He was sporty-looking chap, and he
was making a run through Kansas In his
big red touring car, Reaching a small town
and seeing an Officer mopping his brow
under a friendly shade tree he brought his
machine up TO the curb and said:
Il say, officer, can you tell fellow where
he can get a little gasoline In this town."
Gasoline, is it," said the officer with a
smile. Well that's a new one on me-
But say, Young man, this is a prohibition
town all right, and you couldn't get a drink

OMAHA, Aug. 5, 1906
There was scarcely any incentive to trade
In wheat today and prices were OF over ic
News was scarce. The only bullish factor
was continued unfavorable weather In
Europe and some parts Of the United
states. Prices dragged from the start with
light trade. The weather in the nortn-
west Is favorable September closed at
Corn rulad easier On better scCenta 1ces
and good crop conditions The weather in
general is fine for corn though there are
Illinois and Indiana September closed at
63c, old September at 5S1.u6S@sc December
at 45@qb1sc, old December at 45Ssc and
oats were heavy. Influenced by liberal re-
ceipts and affected by the pressure OF
Monday. September closed at 267sa &c, be-
cember a. 21S4c and May at 29Ssd 9%c.
The Missouri corn crop is officially esti-
mated at 26O 900 600 bushels compared with
IL, 900, coo bushels last year. The Depart
ment of Agriculture made the yield last
year suggested 2ll,O0O,o0O bushels. There
was no Liverpool market today. Primary
and OF corn $4,000 bushels.
Spring wheat Is being cut as far north
as seventy-fve miles northwest from Min
road reports some cutting OF early wheat
on its lines south of Fargo, n. d. The
United states consul at Toronto has sent
report to Washington that Ontario has
raised the largest crop In tweney years
Manitoba also will have enormous crops
Dennls says Lnat the siberian area, NnlCn
Is said to have crop above the avefage,
is 60 per cent of all Russian area.
Dennis, at Chicago. wired to the Adams
Grain company: I'VE have a fine sample
Of wheat from Ontario, which they are Of
fer1ng to Liverpool at SOC, c. 1. I. What
! show will America have to work much
wheat on the basis of such Canadian offer
ings, and especially what chance Will mid
! die American states have when Maryland,
| Pennsylvania and New York are now SELL
| Ing on the basis Of 75c in Baltimore and
| high"
Regarding oats, Patten says: "Oats are
/ on an export basis. Prices are 7dSc lower
| than last year and oats are passing into
| consumption freely The farmer in Illinois
| in the northwest around 20c I do not think
| they will work sixteen hours a day to sell
| oats at these prices. The export business
| 0f late to France and Italy means that
| Russia, which has been the largest eI-
| porter of oats, evidently has not the supply
| on hand to sell at present"

Legislature Acts Promptly on Gov.
Higgins Message.

Albany, N. Y, July 21.-There will
be legislative investigation of the life
insurance business as carried on in this
state, both by New York state corpora
tions and by those of other states doing
business in this state.
This investigation will be made by
special joint committee with ample
powers, of which the chairman will be
chester, Republican. The other Sena-
tors on the committee will be William
]. Tully, of Corning, Republican, and
Daniel J. Riordan, of New York city,
Democrat Senators Armstrong and
Tully are lawyers; Senator Riordan is
a real estate and insurance agent. The
two Republicans are said to have been
selected by Governor Higgins and Sen
ator Raines, Republican leader in the
senate, and Senator Riordan by the
Democratic senators. The five assem-
bly, members of the committee will be
named by Speaker Nixon within the
next day or two.
Chairman Armstrong said that,
while the actual hearings by the COM
mittee would probably not begin for
some time, the preliminary prepare
tons, calculations and so on, necessary
in preparation for the inquiry would
be set in motion as soon as possible
and the organization of the committee
would take place as soon as the assem-
bly, members had been appointed.
The institution of the committee fol-
| lowed hard upon a message of Gov
ernor Higgins to the legislature which
came as complete surprise.
Senator Armstrong introduced a reso
| luton providing for the appointment
| of a joint committee to investigate and
| examine into the business and affair;
