CHICAGO, September 10.-Unsettled
weather tending to interfere with the
free movement of the crop had bull
ish effect today on wheat. Dealers mere
reported that virtually no grain had
been bought to arrive on overnight
bids to the country, and that consign-
ment notices were small. On the other
hand, the inquiry from millers contin-
ued to be of somewhat pressing
character. After opening " to " up,
with September at 95A to 96. and De-
cember at a2A to 921. the market
scored material further gain all
around.
Predictions of frost in the northwest
gave only temporary strength to corn
Commission houses were prompt to sell
on the bulge in prices. The opening,
which ranged from Aa% off to u ad-
vance, was followed by slight gen.
eral upturn, and then a moderate sag.
Oats held within narrow limits.
Lightness of offerings made the market
firm as compared with corn.
Higher prices. for hogs lifted provl-
sions: For the most part. however.
trade was of a scattering character
Advices that thrashing results IN

uary at 1880. There was heavy realiz-

ing a disposition to take profits on a
somewhat less favorable view of inter-
national politics, and subsequent fiuctu-
ations were more or less Irregular.
Profit taking became still heavier as
prices eased off and the market broke

Where the Responsibility Rests.

The legislatures are beginning to get
in shape to take their annual whack. a:
prosperity. Every fellow with an axe
to grind is grinding it. What are the
fellows they are after doing about it?
Are you getting ready to put your side
fairly and squarely before your mem
Der of the legislature and of congress?
Or are you waiting till the other fell
low has him buffaloed, so you can take
it out in calling him dub? Remem-
Der there wouldn't be so many dub
Legislators if there weren't 50 many
dub constituents. Be sure you aren't
a dub
Dub constituents are responsible for
dub legislatures. and dub legislatures
are responsible for the monster array
of laws that cucumber our statutes and
provoke litigation. Most people look
for surcease of all wrongs through an
act of the legislature, but apparently
it neve occurs to anyone to 10 k for
betterment through the enforcement
of laws. Enactment of laws is con.
sidered the cure, enforc ement of law
is dead letter. Thus the cat Is put
before the horse and kept tn ere.-The
Searchlig hit.

ACountrT Church.

CIear-eyed and prime, with walls Of
white
Among the leaves Of birch
That tinged but did not stem the light.
Nestled theJittle church.
All summer open to the air
And all that green a-quiver there.
About were tender. dreamy sounds;
The stamp Of horses feet,
The mumbling bees upon their rounds
Where clover nodded sweet,
A piping quail-the grain low bent
Showed where her furtive flutterings
went.
Next father in the pew's long row.
Came urchins sternly shod;
Next mother-for she planned it So
Laying. when sermon time oppressed.
His poppy cheek upon her breast.
Bare stretched your aisle and long
your hour.
To many childish wight,
Wee churches, yet rich in holy power.
You blessed as angels might.
Long years have gone-our faith is
true:
Long yeara we've prayed, because of
you.
