Chicago, III. June 3Oth. WHEAT
The market opened at about last
nights figures with the undertone
rather weak in sympathy with for
eign markets. Liverpool cables re-
ported IA lower for wheat and SIS
lower for Corn Receipts of wheat
in the northwest were considerably
larger than last year. being 246 cars
against l99 a year ago.
The movement OF wheat from the
winter wheat belt has just begun and
it is expected that the receipts OF
grain will begin to increase in the
Chicago markets in the next fort
night. this feature did not add any
thing to strengthen the market The
cash situation is reported easier than
any time this week. foreign houses
have not made any effort TO buy
grain in American markets.
CORN.-The market for corn was
again buoyant and higher, the July
option scoring an advance of a full
cent and maintaining almost all of
it, There is undoubtedly a large
short interest in corn and it is becom-
ing rather unwieldy. combined with
this fact, the weather for growing
corn has not been as good as expected
for the last few days
OATS.-The market for this cereal
was of a rather Disappointing char
acter in view of the extreme strength
in Corn, but the bull element sue
ceeded in advancing the prices of the
active futures about IL cent all
around and closed the market firm
at about the high figures for the day.
PROVISIONS. ~ The market for
Provisions was dull and featureless
and confined TO a very narrow range
of fluctuations, the entire range of
July Pork being but Is cents and
September II 1-2.
The stock yards reported hogs a
shade higher there with receipts
slightly under estimates.

MOTHER DID NOT JUMP FROM
TRAIN AFTER BIRTH OF CHILD
Mrs. Bowen Who Figured In Unusual
Case at Chicago Passenger Station
Is Not Known In Hammond Where
She Claims Residence.

The report that Mrs. Bowen after
the birth of her child jumped from
a swiftly moving train at 18th st. is
not true and although the actual
facts of the case are sensational they
were highly colored by the reports
in the newspapers.
1t was not until after the Lake
Shore suburban pulled into the La
Sale st. station and the crowds had
left the coaches that Mrs. Bowen
gave birth to her child.
Even the conductor knew nothing
of the incident until in passing
through one of the coaches he heard
faint cry. At first he thought it
was a dog whining but upon invest
igating he found the child on one of
the seats in the car.
1t was known that the woman had
not gone out through the gate at the
station and so a search was made of
the yards.
Detectives on two switch engines
were sent out to make the search
and not until they had gone as far
as 10th st. was the woman found.
She was temporarily demented on
account of her suffering and resist
ed the officers when they attempted
to take her to the hospital.
Mrs. Bowen who says she was de-
serted by Alfred Bowen six months
ago claims Hammond as her place
of residence but she is not known
here and there is no one by the name
of Alfred Bowen who receives mail
at the local post-office.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S PICNIC
rs BROKEN UP BY STORM.
In the Excitement Chaperons Fail to
Gather up ALI Their Charges and
Some are Lost in the Wood.

Gary, Ind, June 80. Especial to
Lake County Times.-Two coaches
full of happy children stepped off
the train at Miller Station yesterday
morning. They were from the pub
lie school at 42nd street and Wallace
avenue in Chicago and were having
this outing as a pleasant ending to
this school year.
After lunch, the principal and the
eight teachers who had the children
in charge. allowed them, or as many
as wished, to go in bathing, and
when the storm arose hurriedly
called the little ones together and
started for the coaches. In their
hurry they carelessly omitted to
note whether all were along or not
and eleven of them were left be-
hind. The eleven dressed with the
exception of shoes and stockings and
hurried to catch up, but became be-
wildered in the woods and wandered
around for several hours unable TO
find the way. Finally they came in
sight of the station at Gary, and
came up there, telling amid their
sobs. their story to the agent.
He hastily wired Millers and
found that the children had by that
time been missed, and told the
teachers there that the children
were here.
When the train pulled in here on
its way back, the tears became tears
of JOY and the little ones were safely
loaded into the train, most of them
being minus shoes and stockings
however which they had lost dpring
their wanderings.
