The feeling of admiration for heroes of war seems to be innate in the human heart, and is brought to the surface as the opportunity and object, for si" worship presents itself. Among those who proved their •during our Civil War was A. Schiffi of 1(51 Sedg­ wick Street, Chicago. He is an Aus- t ri a n by birth, came to America at the age of twenty, and soon became an American citizen. He was living at Milwau- ke e w h e n the call for v o 1 u nteers came, early in 18(32, and be promptly enlisted in Company A, of the Twenty-sixth Wisconsin Volunteers. In the Army of the Potomac our hero saw much fighting, campaigning in the Shen­ andoah Valley. In the first day's fighting at the battle of Gettysburg, Schiffeneder received a wound in the right side, which afterward caused him much trouble. With a por­ tion of his regiment he was. captured and imprisoned at Bell Island and Anderson- ville, and afterward exchanged. He re­ turned to his regiment, which was trans­ ferred to the array of General Sherman, and marched with him through Georgia to the sea. In this campaign Mr. Sch iff coder's old wound began to trouble him and he was sent to the hospital and then home. He had also contracted catarrh of the stom­ ach and found no relief for years. ' "I happened to read an account of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People about a year ago," he said, "and thought that they might be good for my trouble. I concluded to try them. I bought one box and began to take them according to directions. They gave me great relief. After finishing that box I bought another, and when I had taken the pills I felt that I was cured." « A 8oft Answer. No man is better known or more gen­ erally beloved in the city in which he lives than Prof. Adam Hendershott. His conversation Is quite devoid of bit­ terness. Only once was he ever known to say anything indicating even the slightest trace of ill temper. Traveling townward on a suburban trolley line to call upon a friend, he asked the con­ ductor to transfer him to the city street cars at a certain point. Soon afterward the car stopped, and he was surprised to see outside the very friend he was seeking. He started to leave the car, but the conductor accost­ ed him. "You can't change for your ear here," he said, brusquely. "Go back!" The professor passed him, taking no. notice. "Can't change cars here, I tell you," snapped the conductor again. Prof. Hendershott, deep In conversa­ tion with his friend, merely waved his hand to signify that the car might go on without him. . "Here, you old jay!" cried the man with the brass buttons, angrily; "don't I tell you that you can't change cars at this station?" The good old professor answered with severity: "But I can change my mind at this station, can't if'--oYuth's Com­ panion. * EXACT COPT OF WRAPPER.

Probably at no time in the world's hi»- tory has as much attention been paid to the interior decoration of homes as at present. No home, no matter how hum­ ble, Is without its handiwork that helps to beautify the apartments and make the surroundings more cheerful. The taste of the American people has kept pace with the age, and almost every day brings forth something new ia the way of a pic­ ture, a draping, a piece of furniture or other form of mural decoration. One of the latest of these has been given to the world by the celebrated artist, Muville, in a series of four handsome porcelain game plaques. Not for years has any­ thing as handsome in this line been seen. The subjects represented by these plaques are American wild ducks, American pheasants, American quail and English snipe. They are handsome paintings and are especially designed for hanging on din­ ing room walls, though their richness and beauty entitles them to a place in the parlor of any home. These original plaques hare been purchased at a cost of $50,000 by J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co., man­ ufacturers of the celebrated Elastic Starch, arid in order to enable their num­ erous customers to become possessors of these handsome works of art they have had them reproduced by a special process, in all the rich colors and beauty of the original. They are tinished on heavy cardboard, pressed and embossed iu the shape of a plaque and trimmed with a heavy band of gold. They measure forty inches in circumference and contain no reading matter or advertisement what­ ever. Until Oct. 1 Messrs. J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co. propose to distribute these i plaques free to their customers. Every purchaser of three ten-cent packages of Elastic Starch, flatiron brand, manufac­ tured by J. C." Hubinger Bros. Go., is en­ titled to receive one of these handsome plaques free from their grocer. Old and new customers alike are entitled to the benefits of this offer. These plaques will not be sent through the mail, the only way to obtain them being from your gro­ cer. Every grocery store in the country has Elastic Starch for sale. It is the old­ est and best laundry starch on the market and is the most perfect cold process starch ever invented. It is the only starch made by men who thoroughly understand the laundry business, and the only starch that will not injure the finest fabric. It has been the standard for a quarter of a cen­ tury and as an evidence of how good it is twenty-two million packages were sold last year. Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and tell you about Elastic Starch. Accept no substitute. Bear in mind that this offer holds good a short time only and should be taken advantage of without delay. At the Theater. Fuddy--So you were at the theater last evening? What did they play?

