CHICAGO 31ARKET.
CnicAOo , March H.-Speclal [ Telegram to
the HEK.J Wheat market was dull to-day
and speculative values tended downward ,
though no serious break In prices occurred.
Moro deferred futures were especially weak.
The muscle under May gave to that month
the appearance of finnuess. Itangc was S'-'c
at the opening , 82 fc high , 81c low , and Ste
at the close. Calves w ere quiet nd seaboard
and western markets exhibited signs of
weakness. The wheat trade of the whole
country Is clinging around the neck of Chicago
cage Slay Instead of trying to stand alone.
The prevailingbciJcf i ! t there Is a "deal" In
May has induced quite a number 6f oonsvrV *
atlvo commission merchants to dlsr.ouraco
further dealings In that month and to clear
tlielr hooks or trades In May as far as pos
sible. The general run of operators have not
yet become accustomed to the later months ,
and a considerable percentage of those who
had been Induced to withdraw from May are
watching the market and doing nothing.
Scalpers , of course , continue to trade In May
and tlpiro Is yet considerable business being
done in the way of closing up open
trades In that month , but the May
deal seems to bo rapidly degenerat
ing Into a gamble. Statisticians were
figuring on the visible to-day and the pre
dictions of the decrease for tlio week vary
from 1,000.000 to 1,500,000 bushels. With one
day yet to hear from , seaboard clearances ex
ceed 1,000,000 bushels , which Is half a million
less than last week , while western points re
ceipts exceed those of last week by a quan
tity nearly as large. Shipments from west
ern and Interior points are also heavy , showIng -
Ing that the railroads are encouraclng a free
movement of uraln before the Inter-state
commerce bill goes Into effect. Corn was
moderately active and despite the efforts of
local houses to bull the market It saeccd
quite heavily , leadlmt futures closing & ( < 5J c
below last night. Trading was mainly of the
Bcalplnif sort. The offerings also Included a
good deal of the long corn bought several
days ago by the provision crowd. The tine
weather nnd estimates of 310 cars for Monday
lielpoi matnrlally to weaken values. A linn
here controlling thirty elevators lu NcbrasKa
reports enormously laue deliveries from
farmers' hands this week and with western
railroads offering very low rates from Mis
souri points It is regarded as certain that
largo amounts of corn will bo shipped during
the next twenty days that has been sold for
May delivery. The trade be.ro at any rate
Is . basing Its calculations upon a
movement of this kind. May opened at
41c , sold off to 40 > < c and closed
at 4040jc. Oats ruled dull and a shade
lower. Mav pork remained Immovable to
day , but a big drop In lard and a moderate
decline in ribs occurred. Themarkotopened
stnadv at about the closing range for the
preceding day , and no great desire to trade
was shown in any quarter. Tlio offerings of
lard increased , however. A few thousand
tierces of lard were dumped and the bears
seized upon the opportunity presented to
make a drive at tbo market. May was forced
down from S7.M to (7.5Qi and June from
S7.1KJ to 7.55. May closed weak t the bottom
and J line at S7.rX ) . May ribs declined sympa
thetically from SS.42X to SS.17K , reacting to
8 35. again dropping to 3S.17H and closing
at S8.20. A rattling trade was done In ribs
and lard.
Ct'itti , 2:20 : p. tn. There was llttlo doing
ou thu curb and a generally easier feeling
prevailed on the whole llht. May wheat was
quoted at 8lc and May corn at 40'fc. Lard
sold at 57.50 for May , which was 2 c off.

