 Chicago, Feb. 4.-Under active cover ing by shorts, wheat for July. delivery today sold at 1.02. The market closed at the highest point of the day with July showing a net advance of 1-Sc. Corn Is up 1-2c oats are up IA and pro- visions are unchanged. Interest in the wheat pit centered on the July de- livery Throughout the entire day there was urgent demand from shorts. The price of the distant deliveries ad- vanced with the session. Under the influence of higher cables and bullish advances from Argentina the market opened firm with July up 1-8 to 3-8 at 100 IA to 12. May was shade lower to Is to 1-4c at L16 1-4 to 1.16 1-2. While there was some pres sure on May by a leading holder the July option from the start was in &C., tive demand Seemingly there was large short interest in the July option. A report was current that Wall Street clique was lifting in the distant options in unloading a large load or May. While July went upward the May option for a time Jagged behind, selling off to 1.16. Later the price for May delivery started upward and good advance was made. A large de- crease in primary receipts partly ac- counted for the rise in May. Just be- fore the close a fresh outburst of buy ing sent prices to the highest point of the day. May touching 1.17 7-S and July 1.UG. July ClOS6u ut Nh0 bOP' Final quotations on May were III. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 16,300 bushels Primary re- ceipts were 361,400 bushels compared with 577,6 a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 239 cars, against 2S1 last week and 2S5 a year ago.
 Sentiment in the corn pit was bullish and the volume Of trading was fairly large. Buying was principally by shorts, who were somewhat alarmed at the bullish advices from Argentina. A statement that exportable surplus Of corn from that country would be large ly decreased this year was one of the sources of anxiety to shorts. Strength of wheat also helped to stimulate a demand for corn. May opened un- changed to 1Sc higher at A 7-S to 45, sold up to 45 1-2 and closed at 45 3-Sc. Local receipts were 265 cars, with one of contract grade.
 Firmness of other marlkts was re- fiected in a better demand for oats and prices ranged al a slightly higher level. Continued light movement from the country and a steady reduction or stocks so aided the advancing tendency May opened a shade to Is to l-4c to 1-2, sold up to 30 5-S and closed at 30 5-S. Local receipts fifty cars.
 Provisions quiet, but firm. The prin- cipal factor in the situation was large decrease in receipts of live hogs. The May products closed at yesterday s final quotations with pork at 12.S1 1-2, lard 6.92 1-2 and ribs at 6.S7 1-2.

and six months.

Definite announcement concerning the
funeral will be made later. It will pro-
badly take place Friday afternoon from
the First Methodist church
Rev. Mr. Martin was one of the fac
tors in building up Topeka. His great
energy and wonderful amount of push
led him into various kinds of business
pursuits, the majority of which turned
out successfully. He was born in West
MiddIetOwn, Washington county, Penn
sylvania, July II. 1915. Left an orphan
at the age of "A he entered a tailor S
shop as apprentice and learned that
trade. He started a. business of his own
at Washington, Guernsey county, Ohio,
but getting the western fever, he re-
moved 70 Iowa He started to set up a
Touring mill, but it was burned to the
ground before completed. For a time
he traded in cattle.
In November, 1876, he came to Tope-
ka. With his brother, Jonathan Mar
tin, he opened up a tailor shop. Inter
eSted as he always was in real estate
business he began building in Topeka
At that time there was but one store
building on the west side of Kansas
avenue between Eighth and Tenth
streets. He at once set to work and
erected seven structures between those
streets. The buildings now occupied by
J. K. Jones, the Mutascope company,
and Semple'S restaurant were built by
him, and the four one story structures
between Ninth and Tenth streets were
his. lie Tnen turned MS aIIenLlOn TO
plating what is now known as Martin
& Dennis addition In 1886 he acquired
100 acres between the fair grounds and
Washburn college and cut up the tract
into 7S7 lots. ]. H Dennis was his part
ner in the venture. 1t proved profit
able.
OF late years Mr.. Martin devoted his
time to selling real estate. During the
last few years, however, he practically
retired from the business field.
Mr. Martin was V6rV claritabIV dis
posed. He made 1t a special point to
aid poor people in getting homes in
Martin and Dennis addition, and fire.
quently stories are told concerning his
lfberaIity in that direction. He gave
Euclid church the tract of ground it
now occupies, and did much towards
building the edifice. He was one of the
men who subscribed $1,000 towards the
building of the Topeka Rapid Transit
company, and was the first one to pay
his subscription.
Mr. Martin obtained his title as
Methodist minister at Wheeling, w.
Va. He was ordained, but never took
a regular charge because of his large
family. He preached very frequently
however.
Rev. Martin was married to Miss
Hannah DilIey at Senecaville, Guernsey
county Ohio Twelve children follow
ed this union, of whom eight are still
living. They are as follows: Jno. w.
Martin, ]. D. Martin. J. 5. Martin,
Miss Mamie c. Martin. Miss Dollie
Martin' Mart ali of Topeka; Robert e. Mar
fin. San Francisco; Mrs. ]. B. Marlng,
Centerville, Ia, and Mrs. F. A. Hill,
Seattle. Wash. Mrs. Martin died about
fen years ago. About a year later Rev.
Martin married again, but separated
from his wife shortly afterwards.

