FRESH DECLINES
SHOWN BY WHEAT
Easier Cables From Foreign Centers
and Favorable Weather Reports
Turn Prices Downward.

Chicago, June 12.-Wheat prices
took a fresh downward swing today
influenced by easier cables, favorable
weather and the slowness of shipping
demands. The big total of the Uni
ted States visible supply counted
against the bulls and so, too, did the
increasing domestic receipts Open
ing prices, which ranged from sc to
sc lower, with July at 1.034 to 1.04
and September at 1.05% to 1.05$4, were
followed by a material further drop
in values.
The close was unsettled IA to 1Sc
net lower, with July at LOS and Sep
TENDER at L047s.
Warmth and sunshine caused gen.
eral rush to sell corn. On the ensuing
decline, little support was encountered
After opening 3sc to a. down, the
market continued TO show a tendency
to sag.
The close was nervous at 1s@Ac
to &c net decline.
Oats gave way with other grain.
Commission houses were almost unan-
imously on the selling side.
Higher prices on hogs rallied the
provision market. Buying, however
was in the main of scattered sort

Casing Is Broken,

Saturday at the artificial ice plant
site occurred an accident which proved
to be a great hindrance in the pro
gress of the deep-well drilling there.
Somewhere at depth of 100 feet the
casing of the five-inch hole, which has
now reached a depth of 275 feet, was
broken. 1t is thought that the accident
was caused by a flaw in the five-inch
casing pipe. This accident is of a
rather serious nature, in that it may
necessitate the drilling of a new hole.
If the casing can be successfully re-
moved from the well the digging of a
new hole will be avoided. This will
delay the work upon the deep well
considerably.

Sheriff Nabs Youthful Suspects.


About a week ago Frank Walters,
farmer residing north of Buffalo
Prairie, missed from his premises a
large amount of hides and furs which
he had collected with the intention of
selling them to the T. D. Winders
poultry house. Upon investigation
suspicion centered upon three young
men, John Pierce, Lawrence Wake
land and James Scranton of Millers-
burg. These three had evidently over
heard upon the phone the night prev
ious to the theft a conversation in
which Mr.. Walters, calling T. D. Win
ders, asked if Mr.. Winders would be
at the poultry house early the next
morning, that he wished to bring the
wool to town so that he might get
back to his home in time to go to
work in the field. The theft occurred
the same night. 1t was learned that
the young culprits had sold the wool
to buyer in Joy and had received
something more than $50 in return
Friday evening Deputy Sheriff O'Day
brought Scranton and Pierce from
their homes in Millersburg, lodgirl
them in county Jail here 1t was
learned also that Wakeland was in
Rock Island and that he would return
to Aledo the following night Conse-
quently Sheriff Tutrell and Deputy
O'Day intercepted the yourg man at
Gilchrist as he was boarding the car
for Aledo. Money was found in both
shoes of the fellow. he having only 81
currency in his pockets A suit case
which he carried was found to contain
about 80 pints of whisky. Pierce and
Wakeland do not deny their part in
the theft. Scranton, however, upon
questioning stated that he was hired
by the others to carry the wool from
the farm to JOY, receiving S. for the
trip. The three young men are being
held in jail.

Some Sarcastic Comments.
A road is a device of long stapd,D,
which in modern times Is used h.
autos to wear out. Roads are als,
used to raise dust and taxes and Nm
chickens, dogs and children.
Roads are very common. almost .,
common as accidents. We see them
everywhere. 1t is quite difficult m.
deed, to 60 any distance without nm.
ming across one.
Roads are made of various materials
In the northern part of this country
they are made of bluestone and macsd.
am. In the southern part they I'M
made of mud. OF the two kinds Of
material the mud is likely to be mon
durable, which, as the Scripture 10
beautifully expresses it, "sticketh 70
one like brother"
Roads are not always friendly with
each other, and, although they can b
seen constantly mingling together, they
are likely to be cross. When a road
enters a city it becomes pulled up with
Importance and is then known as {
street, a boulevard or an avenue.

the society, is not always agreeable to
