GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, 212 Union National Bank ; Building. v- CHICAGO, Sept. 28. Further signs today that the recent record hot early summer abroad carried exporters to over-purchased TJ. S. wheat and, corn. Meantime freights have dropped, and much of the large U. S. July and August exports are in process of digestion. These losses abroad mean rreater care In the future and marks lit 73 represent a new low. United States exports of wheat and corn during September are very light. Corn demand poor, and while corn visible may decrease this week supplies are ample and bears predict a heavy winter movement. Overnight a general rally is due but sentiment renlains flabby as to permanent bulges. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. Wagner & CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO. Sept. 28.

my slyn went cold at the words, which j chance of my lifetime in that direcwere slowly uttered in a tone of con-i tion. See here!" He took a neat

centrated resolution. As a flash Of lightning in the night shows up in an instant every detail of a wild landscape, so at one glance I seemed to see every possible result of such an action the detection, the capture, the honored career ending in irreparable failure and disgrace, my friend himself lying at the mercy of the odious Milverton. "For Heaven's sake, Holmes, think what you are doing," I cried. "My dear fellow, I have given it every consideration. I am never precipitate in my actions, nor would I adopt so energetic and indeed, so dangerous a course, if any other were possible. Let us look at the matter clearly and fairly. I suppose that you will admit that the action is morally justifiable, though technically criminal. To burgle his house is no more than to forcibly take his pocketbook an action in which you were prepared to aid me." I turned it over in my mind. "Yes," I said, "it is morally justifiable so long as our object is to take no articles save those which are used for an illegal purpose." "Exactly. Since it is morally justifiable. I have only to consider the question of personal risk. Surely a! gentleman should not lay much stress upon this, when a lady is in most desperate need of his help?" "You will be in such a false position." "Well, that is part of the risk. There is no other possible way of regaining these letters. The unfortunate lady has not the money, and there are none of her people in whom she could confide. Tomorrow is the last day of grace, and unless we can get the letters tonight, this villain will be as good as his word and will bring about her ruin. I must, therefore, abandon my client to her fate or I must play this last card. Between ourselves, Watson, it's a sporting duel between this fellow Milverton and me. He had, as you say, the best of the first exchanges, but my self-respect and my reputation are concerned to fight it to a finish." "Well. I don't like it, but I suppose it must be," said I. "When do we start." "You are not coming." "Then you are not going," said I. "I give you my word of honor and I never broke it in my life that I will take a cab straight to the police-station and give you away, unless you let me share this adventure with you." "You can't help me." "How do you know that? You can't tell what may happen. Anyway, my resolution is taken. Other people beside you have self-respect, and even reputations." Holmes had looked annoyed, but Ms brow cleared, and he clapped me on the shoulder. "Well, well, my dear fellow, be it so. You know, Watson, I don't mind confessing to you that I have always had U. S.

an idea that I would have made a highly efficient criminal. This is the little leather case out of a drawer, and opening it he exhibited a number of shining instruments. "This is a firstclass, up-to-date burgling kit, with nickel-plated jimmy, diamond-tipped glass-cutter, adaptable keys, and every modern improvement which the march of civilization demands. Here, too, is my dark lantern. Everything is in order. Have you a pair of silent shoes?" "I have rubber-soled tennis shoes." "Excellent! And a mask?" "I can make a couple out of black silk.". "I can see that you have a strong, natural turn for this sort of thing. Very good, do you make the masks. We shall have some cold supper before we start. It is now nine-thirty. At eleven we shall drive as far as Church Row. It is a quarter of an hour's walk from there to Appledore Towers. Wre shall be at work before midnight. Milverton is a heavy sleep-

by two, with the Lady Eva's letters in my pocKet. Holmes and I put on our dressclothes, so that we might appear to be two theatre-goers homeward bound. In Oxford Street we picked up a hansom and drove to an address in Hampstead. Here we paid off our cab, and with our great coats buttoned up, for it was bitterly cold and the wind seemed to blow through us, we walked along the edge of the heath. "It's a business that needs delicate treatment," said Holmes. "These documents are contained in a safe in the fellow's study, and the study is the ante-room of his bed-chamber. On the other hand, like all these stout, little men who do themselves well, he is a plethoric sleeper. Agatha that's my fiancee says it is a joke in the servants' hall that it's impossible to wake the master. He has a secretary who is devoted to his interests, and never budges from the study all day. That s why we are going at night. Then he has a beast of a dog which roams the garden. I met Agatha late the last two evenings, and she locks the brute up so as to give me a clear run. This is the house, this big one in its own grounds. Through the gate now to the right among the laurels. We might put on our masks here, I think. You see, there is not a glim mer of light in any of the windows, and everything is working splendidly." With our black silk face-coverings, which turned us into two of the most truculent figures in London, we stole up to the silent, gloomy house. A sort of tiled veranda extended along one side of it, lined by several windows and two doors. "That's his bedroom," Holmes whispered. "This door opens straight into the study. It would suit us best, but it is bolted as well a3 locked, and we should make too much noise getting in. Come round here. There's a greenhouse which opens into the drawing-room." .

