wheat opened hdAc to AG%c higher at S1hQ
S1Ssc on this influence. There was some liqui-
dalton which pressed May down to S1QS1c, but
continued reports of no precipitation in the suf-

At one time early in the session May sold
up to Sac, but Immediately general selling
set in. Gables began to weaken and the bear
crowd pounded the market to the close, which
was weak for May, %Qsc lower at S0hc.
Corn trade was much the same as wheat.
Cables were firm and May opened unchanged to

indications were for a freer country move

Corn broke on the wheat slump and on a
weakening cash situation slid on badly. May
closed very weak, 1ssc to lower at 5Tasc.

reported freer, but the slight strength in other
grains and some small professional buying kept

ed to antagonize the project that the
cabinets of the presidents in late
YEARS have been twice as large as
those of Washington and the early ex-
ecutives. Gradually as the business
and territory of the country expanded,
its interests have enlarged and multi
piled until it has been found necessary
to include additional interests in adj
ministrative offices.
With the growth of our industrial
institutions the commerce of the Unit
ed States has naturally expanded. 1t
now reaches to nearly every available
country on the globe, seeking an out
let for the products of our factories
and farms. However, there is
ample room for still further extension
and development of the markets of
the world So important has this con-
sideration become that it is deemed
advisable to seek to enlarge the field
for our commercial activities by add.
ing another department to the admin
istration. There should be no unne-
cessary delay in the enactment of the
bill for the creation of the department
of commerce.

FOUND IN THE TALL. GRASS.

Creston Gazette: At the last ses-
sion of the grand jury in Page county
that body found an indictment against
Ira G. Newman, well known and
wealthy farmer, living near Shenando-
ah, for horse stealing. Mr.. Newman
is the owner Of several hundred acres
of Page county land, than which there
is no better on earth, and is said to
be worth at conservative estimate
$4,000. He is the superintendent Of
a large Shenandoah Sunday school, a
leader in the church, man of hither-
to excellent standing, but the horse In
question was found in his pasture with
its tail and main clipped and other
wise disguised with view to the con-
cealment of its identity, In one of the
stalls of his stable hairs of the horse
We're found, showing that it had been
for some time kept in the stable be-
fore being thrown out to pasture.
The owner of the horse has claimed
the animal and his ownership is not
disputed, but it is asserted by Mr..
Newman that the animal was left with
him him by a stranger, who said he would
call for it later and who never called.

Arrest OF OttunfWd Man,
From Saturdays Daily.
People in Burlington are surprised
at the arrest of Thomas I. Jebb of this
city on the charge of forgery. Mr..
Jebb was stationed in Burlington as
the agent for a life insurance company
prior to coming to Ottumwa. While
there it is said he bore a good reputa-
ton. His friends in the Mississippi
river town are 10th to believe that the
charge of crookedness which Rev.
Father Hoppman, pastor Of St. Mary S
Catholic church in Ottumwa, brings
against Jebb is true. Concerning Mr..
Jebb's difficulty, the Burlington Ga
zette says:
Mr.. Jebb was resident of Burling-
ton for about a year, being connected
with the National Life & Trust Co.
The news of his arrest has astonished
those who knew him here and in all
probability when the case comes up
for trial Mr. Jebb will be able to prove
himself innocent of any wrong inten-
ton. AS a Burlington man said to.
day, "Jebb probably sold the priest
mentioned four shares of stock at $50
a year share when the latter thought
he was buying only one" The case is
set for January 2, when the true facts
will be brought out.
