VIII Immediately Begin to Arrange
the House and Put on a Nov
Ing Picture Performance
for the Summer.
KNOWS TILE BUSINESS
Manager Morley to Return Next Sep.
tember to Again Give keokuk The
ater Goers Some Very Fine
Attractions.

c. H. Dodge today completed bust
ness arrangement with the owners OF
the Grand opera house whereby he
leased the property for the summer
and will conduct a moving picture
show. This is along the line Of
amusement in which Mr.. Dodge has
been previously engaged, having been
forced out of location by the Ma
sonic Temple fire. He will begin i'm
mediately the work of remodeling and
equipping the house for moving pic
ture show and hopes that this work
will require but short time In fact
he expects to be able to have the lat
est moving picture machinery in place
81. that the opening performance can
be put on some time next week. Mr.
Dodge will take possession of the
house next Monday but the assem-
blage of equipment will begin before
that time. His lease extends during
the summer. In getting possession
OF the Grand for moving picture
house during the summer months Mr..
Dodge has been quite fortunate as
the owners have heretofore refused to
rent the property for that purpose. 1t
will be a cool and safe and conven-
lent place to witness a moving picture
show and will in all probability be.
come very popular from the start.
Mr.. Dodge is well qualified to conduct
such an amusement place as he has
had years of experience, knows the
public taste and the public will no
doubt be glad to welcome him again
to a line of Amusement in which for
years he always gave such splendid
satisfaction.
Mr.. Bert Waggoner, Of Lomax, ILL.,.
is associated with Mr.. Dodge in this
venture and they intend to remain
permanently in the business in Keo-
kuk.

The Grain Market.

CHICAGO, April 24.--Good support
in the wheat pit was in evidence to-
day and this finally developed into
aggressive buying, which was center
ed in July futures, sending that month
UP nearly one cent from the opening.
Bears were unable to make any prog
ress in their attack on May wheat in
the early market, but after a heavy
selling pressure prices declined some
what only to jump back under increas-
ed buying demand. Buyers were back
ed by strong cables from Liverpool,
reporting heavier demand by oontin-
entail mills and bad crop weather in
the Russian fields.
Corn futures were strong and prices
for May went to near the highest of
the season. Receipts were light and
there was a heavy cash demand.
Gables in this cereal were also bullish.
The oats trade was firm with good
buying, inspired oy higher prices in
wheat and corn. Profit-taking devel-
oped at the high points.

standstill.
