LAND VALUES RAISED
Effect of the Advance in
Wheat Values.
HELPS ALL CLASSES OF TRADE
The Ktse In Price of Grain Co
Great Excitement In San
Francisco.
Sax Fbancisco, Oct. 1G. The recent
and well-founded increase in the prices
of wheat and barley haa already caused
a demand for and enhanced the value of
grain lands. Practically all over $1 a
cental is profit to the holder of wheat,
and the 30 cents and over advance a
cental means just that percentage of
gain to the grower or the dealer. Cali
fornia is to be $4,000,000 or $5,000,000
richer than was anticipated, and a crop
of lessees, with some purchasers, has
already appeared.
' It is calculated that each advance of
10 cents a cental in the price of wheat
represents an increase of $5 an acre in
the land that produces the grain.
Farmers are not the only beneficiaries.
San Francisco EavingB banks are also
greatly advantaged , by the increased
value of their securities or the land in
those cases in which they have been
Compelled to foreclose, lor debt.
BROKERS AKE JCBIL45T.
Rise 1m Prices of Grain Canses Excite
ment. San Fkaxcisco, Oct. 16. Wheat in
the local market was higher today than
at any time for the, last three years.
Much excitement prevailed today on the
call board of the San Francisco prodnce
exchange at this morning's session. A
majority of the brokers were "long" on
wheat and consequently the moat ex
travagant predictions are being made by
local brokers as to future rises in Calif
ornia wheat, and the claim is made that
increased prices will mean a gain of
millions of dollars to this etate. De
cember wheat closed at this morning's
Bession at $1.41. May wheat closed at
$1.43.

Arrested
More Chicago New Women
For Gambling.
Chicago, Oct. 16. Another poolroom
patronized by women has been raided
by the police. Seventeen women and
two men were arrested by 'detectives in
room 6 of the Ricardo hotel, 168 Clark
street, and locked up at the Harrison
street police station. Unlike the women
arrested several weeks ago on the South
Side, the prisoners were not fashionable
women, but were from the middle class,
apparently the wives of small shopkeep'
era and artisans.
The arrests came about throngb the
refusal of the manager of the place to
allow a mulatto women to patronize .the
place after she bad played once. With
the desire tor revenge she determined to
retaliate and at once swore oat warrants
for Ralph Doe, keeper of the establish
ment, and for its inmates. Charles
Ropy, the man who was found in the
room, was with the women, as was Ed
ward Dunn, the hotel-keeper, who was
sent along as a reward for bis efforts to
warn the women of the presence of the
detectives.
The Bicardo hotel is one of the Euro
pean hotel found in great numbers along
, Clark street.
Pope Displeased With Ireland's Letter
London, Oct. 36. The Daily News
publishes the following dispatch from
Rome:
The Vatican, although in iavor of Mr.
McKinley, disapproves of Archbiehop
Ireland's letter, because it openly mixes
religion and politics, which the Vatican
desires to keep eeparate in the United
States. It is feared the letter will
displease the Eastern and Southern
Irish Catholics who are for Bryan. It is
probable that instructions will be sent
to Monsignore Martinelli, the papal
delegate, concerning the attitude of 'the
Catholic clergy.

Children -Lost Their Lives While Par
ents Were at a Political Meeting:.
New Wiiatcom. Wash., Oct. 15. -r-Three
children of J. F. Miller burned to
death last night four mile" north of Lyti
den, in this county, and about eighteen
miles irom here. Frank Boiae and an
other of the Miller children are eo badly
burned that they are not expected to
live.
Mr. and Mrs. Miiler came to What
com to take part in the Populist parade,
leaving their four children at home with
Frank Boise of Tacoma, who was visit
ing the family. The "house took fire
daring the night in some manner un
known, and it is supposed most of the
inmates were suffocated. The house,
which was a story and a half frame
structure, was burned to the gro'und.
The eldest child was 14 and the young
est 3. A messenger arrived this morn
ing, saying that the other child and Mr.
Boise cannot live. Boise has a wife and
children at Tacoma. He formerly trav
eled for the Washington Blank Book
Company, and later lived in. Yakima
county.
Seattle, Oct. 15. A special to the
Post-Intelligencer from Whatcom says :
Boiae died shortly before 11 o'clock.
having been horribly burned from bisi
waist up in his efforts to save the chil
dren, four of whom were npstairs.
He was conscious up to a short time
before his death, and able to talk freely..
His story in substance is as follows:
Some time before going to bed down
stairs with the little boy 5 years old, he
rose and built a hot fire in the kitchen
stove, and then went back to bed. He
was awakened about 11 o'clock, he
thought, by smoke, and heat. He j
dropped the little boy out of the win
dow, pulled on his trousers and went up
stairs. lie awakened tbe children there,
and took one of them, a girl 9 years old,
in his arms and carried her down, and j
said to the eldest girl, aged A6: "Go
down with the youngest child." Then
he supposed them safe, the other girl,
aged 7, following. . But it appears that,
instead of going out of the front door, as
they might have done, the children
tried to get out by the kiichen. They
were overcome close by the door, and
burned to death. Tbe girl saved is
terribly burned, but may recover. Boise
ran to a neighbor's a quarter of a mile
away, and back to another neighbor's
nearer by, leaving the flesh from his
hands on the gate at one ' place and on
the window glass at another. There
was no chimney in the house. The
hetove was a poor one, and the pipe pro
jected through the shingle roof, where
the fire doubtless caught.

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to maka this extract : "I
have no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King's New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
Church at River Junction she was
brought down with Pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours wHh little in
terra ption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. King's New Discovery ; it
was quick in its work and highly satis
factory in reenlts." Trial bottles free at
Blakeley & Honghton, Druggists. ; 1
The farmers complain because they
cannot find markets for all their prod
ucts. How would the doubling of prices
under free silver enable the working
men of the cities and factory towns to
buy more than they do now?
Sam Jones Makes It Clear.
"Suppose," says the Rev. Sam Jones
of Georgia, "the government owned all
the gristmills in this country and con
gress should enact a law that all corn
should be, ground by the government
mills free ' and that while corn was
worth but 18 cents a bushel the govern
ment would stamp the sacks of meal so
that it would bring 50 cents a bushel
and do this for nothing. It is a very
hard matter to keep meal above the
price of corn. "
Can free coinage double the price of
the- farmer's products without increas
ing the cost of the workingman's liv
ing? Will not paying the farmer's debts
with half dollars cheat the creditor
whose 100 cent dollars were loaned to
him?
Horse Nonsense.
"I don't think I am really any cheaper
than I used to be," argued the horse. ,
"I am worth just as. much as I ever,
was. . The bicycle has appreciated.
That's all. " Chicago Tribune.
Let farmers remember that a 200 cent
dollar is just as valuable in their hands
as it is in the hands of the wage earner.
