A financial writer in New York shows
by careful analysis of the bull move
ments on stocks during the past ten
years that the one now in progress ex
ceeds all the others, not merely in vol
ume of transactions, but also In extent
f grains In prices. The longest of these
movements lasted for thirty-six weeks.
In which time an average rise In prices
of 13 points was brought about, this be
ing at the rate of 33 cents advance a
week. The average gain in all the pre
ceding thirteen bull movements in the
ten years under review has been about
78 cents a week. But in the present bull
campaign the uplift of prices has aver
aged $2 a week for the entire active list..
This shows what a vast sum of money
has been made by some, and of course
lost by others. In speculative operations

KANSAS HAS A CHANCE.
Government Cerealist Calls Attention
to Triumphs of Grain.
M. A. Carleton. ceralist, under the
United States deoartment of agriculture,
takes a lively interest in the affairs of
Kansas, and this is evinced by a com
rr.unication received by Secretary of Ag
nculture F. D, Coburn, from him. In
letter follows:
"Some time ago I informed the secre
tary of the Topeka Commercial club.Mr.
T. J. Anderson, that the lot of Kansas
corn which was exhibited through us at
the Paris exposition, has been awarded
the grand prize, but have since heard
nothing from him in reply. Thinking
that he may not have received my letter
J. therefore take this opportunity of writ'
ing you the same information.
"I am anxious that the members of
the club, and all Kansas farmers con
cerned should know of this gratifying
appreciation of their exhibit of corn.
would say also in this connection that
after Kansas has had so great a wheat
crop during the last season there ought
now to be still greater chance of adver
tising the wheat Industry in that state
from the fact that at present, I under
stand, the millers of the state associa
tion are intending to Import from ten to
twenty thousand buphels of hard winter
wheat from South Russia this coming
year.
"The chairman of the committee for
this sort of work, Mr. B. Warketine, of
Newton, Kansas, has written me for ad
vice as to what locality they should im
port this wheat from. I only had time
to wire him my answer before the meet
ing of the millers association.
"I have Just recently returned from a
trip through Russia and have secured
quite a number of the very best hard
wneats in the south of Russia and ex
pect during the coming year that we
shall be able to distribute somo very
fine varieties to the various portions of
tne states or the Plains.

ABOUTTHE KANSAS HOG.
The Animal Excites Interest in Far
Off Finland-
Secretary of Agriculture F. D. Coburn
recently received a communication from
Baron J.Mennerhelm of Jokkis den. Fin
land, requesting the addresses of dealers
in fancy Poland China swine. The baron
wrote for this information with the end
in view of buying stock in America to
use in improving the breed of swine In
Finland.

several Kansas breeders, and only a few
days ago received another letter from
the baron announcing the fact that he
had put himself into communication
with the men referred to.
The reason Baron Mannerheim wrote
Mr. Coburn for this information is the
fact that he learned of Mr. Coburn
through David G. Fairchild. son of ex
President E. T. Fairchild of the Manhat
tan Agricultural college, who now bears
the title of agricultural explorer and
pursues his researches under the United
States department of agriculture.

sen wun nonor. senator Davis was a

the nation will be hard to nil and his
death is a personal loss to a wide circle of
triends who were irreatly attached to
him."

and condolence to Mrs. Davis.

STUMBLING BLOCK.
In the Chinese Negotiations is
the Word Ultimatum.
Washington, Nov. 28. It developed to
day that the chief point in the exchanges
concerning China which have been go
ing on during the last few days among
the powers relates to the wisdom of de
livering an "ultimatum" to China, using
the express word "ultimatum" in the
text of the demand to be handed to the
Chinese envoys, involving the possibility
of a resulting declaration of war against
China in case the demands of the ulti
matum be not complied with. It ap
pears that some of the powers desired
the express use of the word "ultimatum"
in the demand relative to the decapita
tion or other extreme punishment of
eleven of the princes and other high
officials responsible for the outrages, and
this view of using the most expressive
term of diplomacy seems to have found
favor with the ministers at Pekin.
When it became known at the several
capitals considerable .dissent became
manifest.
About a week ago Japan took the
Initiative in an, appeal for moderation,
and this received the favorable consid
eration of the United States, France and
Russia, and. nmhablv Great Britain, al
though a positive statement aa to Great
Britain can not be made. About the
same time Secretary Hay took steps to
express the view of this government
that It was inadvisable to proceed to the
extent of an ultimatum against China,
hut that the demnnds should not be be
yond what China reasonably might have
the power to comply witn.
T-h, imsnimltv of sentiment aTOOng th
powers, gives grounds for the belief that
the demands or tne ministers win ue iuuu
ifieri hv the omiKKioTi of an ultimatum, al
though it is not yet clear what the final
attitude ot tne remaining powers uct
mnnv. Austria nnd Ttalv will be. The ne-
e-otiations in this particular were carried
on in London through Ambassador Choate
and it is regarded as significant that one
of the parties to the Aiifc'io-uerman aiu
nnce should eivfi its adherence to the
moderate position advanced by the United
states.

Too Late.
If you lose your watch or your
ring or your pocketbook there Is a
chance of its being recovered. If
not you can replace them. It Is
not that way with your eye sight.
If that is lost it is lost forever. You
can not obtain a duplicate. Every
symptom of eyestrain is a warning
from nature that you are doing
your eyes a permanent injury.
Every time that you read until
yourheadacheayouaremaktng your
condition just that much worse. If
your eyes tire easily they need at
tention. Forcing them to work
without help will positively break
them down. By using glasses now
you will keep your eyes strong and
well. If you wait too long you will
have to wear glasses every minute
and even then your vision will be
unsatisfactory. A stitch in time
