December wheat to-day reached Ofac . and closed at «c. Thla Is the highest point raach*<1 since July 13, when the name option cknwd at «%c. The Impulse Is the much hiaher cables, which are Influenced, doubtless, by threatening European political complications. The advance since niaht before, last's closing at Liverpool Is 3% pence a bushel, while Paris shows an advance of 36 centimes In wheat and S6 centlnaee In flour. Grain Motes. . [By O. t>- Weaver A Co.'s Wire.) Chicago: Bales of cash No. i Northern wheat hare have aggregated 100,000 bushels. There are claims of 300.000 bushels wheat sold, but the latter figure Is not , confirmed. Last week’s export business at seaboard was at least 5,000.000 bushels, and since Saturday the taking* have aggregated 3.500,000 bushels, with a million to-dmy. Armour has sold 300,000 bushels wheat to different shippers on the floor. Cudahy buying of wheat has been the feature for an hour. The Baldwln-Our-ney telling was the feature early, about two million against calls. . „ . . The acreage of fall wheat In Nebraaka is larger this year than ever before In the history of the State. The crop shows such a luxuriant growth in many place* that farmers are turning their stock on to the wheat-flelds to crop them before snow comes. Closing cables Paris: Wheat 15®* centime# higher, flour lOfeSO centimes higher. Antwerp 37%©S7^ centimes higher. The above email advances Indicate no war scare excitement In Paris. Weather forecast: Illinois. Indiana, Michigan—Rain; cooler. Missouri and Iowa—Bhowera and snow flurries: cool. Nebraska. Dakotas—Fair, except possible * snow flurrie#; continued cool. New York wires: “Hear tbers was 1.500.000 bushels wheat and over 1.000.000 bushels corn taken for export so far to-
day,”
Berlin: We are doing a very extensive business from South Russia in grain. Russia made a good crop this year, but farmers are still holding their grain, and supplies have remained small. This state of things will soon alter and the crop
come to light.
Baltimore wires: "No abatement of demand for wheat for export. IBooks like very liberal reallalng by longs at the advance. ^ . The Price Current aays: "Moisture !* delaying marketing and cribbing of com. . Wheat crop doing well, some fly, but colder weather expected to remove drawbacks Grain marketed to fair extent; some Instances under fear of weevil. Packing. 390.000. against 386,000 hogs."
[By A. W. Thomson's Wire.]
Chicago: Cables said Russian ottering* were decreasing and all ’ firm offers from the seaboard were accepted, and a total business computed us high as SOD loads from all ports. The enormous total for the day '' h, following the excsedlngly large enwnt* of past two or three days, is to show In the weekly clearance*
to a considerable extent.

New York, October Just before opening of the market, cables were received from London houses stating that the London markets were somewhat better. and that offerings of stocks were light. Nevertheless Londor was g fairly heavy seller of all International securities, more specialty of the Northern Pacific stocks, tlnlotl Pacific and Atchison preferred. Tbs selling of the Northern Pacific seemed to be caused to some extent by the criticisms ’ Indulged In toy a leading London financial paper in regard to the methods employed toy the management of the company. The charge Is made that the operating expenses are no low- as to make It impossible to maintain the physical condition of the road. Outside of foreign selling, there wat - not much premure on the market. One section of the professional element con-

Chicago, October 20.—Trading In wheat to-day started excited and higher, influenced by the sensational advances in English cables. First trades in December showed an advance of 2c over Tuesday’s close, selling at 6794c. Shorts participated in a general scramble to cover and the price soon reached 68c. That was the turning point, however, as longs were Inclined to take profits, and as the buying relaxed December sold off to 67%c. The Liverpool advance was 5% to 6 per cent., said to be the result of political complications. Advices from the other side were that all foreign markets were greatly excited, and that traders generally were anxious to load up wltn large stocks of wheat. On top of that came reports from New York that the export takings at the seaboard to-day would foot up over a million bushels. As a result of this, prices took another upturn, and December quickly rose to 67%c. Receipts were 398 cars, of which 28 were contract. Higher cables and the decided rally in wheat gave corn a good send-off. Receipts were 942 cars, which was considered quite liberal in view of the bad weather West, and some longs accepted profits. The market was not allowed to sag very far, as buying by the country was quite large on account of the poor husking returns. December opened %c higher at 32%@32%C, rose to 3294c, declined to 3294c, then recovered to 32V4@

New York. October 20.—Declines were quite general at the opening, and the market wan active In response to the rather acute depression reported on foreign exchanges, but the international stocks showed evidence of vigorous support and were not quoted in any case as low as the London parity. Declines ranged up to a point In Illinois Central, the latter being a sharp fractional recovery from the London price. Sugar fell a point. Tobacco was supported for a short time, but soon dropped. Hawaiian Commercial rose 1%. The resistance to the downward movement encouraged the bulls to lend effective support to the leading industrials, with the result that prices turned upward ail around.

