Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 21.-Wheat-
Liverpool closed u to Id lower. Re-
ceipts here today 20 cars. year ago SO.
The weather map shows considerable
rain and this taken with the rainfall
of the past week, the supply OF mois
ture seems to have been general and
beneficial to the fall seeded wheat
crop. Duluth wired: expect two
hundred cars tomorrow and reports
from the country indicate the move
ment is on the decline" Local bulls
and spectators have liquidated a gcoo
deal of long wheat the past few days.
The heavy sellers flate last week
and early this week have been the
best buyers on the break. This is par
ticularly true of the Armour, Peavey,
an0 Patten interest. Lake, Armour
and Peavey were all good buyers to-
day, while Bartlett-Patten were heavy
sellers of May. Larger cash premiums
have increased country offerings but It
is doubtful whether the farmers will
sell on the basis of the December
price. The immediate future remains
bullish.
Corn-Liverpool closed 1s to I'd
higher. Receipts here today 154 cars,
year ago, So. Weather conditions
somewhat unsettled and may temper
arily interfere with crop movement.
Large quantities of corn have been
sold to come to Chicago and with
normally favorable conditions this will
be bearish influence. The trade
should watch the car supply carefully
as shortage is expected to develop
The general situation is very bearish
with a large crop, poor demand and
fairly liberal supplies of old corn yet
to be marketed. We believe corn
should be sold around present levels
and on all bulges.
Oats-Receipts today TIA cars, year
ago, 1874. No special features have de-
veloped in this market recently. De-
cember longs have sold in a moderate
way to check premature advance in
this delivery. Farmers and country
dealers are holding their oats and are
likely to do SO for several months to
come, unless their hopes are realized
sooner with higher level.

Representation Of the Antl-Aorse
Thief Association Found Team
of Wayland Man There
Today.
LEVAN rs NOT YET FOUND
The Team Was in Muddy Condition
and the Whole Outfit Gave Evil
dence Of Having Been
Driven Hard.

The team and buggy belonging to
]. H. Fackler were found early this
morning at four o'clock in the livery
stable of John Brazel at Burlington,
where Levan, the man who took the
team on Tuesday, put the outfit yes
terday noon at twelve o'clock, and has
not been heard from since. 1t is sup
posed that Levan has taken to I'M
known parts where it will be hard to
find him
Credit for the finding of the team
and the return of the outfit to it's
owner, the Wayland liverymen, Is
due to the Valley lodge, 227 of the
Anti-Horse Thief Association, the
pursuing committee, E. e. Hawkes.
and Fred Mayhem going to Burlington
at 2:40 this morning and with the aid
of the Burlington police officers, the
rig was located in the livery barn
there of John Brazel. W. O. Ransom,
desk sergeant of the Burlington po-
lice station, and l.. E. Anderson, a
plain clothes officer, took the two
Anti-Horse Thief men to the different
livery stables until the team was
found.
Covered With Mud.
The team and rig was covered and
was unsightly with mud, showing that
Levan had done some fast driving.
After leaving Niota, he crossed the
bridge at East Fort Madison to Fort
Madison yesterday morning, first go
ing over and getting bottle of whisky
and then going back and getting the
team. To have reached Burlington
by noon yesterday shows that he did
some fast driving and the looks of the
team and buggy give evidence of it.
When Levan asked for lodging at
the Dunn house in Burlington, he was
put out, he being in such bespatter-
ed and filthy condition. The team and
rig will be brought down tonight on
the steamer Wenona and the search
has been brought to an end, with the
exception of finding Levan.

A Tainted Breath
Highly Disagreeable
A Quick and Permanent Relief for
This Trouble at Small Expense.

There are many thousands of peo-
pie who are the unfortunate pos
SCISSORS of offensive and obnoxious
breath, which has its origin in chronic
nasal and throat catarrh. or an un-
healthy condition of the stomach, or
decay of the teeth, and when these
persons realize they are the victims of
such an undesirable possession. they
frequently feel constrained to remain
off to themselves the greater part of
the time, because they understand
only too well how disagreeable it must
be to others with whom they come in
contact.
For it is an undeniab1e fact that
people will comment on, and criticse
the person whose breath is foul and
offensive Very frequently we hear
the comment, "So-and-So is most
agreeable companion: an interesting
talker, with a large fund of informa-
ton; is well-posted on world-histcry
and the biographies of many cele-
topics; is an accomplished musician.
and literateur; and would be a most
desirable addition to any social
gathering, except for the deplorable
fact that his or her breath is So ex-
tremely offensive. that persons of re-
finement, good breeding and delicate
sensibilities do not care to come into
contact with Them
And very naturally, too, for an OBJ
noxious breath taints the very aJmos-
phere, and affects the persons sur
rounding the affected one in way
which is positively nauseating.
There is no longer any excuse for a
person, however foul and offensive
their breath may be, of infiicting it's
Consciousness upon the delicate nos
trfls and olfactory nerves of others.
Charcoal, the great absorbent, is the
ideal remedy for conditions described
herein, and in STUARTS CHAR
COAL LOZENGES we have the very
best form in which charcoal may be
taken. These little lozenges absorb
one hundred times their own volume
in foul gases and tainted breaths, and
besides deodorfzing and purifying the
breath and rendering it sweet and
agreeable, they also act as antiseptics
and cleansers of the stomach and in
festival system, absorbing all offensive
gases which may be present there. de-
stroying disease germs, poisons and
microbes, and putting a stop to such
morbid processes as fermentation and
decomposition in cases of chronic dys-
pepsia and intestinal indigestion.
Don't allow yourself to be kept out
of company of your friends because
you may be so unfortunate as to have
offensive breath from any cause Use
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, and you
may rest assured that your trouble win
be removed thoroughly and rapidly

