corn from W to cents per bushel He es us a column of in- formation on this grain gambling iness in s Bulletin but is too modest to that he is the nal W J B who used the club to knock the com gamblers silly and settled the price cents per bushel Tbe that is most surprising is the fact that Mr Bahmer did not dis- cover the nefarious performances ing on in Chicago until the STANDARD called his attention thereto He is usually so pert and quick to see and act This is tainly the first time on record that he has failed to discover a situation ing for prompt and strenuous action long before anybody else could think of it But didn't ha bring those Chicago gamesters up on a short turn when he went after them?