UHho HICK. | STOCKS. Stocks broke badly
gain to-day , Kichninnd Terminal being tbo
veikost spot In the whole market. Expecta
tion nt n bad batik statement aud the possi
bility ot a light uiouoy market in the ue.tr
future caused very heavy sullliiR of tlm cn-
tln < llsi by timid ho'.drr * . The selling of
Itlchmond Terminal was especially heavy , be
cause all the schemes which lud been sprung
by the Sully-Briw cro d to bull tluldtocl :
nud enable the pool to unload on the public
liad failed. It was feared tlmt In thu event
of high rates fcr money there would bo a
criMid collate which might carry Ulchmoud
Terminal down 10 to 20 per cent , Twostrong
DO ints In the market were New Encland and
cottonseed oil. New England was particu
larly elastic , rallyln ; ; quickly from any tcm-
jwrary depression. Tim ecaeral list was
luoru or less atfcctfd by the drive at Uich-
round Tirmlnal and a drop of K to Jf per
cent had been secured before noon. When
tlm batik statement wa announced thafcel <
Inc IIM ! apparently steadied , and a decrease
of only l.Sgl'.OOO ' In the reserve was not re-
giirilcil a * especially unfavorable , particularly
tultils decrease was entirely du to the de-
creav In t prvlc. Cotton seed oil mas put up
at thf np-nlnt : 2 per cent by a Chicago pool ,
composed of Armour's following. Tlio strike
on : iio leased lines of the Erie company was
represented to be growjcg worsf , and the In-
WCM I&M It nouldboou extend to
the entlio Erie system , At noon the market
was quiet and rather lirrri , sales to that hour
aggregating 159,000 shares. The market Im
proved during the closing hour , Itlchmond
Terminal gaining ; 1 * < per cent. The story
was tliat part of the Ulctimond Terminal
crowd had sold out , but that the stock which
came on the market was promptly taken care
of by the other members of the pool. The
statement of the earnings of the Heading
road for February , published to-day , showed
on increase of 8300,000 ojer the same month
last year , and the steadiness of the stock ,
around 3-j was thought to indicate quiet buyIng -
Ing by Insiders. The closing rally was a sur
prise to room traders and caused rather free
coverings , The total sales were about 300,000
shares.

THE LOSTHEIRLOOM.
A Story ProvIiiK Hio rutlllty of Cir
cumstantial Kviilcncc.
New York Times : A singular story
comes from an tip-town Hat Koing to
provo tin ) futility of circumstantial evi
dence. A well-known ci'ntlcman lias
apartments m a desirable locality. He
has means salllcicnt to gratify luxurious
tastes and ju along life's rourt comfort
ably. His domestic habit is to partially
dress in tlie-nioriiing and open the windows
dews of hisi sleeping rooms for ventila
tion , while jiBldrs > s luocliu anil reads
his paper inuanuthcr apartment. Mean
while the attendant comes and "makes
up" his dre { ini : room for the day.
Ono in whom ho I UK I the greatest con-
tidonco recantlv left his service to better
her ciiiiditrdn. Her departure was so
sudden that ( in the emergency the
vacancy wtu Jilled without ordinary
consideration as to the applicant's quali
fications or rdMmmundations. Unfortu
nately her ptrsonal appearance was not
calculated tp impress her employer
favorably , aikllc instinctively distrusted
lier from theidly site camu. However ,
ho discovcrtdlnothiur ; to justify his
suspicions U : 4. abe was untruthful or
diblionust.
The other niorninz he received a most
violent shod , which for a brief period
threatened ( rlcf lo the now chamber
maid. Whlh the gentleman was indul -
hi in Ids eatly siesta tlio thought Hashed
across his mind that hu had left u diamond
mend collar-Dutton lyine on his urcssin < r-
caso. and tint the sinstur-lookiug maid
would be torepted to appropriate it if iu
a poculativehiood. Just then bo heard
her enter Uie bedroom to do her morning's
work. His first impulse was to rusli m
and snatch temptation from tier view ,
but on a second thought ho made up his
mind to put kor to thu test , he said to
himself : "If her evil genius prompts
the girl to tae the precious articlewhich
I prize as an' ' heirloom , it will go hard
with her. Nobody else can have stolen It
but her , if it's missing , uud there will be
no trouble recovering the property and
proving her the thief by clrcumstanllal
cvidcnoo. " The maid seemed unusually
slow in making up the room , and the
time dragged heavily on her employer's
mind. All things have an ending , aud in
duo course the girl tinislicd her work and
went out , signaling her departure by
slamming thu door. The gentleman
waited H few minutes lest she should return -
turn , and then , concluding tliat she
would not , hu leaped to his feet and
bolted for the bedroom.
