TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

i Chicago. Oct. 1o.-CoRN-Sharp breaks
in the values Of grain and provisions re-
suited today from peace talk and from I'M
certainty as to the extent of price reduc-
tons which might result from new move
ments regarding food control. Pork, espe-
cially, was weak and dropped more than
81 80 a barrel. Free selling which char
acterized the corn market came chiefly
from commission houses. The peace gossip
that acted as bearish factor related in
the main to a conference reported to be
held soon in Sofia to consider what terms
the Teutonic allies would offer. Opening
prices which ranged from nc to 1Hc lower
at $117A to $11s December and $113 to
$114 May, were followed by important
further declines.

MONEY IS PLENTIFUL.

The condition of the two Hick-
man banks is a clear index to
the financial condition of this
section of country. The state
ments as published this week show
tnere has scarcely been a time in
their history when prosperity was
more clearly reflected in their
statements than is the case at
present. The combined deposits
amount to $452 ,511--almost half
million dollars - and are contin-
ually increasing.
A thing worthy of note is the
TACT that people are learning the
value of bank account. Proba-
Oily no one firm In Hickman deals
with more people than the Cou-
rler, and we've noticed a grad
ual increase in the past two years

Few years ago very few people

Is commendable.

Dr. Guillotin was thrown into prison because he protested against the mad excesses of the reign of terror, but he was re- leased following the death of Robes pierre, and thereafter practiced his profession until his death in 1914.
 While Dr. Antoine Louis suggested the general plan of the guil1otine, the details were worked out by German mechanic named Schmidt, who offer ed to build the machine at a price of 500 francs each, the government car penter having demanded 5000 francs Schmidt constructed eighty-three gJ1illotines, one for each department of France. The machine was first tried upon three corpses, and worked so satisfactorily that soon after it was used publicly for the decapitation ot Pelletier, highwayman. Some sur geons denounced the guillotine as too rapid in it's operation, holding thai sensation does not cease immediately after the head of the sufferer has ern science has given the seal of ap- proval to the guillotine as painless method of inflicting the death pen atty.
