SOME SPECULATION,
BUT MORE DEBATE
Traders in Wheat Do Not Agree
Upon Significance of Last
Crop Report.

CHICAGO, June e.-AIleged inconclu-
siveness OF the government report as to
the growing crop OF wheat gave rise TO
vehement argument today on change
and. in the end. helped TO put UP prices.
There was more debate. however. than
trade. Assertions were also made that
for the first time in many years the
United States had no wheat sold TO Eu-
rope for shipment during July. August
and September. The close was firm here
and td3c higher. Corn finished at an
advance OF a shade to .a9lc; oats un-
changed TO &c up; provisions showed n
gain OF 16c TO 25c.
Wheat spectators declared that the
difference between apparent results on
June ! last year and actual facts after
harvest were widely apart. Free de-
mand for cash wheat aided IN sustaining
the market for futures. Purchases of
355, 900 bushels since the close OF business
yesterday were reported. About all the
No. j northern here has now been sold
to local and eastern mills. In this con-
nection comment was caused by state
ments that only 100000 bushels of the
stock at Minneapolis had escaped own
ership by the mills there or elsewhere
was from sic to 9lsc, with the close &c UP
al 9l9c.
Stubborn strength characterized corn
Shorts forced the market up at tho last
September kept between 5oac and soc.
OF sGsc The cash market was steady.
No. yellow closed at 59s@6oc.
Selling OF oats was light. September
up. at the higher level.
Provisions displayed considerable
strength. Since March l the shortage In

Clarence Shelton, the genial
Cashier of our bank, who, together
with Mrs. Shelton, spent the holi-
days with Mr.. Shelton's people at
Caledonia, has returned home,
reporting a very enjoyable time.
On Monday night last, at the
hotel at this place, Miss Mary
Sloan, of this county, and Mr.. Guy
w. franklin, of Enterprise,
Oregon, we're united. in marriage,
by Rev. j. F. January. They
were a handsome little couple, and
your correspondent who witnessed
the ceremony, wishes them all
happiness.
Onr nice winter weather has
come to an abrupt ending, and the
mud is about ankle deep all over
town.
Mr., Barlow, who is assistant
cashier of the Bank of Caledonia,
took the place of MI. Shelton,
during the absence of the latter,
and proved himself a very genial
gentleman. We would also say,
incidentally. that he also proved
himself a good hunter on the last
day Of his stay, as honors we're
even between him and Mr.. w. E.
Palmer, our champion hunter, on
the days hunt.
The law abiding citizens of this
little burg are very "slow to
anger" but they have been at last
aroused to a feverish pitch of ex
element, the proverbial last straw
having been added to the camel's
already heavy load, by the dis
graceful occurrences Of the day
before Christmas, when a fight
was INDUCED in by five of the
citizens of this place, any one oil
whom was old enough to have
known better. AS a result of the
upri sing of the righteous indig-
nation of the above mentioned
law abiding citizens, the partici-
pants in the melee were hauled
before Justice Tate, OF Centerville
and a neat little fine. amounting
with costs to S14.35 each, vas as
sessed against four of them, while
the fifth was not to be found, he
having departed for parts un-
known. The charge brough'
against them was disturbing the
peace, but we understand tina
there is a moro serious charge
hanging over one of them, which
we hope may be satisfactorily
settled, as the lesson already ad.
ministered should be sufficient tt
prevent a recurrence of such af'
fairs in the future. HUBITE.

"Too many country school

took the matter in hand, education
would be beyond the reach of the
ordinary citizen. But it seems we
are to tnrn a new leaf; discard
to a great extent, the country
schools, and establish "higf
schools" in their stead; hire con-
veyances to transport the children

JEFFERSON Democrat: "From our

gresham Edward Robb of Perry

Pennington are to be candidates
for the Democratic nomination for
member of congress OF this dis
trict. Congressman Robb has
many friends who remember his
former service as congressman OF
this district, and who will, no
doubt, heartily support his can
didacy, and Walter Hensley is a
native of this county and a prom
inent attorney of st. Francois
county, and has numerous rela-
tives and friends in both counties,
This makes three candidates fol
that honor, and shows that this
district is not considered to be
hopelessly Republican. Other
counties in the district may be
heard from yet, SO that any fore
cast as to whom the nominee viii
be would now be of no value"

OPTIMISM is a desirable possess
sion, and all the big city papers
east, west, north and south-have
it in firm clutch. More than a
year ago, they, n and all, daily
declared the "panic" of 1907 a
has-been; that prosperity had re-
turned in full force to bless the
stricken land. The diurnal procla-
nation has been in evidence ever
since. Therefore, it seems a little
inconsistent when mi reads in
one of those same papers, on the
threshold of the New Year, that
"1910 is to end with the country
recovered from the disaster which
has submerged its activities for
the past two years" In many
instances, from and after October,
1907, we were positively assured
the s'panic'' was but the unsub-
stantial creation of the pessimistic
brain; told to go right along and
have confidence" to disregard
the ingrowing tendency Of our
mid -anatomic protuberance, and
wear out our last years clothes in
evidence Of our patriotism. Times
were A 1, but our Business Lords
deemed it wholesome for the peo-
pie to call q halt in their reckless
extravagance-that was all. Wei
enough, perhaps, the efforts Of the
city papers to allay the fever Q.
distrust, but in what marked con

THIS intensely interesting ito
us of the backwoods) bit of news
was printed in the editorial col
umns of last Mondays Post-Dis-
patch:
There are schoolhouses in the
imperial State of Missouri made OF
logs with dirt floors and square
holes in the walls to let in the
light. These holes are sometimes
closed with glass and are then call
ed windows. In cold weather the
children fill the spaces between the
logs with snow, to make the forlorn
room a little warmer, or rather, a
little less cold.
Farther on, the locations of these
primitive school houses are said
to be s'the Ozarks and the swamp
lands" Wonderful the creative
brain necessary to the output OF a
metropolitan newspaper! How
its urban readers must felicitate
themselves upon their removal
from the hardships and trials OF
their not very far-away rural
neighborsl How fervently the
former, if they be good Christians,
must pray for ample falls of snow.
Gin cold weather." without which
"the spaces between the logs
would go unchinked and the child
rem of the poor country cousins
freeze to death! Great Scott
Can such editorials be writ anc
not overcome us like a winter
blizzard?
