Chica'go, Dec. 31.—Wheat bade the old year good bye with its bull hat cocked on the side of its head and its nose in the air in derision ait the discomfited bears. It closed with a gain of %c after an early decline of %c. Corn and oats did not change their value materially for future deliveries but the cash stuff was weaker. Provisions sold off on increased receipts of hogs.

Wheat was unsettled showing decided weakness early in the session and selling off ^c, but made a sharp reaction later and went up 78c from the-low point, but eased off some. The only weak factor early was the ^Liverpool cable, whicn quoted that market as opening higher but losing all the improvement. May sold from 59% off to 59c, then up to 60c off to 59%c, closing at 59%c.

The business in the speculative department of the com trade was dull but prices were held steady by the firmness of wheat. The cash brar ch of the business was heavy and depressed by the anticipated effect of the adherence to the tariff rates which the railroads are expected to observe from the first of the year. Through blled oar loads were sold from %c to lc under yesterday's rates and local billed was Vic lower. December corn closed %c tower for the day at 25Mc January lost WW Vac and May is unchanged.

The trading in oats futures was moderate only, and mainly in the way of evening up trades previous to the holidays. May moved only 3-16 range from top to bottom, opening at 19c. selling up to 19%c, off to 18?4@19c, and closing at 19@19%c as against. 19c yesterday.

Provisions which advanced yesterday because of the day's run of hogs being smaller than expected, declined today because of being a disappointment of a totally different character. The run of hiotfs reported from the yards this morning was 27,000 head in place of 19,000 as expected. The trade was of the recent moderate volume and without especial significance in the mater of individual operators. Compared with ..yesterday's closing •prices the following declines have occurred: In January t»ork 7^c in May 12V»c January and May lard each 7%c, and iin January and May ribs each 5c.

STOCKS, MONEY AND BONDS.

jlig iiupcndin^ 'Boud Issue Lflrgcly Influ. ences Trading. New York, Dec. 31.—The bond market today was essentially a professional, as was to be expected in view of the closing of the year and the evening up of contracts incidental thereto. The dominating influence was the impending government bond issue concerning which forecast were made somewhat more definite in character than heretofore. They contained, however, but little in the way of novelty. As has been outlined in the dispatches, the issue will be made upon practically similar lines to the loan ot February, 1895. The chief manager is the same £Lnd the price of tho bonds is expected to net the treasury about per cent. The agreement covers the delivery to the treasury of gold from-outside sources equivalent to $100,000,000, with an option on an equal amount. ,.

The all important part about the new deal is that the syndicate does not guarantee to guard the treasury gold reserve. This was the cardinal feature of the previous loan agreement and the faithful performance of the contract by the syndicate afforded a most impressive illustration of its power The confident sentiment that the treasury relief measures would be effective caused the traders to disregard the lower quotations for Americans in Dhe London market and the prices the local market improved sharply. Sugar for instance, gained 1% per cent on reports of advances in the prices of foreign and domestic sugars. In the railway list the advances were greatest in the grangers, Louisville & Nashville first Southwestern stocks, the appreciations ranging from 1 to 2% per cent, the last in Louisville & Nashville.

Money on call was active, ranging between 3 and 35 per cent. No applications for clearing house loan certificates were made by the banks. The market closed strong at the best price of the day.

A drooping tendency characterized the early dealings in bonds but in the final dealings the prices stiffened and in some instances the rallies were material. The dealings for the day amounted to $1,234,000.

Clearings $128,964,358 balances $8,467,0o9. Money on call 3@35 per cent last loan 3: closed easy at 3 per cent.

Yesterday's London Stock Market. New York, Dec. 31.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: A dull opening in stocks here today was succeeded by a steady closing. Messages are said hare pass^I 'he .onial office here and the Transvaal public, the result of which is to dispel the idea of any serious trouble there. American securities left off sightly under last night|s figure as a rule, but Chesapeake & Ohio advanced to 15 and St. Paul to 69%, the,tone at the last being steady. The impression' here is that the bo-nd issue only awaits the sanction of the President Cleveland to be closed. The price is said to be such that it will yield about the same rate of interest as the last loan. Application has been made at the Bank of England relative to the price at which eagles can be purchased, presumably in preparation possible shipments from this side.

OUR BRAINS NEED FUEL.

They Are Composed of Luminous AOluvla and Must Be Fed. Dr. S. Mlllington Miller of New York, a well known writer on physiological psychology, last evening delivered a lecture before the Educational Club at the Normal School on "Miind Building by Sense Development," says the Philadel phia [Ledger. Dr. Miller said, in part that the energizing principle that acts through tihe origans of sense is what is known as life or thought or mentality, whose principle habitation is the brain. A series of experiments recently conducted by Colonel de Rochas, the head oif the Paris Polytechnic School, showed that the human brain is a burning fire, whose luminous effluvium escapes through the eyes, ears, nose and mouth into the surrounding atmosphere, filling the air for a circle of som« fifteen or twenty feet with a mild, hazy light. •By means of hypnotic subjects, it is shown that the effluvium is sentiment, and, if a glass of water is pinched with the fingers, the hypnotized giver of the Light or life conryplains of pain. De Rochas lhas it that life or light is a uniform and stable quantity.

Turning to the senses, the lecturer said the mutual aid society oif the senses is now a well established fact—the blind see with their -fingers, the deaf hear with their eyes, the deaif and dumb and hlind see and feel and hear with their fingers, or, see and hear through their sense of smell.

