There was not much activity or busi ness in the wheat market during the past week partially owing to the very hot weather throughout the the states east of the Rocky mountains. On ac count of the temporary strength of the corn market prices advanced 3 cents, but the advance did not hold and the close was at about the aame as a week ago. The July returns of the departments of agriculture indicate the everage con dition of spring and winter wheat com bined are 84.9. which is 8.7 points higher than last month. The Orange Judd Farmer says: In the spring wheat district the month has been wholly favorable and previous high condition of the crop, is fully maintained. The present condi tion, 93.3, is practically the same as reported last month. Should it go to harvest with no future drawback, there s abundance in the situation to justify an expectation of 260,000,000 bushels, with nearly 800,000,000 bushels in the Dakota and Minnesota alone. This, with a reasonable certainty of at least 315,000,000 bushels of winter wheat. makes possible this year a total wheat crop of 675,000,000 bushels. For the past week the decrease in the visible supply was 874,000 bushels, and the total is now but 16,b09,ooo bushels, i The weather was the controlling in fluence in the corn market during the last week. There was renewed aotivity over a range of about cents. Dur ing the first part unseasonable tempera ture and lack of moisture prevailed throughout the entire corn belt. This induced liberal buying for speculative account, forcing prices up 8 cents from last week's finish. Later, when nor mal conditions set in, the early buyers took profit, resulting in one cent de cline. Sentiment is decidedly less bearish. Conservative operators prefer buying on the weak spots, believing that only a moderate crop can be raised with perfect conditions from now on, while all the accidents favor the hold er. Keoeipts at primary points lea on sharply, but promise slightly larger next week. The cash demand was dis appointing. Portland Market. Wheat Walla Walla, 65 66c; Val ley, 67c per bushel.

Almost a parauei to me Jacob z. Da vis will discovery turns up in Indiana, for after lying in a man's coffin for nearly 80 years, a will has been ex humed at Leavenworth, in that state, and its terms are liable to increase a troublesome litigation among the heirs of the man who had the document bur ied with him. Jacob Kissingen was the man. The will was found by aocldent, because when Kissingen died, although the will was believed to have been made, no body could find it,. So the heirs went to law and have been at it for three decades. A few days ago a dispute arose which could be cleared up by the family Bi ble. So the old grave was opened and the book taken out. It was in a good state of preservation, and, when opened, to the surprise of everyone, dis closed the old man's will. By the terms of the document found In the grave the property of Kissingen was divided equally among five chil dren, one of them a resident ot Ger many, and born of Kissingen's first wife. And this is where the new trou ble begins. None of the four American heirs ever heard of the father's first marriage, and not one of them guessed that he had a brother in Europe. The German heir, of course, has been in ignorance, too, of the exist ence of his American brothers, and the property and money bequeathed to him. If he presses his claim now, it is said that the four brothers who live here will have quite a hole in their purses when they pay him what is his by his father's will. Bone Power of Lightning. A recent thunder storm in the neigh borhood of Berlin afforded an opportu nity of measuring precisely the power of a flash of lightning.

Stopl Women, And consider that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman a woman whose ex perience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living phy sician, male or female. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man; besides, a man does not understand, simply because he Is a MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are Invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that She has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. WHEAT Hake money by suc cessful speculation in Chicago.

The use of gas and gasoline engines in mines and for all power purposes is very much on the increase. New uses for them are being found every day. They are being used quite extensively for pumping, for hoisting, and for other work in mining. Mr. W. F. Patrick has an article In a recent number of the New York Engineering and Mining Journal giving experience with a gaso line hoisting engine at the Southern Eureka mines in Utah. Mr. Patrick says: "We have had the engine. in use for some time, and have found it highly satisfactory and in the highest degree economical. We are engaged iu sink ing, and of course only hoisting inter mittently. Our engine is rated at 25 horsepower, and hoists a load of 1,100 pounds from a depth of 275 fuet in 45 seconds. Our consumption of gasoline has averaged only 0.7 gallons per hour. The amount of water used in cooling the cylinders is very small, as large galvanised iron cooling tanks are pro vided with the engine, and only enough water is required to replenish what is lost by evaporation. In many of our Western mining districts water for a steam plant would cost as much or more than the fuel. "The engine is provided with eleo trio and torch igniters, both ot which work very satisfactorily. One man can, by means of the self-starter, easily start the engine alone; after starting it requires no attention, except to see that the oil cups are feeding properly. "By means of the operating levers near the shaft, one man oan hoist, dump the buckets, run out the waste, A UtrcuUl ttoUting Englnt. and in such work as ours, or at small mines, have time to do the tool sharp ening and timber framing. "The machinery is noiseless and safe. The gasoline tank is placed out side the engine loom, underground, and below the level of the engine bed, and the gasoline is drawn up as needed by a small pump placed on one side of the engine. This arrangement prevents all possibility ot an explosion. In fact, I consider it safer and more economical than steam, and when the hoisting is done, it can be shut down and there is absolutely no consumption of fuel and no possible danger ot explosion." The illustration given herewith shows a type of engine very much in use in mines throughout California, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Mexico, Utah, Montana, Nevada, etc. It is bulit by the Hercules Gas Engine Works, of San Francisco, in all sizes, from two to two hundred horsepower. The engines are built extra heavy, the hoisting drum being the same base as the engine, and geared direct. The levers operating the hoist are positive in action, and are within easy control of the operator. About three thousand of these engines are in use in different parts of the country, and in every instance have demonstrated their superiority over any other power for the purpose used. They are also made to burn distillate oil, which reduces the fuel cost very materially, and where water and fuel are scarce, the saving in these items quite often enables the property to be worked where otherwise the expense at tendant upon operating a steam engine would preclude it D'Aumale'a Three Wills. So rich was the Due d'Aumalo that he had to make three wills to properly provide for the disposition of his prop erty. One of them relates exclusively to that part of his property which is in France, while the other deals with the wealth deposited in England, possibly from motives of precaution. The latest estimate of the population of the globe has been made by M d' Amfreville, who places it at 1,479,729, 000. The number of inhabitants to the square mile in Asia is 48; in Africa, 15; in America, 8; in Oceanica, and the polar regions, 8; in Australia, 1. The yearly increase of the population of the earth is about 6 to every 1,000, At this rate the population doubles every 189 years. A lady while traveling from Tyrone to Altooua, Pa., had her pocket picked in a car, and she was hustled off miles from her destination because she bad not money to pay her fare.