FARMERS HOLDING BACK fOR better Prices. - # Because They Got Good Prices for the L««t Crop, They Are Led to Believe that the Same Good Price* May Again Be Secured. Hoarding the Wheat. Information ghthered by Chambers of Commerce indicates that the visible sup­ ply of wheat throughout the country is at a lower ebb than for several years at this time. The opinion prevails among large grain dealers that farmers throughout the West are holding back their wheat •with the expectation of realjzing better prices than are now offered. It is argued that the prices realized from the last crop have placed them in a position which enables them to hold their grain, which iu former years they were forced to sell almost im­ mediately after harvest. The orders which had been expected from abroad have not materialized. Their absence is explained on the ground that many European countries had expected that in the Spanish war American ports would be blockaded, and in anticipation of this state of affairs, which was not real­ ized. a large supply of grain was laid in. This rush partially explains the high prices which were paid for wheat in the sprmg. It is estimated that there are less than <>.000,000 bushels of wheat in the public elevators of the country, which, in the opinion of the trade, means that stocks are practically exhausted. Of this amount nearly one-half is located at Min­ neapolis, Iluluth and Chicago, with the rest scattered around at seaboard points and in the interior. Some of it is afloat on the lakes, "on passage." as It is called. Last year at this time the stocks availa­ ble amounted to 1»>,7~»0.000 bushels, and in the middle of August, 189(5. they aggre­ gated 45,000.000 bushels. Some six years ago stocks fell as low as 12,000.000 bush­ els on July 1, but were speedily augment­ ed by the supplies of wiuter wheat which generally begin to move from the South­ western States about that time of the year. Up to the present time this move­ ment of new wheat to primary points can­ not be said to have begun. The situation this year is very peculiar. In fact, it is so unique that speculators are puzzling their heads to find some rem­ edy. The situation has its paradoxical side. While the stocks that may be bought and sold to-day, to-morrow or next week are the smallest ever known, scarce­ ly enough to keep the people of the Unit­ ed States in bread five days If they were all to be ground into flour at once, the amount of wheat actually in existence in this country is the greatest on record. This year there is reason to look for a materially diminished foreign demand, while the American yield promises to be much the greatest ever known. Euro­ pean crops are known to be quite good. The latest dispatches indicate that the Russian yield will be about 62.480,000 bushels larger than that of last year, while in place of great shortage in other countries there is prospect of a fair aver­ age yield, at least in A list ro-Hungary, France and Great Britain. Distant coun­ tries are also in better position to spare something for European wants. Though it is by no means certain that this'coun­ try will have enough coru to help largely toward the foreign supply, yet the yheat crop, according to the estimates which , have been found most nearly correct in recent years, will be more than enough to meet even such an extraordinary demand as that of last year, and to fully replenish stocks here and abroad. The overlapping necessities of other countries have drawn heavily upon the American supply since the new' Crop year began. Exports in July, flonr included, were 11,478,951 bushels, and about 12,- 000,000 bushels have gone out already in August. .... It has been estimated by statisticians that the United States this year wifl pro­ duce 400.000.0(H) bushels of winter Wheat and from 250.000.000 to 300,000,000 bushels of spring wheat, a total of from 650,000,000 to 700,000.000 bushels, the largest yield ever noted iu this country. Of this amount the winter wheat has been harvested, and only awaits the consent of the owners to come into the market and so into the available supply. The spring wheat harvest in the Northwest practical­ ly is completed, and in some parts the grain has been threshed out. Perhaps from 50.000,000 to 75,000,000 bushels of the new wheat already have disappeared from sight, inasmuch as they have been absorbed by the flour mills, which were unusually low on stocks this summer, hav­ ing taken profits on their reserves when wheat prices were inflated iu the spring. This, however, leaves over one-half a mill­ ion bushels of wheat in the hands of pro­ ducers nearly six weeks after the winter wheat harvest was completed. This condition of affairs suggests a "corner." with the farmer as the chief in­ stigator. So it is that for once the farm­ er holds the wheat situation in th£ hollow of his hand, and seems to enjoy the em­ barrassment of the speculators, whose profession is dead so long as available supplies are at the present low ebb. Cooftwe* Forgery of the X<etter Which Accused Dreyfus of Treason. Lieut. Col. Henry of the French arjny, who was one of the principal accusers of Captain Dreyfus, killed himself in Paris twenty-four hours after his arrest for for-* gery and perjury. He cut his throat with a razor which he had.concealed in his va­ lise wheu taken to prison. . He had confessed that he forged one oi th? letters upon which Dreyfus was con- vi :ted. The letter purported to reveal secrets of the French Government, aud Dreyfus was accused of being in the pay o" Germany. Henry admitted to the Minister of war that his testimony in the Zola-Dreyfus trials was false. His con­ fession was