The meaning of all this is that the vital essence is a uniform quantity, and when any sense is diseased or defective, it throws enough of its power into another sense to enalble it to play a double function. The new education teaches the child hv accustoming him to draw and describe objects .'before him as nearly as possible as they really are. .The fact of having drawn the objects adds still more cells to the group already connected in this description of them. As each impression has its sepafate cell storehouse, and as each storehouse is connected wit'h the others, the recurrence of any -one impression of an Object at any time will bring before the •mind a complete picture of all its qualities by the association of ideas. It was just this kind of education that Daudet gave to 'Guy de 'Maupassant. He set him to describing natural objects, rejecting every composition as inadequate until one was written which came nearest to describing every possible quality of the object, and the result of this education was that iMaupassant was a marvelously brilliant and pictorial writer. The lecture was illustrated by (blackboard sketches of portions of thre 'brain and of the nervous system, to which the Speaker frequently referred.

BOURKE COCKRANWOES.

Tammany Orator, and Not W. W. Astor, to Wed Lady Randolph Churchill, New York, Dec. 30.—The announcement that Wililam Waldorf Astor about to lead to the altar Lady Randolp Churchill has brought out a secret that has been most carefully guarded. Mr. Astor, much as ihe may desire that honor, is snot the gentleman who has captured the heart and hand of one of the finest ladies in Great Britain. Another has had that 'honor, and the announcement of his name will cause the greatest surprise. He is none other than Tammany's former great orator, Mr. W. Bourke Cochran. Only by those bearing 'the very closest relations has it been known that there exists anything beyond a slight 'acquaintance between. Lady ClrureihMl and the star orator of NeiW York. •Mr. Cockran has closely and ardently pressed .his suit, however, and now those who are 'in position to know state that he is soon, to see his wooing end, as Lady Churchill has consigned to his keeping her fyeart and will soon follow it with her ihand.

Mr. Cockran has ibeent a widower a few years and Lady Churchill a widowabout the same legntih of time. Both are extremely wealthy. It is understood that they first met in Washington while Mr. Cockran was to- congress, and that she had her attention caJled to the •brilliant fellow toy one of 'his masterly oratoribal efforts. It .is now believed that all that has occurred within the past couple Of years—Cockran's refusal to again stand for congress, his absolute withdrawal from politics and his frequent visits abroad, lhave all been with one object in view. That o"bject was to give himself up to love's conquest, with Lady Churchill's heart as the one to toe conquered. Even while Dame Rumor is coupling that lady's name with tihat of Mr. Astor, the really successful suitor is not far away from her side in old England'and that voice whitfh (has swayed thousands is now pleading in a most tender cause.

MEETING OF POPULISTS.

Treasurer Morton C. Rankin Says They Are in the Hunt. Some forty or fifty representatives of the Populist party of the state met at English's Hotel today to .talk over the future of the party, says the Indianapolis News. The meeting was not called for any specific purpose. Neither Chairman Butts nor Secretary Cummings had reported this afternoon. Several of those present said the meeting was simply for the purpose of showing the two old parties that the Populist party Is not dead. Secretary Cummings has been anxious to retire from the secretaryship of the committee for a good while, and this meeting will probably elect his successor. Mr. Cummings has not abandoned the party, but be wishes more lucrative employment.

M. C. Rankin, the treasurer of the national committee, was the leading representative of the party at the conference. He would like to see the national convention come to Indianapolis, as would all those who were here.

Last night several of the party leaders held a consultation with representatives of the Indianapolis commercial bodies, and suggested that this city could probably secure the convention if it would make the proper effort. The date and place of the convention will be fixed by the national committee at its meeting at St. Lbuis January 17th. Mr. Rankin "says Minneapolis has pledged f$,000, and several oilier cities that would like to have the convention have pledged smaller sums. "The thing for Indianapolis to do is to appoint a committee to go to St. Louis and make an offer," said he. "It is not necessary to announce in advance how much the city will offer. That gives the other Cities an opportunity to outbid."

The faithful members of the party who are here declare that it is not true that there is any danger of the party organization being abandoned. "There are more Populists in Indiana than ever before, said Mr. Rankin. "If the men of Indiana voted the sentiments the party would carry the state next year."

This meeting may fix the date of the state nominating convention. Madison county sent the largest delegation to the meeting. Dr. W. H. Taylor, of that county, would like to have the conference indorse his effort to organize free silver voters into a secret order to be known as "Silver Knights." Three divisions of the new order have already been established in ad so

I am sure it saved my life. I suffered for several years with Brights Disease, aggravated by gravel in the left kidney. About two years ago the trouble got so bad that I could not leave my bed had night sweats, extreme weakness, chills and my flesh had a blanched

look. I did not expect to get well again. Eighteen months ago I began using the Liver and Kidney Balm. I used at firjt two bottles, which helped me so much I could leave the bed and go about my household duties so I continued with it. I also began to pac-s the gravel. In all I passed five stones. I am now feeling entirely cured, but still taking the Balm occasionally to make sure. Doctor, I am unable to express ray gratitude to God for my restoration to health, and I owe it, even my present existence, to your ver and Kidney Balm. It is a grand medicine. Yours respectfully, MRS A

omitted, but it

furnished in strict confidence to any who wish to investigate this case.
