mander of Kansas, that a crowd of be-
| tween 5000 and 1900 old soldiers viii

eral gathering of the old soldiers IN

to their memory in the spring of 1914
The building was erected by the state

ute to the memory of the boys of 81.

words of praise for the veterans who
are attending the annual encamp-
mcnt in Topeka. Various auxiliaries
of the G. A r.. held meetings in the
building during the day and will con-
tinue their meetings this evening,
concluding the days gathering with a

HARMONY In SIGHT
The Capper-BristOw Crowd Is
Willing to Compromise.
Offering to Divide Delegations
to National Convention.
READY TO SPLIT FIFTY-FIFTY
Republican League Ghost Dance
Brings About a Change.
Big Four May Be: Capper,
Bristow, Curtis, Scott.

Capper-Bristow followers, who a
few weeks ago refused to accept any
thing but a delegation instructed for
an ultra progressive Republican
candidate, are now willing to COM
promise. They are now willing to
play if the conservatives will give
them half of the delegates
When the first discussion of presi-
Dental candidates was aired in Kan
sas, the Progressive leaders in the
Republican party wanted to make
certain their control of the delega-
ton. 1t was when Senator Charles
Curtis mentioned the ACCESSIBILITY of
an unrestricted delegation that Jo-
seph L. Bristow, former senator, saw
the evil ways of the world revealed
in the Curtis plan. Bristow declared
that nothing but an instructed dele
cation would suit the kansas voters
and that snap judgment could not be
taken in the next convention
That was some weeks ago. In the
meantime there has been but little
agitation of national issues Things
have concerned themselves chiefly
with the issues that more directly af-
feet Kansas The skeleton of the Re-
the. closet and exhibited for the per-
sonaI inspection and benefit of Gov
ernor Capper. Then the matter was
dropped as quietly and quickly as the
there was a decided change in the
tone of the Capper publication editor
ialS a.d the conservatives merely
smiled a big broad smile and predict
ed a real Republican victory in
1916"
Willing to Divide.
Now the effect of the Republican
league ghost dance is being observed
in the attitude of state leaders con-
corning national issues. Only the 9TH
er day a progressive Republican men
toned that the progressives and con-
servatives should divide the delegation
ffty-fifty. 1t was pointed out that
Hughes will not be a candidate and
that no sentiment has crystalliZed for
any particular candidate. But Hughes
was never a candidate and sent let
ter to Kansas to that effect five
months ago The letter didn't stop
the demand for an instructed delega-
ton for a presidential candidate Now
things are different
1t is even probable that such radical
and extreme conservative Republicans
as Curtis and Scott might be given
places on the elegatiOn-part of the
Big Four among the delegates at
large. In exchange for Curtis and
Scott, however, the progressives would
ask that Capper and Bristow be placed
on the list of delegates at large. Both
Capper and Bristow are willing to go
to a convention as uninstructed dele
gates, it is stated, and can now sit with
Curtis and Scott in the selection of a
national leader who can control the
loyal, patriotic support of all men and
women of the party.
Thus the foundation for true har-
mony is being laid in Kansas.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-wHEAT-wheat
bulged sharply today account of the
wet weather in the northwest Delays to
the movement of spring crops after the all
season rain Interference with the winter
yield caused much more uneasiness in re-
gard to filling contracts than would ordl-
narily be the case. Besides cable quota
tons were higher and there were fresh
adv1ces of decreasing stocks at Liverpool.
Opening prices. which ranged from a shade
to Sac higher with September at $1.O1 to
81 .03 and December at 96c to 9IAc, were
followed by continued strength at a mod
crate reaction from the top figures reached
at the start
Free profit-taking sales led afterward to
a setback in which the price gains lagely
disappeared. The close was unsettled at
the same last night to 11ac higher with
September at $1.01A and December at
$3.50.
CORN-Prospects of cooler weather
hardened corn. Selling orders were com
paratively scarce. After opening Ac to 9s
MAc higher, the market held firm except
for something of a sag in the September
option.
Subsequently when wheat underwent
reaction, the greater part of the advance
in corn was lost. The market closed steady,
Ac off to %Q1ac up compared with last
night.
OATS-Oats trading was very small
Prices were bullishly affected by the less
favorable weather

Price readjustment continues in the cattle
trade. The best cattle, both fed and grass,
advanced to 20 cents last week, but med
lower in some cases. The supply today is
$4,000 head, and the market is slow, prices
weak to 10 cents lower on the bulk. Mum
erous lots of good fed steers sold at $9.45
to S9.65. Bulk of the cattle came from
Kansas, of course, shippers in the pasture
country giving the market trial, and the
impression is out that if prices this week
make a profit, arrangements will be
made to go into winter quarters. The

numerous sales had been made at 500 to

number of stockers and feeder buyers here,

cattle up to $S.25. and common grades at

to move. 1t is a good time to buy for if the
threat to put cattle on feed holds good,
which has been made in both Kansas and
the Panhandle, receipts will not be extra
heavy, while there is great section of
country depending on this market for
stockers and feeders this fall, and in the

Hogs were in light supply, 5000 head,
market steady on light hogs, lower on
heavy weights. The market is a two sided
affair, demand for fresh pork and smoked
meats sustaining prices on hogs suitable
for manufacturing that class of product.
while the big weight stuff, and mixed
packing, are not needed to fill any crying
necessity, hence prices on that kind lag.
The range of bulk of sales today is $3.50
to $500, all the desirable light weight hogs
selling at $7.S5 to $500, while rough heav-
les sold down to 1928. Highly mixed hogs
