CHICAGO. Nov. 2. If attention had not
been forcibly called to the alarmingly poor
prospect for a crop of winter wheat next
Benson the market for that artlclo would
probably luivo closed a good' deal lower
than It did today. As It WU8 the Decem
ber option showed aio decline nt the fin
ish. Favorable Argentine crop news , largo
northwest receipts nnd additional ruins east
of Inn Mississippi were among the weaken
ing 'factors. Corn was weak early , but
closed unchanged. Data wna a shade lower
at the close. 1'rovlnlons closed 5o lower for
pork and ribs and unchanged for lard.
Wheat started weak at from 83c to
83c for December , about ' ,4o below the
closing prices of the day before. The ten
dency during the greater part of the fore
noon was toward a further break und that
woa made easy by the dullness of trade.
About an hour und a half from the openIng -
Ing December had got down to O.V/ic. Chicago
cage rcui'lptM were 23G cars. Minneapolis
and Huluih received 1,018 cars against 937
u xvcek ago. Liverpool quotations for fu
tures were favorable to the bears , but Cali
fornia wheat on the spot there was Hid
higher than It closed the day before. Fu-
tiacH oputied from ? id to 7d per cent
lower , A report from St. Louis sold live
mills had closed there , the reason given
being that they could not sell their Hour
at a prollt based on present prices of wheat.
Argentine crop news continued to be of Its
previous fnvorablo complexion. Further
mliiH Imvii fallen throughout the drouth-
otrlckcn district catit of the Mississippi and
u material Improvement' In the pasturage
und winter wheat prospects Is looked for.
All this was known before the opening und
wan responsible for the weakness shown
durltiH tin ; morning. The llrr.t matter of a
clearly bullish enough bhnrnctur to arrest
th strong downward tendency wits the re
port In the Orange Jtidd Farmer of the
ucroage and condition 'of winter wheat as
It stood October 23 , The report indicated
the worst prospect for a winter wheat crop
next HcnHon ever known ut this time of
year. Kvi-n with this as an Incentive the
market hardly wiggled until buying orders
from the outside came In. That started
the market lip nnd local characters taking
hold December roao to SGMc. Some export
business was done from heru Ifl.CCO bu.
No. 2 spring and 120,000 bu. red winter.
I > ccembcr closed at yrc.
Corn was weak early in sympathy with
wheat , but rallied later. There was some
Belling of long corn on the theory that
clear , cold wi'uther would Increase western
ofterlngs. ThC"o was a good inquiry for
spot corn , but licit mtiih business resulted.
liocelpts were moderate , Cl cars. Til. late
rally In wheat started some sympathetic
covering by corn shorts and all of the
cur'y decline was recovered. December
ranged from 2tVJic to 2Gc and closed at
20-yiC.
After { he first half hour's business In oats
the market waa very quiet with no disposi
tion to do business either way. Early elevator -
vator concerns Hold quite freely nnd with
corn and wheat both lending toward weak
ness this market followed In their wakes.
T'jo recovery In those markets caused
similar action In oals , the market closing
n shade under yesterday's price. Receipts
were 317 cars. DeeombT ranged from 19Vd
© 19Wc to 19n ; closed at lOVWiWiC.
In provisions there was some disappoint
ment over the decrease In stocks , which
were smaller than expected. The market
was weak at the opening and for some
time after on moderate liquidation. English
houses wore peed buyers later and prices
reacted. The cash demand was good , At
the close December pork was fie lower nt
J7.00 , December lard unchanged ut J1.22 ! *
nnd December ribs Do lower ut $1.43.

Tlio great annual conference of the Sioux ,
or Dakota , Christian Indians convened at
Crow Creek , S. D. , September 23 to 20 , 1897 ,
reports the New York Independent. This Is
the location of the first mission station In
Dakota Territory , which was occupied by
Uev. John P. Williamson , D. D. , In 1863. He
Is still living , and was present at the con
ference as senior director. The Sioux In
dians number 23,000 , of whom 5,000 are under
the Influence or control of the Presbyterian
and Congregational churches , who have or
ganized among them thirty-four congrega
tions , with an aggregate membership of 2,000 ,
having Sabbath schools , prayer meetings ,
Young Men's Christian association , Christian
Endeavor and women's mission societies In
efllclent operation. The two denominations
maintain many schools , from the academic to
the parochial grade , In the two Dakotas ,
Montana , Wyoming and Manitoba. This an
nual conference \ composed of delegates from
these scattered churches , schools and mission
stations , with a largo number of visitors.
