PRICE TAKES
DECIDED SLUMP
Millions of Bushels of
Wheat Thrown on
Market BY Bears.
BY United Press Wire


Chicago. May 26.---When the grain
market closed one of the most excit-
ing days in months, wheat dealers
had decided that the drive in all
wheat options meant that the May
deal had collapsed and that the longs
were unloading. The close in May was
3 1-2c under the opening and sales
were enormous. The July option was
dpwn 1-2c and September 3-4c
Corn and oats were weak I'm sym.
pathy.
Chicago. May 26-Thc bears threw
millions of bushels of wheat into the
market today and at noon the May
option had lost over four counts
since the opening. Selling at O6 1-2
was then in progress against l 10 1-2
at the opening and a high range of
pearly IL. 1t was estimated al noon
that 3.5O0.000 bushels had been sold.
Much OF this was turned over by
Patten brokers end allied interests.
The pit believed that Waterman, the
present May bull leader, had made a
private settlement with the chief
bears and the heavy sales was a re-
suit. Eastern wheat dealers were al
so heavy sellers here and the market
was generally demoralized.
/ Traders were at loss to under
stand where the flood of wheat was
coming from but Patten got the credit
for the bulk of the selling.
.6uly wheat was Ia under the
opening and the September option was
on the same amount on continued
and heavy sales.
sThe theory of the pit that Water
man had settled with the shorts was
strengthened by the report that near
" 100000 bushels of Duluth No. / i
northern wheat, headed for Chicago
and supposed to be for Armour grain
Company deliverey on May contracts
here. had been diverted suddenly to
Buffalo.

WHEAT TAKES A
THREE CENT DROP

New York, May 26.-After mid-d day
today the wheat market became de-
moralizcd under very heavy selling
orders and for a time there was a
near-panic In the pit, prices breaking
three cents a bushel from the high
est point of the day.
There were insistent rumors that
the long holdings of James A. Patten
and his followers were being liqui-
dated through commission houses
here May wheat was very weak on
the rumor that the holders of May
options were settling with the shorts
on private basis, instead of squeez-
ing them.

EATING CORN DOES
 NOT CAUSE PELlAGRA
Scientist Claims That a Blood-Sucking Ely Carries the nisease--Disease centers Identical With
 Habitat Of Fly.

Baltimore, Oct. 29.--"The eating of corn, whether in a sound or unsound condition, has no more to do with originating that dread disease, pei lagra, than the eating of oysters" Dr. Frederick Wimby of London, England, said here.
 "The spoiled corn theory is an old one,' he said, but I think it has been completely upset by recent scientific investigation in a number of Italian provinces where pellagra has claimed many victims for generations Maize, or Indian corn, cannot account for the malady, since many pellagrins are found in districts where that cereal is unknown and where the per ons affected never used it as food.
 just as a species of mosquito is re- lponsible for yellow fever infection, 10 is there an insect carrier that. dis. seminates pellagra. It is nothing aore nor less than a sand fly of the genus simuliuni. a blood-sucking in- feet with a geographical range coinci- dent with the zone of the disease and having the same periods of occurrence n the spring and autumn of each year The disease centers have been found identical with the habitat of this sand fly.

RAILROAD LAWYERS LOOKING FOR WEAK SPOTS IN
 RATE LAW.
100 HIGH PRICED MEN WORKING
Express and Railroad Companies Have Organized to Defeat Law-All Pro ceedings secret-The Constitution allty of New Court to Be Tested.

New York, Oct. 2s.--Continuing their search for some flaw-technical or other wise whereby they may in some manner attack or evade the operation of the new railroad rate law which establishes commerce court to decide rate questions, the 100 high salaried railroad lawyers in session at the Waldorf Astoria spent seven solid hours in debate.
 They must have found the law establishing the commerce court . pretty hard thing to get around, for the best they were abie to do after all that time was to frame series of questions addressed to the Interstate Commerce commission and to the new court. asking for knowledge concern ing the scope of the courts power and jurisdiction. They may take some other action before the end of their convention which will terminate Fri day; but the list of questions repre- sents the sum total of their efforts to date.
 With the secrecy that has marked their every move the railroad attor neys did not even give out news ol this action It had to be learned in another manner. All that the Chair man Col. Henry l.. Stone, of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad would say at the end of the session was:
 "We have done nothing but discuss various features of the recent legis lation establishing a commerce court We did not go deeply into the mattei of the new courts constitutionality We dealt chiefly with the scope of iti powers. We framed no plan of pro ceedure.
 "We decided not to do so at pres ent" Col Stone said
 We cannot allow any information to get out of our possession" sait 'ol. Stone.
 It became known that the big ex Aress companies have joined with the
 ailroads in trying to devise some means of legally combating the new tribunal Charles w. Stockton, attor rey for the Wells Fargo, made a long address and representatives of the other big express carriers took part.
 The atmosphere of the whole gath ering was by no means cheerful Alp parently the railroads are badly scared at the new legislation. The air of de pression was not at all frightened when the lawyers learned from the evening papers that the Interstate Commerce commission had issued orders that certain advances in freight rates cheduled to go into effect on Novem- Der 1, must not become operative until March 1 and may be not then.
 Some Of the lawyers privately ad- mitted that the feature of the new court they feared most was it's ap- parent power to suspend increased rates as was done, at the outset of legislation, thus depriving the rail roads of their usual gainful power sf maintaining the high rates and profit ing by them during legal battles that might be prolonged for years.