A JOINT TICKET AGENCY
B. Wilson Smith, of Lafayette, who was here to-day, says Tippecanoe county will return an increased Republican majority this year. On account of the visit of the President to the State, political meetings will generally be suspended to-morrow. A prominent gold Democrat of this city baa this to say about the congressional situation in this district: "It seems to me that the congressional situation Is in one particular very much what It was two years ago. In 18% it was felt that the State and district would both sustain ‘the cause of sound money if only the Republicans would do their duty. The uncertain factor was the sliver Republican element. No one could tell how large that would be. Now there Is the same uncertainty. The gold Democrats may be trusted to support Overstreet with practical unanimity. They are as much in earnest now as they were two years ago. Free silver Is as strongly opposed by them as it ever was. I do not believe that Mr. Bailey will get any help from the National Democrats. But they hear a good deal of Republican opposition to the sound-money candidate—opposition, for the most part, based on personal reasons, which. In a time like this, should have no weight whatever. Other Republicans are said to be fighting Overstreet because of his supposed friendship for the merit system. The patriots who do not think they have been sufficiently rewarded for their services, are doing their best to turn this district over to the free-silver men. But it Is plain enough that if the Republicans really want to elect Overstreet they can do it. If he is defeated, it will be by Republican opposition. I think that this fact should be made clear In order that the friends of honest money may know where to place the responsibility for Overstreet’s defeat. If he shall be defeated. If the Republicans will only get their own men in line, the National Democrats may be trusted to help win another great victory for sound money.” Capt. K. H. Harris, of Noblesville, warden of the district jail, left Washington, D. C„ last night for home to remain until after the election. Captain Harris lives in Congressman Landis's district. He feels confident that Mr. LJndls will be reelected. First Assistant Postmaster-General Heath expects to leave Washington, D. C., for Muncie the early part of next week. He will be home in time to put in some work for the Republican ticket. Nearly every Indiana Republican in office in Washington will. It is said, come home to vote.

RESULT OF THE CENTRAL PASSENGER ASSOCIATION USQATRY.
Klnnan Heoel-ve* an Allownnee— Report that Verbal Accosattonii May be Taken Up tor Investigation.
The Central Passenger Association has vindicated the joint ticket agency that was opened here during the Pythian encampment. C. B, Klnnan. who came from Chicago to attend to the agency here, made affidavit against three Indianapolis railroad men and a ticket broker, stating that the four had attempted to bribe him Into making am arrangement so that the brokers could have their tickets approved. Few persons here believed that any such attempt had been made. The question was referred to the Indianapolis Passenger Association, and the four men involved made counter-affi-davits, stating that the charges made by Klnnan were untrue. The Central Passenger Association took the report of the Indianapolis Passenger Association and dropped the affair after allowing Klnnan $100 as extra compensation for his work in this city. It is asserted that Kinnan made accusations against other passenger men In this city which he did not embody in his affidavit, and these men have demanded of the Central Passenger Association a report on the charges that Kinnan made verbally.
The Sale la Postponed. The sale of the Terre Haute & Ix)gansport road has been postponed The order to postpone the sale until November 18 was issued last night by Judge Woods, on the petition of the Pennsylvania company. The amount due on the road, in the way of interest, is about $93,000, and the Pennsylvania Is anxious that it should receive this money, as the Terre Haute & Indianapolis has guaranteed the bonds of the Logansport road, and the Pennsylvania owns the Terre Haute & Indianapolis. The report was at one time that the Pennsylvania wanted to get rid of the Logansport division. but it now looks as though the company desires to retain it.

