRATE.

1t was only a few weeks ago that
THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES in its editorial
column discussed the question Of the
relations of capital and labor in the
Calumet region, emphasized the i'm
portance of encouraging harmony be-
tween these two great forces that must
be relied upon to build up this region
and suggested a board of arbitration
for the Calumet region as a means of
preventing the precipitation of some
great industrial struggle that easily
might be prevented.
Today a strike threatens to tie UP the
whole iron industry Of this region and
not a move has been made by the bust
ness men individually or collectively
in the affected district to make a set
Element. The Indifference Of the East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor business
men TO the dangers of the present sit
uation is hard to understand.
1t is always easier to bring the
parties to a misunderstanding to a set
Element of their difficulties at the be-
ginning of a strike than it is later on
when i'll feeling has been aroused and
prejudice is strong. While it is to be
hoped for the good of East Chicago
Indiana Harbor and the whole Calumet
region that the present strike will be
settled without difficulty. the disturb
ance ought to serve its purpose in
demonstration the necessity for a per-
manent board of arbitration to which
both capital and labor may take their
differences and have them adjudicated
This is a question that is worthy
Of the careful consideration OF the
business mems associations all over the
Calumet region.

FISH THAT SWALLOW SAND.
Ocean Denizens Which Load Their
Stomachs with Ballast.

An official of the fish commission,
at Washington, states that captains
of fishing smacks in the North sea
have found that Goldfish at certain
times of the year take sand into their
stornachs as ballast" This, It would
appear, is done when the fish are
about to migrate from the shallow
water covering the southern banks OF
the North sea to the deeper water
farther north.
It has been observed that fish
caught on the southern banks Just be-
fore the migration begins and those
caught in the northern waters after
II is completed have sand in their
stomachs and that the sand Is dis
charged after the arrival of the fish at
the southern banks on the return
migration.
In proof Of this it is stated that the
sand found in the fish often differs In
color and quality from that Of the bot
tom where they are caught.

HEARD ON BOURSE

Prices were very much depressed
from the opening and declines from 8
to per cent. took place without any
real cause except that there must have
been some very heavy liquidation OF
some weak accounts. and after they
had been shaken out, and acquired
by stronger interests. prices common
ced to improve in the late afternoon
and a good rally took place to almost
within a fraction of the close of yes
terday. some of the stocks even closed
a little higher.
From an investment standpoint it
seems that at ruling prices good
standard railroad stocks such as
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Penna,
and n. Y. c. can be bought on such re-
cessions as we have had today.
The commercial conditions through
out the country are certainly good
and the financial situation will grad
ually improve We are fairly optimis-
tic in general. and would rather buy
stocks when weak. but people who do
so should be willing to take fair pro-
fits, especially when the rallies come
quickly.
We look for further liquidation in
Union Pacific and expect the bears to
continue their attack on this stock

would buy only on sharp set backs

Chas. G. Gates & Co.-The market
had too great a shock to have more
than a temporary recovery and the
fact that the recovery was so great
led us to take the stand that the
market would not hold the large ad-
vance from the lower prices We
think the market will sell still lower.

are anticipating quite a stretch OF

ROOSEVELT AS SMALL BOY
He Was Always the Leader Among His Playmates in Every
 Sport.

When Theodore Roosevelt was a boy his father was sent to the Vienna exposition as American commissioner. He took the whole family to Europe and for a time during the stay of the Rooseyelts on the continent they lived in Dresden.
 A German woman who acted as teacher of the children at this time tells of his love for outdoor sports and feats of personal Gour- age. So great was this trait, even in his boyhood, that he learned to read the Nibelungen Lied in Ger man within few weeks, and could recite and explain the pas, Sage much better than German boys of his own age.
 A fayorite game of his at this time was to play at battles with tin soldiers. His brother, a cousin and he used to move all the furni- ture ofaroominto one corner, draw great plans of battlefields on the floor, and then fight some famous battle according to the way in which it was planned and fought by the generals who had com manded the armies of which they had read.
 "Theodore always was the lead CT and the commanding spirit" says she. He was always far ahead of the rest in making new plans to overcome unexpected problems, and he always managed to exact obedience from the oth- CTS. And everything that he did was done with a definite purpose, even in those games.'
