 CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Futures lost IS to 1-4 for the day, closing with only fractional rally from the lowest point. The chief bear feature is the enlarged winter wheat receipts, which made primary markets today show a movement of 125,000 bushels more than last year. The visible sup ply increased nearly 100000 bushels and was a bearish factor. There was some stop loss selling on the decline. Some very good people continue to report prospect of only half to three quarters of a crop for North Dakota, while other houses think the fine weather has improved the promise, and wheat is likely to mature with yout serious injury from either frost sor rust.

What will appear very interesting
to- many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving simple prescription as for
mulated by a noted authority, who
claims that he has found positive
remedy TO cure almost any case. of
backache of kidney or bladder de-
rangement, in the following simple
prescription, IL taken before the
stage Of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, , one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapar;l-
la, three ounces. Shake well in a
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and again at bedtime.
A well known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scriptfon, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at small cost from any good pre-
scription pharmacy, or the mixture
would be put up If asked to do SO.
He further stated that while this pre-
scription Is often prescribed In rheu-
matte affiictions with splendid results.
he could see no reason why 1t should
not be a splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache,
as 1t has a peculiar action upon the
kidney structure, cleansing these
most important organs and helping
them to sift and filter from the blood
the foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness and suffering. Those
of our readers who suffer can make
no mistake in giving 1t a trial.

In 1887 the lot was sold by order of

by Mrs. NJ. A. Austin, widow of +. II.
Austin, deceased, as plaintiff, against
her SIX children. After changing

Last spring he contracted the prop

title by their attorney it was found
that some doubt existed as TO the va

the Probate Court at that time was

WHO OWNS WALHALLA?
A Colorado Woman Says that She
Owns Big Part.

(From Denver, Colo, Dispatcn.)
Charles H. Bates, chief probation
officer in this city, has just received
telegram from his wife, Fannie Aus
tin Bates, stating that the Courts Of
South Carolina have ruled in her IA
vor and that she Is about to come in
possession of twelve and half
acres Of land, valued at $4,000, and
the entire summer resort town Of
Walhalla, twenty-five miles from
Spartanburg, s. G.
Mrs. Bates, her mother, two broth
ers and sister were defrauded of
the land twenty-five years ago, soon
after the death of their father, by a
lawyer who sold 1t on representation
that there were no minor heirs.
The manner in which the rightful
heirs are to come into their own is
one Of the truth-strangerthan fiction
kind.
Three weeks ago Attorney James
A. Harris was talking with Mr.. Bates
at the court house. Mr.. Harris had
Spartanburg paper in his pocket,
and knowing that the Bateses hailed
from that part OF the State, he read
story Of an accident that had hap
pened to some prominent Spartan
burg persons. Below the article was
advertisement of the suit Of James
and Charles Mulholland against the
heirs Of the late Charles Austin to
clear title to certain property in the
town Of Austin.

story Of how the lawyer had sold
twelve and one-half acres upon which
was afterwards built the town of
Walhalla, and never turned In any of
the money.
We'll, by the laws of South Caro-
lina," said Mr.. Harris, "you can re-

laws minor heirs have ten years af-

death of the husband, when it be-
gins over, giving ten full yeaIs be-

Mr.. Bates did not lose any time in
communicating with his sister-in-law
Mrs. Charles Tiff, of Denver, and
his brothers-in-law, Robert and Will
liam Austin, of Syracuse, Kans.. and
securing the power of attorney for
his wife to fight the suit for clear
title In the South Carolina courts.
The telegram from Mrs. Bates is the
result Of the quick action"
The above article seemed to disturb
the peace Of mind Of a few of our cit

SEAMANsHIP IN THE NAVY.

More Honored in Breach Than the
Observance, as the Record Shows.
New York Sun-The navies of the
world are feeling the effect of their
indifference to the art of seaman
ship since steam superseded sails.
Warships are now costing from three
to ten million dollars each, and
jeopardizing one of these is a much
more serious matter than risking an
old-fashioned sailing craft.
The collision between the Illinois
and Missouri in 1904, between the
Winslow and ferryboat in 1904
between the Worden and the Lawer
ence, the breaking adrift of the Iowa
in Hampton Roads in 1904, the COLI
sion between the Alabama and the
Kearsarge, the grounding of Win,
slow and Of the Rhode Island and the
very recent humping of the Boston
on the rocks were examples Of bad
seamanship.
This is not peculiar Of the United
States Navy. In the British Navy
within a generation the Captain,
Vanguard, Victoria and other ships
have been lost as the result of poor
seamanship. One English paper
says in an article entitled "Warships
on the Sick List" According to
the last published returns eight per
cent of the effective warship strength
Of the British Navy was in this
plight. This proportion does not
include the battleships and cruisers
in dockyard hands undergoing re
pairs and refits that have been
necessitated by wear and tear. When
the attempts Were made TO refoat
the Montagu the battleshlp Duncan
touched pinnacle rock Of the outer
shutter reef, her double bottom was
pierced and half her compartments
were flooded. The armored cruiser
Good Hope is also on the sick list. -
1t mentions among other accidents
the grounding Of the battleshlp Do
minion and the mishap TO the Hin
dustan at Gibraltar.
Not many years ago seamanship
was regarded as the highest branch
Of a naval officers profession; today
ii IS held in scant esteem; very little
time IS devoted 70 the study Of sea.

was discovered that first-class men
actually did not know how to handle
a seXtant; they were instructed by
the officers of the ship, and went
back to the academy with knowledge
they should have acquired there,
They had spent so much of their
time learning engineering that there
was NO time left for seamanship.
To return to the British Navy, an
officer of that service once said half

to get promotion is to run your

was wrecked on the coast of the
Philippines, but no one was found to
blame. The old frigate Saranac
was wrecked on rock marked on
the chart, but no one was punished.
The Sacramento, San Jacinto. Scotia
and other vessels of the Civil War
period were run ashore, but no one
was held responsible.
The theory of navigation may be
taught ashore quite as well as at sea.
but practical navigation can be
learned only at sea. A glance at
the Navy Register will show how in

have to their credit: herein lies the

A child is like q tender leaf
We watch it wonderingly unfold;
We count the moments, all too brief
That bind its infant realm of gold
We place finger on its hand,
Upon its velvet face our lip;
But do not dare to understand
The wonder of such workmanship
We guard it with divinest care;
Its life is intricately wrought
into our lives where'er we fare,
And tempted in our constant

We watch the little human charge
Bloom like daily fragrancy.

We look upon the little leaf
AS of the little child a type,
Unshadowed by the cloud Of grief
That comes wheneer its time is
ripe.
Tomorrow will the leaf be there?
1t seems so very fresh tonight
But there is frost upon the air
And in the soul a sense of blight,
Open the window to the day!
Hast fallen so soon, O little leaf?
So short the wonder of thy way
Such whitening of life so brief!
And, 10, upon her trundle bed,
A faded flower, a palild face,
A little bending Of the head
A dumb submission to His grace.
