BULLS WERE ON TOP

KINDS OF STATISTICS INFLUENCE THE WHEAT MARKET.

After Various Fluctuation* Wheat Finally Scored An Advance of ThreeQuarters.

Chicago, Nov. 30.—Wheat speculators had all kinds of statistics with which to govern their actions today. It made a very fluctuating market with the bulls finally in the ascendency, the May option closing at an advance of 3-4c. Corn and oats were weak, closing l-4c lower each. Provisions were strong and. advanced 2 l-2@10c each.

Everything favored higher prices at the opening of the wheat market today. The Liverpool cable was high and notwithstanding the weak close here last week, and a Paris cable quoted' that market excited and advancing on the cold weather and bad crop prospects and the world's shipments were about 1,500,000 bushels iess than the week previous, hi till another source of strength was tue sniailliess of the domestic receipts at leading western cities. Chicago got only seventeeu cars, against 511 a year ago, while Minneapolis and Uuiuth reported only 400 car loads, compared with 770 a week ago and 1,542 the corresponding day of the year before. The combined effect of such news was that May wheat, which closed Saturday at Si) 7-SfciiSle, opened at from So to 85 3-8c and maintained itaelt substantially between those figures for over an hour. Then for various reasons, chiecy naving reference to local speculative conditions, the extra bullish feeling ail oozed out and by 12 o'clock the price had dropped to 84c.

The chief reason for the weakness was simply lack of business. Outside support was almost entirely lacking, most of the trading being of a local nature. The visible supply was somewhat of a disappointment, the decrease being only 1,007,001) bushels instead of 1,000,000 bushels decrease, as had been generally expeoted. After the price had worked irregularly down to S3 3-4c, a revulsion of feeling occurred. The strength of the closing cables, the fact that official returns of the worlds' shipments to Burope made them only 7,417,000 bushels for the week and an engagement of 100,000 bushels of wheat for immediate lake and rail shipment to England, all helped to turn prices upward. May advanced to 85c and was bringing 84 3-4c when the session closed.

Corn was a small and uninteresting market. Only once and that immediately after the opening, did prices touch the closing point of Saturday. The cold weather was expected to increase the receipt as well as the grading. Prices followed wheat on its downward course, but failed to advance on the latter's recovery. May opened unchanged at 27 l-8c, sold a shade higher, declined to 2C 5-8@26 3-4c and closed weak at 2ti 7-8c.

Oats opened firm with wheat and also under a good demand. Later prices fell oft and the market ruled very weak from then up to the finish. Liquidation of December was the principal cause for the decline and the break in the wheat and corn market also had a material effect. May started a shade higher at 22 l-8@22 l-4c, sold between 22 3-8@21 3-4c, closing easy at 21 7-8c.

Provisions were strong at the opening and that feeling characterized most of the session. The firmness at the start was caused by a much smaller run of hogs than expected and this was sufficient Incentive for a still further advance. Some decline followed in sympathy with grain but the market closed steady. May pork closed 10c higher at $f?.27 1-2 May lard 2 l-2c higher at $4.37 1-2, and May ribs 7 l-2c higher at $4.22 1-2. fci a .i

MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.

Bears Succeed in Forcing a Lower Level of Prices. New York, Nov. 30.—The indisposition of the general public as well as other operators who were usually identified with the long side to make ventures pending the delivery of the presidential message continues to favor the fear faction. The exceptional ease of money and recent complete reversal of financial and exchange operations as between New York and Londan are laid especial stress upon by the securities holding and owning Interests and other things being equal, afford the sinews ot war for a bull campaign. Meanwhile dealings in stocks are practically confined to the traders on the floor of the exchange.

The bears were again successful today in forcing a lower level for prices. The final comparative figures show important fractional concessions in the raliway and more material declines in some of the specialties. The reported absence of liquidation does not hold good as regards the specialties, which are subject to peculiar trade or speculative factors. London continues to work itf perhaps unpremeditated concert with tl»e local advocates of lower prices with a more unfavorable sentimental oft'ort than is warranted by the extent of its operations. The market opened at general concessions, which later became quite marked, incidental to renewed firmness in the exchange market, which reached the highest quotations recorded for a long time past. The specialties were the features of the market Sugar lost 2 3-8 per cent, the extreme concession made in the active list. The ostensible cause of the break was the reported continued suspension of the Williamsburg refinery. Manhattan sagged 2 1-8 General Electric 2 1-4: Consolidated Gas 1 3-4: Leather preferred 1 6-8, and various other stocks 1@1 1-4 per oent: La Clede Gas fell 2 1-2 per cent in anticipation of the long Impending supreme court verdict, but recovered 1 3-4 per cent later. New Jersey Central became prominent in the closing dealings and declined 2 5-8 per cent on selling assumed to be for long account. The closing was sluggish and weak at the lowest price.