''The taxes paid to city of Topeka,

ut is certainly great benefit to a
railway company to have in it's en-
ploy men who are Industrious upright
and honest, building homes for their
families, paying their bills promptly
each month and helping to make this
city thriving one. Our records show
that the employees in Topeka are pros

Senator Hamilton's Talk.
Senator Clad Hamilton representing
the Commercial club which in turn.
according to the statement of the
speaker, is in every respect repre-
sentative of the people of the city of
Topeka, made the concluding remarks,
speaking on "Our Appreciation He
said in part:
1.-The Commercial club is peculiar
ly representative of the views, ideas
and tendencies of the city of Topeka
1t draws members from all classes of
men and holds all kinds of ideas. I
found one man today who said he was
for the gas company, but 1 am salts
ned that he was an exception rather
than a type. When the club does a
thing it is proper to say that the snnti-
ment of the city is expressed. We are
attached to this old railroad, because
Lizzie hammers a typewriter in the
Santa Fe office, Clarence is a clerk
and Bill is working in the shops.
IF we go to Kansas City we take
the 1880 plug-we forget other lines
and the fact that we can go over the
thing it is proper to say that the senti-
spend a week or so. (Laughter.) 1t
is our pet railway. 1t was little when
we got it but it gets big"
Mr.. Hamilton then presented to the
guest of honor a loving cup. 81 pre-
sent on behalf of the Commercial club

board of health this common drink

Mr.. Hamilton's act of presentation
was followed by loud and long con-
tinued applause.
President Ripley arose in ac-
acknowledgement, said with feeling that
he greatly appreciated the expressions
of good will and the grit. adding: ST

Samuel E. Lux, who represented the
Jobbers and Manufacturers associa-
ton. spoke as follows on "The Santa
Fe AMI Our Jobbers":
In the first place the Santa. Fe has
given us four outlets. namely, one to
Atchison, one to Leavenworth, main
Ene to the east. where we get most
of our products either IN the raw or
man ufactured state. and one outlet to
the great west and southwest, connect
ing with the numerous branches which
form a network covering the entire
country.
..The fact that Topeka has such adj
Tnirable railroad facilities has enabled
it to obtain the place it now has as a
jobbing and manufacturing center.

WEEK passed-an interesting
Ia week in which few things hap
pened openly, but in which
@ the entire situation underwent
subtle but complete change. The
mail steamer brought disconcerting
news from London. Chase was Obliged
to tell the islanders that notice of
contest had been filed. The lineal
heirs had pooled their issues and were
now fighting side by side. The mat
ter would be in chancery for months,
even years. He could almost feel the
gust of rage and disappointment that
swept over the island, although not
word came from the lips of the sui
len population. The very silence was
foreboding.
He did not visit the chateau during
that perpleNing week. 1t was hard.
but he resolutely kept to the path Of
duty, disdaining the pleasures that
beckoncd to hinr. Every day he saw
and talked with Britt and Saunders.
They, as well as the brisk Miss Pei
ham, gave him the family news"
from the chateau. 1t did not require
extraordinary keenness on Chase's
part to gather that her ladyship and
Browne had suddenly decided to Ell

The discovery at Hampton Court

made in this royal palace. One con-
Germs Mistress Sibell PEN. who was
Edward Wis s:urse and died in the
palace in 1862 She was buried in
Hampton church. and monument
was erected. which was irreverently
destroyed when the old church was
pulled down in 1920. Soon after this.
strange noises. as of a woman work
ing spinning wheel. were heard in
the southwest wing of the palace.
Search was made; an ancient chamber
was discovered. In which was an an
tique spinning wheel. md the old oak
planks We're worn away where the

Mrs. PENIS ghost is said to have dis
turbed many occupants of the palace;
but. according to Mr.. Laws history of
the palace. she has not been seen
since 1886. when her tall. gaunt figure
nearly frightened young soldier to
death.
Another discovery arose through the
experiences Of lady of title who
lived on the west side of the fountain
court in 1870. She was conscious of
the presence in her rooms of two in
visible beings. and, disturbed by mys.
terious sounds. she complained to the
lord chamberlain. but he declined to
interfere on the ground that there

two perfect skeletons of full grown
men opposite the lady's door. They
were given Christian burial in Hamp.

They started toward the chateau,
keeping well in the shade of the boxed
trees, the princess between the two
men.

my fears Il bit? With all due respect
to your estimable clients, it occurs to
me that they are likely to break over

''Thank you. Oh. isn't 1t horrid

struck you!" She shuddered.
He was about to answer in his de-
