SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM \LL ECORDS BROKEN Volume of Trade in Wheat Pit Swamps the Brokers. PRICES CONTINUE TO CLIMB All the Leading Options Close Above the Dollar Mark, December Going to $1.03%, a New High Point for the Present Splurge. Chicago, May ' L—Scenes of wild excitement attended early trading on the board of trade. The warket, how- ever, instead of opening at a higher level, as predicted by many, showed sharp declines on initial transactions, 4 the losses ranging all the way from one-half to 2 cents. Within the first fifteen minutes, however, the market had not only regained all the opening loss, but had in some cases advanced to a point 1% cents above the previous day’s closing prices. The July option opened at 96% to 98 and advanced to 9914. September, after opening at 9714 to 99, crossed the dollar mark and touched $1.01. The December delivery also touched $1.01, after opening at 99 cents to $1. By noon the market had become sensationally strong and the activity had extended into corn and oats. Wheat, however, was still easily the star attraction and a new record was set when July, the most active option at this season of the year, made a frenzied jump to $1.02. September swept past the dollar mark without a second’s hesitation and went in long Jumps to $1.02%. The December op- tion, which earlier in the week led the way to the dollar mark, eclipsed the other options at noon by a quotation of $1.03%. Demand Engulfs Short Sellers. The steady upward trend of prices during the forenoon caused consider- able short selling among professionals who play habitually for a downward turn, but the nationwide demand com- pletely engulfed. selling orders and figures continued to grow on the blackboard almost as if there were no sellers. In the volume of trade all records, including those of the Leiter “corner” days and of men who went before him, were eclipsed, according to the state- ments of traders who have been on the board for more than a generation. Even the largest brokers are unable to care for the great mass of orders sent them for execution in the pit. Their private telegraph wires are swamped with business and their cler- ical forces are working not only at top pressure during the day but the better part of the night to keep track of transactions. “Dollar wheat” was an actuality at the ciose, for all the leading options closed over that mark. The oats mar- ket also exhibited unexpected strength and surprised speculators with an ad- vance of 3% cents at one time. July oats closed at a net advance of 2% cents, at 46%. The high points touched by wheat were as follows: July, $1.02%; September, $1.03%; De- cember, $1.03 a new high record. HAVE RIGHTS OF RAILROADS Interurban Lines Held to Be Common Carriers. St. Paul, May ?".—Under a decision filed by the supreme court the inter- urban lines of the Twin City Rapid Transit company are defined as com- mon carriers, they have the right of eminent domain and further are not subject to the franchise powers of in- corporated cities and villages. By the ruling of the courts the Min- neapolis and St. Paul Suburban Rail- way company is authorized to con- demn a right of way through the vil- lages of Ixcelsior and Minnetonka and it is not to be hampered by the lack of a franchise from these two towns, which it has been refused. In this respect it enjoys practically the same rights as the steam roads, which the lower court, Interpreting the revised code, claimed it did not have. FAVORED BY. ROOSEVELT. Appraisement of Railroad Valuations by Federal Commission. Chicago, May 18.—A dispatch to the Record Herald from Tacoma, Wash,, says: “President Roosevelt told me that he is considering advocating the ap- pointment of a commission by con- gress to appraise the value of railroad properties in fhe United States,” said B. S. Grosscup, general Western coun- sel of the Northern Pacific railroad and leading corporation attorney, on his return from the East. “The atti- tude of the president is different from that of Western state legislatures in that he is not In favor of estimating mevely “the cost of reproducing the rallroad properties. Roosevelt is will- ing to give the railroads allowance for the energy, enterprise and patronage entering into the business.” MISSING SINCE 1874, Railroad Bonds Worth $116,740 Dug Up at Cleveland. Cleveland, May * .