Chicago, Dec. 26.-WHEAT-Selling by

weakening effect today on the local wheat
market. Worlds shipments for the week
We're much larger than had been general

ing bearish sentiment. Clear weather in

The feature in the corn market was a
drop of almost &c in the price of the De-
cember option, which fell from 475ke to

STILL AFTER DRENNING
May Be Asked to Apologize to City
Council.


F. G. Dreaming, city attorney, will
probably be asked to publicly apologize
to the city council for his tempestuous
manner in leaving the council Friday
evening when he was rebuked by the
mayor, and for statements contained in
his answer to the rebuke and which vas
published Saturday.
The members of the council are wrathy
in the first instance because the city
attorney did not stay until the rebuke
was completely delivered instead of leav-
ing the chamber and slamming the doors
in his departure. They consider this in
the light of an afront upon their dig
nifty.
In addition they take exceptions to
statements contained in Mr.. Dreaming s
published reply. The adjective Outfit,
which is applied by the city attorney to
the members of the council is anything
but acceptable to them. The statement
that all the members of the council were
in favor of compromising the Meade suit
by paying over the sum of $3.50 is de-
clared to be colored.
No intention of d meeting is given out
wet by the committee which was ap-
pointed to settle the differences between
the council and the city attorney. The
icofnrnfttee consists Of, the following;
councilman Nipps7 chairman, and Coun-
cilnen Ryder and Swendson.

MEET ON CHRISTMAS.
City Council Holds a Session to Take
in Addition.

The city council celebrated Christ
mas day by holding a brief session in
the afternoon. It came entirely unex-
pected and a majority Of the council
men only had twenty minutes notice
in advance that a meeting was con-
templated, four out of the twelve
councilmen were not informed and
were not in attendance.
The meeting was not a momentous
one, simply to take some land into the
city in the vicinity of the Santa Fe
shops. It was the intention to act
upon the matter at this evenings adj
jOurned meeting of the council but at
the last minute it was found that the
ordinance could not be acted upon I'M
less Mayor Davis, who left for Chicago
later in the day. presided. The sig
nature Of the president of the council
would not stand. A hurry call was
therefore sent around and the Gordon
tract east of the Santa Fe shops was
included into the city Of Topeka by a
formally passed ordinance. This was
all that was done and in a few min
utes after o'clock the council adj
journed. .ss-t - H.
This evening the council. meets pur-
suant to the adjournment taken FRI
day evening. Unless something new
turns UP at the last minute there will
be nothing for the council to act on.
No more additions can be taken in
this evening for which the meeting
was originally set and the odds and
ends of business were disposed of last
Friday evening.

 The bride was attired in beautiful gown of white French batistc and lace with hat to match, and carried an arm clustor of brid1s' roses. Miss McAdams wore costume of white French batiste with hat, and held a cluster of white carnations. Miss Cameron was gowned in white tissue and lace.
 After the ceremony an informal re- ception was held in honor of the young couple, and the brides cake was cut. It contained a ring and dime. The ring was cut by the little sister of the bride, Miss Ida May Galatas, and the dime fell to MT. Albert Galatas. An interesting fact concerning the ring is that Mrs. Galatas cut the same ring when she was little girl at her sis ter's wedding.
