Berlin Schocked <
 by Progress of
 Gull of Nudity

BERLIN, February l6.--Germany 's capital needs an Anthony Comstock. The cult of nudity continues to spread, despite the police and denunciations of the reichstag. The society, titled the !" Aristocratisch Nudio Natio Allanz, l" has been formed for the purpose of creating return to the nudity in which men are born. Many members of tho aristocracy belong to the society.
 As the law prohibits nudity in public places, the society holds it's meetings in obscure parts of the city, in the woods of suburbs, aboard boats and oths CT places out of the reach of the police.
 The society publishes a weekly news. paper eontainining illustrated articles on etiquette, showing how men and women should behave in one another's society, how they should bow, dine, etc One amusing incongruity is that the lady members persist in wearing fash ionable coifrure and even hats and veils.
 The cult is making rapid progress. Many men and women of high rank and unblemished personal character have lately joined its ranks.

GRAIN.

CHICAGO, February 16.-The slump in wheat prices at the start was due to decline of l2 to 5-sd in the price of wheat at Liverpool and favorable weather conditions in this country for the fall sown crop, heavy snows being reported over large section, including the Ohio river valley. There was con. siderable selling for short account at the opening of transactions and initial quotations were unchanged to 3-S and l-2c below yesterdays s close. During the first hour trade was quiet and prices held fairly steady at decline. Demand by big holders finally brought out mum erous selling orders for smaller shorts which caused a strong rally and the market closed near the best mark of the day.
 The final prices were: May IA IS to 1l4 1-4; July 100 l.2
 Decreased offerings in corn from the country owing to unfavorable weather conditions, had bullish effect and at tho close prices were 5-s to 7-s and lc above the previous close, with May at 65 5-s to 65 3-4, and July at 65.
 May oats sold here today at 8 IS, the highest price for the season. The market was strong all day. chiefly be- cause of unfavorable weather for move. ment of the crops, which materially curtailed receipts. At the close prices were l-4 to 3-S and 12e higher, as com pared with yesterdays close: May 53 34 ta 5 7-S; July IS 1-2 to IS 5-s.

OBJECT TO GRAND JURY NOTES
CoFFEY's COUNSEL CLAIMS IM. MUNITY OFFER WAS UNDER
 STOOD BY CLIENT

SAN FRANCISCO, February l6.-- The trial of former Supervisor NJ. W. Cofrey, accused of accepting bribe of $4,000 to vote for the trolley fran. chise for the United Railroads, was re- sumed today. After Identification of deposit tags of the United Railroads in the Wells, Fargo Co. bank, and the statement by Ernest r. Nelson. clerk in the reasurer' s office of the United Railroads, that at no time had there been $5o,0o0 in the safe to the credit of Tirey l.. Ford, Miss l.. M Condon, sten- ographer, took the stand with her short hand notes of the proceedings of the grand jury before which the Schmitz supervisors testified.
 Attorney Carroll Cook interposed obs jeetions on the part of the defense to the reading of the notes, on the ground that Coffey had testified under the pro. mise of immunity
 The objection was overruled and Cook then objected, declaring that Miss Condon had never been examined as to her qualifications as stenographer. HoG Cook, for the prosecution, said the defense was at liberty to examine the witness, who was allowed to read the statement of Assistant District Attor- ney Heney to Coffey in the grand jury room that he need not testify to any thing that might incriminate him and that whatever he said must be free and voluntary. To this the defense objected, declaring that, despite that statement, immunity was understood. Assistant District Attorney Hoff Cook replied that the record did not say SO, and that whatever mental reservation Coffey had was rot the question at is- sue. Carroll Cook objected to further reading from the notes and he and At torney Ferral presented authorities to sustain the defense of immunity. With out arguments being concluded the case went over.

Efforts were made to depress Amalgamated and weakness in Steel common had depressing effect. Un- deriving conditions are not changed ma terially and the professional element dominates the market.

In connection with the talk of reduc ing the selling price of steel reports in the street insist that the United States Steel Corporation will have to make substantial cuts in order to hold business, the same reports having it that contracts arc now being placed abroad for steel, finding it possible to import from Germany at saving of about s2.O0 ton. This, say the be- licvers in leaving the tariff as it is, is interesting as indicating what may happen if import duties are lowered.

Dear Sir:
A Land Show for Chicago was pro-
posed in order to familiarize the peo-
pie of Chicago and adjoining States
with the producing possibilities in
unoccupied lands of the United
States.
Chicago was selected rather than
any other city because of the fact that
the United States government re-
ceives more inquiries about land from
people living in Chicago and the
Middle West. Farm lands in Illinois.
Indiana, Iowa and Michigan have be-
come so valuable that the farmers
have found they can sell their land,
move further west or south, buy
cheaper land, equip better farms and
still have money in the bank.
The Land Show will be held in the
Coliseum between November 10th
and December 4th 1903, the
last seven days being the same
dates as for the Fat Stock Show tc
be held at the Stock Yards. to which
100000 people come every year
"The Land Show will be held under
the auspices Of the Chicago Tribune
They do not expect to make any prof
it. All the money to be taken in from
the sale Of space and the sale OF
tickets will be used by "The Tribune
in promoting the Show, in beautifyint
the hall and in contributing to thu
success of the exhibition. Any none,
that may be left over after all ex
penditures for these purposes, will b.
related to the exhibitors as the Ad
visory Committee sees fit, or, it will
be held in the treasury to be used il
promoting a similar show the fol
lowing year.

1T is estimated 100000 people in
and about Chicago are interested in
buying unoccupied lands and win at
tend the Show. Land fakirs and ir-

ted as exhibitors to the show The

ton occupying space in the Show
Il understand that the Department
of the Interior has agreed to repro
duce a large part Of their Portland

are on between the Land Show and
the Apple Growers of the North
west for the Spokane Apple exhibit.
Every day during the Show there
will be a special feature directly call
ing the attention of the public to
crops which are grown on these west
ern and southwestern lands. One day
will be devoted to oranges, one day to
prunes, one day to apples, one day
to raisins, etc Efforts will be di-
rected toward making the Chicago
public consume large quantities of
these products on the days that they
will be specialized at the Land Show
1--WE believe the Land Show will
start the biggest land boom ever seen
in the United States.
"Our line will have large ex-
hibit at the Show, and do every
thing we possibly can to advance
the interests of the developed anc
undeveloped country adjacent to oul
