Handsome Structure.


Pictures of the new station to be
erected here by the Y. & M. V. are
on display at the Business League and
in the window Of the Crull Shoe Store
and are attracting much attention.
The picture shows more clearly the
beauty of the building and gives the
layman a better opportunity to appre-
ciate the lines than could be gathered
from the blue prints heretofore seen
here.
The structure when completed will
be handsomest on the Illinois Central
lines between Memphis and New Or
leans. 1t will cost completed approx
imately forty thousand dollars. The
plans have been changed in a few in
stances from those originally decided
upon but the changes are to add to
the general beauty and usefulness OF
the building.

Wilmington, Del, May 22-(By I'm

of Commerce of this city is seriously
considering a campaign to make
Wilmington one of the important sea-
ports of the country. The south bank
of the Christina River, near its
mouth and the western shore Of the
Delaware River south of the mouth
of the Christiana Is suggested rs the
logical place for beginning water front

Chicago, Ills, Dec. 10-Severe cold
that hampered teaming from farms
and also handicapped the, railways
tended today to make the corn market
average higher. Prices closed UNI
settled, Jan. l.2O% to 1904 and May
1875 the range as a whole varying
from quorter cent off to 70 cent ad-
vance, compared with Saturdays fin
insh. Oats gained ~ to lh cennt
and provisions soc to SOC.
Corn traders gave first attention to
the outlook that continued low tenn
peratures meant considerable slowing
up of the crop movement, and further
more implied an increase OF feeding
demand On the resulting bulge in
prices, however, buying was not of an
aggressive character, and it was
pointed out .bat the prevailing cold
weather was fine for the conditioning
, of corn Something of setback fol-
lowed owing in part. to prospects that
the embargo on shipments to the east
would lead in the near future to
rapid accumulation of stocks here
The fact, though, that offerings were
readily absorbed in the late, dealing
evoked a fresh rally as the session
came to and end. Oats paralleled the
action of corn. The visible supply
total showed a decided falling off on
account of large reductions at sea-
board points.
Scantiness of hog arrivals gave
strength to provisions. Commission
houses purchased to moderate ex-
tent.

PROPHECY RIGHT ON OUR HEELS

In 1856 Rev. M. Baxter, founder of
The Christian Herald, published a
book on the Forty Future Wonders
predicted in Daniel and Revelation,
and in accord with that book of a
half century ago so much of the Bibli-
cal prophecy is fulfilled in our times
that it's mighty interesting.
The first wonder, which is to come
off between the years 1906 and 1919 is
of European wars and revolutions.
European commissions will extend
France to the Rhine and cause "poli-
teal earthquake so mighty and so
great as was not since men were upon
earth" Revelation 16). -.
The second wonder is Revelations
drying up Of the Euphrates," or the
Turco-Mohammedan empire, between
the years 1917 and 1919.
Third wonder, 1917 to 1919: Forma-
ton of the 1O-kingdomed confederacy
by division of all countries of Caesars
original Roman empire. This result
ing from a victorious war of France
against Germany, or revolution in
Germany. Daniel 2 to 81
Jerusalem is to be restored and the
temple rebuilt in 1922 to 1899.
