Close Weak 2 to 2hc Lower, Due to Profit Taking
 Sales

Chicago, August 20-Yesterdays gain in wheat was lost on profit-taking sales today and the close was weak, to 21s cents net lower. Corn dropped %G7sc; oats ssc, and provisions to 5 cents, the latter in January pork. The market was almost purely speculative.
 Wheat opened 1a cent down, but reeov- cred momentariy and went s4 cent over yesterday, but the firmness was mere furry. Thereafter the trend was down sward. Recent alleged export sales were not confirmed. notice from the local British consul declaring that the tim idity'' of shippers about foreign sales was not justified, reached the trade after the close. The consul said the shipper will be protected by the Bank of England. The close was only Is cent over the bot tom for the day.
 The decline in corn was influenced by rains, but the markets were relatively steadier than wheat. due largely to local buying on the break
 France was reported in the market for oats at the seaboard, but bids were out of line and profit-taking by spectators re- duced the price.
 Provisions also suffered from profit taking. Expectations of a free movement of hogs next week also was an influ- ence.

THE PoPLARs.

The poplars present another group of widely varying plants, which on account of their rapid growth and extreme hardi- ness are extensively planted in the treeless sections of the northwest, as well as about residences in more equable climates where quick shade and protection are desired. ,s
 When used for immediate effect they are usually accompanied by slower growing trees, which, when sufficiently grown, will altogether replace the poplars.
 THE WILLOWS.
 Willows are seldom used, either as street or park trees. but upon extensive grounds where moist places occur which do not of fer a congenial habitat for other desirable deciduous trees, the willows, because of their adaptation to such spots, are very useful.
 THE TULIP TREE
 The tulip tree, which is also known as the yellow poplar is a rapid growing tree, attaining immense size and showing at tiaotive glassy, fddle-shaped leaves. In spring, trees growing in the open show profusion of yellow tulip-shaped flowers which are later followed by the charac- teristic fieshy fruit of the magnolia. of which it is a representative. While sell dom used for street purposes in cities it is of value for driveways and parks where trees of great size and beauty are admis- sible.
 THE SYCAMORE. The sycamore, or plane tree, both native and oriental, is a most useful street tree, and as well a striking lawn or park tree. In age it represents most picturesque appearance as result of its sturdy, ir- regularly branching limbs and its peculiar

The first witness for the state was Oscar Fischer, undertaken, who pre- pared the body for burial, who extracted the shot from the front left breast and who described the course of the bullets. Three buckshot struck the man, one over the left ear. one in the neck and one pene- trating the shoulder from the back.

 John Cochran, j. l.. Mooney, Jesse Brown, J. Lewis, testified that they had seen Brindley in consultation in differ ent parts of the city the day that Miller was killed with John and Clyde Patter- son, who were sentenced to life imprison- ment at the last session of court for the killing of Miller, they having shot the two men as the tool of Brindley.
 G. W. Phillips swore that Clyde Pat terson put up mule and buggy in his stable. and left there just before 5 o'clock in the afternoon, going in the di- rection where the men were killed.
 Jeff Clifton corroborated this testimony.
 John Stewart swore that he bought l5 cents worth of buckshot for Brndley. and that BrIndley asked him to load some 12-gauge shells for him, but that he had no time to do so and did not; that he also asked to borrow him a gun, and that he was going hunting to kill a buck
 J. L. Mooney testified that he heard the three men talking on the street and that Brindley said: Clyde, you made a good shot and sure shot, but MT. Patterson you let the old man get away, and he will give us trouble'
 John Wren detective and deputy sheriff of Jefferson county. swore to hearing a conversation between Patterson and Brindley in the Birmingham jail in which Brindley asked about the guns. and also why Patterson did not get old man Mill Ter.
