DAMAGE

Chicago, June 4.-This mornings
Inter-Ocean has thefollowing regard
ing the crop situation in the south
west:
Gossip on wheat last night favored
the buying side on all breaks. Reports
of crop damage from Kansas and Ne
hraska are coming too strong and too
uniform to he ignored and the favor
able outlook in the southwest, 80 days
ago., has been generally reduced.
Prices are not as high as they We're
before the government report was is
sued last month and the bulls see
more to buy wheat on now than they
did thirty days ago. The technical
situation is healthier than at that
time as therehas been a shakeout of
weak holders. At the same time the
short interest has been reduced. Trad
ers regard the market largely as a
weather affair. and said that "A con-
tinuation of dry, hot weather in the
southwest with any increase in the
outside buying could easily force
prices higher"

brought about a technical condition
affecting the c. !. Il. market which
was disorganized for a time owing to

OLD ENGLISH CHURCH
QUAINT DURHAM STRUCTURE
DATES BACK 70 SAXON TIMES.
Merrfngton Kirk, Apart From Its An.
tiquity, Is Interesting to the Tour
a., LIST Through a Peculiarly
Gruesome Happening.

London, England-One of the old
and interesting churches of England,
dating back to Saxon times, is Kirk
Merrington, a strong structure, which
crowns hill in the village of Mer-
rington in Durham county. The few
old, STRAIGHTFORWARD oak pews, which
1t contains, as we'll as the gargoyles
and elves, carved upon the ends of the
roof beams, just under the caves,
which look down upon the beholder,
some with protruding tongues, others
with hideous grimace, the quaint
windows and the general air of an
tiquity, all tend to throw around the
structure that curtain of mystery
which infallibly encircles these land
marks of bygone England.
Warrington Kirk is also famous in
another respect, for it's caves shelter
the tomb of the victims of the last
man gibbeted and hanged in chains in
the County of Durham. It is inscribed
as follows:
Here lies the bodies of
John, Jane and Elizabeth, children of
John and Margaret Brass,
VINO were murdered the 2Sth day of
JAM 1858,
BY Andrew Mills, their Fathers servant
FOR which he was executed and hung in

the time Of the murder, in 1863:
