- 1 ocai WHEAT PRICE GOES UPWARD AT START CHICAGO, Feb. 4. Unexpectedly higher cables and fears of crop damage caused a sharp upturn in wheat prices today. Opening bids were c to lc higher. There was a rush of buying at the start, stimulated by the sharp bulge in the northwest. At one time early wheat was up 2 cents at "Winnipeg. The volume of trade during the first few minutes was only fair. Corn prices were ,c to higher, mainly in sympathy with the strength in the wheat market. Favorable weather conditions caused a quick reaction from the opening prices, and expectations of 'larger receipts were responsible for still further losses. Oats opened e higher on a general rush of buying orders, but the prices did not -hold when local traders stepped in and sold freely. Provisions were higher and trade was light.

SAYS EMPLOYE TOOK 2 HORSES AND LEFT CITY

A. T. Klingenbiel, a cement contractor complaints that a man giving his name as George Wilson, who came to Richmond the first of last month, has departed without notification, taking with him two horses, a surrey, a clos ed rig and four sets of harness, all of which Klingenbiel claims as his prop erty. Klingenbiel says Wilson brought with him to Richmond his wife, a young daughter and a ten months old baby, and all of them are also includ ed in the missing. The little girl was attired in boy's clothing before the family made its exit Wilson gave Klingenbiel a chattel mortgage on the two horses and the surrey. When the time came for payment Wilson could not make a settlement and he "was notified he would have to surrender the property. Instead of doing so he fled from the city. The closed buggy and harness were secured by fraud, Klingenbiel asserts. Wilson had a horse" and rig when he came to Richmond, which he sold while here. . "The family appeared to be poverty stricken while here and I kept them supplied with provisions most of the time," Klingenbiel stated. Wilson is described as dark complexioned, of medium weight and height and has a mole on his face. BLOOD TRANSFUSION TO SAVE GIRL'S LIFE Transfusion of blood to save a vic tim of gas poisoning is the latest ef fort of medical science. Relatives and physicians are anxiously watching to day for signs of a change in the condi tlon of the patient. Miss Meta Schnaars, of Palsidaes Park, N. Y. Miss Schnaars is eighteen years old A week ago she was found in her rocm, unconscious. The girl seemingly is paralyzed. The only nourishment she has been able to take has been liquid given by artificial means. Her blood, it is said, was con gealing. Instead of a warm, leaping life fluid it was slowly turning to a paste. Something had to be done quickly. Transfusion of blood from a healthy man was decided upon. After forty tests the right sort of blood was found and the fortieth man submitted to a loss of a quart of his blood. COLORED G. 0. P.

Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Once upon a time there lived far up in Russia a rich noble in a castle that stood on the side of a mountain overlooking the sea. When one day he went off to the war with his soldiers he called up .the old nurse who had been with him for years and placed the boy in her care. "This is my son and heir," he said as he bent to kiss the child's golden curls. "Take good care of him till my return." Then down the road he and his men went out of sight till the sh'ning armor was lost in the green of the distant forests. But the noble had not been gone long when over the seas there came sailing a fleet of pirate ships. They stormed the castle, and when the walls began to tumble, and the servants fled in fright the good nurse called to the wife of the noble to come with her. "Madam," she said, "I know a secret passage through the bottom of the castle. It opens out among the rocks some way below on the side of the mountain. Come with me. I hear the pirates now rushing at the gate. I hear it clang and fall." With the child in her arms and the wife following, the nurse sped down into the cellar, then out through a long, dark, winding passage. It was V wet and full of bats, but she kept on till they came out in the sunlight some way from the castle. They were by a spring , which bubbled up between the rocks, so they rested and drank the cool water from their hands. Over the spring was a tall, thick cedar tree in its fresh green dress. Its branches were so close together that no one could see the trunk, and the lowest limbs swept the ground, which was carpeted with its brown needles. "Do not fear, madam," said . the nurse. "Climb up this tree. Go as far as you can and I will hand the child up to you then I will follow." Up the tree the mother climbed till she was seated far up in the very top branches close to the trunk and completely hidden by the limbs. The nurse placed the boy in her arms, then followed till she, too, was hidden from sight. Just then the soldiers burst out of the woods. They looked all over the place, behind every rock, but could see RECONCILIATION ENDS THREE DIVORCE SUITS The divorce mill' began its grind again today when one divorce was granted and three cases were dismissed for want of prosecution. Mamie Stanley, alleged that her husband, Roy Stanley, has treated her in a cruel manner and refused to live with her, testified in her own behalf this morning and the divorce was granted without further testimony. Her maiden name, Minnie Minner, was restored to her. . Reconciliation out of court affected three cases which were dismissed on motion of Prosecutor Reller. They were the cases of Bertha Gray against Wilson Gray; Joseph Gard against Emma Gard, and Carrie Waller against Frank Waller.

