MARKET
Wheat Pit Is at Their Mercy
Again Today

Chicago, Nov. 29- The bears had
another delightful time in the wheat
pit today. Not content with the havoc
that they had created yesterday they
cavorted around until closing time,
when they had forced the market down
to point not reached in weeks. The
weekly statistics and the weeks ship
ments continued to be the chief factors
in the slump, but there were other caus-
es. The Liverpool market had bad
feeling, and reports of the break in the
drouth in the Southwest all added to
the tendency to sell.
The quotations today were: Wheat,
December, opened at $1.7h, but at the
close was forced down to $1.065s. May
openeOd briskly at $1.O9%, but at the
closing hour had been forced down to
$1.0sh1a; Corn fell from 4s% to 4s9s.
Oats remained at stationary figure,

WWho,s BroWn2,I


Mr.. William Morris, who by special
engagement is to appear here at the
Grand on Thursday evening, December
/, in "Who's Brown2" is without a
doubt one Of the most promising, bril-
liant and popular young actors that is
appearing before the footlights at the
present time. Mr.. Morris has selected
for his tour Frank Watts farcial
comedy, "Who's Brownl" in which
he portrays the role Of Frank Fuller,
his favorite character, which is pro.
nounced by the press and public as be-
ing peculiarly adapted to Mr.. Morris
and no one can appear in it to better
advantage. This popular young actor
has had many offers to appear in sew
eral New York productions, but de-
elined them all, saying elf must act,
| will only play one part, and that is
Frank Fuller in "Who's Brownq" for
which piece Mr., Morris, with Mr.. John
Hall, owns the rights.
The popularity Of Mr., Morris dates
from his first appearance as the lead
ing man of the famous Empire Stock
company of New York, during which
time he achieved great success in "The
Lost Paradise, - "Under the Red
Robe, " "The Adventure of Lady Ur-
sula, " 'When We Were Twenty-one, 4"
and others, hut his present role of
Frank Fuller affords him the greatest
of his career of which fact
Mr.. Morris has taken full advantage
aud brings to his protrayal Of the part
the best of his undoubted talent. In
these days when stars are made in
day, the opportunity, when it does
come, TO see a finished actor, who has
won his right 10 stardom by meritori-
Gus work as has Mr.. Morris, should
not be neglected. The glowing tribute
Of press and public 20 Mr.. Morris in
his unrivaled presentation of "Who's
Browni" is surely an indueement
strong enough TO bring out in large
numbers those who have not seen in
New York this brilliant comedy, which
has the hearty endorsement Of all man
ayers fortunate enough to secure this
splendid attraction.

SOME TESTIMONIALS.

AS a lecturer, Rev. John r.
Morris excels. Those who
heard what he had to say last
night are not surprised that he
has in the past graced the lee
ture platform and attracted
large audiences.-Wac Times
Herald,
A full house greeted Rev.
John Il. Morris at the Metho
dist church last night, and en-
ioyed his lecture on emusic.
From the poetical sublime to
the ridiculous was his scope,
and his imaginary descriptions
of choirs and singers was laugh
able, interspersed with tender
sentiment that swung to and fro
the pendulum of mirth and
memory in the hearts and minds
of his hearers. -Temple Daily
Times.
Rev. John r. Morris lectured
last night at the First Methodist
Episcopal church, and for a bout
three-quarters of the time the
large audience which filled the
church was kept in the throes
of agonizing laughter, DR..
Morris comes from Waco. He
is the pastor of the Morrow st.
Methodist Episcopal church of
that city, and had been chosen
as a fit and proper person to de
liver the second lecture in the
series given by the church, be.
cause of his native wit and his
ability to let his hearers have
benefit of it.-Dallas News.
The Morris lecture at the First
Methodist church last night was
another grand triumph for the
pastor who is giving these
treats to the public. A large
audience was present, despite
disagreeable weather, and those
who went considered themselves
very fortunate. Mr.. Morris is
a good speaker, and possessed
of most brilliant intellect that
compartments the foibles as well
as the deepest phases of human
existence. His humor is health
full and catching, and the sub
ject Music was not by any
means a dry discourse. Temple
