CORN BELT CASE HEARD.

Great Demand for Mirrors.

The production of metallic mirrors
for searchlights an and other such u
is now in demand in Eupore, accord
ing to the London Times. Those made
of glass, now used, are Objectionable
owing to their liability to fracture
when the guns are fired on ships, and
to the silvering on the mirrors blist-
ering and separating from the glass.
A new metallic mirror, partially made
by electro deposition, is being intro
duced. The mirror has a surface COM
posed of alternating bands or rings of
gold and white rejecting surfaces. 1t
is claimed. that this mirror gives a
more penetrating beam of light both
at night and in foggy weather, that OBJ
jects on which such beam of light
is thrown stand out in greater relief
than in a light thrown from silver
white metal mirror, and that the in
tensity Of the light is so great that it
is impossible to aim accurately at the
protector. Another advantage claimed
for the new mirrors is that they are
not fractured by concussion. and that
even when penetrated by bullets the
area Of distortion is very small.

San Francisco, June 3.-Lieutenant

and son of Rear Admiral Robley ID.
Evans, former commander n-cfief OF

point of revolver a gang of thugs
from beating and robbing two enlisted
men from his ship. Lieutenant Evans,
who only recently returned from ac-
complaining his father to Washington,
was going thru the famous "Barbary
Coast" district when he saw two OF the
men from his ship enter a saloon run
in conjunction with a dance hal.
Out of curiosity he entered and saw
a successful attempt to take a $2O golo
piece from one of his men. He prompt
ly interviewed and prevented the theft,
blu the crowd of loafers round about
evinced immediate resentment at his
action. A fight was imminent when
Lieutenant Evans drew a revolver ana
standing off the roughs threatened to
shoot the first man who laid hands on
either blue Jacket. An alarm mean
while had been given and the police,
charging in, cleared the place out
The enlisted men, William Edmund-
son and John Wallick, were extremely
grateful to Lieutenant Evans, whose
prompt action they declared saved
them FROM an lsgly predicament.

Later they ignored communication
from Mr. King, transmitting a con-

that she took the money in question

Prices 10 to Is Higher, and
Trading Widest OF the
Year
HOGS STEADY BUT SLOW
Sellers Had Hard Work to Prevent
Declines, Shippers Orders Being
Scarce, Packers Indifferent and But
Little Energy Displayed by specu-
lators-sheep Trade Practically at
StandstiIl.

Chicago, June 4.-Cattle were strong
and excited and prices were 1OGloc
higher than yesterdays best. Buyers
scrambled after nearly everything Of
fered, and trading was the widest Of
the year. All branches of trade partic-
ipated.
Coolers no longer hold liberal beef
stocks The killers have worked OFT
their surplus and now face big short
age. The shortage has been more imml-
nent in the past ten days than in recent
years and hence the sharp up-turn In
prices. Texas is marketing a small
volume just now and the let-up from
recent liberal runs from the southwest
has been big factor in boosting the
market for corn belt cattle.
Hogs.
Hogs were steady, and slow. Ship
pers orders were scarce. packers in
different, and SPECTATORS displayed
but little energy. Sellers had a hard
task to prevent a decline in prices.
A provision specialist says: Com
bined stocks of cut meats at the five
largest packing points, including Chi
cago, shows for the month of May.
1908, a decrease of 100000 lbs, against
an increase for month of May, 1907, OF
A., OOO, 900. Stocks outside of the spec
ulative product are fairly below those
of last year. For instance, extra short
clears, 100000 lbs and other cuts g.
900, 900. less than 1907. Notable ex-
cess in speculative product, which is
used as the bear argument; pork, g.
900 brls; lard, $4,000 ties; ribs. 25.0O0,-
900 lbs; prices, as compared with a
year ago for speculative product, show
pork, $3.50 per brl; lard, nc, and ribs
s$t25 cheaper Looks like hog stun
was cheapest feed in sight"
Worlds stock Of lard June l, as
compiled by Hately Brothers, shows
a total of 325,0S5 tierces, as against
292,9S2 ties. June 1, 1907, or of 32.133
tcs more The increase in the worlds
stock of lard during May this year
was 47,2O4 tcs. as against an increase
of 56,1s6 ties. a year ago.
Sheep.
Sheep were weak and trade was
practically at a standstill, owing to the
utter lack of demand.
Buyers started out with an avowed
determination to bag bargains, and de-
mand did not appear notably strong
from any source The half-week run
here is close to $4,000, or $4,000 more
than came a year ago, and liquidation
is the principal depressing influence.
Outside orders on killing account have
been scant. Country buyers are fairly
numerous, however. and there is a dis
tinct clamor for shorn lambs to take
out for finishing purposes. Somebody
evidently believes the market is scrap
ing on bottom and is willing to take
a chance.

had been a school teacher in the '40s,
selected a goose quill, deftly fashioned
it into a pen and wrote his letter on

Then he sprinkled black sand over
the written page.
Then he folded the sheet in the form
of a rectangle.
After which he sealed it with red
wafer and directed it.
