Matt DeCourcy Injured
 Doc Holmes b ResCuG

Writing to the Pioneer from Ruby city June 23, H. Jarvis tells of pain ful accident that overlook Matt De- Courcey on Long creek, while a party was making camp for the night. Matt missed fire with his axe and buried it in his right ankle, splintering the bone and infcting an ugly wound that caused serious loss of blood.
 Doc Holmes, formerly deputy mar ahal here, was camped near, and by a little rude surgery fixed DeCourccy for travel to Ruby city. This journey was accomplishedby horseback, but not un- til DeCourcey had been thrown twice into mud holes.
 Arrived at Ruby city they found dearth of woman's nursing and dearth of doctors care, so it was up to Holmes to go through and sew the wound. This was successfully accom- pllshed and the foot will be all right when healed.

Road Commission to / Aid Willow Street

After calling public meeting where he heard discussed the road proposi- tiOns between Otter-street boosters and Willow-street boosters, Lieutenant Edgerton, of the road commission, be- sides stating that he intended tOdevote most of the funds available to that DOT liOn of the Flat City road that lays midway of the hill on this side of the divide, finally consented to allot the sum of 1000 for the finishing of the Willow-street road started by the gov ernment last fall, if the citizens of the city would subscribe the balance of &, 400, the amount estimated necessary for the work
 The Otter-street boosters sought the assistance of the commission for their road, but Edgerton could find no excuse for abandoning the government road where money had already been spent, in order to place it on parallel road. He was also of the opinion that the WillOw-street road as far as completed IS much better and can be made bet ter highway for less money than the Otter-creek road
 Proceeding on this theory, the citi- zens of the city have been busy for two or three days aud have more than Sl,000 subscribed already. It is their intention to begin work at once.
 
 They say that old Col. Hickey has passed on to his reward, but his mem- ory still remains green. Old Man Baird and Young Eddie Anderson of the Budweiser and the Branch, having received some fresh Times, can certain ly write a clever epitaph.

Why Rabbits Nose Is Snlit

Abby l.. Alger, Tn Indian Tents," Stories
 Told by Penobscot, Passamquoddy and
 Micmac Indians
 In olden time the Red Headed Wood becker once went to visit the Rabbit He saw the rabbit was very poor and had nothing to eat, so he thought he would help him out. He took a green withe, tied it round his waist and said. Mo-
 He went to the side of rotten tree. and pick, pick: Rabbit saw him pull out eel after eel (wood worms), and string them on stick. When the stick was full he brought them to camp and cooked them When they were cooked he and the Rabbit ate supper. and felt happy. Then the Woodpecker took his leave, if'- viting the Rabbit to return his visit soon
 In about three weeks the Rabbit thought it was about time he should ac- cept this invitation, so he went to see the Woodpecker. When he got there hc said: My turn now to get supper" for he thought he could catch cells just as the Woodpecker did. He tied withe about him, went to tree, and pick, pick. pick, harder, then so hard that his nose was flattened and his lip split; but hs caught no cells.
 Old Man Turtle was visiting Woodpeck- CT at this same time. lie took pity on Rabbit. tied withe round his own body. and dved down into the lake, coming up with back load of eels.
 Rabbit thought: Well I can do that Turtle Is a very good fellow. I guess I will ask him to come over to see me-" So he said: Come to see me where live"
 Old Man Turtle went to see Rabbit: but he is such slow traveller that when the Rabbit saw him coming, he though. "I shall have plenty of time to get tho cells ready" so he tied the withe around him and jumped into the water. but every time he jumped he bounced right back.
 He could not dive at all. I
 Turtle saw him and went to the lake. Rabbit said. "I have tried and tried. but I can't get eels. I guess there are none here"
 Turtle knew what the trouble was; but he only said: "Let me have the withe." And in no time he brought up a back load They went home and cooked them. and Rabbit liked Turtle well that they were good friends forver after.

