Wheat.-There was another Wild
wheat market, dealers displaying much
excitement and nervousness, although
the fluctuations were not so wide or so
strikingly violent as on Tuesday. Chi
cago wheat for December delivery
opened Nc up and speedily advanced
&c more, while May contracts opened
&c up and quickly advanced 37sc more
to $685., which is the high record
price for that month during the war,
the previous high record being s1.61,
which was established February s, 1915.
Afterwsrd many longs began to take
in profits, and hence there was more
pressure to sell, which caused recess
sion OF lac to &c. There was a net
gain at Minneapolis Of 2bc to 2ssc;
Duluth, 2%c; Winnipeg, 2asc TO 3s.
The active buying for both accounts
wa. prompted by the belief that the
drastic action OF the British govern
ment, and especially with regard to fix
ing the much lower rate on ocean
freight room, would result in further
large purchases for export. IL was de-
clared that government agents had pur-
chased or contracted for close to $780,
600 bushels Tuesday night and yester-
day, chiefly hard winter wheat.
Cable sdvices were encouraging,
European markets being Ard to Sd
higher on cargoes, which upturn was
largely based on the receipt of further
complaints Of damage by drouth In
Argentina, and consequently the opin-
ion is that the surplus in that country
will not be appreciably over 100000
bushels, against estimates q year ago
Of 100, 100000 to 120,0O0,0O0 bushels.

SHIP WITH 800 ABOARD
STRIKES MINE AND SINKS
Loss of Life on Mercury, Navigat.
ing Black Sea, Believed
Large.

PETROGRAD. via London, June "a
The loss of life on the steamer Mercury,
which was sunk by a mine in the Black
sea, has been undoubtedly large, from
late reports received in regard to the
disaster.
The Mercury was travelling from
Odessa to Kherson, with 500 passengers,
including large number of college
students. who were bound for their
homes for the summer vacation. The
vessel struck the mine thirteen miles
from Odessa and two miles off shore in
a rough sea. The bow was blown off
and the ship sank in five minutes. Only
two lifeboats were launched and both.
laden with passengers, were overturned.
Majority Are Saved.
Thirteen boats which were sent to
the rescue. were unable to approach
the scene, owing to the heavy sea, but
succeeded in rescuing passengers who
were strong swimmers who ioated to
them on fragments of wreckage. In
this way a majority of the passengers
were saved. but large number are un
accounted for. Twenty eight bodies
have been washed ashore.
The disaster was witnessed by the
captain of a Russian steamer. who,
however, did not attempt to come to the
rescue because he believed that the
shin had been torpedoed and that his
own vessel would suffer the same fate.
Official Announcement.
The Russian official statement in re-
porting the disaster says:
ION the Black sea our torpedo boats
sank five large sailing vessels and a
number Of small ships with their car
goes We took a number of prisoners
The passenger steamer Mercury came
in contact with an enemy mine and
sank A majority of the passengers
were saved"

AGREES ON SEVEN
CAPITAL WARSH|PS
Senate Subcommittee Closely
Follows Plan of Navy
General Board.

The Senate subcommittee considering
the naval bill has reached tentative
agreement to recommend building
program of four battle cruisers and
three dreadnaughts for the coming
year, as part of a five-year construc-
ton policy substantially the same as
that drawn up by the navy general
board. An amendment embodying the
plan probably will be reported to the
full naval committee within few
days.
AS it passed the House the bill pro-
vides for only five capital ships. all of
them battle cruisers, for next year, and
contains no provision for a building
policy extending into the future. In
creases over the House authorizations
have been urged upon Senate leaders
by President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels, and it is expected the program
decided on today will have the backing
of the administration when the bill is
brought in.

