An inquiry instituted by the elders
of two country churches near Jaspar,
when they noticed that many male
members of the congregation evident
ly were suffering from overindulgence
in liquor, resulted in the arrest Of
Myron Miller on the charge Of violat-
ing the local option prohibitory law.
For several weeks church services
at ,Jaspar have been disturbed by the
highly emotional penitence of several
members, who pleaded forgiveness for
some infraction of the law which they
did not mention specifically. Others
slept soundly throughout the services.
The investigation revealed a KEEP of
beer and a bundle of tin cups in tho
woods near the church. Miller is
charged with giving the beer away,
but charging 80 cents each for tin
cups.

LEWIS "SlNGLE BINDER"

A handmade cigar fresh from the
table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping
fresh until smoked. a fresh cigar
made of good tobacco Is tho ideal
smoke. The old, well cured tobaccos
used are SO rich in quality that many
who formerly smoked 10c cigars now
smoke Lewis Single Binder Straight
&c. Lewis Single Binder costs the
dealer some more than other &c cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac
tory to use extra quality tobacco.

COTTON IRREGULAR
BUT CLOSE is FIRM
Prices Show An Advance of
to IA Points
SOME RAINS REPORTED
vance the Market Eases Off
But Receivers On Bull
support

New York, May 1.-THE cotton market
wes rather irregular today, but after the
opening showed a generally firm tone and
closed steady at net advance of l to
Il points
The market opened steady at decline
oe to IA points under renewal of local
bear pressure and scattering liquidation
such as was noted on Friday and Satur-
day, and which had the announcement
of rains in sections of the belt previous
ly complaining of insufficient moisture. 1t
was, however, the near positions which
showed the greatest loss, probably owing
May and June off to avoid further ship
ments from the south, and with the
weather map showing no rains of any
consequence In Texas, the whole list soon
firmed up on renewal of bull support
and covering.
After selling at net advance of about
to points on active old crop positions
and of points on the new, the market
eased off to within a point or two of last
nights finals, owing to the forecast call
ing for showers and warmer weather in
tile eastern Delt, ana IOT showers In
Texas, but this decline was soon checked
by renewal of bull support, and later
in the day the market ruled generally
steady to firm, with August and Septem-
Der leading the advance.
Readers of the weather map predicted
much lower temperature in the west part
of the belt tomorrow, and in the last few
minutes spot houses were good buyers of
October. Southern spot markets reported
early were unchanged to Bc lower.
The Liverpool exchange will only be
open Wednesday and Thursday of this
week.
Generally speaking, this mornings
weather reports were considered more
favorable, but private crop accounts
showed no Improvement and there are
continued predictions of bullish govern
ment report early in June.

DECLINE IS NOTED
IN WHEAT MARKET
Crop Outlook IS Improved
Over the Entire Region
RECEIPTS ARE HEAVY
offerings In the Corn Pit Are scant
and Prices At the Close Are IT.
regular-Oats Are Irregular
and Provisions Lower

Chicago. May 16.--Indications were pen-
were selling out wheat today. The north
west, too, sold considerable here. Fine
rains over the entire winter and spring
wheat country materially improved the
crop outlook and led to some decided
change in the sentiment. The close was
steady but at decline of &c to A6D7sc.
Corn and oats finished &c lower to so
higher Provisions lost 211c to INC.
Notwithstanding that the bears seemed
afraid to sell after having been so badly
beaten last week, the wheat market took
on a heavy tone from the start. The
close was at almost the lowest prices
of the day. Evident weakness of north
western and southwestern markets had
considerable influence here. 1t was as
serted the rains had come at partcu-
larly opportune time to fill the maturing
winter wheat in southern areas A sub
1ect of comment was that southeastern
receipts today were more than three
times as large as year ago and that
ST. Louis prices for cars of No. red
more northwestern receipts were increas-
ing and worlds shipment was large,
Near the end of the session Pacific coast
reports were received that the carry-over
there to the next crop would be the
largest ever known. Talk was current
of additional possible purchases of wheat
at Duluth to come to Chicago. Accofd-
ing to one authority. the rainfall in Kan
sas improved the prospect in that state
by 100000 bushels. More rain was pre-
dicted for tonight. September wheat here
sold between 81 .o1M@1 Ok, closing &c
down at s1.olA.
Offerings were scant in the corn pit
In consequence prices maintained better
level relatively than wheat. Wet weather
prevailing was said to be favorable. rs
most of the crop area has now been seed
ed. September sold from 63hc to- 6S1sc and

Oats were bought by the leading wheat
but eased back. Trade was small. Sep

up at the finish.

weather market for hogs and as a re-
suit Of the lower quotations for grain

INAUGURATION DAY
WILL NOT BE CHANGED

| Washington. May 16.-By the lack of
| one vote the House declined today to
accord the necessary two thirds vote to
submit to the several states of the
union the question of putting seven
weeks further forward into the year
the date of the Inauguration of Presi-
dent and vice president from March 4
to the last Thursday in April
In the voting upon the resolution, of
which Mr.. Henry of Texas was the au-
thor, there was no indication of party
lines for or against it. Representative
Harrison of New York headed the op-
position to the measure.
When the call of the roll was COM
pleted word was passed around the
chamber that the resolution had been
carried. Then came to the desk of the
speaker, Mr. Loudenslager. of New Jer-
sey, republican. and Mr.. Kinkead, dem
ocrat, of New Jersey, they having been
paired on the pending question. Agree
ing to set aside their pair they both
voted against the resolution and in so
doing carried the day for the opponents
to the measure. The vote then stood
1879 to 10, one less than the necessary
two-thirds.