How She Kats.

Byron said that he did not like to see a woman eating, and the Byron-admiring girl has taken this line to heart.

But Byron is dead, and the girl is obliged to work heard and steadily, and she can not afford to starve Herself, even with the thought that her favorite poet looked upon heavy meals for women with disapproval.

The girl does not care what the men think of her for her healthy appetite, either. She thinks, with true American independence, that she pays for her luncheon, and it is her own affair what and how much she eats. She may see that her order is larger than that of the man who sits at the next table, but if she does she makes no sign.

She goes on eating her soup, her roast beef, her pie, her ice cream and her doughnuts with the calmness of one who knows that her position is based on sound digestible principles.

That the appetite of women has increased largely in the last few ytfars is declared by observers and vouched for by physicians.

It is ascribed to their increased devotion to ]jat t0

athletic sports, and particularly to bicycle

ways than one," observed a physician on Friday, as he watched a young girl speeding alone the boulevard. "In the first place the exercise gives a fillip to the digestive functions, and, in the second, a woman on a wheel has no time to worry about anything. Her mind must be fixed on her wheel. She cannot think of other things, so that she cannot worry. Nothing is worse for the digestive organs than worry. Do you follow me?"

Any one could follow such a.clear exposition.

A Quest Ion of Time.

The other week a few would-be jokers enroute for Blairowrie were continually aunoying the" guard at every station with foolish questions, such as: "How long will we be before we reach Blair?" "Are we no near landed?" etc. At length, annoyed beyond endurance, the guard called one of them "An impudent young puppy!" "Ay, ay," replied the joker, "I may be a young puppy the noo, but I'm thinkin' I'll be an auld dog 'fore I get tae Blair."— Scottish Nights.

Taking Him at His Word.

Mrs. McBride-^-B4?ore we were married you often wished there was some brave deed you could do for me to show your love.

Mr. McBride—Yes, dear, and I woyld do it now. Mrs. McBride—Then, love, go down into the kitchen and discharge Bridget.—Boston Courier.

LANTZ RUNNING TBS FARM JAIL TO SUIT HIMSELF.

Assault on the Jailer—Mlsoel-

50 laneous News From the ..15 Neighborhood. .. 40

Lantz, the fellow arrested by officers in this city for horse stealing, and delivered to the Paris, 111., authorities, seems to be running tilings in the jail about a» lie pleases. A swift poke from an officer's mace might have a salutary effect. A Paris paper says: "Lantz has been very sulky during-Ms carceration. He would be croBS and snappish on all occasions, his confinement evidently worrying him. Saturday evening he intimidated the other prisoners when in the hallway of the interior of the cage by attempting to take their lives. The threats were so imperative in manner that the prisoners sought shelter in their cages, Lantz wanted to pulverize the turnkey and custodian, who is M. A. Hogue. The custodian didn't take much stock In the words, but got away when Lantz struck at him with an iron hook, with which the prisoner's bedding is strung up. The assailant had cut loose the hook with a knife which by some means he had possessed and was using it for a weapon. Mr. Hogue then got the hose and deluged his prisoner with a stream of cold water, but the latter simply grabbed the nozzle when it was inserted between the bars and cut off a section of the rubber tubing. He had the rubber with itti iron nozzle attached and brandished this at the keeper, together with a string of oaths. Hogue called up the police department by telephone and Officers Stepp and McCord went to the jail building. The prisoner calmed down and promised Stepp that he would give up his fighting weapons to his keeper,- but up to last accounts had not done so."

There was a small wreck on the Van to the Peoria division passenger train at 6:30 o'clock Saturday morning. It was No. 7, due in Paris at 7 a. m., and it was near Malcomb, a station on the main line track, just east of Farrington, where the casualty occurred. The accident was caused by a broken rail and it is a wonder that more serious consequences did not ensue. The tender of the engine and front trucks of the baggage car left the track, but the train was brought to a standstill in time to keep the whole train from plunging into the ditch. The passengers were jolted from their seats, but no one was injured.—Paris Gazette.

