RUSHING WORK ON CHURCH.
New Central Congregational Will Be
Ready in October.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
Central Congregational church which
is in the process of being remodeled,
the congregation hoping to be able to
attend services in the reconstructed
edifice by the first of October.
The plan which is being carried is
quite elaborate and will probably
necessitate an expenditure of $40, 900
before the work is completed. The
main entrance will be on Buchanan
street.
The seating capacity of the church
will be greatly increased, the facilities
for the accommodation of the pri-
mary department of the Sunday
school enhanced and commodious
class rooms installed in the basement
for the use of the Sunday school.
Memorial windows will be put in
by Mr.. Otis L. Benton of Oberlin,
Mrs. T. S. Handy of New York city
and Rev. Mr.. Charles M. Sheldon
together with his sisters and brother
who are presenting the church in
honor of their mother, Mrs. Stewart
Sheldon.
The organ which is the gift of Mr.
E. B. Merriam and his children has
been constructed in Boston and is
ready for shipment as soon as it is
required.

DETECTION IN A BALL TEAM.
Little Catholics Tell Story of Their
Defeat of Former Player.

A delegation of several of the mem
bers of the little Catholic baseball
team called on the sporting editor
this morning and submitted the fol-
lowing account of a baseball game
played Tuesday afternoon after
school hours. The story as written by
the Little Catholics is given verbatim:
"The Little Catholics yesterday de-
feated the scrubs who belong to
Manager Basil Hartly. He was re-
leased by the Little Catholics last
week and later got up a club. The
Catholics have played five games and
have lost none. Hartly was said to
be one Of the poorest pitchers that
belonged to such a strong club. Over
the release Hartly had fight with
another player. He got black eye
and was layed out The game only
went five innings" Score by innings:

cago and Kansas City Boards of Trade. !
Chicago, May 12.-WHEAT-Gos
among wheat traders is much mixed.
There is not now the excessive oversoId
condition that existed Monday night
but there is still lrage outstanding
short interest and the bears showed
much nervousness toward the close last
night. Those no are very friendly to
the buying side say that on any break
today wheat will do to buy for turn
and some students of the present con-
ditions are advising purchases on all
declines. They look on the market as
one that is not likely to go to pieces all
at once from a rain storm or from bear
pressure and stocks are too large to ad-
nit of a permancy to the declines so
long as the majority OF traders are dis
posed to regard the crop reports as
bullish
CORN-Traders are confronted with
the most perplexing situation of the
season There is practically no con-
tract corn here that has not been sold
The visible supply is down to the low
est point at this season in a long
period. Farmers are still bullish and Il
Is natural to suppose they will sell
some corn but those who are bullfsh
are not looking for heavy receipts and
say that 1t will take a heavy run for
several weeks to replenish stocks and
cause a permanent break In prices
OATS-A good many cash buyers in
oats are bullish. There were cancella-
tons of receipts Monday for 100, DO
bushels standard, which are to be load
ed out of the Rock Island elevator Ar
mour being the shipper. There is a
story going around that oats are to be
shipped out.-Inter-Ocean.

Direct Nominations Bill Defeated.

Boston, May 12.-The advocates of
direct nominations received a decisive
defeat in the house of representatives
when the bill extending such privileges
to nominations for senators and repre-
sentatives was killed by a vote of II
to 81.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-05-12

wheat prices every where are so high
| that an important break in futures
| seems out of the question. It looks
| like a good big trading market in
| which it will do to take profits on long
| wheat on the swellS for the present I'M
| til more is known about both winter
| and spring crops. If still dry over the
southwest, should be strong market to-
| day regardless of everything else.
CORN-Traders are certainly puz-
zled. Some of the receivers claim that
early planting Is already finished and
there is little indications of much in
crease in the movement. Local bears
and many conservative people in the
trade rather favor the short selling side
on the hard spots, believing that d
great quantity of corn must come for
ward in the next thirty or sixty days.
The market will be stubborn, how
ever, until Chicago gets some stocks or
corn. Cash prices are too much above
the late months to make short selling
proposition safe except on the good
swells.
PROVISIONS250o 900 hogs against
$4,000 estimated. Improved demand for
lard yesterday was mostly for foreign
account. Jobbers and packers were
best buyers. Quality of hogs not so

President Taft's tentative plan for
changing the form of government for
the District of Columbia into one
man rule does not contemplate in any
way at this time the exercise of suf-
frage in the district. This is
thoroughly understood in administra-
ton circles. where it is stated that
Mr.. Taft considers Washington ma
tional property as we'll as the home
city of those who reside here
His idea on this point is that the
national government bears one-half
of the expense of running the dis
trict government, and that as this is
the proper course. it would not be
wise to put the government entirely
in the hands of the people of Wash
ington.
