developing IN our country who need op-

view and absorb the style OF many of
these artists. In the entrance pavilion
OF the south hall II. o. Walker has a series
OF eight paintings, wonderfully soft and
beautiful in color. and most poetic In con-
ception. 1.-THE Muse OF Lyric Poetry" oc-

idealization OF the muse. striking her Tyre

Around her are Passion, Beauty AMI Mirth;

Edmund Day has found a new way of ak
plotting the aggressive western commercial
instinct With the methods Of the modern
trusts as his pattern he has forced a score
or more of Denver's leading society ana
business men into a syndicate OF crirns
This syndicate has organized the best
criminal talent In the country for various
nefarious purposes and operate after the
manner OF the up-to-date business corpo-
ration. All Of the plans are mnde by the
board OF directors, who are men in touch
with business and are In a position To
know where and when a good haul can be
made either in holding up a train or rob-
bling bank. The cleverest men of the
various branches OF the profession are
selected to do the actual work and given
plans and instructions as to the manner

who manipulate this criminal trust do not

This piece is by the noted playwright, Hal

laid in the far west in mining camp

and striking situations are introduced. A
carload Of special scenery is carried for the
production. The third act In particular is

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Juiv 17.--Large primary re-
ceipts had a weakening effect today on
the local wheat market final quotations
ON September being dow, Fac. Corn was
off 1s64c. Oats was practically I'm
changed Provisions were 212c lower TO
212c higher.
The wheat market was dominated by
the bears throughout the day. AT the
opening the market was influenced by
lower prices at Liverpool and liberal 10
cal receipts. Weather conditions in this
country were also favorable to the bears,
there having been very little rain in the
last tWenty-fOur hours. Many local trad
ers who bought yesterday were eager to
sell today, ard their offerings were aug
mented by those of cash houses who had
received advices from the country tell
ing of heavy acceptances of bids sent out
last night Primary receipts continued
unusually heavy and this caused addi-
tional weakness late in the day despite
the fact that sales for export were re-
ported from Minneapolis and New York.
The market closed weak with prices al
most at the lowest point. September
opened &c to PC lower at 1880 to 771bc,
sold off to 771aG775sc and closed at 775sc
Corn held steady on a good demand
from commission houses and cash buyers
despite the weakness of wheat. Cash
houses reported very light acceptances of
bids, and this was one of the chief rea-
sons for the steady tone. The estimate
of tomarrow's arrivals showed a con-
siderable falling off. The close was
firm. September opened a shade lower
at 515sc. sold between 513sc and 515s65l%c
and closed at 511ac.
Oats were a trifle easier on moderate
selling by cash houses. The demand came
largely from brokers and pit traders.
September opened shade to 1sGAc lower
at $3.50 to 94szc. sold between S4j2c and
347sc and closed at 3434c.
