The market for wheat has not been so brisk as usual for the last few days, owiajr to the declining price in Chicago. Although the greater portion of the wheat has been marketed, there are thousands of bushels of wheat to be marketed in this and adjoining counties. L. M. Beebe is now engaged in put ting down a well, or cistern, at the inter section of Eleventh and Olive streets, to be used aa a reservoir for water in case of ire. It is eighteen feet in depth, ten feet in diameter and will contain about 10 barrels of water. We understand that Mr. Beebe receives $95 for the work; bat we are of the opinion be will not realize a very haadsoaw sum. The hoys of the btass band are feeling jsbilaat ever the eaooaragement they are receiving at the hands of the citi zens of oar town. Heretofore the boys have had a great away obstacles thrown ia their way, aad have met with a great away enscouragements, jet tbey have berae K all, aad by their energy and in dustry have succeeded beyond the ex pectatioas of the most sanguine. We heard a young lady remark the other evening that the band now plays "bully." The people do not approve the expres sion, bat they do the sentiment. We learn that the band will invest the dona tion given them in horns, and will en deavor to make their music still better. Walker Grant Jehaeon shelled corn Monday.

The stranger said he did not have any money, bat gave the young fellow a check for $35, with Max Schubert's signature on it, and told him he would give him some money if he would get it cashed. Cope took it to the Home restaurant, where he was turned down, and then he took it to the First National bank, where it was paid. The check was drawn on the Commercial National bank, and when taken there was found to be a forgery. Cope was placed nnder arrest Friday, bat he told a straight story, and Coanty Attorney Hensley decided that he could not make a case against him, so he was discharged Tuesdsy.

After an illness of about forty-eight hoars, with pneumonia and pleurisy, Edward Hoppen died at the home of his mother, on Friday, Febru ary 21, aged 32 years, 4 months and 2 days. He was born in Golumbus and made this city his home, with exception of a short time he was at Lindsay. In 1898 he was married to Tena Jane Kunizleman, who with a daughter. Marguerite, eight years old, survive him. Funeral services were held at the home of his mother, being conducted by Bev. DeWolf , and were attended by the Columbus Fire department, of which the deceased waaa member. Beginning with Monday morning the local freight between this city aad Grand bland on the Union Pacific was tsken 1 off and the work will be taken care of by, thejBrehaadiseUam'from- OeiabaV A bulletin was sent out the first of the week making the Spalding and Norfolk freight runs every other day, instead of every day. While this may be all right for the Norfolk run, the business on tbe Spalding line is heavy enough for- one train daily, ana sometimes requires the assistance of u helper. In this connec tion it is stated that a motor will be placed in service between Genoa and Albion. Twenty-two years ago the first of February. L. G.

These cases were filed in Judge Rattermau'e court Tuesday and the defendants are Doctors D. T. Mar tyn, sr., and O. D. Evans. Judge Sul livan is assisting the county attorney, under instructions from the attorney general. The railroad company takes the ground that they have a right to issue this transportation to physicians aa part payment for their services. The important business transacted by tbe city council last Friday night was the passing ol tne ordinance raising salaries of tbe city officials. This will not go into effect until after the spring election, when the city becomes a city of the first class. The one change made in this ordinance before its passage was nxing tne salary or the street commis sioner at $3.50 per day, and not to ex ceed $60 per month. C B. Speice filed a complaint in Police Judge O'Brien's court charging Joseph Bumgartner with stealing coal from his sheds.

S Dcar (Jkclk Bobert: I received your letter a few days ago and will now try and write yoa the long letter I promised some time ago aboat oar trip around Cape Horn. On October 12th, 1907. we left Hamp ton Boads for our long cruise to tbe Pacific. We went to sea and did not sight anything of interest until the 16th of the month, when we passed the islands of St. Thomas, Porto Bioo, Culebreta and Santa Cruz, nnd on the following day we passed the islands of Goodelope, Martinique, 8t. Lucia and St Vincent This was a very aloe day's run. In order to give us a good view of the destruction of St. Pierre, the admiral run very close, aad wa could ate where the ruins still were, and where the lava run dowa the mountain in torreete onto the eity, nnd on tbe next morning we sighted the main land of Soath America, aad the island of Trinidad being in sight also, and we steamed into Port of Spain and anchored. The next day we were given liberty nnd went and got our money changed into English coin, snd started out to see the city, which was very inter esting. The eity is of about 60,000 in habitants of English. French, Spanish and East Indian coolies. Tbe coolies are the chief laborers tbey work so cheap that a white man could not live on it. They get about aix pence for nine hours work. These people live in n small town called "Coolie town." Along this street to coolie town is a leper hos pital, where all cases of leprosy aie sent found on the island'. It is n very inter esting sight but not a pleasant one, nnd tbe guides told us that they had patients that had lived there for thirty years with tbe disease. And other places of intercut were the Botanical garden, the Govern ment house and tbe great pitch lake, where all the asphalt comes from. On October 24. we left for Bio de Janerio, and on October 30, at 4 o'clock a. m. we crossed the equator, and on November 4, we arrived at Bio de Jane rio. The harboris the longest and finest in the world, being about sixteen miles long. At the entrance is the great Sugar Leaf mountftin, which is of granite rock and is about 1270 feet high, and several other high peaks. November 7, we were granted liberty nnd went ashore and got our money changed into Brazilian mon ey. Rio is a oity of about 1,000,000 peo ple, about two-thirds being white. The most beautiful street in Bio is tbe Avenido Centerol, over a mile long nnd 125 feet wide, where the finest buildings in the city are found. And here a mac is not allowed to ride in the cars with out a coat and no bundles are allowed to be taken on tbe cars. The fare is from 100 to 400 reia, about 12 to 30 cents in our money, nnd tnere is a beautiful garden there with n row of palms planted abont twenty feet apart .that go straight up in the nir to a distance of 100 or 125 feet. This is tbe wonderful sight of Bio. At night tbe water front lighted up ia a sight to be remembered. November 10, we left Bio for Monti vedio, and had a nice trip, and Novem ber 13, we anchored out about six miles from the city, and in a few days we went' ashore. A tug was hired to take us from the ship to the beach, and we started to see the big city. It has a population of 300,060. The city is clean nnd well kept, but the buildings are' of low structure two and three story buildings, but this place is not so interesting as the others, as not so many can speak the American language. November 19, we left for Pacta Arenes. On this trip we struck n storm, tbe wind came apvery strong and the sea came up over the decks, about 45 feet above the water line, so you can see it was a little rough, and on the 23d, we arrived at the most southerly city in the world It ia about 125 miles from the entrance of the Straits. This is the main port of all the whaling industries. Tbe population is 12,000. November 27, we left for Callao, Pern, and passed close to Valparaiso, Chili, and also struck a storm on thin trip, and arrived at Callao December 5. This is all of any interest so will close for today. SMtaJTe. 4. Miss Susan Bray is spending the week with friends at Grand Island. Wm.