ED FOR OCCASION.-BEAUTI-
Full TABLEAUX-PIC

Secretary Gunsolus of the Board of
Commerce hands out the following
special information regarding Vene-
tian Night:
"On Friday evening of this week
our beautiful river and park will be
transformed into what fairy land
must be and will rival in splendor old
Venice with its canals and myriads of
lights. Strung across the river and
through the part countless electric
lights and Japanese lanterns will
CLEAN through the trees and this IL
Elimination added to by quantities of
red fire VIII make an impression on
the average mind which will never be
forgotten. Powerful search lights
will send their brilliant rays up and
down the river revealing in every de-
tail the beautiful decorations of the
water craft stretched for down the
river in single file.
"Floating over the river will come
the soft strains of that most wonder
full instrument, the Hawaiian ukalale,
accompanied by the tinkling mando-
Inns, each instrument in the hands of
an artist in love with his music.
Blending in harmony will be heard the
voices Of singers in the wonderful
old-time melodies and when the last
notes have died away Belongs we'll
trained band will exemplify the spirit
of the thousands of true Americans
gathered in the park, by rendering
patriotic selections that are always
in favor.
"The weaving of the ribbons of the
beautiful, old-fashioned Maypole
dance will be staged by the children
and will be one of the first attractions
of the evening, and this will be fol-
lowed by the parade of water craft
and shortly after, on a huge float,
built for the occasion, the original ex-
preston tableaux will be given and
all will be able to see this feature as
the float will be anchored in the river

ing in their cars will find parking fac
ilities on the chautauqua grounds

by special officers so you can rest as
sured that your car will not be mo-
Tested.
"Once again we extend to each and
every one an invitation to come to

Accident Not Serious

Eli Lowden and his car were in a
slight accident last Friday on the
corner of Main and Bridge streets,
which might have been more seri-
Gus one. He was rounding the COR
ner to go north on Bridge street and
in trying to avoid some people cross
ing the street he swerved to the left
and the brake failing to work his car
struck head on into Art Strong's car
which was standing at the curb.
No person was injured but Strong's
car sustained a puncture while the
Lowden car had a broken head lamp.
Mr.. Lowden is a careful driver but
his car is heavy one and the brakes
not working made it impossible for
him to stop.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM GIVEN.
SERMON PREACHED BY
REV. BLAIR

The large auditorium, the League
and Sunday school rooms, the CALLER
les and even the parlors of the Cen
trail M. f. church were crowded to
overfowing Sunday evening, the event
being the the annual baccalaureate
services for the local graduating
class. The church was tastifully dec
GRATED for the occasion.
The members of the graduating
class occupied seats i'm the center of
the auditorium and their relatives sat
Immediately in the rear. Rev. w. f..
Doty was in charge of the services,
who was assisted by the ministers Of
the other churches in carrying out the
program to success. Rev. c. M.
Pease gave the Invocation and Rev.
w. A. Bliss the benediction. The choir
i'm charge Of George Wagner, rendered

Downs sang, "Abide With Me-" as a
solo giving it xecellent Interpretation.
In presenting his text of the even
ing Rev. Blair read the lesson of the
rich young ruler and took his theme
from the sentence pronounced by Jesus
when he said to the ruler: "This do
and thou shalt live" Rev. Blair then
showed, by examples, the results Of
obedience to the will Of Jehovah and
introduced as a query on which to base
his arguments the question of how to
secure the greatest reward in that
obedience. One Of the best ways to
secure approval was to practice those
things that would give boy or girl a

Unique Eskimo Showing

Much attention was attracted to the
exhibits shown by the domestic arts,
and manual training departments OF
the local schools last Saturday. The
displays were shown in the windows
of the T. Frank Ireland company, +.
G. Lloyd's and Jensen and Wheeler's
stores. In the latter window room
was fitted up with stands, magazine
racks, paper receivers and library
table, all the work of students in the
manual training department.
In the window at the Lloyd store
all of the displays were of garments
made by the students in the domestic
arts department. Much of the trim
mings on the garments, and also the
machine needle work had, been done
by the students in way that reflect
ed considerable credit to them. The
work showed that they were being
taught useful methods and to work
on articles of necessity in every home.
In the windows at the L. Frank Ire
land company the background was
made of crayon work done by the
younger children. Here too many of
the sketches showed skill and ac-
curacy that cannot be gained without
much pains and study. The crayon

body of the windows was filled with
library tables, umbrella racks, chairs,
paper baskets, magazine racks,
clothes hangers and scores of other
usefud articles made by the younger
children. In the extreme west win
dow was a relief showing conditions
among the Eskimos. The ice noun
tains. the ice homes, and snow-cap-
ped trees were made of cotton neat
ly arranged in a way that looked real
Sleds, dogs and miniature Eskimos
had been nodded out of clay and were
logically arranged through the scene.
Clay seals also laid on the shores of
the lakes and streams, having been
hauled through the ice by the resi-
dents.
The many showings were Of general
interest to everyone along the streets
and called out numerous compliment
tary remarks from the onlookers. 1t
was evident from the conversation
that they believed that vocational
training should be encouraged in the
schools.
