There were quite a number of small fires yesterday which were actually a good deal of benefit to many people. Inthe first place they helped the trade of E. A. Barker our popular Druggist as he sold the Wadsworth Bros.’ *Chicos” which were burned. Then they benefited the smokers, for it certainly is a benefit toany man to find a cigar for 5c that will give him more satisfaction than 10c cigars have before. We might say truthfully that these ciga.s were agood thing for many others, as nothing makes a man more good natured than a satisfactory smoke, such as he always gets when he lights a “Chico.” E. A. Barker has secured the local agency for Wadsworth Bros.’” “Chicos” and wants all smokers to try them and see that at last it is possible to get a real Havana cigar, well made, good size, free smoker, delicious flavor, for 5c. Better try a “Chico” on his recommendation Musicale Today. The following program was rendered at the meeting of the ladies’ musicale held this after noon at the home of Mrs. R.' B.

WILD SCEMES WITNESSED IN THE PIT \ o CRIES OF THE EXCITED BROKERS PLAINLY AUBIBLE IN THE STREETS BELOW. Chicago, April 24.—May wheat came down with a crash during the day, touching 9814 cents. Less than six weeks ago the price for the option was $1.2i%. Of this sensational de- cline of 23 cents the net loss of the day was 11% cents a bushel. The market reacted somewhat at the close, final quotations being at $1 even It was evident frem the opening of business that brokers for John W. Gates, the reputed leader of a coteric ihat was supposed to be engaged in an attempt to corner the May option, hac withdiawn support from the market. The day’s developments indicated that not only were Gates and friends fail- ing to support the market, but that they were actively engaged in dis- posing of their holdings. - ‘The scenes in the wheat pit were among wildest ever witnessed there, “althugh the trading was not heavy. The gallery was full of spec- tators, while the floor of the board was crowded with traders and brokers. The din of the pit could be heard plainiy in the bouievard velow, mak- ing wholly inaudible the clatter of horses’ hoois on the asphalt. The crowd in the pit surged and pushed as the break in prices continued and members on the wrong side, in efforts to cover losses, shouted themselves hoarse, with perspiration streaming down their checks, as they vainly sought to stop the runaway market. Gates Not a Heavy Loser. After the day’s trading was over operators on change frecly expressed a beliel that Gates and friends had 1 with little, if any, loss to themselves as there were numerous. stories of an agreement with Awnour and other leading traders flollowing which May wheat was left to its own resourc The report was given that Mr. Gat had fully protected himself. Immense purchases of July wheat, presumably tor Armour, during the past few days was said to furnish the basis of the agreement. A favorite theory is tha. as May wheat was being sold hedges in July were at the same time being taken ofi. Another report was that Gates and Armour representatives at a secret meeting had made an agree ment to liguidate May holdings and switch into the July option. oifsetting any losses in May by a greater profit in July. The day’s decline was almost cou- tinuous from start to finish. There was a slight breathing spell at $1.02, the market rallying from that figure temporarily to $1.03. The momeniary rally, however, was soon followed by the worst slump of the day, the price going to 981 shortly before the cios- ing of the day’s business. There was a slight rebound in the last few minutes, the quotation as the final gong sound- ed being $1 even a bushel. JUDGE TULEY AS ARBITRATOR. New Peace Move in the Teamsters' Strike, at Chicago. Chicago, -April 24—A new peace move in the teamsters’ strike, with Judge Murray Tuley as the arbitrator, was taken under consideration during the day by the employers.

STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISE. Thomas Lowry Loses Suit at Supe- rior, Wis. Superior, ‘Wis., April 24—Thomas Lowry’s famous twelve-year extension of a street railway franchise in this city was-knocked out in a decision by Judge Vinje in the circuit court. The judge holds in the case of the state against the Duluth Street Rail- way company that the fact that the company, which is a foreign corpora- tion, had not filed its articles with the secrelary of state at the time it accepted the extension of the fran- chise makes the extension vojd. The court does hold, however, that the in- terests had a right to come in and purchase the original franchise, which now has about fourteen years to run until expiration. Husband's Death Kills Wife. Coshocton, O., April 24.—George Ashcroft, a wealthy farmer, fell dead across the foot of his bed when he arose to put extra covering over his wife, who had been ill.
