AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Americas Great Success, "The Old Home
stead" Next Tuesday.

Americas great success, dear to mil
lions the country over, comes to the
opera house Tuesday, April 81. We re-
fer, of course, to Denman Thompson's
famous idyl of New England, "The Old
Homestead" This celebrated drama OF
New England rural life is now in its
2Sth year of uninterrupted success
When we look back upon the years that
have interviewed since "The Old Home
stead" was first produced at the Boston
theatre in April, 1856, it seems inered-
ible that this same, simple, domestic
drama, dealing as it does with scenes
and incidents which are in no way re-
iharkable in themselves. should in this
theatrical season of 1914 be still one
of the best drawing cards in the theatri-
cal world. Millions of people hsve wit
messed it during the past p years and
still the theater-going public has not yet
tired of dear Uncle Josh, of Cy Prime
and Seth Perkins. Aunt Matilda, Eb
Ganzey,. Happy Jack, Rickety Ann, and
the others. The singing of the double
quartet of farm hands and grand chorus
of 20 voices in the Grace church scene is
looked forward to with as much inter
est as of yore and the scenic equipment
this season is as beautiful and effective
as ever. The original company under
the personal direction of Frank Thomp-
son will be seen here. Capacity houses
win undoubtedly welcome the grand old
play.--Adv.

CHICAGO. April 17.-Wheat developed
tirmness today after some weakness at
the start Cables were steady and pre-
diction of rain had not been fulfilled in
the domestic winter crop belt Kansas
reports seemed less reassuring, the
weather being windy and hot, with
several counties reporting loss of
acreage Opening prices. which varied
from 4 off to Is up, were followed by
some advance all around.
Although corn gave way for while
under a rush of selling the market be-
came steady as a result of buying on the
part of leading spectators. The east
was said to be canceing American pur-
chases and substituting Argentine. On
the other hand. it was pointed out that
domestic primary shipments We're con-
siderably in excess of receipts. Prices
opened 1s to 7s lower. but soon recovered
nearly all of the decline.
Oats held steady. Leading houses were
good buyers.
The smaller packers gave support to
provisions First transactions ranged
from &c off to like amount up. and the
market seemed disposed to keep within
about such limits.
Butter-Lower: creameries, lSaZ4.
Eggs-Higher: receipts, 2S143 cases; at
mark. cases included, 16s4a1Is4: ordinary
frsts. 1Ga4a17I4a1Ia.

Dry weather talk from Nebraska and

close was steady at Is to 4 net advance.
