CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Feb. s.-WHEAT-The bulls
had everything their own way in the
wheat pit this morning. The May op-
ton scored q new high record, selling
at SOS. The news was extraordinarily
bullish. Foreign markets were quoted
one-half penny higher. The belief
seems TO be growing more general that
the Russian situation pertaining to
their crop is az bad as foreign houses
have estimated IL. a message from the
northwest was quoted to the effect
that if the present cash demand con-
tinued as brisk as it had been yester-
day and today their entire stocks OF
available wheat will be gone. This,
however, is regarded as more or less
Of an exaggeration by the trade here.
The market closed fairly strong al
though il did not maintain the early
high prices recorded
CORN-This cereal did not sympa-
thize with the enthusiasm prevalent in
the wheat pit. On the contrary, the
tone Of the market was inclined to
weakness. A few of the large cash
houses We're sellers of both the May
and July option. The former bull party
who have been buyers from 43 cents
up TO the present time were also in
ciined 10 realize a portion OF theiI

Stop the Nonsense.

The branding Of young girl by the
members OF the Alpha Gamma Tau So
rerity of Shortridge high school, IN
dianapolis, is another link in the evil
dence against high school fraternities.
Only recently, in a neighboring state
a girl candidate was compelled to en-
ter a house occupied by barber and
his family, and do the skirt dance
much to their surprise and amuse-
ment Her companions outside watched
the victim through a window What
takes place in these high school So
ciety meetings the public has not
learned, but is seems that the time is
ripe to call a halt. It is the duty OF
parents Of young girls to see that they
are at home. Heads of high schools
and colleges are endeavoring 20 break
up these societies, but have so far met
with little success, and it is up to the
parents to do away with these fratern-
tiles by keeping their boys and girls
away.-Anderson Bulletin.

Thirteenth District Matter.

The statement that LaPorte county
democratic by about 1000. may be add
ed to this thirteenth district and that
Starlxe, republican county may be
taken away and placed in the tenth
district is the ridiculous statement of
some newspaper reporter who depends
upon the ignorance of his readers not
to discover the foolishness of such a
report.
Indiana has proven herself to be a
safely republican state. When the next
readjustment is made IN congressional
districts it is safe to predict that the
republicans will have that work in
charge. That being the case. It is not
likely that republicans will give the
tenth, which is the strongest republic
an district in the state, a larger re-
publican plurality, and at the same
time give the democrats a gain of l,
800 votes in this closer thirteenth dis
trict.-Winamao Republican.

OTHER EVELYN NEsBITs.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's simple story
of her downfall through the conni-
'viances of Sanford White as told in
court yesterday, is one of intense hui
man interest but 1t is no different from
that of a dozen unfortunates In our
own city might tell, with the exception
that the setting is different.
Evelyn Nesbit was poor girl with a
rare beauty of form and feature that
even as a care free school girl she was
sought by artists from far and wide as
a model.
This served to advertise her charms
and soon she became the object Of the
attentions of those thriftless, worth
less young men who, coddled by veal
thy parents, are early blase and find
relief from ennui only in the widest
adventures and designations.
Evelyn Nesbit was the natural prey
of these INSCRIPTIONS men when in
addition she had a mother who was so
ambitious for her success by the glitter
of gold in prospect that she tossed
away the barriers she had placed be-
tween her child and the moral vultures
that sought her, 1t is little wonder the
child fell.
In the lower walks of life it Is ex-
actly the same combination Of influ-
ences that bring about the downfall OF
dozens OF young girls. They may be
attractive. Every girl is attractive to
some one The advances are made, dis
erection is armed by trips to the the
atre, midnight luncheons and gifts OF
varying value and almost before the
victim Is aware Of It, the fatal steI
has been taken.
One tragedy is as great as another
but the world knows little Of the poor
girls disgrace and seems to care less
The unwritten law should never be
come the written law but it does seen
that the hand of justice should res
heavily upon the man who as a pastimt
connives and schemes for the downfall
OF innocent girls.

prove the wisdom Of this session re-
mains to be seen, but unless the I'm
expected happens the future must
testify to action. Nearly all of the
important measures are getting into
shape for final consideration. Never
have pending measures received more
attention than Is being given by the
committees Of this session. All Of the
important matters have received care
full and thoughtful consideration OF
the most painstaking nature The in
suranoe, public depository, primary
election and antitrust questions are
Of such Importance that they shouldn't
be settled thoughtlessly. The meas
ures covering each of these questions
have been considered and reconstructed
to satisfy Justice and meet the peo-
pies wish. While the proceedings at
present don't show any great legisla-
ton is so far along that the closing
days of the session should be notable

WITH THE EDITORS.
Leaving the Theatre.