CHARGES AGAINST
 SHERIFF-COLLECTOR
J. ". Cunningham Removed From or flee Because of Two Indictments = Matter Promptly Straight
 ened Up.

A surprise was created in circus court at the close of the argument ii Coughran murder case late Friday evening when Judge Steel called Sher if Cunningham before him and in formed the officer of the court that two indictments had been returned against him by the grand jury and il would therefore become necessary fol him to be removed from office pending the charges.
 Sheriff Cunningham s expression in. dicated his surprise. but in his quiet way he assented and expressed his willingness to meet the charges.
 Both indictments charge misfeas- ance in office, one as sheriff and one as collector. They are based on a failure to make settlement with the county court of moneys collected and moneys he should have collected as required by law.
 It seems that a determination on the part of the grand jury to correct a slack method of forcing the collec- ton of court fines, which has been in vogue in Polk county for many years, has brought the trouble on the pres ent sheriff.
 To promptly rectify the matter over $500 was paid in to County Clerk Parker Saturday, which will more than cover the amounts charged against the sheriff as uncollected.
 Sheriff Cunningham s term of office would have expired Monday night had there been no action against him, and Nj. B. Legate, who was sworn in as sheriff immediately following the re- moval of the sheriff, will hold the of flee until sheriff-elect Thornton is sworn in.
 The removal of the sheriff of course carried with it all his deputies.
 This caused considerable confusion Two of the deputies. Ben Gipson and Henry McGinnis, came up from down the road with Greg Johnson. charged with larceny. There was no jailer tc receive their man, so they had tc guard him until Saturday morning.
 Sheriff Legate Saturday had J A. Bellew. James Allen, Ben Gipsor and Pink" Mount sworn in as depu- ties.

AN OLD FASHIONED EVENT
The Athenian Literary Society Gives Its First Entertainment at High
 School.

The High School entertainment, which was to have been given last week but was postponed on account Fof disabled heating plant in the High School building, was given last Friday night.
 The attendance was not as good as wished for. but the cold wave which had a grip on Mena was partly to blame for the small turnout. Principal W. c. Bryant was to have been in charge of the entertainment but on account of the sickness of Mrs. Bryant, he was unable to be there and Prof. w. T. Adams took charge.
 The opening number on the program was a song. My Old Kentucky Home. ' by the Glee Club. This was given in first class way and was much enjoy ed.
 Following this, Prof. Adams made a short talk. He told of the oreaniza- ton last week ofthe Athenian Literary Society. It is the plain of the society to hold a meeting every two weeks on Friday. Once a month the meeting will be held at night so that the par eats and friends of the members can have an opportunity to see what pro- gress the club is making.
 The time ofthe society will be largely taken by literary contests and debates.
 Following Prof. Adams talk, Miss Willella Crowson gave a recitation, the story of the love and patriotism of a maiden of Revolutionary times. So we'll was it rendered that she was called upon for an encore.
 Miss Mildred De Longy was next, with vocal solo, entitled Tn The Gloaming."
 Loves Old Sweet Song was then given by quartet composed ofMisses Eva Hoge. Mildred De Loney, Irene Hudgins and Pansy Harmon.
 The next number, q vocal solo by Lige Horner, was very unusual from the fact that solo by a young man in high school is very rare. Lige showed that young men could sing a solo as vel as young ladies and he was called on for an encore. The title of his song was Garry Me Back to Old Virginia. Prof. Adams and w. NJ. Pipkin then chose sides for an old fashioned spell ing match. After very warm con- test Miss Mabel Hughes on Prof. Adams side was declared the winner Mir. Pipkin, who was last to go down on his side, coming finally to his finish. Miss Olive Payne gave out the words.
 Cider and ginger snaps were served in the hall during and after the enter tainment.
