TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. Sept. 3o-wHEAT-Worse crop
prospects reported today from Argentina
resulted in a new upward swing of wheat
prices here. No rain had fallen in the
drought district and it was said the con-
sequence In the fields implied a rapid re-
duetion of the yield. The fact that the
Liverpool market failed to follow yester-
days late decline here tended further to
handicap the bears and so, too, did word
that European stocks were light for this
time of the year. Opening prices which
ranged from Ac to 1ikc higher. with De-
cember at $1-54as to S1.55 and May at
S154ss to S1-54s4, were followed by addi-
tional gains and then something of a re-
action.
Realizing sales by belated longs in Sep
tember led afterward to decided setbacks
in prices. The close was weak at S1.54 for
December and S153ss for May with the
market whole 21sc off to fsc up COM
pared with yesterdays finish.
CORN-Corn hardened slightly with
wheat There was no urgent buying At
ter opening 1s@Kc off to &c up. the mar
days finish.
Later the market ca sed off when wheat
turned weak The close was steady at the
same as yesterdays finish to Il 0l3sc lower

The gentlemen of the 3. !. LIS en-
tertained the ladies Of Chapter w. of

room Of the library last Wednesday
evening. The gentlemen had kept
their entertainment a, secret, al
though they had allowed it to leak
out that it would be barbecue sup
per, and the ladies were somewhat
surprised when they were marched
downstairs and allowed to enter a
regular city cafeteria, the assembly
room having been converted into a
ffrst-class cafeteria, with railings and
tables, and gentlemanly walters.
Along the long serving counter were
placed the various dishes, all labeled
in French, with French chefs in white
caps and aprons ready to serve each
tray. And say, the men had prepar-
ed about everything in the way OF
good eats it was possible to conjure
up, starting with bouillOn and ending
with ice cream and mints, and the
ladies were vociferous in their praise
of the good cooking and service. AT
ter the dinner was served a special
program was shown at the Idle Hour
theatre for the ladies and the B. l..

showing the emblem Of the order was
flashed on the screen. 1t was a pleas

big choir of one hundred and fifty
voices, under the direction of the
Gospel Teams commanding choiris-

as he is universally described. The
"Big Swede' had his choir we'll in

sic; he4haying drilled them liz their
first rehearsal Saturday evening at

men from the three wards were held
last Thursday evening. In the first
ward Frank A. Gardner was renOmi-
mated, in the second Orville Stout and

There will be two tickets in the
field, the regular nominees nominal
ed at the caucus, and in addition
Morris Gardner has been nominated
as an Independent candidate for
mayor and DR.. j. O. Woodmansee has
been nominated for councilman from
the third ward on the Independent

Facts Concerning Cemetery Exten.
sion. f.

The question of procuring addition
al cemetery grounds has been before
the city councils for number Oi
years and in consequence of a division
|of opinion as to which direction
would be best to make the extension
final action had been delayed until
about a month ago, when it became
imperative that more land should be
acquired Immediately for burial pur-
poses. The opposition having 'dimin-
ished to one member, councilman j.
M. Gardner, and he finally gave in,
the city council unanimously voted to
extend it westward, and the mayor
was instructed to appoint commit
tee of two to wait upon Mr.. Cummins,
the owner of the west land and get
his price for 10 acres adjoining the
present cemetery He refused to con-
slider any amount less than $3.50 an
acre, or $500 for the 10 acres.
The committee made their report
to the city council to this effect,
whereon the council believing this to
be an unreasonable price, instituted
condemnation proceeding according to
law and sheriff's jury composed of
six representative citizens versed in
land prices, fixed the price at 500
per acre or $2100 for the above stat
ed 10 acres.
No member Of the city council has
had anything to do in fixing this
price and any statement to the con-
trary is wrong and misleading.

AT the Big TABERNACLE
The fairfield Businessmen's Gospel
Team is Attracting BIG Crowds.
Great Interest is Aroused.

Icons first tabernacle meeting,
which for the past week has been
the talk of the town, opened in full
blast Sunday morning at the big tab
ernacle on Church street, under the
leadership of the Business Mems
Gospel Team of Fairfield, Iowa. The
popular Leon band was used to as
semeoe the downtown people and to
annodnce the meetings. After the
band had played several special
numbers, the leader of the Fairfield
team, Mr.. A. X. Harper, in a few
choice words, announced the taber-
nGcle meetings and invited the peo-
pie to the services. The crowd then
marched with the band to the taber-
nacle. The churches suspended their
regular services and at the close of
the Sunday school hour, the differ
ent schools proceeded to the taber-
nacle.
The big tabernacle which seats
1000 people was more than two
thirds filled by II o'clock when the
services began with the X of P. band
playing a special selection. This
