Mule Life in Market Awaiting Gov
ernment Crop Report Large
Decrease in Supplies on
Passage to Kurope.
CHICAGO, April 5. (Special.) Wheat
nade little headway today in either direc
:ion, although Ma yand July touched
former high points, the latter, in fact, a
i rifle above the previous h'gh point.
There was comparatively little life or
tctlon In the market. The tendency was
to curtail operations because of the holi
day tomorrow and the Government crop
report early Wednesday. Closing prices
liowed an advance for the day of 14
rent for May. July closed practically un
changed. September ,,c lower and De
cember He lower than Saturday's close.
Non-professional interest in the market
was at a very low ebb. In marked con
trast to the activity prevailing a good
part of last week.
Ings Begin Unloading.
Another prominent featxire was the sly
unloading of May wheat by Bartlett
J'atten. who supplied all bidders. It was
the popular Impression that nearly. If
not quite, l.OOO.tXK) bushels of May had
been sold by the leading longs. There
was considerable commission-house sell
ing of early July wheat, principally on
local account. Logan-Bryan & Ktnley
Harrel were prominent. One 'of the sharp
advances late in the session brought
heavy selling by King-Coleman, which
was followed by more or less pit Belling.
European Markets Higher.
There was a range of Just 1c between
extremes In May wheat, practically lc
In July and December and Sc In Sep
tember. Continental European markets
were generally higher. An exception was
a decline of lTe at Buda Pest. Uver
pool closed unchanged to .d higher,
which was counted a poor response to
Saturday's showing here of unchanged
for December 'to l'.c advance for May.
Antwerp advanced lc. Paris Hie for
wheat and IV to lc for flour, and Ber
lin advanced IV.
One of the early features of strength
was the large decrease of 3.S72.0O0 bushels
In supplies on ocean passage. The
world's shipments were a little larger
than expected at 8.464.000 bushels, which
compared with a total a year ago of 10,
10.000 bushels. Primary receipts were
larger than last years at 691.000 bushels,
as against 676.000 bushels.

Toward evening Mr. Frost started out

with his head and face almost buried in
a mudhole. From all appearances he had
fallen in an epileptic lit, to which he was

Must Count in Sundays
SAN FRANCISCO. April 6. Congress
has made no provision for the elimina
tion of Sunday from the count of days
allowed by law in setting a period of
time as an element of a 4egal document
according to a ruling of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals today.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 6. A full
day's hearing, devoted to reading of affi
davits and the hearing of testimony, did
not suffice to determine today whether
or not three attaches of the District At
torney's office and a detective sergeant
were in contempt of court when they
searched the offices of the United Rail
roads March 27. Judge Frank J. Mur-
asky, whose mandate is alleged to have
been disregarded, will grant the attor
neys an hour for argument tomorrow
and then probably will take the matter
under advisement.
"W. H. Metson, who appeared for the
United Railroads, and James M. Hanley
the Assistant District Attorney who Is
accused of having violated the restrain
ing order, each introduced a half dozen
witnesses, but the court. In advocating
progress, intimated upon several occa
sions that portions of the testimony were
entirely irrelevant.
Tomorrow's argument, according to
Judge Murasky's order, will be limited
to an hour.
Affirming that attorneys for the United
Railroads did not comply with all legal
requirements In seeking to prevent the
search, the four officials presented affi
davits denying that the order of Judge
Murasky has been violated and asking
that the proceedings be dismissed. Mr.
Hanley argued that Judge Murasky had
no authority to Interrupt or prevent the
raids.
Detective-Sergeant George F. Mulcahy,
who executed the search warrant upon
which the railroad offices were entered
on March 28, declared that he had not
been served with a copy of the com
plaint while engaged in the search arid
denied that he had heard one of the at
torneys for the corporation threaten any
of his party with- contempt. He
sumed all authority for the search and
his denials were corroborated by the
affidavits of Ray S. Schindler and W. H.
Russell, agents of the District Attor
ney's office.
Mr. Hanley, in his affidavit, declared
that he had not assumed or possessed
any authority over the officers engaged
in the search, but added that, as an at
torney, he advised Mulcahy that he
could not be restrained, as the corpora
tion attorneys had declared.
In addition there was filed an affi
davit showing that the papers issued by
Judge Murasky on March 27 had not
been filed at the office of the County
Clerk, but had been given to an official
at his residence on the evening of the
first raid and filed during the next day.
Mr. Hanley. argued that the restrain
ing order was illegal because it had not
been filed: because It had been issued
on Sunday: because it had not been
signed by a presiding Judge and because
it had not been legally served. In con
clusion he ' declared that Police Judge
Deasy, who issued the search-warrant
upon which the raids were based.
acting within his rights and could not
be restrained in such a manner.
"If any one Is to be punished for con
tempt." said Mr. Hanley. "it should be
myself and no other. I advised these
officers as an attorney, believing that
there was no regularity in the issue of
this order."
Lawyer Is Third Man Connected
With Land Suit to Be Killed.
M'RAE, Ga April 5. Pope S. Hill,
an attorney of Macon, was found dead
in a law office here today, a revolver
in his hand. He came here yesterday
to appear in a case, and today claimed
he had received a threatening note,
and Induced a hardware man to open
his store and sell him a revolver. He
was shot through the eye, and there
were evidences of a struggle. The
Dodge land case, for the trial of which
Hill was in McRae, is one of the most
famous in the state, and three attor
neys connected with It have met tragio
nd mysterious deaths.
The trail of deaths and narrow es
capes in the Dodge land euit began
in 1891. In that year Captain John C.
Forsyth, representing the Norman W.
Dodge estate, was murdered, and after
a six weeks' trial five men were sent
to prison, charged with the crime.
Shortly afterward Captain F. Wil
liams, one of the claimants in the case,
was killed, and for weeks afterwards
four counties were In a fever heat of ex
citement. Besides these deaths, there
were several encounters in which the per
tlcipants received gunshot and knife
wounds.
The Dodge lands cover about 400,000
acres, and since 1882 there has been al
most continuous litigation over portions
of this property. The presence of many
squatters on the land created an element
of risk and caused widespread enmities.