There were 300 delegates at Crow Creek ,
whllo fully 2,000 persons In all were In
attendance. The prominent Indian speakers
were the Eastman brothers , the Henvllle
brothers and the Frazler brothers ; and the
chief white speakers were the Ulggs brothers ,
Uov. George W. Reeil , Rev. J. P. Cross ,
nnd Rev. John P. Williamson. Ho Is the
eldest and most famous of the living mis
sionaries In this work.
The exercises were all In the wild , bar-
barlc Sioux. They were varied and InterestIng -
Ing from the beginning to the end. Helpful ,
uplifting and strengthening addressed were
delivered by Rev. Messrs. A. L. Rlggs , P. 'B.
Rlggs , J. P. Cross and Dr. Charles Eastman
( Indian ) .
The greatest interest was manifest In the
general discussions. There the Indian orator
shines. Ho Is a born debater. The themes ,
too , were very appropriate and of beneficial
character. How to Increase the interest of
believers in bible study ? What can be denote
to decrease the mortality oP the Indian race ?
Where shall our children attend school ? How
long ? How may the gospel bo moro speedily
brought to bear upon the heathen mind ?
What Dakota customs may bo retained ? Is
the Issue of ratictis a benefit to the Indians ?
These and kindred themes occupied the
hours for discussion on Thursday , Friday
and Saturday. The speeches were brief ,
pointed arguments keen and strong some
times interspersed with sallies of wit and
laughter ; for one ot the signs of advancing
civilization among these Indians Is their
growing ability to laught like whlto men.
Whllo they sat glum , stolid , laughless , there
was little hope for their delivery from the
bondage of barbarism. Now that they can
jest and smile , there Is hc e. Thursday
night the annual meeting of the Dakota
Young Men's Christian association was held
anil , also , the Mission Circle a grand galh-
crlng , and one of the most hopeful features
of the whole work. Wltn the young men
and women of the tribe In careful training
In religious knowledge and for Christian
service there must be permanent and far-
reaching successes.
Of a similar character was the Christian
Endeavor annlverscry on Friday , which was
followed by a stereoptlcon lecture by F. D.
Rlgga , one of tlio third generation of Indian
missionaries In this Dakota work.
Saturday was mainly occupied by sectional
meetings , the missionary societies and the
Woman's union missionary meetings. A
largo auditorium thronged with dark-skinned
Indian women , singing missionary hymns ,
reading excellent pipers on various phases
of mission work , and bringing their gifts to
the feet of King Jesus , Is a grand scene , well
worth a Journey from Boston to Dakota.
The crowning event of this series of rare ,
rich treats always Is the great assembly on
thp , Sabbath.
Sabbath dawned most gloriously. It was a
typical Dakota day. The matchless Dakota
sky was above them In nil plta glory. With
the early dawn there arosa from the whlto
tepees of the Christian Indians the sweet
sounds of prayer and praise. At 10:30 : the
Mist multltuJo came together In the open
air. Indian and whlto ministers Jointly con
ducted the opening services , which were very
solemn ai d Impressive. There , seated upon
the greensward In semiclrclo , more than 1,000
Indians , together with the many whlto mis
sionaries and visitors , devoutly observed teat
sweet , s'mple ERcrament. the Lord's supper
never a moro Impressive ceremony than
when observed thus.
You can't afford to risk your life by al-
lowliv ga cold to develop Into pneumonia or
conaumptlon. Instant relief and a certain
euro are afforded by One Minute Cough Cure
I'oivrr from Cliiilrm ,
Amcng the curious economics developed
by the Incessnnt experimenting of the Now
Haven railroad Is the saving of locomotive
cinders for use as fuel at the electric power
stations. The road has 710 locomotives and
their spark arresters accumulate enough cin
ders to operate four electrical power plants ,
An additional motive Is thus introduced for
so perfecting such arresters and other ap
pliances to prevent the scattering of cin
ders which has been a prolific cauao of forest
and other Rrca , Figures as to the compara
tive cost of saving the cinder * and of ordi
nary fuel for those four power plants are
lacking , but the presumption Is largely in
favor of the cinders.

