Chicago, H.. July 20.-Wheat
started off weak this morning not
withstanding the fact that the north
west continued sending in bull
stories on their crop. black rust is
again the bugbear that used to boost
prices, but it is gradually losing its
effect as a market factor and to-
days decline was brought about by
traders who are Of the opinion that
there is a great deal OF exaggeration
in these stories. The selling Of
wheat today was the best SO far this
week and prices gradually receded
under it until they reached the
former low prices for both July and
September. Receipts of wheat at
all markets continue large and the
cash demand is not keeping up with
the arrivals.

MARRIED AT MIDNIGHT
AFTER HOURS OF WAITING
Chicago Couple Comes to Hammond
to Get Married and Fail to Get a
License Until Clerk is Located.

Frank w. johnson, a Chicag go
manufacturer and Miss Florence a.
Adank also of Chicago, came to Ham
mond last evening accompanied by
two friends and patiently waited in
their automobile in front of the
court house until Deputy Clerk Car
RE Miles could be located to issue
a marriage license.
1t was long after 10 o'clock when
Miss Miles could be located. The
necessary papers were made out in
a hurry and as the town clock struck
twelve Judge McMahan pronounced
the solemn words that united the
long-waiting couple in marriage.
A piano that found its way into
the court house long ago, was press
ed into service and Lohengrin's we'd
ding march pealed forth into the
still night, while ) couple of hobos
in the nearby jail beat time with
their weary feet
It is useless to say that the bride
shed a few tears at the indica-
lions toward disappointment, which
however, passed away when Miss
Miles arrived with the big key.

tor will tell Of his own conversion and

spirit. The large chorus choir under the
leadership of Mr.. Will Incl gave us
some good singing last Sunday and this
part of the service promises to be of
much help each Sunday. We are plan
ming to commence special revival meet
ings Immediately following Christmas.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Cannot Be Opened for Sixty Days on
Account of Waiting for Fixtures.
The Library board has met with some
difficulty In getting the fixtures here for
the building. The people who furnish
ihe supplies seem to be behind with their
orders. The board held a meeting last
Friday, and ARE anxious to hurry the
work as much as possible. The board
has found that 1t will be impossible to get
the book rackIdelivered here before the
end Of sixty days time. The painting of
the interior, and the putting in Of the
electric light fixtures will be finished
soon, and after that time the building
will probably be opened for some enter.
tainments in the interest of the library.
1t is unfortunate that 1t takes so much
time to get the library opened. as this Is
the season of the year when it would be
in the most demand, but there seems to
be no show of Its being ready for the
public before the first of February.

NOTHING AT PRESENT.
Seems to be the Plan to Let the
Waterworks Question Rest Eor
h Time Being.

A good many people have asked the
writer II anything is ION" In the way Of
new Water works contract between the
Company and the city. In answer 1t
may be said that there Is nothing that is
visible, at least to the naked eye. The
company, 1t Is understood, has recently
submitted form of ordinance to the
council, or to the water and light COM
mittee, one or the other, for new far {.
chise. The council, or committee, which
ever received it has looked at 1t, and did
not like the looks of ii, most likely.
Nothing has been done, aud it does not
seem probable that any thing will be
done for the present.
The people who favor getting things
in shape for the city building its own
water works are plentiful In town,
whether they are right or wrong. Of
course they are right, if a reasonable
contract can not be made with the pres
ent company. Whether the company
would be satisfied with a reasonable
contract or not the writer does not know.
There are no doubt some people in town
who would not be satisfied, with any
thing, but there are not many of them
If the company come forward with "A
fair and reasonable contract, without
waiting too long, 1t is probable that a
great many people will favor continuing
the service. The question of deeper wells
and better water is now an important
factor in deciding what should be done,
and it is question that will pot be over
looked. In handling the matter the
people should not be looking for the
best of it. just straight out fair deal is
enough, and just that much the people
and the council should insist on having.