Bonl's Financial Hopes Sent Glim
mering by Paris News.
CHICAGO. April 5. The Record-
Herald today in a special cable from
Paris says:
A bombshell that will Snatter all
the financial hopes of Count Bonl de
tjasieuane is contained In the news
that the Princess de Sagan expects the
arrival of a new heir to the de Sagan
name and the Gould millions some
time in June or July. The arrival of
the de Sagan heir will give Anna
Gould the whip hand over Bonl.
By her father's will, the Princess Is
permitted to leave her fortune to any
child or children she might have. This
places her in the position of being
able to hold Bonl's children's future
inheritance and welfare over his head
to whip him into a less warlike frame
of mind.
Should Bonl persist In his efforts
to estrange the children from their
mother and embitter them against de
Sagan, it is in her power to cut off
the de Castellane fortune for the bene
fit of the coming heir of the de Sa-
gans.
DEEP SEATED COUGH
CURED IN 5 HOURS.
New Home-Made Syrups.
(Cut This Out.)
From Boston Press.
Progress in medical compounds never
ceases, and now it is stated by a prom
inent medical man that any deep-seated
cough or cold on the lungs can be
actually cured in five hours by the
clock. Opium and morphine have been
resorted to in the past, as relief meas
ures. But now it Is learned that the
system must be treated to rid it of in
flammation and congestion. A tonic
laxative cough syrup does the work so
quicklv and thoroughly as to be almost
magical. w nat neretoiore nas taken
weeks to cure can be accomplished in
hours. Get this formula filled or mix
it at home and always keep it on hand:
One-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark.
one ounce compouna essence cardioi
and three ounces syrup white pine
compound. ..Shake the bottle and take
twenty drops every nair nour lor tour
hours. Then take one-half to one tea
spoonful three or four times a day
until the system ts purified and toned
up. Give cniidren jess according to
age. One filling will usually cure a
whole family, as the dose Is small.
A yard of tobacco for fifteen
cents. Cobs are full grown, full made, tull qual
ity, four-inch Havana cigars, rough looking and plainly packed:
You can't smoke anything but the cigar, so we've left off gold bands
and we haven't lithographed the box. We haven't paid for fancy
shapes which would add to the price, without adding anything
to the taste. Nine of them laid on end measure a full yard.
You can buy this full yard of pure Havana,
measured off in four-inch lengths, for 1 5 cents. '