CATTLE The receipts of cattle looked
small today ns compared with the average
run of late. The mantel as a wftole was In
very satisfactory condition and favorable
to the selling Interests.
The cornfed cattle hero were not very
good , but the market was fairly active and
strong. One bunch oC pretty decent stuff
sold up to $4.75 , but there was nothing
choice to put a top on the sales.
Cows and heifers were In demand at firm
prices and the offerings for the most part
were taken early.
The fresh supply of feeders was not large ,
but there wore quite a good many cattle
Jn the hands of speculators. The market
did not show any material change , but
values were fully steady and If anything
strone on the best kinds. Representative
sales.

Knets Alxiut n Very liiiportiint Irrltta-
tlnii Impleineiil.
A man who hail wondered how the twist
got Into the corkscrew found , ot course , that
It wns put there by machinery , and he
learned also that such improvements have
bean made in this country in recent years in
the manufacture of corkscrews that , whereas -
as formerly the greater part of the corkscrews
used hero wore Imported from Europe , now
nearly all the corkscrews used In this coun
try are made here , and the production
amounts to millions annually , for there are
few articles of more common use.
There is now made , says the New York
Sun , a corkscrew with ine screw part of
steel wire and the handle of wood , a very
respectable sort of a corkscrew , that Is pro
duced so cheaply that ltcan _ be sold at retail
for 5 cents with a very fair margin ot profit.
Corkscrews run. from that up In price.
There are now sold great numbers of cork
screws that are made , handle and all , of a
single piece of steel wire. There Is a tiny
little corkscrew that Is put up with patent
medicines , a corkscrew with every bottle.
This sort of wire corkscrew has for n hanJlo
a little loop or 'hoop ' Just big enough to put
a finger through. It Is a little bit of a cork
screw , but perfectly effective for the use
for which it Is Intended. If one- bought a
dozen bottles of a preparation with which
such corkscrews are packed he would get a
dozen corkscrews , but ho need not 'feat- ' that
ho is getting moro than his share , or that he
ought to return some of them , for they arc
produced at a cost that seems marvelously
small , even when the wonderful results ob
tained by the aid of machinery are taken
Into account.
There Is a corkscrew that Is attached tea
a spoon. With such a spoon there is never
any trouble about getting the cork out ot
the medicine bottle. There are various kinds
of pocket corkscrews. Including the folding
corkscrew , In which the screw part , turning
on a pivot , turns back Into a triangular-
shaped handle. There Is also a folding
corkscrew whoso handle , made In two parts ,
folds down on either side over the screw.
There are corkscrews whose screw part ,
when not In use , Is screwed Into a tube ,
which , passed through an eye at the upper
end of the screw , serves as a handle when
the corkscrew Is used.
There Is a familiar corkscrew that has
around the screw part an attachment that
rests on tha neck of the bottle , In which the
screw turns. By the continued turning ot
the corkscrew the cork Is raised from the
neck of the bottle without direct pulling.
A time-honored corkscrew Is the one with
a 'brush in ono end of the handle with
which to brush off the cobwebs and the frag
ments and dust of wax on top of the cork
when a seal Is broken. Such corkscrews arc
still sold , but not nearly so many of them
as formerly , their disuse being due to the
wide-spread modern use of metal capsules on
various kinds of bottled goods. <
Formerly every bartender pulled corks Just
as evorjbody else did. Now very few pull
corks In that 'manner. Almost every bar ,
and many other places where many battles
are opened , has a cork puller , of which
there are various kinds and styles. The
cork puller Is secured to the bar. It has an
attachment that cuts the wire off the bottle
and one by which the metal cap Is removed.
The neck ot the boWlo Is then thrust Into
a holder and 'by ' a single throw ot a lover
or a half turn on a crank the cork is drawn ,

"Though the confederate army , when Gen
eral Leo surrendered , surrendered many
thousand muskets , " said an ordnance
olllcer of the army to thoVaoh -
ItiBton Star , "I have great doubts
If 100 of them are still in the possession of
the government. In the armories of the gov
ernment In Illinois , MaasacluiBctta and Cali
fornia a few may have been kept , but there
ara but few. The War department haa a few ,
but the wagon loads of them have disap
peared , no ono knows exactly whore. As an
arm the rifles surrendered woio without value
except In a faw commands where they Jnd
secured modern guns , They were hurriedly
and cheaply made generally by contract
work. I can't atate now exactly how many
thousand muaUeto there were , but there worn
at lea.U 30,000 recorded aa having been sur
rendered. My own Idea Is that the most of
them were broken up as valueless , though a
great quantity of Ihcm were sold ns Junk and
scrap Iron , The canuon have also gone out
of existence mrst of them In the same way. "

There are 4,600 miles of railroads In New
Jersey , which has , relatively , the largest
railroad mileage in the country , and to this
fact , says the Now York Sun , Is due , in
constdcrablo measure , the material prosper
ity the state has enjoyed , The running
expenses of the state are about $2,000,000 a
year. The railroads pay rather more than
halt the total expenditures of the state , ami
without this tMiirco ot revenue ti would be.