—Erie railroad bonds worth $116,740 and $575 in blackened gold coins were found when the rusted tin box which Contractor B. ‘W. Hollingsworth recently unearthed in the ruins of the century old Ohio City inn was forced open. The original owner of the treasure was George C. Moran, who mysterl- ously disappeared in 1874. A heap of tharred bones, found several days be- fore the box was dug up by Hollings- worth in a bricked in flreplace, now seems to substantiate the theory held that Moran was murdered. The Erie Railroad company made a systematic effort to locate the bonds during the three years from 1876 to 1879. Practically every newspaper in the country carried advertisements for them. Originally they had a par value of $40,000. Accumulated inter- est, dividends and market rises have brought their value up to $116,740. Because he was to have all the ma- terial in the bullding as compensation for tearing it down Hollingsworth, the contractor, claimed the entire con- tents of the box. He finally, however, compromised with the present owner of the property and divided the gold with him. The bonds have been placed in the custody of United States Judge Tayler, who will hold them for five years while search is being made for Moran’s heirs, if any are living. If none are found the bonds will revert to Hollingsworth. NOW MAYOR IN NAME ONLY Schmitz Relinquishe§ Govern- ment of San Francisco. San Francisco, May .—The Call says: From this time forward Eugene Schmitz will be the mayor of San Francisco in name only. He has re- linquished the reins of government to a committee of seven, representing the five gieat commercial organizations of the city. Beginning with today the city is under the control of men whom the-mayor selected to administer the city’s affairs upon the lines demanded by the public. The capitulation of the mayor is complete. He has transferred in writing his authority, tantamount to a power of attorney, to the follow- ing citizens: F. B. Anderson, F. W. Dohrmann, Percy T. Morgan, F. W. Van Aicklen, Louis Rosenfeld, C. H. Bentley and Charles W. Slack. On the committee of seven is a rep- resentative from each of the following commercial bodies: Merchants’ Ex- change, chamber of commerce, board of trade, Merchants’ association and Manufacturers and Producers’ asso- ciatien. Another Alleged Confession. San Francisco, May 3.—Dr. Joseph Poheim, a former police commissioner of this city, has, it is said, furnished Detective William J. Burns details of Mayor Schmitz’ alleged action in com- pelling Poheim to vote on the matter of the French restaurant licenses in order that Abraham Ruef could extort from the proprietors of these resorts a fee of thousands of dollars to insure the resorts protection. Schmitz Declines to Talk. San Francisco, May . .—Mayor Schmitz was at his office as usual, but declined to see any one in relation to the confession made by Abraham Ruef that he had given the mayor $50,000 as his share of the money al- leged to have been paid by the United Railroads company to secure trolley franchises. MUST PAY TARIFF RATES. Rallroads Cannot Discriminate in Fa. vor of One Annther. ‘Washington, May ..—An impor- fant circular, issued by the interstate commerce commission, contains an administrative ruling which is of spe- cial interest both to the railroads and to the shipping public. In this ruling “the commission expresses the opin- lon that under the law a carrier or a person or corporation operating a rail- road or other transportation line can- not, as a shipper over the lines of another carrier, be given any prefer- ence in the application of tariff rates on interstate shipments. In other words one carrier, shipping its fuel, material or other supplies over the line of another carrier, must pay the legal tariff rates applicable to the same commodities shipped by an in- dividual. The commission suggests that there may be some instances such as the movement of needed fuel in which, in order to keep the trains or boats moving, such traffic could be given preference-in movement without creating unjust or unwarranted dis- crimination.” It is said there probably is not a railroad in the country that has to pay the regular tariff on any of its supplies from the initial point to the point of destination. This is especially true of coal used by the railroads for fuel purposes. Coal is shipped to a given point from the mines for a rail- road at a rate far below that which a dealer at that point would have to pay In freight charges. The commis- sion holds, in effect, that this is dis- crimination and that the railroad must pay the same tariff as the individual. “TU_NNEL UNDER EAST RIVER Trains Will Be Running in Tube by Aug. 1. . New York, May 4”.