Upturn From Bear Pressure on
Federal Crop Figures Largely Re-
go suit of Liverpool Advices.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Wheat rallied to-
day from an early decline due to the
bearish construction placed on the
United States government crop report.
The ensuing upturn in values was
largely the result of Liverpool advices
telling of import needs and of chances
that the yield in western Europe would
be smaller than had heretofore been
expected. The crop outlook was said
to be especially unfavorable in France.
After opening Y to >. lower the
market rose to above last nights level
all around. with July developing de-
cided strength.
Corn Prices Advance.
Signs of an active shipping demand
from the east had a bullish effect on
corn. Sellers were scarce The open
ing, which ranged from a off to rs ad-
vance, was followed by the market
steadying at a range generally higher
than yesterdays close. especially Tor

Oats hardened with other grain. At
frst, however, the market was under
count of the bearish crop figures from
Washington.
Offerings of provisions were light. In
consequence, the market displayed
flrmness regardless of decline in the
price Of hogs.
Wet weather in the southwest and a
forecast of showers elsewhere brought
about further wheat upturns later. Old

Who Gan Doubt Sworn Testi-
 mOny Of Honest Citizens?

some time ago I began the use Of your. Swamp-Ro with the most re- markable results. For years was almost a wreck and was a great suf- ferer. I was so bad at times I would faint away and had sinking spells. Finally a new doctor was called in and he said that I had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of which I took several bottles. I obtained some relief from this but I was getting weaker all the time;I could not sleep and suffered so much pain that my husband and children had to lift me Tn and out of bed. After this time two friends sent me word to try swamp Root, which I did, and I am glad to state that the first dose gave me great relief. After taking the third dose I was helped into bed and slept half of the night.
 l took several bottles of Swamp Root and I feel that I owe my life to this wonderful remedy. The two family doctors said that I could not live three months. I would have to be helped in and out of bed ten to twenty times every night. After talk ing Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root for two days I was entirely free from getting up and could sleep soundly.

 The Roller Skating Craze.
 Considerable time was given at the regular meeting of the board of pulp lie safety last night to a discussion of complaints regarding roller skating in the streets. One of the complaints came from Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski regarding the craze as it is known on Broad and Gold streets. He said the church property is damaged by the skating. Similar complaints came from residents on Dewey street, Hart. ford avenue, Smalley and neighboring streets, Woodland and Fairview streets.
 Chairman filling reported that the corporation council has given an opinion that nothing can be done until an ordinance restricting the practice is passed by the common council. He suggested that the matter be referred to the common council. Commission CT Meehan remarked that he had no fault to find with the practice. Mr. filling answered, it is becoming a nui- sance and a problem that should be dealt with.
 Commissioner Healey suggested that the. area for roller skating be re- Stricted in some way and also that the board draft its own ordinance.
 Commissioner Healey moved that the matter be tabled for the further consideration of committee to in vestigate, and, if it thinks advisable. prepare draft for presentation at the next meeting.
 Commissioner filling said that in his opinion children should not be allowed to skate on the streets in the crowded section of the city.
 MT. Healey's motion provided that the committee consist of two mem bers. one of whom was to be the chairman. Commissioner Holmes was the other member appointed.
 A petition for the installation of fire box at Glen and Locust streets was referred to the chairman and the chief.

 A petition signed by a number of property owners was received from Nair Brothers for the regulation of Landers playground on Winter street and was supported by statement from Judge F. B.

 Comparative Costs.
 Chief Dame recommended more permanent men and the replacing of the norse-drawn apparatus with motor propelled as fast as possible. The cost of the automobiles during the year was $291.73 and the horses cost $1.200. This includes repairs to the autos. The autom obilc also gives the department the use of another man, which means a saving of S950 a year for each automobile installed.
 The department answered 236 alarms during the year. Hose streams were used on tifty-f1ve of these fires and seventy-seven were put out by chemicals. e @#r
