THE LOTTERY man" WRITTEN
and STAGED BY TWO WOMEN

'rhe Lottery Man." which comes to
Calumet Theatre next Friday evening,
September 80, was written and staged
by two women.
Rida Johnson Young is the author
and Edith Ellis was the stage director.
IT'S too bad that there aren't more

reputation, having written Mary

is somestimes just these little touches
which come to woman through her
intuitive powers which may not come
to man in a thousand years. There

they were excellent. A woman pro-

ACTIVE WORK ON PROPOSED
FIFTH STREET EXTENSION

The proposed extension of north
Fifth street, from Pine to the Copper
Range railroad tracks, going north,
now promises To become an accom-
plishing fact. Active work has been
begun by property owners and the viii
lage council of Red Jacket is looking
toward the consummation of the
scheme.
Ground has been broken for the
purpose of receiving the Anderson es-
tate property building, which now
stands in the direct line of the pro-
posed extension. This building, which
is "A two-story frame structure, stands
on Pine street, facing Fifth. 1t is pro-
posed to remove it to the rear of its
present site, so that the extension of
Fifth street may be made possible.
Street Commissioner NJ. Jacka has
already had many carloads of dirt
dumped on the proposed roadway fol
! filling purposes. 1t will take hun
dreds of tons of filling before the ne
cessary grade is established, and there
is very little prospest of this being
accomplished this year. However, tn
village authorities will do all in theii
mower to fill this 10 wground as rapid
lv as possible, SO that the extension
can be completed next spring.
Herman Bibber, who owns large
warehouse at the rear of Pine street
and which abutted somewhat on th'
proposed extension, has had this barr
faced toward the south, and has lie
a contract for the remodelling OF III
structure into residence. Contracto
Johnson has secured the contract, an'
already force of men is engaged OF
the job.
The stakes for the sidewalk. widtl
Of road, etc, for the proposed eXten
sion have been driven.

COTTON MARKET IS
SOMEWH LOWER
Opening Is at a Decline Fol
lowed By a Rally
NO SUPPORT BY BULLS
err Part of the Day and Aided By
Weakness In Liverpool the
Market Declines

New York, April 22-The cotton mar
lset showed continued nervousness today,
with prices ruling a little lower under
scattering liquidation and with the close
barely steady at net decline of 6 to 10
points.
The opening was steady at a decline
of to points in response to lower
cables than expected but prices very
quickly rallied on a renewal of short
covering and some little buying of new
crop months on continued frost COM
plants from the south and predictions
of frost tonight In parts of the south
west. There was no aggressive bull sup
port however. On the contrary offerings
of the near months were larger than
they were yesterday and after selling at
1850 for May and IA 60c for July the
market gradually eased off. Some thought
that the selling of May and July repre-
scented a reduction in the lines of the bull
people, but the offerings were not heavy
enough to suggest any real change in
the attitude of the leading bulls and
others attributed the offerings to the
scattered holdings in anticipation of the
first May notice day next week. Prob
ably some selling was promoted late in
the day by a rather disappointing week.
END statement from a Dull STANDPOINT.
Private cables reported that the Liver
pool market was very much disturbed by
reason of large financial losses resulting
from the failure of a southern spot firm,
announced earlier in the week, and APP
prehension of further troubles among
southern spot men were more or less of
factor In local circles.
Cotton stocks are accommodating rapidly
in New York, over $4,000 bales having
been received during the past nine days.
and the May shorts appear to be prepar-
ing to make large deliveries on the first
of May Southern spot markets officially
reported we're generally unchanged.
Nothing fresh developed in the matter
of the governments action against an
| alleged bull clique, but the possibilities
| in this direction formed the chief sub
| ject of trade discussion.
Receipts at the ports today 16491 bales
against 1928 last week and 2S,414 last
year. For the week $1,000 bales, against
Sc, 227 last week and 141, ia last year.
Todays receipts at New Orleans 154f

ANOTHER ADVANCE
IN WHEAT MARKET
Reports of Crop Damage Cause
a General Upturn
DEMAND rs IMPROVED
Day and Prices Close at An Adj
yance-Oats Are Unchanged
and Provisions Higher

Chicago, April 22.-Wheat was nervous
TO-DAY and In a final furry closed sc to
I;so higher, over-selling and reports of In
sect activity in southwestern fields being
the controlling factors in the upturn. Corn
kept a firm tone, with occasional relapses
and closed strong. Oats kept within mar
row limits, while provisions continued
their recent strength and closed from DC
to 10c higher for ribs and lard and zoe to
25c up for pork.
Early in the day prices were inclined
to weakness influenced by depressing
cables and an abundance of offerings. The
pit became oversold and offerings dried up
while reports of possibility of a decreased
crop through ravages of insects In the
southwestern fields added to the desire of
shorts to cover. The cash wheat market
also improved and added it's support to
the rising quotations In the last hour fu-
lures gained sharply, May going up to
1091s from S1.07as July advancing to
81 021h from its low point Of $1.01, and Sep
TENDER touching $1.01 from bottom of
995se. Statistical news showing large
worlds shipments and bearish continental
markets was ignored in the upturn. The
close was strong and near the top, with
May %d7sc up at 81. 08AQ1 .0S7s; July 1@11sc
higher at 81 .021s, and September 1e up at
81 007s.
Trade in the corn pit was on firm basis
throughout the day. barring momentary
weakness when fractional declines were
scored. The futures closed strong at from
ssc to 1sc up. In the upturn the demand
for cash corn played an important part,
end prices for spot advances about 1e.
No. 2 yellow sold at 59@6051c; May went
up from 571sc to 5Sssc, other futures gain
ing with it. The close was strong all
around, with May 15c higher at 58ssc.
Oats were weak most of the day, but adj
vapced toward the close of the session,
stimulated by the strength of wheat and
corn. The market moved within narrow
limits, and the volume of trade was linn
tied. The close was firm with May I'M
changed at 42c and July and September
showing slight gains. Provisions were
generally higher throughout the session
ard CLOSED at an advance of from DC to
&c, although profit-taking sales caused a
slight reaction at times. The controlling
factors were the reduced arrivals of live
hogs at the packing centers and increased
Ices for the animals. Closing quota
lions on the May products were: Pork,
221zc higher at $22 .1214; lard, sc higher
al $3.50; ribs. 10c up at sl2.421s.

Hubbard Bros. q Co.'S Letter

New York, April 22-(speeial.)- mar
Set today ruled quiet, with more offerings
of May and July, which together with
good weather caused a slight decline.
Many rumors were in circulation regard
ing the affairs of the firm which failed
in Alabama on Wednesday and the extent
of the losses in Europe on Irregularities
in bills of lading. All documents are be-
Ing most carefully examined, and infor-
nation is being sought as to shipments.
With this uneasiness in existence the
market is naturally quiet awaiting de-
volopments.
Our crop advices report the crop in the
southwest as starting under most favor
able circumstances. The trade thought
tfat the Mays sold today came from some
OF the smaller accounts. Liverpool is re-
ported as being SO badly hurt by this Ala
lama failure that we must expect quiet
markets from abroad for some little time.