Habeas Corpna Proceeding* Before Judge Harvey, of Superior Court.
The habeas corpus proceedings of Charles Culbertson, against Chief of Police Quigley came up before Judge Harvey, of Superior Court, room 2, to-day. Culbertson has been a well-known figure at the Denison Hotel for a number of years. On July 29, this year, he attacked Dr. William B. Fletcher In Washington street. He was arrested for assault and battery, but at the suggestion of the doctor, Culbertson was tried by an insanity commission. He was declared to be insane. On a writ of habeas corpus he was brought into Judge Harvey's court. It was during vacation and the case was continued until the next term of court. Manager Terry Cullen, of the Denison Hotel, undertook to care for him in the meantime. The court this morning heard the testimony of Moses G. McLain, Be men t Lyman, William T. Marcy, Captain Dawson, turnkeys Long and Taffe and a number of patrolmen, all of whom have had long acquaintance with Culbertson, and none of whom had ever noticed any evidence of unsoundness of mind on the part of Culbertson. To the police he had said that he “had it hi for” Dr. Fletcher, had whipped him and was now satisfied; he could pass the doctor now without becoming disturbed or excited. He had explained his animosity to the doctor, the patrolmen testified, by saying that the doctor and his son-in-law, Dr. Brown, had treated him cruelly while he was under their care at a sanatorium and because he had heard that Dr. Fletcher, after Culbertson left the Medical Institution and went to the Denison, had warned the proprietor of that hotel that he was a maniac and a dangerous man.
DEATH OF MRS. KENDRICK. Wife of Dr. W. H. Kendrick, Who Has Long Lived Here.
* TO DESTROY POLLUTION, Conference of gtravrboard Manufacturer* and State Officer*.
Mrs. Jeannette Meredith Kendrick, the wife of Dr. W. H. Kendrick, of 116 North East street, died at half past 5 o’clock this morning of pneumonia. Mrs. Kendrick was seventy-three years old, and had been an Invalid for eight years. She went out driving yesterday afternoon, and it is supposed she contracted a cold which ended her life. She had lived In Indianapolis for forty-five years, and in the same house for forty years. She was born in North Carolina, October 14, 1825, and came to Wayne county, Indiana, when she was a girl. There she married Dr. Kendrick, and came to Indianapolis. Dr. Kendrick purchased lots for the distance of nearly a block In North East street, and built the first brick house In the block, in* which the family has lived since. Mrs. Kendrick was a member of Roberts Park Methodist Episcopal church, and was known for her cnaritable disposition. She leaves her husband. Dr. Kendrick, who Is eighty-four years old, and one daughter, Mrs. Minerva J. Holliday, whose husband, Wilbur F. Holliday, died last November. J. R. Kendrick, a son of Dr. and Mrs. Kendrick, died last August. Beside her daughter. Mrs. Kendrick leaves three sisters—Mrs. Eliza Maudlin, of Wayne county; Mrs. Julia Edgerton, of Crown Point, and Mrs. Mary Broadwell, of Franklin, Tenn., and one brother, John Meredith, of ’Wayne county. Funeral services will be held at the family home Saturday afternoon. The burial will be private. SPECIAL CONTRACTS.
Members of the State Board of Health, a committee of the strawboard manufacturers and the State Fish Commissioner held a preliminary conference here to-day, and later went to Muncie to continue their discussion of plans for the prevention of the pollution of streams with the refuse from the strawboard factory. It is proposed to conduct a series of experiments at the expense of the manufacturers to determine whether the refuse may be chemically treated and rendered harmless. The position of the State Board of Health is that the factories ought not .to be driven away from Indiana, but that a remedy for the pollution coming from them must be found. The refuse which has poisoned the waters of Indiana streams and killed the fish is. it is explained. largely composed of sugars. These, held in solutions, ferment and become poisonous. It is proposed to destroy them by the use of yeast. The resulting fluids are to be passed through sand filter-beds and thus purified to be admitted into the streams. The solids will be largely converted into carbonic acid gas in the process, which, it is said, will not be expensive. , CXIOX STOCK YARDS.

THANKFUL TO MBS. PINKHAJI.
Special Insurance contracts are receiv ing much attention from insurance agents by reason of pending suits. Attorneys no not agree as to what the court rulings signify. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, said this morning that in sustaining the demurrer to the complaint In the case of George Wolf, receiver of the Globe Accident Insurance Company, against Dr. George Kahlo to recover, an amount (5.25) credited to him on his third year's premium, because of a "special contract,” he had not passed on the validity of special contracts. The complaint was, he said, that the contract was void, and he reasoned that if that was the case, the doctor had had no insurance, and, consequemly, the company had no claim against him. Judge Allen said- that there were other ways to bring the question of the validity of special contracts btiore the courts.
COMPLETING THE EAST GROUP.

