BREAK IN PRICE Of WHEAT
Favorable Reports of Growing
Crops Aids in Smashing
the Quotations.

CHICAGO. July 15.-Wheat prices to-
day suffered break Of more than cents
a bushel.
Dispatches from the northwest assert
ing that the outlook was for the greatest
crop year in history had much to do with
pulling the bottom out from under the
market. Weather in the Dakotas and
Minnesota was said to be ideal for filling
the kernels of the wheat plant and for
banishing danger Of the dreaded black
rust.
Returns From Kansas.
Threshing returns in Kansas were also
reported as showing a yield of % to
SO per cent more than expected and
indicating that the state would produce
100, ,OOO. 900 bushels.
Prices here sagged more from a de-
cided falling OFF In demand, rather than
because Of heavy selling. The September
option. which opened \ to 1c lower to-
day, at 997s to 1.OO4s. was selling this
afternoon as low as 07tsag7%. showing a
loss of 3ba3A compared with Saturday
nights close.

the Senate.

The Panama canal bill. against which
Great Britain has filed protest, was taken
up by the Senate at o'clock. A request
to lay it aside temporarily in favor OF
the fur seal bill, reported by Senator
Lodge, met objection from Senator Stone
of Missouri
Senator Brandegee announced his in
tention to push consideration of the canal
bill. Several attempts were made by
senators to inject other business into the
nroceedings. but consideration of the
Panama bill was insisted upon.

Mr.. Underwood's Opinion.

Representative Underwood. the demo-
cratic leader. expressed doubt today
Of an adjournment of Congress before
August 10. He is still firm in his de-
termination to do nothing to pass the
revision of the cotton schedule OF the
Payne tariff law until the Senate shall
have acted on the pending tariff meas
ures. This determination practically
eliminates the tariff from further dis
cussion in the House. as the Senate is
indisposed to take up any tariff legis.
lation at this time.

The detectives house at 945 r street
northwest was one of a numer of dwell

water backing up in the sewer. and wnen
he realized the danger he recalled that
two pet chickens were in the cellar.
Rushing to the cellar the detective waded
through several feet of water and the
pet chickens were put on roost that was
high and dry. The water-soaked rescuer
returned to the upper portion or the
house and changed his clothing.
Families living in many parts of the
northwest and northeast sections of the
city reported last night TO the police that
their houses were flooded. Such reports
came from the 600 block in II street

Lightning struck the roof of the resi-
dence of Rev. Robert Talbot, $50 23d

eight feet Of slate. Damage, however,
was done by water, which streamed
through the opening. and only the quick
work of Mr.. Talbot prevented his hand

during the storm, this being the Sec

less than twenty-four hours. Late
Saturday night Mr.. Hodges house was
badly damaged by fire, which burnt off
the greater part of the roof. The house
was deluged with water by the firemen
who worked on the blaze. and the lower
part Of the building was badly damaged
by the water.

Contemplated Merger.

One reason for the delay in making this
important military appointment lies in
the fact that the proposed reorganization
Of the army contemplates the merging OF
the adjutant generals department into
the general staff corps and the abolition
Of the grade Of brigadier general In that
department. 1t ia generally admitted,
however, that the prospects for favorable
legislation on the reorganization scheme
in the near future are far from bright.

Strobina in Good Shape.

Strobino was fifteenth at the turning
around the quaint Sollentuna Church,
which the runners rounded to retrace
their tracks. Two Americans were ahead
Of him at that time, and he ran seven
miles with Tewanima, then joined Keleh-
mainen until the Finn dropped far back
in the rear. He finished well up with the
two leaders and seemed to be in much
better shape than either Of them, for he
stopped to shake hands with few
friends and then walked briskly from the
track.
It seemed long wait after Strobino be-
fore another runner appeared at the en-
trance. Then a second shield appeared
with the American device. It was the
Indian, Sockalexis. Fifty yards behind
him came the Canadian, Duffy. who
strove hard to overtake the American
He succeeded in some degree, but the
Indian crossed the line twenty yards In
front. Both were in fine condition.
While Gitshaw arrived q little less than
two minutes behind Macarthur, and Stro-
bino fifty seconds later, a period of more
than three minutes elapsed before
Sockalexis and Duffy came through
succession. Each runner displaying the
American shield got a rousfng cheer when

THE HOME TOWN

People seldom stop to consider
how much their town means to
them. They take it too much for
granted, and in counting mp their
blessings make superficial inven-
tory that fails to credit the source
from which many of their dearest
blessings flow. 1t is easy to over
look the home town i'm summing
up the sources of ones happiness,
because the town is such large.
all-enveIoping thing-so large, in
fact, that It's hard to see-and the
citizen blindly draws sustenance
from it like an infant from its
mother. Traced to their source,
most of llfe's blessings will be
found to have their root in that
aggregation of human beings and
human interests known as a town.
The town is the unit of modern
civilization and is the channel thru
which modern civilization confers
its benefits. There is scarcely a
phase of civilization that does not
find direct and specific expression
in the life and organization of a
town that is large enough to have
a school, court house, a library.
a bank, mill, or factory, church,
water works, brass band, newspa-
per. or railroad station. Repre-
senting education, jurisprudence,
literature, finance, industry, relig
ion, hygiene, art, and the speedy
distribution of intelligence and
commodities, these institutions ey-
press all that is highest and best in
human achievement. Ii civiliza-
tion is good. then the home town
is good, and the citizens should be
proud and thankful of it. Instead
of casting wandering and envious
glances at distant New York or
Chicago, let us glow with pride for
our own little embryo town, real
izing that the difference is only
one of degree and not Of kind.
