THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 21, 1904. 3 ST FEVER HOT Wheat Prices at Chicago Again Go Up. NORTHWEST ALARMS ALL Black Rust Is Still Reported to Be Devouring Crops. ANOTHER STORY TO TELL Reputable Authority Contends Spring Crop Will Be Larger Than a Year Ago, but Traders Can not Be Swayed. r- t CHICAGO MARKET. May wheat Closing last night $1.14 High point today 1.16"A ' Closing price 1.18& ! New September Opening 1 1.11 ' High point .1.11 ! Closing v: l.io CHICAGO. Aug;. 20. (Special.) Every thing was still at fever heat on the Board of Trade this morning, when the .speculators made their first dash at the wheat market Prices took a fresh jump of 2 cents per bushel, immediately, and selling at the higher prices were by no means plentiful. For delivery In May, $1.16 was paid reely for a few seconds, and in that brief time several million bushels changed hands. The source of all the trouble, of course, is In the Northwest, where there is pan demonium In the wheat fields, in which the black rust is devouring the unripe wheat. That, at least, is what the special agents of Chicago commission-houses who ere out in the Dakotas are wiring to their principals. There is another side to the story that cannot at present be heard amid the clamor of the crop killers In the North west. The Northwestern Miller, a re spected authority on matters of the kind, has a different story to tell, In contradic tion to reports that for two weeks have kept the Board of Trade in a turmoil and the country generally In a state of appre hension lest the black rust, so much talked about, should gobble up the source of the people's bread. Thi3 is what the Northwestern Miller has to say: "In certain districts, the early wheat is expected to yield 20 to 25 bushels per acre, but the late wheat only 12 to 15 bushels. From present indications there Is nothing to suggest a change from the prediction made a week ago, namely, a larger Spring wheat crop than last year, with a continuation of present favorable condltioln3.," In spite of such a reassuring state ment, however, made on such a usually reliable authority, the price of cash wheat in Minneapolis this morning was 51.27 a bushel, and the traders on the board here are as eager to buy wheat for delivery next May as if they expected by that time to see it worth $2 a bushel. New Records at New York. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. In today's wheat market, new high records were again es tablished, September selling at 51.16?i, against $1.13 .last night. Wheat had a late break to 51.1354 for September, and it was reported that Min neapolis had dropped 6c a bushel, the cause being further heavy unloading. I-ater. prices rallied. 2c a bushel, closing rather firm. The present markets are so excited and the price variations are so violent that commission houses are de manding 6c to 10c per bushel margin on all trades. London Market Still Unaffected. LONDON, Aug. 20. The wheat market continues to be little affected by the ex citement in America. The price of Ameri can wheat has not advanced since yester day, and remains substantially below the quotations in America. The Indian variety has one up slightly. Russian wheat has not been affected. Minneapolis Market Excited. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 20. Wheat was greatly excited today over reports of rain and hall in the Northwest September touched $L23 shortly after the opening, December reached $L17 and May 51.18. ACCEPTS PE0MSE OF P0BTE. United States Deems Them Sufficient for the Time. WABtLLNUTUjN, Aug. 20. Inquiry at the State Department confirms the Con stantinople advices that Mr. Leishman has taken the method of recording th promises of the Turkish Government to him in the shape of a formal note rcca pltulating those promises, and stating tnat the unitea states accepts them as sufficient for the time and is fully con fident that they will be redeemed. Having saved the principle in this case ct recognition of equal rights for the American citizens in Turkey, it is fully expected here that some time will be oc cupied in settling the details, particu larly as Turkish diplomatic methods are notoriously slow. The department notes with gratification that the permits already asked for by American educational institutions in Tur key have been provisionally granted by the local authorities, enabling them to continue their business; but It will take some time to secure action on the addi tional list applied for, no less than 300 in number. Altogether the State Depart ment officials express their satisfaction with the status of the Turkish negotia tions on this point SCALP REPLACED IS GROWING Remarkable Operation Performed on Girl Will Be a Success. NEW YORK. Aug. 20. Margaret Dougherty, of Rochester, N. Y.. who was almost scalped in an automobile accident August 10, is recovering at a hospital here, after undergoing a remarkable op erationwhich resulted in the replacing of her scalp which was torn from her head. The cuticle already has begun to unite, and the girl's hair shdws such signs of vitality that the success of the operation Is assured. Miss Dougherty fell in dismounting from an automobile in Central Park. Her hair caught in the balance wheel, which had not been shut off, and the rapidly revolving shaft wound it up, bearing off part of the 'scalp seven inches from- her ear and five from front to "back. Sho was carried to the hospital unconscious and later a policeman arrived with the scalp. The doctors quickly prepared the wound, replaced the severed portion, which fitted perfectly when sewed on. Upon removal of the bandage It has been found that the cuticle Is heating and the surgeons are satisfied that the woman will show no effects of her terrible ex perience a month hence.

Mr. Moyer, accompanied by three compan ions, was en route to Newport This is the first time an automobile has ever been known to attempt this trip, and everything went well till the summit of the mountains was reached. Just beyond, the road, by means of a steep and winding grade, rescends 500 feet to the little valley below. In round ing a sharp turn, the chauffeur al lowed the machine to run into the bank on the upper side, threatening to capsize It. Violently twisting the crank. In the opposite direction to counteract this, the auto received an impetus which, be fore it could' e checked, carried It and occupants plunging over the lower side of the grade. The occupants escaped with but slight injuries, but the ma chine, after its wide trip to level ground, 150 feet below, was in no con dition to travel, and the passengers left it there, continuing their journey on foot TACOMA TAKES MOST PRIZES.

It is common in men and young women and all those who work indoors. who do not get enough outdoor air and good oiygen in their lungs. There are too many white blood corpuscles in such cases, and there is often a peculiar sound in the heart, called a murmur, in cases of anemia. This heart murmur is caused by thinness of the blood passing- through the heart The murmur of anemia disappears when the blood regains its natural consistency and richness. It is not heart disease. Sometimes people suffer intense pain over the heart, which is not heart disease, but caused by the stomach. It ia the occasion of much anxiety, alarm and suffering, for which its victim is dependent upon reflex disturbances from the stomach caused by indigestion. In the same way many bad coughs are dependent upon these reflex disturbances of what is called the pneutno fastric nerve. To enrich the blood and increase the red blood corpuscles thereby feeding the nerves on rich red blood and doiria: away with nervous irritability, take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which promotes digestion and assimilation of food so that the blodd gets it proper supply oT nourishment from the stomach. Get as near to nature's way as you can. A medicine made entirely of botanical ex tracts and which does not contain alcohol is the safest Dr. Pierce's Qolden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol or narcotics.

Place, Chicago, 111., member West Side Ladies' Bowling Club, writes: "Now that I have regained my health and strength I am only too glad to tell what cured me. I was a sufferer for years, and although t tried many doc tors and medicines, nothing seemed to hit my case until I took Peruna, and this was only after life had become a burden to me and I was unable to stand on my feet for any length of time. After taking one bottle' I felt much im proved. I kept on taking it until-1 had taken nine bottles, and then considered myself cured. I can now- do my work with ease, and can walk as well as I ever could, and at night feel only a natural tiredness. I sleep the night through, while before I could not sleep longer than an hour at a time. I am thankful to Peruna for my health." Miss Annette Harris.