From their place in the tree the nurse and wife watched the ship till it sank below the skyline into the glow of the sunset in the west. Then they came down and wept for joy over their escape. "How grateful we will ever be to this dear tree," exclaimed the wife as they rose to go, "and how I wish it were in my power to do something to reward it for its help." What was her surprise to see a tiny elf pop up from behind the cedar. "I heard your words," exclaimed he with a smile, "and I saw your escape. I know just what the tree would like, and if you will give me that gold belt from around your waist I will use my magic power to grant its wish." Gladly the wife took off her golden belt and gave it to the elf. "I understand the language of trees," he said, "and I feel sure it says that above all else it would like to stay green all the year around, even when it is cold and snow is on the ground." It happened the very next day the noble returned, for the war had closed sooner than they expected. The castle was rebuilt, the good nurse rewarded, and life went on happily as before. When winter came and the snows covered the land, the noble and his wife walked down to examine the cedar to see if the elf had kept his promise. And he had. For there in the sharp winter sunlight stood the tree as beautiful as ever, green as an emerald, the snow gleaming on the branches, which were as fresh and glossy as they had been in the spring. Thus the cedar got its evergreen coat, and this is the reason that the noble put on his coat-of-arms the picture of a cedar tree. Tomorrow's story, "Greta's Grouchy Goblin." II Is Spelled G-E-T-S--I-T All Reliable Druggists Sell It and Won't Try to Pawn Off Something Else on You. There's no other corn-cure in the world that does the work of "G-E-T-S I-T." "Gets-It" success has made unscrupulous imitators gren with envy, so they try to sell worthless stutf with names that sound like "Gets-It." Don't let them fool you. Why Have Corns At AH When "Gets-It Removes Them the New.Dead-Sure Way? When corns make you almost "die with your boots on," when you've soaked them and picked them and sliced them, when corn-swelling salves, and tapes, bandages, and plasters that. make corns pop-eyed have only made your corns grow faster, just hold your heart a moment and figure this: Put two drops of "Gets-It" on the corn. It dries at once. You can put your shoe and stocking right over it. The corn is doomed. It makes the corn come off clear and clean. It's the newj easy way. Nothing to stick or press on the corn. You can wear smaller shoes. You'll be a joy-walker. No pains, no trouble. Accept no substitutes. " "Gets-It", is sold by druggists everywhere, 25c a bottle, or sent direct by E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago, 111. Sold in Richmond and recommended as the world's best corn remedy by A. G. Luken & Co. and Clem Thistlethwaite. Adv. "

A Bankrupt Sale of Extraordinary Magnitude. . Opening Date Next Wednesday, Feb. 9th. Big Circulars Are Now in Print and Will be on the Street Soon. Circulating Tumors about the future policy of the Standard Merchandise Co., operating a retail department store in Richmond, which has been closed since last December, pending a settlement of its affairs were confirmed today by- the firm's positive announcement that the store is to continue and the stock offered at Bankrupt Sale. The news has created a stir among local business circles but will undoubtedly be welcomed by the thousands of people in Richmond and the vicinity who thus have a rare opportunity offered them. The Standard Merchandise Co. previous to their going into bankruptcy, was a great center for the trading masses of this section aad they gained fame far and wide as a big underselling store, catering to all classes. The business will be continued as. heretofore after the Bankrupt Sale- which opens on next Wednesday. February 9, is brought to a close. Before any definite plans, outside of the fact that the store will continue', can be formulated, the Standard Merchandise Co. must turn their stock into cash to get the necessary settlement money required to compromise their indebtedness. At (he expiration of the Big Bankrupt Sale a general reorganization of the management and future policies will be announced. The Bankrupt Sale will be on the entire stock. Approximately $100,000 worth of merchandise in their three stores will be slaughtered and sold in the shortest possible time, as the concern is bending all efforts and sparing no expense to thoroughly advertise this event and raise the settlement money quickly. Circulars will be sent broadcast by mail and autos and enormous crowds are expected. Vast preparations will be made to accommodate and serve the anticipated crowds. Fifty salespeople will be employed. Important changes in the locality of departments and the general arrangement of the store will be made to properly meet the demand when the sensational Bankrupt Sale opens on next Wednesday, February 9, at 8:30 a. m. It will pay you to read The Palladium daily for further particulars of this great event. Adv. 3 58
