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. THEY WILL FLAY THB RACES. 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. Cuban Agents LaT6 Jamaica. Kingston, Jamaica, Oct. 16.

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. Object IS Our to Clean Up Stock.

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.
