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.

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

"I see no peace in sight except on con
dition that the packers surrender on un
conditional terms. When the people see
tue report of last night's meeting of the
Federtaion of Labor they will be astound
ed. We have a trump card to play, and It
has been drawn from tho deck."
So said President Donnelly, of the
striking cattle butchers, today, while he
was directing his assistants to go to
East St Louis to meet International
Vice-President Cass E. Schmidt whom
Donnelly will send to Kansas City to
look after the labor situation there.
He declared the action of Mayor Harr
rlson in ousting the strikebreakers from
the housing-rooms in the packing plants
meant quicker success to the strikers.
Not blnce tho strike began has Presi
dent Donnelly seemed so hopeful. On the
subject of action by the Federation of
Labor, he was quiet He simply declared
the report would prove a sensation.
"A National election is coming on," said
President Donnelly. "The labor vote Is
too powerful to be ignored. As soon as I
have seen Schmidt In Kansas City I shall
go to Indianapolis. While I am away I
expect to make several speeches.
"The Mayor's action In declaring the
packers shall no longer house their
strikebreakers Is the hardest blow our
foe has yet received. The packers will
have no trouble getting the strikebreak
ers out of the plants and out of the
yards. We will help them do that, If
they need any help, and will see that the
outgoing crowds are not hurt But as
sure as the Bun rises the strikebreakers
will not be able to go back to their places
of work."
Packers affected by Corporation Coun
sel Toleman's decision, holding that the
employes lodged at the stbekyards must
find accommodations elsewhere, called a
meeting today at Swift's office to deter
mine what action to take. It was hinted
before tho meeting that attempts to abol
ish the living quarters in the packing
plants would bo contested, recourse being
had to the courts, if necessary.

to House Employes.
CHICAGO. Aug. 20. The packers will
apply to the courts for an Injunction to
prevent the carrying out of the city's or
ders that the strike-breakers be no longer
housed in the buildings in the stock
yards. This was decided on at a meeting
of the legal representatives of all tho
packing Arms, save one, that are affected
by the strike.
Agents of the packers hurried about the
yards today reassuring the nonunion men
and rushlmj the work of rehabilitating
barracks to be entirely separate from the
slaughter-houses.
Arrangements were made to bring in
tents to cover every available vacant
spot for the same purpose. Small circus
torits were sent for to meet the emer
gency. Swift's carshops were soon taken
possession of by mechanics, who began
fitting up the plant's bunkhousfc, and the
same was done with other buildings,
apart from the killing departments.
Every effort was made to prevent a stam
pede of nonunionlsts. , The packers de
clare It was successful and that the ex

OIL STRUCK AT MUTE SCHOOL
Flows Out With Water In Eight-Foot
Well and Match Causes Blaze.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) A sen
sational oil discovery is reported from the
State School for Deaf Mutes tonight and
unless all predictions fall there will be
the wildest kind of excitement in the
region east of Salem in the next few
weeks.
The story that comes from the mute
school is that In excavating for the con
struction of a septic tank men struck a
vein of water at a depth of eight feet
from the surface. The water ran In a
rapid stream and when It collected in a
pool a scum formed on the surface. The
odor of petroleum was detected and upon
touching a lighted match to the scum It
caught Are and burned freely. The water
continues to run, carrying a considerable
quantity of oil.
The mute school is four miles east of
Salem and about Ave miles "southwest of
Pratum, where oil was discovered in Rice
Bros, well several weeks ago. Since the
discovery of the oil at Pratum It has de-
'-'"V''" a. uuuiuci ux ncua ill luui,

water Ailed the well as before, tho oil re
appeared upon the surface of the water.
Men who have Interested themselves in
the matter are convinced that the prospect

Peruna cures catarrh wherever seat

but containing nourishment with every

Single women all over the United
States and women who are made happy
mothers add their testimony to the
thousands that come in every day.
Study your case, and when you have
read these certificates you will find
that Peruna will help, and not only
help, but euro you.
Peruna does not claim to cure every

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

Life Was-a Burden Until Miss Harris

Miss Annette Harris, SS Catalpa.
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."
