Not much business was transacted IN tne
opening stock market today. The treno
of prices was generally upward without

showed small declines. Delaware ana

sales of $500 shares of ROCK Island at

Prices took an upward turn a1ter the
opening, but the large gains We're con-
fined to the low priced stocks which were
extensively bought. Reading yielded most
of it's one point gain and there was little
of interest in the Copper stocks and hlgh
priced western railroads. There were frac-

right hand badly mangled Mat Der
motta, miner employed in one of the
mines near here was taken to the
Mount Carmel hospital at Pittsbure
Tuesday evening where the mangled
members was amputated later
few days ago some of his fellow
Workmen borrowed five dynamite caps
from him and Tuesday afternoon they
were returned to him.
When he received them he held them
in his hand for a few moments before
putting them away. For some reason
that he can not explain they exploded
and practically blew his hand Off.
The hand was badly mangled and in
some parts was in. shreds and shat
tered bones. He was at once brought
to the hospital for treatment.
The cause of the explosion is mys-
terry. The fellow workman and the
injured man were the best of friends
and he expressed himself as very much
shocked over the accident, and ac-
companied Dermotta to the hospital
and offered his assistance in any way
that he could be of service.

five to ten years in the state penlten-
tlary. He is an old offender and con-
fessed today of having served time in

WOULD NOT GIVE UP HER HAIR
woman Died Rather Than Have Her
/ Beautiful Tresses Shorn.

Denver, May 13.-That Mrs. Mamma
Palmer Valley, "a years. old. sacrificed
her life rather than submit to the loss
OF her luxurant tresses is the belief of
Denver physicians who attended the
woman. Mrs. Valley died at her home
IN Berkeley where she had gone in
the hope of regaining her health.
1t is the opinion of the physicians
that the vitality which should have
sustained Mrs. Valley and fought off
the dread tuberculosis was consumed
IN her great wealth of hair, which had
attained the length of ninety inches
ana was of a deep auburn color. When
told she must lose her treses or per-
maps die she chose the latter course
and would not hear of having her
locks shorn

SHE HOLDS Al CERTIFICATE.
Miss Lott of Norton Retained by
School Board on Her Merits.

Norton, Kan, May Il.
To the Editor of the State Journal. s~S
Please correct an article published in
the Journal of 10th inst. from this
place, concerning the hiring Of teach
ers in our public schools.
It was stated that Miss Elizabeth
Lott. assistant principal, held only a
third grade certificate, which was an
error, as she holds one Of the best pro-
fessional certificates. 1t is contrary to
the rule to hire any teacher for our
schools who holds only a third grade
certificate.
Miss Lott did not apply for the posi-
ton again, but the board in order to Sc
cure her services for another year
unanimously agreed to raise her salary
from $50 to SIS per month, as she is one
of the most thoroughly qualified teach
ers ever in our public schools.

Chicago. May 13.-wHEAT-Most of

30s Commerce Building, Members Chi
cago and Kansas City Boards of Trade.l
Chicago, May 3.-WHEAT-Most of
the advance yesterday was lost in
wheat today. Conditions on the whole
were just as bullish as before, except
that the trade had some reports later
in the session about scattered rains in
Kansas and they feared the effect on
prices in case the map tomorrow
morning should show good rains in that
quarter. There was a very strong mar
ket during the morning when July sold
up to $1.14& and September to s1.067s.
There was only moderate reaction up
to the last hour when the rain reports
and rather free selling of wheat by a
LaSalle street house gave the market
its setback. July closed 11sc lower for
the day, September about &c lower at
s1.05A- Liverpool was fiat owing to
report of cheaper Russian offerings.
Northwest receipts were light at 1l6
cars. Minneapolis decreased stocks so
far this week 100000 bushels. That
point inspected 159 cars of wheat out of
elevator today. The important feature
for the trade to consider is the weather
over the southwest. Early in the ses-
sion numerous dispatches from Kansas
points claimed plant in critical condi-
ton because of drought. These re-
ports are confined mostly to the west
ern portion of the state. We had Mis-
souri, reports also that wheat is still be-
ing plowed up and remaining acreage
promising only half crop in some coun-
ties. The market tomorrow will GER
tainly turn on the presence or absence
of rains over Kansas.
CORN-Weather may be favorable
for corn planting. The forecast of
showers and warmer was on the side of
sellers The smaller receipts, the de-
pleted stocks and the acute situation in
cash corn are all danger signals for
short sellers. Shorts covered this
morning The situation is not relieved
by any good offerings on the part of
the country. Shipping sales were 1885,,
