The wheat market has every indie
: tiou of an upward tendeuoy. It hard
l.cned steadily last week Id the faoe of
loal bank failures, and was only affect
; ed by them temporarily. A good per
j oentage of the local traders were afiaid
i to go into the market, owing to the un
settled condition of finances at Chicago
last week. Local influences, however,
are only of a transient charaoter, the
market being governed more by foreign
advioes, and also by the great strength
of the domestio situation, which over
shadows almost everything in the way
of local bearish factors. Had the mar-
j ket been a local one prices would have
I gone lower, but the timely buying of
1 foreigners offset the bearish influences,
J and made sentiment bullish, over-rid-
ing everything bearish. English
traders who were sharp enough to fore-
settle in the southern part tf Yamhill 868 the" wanta early in the fall, and

A WILD CAT TALE.
Watrr and Frosted Rail Trnp the
Animal and Death Kotlowa.
What is by long odds the best hunt
ing story of the season conies from St.
Regis, and the section foreman, Nels
Thompson, who looks aftor the Snake
track at that place, ts the hero. It Is
probably the first case of Its kind on
record, and establishes an Interesting
precedent lu the killing of wild cats.
These Tarmluts have heretofore been
considered fit victims for any means
of extermination, however unsports
manlike it might be. Theyhave been
sTSot, trapped, potsoned aud drOwued,
but Nels Thompson has Introduced a
newmethodofdoingaway with the cats
whose only drawback is the fact that
it can never be generally Introduced,
as the conditions under which it Is
operative do not exist In every locality
where wildcats are found. To success
fully carry out the Thompson method
it is necessary to have a cold day, a
deep stream and a railroad track run
ning close by It.
One morning recently as Thompson
and his gang of sturdy Scandinavians
were pumping their handcar along the
track on the way to their work, which
that day was along the clay bluffs east
of St. Regis, they were somewhat star
tled by the angry snarling of a wildcat
ahead of them. They slowed up the
car as they rounded the bluff and a
strange sight greeted their eyes. The
morning was bitter eold and a fringe
of Ice bordered the banks of the St.
Regis River, which rushed along Just
below the track. B.-oken ice and a wet
trail up the bank showed that (he cat
had just swam through the icy stream
and explained his present predicament
For he certainly was in the gravest pre
dicament la. which ever wildcat found
himself. He was fastened firmly to
one of the steel rails by one fore foot
The supposition Is that the cat had
come through the river and leaped up
the track embankment. Ills last jump
brought one of his wet forefeet upon
the rail and, according to the familiar
principle of physics, it froze to the
steel. There he was, held as fast as if
In the Jaws of a trap. The ground
showed that he had struggled to free
himself, but his efforts had been In
vain.
As the handcar approached, the cat
swung around to face the intruders,
and in doing so another foot struck the
rail and was held firmly. A few more
struggles, a strong brace to free the
captive feet and the two free pedal ex
tremities touched the rail. Snarling and
with flashing eyes, the captive creature
watched the section men alight from
the handcar, but he was incaaaijje of
resistance. A blow from a lr
cracked his skull and the victimi Jo
water was dead. It required a g
pull to detach, the frozen feet f J
rail, and when they did come Jk
of skin still adhered to the;' . ;!.

rectly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best physicians In this
country for years, and Is a regular prescrip
tion. It Is composed of the best tonics knmvn
combined with the best blood purifiers, acting
directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful effects in curing

HOW TO RELAX.
Cold weather, whether damp or dry, will
produce, even If wear extremely careful,
sudden soreness and atilTiiess of the limbs
and muscles. This ia much owing to sud
den change of tem)eruture from a warm
room to out-door air. Cold contracts and
warmth expands or relaxes, and it ts for
this reason that when one is sore and stilt
from sudden cold, the application of St.
Jacobs Oil brings mimeiluuo and sure re
lief, as it gives warmth and relaxation to
the stiffened muscles and makes supple the
sore and cramped limbs. With a vigorous
rubbing with this KIV"' remedy for pain
no one need suffer with soreness ami stiff,
ness mora than a very abort time. It is
especially the best remedy for suflcrlng
where we require a prompt cure, and it is
particularly the bost because its cures are
permanent.
-Mlna'afid Health.
The oieutal condition tias far more
lutlueuce upon the bodily bealtu than
l.s generally supposed. U ts uo doubt
true that ailments of the body caust
deprossltig .and morbid conditions ol
the mind, but It Is no less true thai
sorrowful and disagreeable cmotloiti
produce disease In persons who, ntilu
tluenced by them, would be In sound
health; or, If disease Is not produced,
tho functions are disordored.
Agreeable emotions set in motion
nervous currents which stimulate
blood, brain, and every part of the sys
tem Into healthful activity: while
grief, disappointment of feeling, and
brooding over present sorrows or past
mistakes depress all the vital forces.
To be physically well one must, tn gen
eral, be happy. The reverse Is not al
ways true; one may be happy and
cheerful, aud yst be a constant sufferer
In body,.
Termites fkeetrojr a Cable.
The French Academy of Sciences was
informed last summer of the destruc
tion of an electric cable In Tonquln by
the attacks of termites. The cable cross
ed a marshy tract and was enclosed In
a tube of lead. The Insects bored holes
In the tube aud completely destroyed
the Insulation of the cable. It has been
proposed to guard the cable against
future attacks by enclosing It In au en.
Tclope of cotton and Jute Impregnated
with sulphate of copper, which, It Is
believed, would prove a fatal poison to
the I u sects.
