Prominent local longs threw over their

bit Of commission house selling;

considered a very bullish document.

with last year. The closing was strong,
sentiment vas quite bullish and we

CORN-Commission houses were
early sellers on able long corn COM
ing out, but absorbed on resting buy
ing orders. also OF shorts covering
the Patten houses We're heavy buyers
of May, other commission houses took
on September and December, but the
government report was a bearish docu-
ment and the closing was heavy. 1t
looks very much to us as If the de-
ferred futures were a good sale on all
bulges. Sample lots were unchanged
to lie higher.
OATS-There was a tremendous
rush to sell early on fine weather and
improved crop reports, prices, how
ever. working up somewhat in
sympathy with corn. The government
report was bullish but the closing was
not at all stout, and we cannot see
our way clear in advising purchases.
SPECIAL-This government report
may mean dollar wheat in September.
Any damage to spring wheat may
mean even more than dollar wheat.

HOUSE OF LITTLE NELL.
Where Dickens Conceived His Famous
Story-Place to Let.

The announcement that the house in
Bath where in 1910 Charles Dickens
first conceived the idea of his immortal
Little Nell in The Old Curiosity Shop,
is to be "let or sold" is a fact of CON
siderable interest to all Dickens lovers.
At the time that the novelist was first
attracted to his theme by the sight of
poor little girl at Bath. he and his wife
his land Landor'sJ biographer, John For
ster, and the painter Maclise were on
visit to Walter Savage Lander in that
fair city, and the incident IS thus re
ferred to in Forster's Life of LandOr:"
1T was at a celebration of his birthday
in the first Of his Bath lodgings, 80 St.
James square, that the fancy which took
the form Of Little Nell i'll The Old
Curiosity Shop first daWned on the
genius Of its creator. No character IN
prose fiction was a greater faVOrlte with
Lander. lie thought that upon her juliet
might for a moment have turned her
eyes from Romeo, and that DesdemOna
might have taken her hairbreadth es-
capes to heart, 50 interesting and pa
thetc did she seem to him; and when
some years later the circumstance | have
named was recalled to him. he broke into
one Of those whimsical bursts Of cOmical
cXtravagaLce out Of which arose the
fancy Of Boyth0rn. With tremendous en-
phaSis he confirmed the fact, and added
that he had never in his life regretted
anything so much as his having failed to
carry out an intention he had formed con-
corning it; for he meant to have pur-
chased that house, 80 St. James square,
and then and there to have burned it to
the ground. to the end that no meaner as
ISOLATION should ever desecrate the birth
day Of Nell Then he would pause a lit
tie, become conscious of our sense of his
absurdity and break into a laundering
peal Of laughter"
Thus in his somewhat ponderous
fashion, does John Forster tell the story.
1t is certainly a great pity that the nov
elist did not carry out his expressed wish
to purchase the house in Bath; but at
that time he did not think he could af-
ford it, 1t seems Dickens had gone to
America, meanwhile, and was sojOurning
there when Forsters Life of Landor'
reached him. In allusion to the fact that
he Dickens had himself intended to
tell the story in cold print" he wrote
to John Forster from America: 81 see
you have told, with what our friends
would have called wonderful accuracy,
the little st. James square story which a
certain faithless wretch &C.. d. was to
have related."-Pall Mall Gazette

Batavia, Wis, Young Woman Leaps
from Buggy and Meets Death
InStantaneously.

BINGHAM, Wis, May 3O-[Spe-
ciall.-In desperate attempt to save
herself from a runaway, Miss Miller,
aged II, of Batavia, Wis, leaped from
a buggy, which was being pulled at q
breakneck speed by frightened pair of
horses. and fractured her skull and
broke her neck. Death was instanta-
neous. The unfortunate girl was accom-
panied by her sitter, who also jumped
and seriously injured herself, her face
being badly scratched, and her shoulder
bruised.
The two sisters were driving t. their
home from OdeIl, Wis, where they had
been shopping. They were going down
a long grade when the tongue slipped
out Of the neckyoke and frightened the
horses.
The horses after a wild race with the
empty buggy, ran into a barb Wire
fence and cut themselves severely.

