RISKED Their LIVES.
To Carry Out Promise to Scatter
Crony's Ashes Over the Bar.

San Francisco, Dec. 17-With the
seas pounding requiem on the bar,
seven old cronies of Peter Johnson
carried out their mates last wish yes
terday and gave his ashes to the gale.
They risked their lives to do it. for
the little launch Monk, carrying the
cortege in oilskins, had to churn it's
way through angry waves.
Peter johnson ran a water front
place where seafaring men met and
drank and told sea tales.
Boys, I'm going out soon,'' he said a
few weeks ago, land I want you to take
my ashes out to sea and scatter them
over the bar"
Wen do it, said the seven, and
pledged it with a drink.
Johnson died Saturday. The bar had
been breaking heavily for forty-eight
hours yesterday when Tom Blight took
the urn aboard the Monk. The others
were Fred Wilson, d. J. Scott, John
Peterson, Albert Peterson, Captain
Stevens and Captain Mcpherson. They
were warned against going out, but de-
cided to carry out the mandate of their
friend.
Once a huge wave slapped the boat
down into the trough of the sea and
half submerged it. Two men chung to
the tiller and the other five were set
to bailing- When they came under the
shadow of Point Bonita, they gathered
in the prov of the pitching boat, and,
with heads uncovered, kept their pledge
to their dead friend They then sank
the urn and set back to port

SNAKE POISON UP
Venom of RattIerS Advances
From SO to SIS an Ounce.
Poison Being Successfully Used
In Treating Epilepsy.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE market value
of rattlesnake poison has advanced in
price from 81 per ounce to So. This
hasn't as much to do with the high cost
of living as it has to the cost of pre-
vention of death. Rattlesnake poison
Is being used by many physicians as
q treatment for epilepsy.
Experiments on an extended scale are
being conducted by DIR. Edward E.
Hicks, of Brooklyn, a specialist in nerv-
Gus diseases. He is treating twenty
patients with weekly injection of rat
tlesnake poison, and says that in all
but one of the cases there was highly
satisfactory reduction of the frequency
of commissions
A months treatment in one case low
cred the patients number of epileptic
attacks from thirty-six a week to two
q week.
1--WE cannot tell yet whether the good
results will be complete and perma-
nent,' said DIR. Hicks, but the outlook
is extremely favorable. The discoverer
of the treatment, DIR. Ralph H. Span
gler, OF Philadelphia, reported it only
last May and he states from observa-
ton of cures that the treatment must
be continued at intervals for about a
YEAR"

Reports From the Peace Con-
ference Cause an Advance.
Unsettled Weather in Argen-
tine Also Helps the Bulls.
CORN MARKET is weakened
Increasing Receipts Bring
About Drop in Prices.
Provisions Decline Slightly
Owing to Lack of Support.

Chicago. Dec. 17.-Uneasiness over re-
ports that Turkey had refused to accept
opponents terms caused wheat today to
advance. Unsettled weather in Argentina
and an unexpected decrease in the Euro
pean visible supply helped the bulls. The
government report was ignored.
Opening prices varied from &c off to Ac
advance. May started at S9s4c to S97sc,
unchanged to 1sc lower and rose to $3.50
90Ac.
A reaction ensued owing to primary re-
ceipts three times large as year ago.
The close, however, was firm with May
12c net higher at 90ssc.
CORN-Increasing receipts weakened
corn. May, which opened shade to sc
down at 4S14G4s9sc, declined to 4SAc.
Further weakness developed n conse-
quence of poor demand. The close, though
was steady at &c net lower for May at
4S14@48ssc.
OATS-Oats followed corn and showed
no response to the rally in wheat. May
started a sixteenth lower at 327sc and
eased off to 32sz9327Sc.
VISIONS-Provisions received no
support except from the shorts. First
sales were unchanged to nc below with
May $500 for pork, 9S1zc to 9S1ac for lard
and 9612c to $9.65 for ribs.

