CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Sept 24.-WHEAT-Had a
range of cent a bushel. the May OPP
tion opening weak at 1O6, selling down
to 1854 and UP to 106%; the December
sold at 991a early, later rallied to
100%, closing strong at the latter fig
ure. At the opening of the market
there was general disposition to sell
wheat based upon the lower cables, lack
of confirmation of the large exports re
ported yesterday and larger arrivals
of new wheat than expected. The bears,
however, overdone the selling and were
compelled to buy back their short con-
tracts on the advance. The expectation
that there would be a large line of
December wheat thrown on the market
after it dipped under $1.00 on stop
orders did not materialize. On the con-
tiary. there were liberal supporting
orders TO buy on a scale down from
Ice, this support checked any further
decline and caused considerable ner-
vousness upon the part Of shorts. The
news in a general way was OF rather
bullish tenor with the exception of tho
foreign markets which showed a weak
er tendency. Liverpool being quoted
three quarters of a penny lower; Paris
five to ten centimes lower and Berlin
slightly weaker. Receipts or wheat at
the two principal points in the north
west were larger than the previous
week. Southwestern markets report
the grain arriving more freely and of
good quality Bradstreets worlds Wis
ible shows an increase in wheat OF s.,
7Os. 600 against 4.56S.0O0 week ago.
cORN-This pit had genuine frost
scare and as a consequence shorts were
frightened IN at an advance Of over
cent a bushel. May corn sold up cent
from the opening retaining almost the
entire gain up to the closing hour. The
corn market IS simply a weather AFFAIR.

INDIANA PROSPEROUS
Boom in Property Values
Accompanied by Many
Decreases in Taxes.

Indianapolis. Ind. Sept. 24.-Al-
though farm land and other property
has increased greatly in value IN near
~ all OF the counties OF Indiana. the
land owners will not be called upon, ex-
cept in a few counties, to bear the
burden OF increased taxes.
Reports taken from over the state
show that in most Of the counties
where the assessment has been raised
the tax rate has been lowered SO no
additional burden viii be imposed upon
the property owner.
In some counties the tax rate has
been decreased TO such an extent that
the actual expense to the property own
ers viii be even less than II has been
in previous years. IN many cases this
has been due TO the good condition OF
the roads. Gravel roads have been com
pleted and the counties have no expense
10 face along this line Reports show
also that nearly all counties are in ex-
ceuent condition financially.
In Johnson County. for example, the
tax rate has been reduced for two rea-
sons. the property has increased II
valuation. and the county is we'll sup
piled with bridges. The expense Of
constructing bridges which has beer
borne for years, IS now az an end.

few days ago. The market closed firm
at the advance.
OATS-Followed the course of the
other grain pits, opening weak and
closing strong. There was fair support
discernible on the decline, particular
" for the more deferred months. The
cash demand does not respond very
readily TO the speculative advances.
cash oats in the sample market were
practically unchanged from yesterday
while exporting houses look askance
at the offers made to them
The closing prices In the speculative
market were strong at about the best
figures Of the session.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1907-09-24

IN Monroe county there has been no
decrease in the tax rate, although there
has been an increase in the appraise-
ment. This is due TO the expense OF
constructing a new Court House. which
viii cost nearly $500. 600. There are
peculiar conditions in other counties.
but in the main the counties OF the
state are in good condition financially
and everything points TO prosperity for
the citizens.

While the market did not make much
Roadway today, the tone was very en-
couraging. The dizziness on the de-
clines reflected an absence of selling
on the part of the interests who have
been prominent on the long side of
late. Trading is still confined to a few
stocks, with the outside trade rather
limited. Prices closed with a rallying
tendency on the anticipation OF a good
bank statement tomorrow.

Some of the most experienced mar
ket observers are of the opinion that
the genegal tendency of quotations
will be toward higher levels. They
appreciate the fact that monetary con-
ditions are not such as to offer en-
enlargement for a big bull specula-
ton but on the other hand they see no
good reason for expecting anything
more than moderate reactions.

Rnw potntoes ns "Fruit.v

John Hay. assistant secretary to
President Lincoln, is authority for the
statement that Mr.. Lincoln "ate his
meals mechanically" never seeming to
take much interest in eating. That the
great president was not brought up as
an epicure is indicated by an account
of visit to the home of Thomas Lin
coin, his father, by an old lady of In
diana. This woman said that when
she, with other visitors, was seated in
the Lincoln cabin a plate was passed
around containing raw potatoes, neatly
peeled Not having been accustomed
to eating this kind of "fruit," she
waited for the others to give her a cue.
They proceeded to eat the potatoes as
one eats apples, biting out mouthfuls.

when Lincoln Was stern.

Charles Wiegand was major of a
German regiment from New York and,
being of an enterprising turn of mind,
secured personal interview with
President Lincoln and importuned him
for authority to raise brigade of Ger
man troops. He was extremely op-
timistic and conceived the affair to be
then already accomplished, but, after
waiting awhile for the desired presi-
dental spontaneity, he pressed the mat
ter and was discounted by being turn
ed down in this remorseless mode by
the president: Il think this man called
on me once or oftener, but l really
know nothing as to his capacity or
merit. If a brigade was promised him
by the war department, l know nothing
of it, and not knowing whether he is
fit for any place | could not with pro-
priety recommend him for any" He
treated with equal superciliousness
one +. l.. Capen, who engrossed some
of his attention in an endeavor to es-
tabllsh a belief that the state of the
weather could be predicted. The presi-
dent was bored and cut Capen's career
short by this matter of fact indorse-
ment on his letter: april 2S, 1868. 1t
seems to me Mr.. Capen knows nothing
about the weather in advance. He
told me three days ago that it would
not rain again till the S0th of April or
1st Of May. 1t is raining now and
has been for ten hours. l cannot spare
any more of my time to Mr.. Capen."

the third time he was sent to the Unit
ed States senate. being appointed to
serve out the unexpired term of Sena-
tor Lewis V. Bogy, who died early in
1879. Shields sat in the senate two
months through that appointment.
Then he went to 0ttumwa, Ia, where
he died less than three months after
leaving the senate --+A<--
During the civil war the challenger
of Lincoln also proved his military
spirit. He went to Washington in 1862
and was appointed by his old enemy
brigadier general. Shields had the dis
tinction of defeating Stonewall Jack
son at Winchester, Va, though he had
received a wound in one leg the day
before. Some months later Jackson de-
feated Shields at Port Republic.
Though, according to Mr.. Herndon,
the man whom Lincoln might have
split open from top to bottom was I'm
ordinately vain," his record as Unit
ed States senator from three states and
as a leader of armies in two wars, with
several honorable wounds, would seem
to vindicate him and cause posterity to
rejoice that Mr.. Lincoln did not get
chance at him with that cavalry broad
sword ON the 22d of September, 1872.
