In the stock market, Steel common,
that had declined from 63 to 90 Thurs
day, fell quickly to 53A, and Steel pre-
terred that had been ia and had de-
clined before the close to LOG, was
down to 1924. Great Northern fell
from $124h to 1904, Northern Pa
eiflc to from 114h to 1928 and other
stocks were proportionately weak, ex-
cept Union Pacific and Canadian Pa
cttic, which We're stronger.
Local traders who stood about the
tfckers and saw stocks go sliding
downward were surprised to see them
turn suddenly and start up again later
in the day. Steel came up TO 57A,
Northern Pacific TO ia and Great
Northern to 1913. Canadian Pacific,

Der ADVANCES 6 CENTS.
100000 BUS. ORDERED
Heavy Declines in Wall Street Stocks

Bear Drive Against Steel
and Hill Roads.

Minneapolis, Mimi. - Wild scenes
were witnessed in the wheat pit when
the chamber of commerce began bust
ness and the price advanced SIS cents
in five minutes, scoring 6 cents ad-
vance before the day was over. While
frantic brokers fought to fill buying
orders for wheat in Minneapolis.
heavy declines occurred in Wall
street. Steel common fell ) points,
Canadian Pacific advanced 4a, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific fell
2 points, 500 went down 5 points,
Union Pacific was strong, and Wis
consin Central up from 4S to 4912.
Barley went up 8 cents in Minneap-
oils. Flax, corn, oats and rye also
registered material advances.
Wild-eyed grain brokers, Selling
kilograms that were rushed to them,
dashed into the pit to ill orders, but
the price went up so fast that they
could not get them filled without pay
ing up for the wheat.
Rush of Country Orders.
North Dakota alone sent into Min
neapolis buying orders for 1000, 900
bushels of wheat.
Messages from Fargo, Grand Forks,
Minot and Devils Lake to Minneapolis
grain commission firms, said that the
towns were filled with farmers who
had stopped their theshing or other
farm work and were in own to cele.
brate and talk over the defeat of reci-
prOcity.
From towns like those named, and
from Comstock, Sioux Fails, Aberdeen
and other places where Minneapolis
brokers maintain branch offices with
private wire connections, the orders
to buy wheat were heavy.
Immense Amount Sold.
Buying directions for five million
bushels or more came in before the
5000 and 10000 bushels from towns in
Minnesota and the Dakotas, and some
from western Canada points.
Meanwhile the local element that
trades in privileges or puts and
calls" found themselves obligated on
sales of a million or more calls at
prices from S1.06A to $1.O7, and they
started to cover. Chicago held back,
after a moderate advance, but Min
neapolis kept climbing.
The advance was so sudden and di-
rect that reaction followed, December
wheat going back from $1.O9 to
$1.07&, and May, which had risen from
$1.07A to $1.12&, came back to
$1.11&. But the excitement broke out
afresh along towards the noon hour,
December went to another high point
at $1.093s and May bounded up to
$1.13B. Then the last of the short
sellers bought in, December shot up
to $1.10A and May to $1.14A. De-
cember closed at $1.O9% @1.O9%, and
May at $1,139s.

Dayton, Ohio. Forced into the
air by the jeers of thousands who call
ed him a coward, Frank H. Miller,
aged %, a Toledo aviator, shot into
the sky at twilight and at the height
of 200 feet was burned to death be-
fore the eyes of the terrified specta-
tors on the Miambi county fair
grounds at Troy.
Miller had circled the race track
and was just starting on a spiral
glide into a n~eighboring corn field
when something went wrong. He
could be seer making a frantic at
tempt to get his machine under con-
troll when suddenly the whirring of
the propellers ceased. The craft then
dropped like a shot for fifty feet, a
tiny flame shooting from the engine
and then the gasoline tank exploded.
The machine was wrecked by the
impact and debris was hurled hun
dreds of feet in all directions. What
remained of the machine and its driv-
er burned almost to a crisp as they
dropped rapidly to the earth. Miller
used a Strobel biplane.

fell on a hillside. Castellane was
found buried beneath the wreCkage of
his engine and plane. His wife wit.

Old Map of South America.

Claude Vautin, an English mining
engineer, who has been prospecting in
Peru, returned the other day on the
steamship Zacapa. Besides looking
after mining property, he has been
collecting interesting antiquities of
the country.
One of the most interesting things
he brings back with him is a map Of
South America made by the Jesuits in
1892 1t gives an outline of the land
as far north as Cuba and is apparent
ly accurate. It's purpose is evidently
plain, for every missionary station in
the country at that time is indicated
on the map, and the line of travel
necessary to reach them is marked
out. This map was obtained by Mr.
Vautin at Puno, Peru.
Another interesting collection he
brought back is the death masks Of
the Incas. These were hammered out
of metal and placed over the faces of
the dead Three of these obtained By
Mr. Vautin are of sheet gold

PRISONEROF VEAL TIL
Her Fortune a Burden to Mrs.
Russell Sage.
6eeqars Force Her Into Retirement
and Change Her From a Sweet,
Kindly Woman to One of
Suspicion.

New York-One of the most pathet-
lie figures in the world today is Mrs.
Russell Sage, upon whom the fortune
left her by her husband imposes
fearful burden. There is scarcely
day that she does not weep, one OF
her intimate friends tells us. she
sits and cries at the intolerable bur
den of having $65, 100000 on her
shoulders, at the task of distributing
that huge fortune in the way that will
do the most good. She is 80 years
old and has New England con-
science. She wants to do just the
right thing with it all, and it requires
an amount of thought and study and
imposes a feeling of responsibility
that is hard on an old woman who
only wants a quiet corner to spend
her few remaining years in.
Mrs. Sage has aged very much
since her husbands death. She has
grown thin, pale, bent and wrinkled.
Aside from the natural grief over Mr..
Sage's death, Mrs. Sage was plunged
almost instantly into storm of ap-
ton Her mail for some years before
Mr.. Sage's death had amounted to be-
tween 40 and so letters day. 1t
leaped instantly to 900 a day, and the
entire surplus was appeals for money.
Within two months after Mr.. Sage's
death 1000 letters were carted away
from her house unopened. Two secre-
taries work night and day almost to
handle Mrs. Sage's private mail. If
she attempted to read 10 per cent Of
it personally she would be able to do
nothing else.
At first she tried conscientiously to
look it over herself She was aston
ished and disguised at some of 1t.
Before Mr.. Sages body was cold in
it's coffin she received letter from
New York man whom she never had
seen asking her to send him a check
for $1,000 by return mail, and he was
kind enough to inclose stamped en-
velope for reply She never asked

Boys PUCK.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD q
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. Ii you are
N need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communl-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartlcs. Ihey
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods They do not scour, they DO
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 70 feet of human
bowels. which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood. which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any nVer
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. Ii
| had my. way 1 would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
10 the stomach, liver and nerves. They
i1vigorate instead OF weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoVerisn
it: they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishmen from food that Is pun
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, nc
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
