THE THREE MOST TERRIBLE OF
DISEASE GERMS.

While modern medicine has been
busy for two decades in isolating and
labelling the germs that produce vari-
GUS forms of disease, it is only within
the past few months that the most
terrible of diseases known to attack
the human body have been placed in
the correct relative position due to
their virulence in attack and ability
to last against the best efforts of man.
For instance, rabies has a germ
that never fails to slay it's victim
once it has produced single symptom
in the human body. No case of rab-
les has ever been cured after the dis
ease has shown it's true nature. Of
ten the disease has apparently lain
dormant in the human body for six
months, and even in a few cases a
whole year has gone by between the
time Of the Infection from the rabid
dog and the beginning of the disease
in the human victim. NE Fl. r
The second of the deadliest of ali
diseases is glanders--a disease that
men can get from horses. 1t does
not often spare the horse, but no man
has ever been infected with CHAMBERS
who had the least possible chance of
recovery. The germ of glanders was
discovered in 1882 First come chilIs
and then fever. Next, after three
days OF agony, the head, neck and
joints blotch over in horrible fashion,
and every joint in the body swelIs
and bursts. Death comes any time at.
ter the seventh day, but no human
being ever RECEIVERS.
Anthrax is the last and most yiru.
lent of the three diseases Terrible
Anthrax shows in the form of huge
boils, which swiftly eat into the body
like magic cancers. The anthrax

strongest, the wicksdest and most yir

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions


CHICAGO. May 4.-The wheat market opened
strong on an advance of Id In Liverpool and
decrease OF 4,139, 900 bushels in the amount on
passage Later these influences were aided by a
decrease OF 5547 900 bushels In the visible sup
ply IN America and the smallness Of primary re-
ceipts. which were 525, 900 bushels against
l,oll,UW bushels on the corresponding day last
year; Heavy rains In Kansas and Nebraska
checked the advance for a time, but later this
FACTOR was ignored. A feature of trading was
the nuctuation of the May delivery, which sold
between $f.01 u al. 0415 The market closed
strong Final quotations on May were at 81. 03a4.

sold at SSAc and then advanced to ole. The
close was at 90%c.
Corn for May delivery sold today at 701ac,
which is the highest price since 1902. The adj
vance was caused by the operations of a proni-
nent trader, who, 1t is said, is endeayoring to
corner the market. The market in general was
strong all day Wet weather, small receipts
nrn cables and the strength of wheat were bull
ish influences The close was strong. May sold
between 6eesc and 701ac and closed ut 1o1sc to
I0Hc- July opened 1a@Esc higher at 81 l2c to
% &c, sold at "a Sc and closed at 641sG65c.

thy with wheat and corn. July opened &c to
&c higher at 4I55c, sold between 4Tkc and
471sc and closed at 47l5c

OF l0G15c decline in live hogs. Later the
market became firm on buying by shorts. At the
close July pork was up 15c, lard was sc higher
and ribs were q 5c up.

New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK May 4.-Hutton's wire says:
Inc the market was 70 to 80 points higher; Be
severe a decline traders nothing in the
situation but lower prices eventually as long
as the supply promises to be more than neces-
sary and no doubt those who behind the
reaction Will in due time be found on the short
side again.
There is a scramble to get cotton at any
price. Some OF the big bears are being called
for 50 bale margin on the short side. Recent
damage and that considerable repianting will
be necessary.
Spot closed quiet. 20 points higher. Middling
uplands. 1o.4oc; middlihg gulf, 1o.65c. Sales.
