BELIEVE WOMAN is
BEING PAID BACK

Mt. Pleasant, March 5.-Some years
ago when she was but a girl of 16,
Mrs. Annie Yusko caught seven ducks
belonging to neighbor and plucked
out their eyes. The neighbor hurled i'm
precautions upon her for the act and
wished that God might visit misfor-
tune upon her in kind" Today the
three children Of Mrs. Yusko are al
most totally blind. And because her
husband, George Yusko, could not pre-
vail upon her to break the curse by
apologizing to the woman whose ducks
she injured, he has deserted her, fear
full that other children might be born
blind. Surgeons declare that constant
worry over the neighbours words Is re-
sponsible for the condition of the chill
dren. The facts were brought out at
a hearing following the arrest OF
Yusko on charge Of non-support.

GRAIN QUOTATIONS.

CASH PURCHASES IN THE MORN
ING BOOST MARKET But BEARS
BEGIN WORKING LATER.

Chicago, March, 5-Active purchas-
ing by cash houses rallied wheat TO-DAY
after a sharp break Que to lower prices
at Liverpool. 1t was said heavy OFFER
ings Of Argentine wheat We're being
pressed for sale in Europe, but there
seemed to be no disposition among DO
nestle rural holders to unload. Favor
able weather for the new winter crop,
however, had something Of a bearish
influence. Opening prices, which rang
ed from 3&c decline to NC advance.
were followed by moderate rise all
around and then series OF nervous
reactions.
The close was unsettled, unchanged
to sc down.
Rough weather that promised to
lesson receipts gave comparative
strength to corn. The market, though,
felt the unsettling effect of the course
Of wheat. After opening a to &c of
to shade up, prices hardened little,
but later underwent sag.
The close was nervous at rs a Nc I'M
der last night.
Oats traders took tier cue from
corn. Offerings were light after little
rush Of selling at the outset.
Higher quotations for hogs carried
provisions upgrade. Dispatches telling
Of detention of Chicago shipments of
lard and meats by Great Britain SEEM
