Local Yards Clean. As no stock from any other market has been unloaded at the Glen Miller yards since the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease seven months ago, Mr. Shurley said the diseased hogs found in the shipment received in Pittsburg recently did not come from Wayne county. Mr. Shurley believes the farmers of Wayne county have no cause to fear that the investigation will disclose this county as the shipping point of the infected stock. Lawrence Mitchell delivered 36 head of the finest hogs that have been received at the market recently. They averaged 300 pounds and brought Mitchell $736. Twenty-four hogs delivered by Oscar Lamb from the Ed Deitemeyer farm weighed eight thousand pounds and brought $6.65 per hundred. E. S.

LIVE STOCK SWAMPS YARDS AT CHICAGO 1,400 Cars Arrive But Stock Held Until Eastern - Embargo. Lifted. BY LEASED WIRE. , CHICAGO, Feb. 8. The quarantine clapped on the big eastern stock yards by the federal govefnment Saturday played havoc with business at the Union Stock Yards today. The lifting of the embargo on outshipments here had been anticipated and hundreds of farmers shipped, timed their stock to arrive Sunday and today for sale and reshipment east. The stock arrived on time, more than 1,400 cars of it, but the closing of the eastern yards left no market. There were in the yards here today 13,000 cattle, 42,000 hogs and 12,000 sheep, not intended for sdlaughter, which must be shipped back to the owners in the west or held as "feeders" in the yards until the government sees fit to lift the quarantine in the east. The most of the stock was to have been shipped to Pittsburg and Philadelphia. There is more of it on trains today, but just how much was not known.

RECKLESS SPECULATION IN WHEAT FORECASTS AWFUL STAMPEDE Chicago Board of Trade Advises Public to Stay Out of Mark- . et -Commission Houses Try to Check Trading, but to No AvailWild Buying of Futures and Cash Wheat Purchases Responsible.

BY LEASED WIRE.1 CHICAGO, Feb. 8. Traders on the Board of Trade today were Inclined to proceed i with more caution than for some time, despite the excited condition of the market. From all sides came warnings that the reckless speculative support that had been, in evidence so long, must be curbed if disaster was not to be felt. Prices of nearly , all commodities have advanced 100 per cent since last summer and In Chicago are relatively higher than in any other market. This condition, it was admitted by some, had been brought about through the wild buying of futures by the public and of cash wheat by the foreigners. The short interest in the market has practically been eliminated and the market is therefore left in a position where a general move to take profits might cause a disastrous business accident. Stampede Possible. Such a break, it is frankly admitted, would cause serious losses on those who have entered the market lately. Many who have reinvested their profits in larger takings of wheat and corn were said to be in a position where news of peace from Europe or a check to exports from the United States, might easily create a stampede among Bulletins on

halders and send prices down sharply. "The market is essentially a war market, subject to wilk fluctuations. It is a remarkable fact that commission houses are now asking 30 cents a bushel on new business in May wheat in an effort to chack trading, but it has had little effect. Such a margin means that $300 must be put up at the start on-1,000 bushels. Concensus of opinion on the board of trade today was simmarized in five words, "Stay out of the market." -Foreigners Buy Wheat. As to the buying of cash wheat by foreigners, District Attorney Clyne said he had received information that two mysterious buyers in the market the past week had been identified as representing the Italian and Swedish governments. Italy obtained a big supply of wheat several days ago and was reported to be wanting more. A representative of the Swedish government in New York who has agents in Chicago and other cities, has been instructed, according to Mr. Clyne's information, to secure all the wheat he can get. In addition to this, German's blockade of British and Dutch waters and certain parts of the North Sea is also figuring in the purchase of more cereals.

ITALIAN STABS

(Continued from page 1.) by a fellow boarder, Frank Salazzo, the police were Informed, and was hotly denied by Lapenna. Then Camarco asserted that Salazzo spoke the truth, whereupon Lapenna struck Camarco. Then Balaghio, the landlord, to preserve the peace, ejected Camarco by force. As Camarco made his exit ' he yelled, "I'll come back and getta you guys," which provoked a sally of contemptuous laughter. Soon he did come back, on the pretext of securing some of his belonging. As he entered the room Lapenna was standing with his back toward him, warming himself before a stove. Suddenly Camarco drew a knife. It flashed and then sunk to its hilt in the neck of Lapenna. Camarco fled at once. It was thought at first that he was making for the Ohio line by a route leading northeast out of the city, but he was seen later on the National road near Marmon's switch, headed south. Farmers in that section of the country and constables in all the small towns were promptly notified. Tom Moran, president of the Horse Thief Detective association, notified all ot his sleuths and they played an active part in locating the fugitive. Walks Toward Boston. They Anally reported to the police that Camarco had been seen walking toward Boston. Sunday morning, arter this report had been received, Officer Vogelsong telephoned to the hotel keeper at Boston asking him to look for Camarco. A few minutes later he telephoned that he had seen the man board a southbound train at the Boston station. Orders reached the conductor at Kitchell to keep an eye on Camarco until a Cincinnati officer took charge of him. The arrest was made at Brighton. Mike Lapenna, a brother of Antonio, about three years ago shot his cousin, Tony Lapenna, to death, at the fence factory in West Richmond. They had a quarrel over a woman. A few weeks ago Mike Lapenna was killed when he was almost decapitated at Cleveland by another Italian, who said Mike was a "black hand" agent. Officer Vogelsong, who returned today from Cincinnati with Camarco, says the man admits his crime, asserting that he knifed Lapenna because the latter struck him in the face.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is upre and entirely reaselessi, is much Lf-er than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teapsooiifuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easil, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
