ANIMALS IMPORTED FROM
HAGENBECK FARM NEAR
HAMBURG IN GERMANY

All of the animal acts with the
Carl Hagenbeck and Great Wallace
circus are imported to this country
from the famous Hagenbeck animal
farm at Hamburg, Germany. There
are many new animal faces with the
big show this year which comes to
South Bend June 10 for performances
at 2 and p. m. and a parade at 10
o'clock in the morning.
The baboon is probably the closest
approach TO the human race. Darwin
believes that these little animals are
really the missing links and his re-
search work which took place in the
Hagenbeck winter quarters in Ger
many covered a period of 20 years.
There are two troupes of baboon
actors with the Hagenbeck-W Wallace
circus this season, one is handled by
Mons. De Marco and the other by
Mons. Felix. These little hairy fugi-
tives have been taught to ride bicy-
cles, unicycles. etc. They are dressed

WHEAT BADLY IN
NEED Of SUPPORT
New Crop Being Harvested
Due to Cause Slump In
PriCeS-FarmerS Anxious to
Get Rid of Surplus.
BY JOSEPH F. PRTrCHARD.

CHICAGO, June 16.-In order to
hold the price Of wheat up around the
present level a bull leader with
money and backbone must come to
the front and give that grain needed
support on the weak spots. Lower
prices are slated for wheat because Of
the fact that the new crop is being
harvested in many sections of the
southwest, coupled with the fact that
farmers generally speaking, are anX-
iouS to get rid of a part of their sur
plus because of the knowledge that
an early and heavy movement is as
Sured IL the weather continues favor
able. The markets of the country are
OversOld. Not only have hedging sales
OF large size been put out In the Chi
cago market but spectators with the
ca that prices are TO sell still lower.
have given the market a great deal of
bear attention and their sales have
amounted TO many millions of bushels.
Although conditions and circum-
stances surrounding wheat are decid-
edly bearish, there are many POSSIBLE
tiles in that market. In years gone by
an occasional wet harvest was TO be
seen, and this always carried with il
a great deal of uneasiness on the part
Of shorts in wheat, and it drove these
spectators to cover at losses.
At the present time conditions were
never better for a bumper crop of
wheat
Telegraphic advices from Oklahoma
claim that the cutting of wheat will be
finished by Wednesday and that the
yield will exceed 10000, 900 bushels of
good wheat. The first car of the new
crop to reach Wichita, Kan, was re-
ceived today. It was graded No. 2
red and weighed 81 pounds to the
measured bushel
There was quite a controversy to-
day over the condition Of a cargo or
two OF Argentine corn that was re-
ceived at Galveston, Texas. A New
York house wired its western CORES
pondents that the corn was out or
condition. On this there was some
buying in the Chicago pit but the re-
port was later denied and those who
bought corn threw it overheard at
losses.
Oats were firm all day. There was
heavy buying by local shorts and the
selling was scattered.
Ribs were the leader in provisions
and the demand was general. The
market made fair gains and closed
firm. Small offerings was a feature.
A large western packer sold on the
hard spots The cash trade was re-
ported as some better and the hog
market was without much change.
Increases were shown in the Chicago
provision stocks.

Twentieth Kansas had had only one
man hit, Private Fairchild, killed.
We again formed column and re-
sumed the march TO Malinta, which
place we found occupied by Wheaton's
brigade after severe lighting. / saw
Gen. Wheaton and was informed by
him that Col. Egbert, of the Twenty
Second infantry, had been killed
short time before.
Hale's brigade had pushed through
the woods toward the town of Mey-
cauayan, where the insurgents made
a strong stand IN trenches previously
constructed. At a distance we watch
ed the beautiful fight taking place in
the open country. and with our field
glasses could make out quite we'll that
was going on. In this combat Gen.
Hale was slightly wounded, and Capt.
Krayenbuhl of his staff was killed.
Enough high bullets from the fight
dropped among US TO give us some
thing of a personal interest in the mat
ter, and a man of the Third artillery
near us was wounded by this long
range, dropping fire.
After the fight was over, and Hale's
brigade had occupied the town with
the fearful and wonderful name, or
rather the place where it had been be-
fore the FilipinOs in their retreat burn
ed it, our brigade resumed its march
for a couple of miles, and bivOuacked
in line in the open fields.
We arose refreshed from our beds
of straw, had our bacon, bareback and
coffee. and began a rather strenuous
and noisy day.
AS we pushed slowly north, the ad-
vance of my regiment five hundred
yards in the rear of the Third artil-
lery a lively popping broke out a mile
up the road, and we knew that the adj
vance guard of the brigade was again
getting in touch with the enemy. For
a time two or three of the companies
OF the Third artillery had been in col
umn on the road in the heart of the
town. We noticed that most of the
men seemed to be in little groups along
the side of the road. AS the firing on
the front increased Maj Kobbe order
ed all his men to reinforce the ad-
vance guard.
Ny regiment marched up to this
point. and we at once saw the cause
of the tender solicitUde on the part of
the artillerymen. All along the road
were little fires, and over each one
was brOiling a chicken. The men had
had less than an hour in which to
catch and dress them and get them

The other gave him a sharp glance,
as If estimating the degree of his per
spieaeity. How much could Tom tell?
"Tom"-after a moment, 'ff you

tions as compared with your inten-
tions-promise me that you will not

shock-one that fairly staggered him.
For the first time in all the months
that he had surveyed the silent facade,
he caught a movement at one of the
blinds. 1t was drawn aside, and he
was afforded a momentary glimpse OF
a girls face-the face of the girl in
the crowd.
But It was not this circumstance
alone that stirred him. She was gaz-
ing directly at him with a look that
was both bitterly scornful and accus-
ing. In this new mien the face was
ever more beautiful than he had dared
hope for. But why should she be with
ering him with a look of contemptu-
GUS disdain and rebuke? He had never
in all his life seen her face before this
day.
He was actually stung to an Tnvolun,
