The Best He Could DO.

Explorers hate to take back or
amend anything they have written"
said F. S. Dallenbaugh of the Ameri-
can Geographical society. They are
like the Waldo editor there
"A man entered the Waldo editors
office and shouted, angrily:
"'You said in yesterdays paper that
I'd been hanged. It's false. I've new
er been condemned, let alone hanged.
Well, my friend said the other,
SITS our policy never to issue direct
contradictions. They shake the con-
fidence of the reader. But I'll tell you
what we'll dc for you. Well say you
were cut down before life was ex-

stopped the one-sided combat. At no
time did the former terror of the
roped arena have even passing
chance at the man who clinched the
championship of this country by viz
tue of a victory over Bill Squires.
The men clashed for a purse of
s12,50o, which was divided on a SO

Fitzsimmons had trained hard for the

stiff from having been so long out of

SHOWS over the winter wheat belt.
Local contract stocks shows an in
crease of 13S,000 the past week and is
now 2,9SS,000. Yesterdays spasm in
December wheat indicates that a fair

to remain short longer is extremely

Corn-Low temperatures continue
to favor the grading of corn although
SHOWS and Geld weather interrupt the
movement. 1t is highly probable that
the contract stock will be two million
by the close of the week which is gen
orally believed to be a sutficint
amount to settle the outstanding open
interest. We do not look for any seri-
Gus congestion in December delivery.
Neither do we anticipate any severe
break. We feel however that with an
immense short interest eliminated
