 NEW YORK, May 26.-(Wall Street. )-The only unusual feature of today's market, aside from it's unin- terrupted irregularity, was the pro- nounced dullness, dealings diminish ing by over 50 per cent from the active sessions of the early week. Sentiment still favored the short ac- count, the professional element in clining more strongly to that side be- cause of the additional tax which the British government intends to levy on incomes derived from American war securities.
 There is divergence of opinion in local banking circles as to the ef- feet of this measure, some firms be- lieving that it will precipitate fresh foreign liquidation while others re- gard it as the only way by which the British treasury can accomplish it's mobilization plans.
 Domestic news of the day had little bearing upon the market.
 The possibility of some unlocked for complication at the coming con- ventions excited some discussion.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. May 26-Spreading of damage in the west field of Kansas, where heretofore prospects have been generally regarded as excellent. was the chief basis of an advance which took place today in the price of wheat. The market closed steady, 1bGh to IS net higher, with July at s1,11%@7s, and September at SLIPS. Corn finished $ off to A lip. oats at gains of A to F cent and provisions 1212 cents up to 24 down. According to trade reports here wheat crop conditions in six west ern counties Of Kansas had fallen today to an average of 66 per cent as against S6 per cent on May 1.
 Bullish crop advices came also from southern Kansas and from Oklahoma. Nebraska crop prospects remained good.
 There were favorable reports. too. from the Dakotas and Minnesota, but those reports were qualified by as- sertion of diminished acreage
 In the corn pit, predictions that re- ceipts would materially increase next week tended to wipe out an advance which had been scored in the first half Of the session.
 Oats were higher in price mainly because of damage reports from Ok lahoma and Kansas.
 Provisions declined with hogs. II was said that numerous hedging sales of lard were made here against hold ings in Liverpool, as British prices were relatively at a premium. Close:

CYCLONE DAMAGED
 ROCKY PROPERTY
Several Persons Severely Whipped about by the storm but None Iniured-Turner X Pigg Store
 suffered Most Damage.

The Rocky community was struck Thursday evening about 5 o'clock hy cyclone which wrecked the Turner & pigg store building, frame structure 22 by 80 feet in di- mensions, moved the Wallace Ham hv house from the foundation and biew down the Hamby barn and outbuildings, also the engine house at the Turner gin, and the s. P. Pigg harm. The greatest damage is to the Turner & Pigg store building, which while not completely blown down, was so badly wrecked that it will have to be torn down and rebuilt. Fortunately, the storm did not tear down the building, but left the walls standing at an angle of about 45 degrees with the roof intact, so that the goods will be protected un- til provision is made to care for them.
 The people resident in Rocky and those who happened to be in the village at the time, saw the ap- proach of the storm in time to seek shelter and protection, tho there were said to have been some nar- row escapes. Ode Turner with one of his children in his arms, was lifted from the ground several times and succeeded in saving himself and the baby by clinging to a sapling. One of the Ogden boys who had been in the Turner & Pigg store sought protection also by clinging to a sapling, hanging so firmly that he was whipped about lively, but did not loosen his grip until the storm had spent it's fury, and then it was found that the tree had been broken off about four feet above the ground.
 s. p. Pigg and Ode Turner were in Mena Friday to report the loss and to arrange for the adjustment of the damage. They state that the cyclone cloud seemed to have formed directly west of Rocky, in the mountains on the west side of Mountain Fork river, and travelled directly east until it reached Rocky, when the path turned to the north east. The phone lines leading into Rockey were put out of commis- sion, so they have been unable to ascertain if any damage was done except in the immediate vicinity Of Rocky.

W. H. RONEMUS LAID TO REST.
Founded Brotherhood of Railway
 Carmen and Served It Long.

The funeral services for W. II. Ronemus, who died Thursday night, were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence, il29 Mag nolia avenue, being conducted by the Rev T. A. Park of the presby- terian church. lnterment was in the l. 0. O. F. cemetery.
 The later years of MT. Ronemus' life had been devoted to the inter- ests of the Brotherhood of American Railway Carmen, which order he founded in Cedar Rapids, Ia., in 1888 He served the order as general president, but for the past sixteen years he had been the organizer and general grievance man. It was expected that the general president, MT. Ryan, would be in Mena to at tend the funeral and represent the order at the services, but being un- able to come he delegated Frank L. Ronemus, a former general presi- dent and brother of the deceased, to represent him and the order. It was with remarkable fortitude that MT. Ronemus stood at the bier of his departed brother and told of the great work that had been accom- plished in the organization of the Railway Carmen, and how un- selfishly the departed brother had worked in the interest of his fel- low laborers and in the interests of his wife and children. He told how they came thru diversity and hardships. and how they had worked along the same lines, though in re- cent years they had been widely separated. The touching tribute of love and affection paid by the living brother to the one who had passed beyond was heart searching to all who came within sound of his voice
 The relatives in attendance were the bereft wife, Mir. and Mrs. Thos H. Clark of Marshalltown, la, Frank L. Ronemus of Kansas City, and AL fred Ronemus of tris city. These were joined by neighbors and friends in paying the last respects to the departed

ILLICIT STILL RAIDED BY
 POLK COUNTY OFFICERS
John Rogers of Mountain Fork Was Bound Over to Grand Jury on Two
 Counts and Is Under S700 Bond.

John Rogers, living two miles northeast of Mountain Fork post office, was arrested Saturday after noon by Deputy U s. Marshal J. A Thornton and Sheriff H. w Finger on the charge of running an illicit still, the warrant for his arrest hav- ing been issued out of the court of $. II. Smith, on the complaint of J. A. Thornton.
 The Mena officers were joined at Mountain Fork by Tom Rogers and Deputy sheriff A. P. Epperson, and when the four officials reached the home of Rogers, they found that he was away, but from information gathered, they succeeded in locating the still about 200 yards north of the Rogers home. Marshal Thornton and Tom Rogers remained at the still, while the other two returned to the house, and were soon reward ed by the appearance of Rogers, who literally walked into their arms.
 In the meantime, Mr. Thornton destroyed the still and the other equipment, and upon returning to the house he located a part of a jug of moonshine whiskey and a batch of material for making more.
 Rogers was brought to Mena and lodged in the county jail, and this morning he was taken before Jus tice of the Peace s. H. Smith for an examination, which he, however, waived. He was bound over to the April term of court and his bond placed at S700. The information for the examining trial was prepared by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney w. Prickett, and contained two counts, one charging the illegal sale of liq- uor and the other the illegal man ufactufe. The action was brought under the provisions of the State wide prohibitory law passed by the Legislature of 1915.
 The chances are that Rogers will, in addition, have to face the charge of larceny, since it is developing that the material used in the con- struction of the still was stolen property.
