Worlds Market NeluS
WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISION.

Chicago, June 29.-Crop damage
both in the plains states and east Of
Chicago together with further menace
from a new hot wave brought about a
big jump in corr prices this week
Notwithstanding a temporary setback
due to the stunning character of the
week ago the market this morning
was up 4 1-8 to 6 Sac a bushel. Net
changes in oats varied from $3.50 de-
line to lie advance. Provisions rose
SIC to $1.10.
Indiana, Michigan and Ohio frost
reports gave the initial. upward i'm
petus to the corn market, but as the
magnitude Of the Austrian reverse be-
came more and more evident the
bears plunged heavily in selling. Then
came government advices showing
actual damage from the frosts east
of Chicago and simultaneously that
the dry hot weather on the plains had
also caused harm. Unexpected con-
tinuance of evere heat in the south
west kept the market on the ascent
during succeeding days, especially as
further adverse crop news developed,
with abnormal heat threatening to
spread and with anxiety prevalent as
to the smallness of the corn supply
available for delivery in July.
Hedging sales and the slowness OF
eastern demand made oats relatively
weak.
Provisions went upgrade owing to
government buying and the strength
of corn and hogs.

George W. Whiting, of 390 Boston avenue, reported to the police this morning that he was held up, black jacked and robbed while on his way to his home last Saturday night, near the corner of Noble avenue and Hunt ington road.
 He was knocked senseleSs by a blow of some blunt instrument on the head and then, was either kicked or hit with something else in the ribs when he fell.
 According to the statement he made to the police his watch, about $7 in money and all his papers were taken by the thieves. He said it was i'm possible for him to give even the faintest description of the meN be- cause they attacked him from behind and he was unconscious while they were going through his clothes.

 When night fell over the partly ruined towns of Hemet and San Ja- cfnto order had been restored and organizations of home guards patroll- ed the streets. Four blocks of San Jacinto's business district were wrecked and one block in Hemet. Three distinct shocks were felt in San Jacinto. The first threw to the ground several persons and horses. At the second shock all the buildings on the south side of the main street began to collapse and the third shock brought down those on the north side
 Electricity failed immediately and within 10 minutes the breaking of the gas mains made it necessary to shut off the supply. The water mains were not much damage.
 One of the freaks of the earth quake was the sudden flows in wells. Many artesian wells, dry for years, showed a sudden free supply of wa ter. This sudden increase of water manifested itself particularly in the San Jacinto river. Before the earth quake it was dry. Immediately after the tremor the river at a. point below the town showed a flow of 12 inches in depth and 40 feet wide.
 The earthquake of yesterday was almost a repetition of that of Christ mas day, 1899, when the two towns suffered shocks of like severity.
 Fear was expressed in Los Angeles that several large office buildings had been thrown out of plumb. A survey will have to be made The Washing ton building, a large business struc- ture, was perceptibly separated from the Currier building, immediately ad- joining.
 The earthquake was felt over large territory in the west. Tremors were felt in Arizona and Utah.

 ''We are aware that our enemy pro- fesses to go forward with God, but such claim is either cant or cam outage, deserving the rebuke of the Master, who said, Why call ye Me lord, and do not the things which l say.' The Christ of the Gospel, Who has glorif1ed all the Christian centur- ies, is not their God. The convinc- ing evidences are too numerous and obvious to need recital. By their fruits ye shall know them. Ger many has corrupted the God of the Gospel with false philosophies, hypoc- ricies and unchristian ambitions, sub stituting the worship of might for right, and hate for love. For what ever is put first by person or nation. and whatever commands their life and substance is their God; and men become like what they worship. We know what the German God is like, with the kaiser as His prophet"