BEGINS ITS GROWTH.
Twelve New Members Added to Com.
mercia1 Club.

Charles K. Holiday has been president
of the Topeka Commercial club one week
and he has in that time secured twelve
new members to the club, or an average
of two a day for the week.
The club now numbers less than 300
members, but Mr.. Holiday has set LOCO
as the mark to be reached within the
year. He urges everyone to take an in
terest in the Commercial club and in the
matters of vital interest and Importance
to the city and begins by setting great
example.
Mr.. Holiday will try to secure an av-
erage of two members per day for the
club. If he is successful the spirit of
work and his energy will infuse the whole
club and the club will not only be in
creased to 1000 members but it will be
without doubt the most prosperous year
in its history.
President Holiday recognizes that op-
portunity should be taken advantage of
when it is offered. He is far-sighted
enough to see that the coming year means
much for Topeka, either in the matter
of progress or retrogradation- He is en-
thusiastic in his work at the head of the
club, and his energy and progressive spirit
is bound to make itself felt
The following are the names OF the new
members of the club secured by Mr.. Hol-

cheered as they bolted the nomination
of the state chairman.
1t is reported that the name of
Major William Warner, of Kansas

threatening to leave the Niedringhaus
forces. Representative Lynn. of Kan

said:
st cannot say at this time whether
we will spring Warmers name. We

1t will be impossible for Niedring-

politicians, to rally the Kerens men to
his aid and as the Democrats are
solidly organized there seems to be
absolutely no consolation for him IN
the situation as it now stands.
When the result of the first ballot

Rush FOR MELBA SEATS
One-third the Auditorium Has Already
Been Sold Out.

One-third of the house for the Melba
concert in the Auditorium on next
Monday evening has been sold out.
There was special activity in the sale
at o'clock this morning at StansfeId's s
at which time the chart was opened.
Many reservations have also been made
through mail for the past ten days
In the neighborhood of three hund-
red reservations calling for one or
more tickets have been made in this
manner The majority of these are
confined to purchasers IN the city and
from out of town points. The only
places which made reservations thus
far are Emporia, Holton, Horton and
Manhattan. The dollar seats both
down stairs and in the balcony have
been the most attractive, but there
are still good ones left. The distri-
button of the seats reserved has been
impartial as regards the balcony and
with Nordica has proven to Topeka
audiences that grand opera. singer
of the first water can be heard in the
farthest recess of the house.
A SPECIAL excursion will be run over
the Rock Island to accommodate a
party of people from Horton who will
come down for the evenings program.
The train will ret8rn to Horton after
the concert
a more attractive program than
that planned for this occasion could
hardly be desired as it introduces Mime.
Melba. in a varied list of the brightest
gems of her concert repertoire and
affords a hearing or her marvellous
voice in compositions in which she
has aroused the enthusiasm of the

brilliant young Italian harp soloist;
Mr. Ellison Van Hoose. the talented

soloist, will also be heard to the best
possible advantage

And The FLAG,TOO
Senator Miller Who Was Voted
One Returns 1t.
Done So Quietly That Few Knew
1t.

A fine large flag is draped over the
back Of the presidents stand in the
senate chamber.
A mystery surrounds this flag and
as yet the mystery has not been ex-
planned.
Whose flag is it?
Was it returned to the senate cham
Der by Senator H. B. Miller, from
Usage?
The nag was placed over the presi-
dents stand very quietly and without
any announcement and many are
wondering where the flag came from.
Sergeant at Arms Lockard says the
flag came from the Office OF the sec
Secretary of state Burrow was
asked if the flag came from his office
and he said he had the flag placed in
the senate chamber.
Did Senator Miller return it to
the senate ?" was asked of Mr.. Bur
II had the flag placed there" was
the evasive answer.
At the session of theslegislature two
years ago the house voted Speaker
Pringle, from Usage county, a chair
Hand cot" The senate voted to Sen
ator Miller, from Usage county, a flag.
Representative Pringle a. has re-
turned his gifts to the htngse.
AT the county convention which re-
nominated Senator Miller the senator
promised that if he was returned to
the senate he would return the flag.
Is the flag over the presidents desk the
flag presented to Senator Miller two wears
ago? 1t looks exactly like the one given
him, and the senators who were here two
years go and voted the flag to Senator
Miller think it is the same one, and they
think that Senator Miller has quietly and
without Wit any encouragement an 6id carried out
stituents and returned the flag.

FOR SLOCUM DISASTER.
Two Steamboat Inspectors Are Placed
ON Trial.

New York. Jan. 1s.-Charged with
fraud, misconduct and violation of law
n connection with the inspection of the
excursion steamer General Slocunl.
which was burned in East river last
June with a loss of more than a thou
sand lives. John ". Fleming and Henry
Dundberg, formerly attached to the To-
cal Office of United States inspectors of
steamboats, were placed on trial today
before Judge Thomas in the criminal
branch of the United States court. The
indictment against Fleming and Lund-
berg is based on the section Of the Uni
ted States statutes which makes neg
lect in the inspection of steam vessel as
the result of which life is destroyed
granddaughter. The trial of the two
former government inspectors is con-
sidered important. because it is to be
followed by the prosecution of the off,
GERS of the General Slocum and the
members of the Knickerbocker Steam
ship company, owners Of the vessel.