Have you ever tried to see the finish
OF a play7 Have you ever tried to hear
the last spoken word of a particularly
good presentation. Couldn't do either,
could you? And why? Because the
audience was in such a hurry to get
away. Rather queer. too. all that rush
as the curtain starts down. People
act as though they had to break and
run for home or wherever they are
going, when as a matter of fact they
have plenty OF time. The cars al
ways wait until everyone has left the
theatre, and carriages do the same,
so why this uneasiness.
People begin putting on their wraps
and preparing to leave before the play
is within a dozen or more sentences OF
Its conclusion, and the only result is
a creating of confusion. IT often hap
pens that there are few persons in
a theatre audience who would like te
see and hear the finish. All such are
Inconvenience by those who are anxi-
Gus to get away as soon as possible
To speak in the parlance of the street
q theatre audience seldom makes 6
''eIean get away because there are 6
few ready to break and run" This Is
the condition In South Bend The sit
uation isn't at all overdrawn and it i:
too bad that such Is the case. 1t is
reality an infringement on the righ
Of others.
For some peculiar reason people sci
dom show a like anxiety about ar
riving at the theatre. They come II
slowly and leisurely. even though i
is past the time for the performance
to begin.-South Bend Tribune.

JESSIE LINCOLN's ROMANCE

Warren Beckwith on Jan. 81 filed in
the district court at Mount Pleasant,
Ia, a suit for a divorce from his wife,
Jessie Lincoln Beckwith, who is the
daughter of Robert T. Lincoln, of Chi
cago, and therefore the grand daughter
of Abraham Lincoln. This is the clos
ing chapter in a romance which be-
gan in 1897, when Jessie Lincoln, while
visiting her grand father, Justice
Harlan, at his home in Mount Pleas
ant, first met Warren Beckwith at a
football game
Beckwith then was playing right
half back on the Iowa Wesleyan team
and was the hero Of the game. With
the two it was a case of love at first
sight, and an elopement and marriage
followed. The young people lived to-
gether for three years.

The Worlds Volcanic BeIte.

There are two great belts on the
earth in which either volcanoes are ao-
tive or mountains are growing or in
which the two phenomena are associ-
ated. These two belts follow great
circles. One of these passes through
the West Indies, the Mediterranean
sea, the Caucasus and Himalaya noun
tains, and is called by De Montessus
the Mediterranean" or "Alpine-Cau-
casus-Himalayan" belt. In this belt
So per cent. Of all recorded earth
quakes have occurred. The second
belt nearly encircles the Pacific, fol-
lowing the Andes, the mountains OF
western North America, the Aleutian
islands. Japan and the Philippines.
This De Montessus calls the 'circum-
Pacific" or "Andes-Japanese-M alayan'
belt. In this belt have occurred Al per
cent. of all recorded earthquakes. In
all the rest of the world the recorded
earthquakes equal only six per cent
of the total number-Leslie's Weekly

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Feb. S.-Early prices
from London on American shares were
quoted fractionally higher This in
duced a stronger feeling here at the
opening and prices were inclined TO
ADVANCE The standard shares showed
slight gains at the opening with New

Paolhc the undoubted leaders. There
was nothing over night to disturb the
equanimity Of the bull operators. senti-
ment' however, was not SO pronounced
~ ouilish as yesterday. on the con-
trary, the buyers were inclined to take
profits. The selling throughout the list
all during the session was better than
the buying. AS a consequence the OPP
ening prices were almost the highest of
the day. In the late afternoon when
the call loan money market hardened
rates for loans ruling as high as 5
per cent, selling wave appeared which
brought about a slight depression
throughout the list and caused the
general market to close rather weak
and irregular. The entire early gains
were wiped out.
The buying which was so prominent
In Atchison yesterday was In evidence
again this morning. The same bull
pool. composed of Berwynd and his fol-
lowers were large buyers. The pur-
| chases caused a rally of point in this
security. Atchison has undoubtedly
been the strongest individual stock on
the list. From the recent bear cam
paign when prices touched their low

eight points; more than any other OF

An Insurance Thought.

small but interesting fact has
been brought out in the quizzing by
the state into the affairs of the State
Life Insurance company at Indianap-
oils. 1t relates merely to the paying
out of about $4,000 of the poIioyhold-
ers' money for certain expenses
which it appears were incurred in pro
noting the legal reserve law at the
session of the Legislature in 1899. The
officials of the company think that per
haps this money was employed in lob
bying, though the public will and no
doubt ought readily to understand that
there may be some possibility of mis-
take on this point. The matter is in
teresting as going to show that in In
diana as in other states, and in the In
diana State Life as in other insurance
companies. there are many methods IN

While clambering up I noticed what
looked like the hulk Of a ship, about

twenty eight feet long. and in it's close
vicinity were five or six small muggers,
looking like a body guard. I was after