ANSWERS GIRLS
Demand of $4,000 a Year Should
Be Met by Parents.
Chicago Men Protest Against
Big Incomes Demanded.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Answer was given
last night by members of a Young
Mems Christian Association here to
maria geabIe girls, who a short time
ago, organized a Young Women's S.
600 club the object of which was to
pledge themselves not to marry
man who made less than
$4,000 year Briefly stated the
answer is: Let father pay the $1,000. -"
Resolutions were drawn up setting
forth that it was agreed that it is
impossible to meet the demands of the
average wife 'on an income less than
the figure named and placing the
mems organization in the following
position regarding it:
This GLIB demands that in cases
where parents have trained their girls
to need $4,000 a year on which to live,
the parents be required to pay the
amount to their sons-in-law who, in
marrying the girls, must shoulder the
consequences of such raining

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 6.-Too
many fed cattle at all the markets last
week injected considerable weakness into
the market on that kind, particularly
steers, and though stock cattle and feed
ers held up steady the week closed off
several points taken as whole. Excess
sive receipts of cattle today at all points
struck the market in a defenseless posi-
ton, and declines today range from 10 to
% cents. The run here is IT, coo and in
Chicago 10000. Heavy liquidation of short
fed steers accounts for much of the sur
plus today, and there are different ex-
plantations of why so many feeders decided
to ship now. The most plausible one is
that feeders see profit, and prefer to
take it than to wait, and take chances.
Sick hogs are hurrying some shipments,
and the usual desire to clean up before
Christmas is having its influence. Bulk
of the fed steers are off half a dollar from
a week ago, selling at $3.50 TO $500, best
quarantine steers today at $685. to $7.15
native cows selling largely at $3.50 to Sc. 70
bulls $3.50 to $50, veals up to $1,000, the
butcher classes not showing as mucn de-
cline as steers. Country buying last week
was liberal, Is 600 head to that trade. as
compared with 10000 head same week last
year. Trade eased off a little at the end
of the week, and the flood of fed cattle
today shakes the confidence of country
buyers a little, though they are still pay
ing Up to $3.50 for feeders, and $40 for
fancy sleek steers.
Hogs declined heavily last week, and the
market is barely steady today, run 5000
head top $7.32h, bulk $500 to $7.25. Re
cefpts are fairly liberal, and weight is i'll
c-easing, which puts the run a little above
fresh meat requirements, which is point
where ackers begin to fight the marvel
-eIcntItssly. They simply will not pack
hogs at IL esent rates, but demand seven
cent market.
The sheep market acquired considerable
bloom last week though not as much as
it is said BY sellers to be entitled ~. Ont

day and there is a temporary lacSsets

speculative conditions today made for

or the extraordinary fluctuations such as
occurred yesterday. Varing of 124 points
were registered in stocks which commonly
moved widely but the changes were ac-

ment which has frequently attended trad

time in the belief that yesterdays bulge
was too rapid and that a reaction would
naturally follow. After the leaders had
been famed down L to 21z there was a
gradual rally which ultimately raised
prices to above yesterdays close. Read

terminate sentence of one to seven
years in the state reformatory for horse
stealing, and Bert Dudley, aged "a, a

WHOLESALE PARDON.
Governor of Arkansas Releases 316
State and A County Convicts.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 17.-GoVernor
Donaghey has pardoned 316 state and "A
county convicts and in a long state
protest against the system of leasing
convicts in vogue in Arkansas. The
governor in his statement scored mag
istrates for imposing long sentences for
trivial offenSes and told of what he
termed disadvantages of the lease sys-
tenn
AS a result of the pardons, three state
convict camps will be abolished but
several camps where prisoners are
working on the roads are housed, will
be continued in operation. Some of the
men pardoned were sentenced to terms
of fifteen years.
The governor in his statement tells
of his unsuccessful efforts to have the
convict lease system abolished and de-
clares that reports made to him by spe-
cial agents of conditions existing on
state and county farms could scarce
~ be accepted as truth gotten from
official documents and personal state
ments, among a civilized people, but for
the records in the case"
In answer to his critics, whom the
governor quotes as having said that a
state penitentiary could not be de-
signed as a Sunday school, he says:
Nor was it designed as a revengeful
hell. OF course, no one intended for 1t
to be such. but in a measure that is
what it and the county farms of the
state have resolved themselves into"
OF the minor courts, Governor Dona-
ghey says:
1.-The abuse of power shown by a
few individuals acting as justices of the
peace in some of the towns and cities is
enough to stagger into amazement

about six thousand men short of its
authorized strength, though latest re-
ports show an Improvement in recruit
ing. In the past few months, however,
enlistments dropped off in an UMPIRE
.cedented degree.
Navy officials believe this was due
partly to the suspension of advertising
countrywide demand and high price
for recruits and on account of the
countrywide demand and high price
paid for farm labor.
