one Of the best ever given by The
society Mr.. ]. f, Biddle taking the
affirmative and Elmer Goddard the
negative. The boys did well having
the question well under control. The
recitation "The tightening, Rod Dis
penser" by P. ]. Ferris was a very
pleasing feature ofthe evening. His
rendition being artistic. He so
pleased the audience, that he had to
respond to their vocerifereus applause.
He gave them "The Bloomer Girl" I"
We were next treated to an Ora
ton, "The Young Man in Re-
public" by Hubert S. Lyle. This
was full.of zeal, patriotism and literary
food OF which older heads might sup.
He is plain speaker and gains the
attention Of his entire audience.
The Alpha Sigma Advance was
the most amusing feature of the
program 'Dick" Caldwell gave
to us some Of his good origional jokes
wich were heartily enjoyed by all.
We predict that ''Dick" will make
his mark as a humorist some day.
The music was rendered by the
Alpha Sigma single and double quar-
tettes, and was highly appreciated.
Our entertainment was presided over
by Robeat P. Walker who proved
himself to be witty and encouraging
presiding officer.
The Alpha Sigma was strictly Alpha
Sigma and we are glad to show to the
people that we are still in fourshing
| condition and we take the hearty
congratulations Of many friends as an
incentive to higher and nobler work
in the future.

ket reached the long talked of goal of s1 per bushel. Naturally t1ough she tnc.- dent created tremendotS sensation on fhe floor of the exchange and was greet ed with prolonged cheers from half a thousand throats, being re-echoed from the crowded galleries. Several times dur ing the afternoon the bulls snapped the price within 9sc. of he sirsd market, but a return wave of salls each time swept it back. The final successful effort was made under the impulse of exports reaching enormous figurs. September was hanging around 993sc when the ex- port news was whispered about and at once danced upward in response to excit- ed focal buying. Higher and hghsr it whis tied, watched by everybody on the floor, till the big black clock pumped fair on the even figure, and dollar" wheat in New York was an accomplished fact.
 Now. that the bulls have aimed their boast, they are as far as ever from beirg satisfied and claim that the wave of bull sentiment which has spread like fire all over the country, win carry the prices here to at least s1.25 per bushel, and per- haps even higher. That dollor whs a. Is already a thing of the past was demon- strated on the curb when further clamor ous demands from high strung local shorts raised the price to $1.OO1a, or about

FULL STATE TICKET NAMED
And Platform Calling For Fair Elections, State Ownership of Railroads, and Wip-
 ing Out of Cigarettes Adopted.

Lynchburg, Va, Aug. 20.---The prohibit tion state convention met today and nominated Rev. Lewis A. Cutter, of Louisa county, for governor; Prof. G. M. Smithdeal of Richmond, for lieutenant governor, and F. B. Kennedy of Scran- ton, for attorney-general. The attend ance was quite small, not being as large as had been anticipated.
 The convention was called to order by W. D. Bundick, state chairman, and was of Richmond, was elected chairman, and J. M. Rice, of Covington. secretary.
 The following state committee was chosen: J. W. Bodlet. Staunton: G. M. Smithdeal, Richmond; J. o. Atwood, Richmond; Aaron Graham, Christians burg, J. k. McWane, of Lynchburg; J. M Rice, of Covington; W. L. Elsy, Exmore W. T. Shelton. Sheva; A. s. Miley, Nor folk; G. D. Gitt, Danville.
 Lawrence E. Nichols, of this city, was chairman of the committee on resolu- tions. The platform was adopted after considerable discussion. It declares for the absolute prohibition, manufac- ture, importation and sale of alcholic beverages and all intoxicating liquors and that all alcholic spirits needed in the arts and for medicinal and mecha ni- cal purposes shall be dispensed under state control by responsible agents; de- opJc ba 1f election laws and the enactment of such laws as "should insure to every citizen ths certainty of casting his ballot for the candidate of his choice and of having his ballot counted as east" favors re- duction of state expenses to the lowest basis of pra ctical economy; either by en- actment of statutes or changes in th4 state legislation: favors the extension of terms of public schools in country dis tricts: favors more stringent immigra- tion laws and government control of all natural necessities, such as railways. strest car lines, telegraphs and tele- phones"
 On the money question the platform says:
 '"The prohibition party favors honsst money, demanding that the faith and credit of the government be kep. invio- late; we denounce a system of financial laws or practices that allows any set of men to corner the money of the country, force up rates of discount and compel the government to issue bonds in time of peace to maintain a gold resrve as constant temptation to specula tors in the government credit.
 'Wc favor the largest possible use of silver and paper money in connection with and on a par with gold that can be had with safety, and demand that he treasury department shall cease to dis criminate against any class of legal tsn- der money of the government"
 Resolutions were adopted urging the nomination of candidates for the legis1a- ture in every district favoring the abso- lut= prohibition of the manufacture, inn poi.ation, transportation and sale of ci- garetses, and the enactment of such laws as will prohibit the desecra ton of the Sa,bb a'th.
 The nominations followed and the con- vsntion adjourned.

Bradstreet's Review.


 New York. Aug. -Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Special tele grams from trade centers throughout the country emphasize the growing tendency of the farmer. due to high prices for almost all agricultural products still in h:s hand and point to continuation of the de- mand which has been conspicuous within the past few weeks. The volume Of trade continues to increase and prices are hardening. No such large volume of business, largely in anticipation of re- quirements, has been reported since 1892. Larger transactions have been in dry goods clothing and shoes and south and west in wagons and farm implements.
