John Arthur and Slayton's New York
Stock Co. which appear at Van Wer-
denis opera house Saturday evening in
Gan Enemy to the Queen" are not
strangers to Leon theatre goers. Mr..
Arthur was here last season when he
presented "'rhe Merchant of Venice"
Mr.. Arthur is one Of the leading trag-
edians now on the American stage and
we will doubtless see him only in the
largest cities within the next few years.
We trust he will be greeted with a
crowded house for we can assure our
readers it is one of the best attractions
on the road, strictly tirst-class.

The severe cold weather is evidently
forcing considerable petty stealing. Last
Friday evening Virgo Penniwell filled q
barrel with chop feed and set it in the
cellar way. He went back to the store
and couple of hours later Mrs. Penni-
well heard a noise in the cellar way, but
as she was alone she was afraid to inyes
tigate. Whsn Virgo came home she
told him Of it and he found that ssme
one had stolen half of the feed and
carried it away without leaving any
trace of his identity. Residents Of
north Leon are on their guard now and
if the stealing continues the thief will
be captured.

Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter.

Chicago, July 5.-Wheat opened easier on lower cables both from the continent and United Kingdom, Paris being par ticularly weak showing decline equal to 2 cents a bushel In the face of this, very general rains in the spring wheat country and complaints of chinch bugs and rust were quite numerous. Private cables, however, had little better tone and some demand for No. Northern was noticeable The price current report es- timated an acreage crop Of H5,0OOO00 but the trade, however, has been light, the principal buying coming from the North west. It might be said that some strength was given to this cereal by sharp advances which occurred in the coarse grain. With other cereals commanding the price which they are doing, we fail to see any good reason to sell wheat short at present prices.
 Corn-Although corn started at a de- cline from previous closing owing to rains in certain sections of the country there have been about as strong market as we have seen in some time. The speculative interest has grown larger and trade broadened out considerably. Re- ports from all sections of the country are of an unfavorable character an Kansas in particular where some estimates are give of much less than half a crop ow- ing to the recent hot weather The local talent who so consistently on Wednesday sold, have been very large buyers of September.
 Provisions-The same dry and hot weather that prevailed for some time has been forcing hogs into the market and makes receipts larger than last year. Today western points received 1000 more hogs than year ago. Prices here were s cents lower. Provisions were weak for a few minutes while commission houses were doing some selling, but later were strong and higher with good buying and offerings light Provisions closed steady.