Prisoners confined in the Bedford jail made a desperate attempt to escape by setting fire to that structure early Sunday morning. A number of them had been allowed down in the corridor, where the scheme, carefully planned, was executed, and but for the timely discovery and vigorous efforts on the part of Sheriff Holmes they would have succeeded in escaping to the outer world. George Byrum, alias Ibach, the would-be hero, and Jesse Johnson, charged with murder in the first degree, were among those engaged in the plot.

There will be a change in the Sullivan County Bank about the 1st o£ January. Mr. F. E. Davis of Loogootee has purchased an interest in the business and will move to Sullivan about the middle of December. Mr. Davis has been connected with the White River Bank of Loogootee as cashier for seven years, and therefore has an extended knowledge of the business. There will be no other changes in the bank, none o£ the present force Retiring.—Sullivan Union

Architect Rhodes has in preparation a set of drawings for the new Michael's business university which is to be erected on the site of the old building. The drawings show a building which will not be quite so large as the one lately destroyed by fire, but an imposing structure of very much the same shape and general design. It is stated that work will be begun on the new building as soon as possible.—Logansport Journal.

Lewis Leseure and J. D. Ross, both young and ambitious citizens of this city, left last night for New York, where they will embark in a few days for South Africa. Their destination is Johannesburg, the town made famous by Dr. Jamison's raid into the Transvaal a few months ago. A good position awaits each of them upon their arrival at their far-away destination.—Danville Press.

The preliminary hearing of George Ibaejli, who is charged with putting dynamite bn' the B. & O. S. W. track, that was to have been held before Mayor Pearson of Bedford. Saturday afternoon, was postponed until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon in order to ret the proper witnesses.

An Indianapolis company has secured a franchise from the town and will soon put into operation a telephone system here. They expect to connect it with surrounding towiis. The charge for service will be low, $1.50 and $2 per month, for private and business houses.—Sullivan Times.

Her American Spirit.

exercise. js-0Wi his charming young woman, unlike "Bicycle riding aids digestion in more

some ot your

charming young "Washington

women, .is thoroughly American, which her mother isn't, and the result is that there is somewhat of an emotional clash now and then.

That is to say, the daughter receives attentions from some men Whom the mother doesn't approve of.

One particularly. He is from the West, and he has a whole barrelful of money, and is getting several more fast.

Oh horrors! "Of course, dear," said the pretty girl's mother, only last week "of course, Mr. Blanke is a very excellent young man, and he has money, but you know he is in trade, and if you marry him you cannot go into society. Now, why dont you throw him over and accept the diplomat who is your slave? He is charming, of such a great family, and he is a favorite in our very best society." "That's all right, mamma," replied the young woman, "but I like the other'man. As for the trade part, you needn't worry about .that. George is in politics on the side, and it won't ba ten years until he goes abroad as an ambassador to some of thos** effete old monarchies, and with his pull and purse we can have a string of ordinary diplomats at our heels like a tail to a kite."

Since which announcement the maternal ancestor hasn't had as much to say, though she may still be thinking.

Character Tolil By the Hair. Flit and sleek looking hair is said to indicate mental weakness. Alas far the men of fashion!

A marked difference in color between the hair and eyebrows denotes untrustworthiness.

Close, thick, rather coarse, straight black hair is said to be found on persons with more order and industry than mental ablltty.

An abundance of strong, crisp black or brown hair Is accepted as denoting strong vitality and passion if light, fine and abundant, self control.

Curly hair denotes, vivacity, a yielding

nature, Immense love approbation, and frequently it la the pOMMsicn of men Wsil women of great literary and musical gifts.

Bed hair of the real brick red la held to mean eruelty end perfidy on the other hand, the brownish red hair, particularly if *curly, accompuiies a gentle, loving and very trusting disposition.

Smooth, softly waving, fine hair indicates gentleness, quietness, neatness. We can each recall the woman with, the wavy hair, parted in the middle, the gentle christian woman and immaculate housekeeper.

Straight, fair hair, aecennling to the type of the head it is founded upoD, is accredited, If upon an Intellectual head, as indicating a gentle, amiable and refined disposition. The same hair upon an -ill-formed, dull, phlegmatic tmperament. Take, for exampio, the high bred, fair haired Englishwoman and the flaxen haired, stupid German or English peasant.

That the character of the face may be changed by wigs of various styles is understood by professionals. Refinement will always call for silky, fine hair beauty pnd loveliness for waviness or curls stupidity for a shock of coarse, rough brown or black, and savage ferocity for straight, wiry, black head covering. Hence the classification of stage wigs as legal, virtuous, peasant, lover, villian, doctor, etc.
