| Chicago, May 5.-wHEAT-At this
| time last year leader in the trade
took practically all the corn and oats
on the heavy May deliveries and in
80 or so days the whole bunch Of both
cereals was merchandsed at good high
prices and good profits. The conditions
| at that time in the coarse grains were
very much the same the conditions in
wheat at this time. The way the ship
ping sales of wheat started off yester-
day, 100000 bushels soon after de-
livery day, may indicate that a large
part of the wheat held here by elevator
people and others through the winter
months will now go out by rail and lake
| to distributing and filling points 1t Is
easy to see how this will strengthen the
commercial position of the market. Smi-
| ley of Kansas conceeds that there is q
shortage of moisture in that territory.
| The trade will be little cautious about
taking the selling side until the WASH
ington crop figures are made public on
Friday. Local shorts are we'll covered
up. There naturally will be a lot of
profit taking by those who are right on
the upturn. 1t looks like spot to
cinch some profits but the buying side
OF the market will be popular on the
| breaks so long as cash prices lead the
futures and stocks go on decreasing in
all quarters.

I'm connection with this work Prof.
Boyer will also make a study of the
adaptability of the different sand, gra-

In addition to these special topics
Of study, the work of completing the

ninety-nine counties of Iowa reports
on the geology of seventy-f1ve have
been published, ten reports are in a

new Theory In
The SICEL CASE
NEW YORK POLICE THINK LEON
MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED
WITH GIRL.

New York, June 29-Failure to find
any trace whatever of Leon Ling
caused the police to give some atten-
ton to the theory strongly revived
today that the missing man may not
have killed Elsie Sigel and that he was
himself the victim of the same hand
that killed the girl.
Doubt Chung Sins Story.
This line of reasoning necessitates
the rejection of the story told by
Chung Sin, who said he had seen Leon
in the room over the Eighth avenue
restaurant where Miss SigePs dead
body lay, but the authorities declare
that Chung's statements have shown
discrepancies with known facts in sew
eral particulars.
In considering the possibility that
Leon was killed it is regarded as prob
able that his body was placed in .

AMENDMENTS AFTER BAILEY
INCOME TAX PLAN is FILED AND
sPEEcHMAKING BEGINS.

Washington, D. c., June 29.-Not-
withstanding the torrid weather there
was large audience present when
the senate today began the battle for
the income tax. Senator Aldrich in
mapping out the campaign entered
upon, said the finance committee had
determined that the offering of amend
ments to the schedules Of the bill
while In committee Of the whole
should not continue further at this
time as they could be brought forth
by the senators after the bill had
reached the senate in parliamentary
sense. To give force to that purpose
he said he would move to lay on the
table any other amendments that
might be offered at this time,
Afdrich States His Position.
In the course of an answer to ques-
tons, Senator Aldrich said he would
support the corporation tax amend
ment as means of defeating the In
come tax. He expressed the opinion
that the corporation tax would be re-
pealed after two years Ut the rate ma
terially lowered.
TlIlman Wants Tea Duty.
When the tariff bill was taken up
llS luCOllG Idx QuSSltOu was put doluC
to enable Tillman to present his
amendment for duty on tea, with the
purpose in view of completing the
schedules before taking up the tax
question. Tillman told the superior
quality Of American grown tea, of the
enormous profits made in the imported
article Of the possibilities in case the
domestic industry should be properly
fostered and declared with the duty
he asked for, the south would not
only be enabled to supply the entire
American market, but would eventual

RaIks at Term Bounty"
/ Mr. Dixon suggested bounty as a
means of nurturing the infant tea In
dustry. He was strongly supported
in making that suggestion by Mr..
Smith of Michigan, who declared a
bounty would be the practical method
Of obtaining the result desired. Til
man responded that he did not pro-
pose to be caught in advocating a
bounty. He would not accept bounty,
he said, If dollar a pound WIS
offered.
The Tillman amendment providing
for duty on tea, was defeated, 10 to
IS.
Corporation Tax Vote First.
At 2:30 p. M, Aldrich called up the
Bailey income tax amendment as the
prevailing question, under the agree
ment to take up the general subject
upon the disposal of the schedules
Mr.. Lodge offered a countervailins
tax as an amendment. Aldrich ther
proceeding cuts out all possibility Of
stitute for Dodge's provision. This
proceeding cuts out all possibility o.
other amendments and insures the
first vote on the corporation tax. Mr.
Flint opened the debate with a speech
in support of the corporation tax pro

This announcement was made yes

1.-THE subject of water power is be-
coming of increased Importance and
merits careful attention from the
state" said Mr.. Lees. The people
should know what resources they have
and how wonderful the possibilities
are before they are absorbed by the
ever watchful corporations. These cor
porations are already alive to the OPP
portunity and many are availing them
selves of the ignorance or carelessness
of the public to gain water power sites
which will give them an immense adj
vantage within the next few years
while the real owners Of these re
sources the people, will gain nothing.

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. 1t is a feeling common
to the majority of US that we
do not get quite the amount Of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more OF
less miserable i'll health takes
the first place. No doubt a
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. -For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any " bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence Of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties &C
pure Cod Liver Oil, combined
with the Compound Syrup Of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry. No
thing has such a record of sue
cess in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says: I have
much pleasure in stating that /
kave used it in cases Of debility
and found it to be very Valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
to take" You cannot be disap-
pointed in it. Sold os chemists,