RAINS CAUSE 4
 DECLINE IN WHEAT Feared That Market Has Been Overbought and
 Prices Decline

Chicago, June 24-The grain market to- day declined on good reports from all over the belt of improved conditions of the new crop. In that state. which fur nishes generally such a large propotion of the total yield, the need had been not so much for rain as for relief from heat Developments today were regarded bv many traders as insuring for North Da. kota on the whole a good average stand at least. Quite numerous showers in all the spring wheat territory had an addi- tional effect in bringing about lower prices. Besids, good deal of weight was given to theory that the market had been heavily overbought. Country offerings, too, were free at the July de- livery level, but most of the buyers were holding off for a full cent less. During the day the September option ranged from SShc to s91ac, and closed 1h11Ac off but steady at ss1a@ssSsc.
 The fact that central Illinois had 2 drenching and that other big producing sections were likewise well soaked, gay, the bears complete control of the corr market. It was pointed out in this con neetion that Macon, Mo, where the citi zens were praying for rain yesterday. re. ported heavy downfall this morning. A further influence against values resulted from many longs fearing to carry their grain over until Monday. For September price changes ran from 571ac to 5sssd5s1zc, with the close steady, 11s@11.c net lower at 6IAe. Cash grades were weak. No. ? yellow finished at 550551kc
 Greatly improved weather let oats fall hard' There was big rush on the part of the owners to get out of their hold ings. High and low points for Septem- Der were 421ac and 4bc, with last sales 4ls4d4l7sc. drop of 11sd1Ac from last night. Weakness of hogs and grain made the provision market sag.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, June 24.-Cotton futures opened steady, points off to points up The weather map was again wet. but selling was not stimulated by it.. Shorts were anxious to buy covers over the week end, and the demand from them around the first call was more than the ring could supply, Prices of the new crop months immediately after the call were five points over yester- days close. Liquidation of July put the price four points under yesterdays last quotation. but at this level leading bulls bid for large lots, and there was a re- covery to last nights close. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were two points down to two points up compared with yesterdays final quota tions.
 The old crop months did not show any activity to speak of at any time dur ing the session. but a good volume of business was done in the new crop months. Commission houses received buying orders as the result of renewed complaints of backyard crops in Texas and Oklahoma, in localities where mois ture has been insufficient. A fair amount of hedge buying against sales of spots to Europe was in evidence at all times. At the highest of the morning the new crops were six points over yesterdays close.

What Emerson Wanted

"Those who knew Mir. Emerson best." said Miss Louisa NJ. Alcott were as@ sured that what seemed the decline of his faculties in his latter years was largely but a seeming. Ii was only words he could not command at will. His very of the names of things would often give occasion for flash of his quaint. shrewd wit. I remember once he started for his usual walk when . light shower came up and he returne4 for his umbrella.
 He could not remember the word uNs- brella and we, who had not noticed the shower, had no clew to what he was searching for. Another walking sticl. was brought him. another hat, a fresh ker- chief. only to be refused with that per- pexed shake of the head. I want, said he at last-I want-that thing-that your friends always-borrow-and never bring back" Could any one fail to recog- nize that description?'

OLD CROP COTTON
 VERY UNSETTLED
More Rains Reported in Texas and Crop Out
 look Is Good

New York, June 24.-Old crop cotton was unsettled in todays market with July contracts selling into new low ground for the movement, but the new crop showed rather steadier tone on covering of shorts for over the weekend and prospects for a renewal of dry. hot weather in Texas. The close was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of cents and during the first few minutes sold 2 to points net higher on covering of shorts.
 Private wires reported further showers or rains in Texas and weekly reviews of as a rule but owing to the development Of sufficient trade demand around tho lS-cent level to furnish decided resistance to pressure yesterday, local shorts seemed disposed to take their profits for over the weekend. There was very little snap to the buying and prices eased slightly during the early trading, but following the western belt forecast calling for fair weather in Texas and Oklahoma the new crop covering movement became A little more active and the market sold up to a net advance, of about g 10 10 points on these positions. The old crop, however. weakened during the last hour of the ses- sion, following rumors that there had been a private settlement in July be- tween leading interests and that month sold off to 1359c or 12 points net lower, while August declined 10 14.5Oc a net less of about points. Later the rumors of private settlement were denied and the old crop closed about 6 points up from the lowest while last prices were off ba haQt no crop months.

Try the Eucalypi Pipe

From the Scientific American.
 In South Africa, where many species of the Australian eucalypti have been successfully naturalized, q curious use has been made of the cones of the red gum tree. These are of fair size and when the seeds have been shaken out re- semble cup in shape. It occurred to some ingenious person that the cones would make good pipe bowls. A hole was bored in the base of the cone and piece or slender bamboo selected. When the two portions were joined together a very serviceabe and novel pipe was the result An experienced smoker declares the eucalyptus pipe to be very agreeable in use, as the natural fragrance of the cone mparts delicate fragrance to the flavor of the tobacco.