Was the diamond collar button gone ?
No. But the eight that met the owner's
gaze brought him to a sudden halt. As
he reached the threshold n frightened
monkey skipped nimbly off the dressing-
case with thu collar-button , ar.d spranir
to the wiudow-alll , evidently the way by
which tlio grimacing little thief had en
tered. Ho gave one glance at the human
occupant of tlio room , and disappeared
down the side of the building in the manner -
nor and with the speed peculiar to his
kind. Thagcutli'jutn purstit'd as far as
ho could go , and called vainly to tlio
monkey to come back with the priceless
button. The sparkling diamond appar
ently had a ( actuation for the four
lugged thief , and , liKca slirowd robber ,
it caught his eye when he climbed into
the room , and he grabbed it without
looking for other treasures ou the prem
ise.
It turned out afterward that tlio
monkey was a pet of ono of the neigh
bors. It was caught after n long chase ,
but the diamond collar button has not
been found yet. There is a suspicion
that the thief swallowed it , or put it in
pawn as sneaks are given lo doing when
they want to got rid of their boodle. Not
even the pawn ticket can be found , and
tnS Donkey stands a good chance _ of
being Kidnaped and CUtVSJs 91'en ' , The
gentleman who mourns the loss of his
heirloom has more faith in human nature
now than ho had before this experience ,
nn-l often says he wishes tlio sinister-
looking chambermaid had taken the
diamond when she had the chance.
The Uses of Klcctrlclty.
Hoston Herald : "Electricity and Some
of the Tilings Which can Be Done With
II , " formed the topic from which Mr.
William J. Hammer , manager aud elec
trician of the Kdison Electric Light com-
uany , delivered an interesting and novel
lecture at the Christian Union hall , illus
trated by many entertaining exhibitions
last evening. The stage was literally
covered with dynamo * . , batteries , re
ceivers , distributors , and a wide range of
mechanical appliancesas ( yell as a piano ,
drum , toy balloon , and Christmas tree , all
indicative of tlio wide range which the
lecturer promised to cover.
As a prelude to the lecture a piano solo
was played by Mr. 1. II. K. Dowucs upon
an electrical piano , which , by means of
an extra set of hammers connected by
wires with a powerful battery , produced
a long tone as each note was .struck , the
whole effect resembling the playing of an
otgan or : i stnug orchestra. The lec
turer opened by illustrating the several
methods of producing electricity by
means of chemicals , friction , dynamos ,
magnetic radiation. Power for conduct-
in" ; the experiments was derived from thu
Edison central station at the rear of Park
theater , and tlio novel combination of a
light and power producidg device in con
nection with the running of a sewing
machine was received with interest and
approval. In the running of a machine
an Edison dynamo and a Sorague trener-
orator were used. A light turning lattio
was also successfully run by a bprague
machine.
At this point Mr. Hammer read a tele
gram from President Johnson , of the
Kdison company , refuting the reported
lunacy and feeble condition of Mr. Edi
son. Tlio lecturer did not claim for Mr.
Edison the origin of incandescent light
ing , Messrs. Storr & Kins having pat
ented such a lamp in 1810. Mr. Hammer
described at length the various kinds of
incandescent light , with special refer
ence to the assumed superiority of tlio
Edison patents. The first arc light , re
marked Me. Hammer , was devised in 1802
by Mr. Humphrey Davics in England ,
and has since been undergoing constant
improvements. A class tube of German
manufacture was utilized to demonstrate
electric discharges , which suggests that
the aurora boreali.s phenomena are but
the demonstrations of electrical dis
turbances. A set of variously colored
incandescent lamps attached to a balloon
was shown as being a valuable ucvico
for signal systems in times of war. Gun
bores can also be illumined and investi
gated by the use of the incandescent
light , as was demonstrated by a huge
papier macho tube in the smaller end of
which a tiny Him was placed.