necessary to impose a direct tax. The rail
roads paid Into the state treasury last year
fl,10S,7Sn , out of n total public revenue for
state purposes of $2,072,000. Toward this tola !
the I'emisylvaiilu railroad and its branches
contributed $ .320,000 ; the Jersey Central
mil raid and Its collateral lines , $232-
000 ; the Delaware , Lackawanna and Western ,
$200,000 ; the Rrlo railroad , $93,000 ; the Lc-
high Valley , $ D3,000 ; the Now York , Bus-
quchanna & Western , $38,000 , and the wilier
roads there are , In all , 122 railroads In Now
Jersey $130,000. These Hems were for state
purposes only , the railroads of New Jersey
contributing nearly $500,000 additional for
taxes for local purposes $105,000 by the
Pennsylvania , $50,000 by the New Jersey
Central , $80,000 'by the Delaware. Lacka
wanna & Western. $60,000 by the IJrlo , $10-
000 by the Lehlgh Valley , and the balance by
the other railroads.
The railroads also carry out many local
Improvements at their own expense. Re
cently the tracks of the various railroads
having a terminus In Jersey City have been
rnlsed to obvldto the dangers of grudo erod
ings. This track raising will entail n cost
of several million dollars on the Jersey rail
roads. In Now York a different course
has been followed , and in every case where
tracks have 'been ' raised or lowered the ex
pense of such alteration has been 'borne in
part by the city. Toward the building ot
the railroad lines to the Grand Central nnd
the depression of the tracks north of Forty-
third street the city contributed $500,000 ,
and toward the new Central viaduct north
ot Ono Hundred and Sixth street
the city has already contributed
$7CO,000. In New Jersey , however ,
the railroads pay the expense of such im
provements.
Exclusive of moro than $1,000,000 derived
from the state tax collected from rallro.ids ,
there was last year collected In Now Jersey
nearly $1,000,000 from other corporations In
the form of taxes. The llfo Insurance com
panies paid Into the treasury $13G,000 ,
though there are only four of them char
tered In the state. The gas and electric
light companies paid $40,000 In taxes , the
fire Insurance companies $7,200 , the pipe line
companies $5,000 , the parlor car company
there Is only ono $1,057 , and the balance
moro than $800,000 , was raised from other
corporations upon their capital stock , the
total number ot such corporations in New
Jersey having been , on the 1st of January
last , J.44C. In fact , it would be scarcely
too much to say that the running expenses
of the state of Now Jersey are paid by Us
corporations.

THE STORY.
Anthony Hope's mastery of
witty and inimitably graceful
dialogue , tu well as his wonder
ful skill in the weaving of a dra
matic tale , is admirably dis
played in this now story of ingen
ious , const-uction and sustained
interest. Few ntork'3 , even of
Mr. Hope's , are moro roplcto
with incident , more rapid in
movement , or deal moro pictur
esquely with a group of histori
cal characters than this of "Si
mon Dale. "
The period is ono peculiarly
suitable to the author's gnnlua.
The here moves in the romantic
days of Charles II , and his fortunes -
tunes are entangled with those
of the disKoluto Stuart , and
of Louis XIV of Franco. A
witch's prophecy at his birth
lias foretold that "ho will love
what the King loves , know what
tlio King hides , and drink from
the King's cup. " IIow Simon is
bewitched with saucy NtsllGwyn ,
but is at heart faithful to his first
love ; how ho bourn himself like
an honebt gentleman through all
the court intrigues ; how ho do-
fcndH his lady with u wit and
with u sword point equally keen ,
to win her to himself at last ,
Mr. Hope tolls In u brilliant ser
ies of vividly picturesque scenes.
