To sell a lot of ground for $50 less than it would bring if $5 were ex pended in advertising it is veay com mon—if nut very wise—financiering. To sell «. shop or farm for $2,000 when $10 worth of advertising would have found the man willing to pay fBQQ more fer it—that is "near sighted" finaoci'ring. To allow a house or apartment to remain tenantless for three mouths, when $3 worth of advertising would have rented it in three days—is not a GOOD way to "manage property," but it is a very usual way Through all the little affairs of Hfe we are apt io thus trample upou all of the Financial Commandments— making ourselves the poorer, and no body else especially the richer.

Santa Barbara, CaL, May 13.— Thirty-two people lost their lives in the wreck of the Shriner special at Honda, a small town on the Southern Pacific. Most of the victims of the catastrophe were members of the Is malia temple of Buffalo and the Rajah temple of Heading, Pa. The train car ried 145 members of these two frater nities and their families and friends. Of the dead twenty were residents of Reading, nine of the others being res idents of Buffalo,. Cleveland and other Eastern towns and three were Pull man employes. Of the twenty or more Injured many are terribly hurt and will probably die. The wreck was caused by a defec tive switch and the train was run'ning at the rate of fifty miles an hour at •the time. The coaches were smashed to pieces by the impact. There was no warning of the Impending calamity. The special plunged upon the defec tive switch and in an instant the big locomotive, baggage car, diner and Pullman coupled with it were hurled •together in a huge heap of wreckage. The engine shot forward on the broken track, tearing up the rails and ties and twisting the huge iron spans into fishhooks. The baggage car half bur ied iitself in the sand on the right side of tfce locomotive. It was smashed almost to kindling wood. The dining car, in which were thir ty-two persons eating their nooday meal, leaped into the air and was thrown directly on top of the demol ished locomotive. Nearly every per son in this coach was instantly killed. Scores were scalded by steam escap ing from disconnected pipes in the kitchen of the diner. The terror and turmoil of the scene was indescribable. Many of those who escaped instant death by the first impact were crushed iby the rear coaches hurled upon Che wreckage. Others, pinioned in the debris, were roasted itflive. The wreckage caught fire from the coals of the engine, but was extin guished in a few minutes 'by the pas sengers Who escaped injury.

Bro kers Were Swamped. Chicago, May 13.—Wheat took a tremendous jump at the opening of the board of trade. Initial prices show ing a gain on the leading options of 1% to 8 cents, the latter advance be ing on the December delivery, which sold at $1.03. The opening on the board was the wildest and most excited that has been seen in several years, the pre dictions made by the bulls on Satur day night that "dollar wheat" would soon be a reality being brought about within a few calls after the opening, both September and December selling above the predicted price, December going as high as $1.03. The trade was too big and too broad to follow exactly, but every commission house was stacked up with buying orders which were to take the wheat at the market price. The feeling in the country that the winter wheat crop has been badly hurt was even stronger than on Sat urday and the demand came from all parts of the United States. The scene on the board of trade for the first half hour after the opening was the wildest that has been wit nessed there since the collapse of the Leiter corner in 1898. Brokers made the most frantic efforts to fill orders for wheat, but in many cases were un able to buy within 2 to 3 cents oof the expected price so rapid were the fluc tuations. Whole Country Buying. The entire United States seemed to be back of the buying movement and although the conservative traders on the local board seemed to be large ly of the opinion that the advance was too abrupt to hold the flood of buying orders from the country continued and it was evident that for some time at least the market would have ample support. At 10:45 the buying pressure, which was responsible for the wild openinj of the market, was less urgent. Long wheat was being thrown upon the market in large quantities and prices were much steadier. The excitement had so far subsided that it was possi ble for traders to execute orders with some degree of certainty. The market at this time had reacted nonsiderahly. December wheat was down to 98, 4 cents below the high maife Septem ber wittr selling at WA. cents and July at 96 cefnts. Under heavy selling tor profit all of the options sold off, July declining to 94%, September to 96 and Decem ber to 98%. The volume of .trading was enormous and the stafing buying demand continued until the close. Final quotations found tbe .July op tion up 4 cents, at 95%0911 Sep tember was also up 4 eents, at 97%. December -was 4% cents higher. At 99% cent*. IN THE [HAYWOOD TRIAL. Preliminary Work of Selecting Jury Maarly Ended.

Washington, May 13. Justice Holmes of the supreme court ot the United States during the day an nounced the decision of the court in a number of cases involving the con struction of the eight-hour law of 1892, by which the employment of la borers and mechanics on public works Is limited to eight hours per day. The defendants were all prosecuted crim inally and were all found guilty and fined by the trial court. The suits were instituted especially for the pur pose of testing the applicability of the law to laborers and mechanics em ployed on dredges in river and harbor improvements, but ether points also were necessarily involved. The court held the law to be constitutional, but held that it does not apply to laborers and mechanics on dredges and that men so employed cannot be held to be employed upon public works. Justice Holmes' opinion that men employed on dredges in river and har bor improvements are not laborers or mechanics was based on the ground that in effect such men are seamen, to whom the law Is not applicable.
