WHEAT-Trading in the grain and pro-

ing. considering the fact that it was Sat-
urday and traders had but a short Ses-
sion before them Wheat opened a shade
higher, but not so strong as curb prices
indicated it would be. The strength i'm
imediatly at the opening came from this
diSquieting political news from Europe

the local shorts. Opening prices for May

efforts to cover, the price reaching 1870

BRYAN'S PLANS.
He Will Lecture on Shares for Bimet-
allie Leagues.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-W. J. Bryan, who
is in the city today, said he would con-
tinue to lecture as occasion required.
AS rule his lectures would be given
under the auspices of the bimetallic
leagues or similar organizations, which
would share in the receipts. In this
way he would be assisting the silver
cause and providing an income for him
self
He is here attending to the details
connected with the publication of his
book. There are $4,000 copies ready for
sale and all the orders, Mr.. Bryan says,
are not yet filled.
More newspapers are needed by the
silver champions, according to the late
candidate. In giving his idea of just
what's wanted, he says:
81 cannot do the cause of free coinage
greater service than by impressing up
on every friend the necessity of making
such sacrifices as are necessary to sup
port the silver papers. Every county
should have a silver weekly, every
state should have a silver organ and
every city should have a silver daily in
keeping with its population; all of these
papers should be sufficiently supported
to enable them to meet the opposition
upon an equal footing. If the plain peO-
pie refuse to give encouragement to
those who fight their battles, they need
not expect to have defenders.

DRAPED LINCOLN'S STATUE
But Business at the Capital Went on
as Usual

Washington, Feb. 13.-The statue of
Abe Lincoln was draped yesterday in
the American flag and wreathed with
flowers in honor of the SSth anniver-
sary of his birth, but the house did not
suspend business. On the contrary, it
celebrated the anniversary by discuss
ing the necessities of the postal service
and passing the postoffice appropria-
ton bill.
The perennial fight was made to
strike out the appropriation of $i96, 900
for special mail facilities from Boston
to New Orleans, but it was defeated
46 to 1O7-although that portion of the
appropriation for special facilities from
Boston to New York was stricken out
after it had been shown that this part
of the appropriation had not been eX-
pended for several years. The bill as
passed carries $95, 435, ia.

THE BEST PLAN.
A Topeka Architect is Highly Com
plimented.


On this page is presented a picture
of a model school house. The Kansas
City Architect and Builder has the fol-
lowing to say:
1.-THE six room school house built at
Nevada, Mo, that is Illustrated in this
issue, was planned and superintendent
by H. NJ. Hadley, architect, of Topeka,
Kas. The building is economically ar
ranged; no waste space anywhere. 1t
is built with the native brick made in
Nevada, trimmed with the native lime
stone procured in the vicinity of Ne
vada, and is covered with a slate roof.
The foundation is of native limestone
rock. The rooms are each 25x2S feet
and will seat sixty pupils in each room.
The building cost less than $4,000, ex
elusive of heating ard ventilation. The
Missouri state superintendent of public
instruction says that this building is
the best and most economically planned
six room building built in the state of
Missouri, and has requested the archi-
tect to furnish him with cuts of the
building that he may put them in his
annual report
