the highest kind OF a squeeze to get

II had been proved so conclusively
that the public would have nothing
to do with Beach Park that no one
supposed Humphrey would be SC fool
isla after that experience Of the third
season, as to waste more OF his time
ani hard-earned money on It. But
the popcorn man was obstinate and
he opened up the fourth year as
blitheIy as ever. II was the old story
until about the middle of the season.
Then there was a slight improve
ment. Somebody of consequence and
influence told somebody else that the
place was changed so much he hardly
could recognize it He was so glow
ing in his picturing OF the charm OF
the park that the other man was
tempted TO go there. He was sur
prised and delighted, and fell It was
his duty to tell everybody about It.
Both Decent and Paying.
Before that fourth season closed
Beach Park was paying expenses. II
opened next year with an excellent
business. and in a month or two II
was having q patronage such as II
never had known before. II was ex-
actly the place for a respectable man
and his family. There were no toughs.
There were no bars. Everything was
moderate In price. yet good. There
were no shooting galleries, no fortune
tellers. no freaks or fakes or loop the

was everything that was legitimate
and safe and decent. The dancing

The music was OF the best for dane

the music makes in the enjoyment Of
dancing.
Instead Of the sideshows and fakes,
Humphrey had charming pavIlions,

rays Of the searchlights upon the 81
looms. Nobody could enter without
being truly in the spot light. Decent
men didn't like TO make exhibitions
OF themselves, so they lodged those
saloons. The liquor men threatened
lots OF things TO Humphrey. but went
ton restraining him from using HE
battleship searchlights. That was pie
for the popcorn man. The papers
made big stories out OF the fight
Humphrey got more advertising than
he could have bought for thousands
OF dollars. And the Injunction wai
set aside. Thereupon the search
lights came into play again. The
crowd at Beach Park thought II high

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, Ill, May 29.-Newspapers
discuss the rise of May wheat to 81
and give little attention to black rust
in Oklahoma, which is regarded as
very premature and unlikely. Tribune
runs a story about manipulation OF
May wheat on it's front page. Foreign
wheat news is of the firm kind, but To-
calls believe wheat Is still unsettled
with a good chance of losing its
bulges In "a hours to z p. m. Thurs
day rain appeared at 80 out of As points
in central west and southwest. The
northwest continues to receive rain.
Canada was cool yesterday with small
rains. The recent rains over 40 per
cent of Illinois and Indiana and Ohio
are inadequate. Temperatures we're
go and "a in Ohio and Tennessee on
Thursday. Kansas temperatures were
up to so. Northwestern Miller CORE
spondent says there is rust in Okla
homa, but it is foreign to southwest
wheat Unless reinforced by com
plants the rust report of yesterday
will quickly be forgotten.
Patten coterie appears to have
adopted the idea that western re-
serves of corn are very light. There
is an increased amount of talk con-
corning very small farm reserves
Packers have probably sold provisions
against the June l supply figures.
Should be a temporary break only.
The dry spots in central west and cot
ton states will continue their oats
complaints. Unsettled weather of the
thunder shower kind is generally fore
casted.
We have many poor reports on oats
from Indiana and Ohio this morning.
Kansas is also a complainer on oats.
Hanover, Ohio. says wheat is 80 and
oats so per cent in central Ohio over
two counties. Connorsville, Ind, oats
rs; South Scion, Ohio, seven counties
south central Ohio, wheat 100, oats
rs; Is days without rain. Hope, Ind,

ton from Queene, Nh, and Larned,
