A very slight alteration in the mag

With the. large number of electric
alarm signals now fitted to cars it is
not surprising that boys find great de-
light in locating the button which OPP
crates such signals and creating a
racket in the owners absence. If they
were satisfied with a short signal by
way of a little fun things would not
be SO bad. but when band of half
a, dozen holds a meeting and completes
as to who Gan make the signal op-
crate the longest, the racket becomes
unbeara BILE. These signals are usual

if owners were to remove one of the
wires and thus render the button

sound would be stopped. 1t is dan
gerous practice, too to chastise other

Chicago, Oct. 31.--Wheat bulged to-
day owing to predictions that world
shipments would be light There also
We're unfavorable reports from British
sources in regard to the Argentina
crop outlook, although cable dis
patches from Buenos Aires firms said
the only fear was concerning frost In
the near future. Advices from India
gave no hope of supplies for export
Opening prices here We're A@$ to 70
higher with subsequent additional
hardening of values.
= A decided reaction ensued, the result
of free selling because of increasing
belief that the Argentine yield would
be up to the average. The close never
theless was steady, at shade to &c
net advance
Better weather and easier foreign
quotations eased corn, but the market
later rallied with wheat. First sales,
which ranged from " to u decline to
shade advance were followed by q
rise all around to last nights level or
well above.
There was a sharp descent later
when wheat took the down grade. The
close was steady rs @A to "a q &c un-
der last night.
Despite & vigorous attack by bears,
the oats market rose from the outset
and offerings were promptly taken.
The provision market was weak on
account Of setback in the hog mar
ket. Earliest transactions varied from
unchanged fgui es to IN off but later
showed a recovery.

MEET AT MUSCATINE

Muscatine, Oct. 31.-Eleven men,
bers Of school class Of 1863 enjoyed q
reunion at the home of Mrs. Fred
Bridgman, 1869 Washington street.
Fifty years ago they were schoolmates
at No. 2 school here, and many Of
