ignated for service in one Of the
colored regiments, and he will have
the rank, privileges and emolu-
rnents Of first lieutenant. DR..
Francis has already passed the
physical examination and has under
gone tests in practical dentistry
and he has now gone to Columbus
Barracks, Ohio, for further exat,tn-
atoms. The matter was pushed to

elsewhere, and it Is understood that
this Is to be an entering wedge of It
plan to have colored dental sur
geons attached to each Of the four
colored regiments Of the Army, Just

bushels to 100000. 900 bushels The Of
hciaI figures for last year were IT,

best the Canadian crop would be late,

business was reported as having taken
quite squirt. making milling demand
good. Cables had also considerable In
huence adverse to tho bears, notably
references to strained political relations
among European countries. The voting
on reciprocity. far from causing de-
preston. seemed If anything to act the
toward removing a 1ong-continued drag
Of uncertainty.
