Markets
GRAIN PRICES

(Markets by K. r. Leland & Company.
212 Union Bank Buildiag.)
CHICAGO, March Wheat was
nervous and unsettled all day with
the trend lower. The market opened
about 21a under previous close. Liver
pool opened higher. Later Liverpool
came lower followed by lower open
ing at B. A. and this started selling
and prices dropped to new low for
the day. The big decline in Liverpool
Is the result of total sales OF liver
pool wheat as reported late by Broom
Tall 1,280,000 bushels although there
was considerable wheat worked for ex-
port over night there was little today.
Outside markets were firmer than
Chicago, Minneapolis gaining on our
market crop report from the south
vest continued favorable. Market
two sided.
Corn was unsettled and averaged
slightly lower than yesterday although
price ranges were not wide. Pressure
vas in evidence. There was a fair ex-
port business. Sales 100000 was re-
ported. Cash prices steady to 1 high
er. Corn is unchanged.
Oats were steadier than either
wheat or corn today. There was good
commission house buying. Selling was
by longs and locals the latter part of
session. Cash markets steady to u
higher

of the Eighth Regiment and also for
the Sixty-ninth AS other regiments
were mustered into the service, they
played their farewell for them.
When the Sixty-ninth went to In
dianapolis, just before it was called to
the front in Kentucky, the band ac-
companied it.
When Lincoln passed through In
dianapolis from Springfield, H., to
Washington to take his seat as presi-
dent Of the United States for the first
time, Mitchell's band was invited to
take part in the ovation. They were
hired by Capt. Hartwell's company to
lead them to meet Lincoln when he ar
rived in Indianapolis.
They headed the procession which
escorted Lincoln to the Bates House
where he made an address and greeted
his friends.
Mr.. Newman was very proud to say
that at that time he was accorded the
pleasure of shaking Mr. Lincoln's
hand. He also told of an incident
band was seated at the supper table
and Mr. Lincoln walked in. He asked
if he might sit with the boys at their
tobiC. was OAIy one NdCdut
chair, and that was next to the one on
which Mr.. Newman sat.
Asked Questions.
Mr.. Lincoln asked many questions
of Mr.. Newman and was very anxious
to know how everything was in Rich
mond." The next morning Lincoln
left Indianapolis for the capitol. Mr..
Newman did not see him again until
he was brought back from Washig,
ton after his assassination.
Later in the war, Mitchell became
leader of the band of the Second Indi-
ana Cavalry. Other members entered
the Union forces. After the war. the
band was reorganized under several
different leaders. 1t later came to be
known as the Richmond City band.

Plows were in the fields Of Harry Gill
bert early Tuesday morning also. The
land on both farms lies. in such posi-
ton that it is ready to work earlier
than most, and is also of type that
can be worked before other soil is in

ly in view of Tuesdays weather and

The ordinary method of gathering
sap and hauling it to the boiling

Illinois maple sugar is COM
mencing to compete with the long
famed product Of Vermont. Time
was when the Green Mountain
state boosted of monopoly upon
the production OF this delicately
favored sacchar;ne product, but
the sugar naples Of Illinois are
coming to the front. The demand
for both maple sugar and syrup
is always greater than the sup
ply as the timber acreage is
lessened each year and the guam
tity of sugar is proportionately
reduced. Credit is given to the
Indians for teaching the early
settlers how t. make maple
sugar.

Cough.

Like pan, coughing is a protective
reaction Of the organism, but, again
like pain, it sometimes persists long
after the need for it has passed. Even
when il is performing a useful func-
ton it is often distressing and causes
much discomfort. A cough is an ex-
plosive exploratory effort that, resisted
at first by the closing Of the larynx,
ends noisly when the tension is re-
laxed. AS the current of air is re-
leased it carries with il the mucu. or
dust or whatever irritating object the
cough was meant to remove.
In simple cold in the throat when
the secretion is loose and not too pro-
fuse light cough readily removes it
and thus affords relief. But nature
is not too discriminating, and so any
irritation Of the mucous membrane Of
the air passages may excite a cough !;
in that case we have what we call a
dry cough, which consists Of num-
Der OF violent explosive efforts that
bring up nothing and only exhaust the
patient. Moreover, disturbance in
the stomach, in the liver or in other
parts more or less distant from the
laryIx may send through the nerves a
communication that is misunderstood
at the central station" with the result
that signal is sent out for a cough.
For example, cough rs often excited
by nasal affections, decayed teeth,
adenoids or enlarged tonsils, conges-
ton or inflammation OF the mugs or
their membranous covering, the pleura,
stomach or liver trouble, disease OF the
pelvic organs, or tumors in the throat
or the chest.
The treatment of a cough depends
upon the cause. II cough is doing
good by expe!ling mucus or other secrc-
tons in the larynx or in the trachea,
no attempt should be made to stop it
unless it becomes unnecessarily vio-
lent When cough is dry, and conges-
ton OF the mucus membrane causes it,
remedies should be given to promote
secretion so that the cough will have
something to act upon. When a cough
is reflex the cause must be ascertain
ed and removed. The worst thing to
do is to doctor with cough mixtures,
which often contain powerful habit
forming drugs.
