BROKER IS LUCKY.
Llchstern Will Clean Up a Million
in Wheat.

Chicago, April 15.-After a years
bitter fighting, while awaiting favor
able developments in the wheat mar
ket, Adolph ]. Lichstern now bids
air to reap a million dollars in prof.
It's from his manipulation of May
wheat. 4
About a year ago Mr.. Lichstern
was reported as having approximately
10000 OO bushels of May wheat. A
week ago he is supposed to have had
nearly 20, 900 bushels. His hold
ngs meantime have varied between
lo,OOo, 900 and 80, 900, 900 bushels. On
this wheat he has been paying carry
ng charges that will approximate ST.
500 a day and was in the hole $4,000
800. Mr.. Lichstern las year was forc-
ng the fighting and giving NO quarter.
This year he has been on the de-
iensive and has been forced to buy
continuously to keep the market at
1 figure equal to that at which he first
contracted for his May wheat.
At a time when 1t appeared as II
nothing except the enlistment Of most
unusual influences would help Mr..
Lichstern, there came the reports Of
damage to the soft winter wheat In
the Ohio valley. aud prices started
aloft.
The advantage was grasped quick
ly as it was offered and Mr.. Lich.
stern began unloading the wheat he
has been carrying through two sea-
sons, and which it looked as though
he would have to carry for still an.
other, for within sixty days the next
crop of May wheat will be coming in.

ing Violated. Other News.


! Many of our Milton people are lovers
of the drama, and entertainments of all
kinds even down to the black cork
variety But there is a possibility of
giving us too much Of good thing
During the past two months we have
/ had them galore There appears to he a
syndicate of historic artists, divided into
/ several troupes. When one troupe visits
a place and is successful, the word is
passed along the line and another COM
pany soon makes its appearance This
appears to have been the case with Mil
ton, and accounts for the failure of the
Indy Company to make both ends meet
/ two weeks since The people are sur
feited with the amateur drama on account
of its frequency and the dramatic per
sonal are of such a number that it would
1 require more patrons than a town OF our
population would be likely to turn out
for the troupe to pay expenses. Hence
some thing like the above spells failure.
A coal famine has been on all the fall
It is singular that adjoining towns can
get coal to sell to Milton, and Milton
dealers cannot get it. We think way
out of the dilemma is for the people to
send for a vessel load for themselves,
and get the coal much cheaper. as the
freight is less by water than by rail.
Twenty-years ago no such thing as a
coal famine was known, because people
mostly burned wood. Now wood is al
most as scarce as c al.
1t is said, Laws are made to be
broken 80 And this adage is carried out
i'll Milton. And the one most often brok-
en- is that of stopping teams on the street
crossings. And this IS not by the country
people altogether. They are exCusable,
pant, for, presumably, they are not ac-
quaiEted with the town ordinances But
when it comes to a business man, or his
employees, stopping their or his team,
with impunity on the crossing, in direct
defiance of law, of which he is not ignor
ant, then 1t is time some thing is done,
if only as a reminder that we live in a
law-abiding community Only last Thurs

HERE is how the town of George
town has aroused the spirit of pro-
gressiveness and made possible the
great improvements to its sidewalks
during the present year, and in
cidentally made of the county seat
of Sussex one of the towns which
are a comfort to walk through and
TO look upon. The people there
have expended many thousand
dollars as individuals. in putting
down concrete pavements, and the
town as an incorporate body has
only placed crossings at street in
tersections. They called a joint
meeting of the School Board, the
Town Council, Board of Health,
the New Century Club and all
public spirited citizens to meet and
consider the needs of the town. 1t
was decided that the Friday fol-
lowing Thanksgiving, should be
set aside for a general cleaning up
Of the town, and that all rubbish
in the yards all leaves in the s. streets
and all waste matter shall that day
be cleaned up and the town put in
shape for winter. This is a public
duty easy to discharge, and if all
people will JON in this general ef-
fort to make the towns clean, and
not only refrain from throwing re-
fuse into the streets themselves,
but compel their neighbor who is
not so considerate, to do the same,
the cost Of keeping town attractive
and healthy will be reduced to
minimum. Make your own premi-
ses so clean that your neighbor will
be influenced to do likewise.
