Omaha Futures Market.
The trade In the futures market was
rather quiet again today and opening prices
on May and December wheat were some
what lower. The usual foreign demand was
not In evidence today and as a result the
wheat market had bearish tendency.
Foreign cables on corn were higher and
the news from Argentina was very bullish,
but in spite OF this the corn market fol-
lowed wheat rather closely on the decline.
There was not much local interest In oats
and this market held within a narrow range.
Wheat closed around the low point Of the
day, corn closed about lc lower on Decem-
Der and INC on on May. while December
oats ruled NC lower ana tho May unchanged

Night Waterman Bert Williams is
this week enjoying the first days of
vacation he has taken since he ac-
cepted this position four years ago.
In all that time he has not missed
a night, week day or Sunday and
the word vacation" was unknown

the state fair and his place is be-
ing taken by August Schultz, whose
strong right arm is an excellent
substitute for that of Night Watch
man Williams. Chief Nickerson

has been on duty, but he, too, will
take short rest some time this fall.

PLAN TO K|DNAP
YOUNG Hartman
Plot of Three Men to Steal Rich Lad
Proves Unsuccessful-To be
Held for Ransom.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. %
Ransom of 100000 was to be de-
manded for Roland Hartman, son of
Mrs. E. H. Hartman, by three men
under arrest in ST. Anthony, Ida,
in connection with the alleged con-
spiracy to kidnap the 16-year-old son
of the late railroad magnate, accord
ing to word received here today. Au-
thorities say that two of the men
have confessed that the plan was to
blind or otherwise disfigure young
Hartman if the ransom was not paid
promptly.
Mrs. Hartman and her son hac
planned to spend several weeks on a
Hartman ranch near St. Anthony
but were delayed because Of the
threatened railroad strike. When
arrested Mark A. Lufkin, who, the
authorities say, confessed, was work
ing on a ranch near the Hartman
property. David McLoy and Ralph
Zufelt were also arrested on informa-
ton furnished by Lufkin. The po-
lice say they found a letter demand
ing 100000 ransom among the mems
effects.
The men were armed with pistols
and knives. According to Lufkin's
confession he was to notify the 9TH
ers when to come to Island Park to
carry out the plan.

OLD HOUSE MAKES
WAY FOR new ONE
Home on Entriken Farm Built Fifty.
Six Years Ago by Jacob M.
Funk Torn Down.

One of the oldest landmarks in or
near Webster City, is this week be-
ing torn down to make way for a
handsome modern residence. This
is the house on the F. w. Entrik-
en- farm on the southern outskirts
of the city, just across Brewers
creek from Mercy hospital
The frame structure was built
fifty-six years ago by Jacob M.
Funk, who came to New Castle
(Webster City, shortly after the
Wilson Brewer family. The doors
and siding were of black walnut
lumber, while the entire structure
was fashioned, as were all of the old
er houses, Of native timber. On the
inside of the siding the walls were
bricked up. Tar paper was then I'M
known as medium of warmth. The
window stills were cut out Of rough
logs and the house has stood the
wear and tear of the seasons as
would house OF stone.
Unfortunately, the black walnut
lumber is too full of nailholes to
be used about the construction of
the new home and will humbly
help to fashion a hog house in the
barnyard.
Upon the site of the old landmark
will arise fine new home built by
IF. w. Entriken, the present owner
of the farm. This land has been in
the same family since it was bought
from the government for around 81
an acre. Mercy hospital, which
was the gift Of Jacob Funk to this
city, stands upon ground which was
once a portion of this same farm
and the farm is now worth about
5000 per acre. The new Entriken
home will be two story structure,
about 2Sx32 feet in dimensions, and
lit is hoped to have the building en-
closed by cold weather.
Upon the completion of the new
residence the Entriken family will
remove from their present house on
Cedar street to the suburban home
to make their permanent abode.
