MARKETS

MARKET SHOWS , FRESH STRENGTH

(By Associated fress.) CHICAGO, June 28. Fresh strength developed in the corn market today largely as a result of continued dry weather In the Southwest. The fact that arrivals here were not liberal, tended further to make traders uneasy over possible difficulties in regard to deliveries on July contracts. Offerings were readily absorbed. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to higher with July 146 to 147, and August 149 to 149, were followed by decided gains all around, and then something of a reaction. Oats reflected the strength of corn. Most of the business was local. After opening a shade to M higher with

August 68 to 6.8, the market scores a moderate additional upturn. Provisions advanced with corn and hogs. It v.as sail government orders for lard were in sight.

STORM CAUSES LITTLE DAMAGE TO CROPS HERE

Rain Will Be of Benefit to Corn Wheat Crop Will Not Suffer. -Tho heavy rain and wind storm Thursday night did not materially damage the crops in Wayne county according to, J. C. Kline, county agriculture agent .though there was some damage in other parts of the state. Presidents of some of the township registered men's clubs reported to Mr. Kline Friday morning that the wind levelled the wheat and corn, but that it was not thought there would be any loss to the grain yield. The wheat stalks will undoubtedly come out straight again after they are dry, the county agent said, and the corn will develop as the stand was not high enough to break the stalks. At a matter of fact, Mr. Kline said, the rain was of considerable benefit to the corn crop this week, following in the wake of the frost last Saturday night which nipped the blades and part of the stalks in many of the fields that happen to lie in the lower farmlands. Wheat that was sut while it was still green may suffer to some extent, as the moisture is likely to cause the stalk to get mouldy or sprout. This can be stopped, Mr. Kline said, if the farmers will remove the caps and let the sunlight get into the grain. It is also advisable to spread the stalks anart in the shock in order that they

j can thoroughly dry. Ripe wheat that

has already been gathered did not suffer at all as a result of the wind and rain. Several more fields of wheat to be used for seed next spring was selected by the county agent and S. W. Taylor, of the United States department of agriculture, in a tour of inspection in the northern part of the county Thursday afternoon and Friday. Frost Caused Damage. A report was received at the county agent's office from Purdue University Friday morning in which the total damage from the frost last Saturday night was estimated at $10,000,000 in Indiana. Of this amount about $8,000,000 damage was suffered by corn alnnp. mnro than 125.000 acrPR beinc

I tatolly destroyed. Most of this loss j was suffered in the northern part of

the state where thousands of acres of corn was nipped at the base of the stalk and the total product in hundreds of fields entirely destroyed. Garden truck suffered a damage of about $2,000,000, the agriculture experiment station at Purdue reported. J. C. Kline, the county agent, received a letter from his father, James Kline, Thursday, stating that he had lost 50 acres of corn as a result of the frost Mr. Kline's farm is located in La Grange county and he said in his letter that his garden truck was also entirely destroyed. Considerable of the corn crop, which had been ramaged to some extent by the frost, was saved, however, by the heavy fall of rain Thursday night. The rain was general throughout the state. Near Lafayette, Fort Wayne and South Bend, the storm Is reported to have assumed cyclonic proportions, and though the corn, wheat, oats and alfalfa was levelled to the ground it is not thought that any serious loss wil lresult. Near Lafayette, however, there was a considerable loss as a heavy hail storm came with the wind and rain, and the blades were stripped fro nithe corn, and in many cases the stalks were cut to pieces.

POISON EVIDENCE DAMAGES DEFENSE

WINCHESTER, Ind., June 28. Damaging testimony was introduced by the state late Thursday afternoon in the case of Derilus Trout, charged with first degree murder, when J. R. Dunweedy, city chemist of Indianapolis, told on the stand of finding traces of strychnine in the stomach and Intestinal organs of Charles Milholland. Trout is charged with having murdered Milholland by giving him medicine which contained strychnine. The body was exhumed by officials about a month after Milholland's death, and the stomach and intestinal organs sent to Dunweedy for examination. The chemist's report led to the arrest of Trout. Robbery is said to have been the motive. The defense endeavored to break down Dunweedy's evidence but the effort was not very successful. He was able to prove that he had made a thoroughly scientific test. Earl Jackson and Charles Wyatt, both of Gaston, Ind., where the tragedy occurred, were called to the stand by the state and both testified to seeing Trout leave Milholland's home, or at least coming from that direction, on the night of the killing. Other witnesses present with Milholland before his death, were permitted to take the stand and testify as to Milholland's dying statement, in which he accused Trout of having poisoned him. The objections of the defense to the introduction of this testimony were all overruled. Trout's wife, son and daughter sat with the accused man throughout the day. .

There was great political unrest in Poland last February after the central powers and the Ukraine had signed their peace treaty providing for the annexation of the district of Cholm by the Ukraine, and while the Russo-German peace was being completed. The Polish ministry at Warsaw resigned as a protest and there were strik outbreaks throughout Russian Poland and part of Galacia. Meanwhile, the Polish legion in the Russian army under General Mousnitsky took up arms against the Bolshevik! when the latter attempted to compel the Polish command to submit to their orders. There was bitter fighting for several days between the Poles and the Bolsheviki. but by the latter part of February the Polish legion had been broken up. By that time also the unrest in Poland had died down, but it flamed up again later in a series of strikes in Russian Poland, particularly in the Dombrova coal fields.
