into the reservations. They had been driven
from one hunting ground to another and for
long time had fought at a disadvantage and were
gradually coming to the conclusion that it might
be better to live at their the reservation with
good Texas beef and Government blankets furnished
them, than to depend upon the buffalo for food and
covering. Already these animals were far more
difficult to kill than when l first came into the
country.

South.
In order to make the terms of our treaty with the
Indians good it deemed expedent to forgive the
bad ones, and to take all into the agencies on the
footing. This was hard for the Indians to
derstand; they feared that once in the white mans
power they would receive the punishment they
knew they deserved; SO the guilty ones hid.

culprits, the Government offered a substantial
reward to anyone who would go out and induce them

CHICAGO Report.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Wheat--Frost in
Argentina transposed the Chicago
wheat market from a condition Of ex-
treme dullness at the outset to one
of intense activity most of the time
there after. Quite large number OF
large commission houses have covered
short wheat on a liberal scale today
for customers, latter pe1ng largely
supplied by resting orders to sell that
had been previously placed by mis-
cellaneous longs. Pending the verihca-
lion of the Argentine news, trade dur
ing latter part of session was rather
duh. If the damage should prove inn
portant, which is not improbable al
though confined to more southeriy
areas 1t would have an important
bearing on the geneal wheat situation
the world over.
This contingency has probably re-
duced the selling pressure today, and
may affect size of deliveries this af-
ternoon. Frost damage in Argentine
last year which reduced the crop ma
terfally. was on Get Is. The crop
this year is later than last year. Early
news bearish. New York and north
west report no Improvement in de-
mand for Manitoba wheat as result
of Argentine weather. The Argentine
news, the strike situation, the Deem
Der deliveries and the government re-
port tomorrow, all make for a puzzling
situation in wheat, but one thing seems
certain, and that is that short selling
will be done very cautiously for awhile
and the buying side will be looked
upon with much more favor for the
time being, at least.

Grain Opinions.

Shearson Hammill & Co: The wheat
trade will have to depend exclusively
on the continuation of the domestic
strength and maintenance of premium
position, both of which are very doubt
full propositions on which to base bull
ish operations at the present high level,
Ware a. Leland d CO.: We suggest
operations of a sCslping character in
wheat. Buy May corn on a scale down.
Suggest purchases Of May oats on dips.
S. b. Chaplin: For the present would
buy wheat on the soft spots for quick
turns. Buy oats on the breaks.
]. Fl. Wrenn & Co: Until there is
more evidence of an elimination of
cash wheat premiums the short side
of the market will not prove profitable.
We are of the opinion that there is
a larger short interest in May corn
than there has been for many years
and we still adhere to our previous be-
lief that il is a purchase at and under
this level Of prices-H. g. w. Co.

PRETTY DANCER SNUBS
YOUNG king MANUEL
MISS GABRIELLE RAY COOL WITH
MONARCH, WHO LEAVES
THEATRE IN A HUFF.

London, Dec. 6.-King Manuel of
Portugal has been struck with the
stage door" fever, and members of
his suite are busy watching the young
monarch lest he contract the Johnny"
habit and become viruIently affected.
Miss Gabrielle Ray, a pretty blonde,
who dances in The Dollar Princess, is
the young woman who attracted Ma
nual, but she put a damper on the
kings aspirations to enlarge his ac-
quaintance with people on the stage.
King Manuel was smitIen with the
charming ways of Miss Ray on his
first visit to the theatre. He paid a
second ivsit to the theatre to be in
troduced to her. Miss Ray was sum-
moned to the royal box between acts
and the king received her with every
manifestation of admiration.
The members of his suite feared she
would respond, but she did not She
treated the ardent king most frigid.
ignored his compliments and talked
about flowers and the ornaments that
adorned the box.
How would you like to visit Lis
bon?" asked the king.
"Oh, sir, l could not dance there. -
she answered artlessly. Il must keen
my engagements here"
At that moment a bell rang on the
stage.
THAT bell is for me-" exclaimed
Miss Gabrielle. 81 must go. Thanks
for your politeness. Goodbye"
And, unceremoniously, she fitted
from the box
The young king disappointed left
the theatre Immediately.

REQUESTS Held Valid.

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.--The orphans
court sustained the validity of the will
of the late Anna T. Jeanes, who left
much of her large fortune to charitable
and educational institutions. The es-
tate is estimated to be worth between
100000 and $4,000 600. The viii was
attacked by thirty six heirs at law,
who contended that witnesses who
signed the instrument were interested
parties because they were officers of a
local banking house which had been
named as trustee.
The bonding company in defending
the will asserted that the witnesses
we're merely employees. The case will
be carried to the Pennsylvania supreme
court by the heirs.