—Another of the tunnels that are to connect the island of Manhattgn with adjacent territory was nominally completed late Thurs- day when workmen broke through the last crust of rock and dirt in the north tube of the Belmont tunnel, which runs from New York to Long Island City. Some of the engineers and workmen soon afterwards walked through the tube from shore to shore. Announcement was made that this tube would be ready for trains by Aug. 1. The boring of the tunnel has taken two years. It was a difficult engineer- ing job, the bore running more than 100 feet under the East river. Quite a number of workmen lost their lives during the progress of the work. The tunnel is to be connected with the Grand Central station in New York. Auto Racer Instantly Killed. Dieppe, France, May i%—Albert Clement, son of the well known auto- mobile builder, was killed instantly during & run in preparation for the Auto club grand prize, which ig to be competed for July 2. : thrown out of his automobile at a sharp turn and sustained a fracture of the skull. His chauffeur escaped with comparatively slight injuries. Tannery Strike Settled. Kenosha, Wis,, May .A—The 1,200 employes of the N. R. Allen Sons’ tannery who quit work three days ago have returned to their former places. The men will receive the same scale of wages as paid by Milwaukee tan- neries. The settlement of the trouble was effected by Mayor James Gorman, BOWSER QUITS CIGARS Stops Smoking Just to Prove to Friends He Could Do So. REFORM DOES NOT LAST LONG Resumes Acquaintance With the Weed Before One Day Had Passed—Gets Into a Passivn and Tries to Kill the Cat For Grinning at Him. [Copyright, 106, by P. C. Eastment.] The Bowser family had finished din- ner and been seated in the family room for half an hour, he with his newspa- per and she with her book, when he ut- tered a chuckle and queried: “Mrs. Bowser, do you observe any- thing unusual this evening?”’ “No, I hadn’t. What s it?” she re- plied. “You haven't missed anything?” “I can't say that I have. The cat is here, as usual, and the clock hasn't stopped.” “You are not a very observing per- son. What do I invariably do before sitting down to read the paper?” “Ah! You are not smoking. You can’t be out of cigars?” “There are two or three boxes around, I believe.” “Is it a bet?” “Mrs. Bowser, man is essentially a creature of habit. If he limped for a month he would get into the habit of it. Smoking, drinking, chewing and such things are simply habits. Any sort of man can acquire them, but it takes a ,IE 59 Wl Z 7 7*';‘?&“ e THERE WERE THE USUAL NUMBER OF CATS ON THE FENCE. man of stamina to break off, even though he will tell you that his health is imperiled by continuing on. I have been smoking for twenty years. It hasn’t done me any hurt or any good. At any time during those twenty years I could have broken off had it been necessary. I have always felt a su- preme contempt for the poor fish worms that felt they couldn’t.” “But have you at length decided to stop smoking?” she asked. “For one solid year.” “But why, if it was not hurting you?’ Why He Stopped. “Well, Green came into the office this afternoon on some business. He-is a] great smoker. I hadn’t seen him for three months, and I was amazed to find him a total wreck. Smoking has done it. When I asked why he didn’t give it up, he frankly replied that he couldn’t. He was also frank enough to say that he didn’t belleve I could. Two or three others agreed with him, and I finally got a little put out and told them that I would stop for a year. Yes, stop it is. Not another puff for twelve long months.” “Do you think you can do'1t?” asked Mrs. Bowser in doubtful tones. “Do I think so? I know so. Have you seen any of the namby pamby about me? When I said I would do a thing, haven’t I always done it? I've been in the habit of smoking at least ten -cigars per day, but I'll knock it sky high and never wink over it.” “It will be something almost herole if you can. Will the extra money that you save come to me?” “Bvery cent of it. You can figure on about $4 a week increase in your pin money. Understand, however, I'm not glving up this habit because smoking hurts me or to save the money. It's Just to show the world that I've