Daily Grain Letter.


CHICAGO, Feb. 5.--Wheat-M Mild
weather was shown in most all oil
rections although some low tempera-
lures through the north will cause
apprehension OF a freeze in the winter
sections which are unprotected. The
rapid increase in tho number Of crop
damage complaints adds further to
the general bullishness vi the local
and domestic situation The steady
decrease of the firmly held contract
stocks Is decided menace to the
May short. AS long as cash prem
iums are we'll held and Chicago May
wheat is relatively cheaper than the
same delivery elsewhere purchases
on soft spots will continue to be profit
able.
Corn-The heavy cash market has
been a drag on the futures. IL these
are relieved from hedging pressure.
the immense purchasing power of the
Speculation will easily lift prices. Some
good profits have been taken on the
recent bulge and traders who secured
lne sdiue are ready 10 guy on SUI
spots.
Oats-Moderate receipts have 1ed
to the taking of some oats out of reg
ular storage and further diminishing
the steadily decreasing contract
stocks. With break up in the roads,
receipts will fall off more and stocks
will doubtless decrease at rapid
rate.

A Word for the Fright Wad."

In France they have an expressive
phrase, liquid money" 1t means
that part of the family income which
is used for the necessities and luxuries
of life. 1t is quite apart from and
kept apart from the more serious,
substantial part of the income. which
is the saved part. In America the
entire income is liquid and the
man who attempts to make part of it
solid Is called tight wad." A
tight wad" is really man who ere.
ates principal, capital, in other
words, and he is the living example
of what every private business must
be and of how the country's resources
should We handled.

go his thumb. No attention being
paid to this, said Shadley, he drew a
revolver and fired, the result being
that Wright fell dead Shadley could
not give any explanation of the reason
that he was carrying revolver, stick
ing to the story. however, so far as
the self-defense end of it was con-
cerned. He admitted that the feeling
against him was very bitter in New
Albany, and that the sheriff had taken
him to Jacksonville, about ten miles
up the river from New Albany where
the penitentiary is located, for safe
keeping. His preliminary nearing was
before justice Of the peace, at which
time he was acquitted. This did not
prevent the grand jury from finding
a true bill against him. Shadley says
that he hopes to be able to substan-
tiate his innocence, when he reaches
New Albany, althoughi.it is claimed
that Wright's brother, who has been
on his trail for nine years, has evil
dence which is deemed sufficiently
strong to convict, from the viewpoint
of the prosecution.

What the Sheriff Said.

Sheriff Sittason, who arrived last
evening from New Albany, although
he was not in Office at the time OF
the killing. is of the opinion that Shad.
ley did not act in self-defense. He says
that Wright, the man who lost his
life, was foreman of a varnish factory
in New Albany, and representative
citizen. Stories had been circulated,
the sheriff said, to the effect that
Shadley had insulted Wright's daugh-
ter. This coming to the ear of Wright
he reprimanded Shadley, the sheriff
said. when he met him on the street
A fight resulted, and after it was over
according to the report which reached
the sheriff, Shadley went and got a
revolver and when he came across
Wright he shot him five times, ac
cording to the reports which reached
him. Richard Wright, brother, also
in the varnish business, took an oath
that he would never let up in his
search for the man who killed his
brother, the sheriff said last night
Wright was we'll acquainted with all
the commercial travellers that came
through New Albany. and few days
ago he learned that man by the
name of Shadley was in Quincy. This
information was communicated TIC
Sheriff Sittason, who at once sent
word to Chief of Police Koch. AS
soon as all the preliminaries had been
attended to the word come to Quincy
that warrant was on the way, sc
the detectives at once placed Shadley
under arrest. He expects to be able
to clear himself of the charge as soon
ais his case comes to trial.