Mundhenk, who joined them and ministered to Wentzel while en route to Dayton. When a few miles from Dayton one of the tires on the machine blew out and within a few minutes a car going from Dayton, bearing Deputy Sheriff Thompson and Paul Ackerman, of the Montgomery County Auto club, who en route to the scene of the shooting, passed and were stopped. Brought to Dayton Wenzel was transferred to the sheriffs car and taken to Dayton, where he was taken directly to a hospital. Immediately after the shooting a meager description of the bandit was obtained from Wenzel. and messages were dispatched to all parts of Ohio in an effort to apprehend the shooter. Early yesterday evening. Marshal B. B. Graham, Franklin, told police that shortly after 5 o'clock the station agent of the Cincinnati and Northern railroad at Franklin had noticed a young man answering the description of the bandit leave a freight train there and walk down the track. As soon as the train started it was said the man again boarded it. Cities further south on the line were notified, but the bandit has succeeded in eluding his pursuers. The bandit was described by Wenzel as being about 20 years of age, tall, slender, dressed in either a dark blue or dark brown suit, wearing a light cap and a light shirt. Wenzel said he used an automatic pistol, and hospital physicians say the bullet was apparently .45 calibre.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Farm bureau folks report that farmers have been liberal buyers of fertilizer this year, and that most all of it has been received and is now unloaded. This would indicate that despite the chinch and the Hessian fly the average farmer will sow wheat, as usual; if not in as large an acreage, he will still arrange for a "ready money," crop, so far as the sowing is concerned. Some of the largest and most shapely ears of white corn seen for many a day, are displayed in a Main street store window. At this time of year one may find an agricultural display of some sort in many of the banking rooms, and in store windows, not only in the villages but very frequently in bank and store windows in the larger cities. We recall the adorning of one of the mammoth windows of a State Street store in Chicago, one autumn, which attracted large enough crowds to blockade the sidewalk fronting it. The background, painted in, was of a homey farm scene, with grains, fruits and vegetables artistically blending into the picture, making an harmonious whole. So great was the attraction of this window that two policemen were required to keep the crowds in line and moving during the daylight hours. The effect was still more striking during the brilliant illumination in evening hours. The Eaton Fair. All fairs are country institutions and as such are of particular interest to farmers. The Eaton fair now showing its attractions, is the latest of all county fairs in this vicinity. It is your last chance, brother farmer, to take a day off and see a real agricultural show within easy driving distance. Take the family and go. Very few Preble farm families, or Eatonians, will miss seeing the Preble county fair. Wayne, Union, Randolph and Henry county folks will be equally welcome, and many from each of these counties always attend. The lovers of fine live stock, of j choice agricultural exhibits, and those who enjoy a good "hoss race," will have their tastes gratified at Eaton this week. Now In Full Blast "Just what "full blast" means Is up to you to explain. It is a term much in vogue in advertising closing out sales, as you know, also occasionally used in other connections. But what we wanted to say and are going to say. Is this: The treating plant atj Centerville is now running full blast, or up U capacity. The number of men who want their seed wheat treated is on the increase. Men who did not file their applications up to the limit of the time set for this action have experienced a change of heart, as one farmer puts it, and are wanting in on it. But so many are already on the list, and the time for sowing is so closely at hand, that it is doubtful that but few, if any, of the late comers can now be accommodated. Pumpkins are Cheap. Think of it gentlemen; just think of it you lovers of Pumpkin pie. Think of pumpkins selling at but $3 per dozen at Indianapolis, with mighty few moving at that. One dozen goodsized pumpkins should weigh about as much as a wagon load of coal, and all for $3, mark you. But wait until cold weather, pumpkin pie weather; Just you wait. Complain of Earworms. Blackford county farmers say that continued rains, with warm weather, has resulted in some damage to Corn from earworms, which normal ripening weather usually prevents.

ntl. Fbatu senvicr Inc. the drouth a fair corn crop was grown in Blackford. Army Worm Attack Alfalfa. Alfalfa in Lincoln township, Laporte county, is being attacked by the fall army worm. Bedford also reports this pest, these being the only two spots where its appearance has yet been noted. Purdue has broadcasted, a warning to county agents to be on watch for this pest and to immediately report its discovery. To Defer Sowing Wheat. Experiments now being conducted by agents of the department of agriculture on the activities of the Hessian fly in Shelby county Indicate that wheat sowing should be deferred beyond October 2, the date set as being safe. The recent rains have checked the activities of the fly to some extent," says county agent East, "and eggs are not being deposited as abundantly as they were a few days ago. It is evident however, that the adult flies will be at work later than was at first anticipated." Wheat Market Features, The market editor of the Chicago Tribune sheds a little light on the wheat marketing situation, as follows: "Theories of prospective scarcity of wheat encourages large buying by professional traders who believe in higher prices later in the year. For the present the general public does not realize that there is to be a scarcity before another crop is raised and are not backing the professional traders in tneir efforts to lift prices to a higher level where the farming community will be greatly benefited. "Until they become convinced that there is no surplus of wheat in the United States, and very little the world over, a big. broad advancing market is not to be expected. It Is likely to come later in the season, and professionals are carrying fair lines of wheat futures and millers are loading up as they are having a good export trade. Farmers Buy Futures. "A feature in the wheat trade that has escaped notice is the liberal holdings of futures in the southwest by farmers who sold their wheat to pay their indebtedness to banks and merchants and who have taken their little surplus and bought futures at Kansas City. There have been millions of bushels of wheat taken off the market in this way. and considerable also has been bought by northwestern farmers in Minneapolis. These holdings, com bined with those of speculators, have an influence on the market, and if held for a considerable time are likely to exert a decided strengthening influence."
