action in efforts to relieve farm
conditions both in regard to plac-
Ing tariff on wheat and -four and
In perfecting plans to give more
extensive credits to foreign buyers,
resulted in heavy buying of wheat
both for lopg and short account
today. Shorts had difficulty in COW
ering. owing to the light offerings,
and the market advanced irregu-
larly all through the session, high
est prices being witnessed in the
last half hour.
Final wheat prices were 7as%
higher. Other grains also displayed
strength, buying being stimulated
by the possibility |of a greater ex-
port demand in the event credit is
given Europe. Corn was l%a3Ac
higher, and oats gained / u a2Ac.
Rye was Az a7c higher, and bar
ley 4a4%c up.
In addition to the news OF a polit-
ical character, the wheat market
was bolstered by the Inauguration
by farm associations of a movement
to start individual buying of -four
The move had considerable marker
effect.
December corn was bought heav-
lily by shorts and also by several
leading commission and cash houses,
who sold May against 1t. The re-
suit was narrowing of the spxead
between the two months. Best
prices were near the end of the
session and the market was az
fected by the same general news
as that which lifted wheat prices.

MEMS CLUB.

The Mems Club of Trinity Church
held their monthly meeting at the
Guild Hall last Wednesday evening.
There were about 80 members present
who listened to most interesting dis
cussion and explanation of the district
coming system of Sherwood by Attor-
ney George Gabel of Milwaukee, who
is resident of that suburb. Mr.. Gabel
explained the law from A to z. He
was asked a number of questions by
different members which he answered
to the satisfaction of all. A number
of committees made reports, and let
ter from Mayor Koenig in regard to
the negro colony, which has been
spoken of as locating in Wauwatosa,
which informed the club that a number
of gentlemen had made a visit to the
colored people in Milwaukee and laid
the matter before them in a friendly
and proper light and informed that
they were not desired in Wauwatosa.
After careful consideration by the
head of the colony, it was decided that
the plan would be abandoned and that
a location would be sought elsewhere.
The supper furnished by the ladies
was good and all present spent most
enjoyable evening.

Flensburg, Feb. 24-As the day for

SchIeswig approaches German agita-
ton is becoming more and more
marked. On several occasions the Ger
mans have tried TO intinldate the pro-
Danish chief of police by posting proc
lamations on his house threatening his
life. German newspapers, ministers
and teachers are the chief agitators,
aud apparently they are trying to stir
the people TO disobedience of the laws
and the regulations laid down by the
international commission.
Recently pro-German newspaper.
the Flensburger Tageblatt, published
a violent attack on the commission
and that body has decided to suppress
II for the next week or so. The other
pro-German paper, the Flensburger
Nachrichten, will also be suppressed
and orders have been given to the
chief German agitator, Doctor Muss,
and two teachers to leave the pleb-

up self-satistied New York city. When
+. ID. Underwood, president of the
Erie railroad and residing in Wauwa-

refusal to get off a ferry boat, ION
which he had return ticket, to COM
ply with ruling by the boat company
that passengers get off at the other
end and then get back whether they
held a return trip ticket or not, he won
the admiration of the New York press.
But the newspapers thought that when
the magistrate let him off with a sus-
pended sentence Mr.. Underwood
would let the matter drop. Not so.
Mr.. Underwood appealed to the coun-
ty court, and won. Which leads The
| World to remark editorially: ITO the
public the important fact is that Mr..
| Underwood has shown himself willing
to take trouble in upholding what he
believes to be right He said he
would see the case through, and he is
keeping his word
