Mr.. Hopkins, of Finney, Tells About
His Senatorial Fight.

Representative Bob Hopkins of Car
den City was i'm town last evening.
Representative Hopkins is a candidate
for Milt Browns place in the state SEN
ate. and 1T looks as though he stood
pretty good chance of getting the COW
eted place.
There are a number of candidates in
this district one of the largest in the
state There are 19 counties in the dis
trict, and about every other one in the
district has a candidate The conven-
ton viii be held at Larned. May 81
The most formidable rival that Hop
Sins has is J. s. Simmons of Dighton.
Speaker Charley LObdelTs town. Geo.
w. Watson. who used to be in Topeka
is also candidate
Hopkins had trouble to begin with at
home Senator Milf Brown wanted to
be a candidate again but lost the pri-
maries, his fellow tOwnsman, Hopkins
winning out. This created some lit
tie discord at home. but Hopkins claims
it will not nurt him and that he will
get enough counties to give him the
lead.
Hopkins says the fact that he was
obliged to practically come out for In
gals. despite the fact he was in the
Burton caucus last winter, viii not af-
feet his candidacy.

JEWELS VANISH.
No Trace of the Missing Smith
Diamonds.
LeaVenWOrth Police Think 1T
Was a Woman.
3 PERSONS WATCHED.
Small Footprints on the Fresh
Painted Porch.
The Jewels We're Considered
Worth Over $1,000.
PERSONS WATCHED.

LeavenwOrth. April 25.-No trace of
the missing jewels stolen from the res
idence Of Mrs. b.. IT, Smith on Thurs
day night. or the man who got them,
has yet been discovered.
The robbery was the work of one per
son and those who have made a care
full investigation are of the opinion a
woman did it, At least three persons
are under surveillance at the present
time.
The burglar entered the house
through a rear window which, it seems,
had been left open. or at least was not
fastened.
Footprints were found on the fresh
painted porch over the floor of which
the burglar entered and departed. The
tracks showed clearly that the burglar
had removed his or her shoes. The foot
print is very small and that is the chief
reason Tor believing woman did the
bold job
The property stolen was
one solitaire diamond ring with stone
about 2la or carats. very clear.
one small diamond ring and one gold
ring with three small coral sets
one sold ring set with emeralds and
one pair onyx bracelets with proba-
bly, the name Of Jaccard & Co. on
them
One lady's gold chain.
One lady s. hunting case gold watch
with the letters II. H. S. On the case.
Tiffany & Co. New York. on the dial
one small silver watch gold plated
open face
This is the third time the Smith res
idence has been burglarized the past 10
years.
A peculiar feature of the robbery is
that the burglar found the spring Of a
secret drawer and so got ait most of the
1eWelry- This same drawer was open
ed in former burglary of the house
SIX vars ago a $40 gold piece wrapped
ed and left I'm the secret receptacle 1t
was piece Mr. Smith had carried and
was valued as a keepsake
The jewels were valued at over ST.
900.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

the State Journal

Chicago, April 25.-Wheat started
somewhat easier on bearish crop news
and lower cables. May opened at 631AD
635sc against 637sc at yesterdays close.
May corn opened easier with wheat at
1850. or sc below yesterday. July
opened unchanged at 30slc; May oats
opened sc off at 1880. as did also July.
The wheat market was subject to an
application of confusing Influences at
the beginning of the session. There
were irritants and c0unter-irritants

S72. 600 bu. on the week before and IT,

cars today and shipped $4,000 bu. Min

The weeks shipment of wheat and
flour from both coasts amounted to the
smallest total for some years. The
Liverpool market was only about
steady at practically unchanged prices
and the weather today as reported by
the signal service could not be i'm
proved upon for the promotion of plant
growth. The action of the market
showed very plainly the effect of the
above conflicting influences. 1t opened
weak at a decline of from Il to sc at

steadily downward. until it got to 643s

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.
Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange, 526 Kansas Avenue.

Noon Associated Press Market.
Chicago April IS.
WHEAT-Cables came about steady
this morning and brought some little
inquiry for export business. Receipts
in the northwest were only moderate
with indications Of a further decrease
from now on.
Continued heavy rains have stopped
seeding operations in that locality and
predictions latter part of session that
the weather bureau predicted con
tinuation of the same for today and
tomorrow caused a rush of buying by
shorts which forced prices up in a
hurry
The milling situation is improving in
the northwest. The output at Min
neapolis, Superior, Duluth and NIilwau-
kee last week was 347 900 barrels
against 311,O0O barrels previous week.
Most of the mills report a better in
quiry.
Several cargoes of -four are going
out of Duluth right away on future
engagements and stocks of -four at Du-
1uth are only about half what they We're
a year ago.
The fact that a cargo of spring wheat
was worked at Chicago for direct ex-
port to Liverpool is an encouraging
feature. Our winter wheat supplies at
the sea board are practically exhausted
spring wheat. 1t is thought that this
viii be taken rapidly when foreigners
understand the situation. The Cincin-
natl Price Current thinks that last
years deficient yield Will not be ex-
ceeded this year. This means a good
deal with the present scarcity of that
article.
May wheat will soon be cash and
customers should not forget that they
are liable to have the grain delivered
to them on the first of the month. Those
who do not wish to pay for it in full
and carry it should transfer their trade
to July, or a later option The great
bulk of trade will be in July and hence
that is the better option to trade in.
We expect today's strength to be con
tinued Monday, with strong bull mar
ket later on
Corn and oats We're firm in sympathy
with wheat. Commission houses were
liberal buyers of September. Receipts
are falling below expectations and this
is causing local shorts some uneasi-
ness
The cash demand is steady with a fair
demand for car lots to go to store.
Provisions were quiet and lower on
account of heavy run of hogs estimated
and lower prices at the yards. For
eigners We're liberal buyers Of July
pork at the decline. There seems to be
a halt of short selling.
