The American Society of Equity - will issue a bulletin tomorrow to the farmers ol the United States demanding an increase in the price ot wheat, arguing that the minimum price of wheat should bo $1 a bushel and urging the farmers of the United States not to sell for less than $1. The society has been organized with this city as national headquarters to maintain higher prices for farm products by cdoperatioy of the iarmers ot the country and this is (he first foimal demand for increase in prices as the result of the combination. The bulletiii says this is an era of unequaled prosperity, demand tor commodities is unprecedented, labor is receiving higher wages than ever before and the demand for and consumption of wheat is greater than ever before with a low visible supply. HIS 11ECOVKUY REMARKABLE. It was stated last evening at the Maryland (Jeneral Hospital tha^ Richard Curl in, colored, who wan shot bv Howard Warden, colored, on election dav at Brunt and McM echen streets, has prac-( tieally rec vered and that he will be discharged from the hospital in a lew days. The recovery of Curtis is regarded as one of the most remarkable cases on record. When Dr. R. W. Johnson began to operate on Curtis on the even ing of the shooting he tound sev enteen perforations of the intestines and five perforations ol other organs. The stomach was also filled with blood. The case will be written up for a medical work, as it. is thought to be without a parallel! in the history of surgery m this country.

De Witt's Little i IOhi ly Kisera are the famous little pills tliut cure by arousing the secretion", moving the bowels gently yet effectually, and giving such tone and strength to the glands of the stomach and liver that the cause of the trouble is removed entirely, and if their use ia continued for a few days, there will be no return of the complaint.

T Washington, May 23.?Poli- iJ ticiuns here read with interest this morning a Columbus (lis- f patch, in which State Senator S. L. Patterson, one of Hantia's lieutenants,says President Roose- j, velt will not be endorsed for re nomination by the Ohio Republicau convention this fail it (j Llanua and his lollnwors li?va ? 3 their way about it. A general belief is expressed that IIanna will not be averse to the nomina |} tion since Patterson and other friends favor him for the presi a| dencv. * \\ Hanna's pretended reason for ^ not endorsing Roosevelt is said to be that for him to permit the state convention controlled by qi him as president, of the national committee to so endorse the i president, would be to give notice to aspirants in all states that the j national committee is opposed to anyone else entering ihe race. This would engender bad feeling n] and destroy harmony in the national organization.