got the necessary backbone.” “I see. What are you chewing?” “Just a little bit of lcorice root. It isn’t because I want to smoke, but I happened to pick it up, you know. By the bye, I've got to run around to the drug store and get a corn plaster.” Mr. Bowser left the house, but he didn’t go to the drug store. He went to the grocery instead, and he pur- chased cloves, clnnamon, cardamom seeds and' two or three other things. He kept his mouth full on the way home, but had hardly entered the house ‘when the vision of an eminent citizen smoking a cigar while he read the evening paper rose up before him, and he uttered a groan without realizing it. “Is it colic?” innocently asked Mrs. Bowser. Thought It Colic. “Colic? What the devil would I be doing with a case of colic? I never had it in my life.” He sat down and picked up the pa- per and read for five minutes. Then he entered the library and look- ed to see if the dictionary was in fts usual place. It was, and he returned and sat down end slyly stuffed four or five cloves Into his mouth. The cat looked at him in a sarcastic way, and he made a men- tal note of it. ~UE course nor, but 1 liaye no desies to kil He then arose and walked down the ! hall to the hatrack to see if ‘his hat | ’ G i , § | Y say about feeding your hair with Ayer’s a clgar l} F ot:x;d??"eve Loom o D On t ta r ve Hair Vigor, the new kind? Heknows was there. It was, and he wandered back and looked out of one of the rear windows and swallowed the cloves and substitut- ed some orange peel. Mrs. Bowser was immersed in her book and pald no heed, but he turned to find the ecat looking at him with a grin on his face. “By thunder, Il break your neck for that!” he exclaimed. “Why, what do you mean?”’ asked - Mrs. Bowser as she whirled around. Becomes Uneasy. “Oh, I was just thinking of some- thing and spoke my thoughts. I be- lieve I will walk down to the corner and see if that hoiise with the bay ‘windows is for rent yet.” “What do you care whether it is or not? You don’t want to rent a house.” “I might want to sell it to some one who was looking for a house, you know.” Mr. Bowser went. The house on the corner was still for rent. On the way down he felt an aching void. . On the way back he felt two of ’em. A pedestrian who was smoking a good cigar passed him, and he leaned up against a shade tree and swore. As he stood at his gate he remember- ed how good the taste of a cigar was on the hind platform of a street car in the morning, and he kicked himself three times before going into the house. He devoted five minutes more to the paper and then said he guessed he’d go downstairs and see if the furnace was all right. He found the furnace in the same old spot, and it looked as natural as an old hat, The water pipes were also all right; also the walls. “If you are going to find it too hard to stop smoking I'd give up the idea,” observed Mrs, Bowser as she came up- stalirs. “Who's finding it hard to stop?” he demanded, with considerable heat. “I haven’t the slightest desire to smoke. If the president offered me a dollar cigar 1 wouldn’t touch it.” “Well, that’s certainly herolc in you. The people around here won’t believe you have so much stamina.” Had Mouth Full of Cinnamon. Mr. Bowser had a mouth full of cin- namon and didw't reply. He went up- stairs instead. He went up to see if all the bedrooms were in their usual places. and forced himself to sit down for as much as ten minutes. Then he got up to go down the hall and see if any one had stolen the front door off its hinges. Mrs. Bowser heard him sighing and groaning, and when he wandered back she said: “I'm tired tonight and want to go to bed early. You can sit up as long as you want to.” Your Hair What do you think your doctor would that it feeds, nourishes, strengthens.

Aver The cat grinned and chuckled at the | words, -but Mrs. Bowser was hardly upstairs when that feline was flying for his life. He got away by a narrow margin, and then Mr, Bowser rushed down to the dining room, where he i knew he had left a big black cigar that morning, and, lighting it with trembling hand, he made a sneak for the back yard. The moon rode high, and there were the usual number of cats on the fence, but he minded them { not. He simply sucked and puffed and went “Yum, yum,” down in his stom- ach and said to himself: « “How on earth I was ever such a fool as to tell Mrs, Bowser that I was | golng to stop smoking I can’t under- stand.
