MYSTERY OF THE HOUSEHOLD
Disappearance and Return Of Lady's
Summer Dress Couldn't Be Laid
e, the Servant,

Up spoke the woman who likes to
keep her apartment in order:
"A household mystery happens once
in awhile" she said. II had one few
days ago about summer dress that I
bought last fall when the weather was
too cold to wear It. ! packed 1t away
and forgot about It until the other day.
Then went to the box in certain
closet where l knew had put it. The
dress wasn't there looked through
the rest of the closet without any bet
ter success. Then got excited and
turned everything upside down every
where that thought 1t could be. FL
nally l went into the storeroom and
looked through all the trunks. Not a
sign of It. So / had to give 1t up.
Later my servant brought me box
which had come up the dumb waiter.
Inside was my dress. There wasn't q
mark on the box to show that 1t be-
longed to me. The only explanation
I could think Of was that some one
had taken 1t, found that It didn't fit
and had decided to return It."
1T never occurred to YOU. did 1t.

Owing to the fact that alder and
willow comprise the only wood In
the gulch. nearly all the location stakes
are of these woods. which, in the ab-

eagerly.
A great many Of the animals have

Washington, May 3.-President Will
sons interference in the election Of a
chairman Of the democratic congress
sional campaign committee, which re-
suited in postponing at the presidents
request the meeting of the committee
for two weeks, points to a clash be-
tween the Clark Underwood forces in
the house and the Wilson Bryan forces.
The significance of the move by the
president, which is an extraordinary
one, became clear today. Speaker
Clark and Representative Underwood
has settled on Representative Ben
Johnson. of Kentucky, for chairman
The president was apprised of it by
Representative Palmer, of Pennsyl-
vania. Many Of the progressive demo-
Gratis in the house look on Johnson as
a satellite of the speaker and Leader
Underwood and do not want him for
chairman Moreover, the president was
not consulted about it and he feels he
ought to be.
Creates Sensation.
President Wilson takes the view his
interest in defense Of the tariff bill and
election of a democratic house next
year is even greater than the interest
of the house leaders. He wants the
national and the congressional commit
tees to work together Also. he wants
man at the head of the congressional
committee who is an original Wilson

son is not a progressive and is the man
who took physical possession of the

and by so doing actually blocked It's

Heretofore, a president has taken no
hand in the selection Of chairman
Of the congressional committee. the
fact President Wilson is doing so. has
caused a political sensation at the

Fastening Battery Wires.

There are two ways of doing almost
everything, and this is especially true
of fastening battery and coil terminal
wires. One way is wrong, and the
other is to twist the bare end Of the
wire around the terminal as the hands
of the clock move, and then tighten
up the nut. The reason for this is be.
cause the screw-thread is right-hand-
ed, therefore the tendency of the tight
ening nut will be to twist the wire
around the terminal tighter than 1t
was Should the wire be twisted the
other way, the nut would tend to IN
twist 1t and It would slip under the
nut and very likely get a very poor
hold.

1908 Masonic Temple; phone 1871
Chicago, May 3-Wheat-On brllli-
ant prospects for the new crop. a more
settled political situation abroad ana
an apparent filling up OF the foreign
demand, wheat prices have ruled gen
orally lower for the week, the close TO-
night being nearly a cent under that OF
a week ago. Liverpool showed a dis
position to discourage advance on this
side, altho it is believed that both the
United Kingdom and the continent VIII
continue to need our surplus. Clear
ances for the week have been rather
light. due to limited stocks at the sea-
board.
Corn-The undertone TO the corn
market. for the past week mas been
rather strong. Local stocks are not
burdenaome, as is shown by the fact
that only about 100000 bushels have
been delivered to date on May con-
tracts. At the present time, the mar
ket shows a disposition to follow trend
of wheat. Advices indicate that the
movement from the country is likely to
increase somewhat in the near future,
but this movement is likely to prove
disappointing. as stocks in first hands
are pretty firmly held. Except for the
fact that there is insufficient moisture
in some sections, the weather has been
favorable for preparing the soil,
Oats-For the first week in some
time, oats have shown considerable
independent strength and the close to-
night is ss to l cent higher than last
week. What few deliveries were made
were taken mostly by the leading in
terests which has been supporting the
market.
Provisions-A Saturday delivery OF
pork caused early selling. making the
whole list weaker and lower. A de-
cline in hog values at the yards
caused easier tone. Buying of lard by
small packers and commission houses
to steady values, aitho outside business
was rather limited.

Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, May 8. A tightening
J money market and fear OF adverse tar
j if legislation is doubtless proving
! large factor in holding demand down
| to much smaller proportions than
| few weeks back, but the farmers busy
season is also tending to keep demand
| IN check temporarily, while the sharp
, declines in fat cattle values during the
/ first half of the week had a further de-
pressing influence. The trade is
strongly partial to the lighter ana
| thinner grades of steers now that good
grass is availa Bile in most all sections.
The heavier and fleShier classes OF
feeders are getting short call froni
all sections, nearly all buyers being for
something of a light young class that
can be put on grass and grow out OF
its high initial cost.
The trade during the week on the
good TO choice grades of $50 @1 900
pound steers has been largely between
s74Om775. with only a few cars OF
very choice selected heavy feeders of
meatier grade than sold at the price
last week going up 10 ST.S56S, and
few of the very best selected steer
yearlings making the same rates.
Down around s7@735 plain and me-
dunn class of stock steers and com
mon to decent feeders is selling, a
common sort Of off-colored light stuff
at &6.5066.75, some inferior little knot
heads down around Sc. Stock COWS
and heifers have held up fairly, the
more desirable grades being nearly as
high as a week ago and there being
outlet for choice feeding heifers as
high as 1918, and some Of the best
young feding cows up to 1928. While
only a plain class OF feeding COWS sells
under 1915. and a common grade OF
light stock heifers as as Sc.