An amusing exhibition of the possibili
ties of the Edison phonograpli was next
given by the lecturer , who talked ,
laughed nnd spouted poetry into the
machine , and afterward imitated vari
ous birds and animals. The sounds were
afterward reproduced by the machine
with remarkable fidelity , to "the delight
of the audience.
A perfect roar of continuous laughter
was evoked when , after singing into the
machine the original foil being again
used a perfect babel of sound was
emitted. A Christmas tree connected
with an electric motor was set to revolv
ing , and so arranged as to be illuminated
by variously colored lamps alternately.
Goldfish attached to the end of an incan
descent wire were set to swimmingabout
in a globe , and were brilliantly illumi
nated , though not as perfectly as was
hoped by the lecturer , owing to the pre
mature burning out of the lamp. The
adaptability of incandescent lamps to the
practice of dentistry and surgery was
also shown. As proving the slight dan
cer from fire pertaining to the in
candescent light , u lighted lamp was
wrapped by the lecturer in a handker
chief , and btoken into atoms by a sharp
blow , without damage lo the handker
chief. This was possible , because the
instant the glass was broken the rush of
oxygen immediately nuouehed the light ,
and , in fact , shattered the filaments of
carbon in small particles. A number of
electrical toys and a sample of thn Edi
son electric meter were next exhibited ,
and the entertainment concluded with a
"dark seance , " during which a big white
skull bobbed UD out of a box , a drum tat
too was beat and all sorts of strange
sounds were emitted by tlio several elec
trical appliances.
Great Incomes from Novel Wrttlnc.
Writing on "Tho Profits of Novel
Writing , " in the March Cosmopolitan ,
Mr. William Westall , the well-known
English novelist , baj's :
It may be said that these instances con
flict with the opinion I have already expressed -
pressed as to the ditliculty of getting
books published. On the contrary , they
confirm that opinion. Getting'books'
is ono thing , getting them sold Is quite
another. Little as Trollope made by his
lirst literary ventures , ho probably made
moro than his publishers. They were
not a success because the public refused
to buy them , and if Trollope bad not
b&on a man of dogged resolution he
would have given in long before the tide
turned. It by no means follows , how
ever that every ono who perseveres with
equal resolution will bo equally successful ,
or , indeed , achieve any success at all ; for
though by practice a man may acquire
the knack of writing readable English ,
no amount of perseverance , without im
agination will make a novelist.
It is true that some writers appear to
succeed at tlio first attempt. Like By
ron , they waken and find themselves
famous. Ihese instances are , however ,
very few , and when careful inquistion Is
made it will generally be found that there
was previous preparation and that suc
cess was preceded by failure. Charlotte
Bronte sprung at a ( > ound into the lirsl
rank of living novelists ; but her great
natural gifts has been assiduously culti
vated for years. From her very child
hood she had been studying thu art ol
fiction and wriUti works of imagination
"JO-HE'
The above Is the name of a MAGNETIC OIL , which flow * from the rock * In Texis ,
and that , I confidently lHe l > e possesses more REAL MERIT AS A CURATIVE
than ALL OTHER REMEDIES. I believe the people of Iow and Nebraska will
agree with me in this nftr having tested its MAGICAL HEALING POWERS.
But to expect you to endorse the above in full without first having used itjoursclf , or on
some ol your fiitntU , would be presuming too much , so alt I ask'is that you carefully
readover _ the evidence submitted herein , and test the virtues of "Jo-He" for yourselves
and if it does you good , tell it to your friends , it no good TKM. IT. THE TRUTH is WHAT
WK WANT.
I subjoin a few extracts from letter * receiveJ , also a few testimonials. Read care
fully and write to any ol these parties enclosing a stamp for reply , and learn what they
will say.
Allow me to say In conclusion that I have the general ag ncy for Iowa and Nebras
ka for a term of ten 5 ears , and shall make Omiha my home lor that time , so tliat all will
have an opportunity to test the merits or demerits of King "Jo-He. "
The distressed who are too poor to pay full price for'this GREAT CURATIVE , will on
proper vouching be allowed a reduction of one-half the regular price.
I bcllcve in Jo-He and wouldn't offer a can of it for sale if I did not.
