Lecturer at College.

c. A. Killie, the man from China,
delivered a most inspiring lecture
during chapel period at William and
Vashti college yesterday morning He
held the vast number Of students pres
ent spellbound during his entire ad-
dress. Mr.. Killie is speaker of whom
it may be said possesses extraordinary
ability as lecturer. His style, which
is in sympathy with the subject upon
which he is talking, is one which ap-
peals to the emotions and cannot be
resisted. His story of the degraded
condition of the majority of Chinese
people and the timeworn, ridiculous
customs practiced in that country was
interesting in the extreme. 1t is hop
ed that Mr. killie will at some future
time be able to address the student
body again.

The Aledo high school boasts this
year of having two excellent Glee
clubs. Both the Boys and Girls Glee
clubs are practicing each day and are
developing into two of the best must
cal organizations of their kind ever
possessed by the school. Some time
within the next two weeks these clubs
combined will render musical pro-
gram of merit. 1t has been decided to
have this program rendered in the
high school, as it has been found that
the schedule of dates for the opera
house is rather too complete for the
coming few weeks.
The question of the new postoffice
building and all necessary changes
accompanying such project is pro-
crossing slowly but satisfactorily. The
location for the new city hall is as yet
undetermined, although sites are now
being considered. The question of the
placing of the new standpipe has prac-
tically been decided upon, the site Sc

meetings of the grand jury.

can be arranged for.

DAMAGE REPORTS
RESULT IN RALLY
Wheat Prices Show Strength Following
Rumors of Injured Crops in Mis-
souri, and Illinois.

Chicago. March 15.-Crop damage
reports from Illinois and Missouri raj
lled the price of wheat today after
display of weakness at the start. In
some places the damage was estimated
as averaging 20 to 80 per cent, chiefly
the result of winter killing. Asser-
lions from Liverpool that British mill
ers were reselling had considerable to
DO with the early weakness here. Op-
enlng prices which ranged from 3se
to lc lower with May at 1071s to los
and July at 1.06A to 1.O6% were fol-
lowed by rise to we'll above yester-
days finish.
A sharp break in Liverpool quota
tons led afterward to a material set
back but not of a lasting sort. Ad-
verse weather in Canada had bullish
effect. The close was steady, 15s to
ia @17sc net higher with May at
1.1OA @l10as and July at 1.0S%.
Corn swayed with wheat. Trade was
light. After opening unchanged to nc
lower, the market scored a moderate
general advance.
Scantiness of receipts led subse-
quently to further gains. The close
was unsettled at 1a@5s to sc net I'd
vance.
Oats showed strength Independent
of other grain. The reason was the
prospect of a big reduction soon in the
Chicago stock.
Weakness in the hog market low

Signs College Players to
Strengthen Athletic Team
Special to the Telegraph

Philadelphia, June 2.-According TO
a report circulated yesterday, Connie
Mack will have eight college players
with his team when the Athletics re-
turn from the western trip. One of
the players is Captain Lawry, of the
University of Maine, and another is
"Jing' johnson, OF Ursinus College.
The latter is a pitcher and in a game
on Wednesday famed seventeen men.
Manager Mack is reported to have
said he intended TO keep Lawry on the
bench for time in order to give him
a chance to learn the style of play in
the major leagues. Mack did the same
thing with Eddie Collins when he first
got him from Columb bia College. Mack
expects Lawry to prove one of the
greatest players that ever came from
the college ranks and says he has sew
eral others who are sure to make good.
Wally Schang. who was hit on the
hand by pitched ball at Washington,
will very likely be out of the game for
some time. The Athletics left for the
West last night and will open the
series at st. Louis tomorrow.

pressed by Manager George Cockill

secured. Manager Cockill said:
We must have a regularly organ
lied corporation. If there are any
persons in Harrisburg willing TO take
stock I wish they would inform me
through the Telegraph. As soon as

may be secured l will be glad to meet
those willing TO back a team"
