SENSATIONAL GAIN
is MADE BY OATS

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-Amid scenes rival
ling the famous Patten corner of 1902,
the price of oats for September delivery
was advanced today to 80 cents compared
with a closing figure of "A 1-2 cents yes
terday.
With the knowledge that there was a
short interest in that option estimated at
2,OC0, 900 bushels, shorts bid furiously at
various times during the day in an eff
fort to close up their accounts before
the expiration of the time limit. this be-
ing the last day on which deliveries could
be made.
rhe sensational advance, which makes
a total gain for the week of more than
10 cents, was due to the concentration
OF the bulk of the contract grade grain
in the hands OF few leading cash grain
interests.

TWO ARE KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Parker Norton, Owner of Min
cola Press, and Edward Baker,
Garage Proprietor, Are Hurled
Against Telegraph Pole.
CBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Sept. S0.-Parker Newton
owner of the Mineola Press, and Ed
ward Baker, proprietor of the MineoIa
garage, were instantly killed last night.
in an automobile accident near Nine
ola, /. l.
The two men were returning to the vii
lage with the balloon Of George Stew
ems. the aeronaut. which had just de-
scended from a long flight across New
York and Long Island.
with the debated balloon packed in
the bottom of the car, William Watson
was driving it at a moderate rate OF
speed along a heavily shaded stretch OF
road when suddenly he saw heavy
farmers wagon ahead. To avoid col
lision he turned quickly to the right. His
machine struck a deep rut and swerved
into a telegraph pole.
THROWN ON SAND.
Watson was thrown head first over his
steering wheel and landed almost unin-
jured, in a sand bank. His companions,
however, were thrown heavily against the
telegraph pole. Their skulls were frac-
tured and both must have died instant
ly.
Stevens and his fellow aeronaut, DIR.
Daniel Lucas, a Hudson-Fulton ceIebra-
ton Official had proceeded to Mineola in
another car. After waiting nearly half
an hour for Watson, Mr.. Stevens be-
came alarmed at the long delay and
started back over the road to see what
was the matter.
FARMER KNEW NOTHING.
Just outside the village Stevens passed
farmers truck heavily laden coming
down the road along which Watson was
expected. The farmer had seen nothing,
he said, of the automobile. Farther on.
however, Stevens came upon the wrecked
machine. Watson was sitting half dazed
on a sand bank and the bodies Of Norton
and Baker lay nearby. The automobile
was completely wrecked.
The farmer, innocent cause of the
wreck, had gone on without stopping and
it seemed apparent that the rumble of
his cart had drowned the noise behind
him and that he knew nothing OF the
accident.

discussion was the water bonds PROPOSE
tion and the members were faily we'll
divided on the proposition. w. H., Green

resolution was finally tabled after "a
spirited discussion and II was decided
that the club would not take any action
either way on the proposition. although
the general sentiment was decidedly OPP
posed TO the bonds proposition.

value of the remaining portions Of the
plant, including South Omaha. is about
$3.50. 900. or a total value of $4,000. 900
for the entire plant. To this amount
he thought the courts would add for a
going value about another S750,00O. max
ing a total valuation of about $4,000. 900
for the entire plant
