CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Futnre Grnin ana Proyision.

CHICAGO. March e.-Wheat opened weak
and with the exception of two or three mild
rallies due 10 covering by shorts continued
weak all day. The depression was chiefly caused
by foreign news of bearish character with
one exception all the European grain markets
showed sharp losses because Of liberal offerings
FROM Argentina. Later in the day the selling
in the local market was further increased by re-
ports that the crop in the southwest had win
tered we'll and that the outlook was favorable
Small receipts and decreasing stocks In the
northwest were the principal factors. The mar
ket closed easy May opened shade to 3s01 I5c

DEATH or TOM WORRALL
Commits Suicide mt Lincoln, Me-
braska.

Thos. Worall, a pioneer, politician,
and trust buster, committed suicide
at his real estate Office in Lincoln,
Nebraska, on the evening of Decemb-
er 2Sth.
His partner, c. M. Bransen, was
the one to discover the body, and an
empty bottle from which he had
drank carbolic acid, and his shoes
had been taken off and placed under
the desk. His overcoat had been fold
ed carefully and on this he had rest
ed his dying head.
On the desk were letters addressed
to his two sons, his wife and his
mother.
He seems to have been suffering
from some intolerable pain, and gave
this as his reason for the deed. HIS
estate is valued at about $4,000.
Many of the settlers living on. the
Carey Lands west of Blackfoot came
here through Mr.. Worrall's efforts.

MISS DIPPEL
Wins PIANO
Capital News Piano Contest is Closed,
and Miss Dipple is Ahead One
Fine Piano That Has Cost
Her Only Little Busy
Work With Coupons.

Miss Lilly Dipple, one of the book
keepers in the Standrod bank, has
Just received a $40U piano from the
Evening Capital News of Boise, as
the result of a voting contest to de-
termine the most popular young
lady in Eastern Idaho.
The contest lasted several weeks,
it being not alone a contest of good
looks, sweet temper, intellectually
and the ordinary accomplishments.
but also a measure of business abili-
ty. Miss Dipple went into the com
test to win, and she won. She did 1T
by systematic way Of doing certain
things on which success depended,
The girl whose popularity and busi-
ness ability would enable her to Or
gani2e her forces so that the great
est number of voting coupons would
be saved and voted for her, had the
best chance to win. Besides the
coupons appearing in the paper, she
could get others by taking subscrip-
tions to the paper, which she did.
Many people were ready to subscribe
for ii if somebody just came along
to solicit, and this she did SO sue
cessfully that all other candidates for
the honor and the piano, fell short
in the final count.
Some times things looked discour-
aging to Miss Dipple, but she recog-
nized the fact that 1t must also look
discouraging at times to others, and
if they gave up in such times, 1t only
increased her chances to win, and she
pushed her work to success.
This Is an honor that comes to but
few young ladies, and 1t is a train
ing that any ambitious girl might be
glad to have, as 1t brings her into
social and business circles that no
amount of schooling can do. When
we interviewed Miss Dipple about
her experience she said, Why, !
found 1t very pleasant work; moth
ing especially disagreeable, except
the fear that might fail, but even
that left me as ] went on with 1t,
for found that I made so many
pleasant acquaintances, and SO many
of my friends showed such an in
terest in the matter, and saved their
coupons SO carefully to vote for me
that | really found 1t very attractive
in some ways. Everybody was nice
to me. and If some of them did not
care for the paper, it was no offense
to me to have them say so. did not
expect everybody to be Interested,
and taking literature to peoples
homes is not q kind of work that ono
need be ashamed Of.
"Of course, am glad | made the
race, because / won the prize, But
even If | had lost, ! can see now
where the contest would have been
benefit to me-"
