Jones estimates the Corn crop at 300. 600 900

The Chicago wires of E. +. Hutton q Co.
said: Market was irregular. but the closing
was weak Indifference OF cables to yester-
days advance had a depressing effect. The
sharp advance of previous two days had in
vited general profit-ta taking by professionals
and an accumulation of stun by outside hold
ers This was being liquidated to-day The
conditions are unchanged, threshing reports
from the Northwest show no improvement and
IL possible, are even worse There is good
Flour demand and good cash demand for
milling Wheat. A little lull in bullish specu-
lative sentiment is not unlikely for the mo-
ment and the market may have some further
reaction
This market was unchanged. for cash grain,

PROF. MORGAN
DEAD Tn KANSAS
HE PASSED AWAY AT THE COL
LEGE HE FOUNDED.
TAUGHT AT EARLHAM
A Number of Years-He Was Pro-
fessor of Mathematics, Latin
and Greek.

Prof. w. B. Morgan, one of the
prominent educators of the state, IS
dead at Lowell, Kansas, where he
was professor of mathematics in Lo-
well college. He was also the found
er of the school, founding it after he
left Earlham college in 1898. Prof
Morgan is a brother of Mrs. Allen
Jay. His funeral will occur at
Lowell, Kansas.
Prof. Morgan came to Earlham col
lege when that institution was a
boarding school in 1S47, coming from
Raysville, Ind, overland, in stage
coach, over the national road. After

BUSINESS
DIFFICULTIES
NOT YET CLEARED UP BY THE
MAIN STREET MERCHANT
LIGHT LOOKED FOR
TOMORROW.
PRO PUBLIco BONO
Kingly Profits Demand Pricely Ex-
penses-Money Talks-Let
Profits Answer.

In an article written for this pa
per yesterday it was stated that one
of the most prominent firms doing
business on Main street was up to
the question of changing their loca-
ton, or even of leaving the city.
This is due. as was said then, to an
inability of the owners of the build
ing and the gentleman occupying it
to agree upon the extensive repairs
asked for and the conditions of the
lease.
1t must be admitted after all our
prejudice against the man who has
buildings for rent and who comes
around with such fatal regularity for
his pay, that he, too, has rights which,
In fairness, must be considered. IF
he spends money like prince in fit
ting up a property, he must be ex-
pected to reap profits like a king. OF
course this firm is amply justified in
asking such comprehensive repairs
They are far-sighted business men
and they are building not for today
only, but for the future, and not far
distant future either, when Richmond
shall be the center of a net work Of
traction lines and shall be called upon
to look after trade which is now
far beyond the fondest dreams of
even these men, the most advanced Of
our merchants.
1t is due the public to say that
the owners of the building in ques-
ton and the firm occupying it are
showing indications of getting to-
gether on the basis Of high-minded
Iiberality. Still it may yet be too
soon to say that the lavish expendi-
-ure of money demanded has been al
together agreed to by the somewhat |
property owners. But,
f the present plans are carried out, /
md 1t IS now thought probable that T
hey Will be, this location, one of the I
7ery best in the city, will compare
'avorably in all its appointments with
he best equipped metropolitan bust
less houses. By tomorrow it is hoped
here will be no longer any reason for
alking in parallels about this mat
er. 1t viii be arranged satisfactor-
ly by that time or the deal will be
#, and, in either case, the names Of
he parties will be given.
Mystery is commodity which
ewspapers seldom deal in and it will /.
e a pleasure to clear this one up in
he issue of tomorrow.
