Miss Geraldine FarTar as a goose girl!
1t will come perhaps as something OF a
shock TO many Of her admirers, at least
until they have seen her in the part
Yet such Is TO be her next role the role
that she VIII appear in on "Wednesday
night when Englebert Humperdinck' s
latest opera "konigskinder,' receives at
the Metropolitan Opera House its first
production upon any stage. And Miss
Farrar acknowledged last week TO a
Tribune representative that she has
never had q part which she has ap-
rroached more enthusiastically.
In fact, IT was sll about the goose
girl that she wished TO talk when the re-
porter found her in her apartments in
the Hotel Knickerbocker. The signed
photographs OF the German royal family
that stood upon her mantelpiece didn't
count .n the Ieast-it was the goose girl
and the simple life, and folk music, and

Farrar takes a special interest-in short.

Grain Qpinions,

Logan q Bryant looks as though
the supplies of 1909 and 1910 wheat
will be abundant enough to force a
decline to an exporting basis in the
end whatever the present action may
be. 1t looks like a market to sell on
sWells.
Finley Darrell & Co.-Although spe-
culative conditions in wheat NAV
cause temporary advances, we believe
they should be taken advantage to
sell. The corn market lacks leadership
and we advise taking profits on long
stuff.
Bartlett, Patten & Co.-The short
sellers cannot be said to have achiev
ed a signal victory considering the
amount of selling pressure put on the
market The northwestern situation
must be watched closely from now on
as well as the winter wheat situation
and both together are likely to give
us some rapid market changes. We
look for narrow trading market in

Wheat Gossip.

Chicago May ia man who is in
the best position to know what is going
on in May wheat says a northwestern
milling concern is short May wheat
here and is shipping most of the wheat
here to deliver on its sales. 1t is the
general impression that Lichtstein has
been short May wheat and he is still
short. Some claim that he is also
bringing down cash wheat to deliver
on his sales. Lichtstein was short at
one time 100000 bushels May wheat
and his line has been greatly reduced
but how much he is still short only
Lichtstein and his brokers know and
they are not talking. Wheat traders
in discussing the situation last night
were able to account for sale of 2,OOO.-
600 bushels July and September by
three houses but they admitted that it
was impossible to trace where it went
to 1t was said that one of the bull
houses bought as much wheat as is
sold. Bears admitted that they had

FARMER gets TWO
YEARS IN THE PEN
FOUND GUILTY LAST NIGHT, MAN
WHO ASSAULTED SELMA Err
IcksoN RECEIVED SENTENCE
TODAY FROM JUDGE BAXTER
MADE PLEA FOR LENlENcY.

Jack Farmer was sentenced to two
years at hard labor in the state prison
at saltwater by Judge Baxter in the
district court this morning. The PEN
atty was for the crime of assault in
the second degree. The prisoner could
have been given sentence OF five
years, but the venerable judge said
that possibly this would be his last
term in this county, and IL he erred
at all in a case of this kind, it was
going to be on the side OF mercy, al
though he believed the prisoner to be
guilty OF very grave offense.
When asked If he had anything to
say before sentence was pronounced,
Farmer said, 'the jury has found me
guilty and all / beg for is leniency."
Farmer was found guilty by a jury
last night, OF assault in the second
degree. The crime was a cowardly and
unprovoked assault in the shape of a
severe and cruel beating he admins
tered to young girl. Selma Erickson,
as she was going home on a Sunday
night in February. 1t Is believed that
he mistook the Erickson girl for some
one else who is alleged to have cross
ed him in a love affair. Farmer is SO
years of age, divorced from his wife,
and he has two dependent children in
Colorado. This was the only criminal
case before the court at this term.

Germany's New Weapon.

London Letter to New York Sur: A
Berlin newspaper announces that the
German emperor witnessed recently
some demonstrations of weapon of
warfare which is likely to play an i'm
portant part in future navel battles.
1t is described as new kind of Greek
fire and 1t Is the invention of a German
officer.
1t is poured out on the water and d.
rected against hostile ships. The fluid
which occasions this fire, the compost
ton of which is secret, is of such a
kind that it floats on the water, and If
Us impossible to extinguish the flames.
1t is reported that in the experiments
at which the emperor was present and
which took place on the legal and
White lakes, all kinds of extinguishing
materials were used to destroy this
new form of Greek fire, but neither
water nor any chemical had the slight
est effect.

Argentine and expectations of small
Indian shipments caused light offer
ings at opening and shorts covered

engine door was opened on the day
of the explosion the flames burst out
and went clear over the head of
Bjerke, burning the back of his shirt,
his trousers and causing ugly burns on

as to both arms. The attending ply
sicians say he had very close call.
He will likely resume his position at
