track One of the coaches was spec
ial car filed with Greek laborers and a
number of the Greeks were injured

last night on train No So and were
taken to Stormont hospital. Four of
those who were brought into Topeka
were Greeks and their names could not
be learned. w. F. Holmes of Centralia,
Mo-, John Armbauer and Elmer Ar
buckle were the other injured persons.
Holmes and Armbauer were cut and
bruised about the head but their in
juries are not thought to be serious.
The Greek .laborers escaped with but a
few minor cuts and bruises. Another
Greek who was injured more than the
others was brought in this morning and
taken to Stormont hospital. None of
the injuries will prove fatal.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct 31.-WHEAT-The wheat
market was in a very nervous condition
at the opening today. The first quota
lions were weak because of a decline of
one pence at Liverpool, weaker markets
on the continent and on account of the
action of the Bank of England in raising
it's rate of discount. Later the market
rallied and regained its early loss, and
then declined again. December wheat
opened s01Ac lower, at 964961zc, sold at
9ia4c, and then declined to $3.50. Mime
apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re-
ceiDts of sol cars.

A SCHEME OF JOHNS,
Fear OF Landlsdy Greater Than His
Love of Sleep.

John was sleepy.hcad, so celebrat-
ed, indeed that he had never been
known to wake up by what his family
called a natural process. So when he
went Off TO college II was only natural
that he should be presented with
alarm clocks from two OF his numer
GUS aunts.
One will be enough dear, said his
mother, but John took them both
He set the alarm OF one at the hour
Of rising and placed itat the head Of
his bead; the other he set IS minutes
later, and each night placed it at the
head of the stairs outside of his land
lady's door Then he wrote home
an account OF how it worked.
