A sure corn ease at Fulton's
BARN AND AUTO BURN.
Mr.. l.. C. Durham Sustained Loss of
Loo EARLY Sunday Night.

Mr.. IL. 4. Durham sustained Loss OF
$1,4OO Early Sunday Night.
The barn on Mr.. l.. G. Durham's
premises was burned little after 8
O'Clock Sunday night, together with
a new Ford automobile, three bales
of cotton, buggy and harness and
some corn and oats. He estimates
his loss at 81, 400, and the building
was partially insured, but there was
none on any of its contents.
The barn was used as a garage,
and Mr.. Durham thinks the fire was
caused by a spark from the exhaust
of his automobile, which had been
used just a short while before the
fire was discovered. The machine
was a new one, and had been used
only about a week.

The Grain Market.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
CHICAGO, Feb. 1I--Grain weak
ness developed in the wheat trade
during the week and was communi-
Gated to the corn and oats pits. The
bear movement in wheat is attribut-
ed largely to cables from Liverpool,
indicating heavy increases in ship
ments from the Argentine wheat fields
and a consequent lessened demand on
this country from European markets.
A heavy run OF wheat at Minneapolis
and Duluth was also factor in
changing sentiment from the bull
side. The movement reached climax
today when heavy losses In wheat flu
lures were registered. Spo culative
interests all switched to the bear side
when it was seen that outside buying
was at a standstill The weeks net
decline in May wheat was 27sc and
in July wheat 1kc.
An easier tone in corn due to a
heavy movement Of the cereal to ac-
cumulative centers and a lessenins
cash demand from the east caused a
decided weakness when the slump in
wheat prices developed. The bull in
terest generally got out of the market
and lower prices seemed to be expect
ed. The declines in corn for the week
We're May 11sc and July one cent.
Oats held better than the other
grains because of smaller receipts.
There is a heavy demand for oats for
immediate delivery from the east and
the local supplies are being gradually
exhausted Oats decline for the week
were: May 1ac and July &c.
The tone in the provision trade
was very weak on reports that heavy
stocks here and in the west were
ready for the market. Material de
clines in all lines We're registered.

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR
DEAL IN HANCOCK COUNTY

chased the Harper farm near Hamil-
ton, consisting of 2S3 acres. For this
tract of land Mr.. Morris paid $4,000.
He says he bought the land for in
vestment purposes, that it is fine land
and worth the money but Mr.. Morris
admits that the water power develop
ment had an additional attraction.
This purchase shows the drift Of in
vcstment toward the seat Of the big
power plant and. additional deals OF
equal and even larger magnitude are
expected before the summer closes.
Mr.. Morris is one of the supervisors
OF Van Buren, county. He resides
near Bentonsport and is one of the
wealthy and we'll known citizens Of
our sister county.
Real Estate Prospect Bright.
There is an optimism among the
real estate dealers. They believe the
present year will witness great
activity both in city and suburban
property. Inquiries are more numer-
Gus than at any time since the water
power work started. Contractors re-
port requests for estimates frequent
and many contracts for residence
property have been signed. With the
j improvements that the Stone & Web
Ister Co. will carry on during the year
! in rehabilitating the public utilities,
the water power work and the gen.
eral line of building Keokuk will be

From Florists and Friends,

committee appointed for that purpose, l
viii be prepared TO receive subscriptions
10 the fund to be used to erect suitable
memorial to the late William Robertson
Smith, for many years superintendent OF
the National Botanic Garden" was the
statement made this morning by William
r. Guide, chairman OF the committee ap-
pointed at the recent convention in Chi
cago oil the Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Ilorticulturists to raise
funds for a memorial to the noted gar
dener Although the movement has been
started by the florists and horticulturists
subscriptions to the fund will not be con-
fined TO them alone. Friends of Mir. Smith
who wish to contribute will be given an
opportunity to do so.
The form of memorial to be erected has
not yet been considered A number Of
the florists believe 1t should be a statue,
while others think il should be in the
form of a memorial home. OF course, both
the size and style of memorial will de-
pend entirely on the size Of the fund
raised. The florists at the recent conven-
t,on were unanimous in the belief that 1t
should he erected in this city, where Mr..
Smith made his home for more than sixty
years.

taken.
According to a report made by SupeTin-
tendent Of Schools w. L. Hodges at. least
three more teachers VII be needed and

facilities of the Arlington district are not
enough to accommodate the usual num-
ber Of children, it is said, not to take into
consideration the influx that Is expected

appeared in a Richmond paper to the
effect that the schools in the Arlington
district were In 'frightful condition and
that the funds were not accounted for
Mr.. Hodges submitted an .temized ac-
count of the receipts and expenditures
for the last year and invited all members
Of the association to examine them. He
gave q detailed account of the school sys-
tenn and declared that the teachers were
just as efficient as those employed in the
