TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Chicago, Feb. s.
WHEAT-Opened dull and easier today.
May at 1850, against yesterdays closing
price of 947sc. That was the extent of
the decline. Gables were STEADY, but
northwestern receipts were heavy Min
neapoIis and Duluth reporting ASP cars,
compared with $40 last week and 352 a
year ago. Chicago receipts were 81 cars.
Offerings were very light, and after hes
itating for awhile al 947sc, the market
slowly advanced to 951sQAc. Private
Liverpool cables were better than the pub
lie ones and reported millers good buyers
of cash wheat and nearby futures, with
stocks rapidly decreasing. The crowd,
as was the case yesterday, was bearishIy
inclined but afraid to sell much wheat,
and little buying demand easily turned
the market upward. Strength which de-
veIoped in the coarse grain markets help
ed prices.
CORN AND OATS-Corn and oats were
quiet but firm on light receipts. May corn
opened a shade lower with wheat at 300
291ac and advanced to 2914c. Receipts were
610 cars. May oats opened unchanged at
2494c, sold at 245sc and advanced to 247sc.
Receipts were 291 cars.
VISIONS-Provisions were quiet
but steady at slight declines. Hog prices
were lower. Brokers had selling orders.
May pork opened 21405c lower at $10.35,
declined to 5000 and reacted to so. 3215.
May lard opened &c lower at s4.95@4.971s-
May ribs opened 59715c lower at 5000

Aunt Philenda BrOadhead Gives Her Views
on the Husband Subject.
'Wen-ah-h'mr placidly began good
old Aunt Philenda Broadhead, speaking
In the midst of the assem- blage of ladies at
Mrs Judge Tubman's quilting bee. 'I
must say that have been real edited by
the various theories and plans for the man
agement of husbands which I have Jest
had the pleasure of listenin to.
II have been a good deal interested In
the opinion advanced by the younger sin
gle ladies that husband can best be kept
in hand by shown him that you are his
superior mentally, and also in that of the
younger married ladies, that the clinRin
vine does not need to manage the sturdy
oak; likewise the reluctant confessions or
bold assertions, as the case might be- of
the ladies who have been longer married,
that husband must, accordin to his dis
position, receive either supine obedience or
tyranny and the lash, and, lastly. by the
-h-h M ella borately yelled Willingness
of the more mature maiden ladies to accept
almost any state of affairs that has a hus-
band tied to it.
Il have been considerably entertained
by all these theories, as said before but
I am free to confess that I can't conscien-
tiously indorse them further than to re-
mark that they are a good deal like what
the newspapers call glitterin generalities.
Bein as have had three as good husbands
as woman was ever blessed with, and
also fourth, of whom about the best
thing 1 can say is that he was no great
shakes, kinder think 1 am moderately
well qualified to speak on the subject of
husband management as one havin au-
thority and not as the scribes, so to put
it, and, such bein the case, 1 am forced to
confess that the only infallible way to
manage husband that 1 know of is to
feed him well and trust to luck New

fruit Of their efforts but instead of read
ing the new rules it was decided to
have typewriter copies furnished TO
the board members and at the next
meeting the rules will be adopted.
Edward Wilder offered to give the
board a five year lease on lots on Cent
raj avenue in North Topeka to be used
to move the Langston school house on.
This building is owned by the city but
is two miles west of North Topeka 1t
is now used as a church with a rent
of 81 which is seldom paid. The build
ing will be moved to Mr.. Wilder's lots,
for which but 81 a year will be charged,
and at the end of the five year lease,
the board may renew the lease if they
desire. The building will be used to
relieve the overcrowded rooms in Grant
and Quincy schools.
superintendent Vim. NJ. Davidson
was granted a leave of absence and
expenses to attend the national superin-
tendents' convention to be held at Chat
tanoOga, Tenn, Feb. 21-22.
A rule which the committee on rules
and regulations will be expected to en-
body in their new work will be that of
opening to competitive bidding all ord
ers for supplies in excess Of IS. This
will cut down the expenses somewhat.
A scale of prices will be fixed and when
supplies are purchased by the board
closer price will be had through cOmpe-
tition. The resolution to this effect
was presented by W. NJ. Thompson.

A Dramatic Club.

1t may be of interest to the Topeka
Dramatic club to know something of a
similar organization in Lawrence. The
following is taken from the Lawrence
Journal:
1.-The Dramatic club met at the club
house Wednesday evening and made def
mite plans for future progress. Wednes>
day evenings will be the regular meeting
nights and the club will be known in the
future The Masque. The officers
elected at the last meeting were: Presi-
dent, Prof. G. B. Penny; vice president,
Miss Josephine SheIlabarger; secretary,
Eva Brown; treasurer, Carl Cooper. The
executive committee is composed of Prof.
G. B. Penny, Prof. c. G. Dunlap, Dale
Gear, Frank Curry, Eva Brown The idea
of the club is to keep two plays in con-
slant practice, incorporating half the
members in each play. These will be pre-
sented every six weeks. The club is the
outcome of Prof. Penny's plans which he
has been trying to realize for several
years. Prof. Penny's aim is to eventually
build a dormitory on Mount Dread and
have a theater built in the structure
wherein all university dramatics may be
presented. Prof. Penny intends to work
for this purpose and The Masque' will
lend it's add
