WHEAT CRASHES AGAIN: — On January 28, of this year, wheat reached a quotation of $2.05 a bushel in Chicago grain pits, the highest since the war. Yesterday the lowest quotation was $1.51 on the board. That is a discrepancy of 54 cents be tween the peak and the bottom withir a iHTiist of little more than six weeks The low macks a discrepancy of 35 cents between the highest point o' last week and yesterday’s minimum other, grains have performed com mensurately in sympathy. There are several aspects of the sensational -collapse of grain prices during recent weeks. One of then relates to the bulge itself which be gun late in the summer. Another re lates to the deflation which has proceeded with more or less consistency during the last mouth. Yet anothei touches the producer of wheat. Stil another touches the consumer of wheat The most immediate and acute phase lias hearing upon the trader in wheat What has happened to him? Th; farmer's wheat is pretty well out o! hand by this time, and the rise an< fall of that grain doesn't so greatly concern him now. But if the present market is prospecting the price foi next summer's harvest, it concerns him very much, though wheat going at a dollar and a half, or thereabouts, compares well with what it was go ing at a year go. Liverpool took the bottom out of the market and in Chicago and Win liipeg, the two great American grain centers, the market went to pieces at the openeing of trading yesterday morning. As we remarked a few days since, it will be interesting, if ever found out, why wheat marched se steadily upward for a few months ant why it has f allen in crashing markets as wheat has become scarcer.—For Wayne .1 ourn a 1-Gai.td te.

We want good roads but we don't want them so fast that we can't pay for them and taxes arc beconi hie a real burden.

Shepherd, clubman, well known about Chicago, heir to the millions left by twenty-one year old William Nelson McClintock, who died several months ago and Dr. Charles C. I'aiman, president of the National University of Science of Chicago have been indicted for the murder of the youth. Falman has confessed that they gave him typhoid microbes Shepherd inherited the money and gave Faimau slol).6<)ti for furnishing the germs. The case will prove a close second to the I oeb and Leopold case for public interest as the greatest criminal lawyers in the west will participate.

He was one of the most widely loved men in the state and was popular not only in his church but out of it for lie was a really good man who devoted bis life to helping mid cheering others.
