cial Clubs to Meet.

John <. Wright, of Junction City,
president of the Federated Commercial
Clubs of Kansas and the State Good
Roads association, was seen by a State
Journal reporter at the Copeland hotel
last evening.
He said: I viii call a joint meeting of
the Two associations for Topeka about
the middle of January. This will be dur
ing the opening of the legislature, and
we hope to get a bill favorable to good
roads through this legislature.
I have a committee who will look
through the statute books and discover
the laws bearing upon this subject, and
a bill will be prepared which will be pre-
scented to this meeting of delegates from
all over the safe and any changes rec
commended will be considered and made
if necessary. Upon the adoption of this
bill by the delegates it will be pre-
scented in the legislature and the dele
gates while they are in the city will
lobby with the representatives from
their district for the passage of the bill
There is no doubt but that favorable
legislation will be passed at this ses-

cringing and weak, with propensity to
spoil everything, was assigned to Dan
Young and he extracted enough laughs
out of the part to go the limit.
The tenor Jules C1ugette could not
sing. He was cast for Leon and his place
was filed by Mr.. Connors.
The Goodnight Chorus by the entire

strength to a pleasing degree. The ten

TODAy's MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-WHEAT-The crowd
was little long on wheat last night
but sold this morning as there was
scarcely any demand save in a small way
from known bulls. Liverpool was higher
but not as high as had been expected.
December opened a shade down at 1854 to
765sc and sold down to 1850. The local
receipts were 200 cars, seven of contract
grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
4s8 cars against 573 last week and 701
year ago.
A general expectation of large increases
in both the visible and on passage state
ments was a further bearish influence.
December later dropped to 755sQ3zc and
closed 7A11c down at 753z05sc.
CORN-Corn was easier on disappoint-
ing cables and in sympathy with wheat.
Country acceptanceS were reported light
but offerings in the pit were liberal when
contrasted with the slack demand. De-
cenber opened 1sq1zc lower at 355s to 3512c
and sold to 35a c.
and sold to 55szc but eased, following
The close was easy, December &c lower
OATS-Oats were fiat. The feeling was
easier in sympathy with other grains.
December opened a. shade down at 2214 c
and sold to 22M1sc- Receipts were 422 cars.
VISIONS-Provisions opened steady
because hog receipts were less than had
been expected, but turned easier on local
selling. January pork opened at $11.50 and
declined to $11.321s; January lard at Sc. Pr
Q6.75, easing to $500, and January ribs at
$6123a, selling to Sc 05Q6-0T1s-

APACHE GHOST DANCE.
It Will Be Held at Auditorium oc-
tober %.

The committee on seating the Audi
forum have arranged for an Indian
war and ghost dance on October . by a
band of wild Comanche and Apache In
dams Some of the Indians formerly
belonged to old GeronimO's band, that
committed so many depredations in
Arizona and New Mexico years ago. and
defied the whole United States army as
well as the Mexican army for years
Old Geronimo and his band were finally
captured in the mountains of old Mex
leo by General Crook
Geronimo and his band were SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment and sent to
the Dry Tortugas, where they remained
for many years. They were finally re-
leased after Geronimo was too old and
infirm to do any further mischief and
sent to the Comanche and Kiowa reser-
walton in the extreme southwest corner
OF Oklahoma Their agent has con-
scented to let a band OF the best dancers
come to Topeka to entertain US in the
new Auditorium. The dances will be
wild and weird in the extreme, and viii
he the best entertainment of its kind
ever given in the country
The price OF admission has not yet
been determined by the committee, but
1t will undoubtedly be within the reach
of all A portion of the Auditorium will
be reserved

shocked some of the shorts and it quick
" developed that May and December were
largely over sold. The October keeps the
tension at high pitch all the time, as it
is under control of a local operator. The
cash demand is able to take care Of all
arrivals and although receipts have been
rather heavy, stocks do not Increase The
weather is reported fine, but with country
stocks at a low ebb, our present crop Of
corn is at no time going to be a drag on
speculation

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. 3.-WHEAT-On the
late decline in wheat, weak and impatient
holders have sold out, and what property
is now held for the long account is in bet
ter hands. There has been some buying
on this break on the belief that spring
wheat receipts will continue light and
posted arrivals in the winter wheat sec
ton indicate that there Will be steady
falling off in the quarter. If the visible
supply shows the expected small increase
Monday, it will probably be the last in
crease we Will have on this crop. There
continues to be good cash demand from
exporters right along. and although north
western mlllers are not doing much talk
ing, they are making sales of flour at the
recently advanced prices. With wheat in
the strong statistical position it occupies,
every day of dull and quiet markets only
postpones the advance that is coming, and
the upturn win be all the more radical
for the delay. The trade on the other
side have their attention on Argentine
prospects just now, and it will take an
other bumper yield in that southern re-
public to keep the European buyers from
soon becoming active competitors for our
wheat At present this element is inclined
sible, in the hope that heavy Argentine
yield will induce more pressure to sell our
wheat There is every evidence, however.
that our wants on our seasons crop will
be a factor in determining values more
than ever, as there will be no rush to
sell wheat in the present prosperous con-
dition of the growers, and wheat will be
slow of movement from first hands from