BREAK TEETH IN CRASH.
Two Little Girls Collide While Running,
and Seriously Spoil Each
Others Looks.

FOND DU LAC. Wis, June IL Spe-
ciaI. Edna, the 7-year-old daughter of
]. l. Campbell, local agent for the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, is
in serious condition as the result of be
ing the victim of curious accident. In
company with several other girls, Edna
was playing, when she suddenly collided
with Celestial Baker. The force with
which the two little girls collided was SC
great that the Baker girls teeth entered
the forehead of Edna Campbell and were
broken off.
A dentist was called to attend to the
little Baker girl, while a physician had
to pry the teeth out of Edna's head.

MANITOWOC CONCERN CLOSES.
Northern Grain Company Goes Into
quidation-Elevator Closed.

MANITOWOC, Wis, May 29.-[Spe-
cial ]-General Manager G. w. EspIin
of the Northern Grain company yester-
day announced that company would close
its business and retire. Unauthorized
speculation and mismanagement were
given as the cause, and Mr.. Esplin said
all property was now on the market for
sale.
Report has it that the company lost
upwards of 100000 through operations
of an employee six months ago. The
company operated two large elevators
here of a capacity of 100000 bushels.
1t also operated a cold storage plant, a
sheep ranch, and wool shipping bust
ness.
The company owned elevators in Hi
nois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The company has been in opera ton
twelve years, and had main offices here.
The closing of the elevators will probably
be only temporary, as the property is too
valuable to long remain idle. 1t is said
the company will not be reorganized.

Bellewort.

The botanical name of the Bellewort
is platycodon grandiforaum. 1t is a
handsmoe Siberian plant wonderfully
hardy in light, dry soils but impatient
Of damp and undrained situations where
its thick, tieshy roots are sure to de-
cay.
The flowers are . or 8 inches across,
deep blue and borne at the end of each
branch. The branches are about IS inches
high. Perhaps the best position for the
plant would be overhanging a ledge in
some sunny corner of the garden as it
is easily bent down by the winds owing
to its slender stem. There is a white
variety, which is not so good as the
blue. The plant is grown from seed,
which are readily procured.

WASHINGTON PIE.
A Difference of Opinion as to What
Really Constitutes 1t.

Almost every one has heard of Wash
ington pie, but there seems to be no
agreement of opinion as to what member
of the pie family right. bears the name
of the Father of His Country.
"Washington pie?" says the man from
Way Down East, which is beyond Bos-
ton, repeating your question. "Why,
sure, | know it. There are three layers
of spongy cake, with two layers of jelly
or strawberry preserves i'll between and
white frosting on the top. It's bully,
TOO and | wish | could get it here"
But that's not Washington pie" in
terrupts the woman from the west
that's simply layer cake. Washington
pie, though, is something like cake. But
there are only two layers of cake, and in
between is a creamy filing made of
eggs and milk and sugar and q little
fayoring. And you put powdered sugar
on the top"
That's Boston cream pie" chorus two
persons from Boston itself, who speak
with the assurance that betrays their
habitat. And what's more, we never
heard of Washington pie. Do you think
it fitting to name pie after en- import
ant historical figureE
I've been making Washington pie for

it, land my Washington pie is a pie and

DRINK TAKES BIG TOLL.
Aati-Saloon League Man Says Liquoi
Habit Costs twenty-five Lives
Every Day.

NEENAH, Wis. May 29.-"'The drink
habit is killing twenty-five persons daily
in this country" is the statement made
by the Rev L. G. Humphrey of Milwau-
kee, superintendent of the Wisconsin
Anti-Saloon league, before the state Sun
day School convention last night. He con-
tinued
There are 100000 children in the
homes for feeble minded in this country,
one-half of whose parents were drunk
ards. People in the insane asylums of the
country are equal to the population of
Iowa, and are there through drink. 1t
costs the country S10OO,OOO,OOO annual
ly to care for criminals.
THE greatest evil we have to combat
is the increase in drinking among young
girls and women. The solution of this
problem lies through the polls [ prOphesy
that in Wisconsin next year the number
of saloons will be one-half less than
now"
The convention, which was a very sue
cessful one, came to close last night.
