rather disappointing Liverpool cables. and the
active months sold TO 8 points lower dur
ing the early trading with May touching

The market steadied on talk Of improved

BURGLAR GRABBED
S|0O; LEFT A HALF
Discriminating Thief En-
tered Weir Home Near
Fairgrounds.

a discriminating burglar broke into
the home of William Weir, one mile
east of the fairgrounds. some time
early Thursday morning and after en-
tering the bedroom where Weir was
sleeping took his trousers to another
room where he removed a roll of
money amounting TO more than 500.
A 50-cent piece bearing an early
date and of much different size than
similar coins in use now was lying on
the table where the burglar left II. 1t
is believed that Weir s watch was
not quite up to the burglars standard
for this was also found lying near
the coin.
Weir discovered the robbery about
o'clock in the morning ana hastily
summoned Sheriff James Woolley.
when the officer arrived he learned
that an unsuccessful attempt had been
made to rob a home a short distance
from where Weir lives He was
scared off before he could effect an
entrance.
Wooley easily tracked the thief
back into the city where. all trace of
him was lost. Several deputies were
put on the trail yesterday, but with
out result
The home of George Shivel at Daw-
son was entered about l O'Clock In
the morning by a burglar who pro-
cured only SO. The matter was re-
ported to Sheriff Woolley.

NEW YORK. March l7.-Dun's review
tomorrow will say:
Only by the use of superativcs can eX-
isting commercial and industrial conditions
be adequately described. Great as are the
gains shown by bank clearngs, iron output,
untitled steel tonnage and similar indiccs,
mere statistical records no longer fully re-
fleet u situation for which there is no
precedent. In some branches and sections
the volume of business has reached such
vast proportions that further expansion is
dependent upon increased facilities for both
production and distribution. Manufacturers
in steel in textiles and in other lines are
rejecting additional contracts. which they
cannot handle either because capacity is
already booked far ahead, or through in
ability TO obtain necessary raw materials.
The most remarkable feature is the magni'
tude Of the current demand in spite Of prices
that would ordinarily check it. urgeelt re
quests continuing to be made for immediate
deliveries Of leather, foot wear, dry goods,
and escepially of steel products.

her in every town in the state
I'm going to win asserted MISS
Rankin, with Rooseveltian strenuosity,
in a short breathing space between
speeches. "I stand for national equal
suffrage and I'll bring it before con-
gress as soon as l arrive in the capital
I stand for child welfare. The gov

Altho Miss Rankin is running on the
Republican ticket, a great many wom-

her. They hail her as the women's
candidate"
Two years ago Miss Rankin led the
equal suffrage battle in Montana. She
has campaigned all over the east in
interests of Votes for Women Good
government leagues in all Montana
towns have endorsed her. In addition
to this, the women's clubs have thrown
all their power into the fray in her
behalf. Miss Rankin's campaign
managers declared today she had the
support of Henry Cabot Lodge, Elihu
Root, Senator Cummins and of nearly
all the big Republican leaders. Her
opponents claim her political utter

BREAD IN KANSAS
Bakers Raising Prices in All Larger
Cities of State.

Bakers in the larger Kansas cities
practically have decided to discontinue
the baking of five-cent loaves of
bread, according to reports received
here. The increase in the price of
flour is the assigned reason for the
action. In Topeka several of the lead
ing bakeries do not make scent loaveS
any more and a meeting of bakers has
been scheduled to determine whether
the scent loaf would be abolished en-
tirely or the price increased. In WITCH
ita, it was reported that the bakers are
charging cents for the useual scent
loaf, to which three ounces has been
added.
Within the last week the price of
flour has advanced 40 cents a hundred
in the wholesale market. according to
millers here. the top price reaching
$3.60. The retail price has jumped 80
cents this week, making the cost of a
4S-pound sack reach $3.50.
Many of the leading bakers in the
state have inaugurated the 15-cent
loaf of bread, consisting of 33 ounces,
to meet the exigencies of the flour in
crease, reports received here show.

Caelostadt is the name of an in

observations which will principally be
made at Denver, Colo. The caelostadt
is a mirror-lense to throw the image
of the eclipse upon the camera. The
which varies minutely the DETECTION
of the lens to correspond with the al
most imperceptible movement of the
sun during the time that the camera
exposure is made. Thus an absolute
ly accurate image is secured.
The eclipse does not occur until
1918 but a vast amount of preliminary
research work has been done by Prof.
Petit, which has been commended
by astronomers all over the country.
In making the charts of the path of
the eclipse which he has sent different
observatories. Prof. Petit was assist
ed by Prof. Luther c. Tillotson, of the
department of engineering of Wash
burn college.
Previous to the occurrence of the
eclipse Prof Petit will inaugurate a
movement to get all amateur photog-
the eclipse. Often by some chance
of lucky timing or inadvertent cor
rectness of exposure the efforts of
some amateurs turn out better than
the carefully made photographs of the
astronomer