so complete that 'it virtually upsets the entire case against Dreyfus, and the Government has virtually promis­ ed a j^ew trial. Henry's only attempt to justify his conduct was the statement that he thought the hotlor of the French army required the conviction of ^Dreyfus. Col. Henry was to be tried by court-mar­ tial. Col. Henry \?as attached to the War Department when he helped, by his for­ gery and perjury to convict Dreyfus, and he was one of the prominent witnesses who testified unfavorably to M. Zola dur- ing the latter's sensational trial on the charge of libeling military officials. The victory for Zola is an unqualified one. The French public is already convinced that Dreyfus will soon be free. The Government, although refusing to reopen the Dreyfus case, has kept up a persistent inquiry in secret, and finally obtained evidence connecting Henry with the forged letter. When the proof was sufficient he was brought face to face with the minister of war. and soon made a clean breast of his guilty connection with, the Dreyfus case. The Government is trying to secure more complete e^i' dence against ether army officers who are suspected of complicity with Henry. Major Esterhazy will be retired from the army on account of his' connection with the scandal. During the recent Zola trial Henry ac­ cused Col. I«i^quart of falsifying tele­ grams. A duel followed, in which Henry was wounded. The next scene occurr*»< in the Chamber of Deputies, whefre Col. Picquart proclaimed the letter which Con­ victed Dreyfus a forgery, and as a result was arrested, while Henry's villainy was rewarded by his being appointed Col. Pic- quart's successor in the intelligence de­ partment. It is now evident that Henry forged the letter with" the express object of paralyz­ ing Col. Picquart's efforts to expose Maj. Ksterhazy and to get a revision of the Dreyfus case. The letter was written in bad French, a fact which first led to its being regarded as spurious. TONS OF KLON-^KE GOLD. on the $4,000,000 Worth Arrives steamer-Roanoke. The steamer Roanoke arrived at Seattle with a cargo of .eight tons of gold, valued at nearly $4,000,000. Two millions of this, wealth belongs to the North Ameri­ can Transportation and Trading Com­ pany. and represents the treasure of the Dawson trading post. A shipment of $000,000, consigned to the local assay of­ fice, came from the Dawson branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The re­ mainder is in the hands of 100 of the 500 passengers, who hold from $1,000 to $50,- 000 apiece in gold dust. A battalion of police guarded the vessel. The passen­ gers were searched in an effort to locate $25,000 in gold that had been stolen To Fix Alaska-Canada Line. The Alaska-Canada boundary dispute was discussed by the Anglo-American joint high commission at Quebec Wed­ nesday. All the data requisite for the proper delimitation, of the boundary hav­ ing bene collected by Commissioners Duf- field and King, representing the United Stated and Great Britain respectively, it is said the international commissioners realize the only questions to be now de­ termined are legal opes. Hence a rec­ ommendation will be made that the final settlement of the dispute be left to an in­ dependent tribunal, whose finding shall be»biuding upon both countries. WAh SEEMS NEAR IN CHINA: Imperative Demands Are Made by the British Minister. Authoritative advices received in Lon­ don from Pekiu say that relations be­ tween the Chinese foreign office and the British minister are strained to the point of breaking. Sir Claude Maodonald has intimated that Great Britain will regard as a cause of war any failure on the part of China top observe her wishes. The situation Itetween Chiua and Great Britain has plainly reached the acute stage. TTie question now seems to be how far Russia is encouraging the resist­ ance of China to the British demunds. Sir Claude Macdonald strenuously insists that China shall observe her various en­ gagements with British syndicates to the letter, and demands satisfactory explana­ tions with regard to the Pekin-Hankow -tailway. The British fleet, now assem­ bled at Wei-Hai-Wei, will support the British demands if necessary. On the other hand, there seems to be considerable evidence that Russia will not back China to the extent of war, but will make an amicable arrangement: with Great Brltaiu for a division of the spoils. The foreign office say« that the negotia­ tions which Sir Charles Scott, the British ambassador, is conducting at St. Peters­ burg, for the purpose of defining the re­ spective British and Russian spheres o£ influence in China, are proceeding in a perfectly friendly spirit. RIOTERS SHOT DOWN. Galveston Policemen Quell a Mob of Negro Dock Strikers. The negro 'longshoremen employed by the Mallory line at Galveston, Texas, struck for an increase of 10 cents per hour, and when a special train from Houston arrived with a lot of imported laborers, a mob of 2,000 men, mostly ne­ groes, gathered about the Mallory wharf and tried to get at the newcoriers. Mayor Fly called on the mob to halt. No at tention was paid to him. He fired five shots and two men dropped. The mob then fell back, an ambulance was sum­ moned, and when it arrived the mob agaiu advanced. They were armed with clubs and rocks, and a few had pistols. The po­ lice tried to force them back by clubbing those in front, but it did not avail. The ofliceni were being overpowered when the Mayor ordered them to fire. They obey­ ed and five men fell. Then the mob fle<L Gov. Culberson asked President McKin- ley to order the Galveston regiment for riot duty. K. OF P. OFFICERS CLEARED. iBdeitractlMe Pire-P^oof Brick.
