The extraordinary popularity Of fin

The extraordinary popularity OF fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter Of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as a stiff

Starch necessary. with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Feb. .-WHEAT-Rather
dull up TO the last half an hour of the
session when a sensational advance
was brought about by the buying of
a large line of wheat by one of the
more prominent elevator concerns It
was estimated that this house bought
in the neighborhaad of three million
bushels. It had the effect of starting
stampede among the shorts and re-
suited in closing the May price at the
highest figure in several months. The
continued bad crop reports from Rus
STA and much better cash demand for
both home consumption and export
were the bull factors and served to
the trade today. The market closed
strong with indications for a broad
bull market in the near future
CORN-Sluggishly strong. this mar
ket did not advance as easily as yes

the advance in wheat to any material
extent. There was a disposition on
the part Of bull spectators to take
profits and wait for a reaction. Corn

FARMERS GIVEN FREE
CHANCE TO EXPERIMENT.
Cooperative Tests OF Spring Sown
Crops For Indiana AgrieuIturaIists
To BE Made By Purdue University in
Conjunction With Practical Lands
men.

The Purdue University Agricultural
Experiment station is preparing to
furnish q limited number of interested
farmers in Indiana with a few leading
varieties OF corn, oats, cow peas or
soy beans to test on their own farms
Four or five varieties which seem to
be suitable for the locality where they
are to be tested will be furnished. free
of cost in sufficient quantities to plant
a quarter acre of each variety of corn,
and tenth acre of each variety of the
other crops, on condition that an honest
effort be made to conduct the test ac-
cording to instructions and report re-
suits at the end of the season.
Last year about 500 such cooperative
tests were conducted by farmers in all
parts of the state. \ summary of the
results viii be published in a few days.
Copies of this report may be had upon
application. The report received from
experimenters shows clearly that these
local tests may be of great benefit
as, through them, many farmers are
made acquainted with varieties that
are better suited to their conditions
than the ones they are using.
Anyone interested in this offer may
secure full particulars concerning the
Stations requirements by writing to A.

Between Trains
Had Killed One, Maybe.

In years gone by, when churches
were not so plentiful and partshioners
were still scarcer. an Episcopal preach
err started out on horseback to look up
the members of his church. After
riding for several hours without much
success he saw a farm hand blowing.
Thinking the young man might be able
to help him, he stopped his horse, called
him and said:
Young man, can you tell me If there
are any Episcopalians in this neighbor-
hoodT
NO. sir; I have never heard tell Of
anv around here" was the reply.
The preacher after, q few words
more. rode on. After he had gone per-
haps a hundred yards or 50 he heard
some one call.
Hey, mister. come back
Thinking the man had remembered
some one, he turned back.
We'll. did you think of any?'

The word balloon means "a largo
ball" To Montpelier of Annonay,
France, the invention of the balloon is
credited. 1t is said that he was led TO
turn his attention TO balloon making
from the following incident: A French
laundress, wishing to dry a petticoat
quickly, placed it on a basket work
frame over stove. TO prevent the
heat from escaping by the opening at
the top OF the petticoat she drew the
belt strings closely together and tied
them. Gradually the garment dried
and became lighter, and as the stove
continued to give out heat and rarely
the air concentrated under the basket
work frame the petticoat began to
move and finally rose in the air. This
so astonished the laundress that she
ran to her neighbors and asked them
to come and witness the strange sight.
Montpelier was among those that
came in. The petticoat suspended In
midair suggested greater things to
him, and he returned home with
something to think about" He at
once began studying works on differ
ent kinds of atmosphere, and the In
vention of the balloon was the result.

Germany and Our Tariff.

The Portland Oregonian notes that
one OF the countries with which Canada
is now trying to negotiate under her
new tariff law is Germany, and that If
she succeeds, Germany will take mill
ions of dollars worth Of commodities
from Canada that she is now taking
from us. The OFegonian continues:
IF Germany were in the wrong in
her requests, or If she had failed to
meet US even more than halfway. it
would. Of couse. be the duty OF the
United States TO fight the trade war
through to the bitter end, even though
there might be dragged in a more
serious war. But all that Germany has
ever asked of the United States is that
we extend to her exporters the same
treatment that she gives the American
exporters.

Atohison, Reading. Union Pacific.
Missouri Pacific. Copper. Sugar, st.

gains ranging from one to two points

The Atchison directors decided to Is
sue s25,000,o00 new stock, but 1t is
not to be given to the public at pres
ent time, this latter clause was con-
strued as extremely bullish on the
property. In view of the fact that so
many other railroads have issued new
securities the Atchison company prob
ably decided it would be well to defer
the issuance until the monetary sit
uation had become more propitious TO
absorb this new issue. Atchtsno COM

points, the buying was excellent in

purchases were Instrumental in bring

THE USES OF CAPITAL
PUNISHMENT.

There is little likelihood Of Governor
Hanlys interference with the execu-
ton of the negro murderer, Williams,
which is scheduled to take place be-
tween midnight and morning in the
Michigan city prison, although Mr..
Hanly in his recent message to the
Legislature declared in most emphatic
terms against the institution Of life
for life.
1t is and ever shall be a debatable
question whether the theory which has
the sanction of holy writ, of an eye
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is
justihable when carried to the SUI
preme test OF life for a life.
or course there are arguments
against capital punishment. One of
these is that it Is relic of barbarism"-
that 1t is not humane There can be no
doubt that this is true, but 1t must be
remembered that 1t is equally true that
most men who are sentenced to suffer
the exterme penalty are also relics
of barbarism At liberty. such men
are a menace, and confined, they are
a burden to the community. In view
of these facts it seems that both for
example and atonement 1t is expedi-
eradicate the self imposed stain Of
blood outlines by giving up his life.
Such solution of the problem seems
the simplest and best in the case OF
a man who wilfully and maliciously
takes the life Of another of his kind.
1t will generally be found that those
who clamor for the adjustment of
capital punishment are of hysterical
disposition, whose sentiment blurs
their wisdom,-reformers whose emo
lions have gotten the better of them
They chance to find themselves in
high places and then there is agita-
tion which sometimes bears fruit and
sometimes Is barren of results
The cry for life imprisonment, as a
substitute for the death penalty might
be all right if it could be depended

Some governor or other reprieves or
