READY FOR A GRAPPLE.

The first of series of Sunday after
noon temperance meetings was held at
20 Hennepin avenue yesterday.
j. w. Touslay presided over the large
gathering and Mr.. George, Of Wesley
NJ. E. church, conducted the music.
After devotional exercises led by Rev.
n. LathrOp, George F. Wells, Of st.
Paul, spoke. He said that the saloon
touched society at many points, and al
ways for evil. 1t is the enemy Of legiti-
mate business; Of the school; Of pure
politics, of education, and of religion.
Those interested in these subjects must
be shown from their own standpoint
that the saloon should be overthrow.
He said that the duty Of Prohibitionists
is TO maintain their position Enemies
of the saloon in other parties should
join the Prohibition party, or organize
a new prohibition party. and fight the
saloon in the caucusses and conventions
of their own parties.
Prof T. ]. Cation delivered an address
which was enthusiastically received.
His aim was to show that the saloon
keeper is a parasite; that he gave no
good but much evil to society, and
should therefore be cast out. He gave
a number of illustrations Of the work
of the saloons and ridiculed the states
manship of tOlerating it while bear
ing it's burdens. and of Furnishing those
who as result of its work commit
crime. He alluded humorously to the

of the Market.

CHICAGO, March 28.--The Times
Herald in its review and forecast of
the wheat market will say tomorrow:
Wheat bulls are expecting that the
April crop reports, which will begin to
come the latter part of this week, will
give prices new impetus. 1t is the
only help in sight for them. The war
scare counted more against than for
them. 1t put aside whatever natural
reason for higher prices existed. and
as the war prospect disappeared notn-
Ing else was thought Of except that
there was after all to be no trouble In
the Mediterranean. Those foreign con-
sumptive necessities so much ENLARGED

came clear that Argentine, India and
Australian supplies were to be short

vance prices. Export purchases from
America have been under expec-
tation for eight weeks, and day after

comes clearer and clearer that all these
predictions of an absolute deficit on
this side, compared with the demand.
are to be disproved. Stocks are light at
the seaboard and not large anywhere
but there is no reasonable question but
that, with fair prospects for a new
crop, there will need to be more anxiety

than solicitude as to supplies.
me European indifference to the loss
OF the Argentine crop and to the par
tial loss Of the Indian has impressed
speculation with the insufficiency Of
their information, and demoralized
them by making 1t clear that some ele-
ment In the supply and demand prob
lem has been missed. The incessant
announcement, week after week, Of
wheat shipments to Europe less than
half the theoretical requirements and
the simultaneous turning down by
Europe Of offers at dwindling prices
Of grain from this side has ratified the
trade, and made 1t feel that the sta

The present price, 10 cents over last
years at this time, judging from the
hesitation of consumers, discounts the
statistical position.
Three great winter wheat states, Illi-
nois, Indiana and Missouri, which
raised 100000, 900 bushels in 1894. s., OOO.-
600 bushels in 1895 and $4,000, 900 bushels
in 1885, are reported in unpromising
condition now. The difference between
what these three states raise in a good
year and in a bad is as much as the
whole contribution Of Argentine In
favorable season and sufficient to ma
terially affect the worlds wheat price
1t is no wonder that the official reports
from this important territory are nerv-
ously awaited by spectators.

ReUniOn

Fred c. Cook, chairman of the EIks
reunion committee on badges, will make
his final report to the executive COM
nllttee at its regular weekly meeting
this afternoon. The badge committee

fed form of the seal of the city of Min
neapolis, and on the other side printed

something elegant. They will all be
hand painted by Miss Wiley, the artist

bear his own full name and official
title. Samples Of all the badges men
toned will be submitted to the execu-
tive committee for approval tomorrow
OF course, it is not settled yet whether
these badges will be accepted but there
seems little doubt of it, inasmuch as
the badge committee has spent a great
deal of time and energy in trying to
get just the right thing. Hundreds of
letters have been written to firms all
over the country, and 1.-THE badges which
will be submitted tomorrow are the
results of selection of the best points
from half a hundred prize badges.

to the lake by special train service in

sistance. Balls in honor of the EIks
will be in full swing at all the hotels

made that the visitors may fit across
the lake from one ball room to another

they so desire. The committee has re-
ceived assurances from leading cot
tagers at the lake that they will be
glad to see to it that all the cottages
along the shores are brilliantly and
beautifully Illuminated on this evening
There will be fireworks from all points
along the shore, and the hotels will
decorate as they have never done on
any former occasion. 1t will be a gala
day from start to finish and the Elk
who does not enjoy it will be hard to
please, indeed.

Chicago Grain Men Aggressive

CHICAGO, March 2S.-The Tribune
tomorrow will publish story to the eff

falo is soon to collapse as the result OF
an invasion Of the field by Chicago
elevator firms. The rivals Of the pres

The Tribune story concludes: THE

supremacy in handling the grain OF
the West. The next move will be to

Instead of grain being sold In Chicago
for delivery at Buffalo or Erie, it will
be sold for delivery at the port of New

LONDON FINANCIAL MARKET.
Stocks LifeIess With Americans
Especially Weak.

LONDON, March 2S-The demand
for money has been somewhat brisker
during the last few days, as the end
of the quarter has approached. But
discount, after a slight hardening, re-
lapsed. The fact that twelve months
treasury bills have been allotted under
IA will indicate the rates. These are
not expected to rule at high figures in
the future, and probably the bank will
fall below the minimum for some time
past.
The stock exchange is lifeless, but
only American railway stocks and
mining securities are really weak. Very
little is being done, the chief invest
ment being in home railways, which
show substantial increases. European
stocks are, as a rule, lower, but Greek
shares have gone up one point, and
Italians have gone UP 7-16.

FEARS FOR LEVEES.
Every Effort Being Made to Prevent
Further Breaks.

GREENVILLE, Miss, March 28.-
The gauge reads 1855, a rise of four
tenths within the past twenty-four
hours. Every hour has been utilized
by labor on the levees. Nearly one
thousand men are at work on the ten
miles covering Greenville front. Five
hundred new lahorers, fresh from the
plantations, will arrive here tomorrow
The Greenvtlle sawmills are at work
today with full forces of men, while
barges are being loaded with lumber
and sacks to be sent to weak points.
Every energy is being used to prevent
a crevasse, with hopes Of success
While the water is above the regular
leVeeS in some places, dirt, lumber and
bags of sand have been used to elevate
the entertainments above the water
level.
Everything is intact tonight The
government boat Mississippi, with the
Mississippi river commission aboard,
stopped here this morning. and in an
interview Judge Taylor, a member Of
the commission from Indiana and one
of the oldest men in the service on
the commission said that of the 1900
miles of levees, with this unprotected
flood, less than seven miles have given
away under the terrible pressure. He
thinks it possible that other breaks
will occur during the next few days, as
he expects one more foot of water for
this section. To be prepared for the
rise yet to Gomez is now the purpose
Of those in authority here. If the
weather continues good 1t is believed
that the entire line of levees along the
Mississippi side, a continuous line Of
nearly 400 miles, will nbe made to hold.
Several weak places reported south Of
Greenville last night are now under
control. The Arkansas levees opposite
Greenville are said to be in fair condi-
ton.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 2S-The