A golf supper will be served at the Country Club, and there will be an informal dance In the evening. The Indianapolis club has an invitation to go to Dayton, O., next week, and arrangements will probably be made to accept the invitation. The Contemporary Onto. The Contemporary Club held its second meeting for the season last night. Mr. Charles Dudley Warner was the guest of the evening. He addressed the club on the "Solidarity of Literature.” The discourse, which was informal Ln character, was a most earnest protest against provincial standards in literature and an eloquent plea for a recognition of “the best that has been said and written.” True literature is the one enduring thing in the history of the world. Religions and governments decay, monuments perish, but the written word remains. Syracuse, in the higbt of its power, was a city of 500,000 people, the seat of large commerce, the home of culture. It was rich in monuments, palaces, prisons, beautiful temples. Not one stone remains upon another. But Theocritus lives, and the people he created still haunt those shores. Stories or poems, to toe the real thing, must have In them something of the universal human element. In what is said of the character created, you must recognize yourself ; it must be possible of you; and so the appeal is direct and personal. England has recently lost her greatest man. In force and capacity, Gladstone had no equal In this age, unless perhaps In Bismarck. ’ His intellectual sympathies were prodigious. He took part in all the controversies of his time. His reading was along the most diverse lines, and he wrote on a vast variety of subjects. His collected writings were published not long ago—eight large volumes. “And yet,” said Mr. Warner, “I venture to say that fifty years hence the one brief story by Dr. John Brown, ■Rab and His Friends,’ will be worth more than all Gladstone ever wrote.” Incidentally, Mr. Warner had much to say of present educational tendencies and results hi America. No country has more or finer educational machinery, but we are not getting the best results. The fault lies in the half-educated teachers, in slavery to text-books, in attempting to teach a smattering of everything, and so teaching nothing with thoroughness. Better results for the average pupil that leaves school at fourteen would, in his estimation, be secured if there were greater concentration on the three R’s. Education is not cramming with information; it is discipline, training. Mr. Warner’s discourse was irradiated with that kindly humor which is characteristic of his books. He was followed by his hearers, who were in large numbers, with the most sympathetic attention. No one heard him that did not go away with the sense of exaltation that comes from listening to elevated and illuminative discourse on a great theme. The committee of reception were Mr. and Mrs. John R. Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wallace. Schraniin-Pleraon. The marriage of Miss Grace Marie Pierson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Pierson, to Mr. John B. Schramm took place last night at the home of the bride’s parents, the Rev. T. J. Villere, of the First Baptist church, officiating. The bride was attended by the bridegroom’s sister. Miss Doris Schramm, as the maid of honor, with Miss Harriet Eitel and Miss Maud Frier as the bridesmaids. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Percy Elam as the best man, and they met the bride and her maids in the dining-room and passed with them into the parlor for the service, during which Marone played the Lohengrin wedding march. A wedding supper was served, followed at 8:30 by the reception, at which many of the friends called to offer congratulations. Assisting the parents of the bride and the parents of the bridegroom were Mr. and Mrs. Ora C. Pierson, who were married this season; Miss Mama Pierson, Miss Mary Minor. Miss Clara Becker, Miss Fanny Martin and Miss Edith McFarland. Miss Laura Hanna and Miss Agnes Neighbor were at the punch bowl. The bride wore pearl silk, with trimmings of silk applique; the maid of honor was in white mull over white taffeta, and the bridesmaids wore white organdie over American Beauty silk. Mr. and Mrs. Schramm did not go on a wedding trip. They will receive their friends after December 1 at No. 1018 Ntorth New Jersey street. —— O'" ■ - Order of Maccabee* Ca*e.

Washington, D. C., October 20.—At the meeting of the House of Deputies of the Episcopal Congress, a letter to the Czar of Russia was agreed upon, rejoicing at bis peace manifesto, and earnestly hoping that the proposed conference may result in a "reduction of the excessive armaments, which are a crushing burden on the peoples, and in the establishment of some method of Judicial arbitration for the settlement of international difficulties.” A further resolution favored Instructions to the United States commissioners to the Czar’s conference, favoring the establishment of a .permanent international court for the settlemet of disputes which may arise between nations. There was objection to this plan, and it was tabled. The Rev. B. R. W. Taylor’s resolution, expressing thanks to Great Britain for the sympathy shown toward the United States during the recent war with Spain aroused spirited controversy. J. H. Stotsenburg, of Indiana, urged ti.at the resolution had no place before a church convention, but was political In character. When Mr, Stotsenburg moved to table the resolution there were murmurs of dl»»ent, and the motion to table was lost. The resolution was then adopted by viva voce vote, Charles J. Allen Released. By persons missing a train at Chicago, Charles J. Allen, who has been in Jail here for a week or so to answer to the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, obtained his freedom this morning.

After Allen had been brought into court a telegram was received from Chicago, saying that the witnesses had missed the train, and the judge let him go. He was an agent for the Danbury Hat Company, afid was accused of sending in false orders and drawing commissions on them. o ... ... Printing Stnte Ballots.

One Person In Rvery Four Buffers Prom PUea. # About one person in every four suffers from some form of rectal disease. The most common and annoying is Itching piles, indicated by warmth, slight moisture and intense, uncontrollable itching in the parts affected. The usual treatment hae been some simple ointment or salve which sometime# give# temporary relief, but nothing like a permanent cure can be expected from such superficial treatment The only permanent cure for Itching piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for itching plies, but for every other form of piles—Wind, bleeding or protruding. The first application gives instant relief and the continued use for a short time causes a permanent removal of the tumors or the small parasites which cause the Intense Itching and discomfort of Itching piles. Many physicians for a long time supposed that the remarkable relief afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it contained cocaine, opium or similar drugs, but such is not the case. A recent careful analysis of the remedy showed it to be absolutely free from cocaine, opium, or, in fact, any poisonous, injurious drugs whatever. Sold by druggists at 50 cents, per package.
