T0DAYS MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-WHEAT-Decreasi
stocks in Liverpool and diminishing re-
ceipts at Minneapolis. Duluth and Winni-
peg had a bullish effect today on wheat
Beside world shipments were smaller and
the trade seemed more disposed than on
Saturday to attach Importance to Ruman-
ian defects near the Black Sea- On the
other hand Kansas City and Omaha report
ed many cars of wheat carried over from
last week unsold. Opening prices here
which ranged from Il decline to 11ac ad-
vance were followed by material gains all
around, and then something of reaction.
An increase in the United States visible
supply total acted temporarily as handi-
cap for the bulls. The close, however. was
strong 1sc to 715sc net higher with De-
cember at s1-4s1s to s1.4s% and May at
$1.49h
CORN-Corn rose in value owing to as
sertions that frost damage was much more
apparent today than had been generally
supposed would be the case. After open
ing 1sc to &c higher. the market continued
to ascend
Late strength in wheat tended further
to stiffen the price of corn. The close was
firm at &c to lie net advance
OATS-Oats hardened with corn and
wheat. Offerings were light
PROVISIONS-Trade in provisions was
almost entirely confined to lard. The
market sympathized with the firmness of
quotations on hogs.

partment of justice officials here, that
Donahue broke into the game. He
would claim to be the mysterious
stranger from the east.
According to the federal officials
today, here are some of the things
done by the syndicate:
They fleeced a multimillionaire of
New York out of $4,000 by threaten
ing him with arrest for alleged viola
ton of the Mann act two of the MEM
bers of the syndicate impersonating
secret service agents for that purpose.
They frightened a wealthy Philadel-
phia woman who had been too
friendly with a stranger in a cafe into
200 from each OF five Chicagoans,
two of whom are women. They
brought about their own arrest by
allegedly taking $4,000 from Mrs.
Regina Clipper, of Philadelphia, and
afterwards kidnapping her 1t was
said today that the organization had
worked as a whole since the first of
the year, and 1t is believed to have
cleaned up in that time 100000.
The government officials say that for
one known victim of the syndicate
there are probably twenty unknown.
The eight members of the syndi-
cate. so called, were still in custody
today waiting their preliminary hear
ing before a United States commits
sioner tomorrow. 1t was said the al
legged head of the organizations would
be arrested during the day.

tended inquiry today among horsemen
in Louisville failed to reveal his iden-
tity or locate "horsemans associa-
tion." The number given-146S Mar
ket street-does not, exist. House

street stop at 1882.
One Arrested in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Sept 1S.-An agent
of the department of justice will leave
here tonight for Chicago to appear
against members of an alleged black
mailing syndicate arrested in that
city Saturday night. With him will
go Mrs. Regina Clipper, formerly of
this city but now residing in New
Jersey, who is expected to appear
against some of those under arrest.
Mrs. Clipper was a victim of the al
legged Matchmaking syndicate accord
ling to the federal authorities, having
paid over to the syndicate a sum of
$1,000. Some of the alleged black
mailers were arrested and when Mrs.
Clipper was about to appear against
them they succeeded in getting her
into Canada.
Obstructing Justice Charged.
Government agents here said today
that the alleged blackmailers had laid
themselves open 10 a charge OF Cd
structing justice rather than one Of
kidnapping. 1t was the opinion of the
agents that Mrs. Clipper may have
voluntarily gone to Canada to avoid
being a witness and possibly get her
money back.

of the syndicate who was arrested
here on January 13, charged with at

present term of the federal court
here but as the woman has since died,
the case has been held up indefinitely.
Butler was arrested the da.- after an
alleged confederate was apprehended

THE ROMANCE is GONE.
(Toledo Blade.)

Y
From the southland comes the an
nouncement that the golden days of
the Mississippi river commerce are
about to return. Beginning some
time in April a line of thirty eight
steel power barges will be placed in
service between st. Louis and New
Orleans.
In antebellum days the Mississippi
was the great north and south high
way of commerce. With the develop
ment of rail lines, the river traffic be-
came almost neglibly small. In re-
cent years it has increased some. Pro-
moters of the new barge line are con-
fident that they can carry many kinds
of freight in successful competition
with the railroads.
The business may come back, but
the old river days romance are gone
forever. The new life on the Mississ-
ippi doubtless could be described more
adequately by the editor of an official
organ of Wall street than by Mark
Twain, for the boats are to be operat-
ed for economy and efficiency strict
ly ana rlglQIy.
So there will be no thrilling races
around the bend. Gone will be the
tall double tunnels belching wood
smoke. In place there will be lit
tie vent for the exhaust of smelly
oil engine.
Look for the big paddle wheels?
Gone, too; replaced by twin screws.
Hear the burly mate swearing at a
troop of negro deckhands? NO. A
whirring crane, driven by electricity,
is on the job instead, while up on the
Texas somewhere you'll hear the siz-
zle and snap of wireless outfit flash
ing the purser's report of profits to
the corporations New York office.
No, only the golden days of cash, not
of romance, are coming back on the
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1916-04-19
s.THIS MOMENTS REST.v


One made this prayer: Sweet Father
Christ, | crave
Some little, lazy peace to follow death ;
A sunny bank where tranquil willows
wave
Wind-silvered leaves, and time to
draw my breath
Beside a stream kneedeep in arrow
head
And dear forget-me-nots; a gentle
spot
Where l may thank my God that l am
dead
And all the traffic of the world forgot.
There, dreamless, l shall lie so still
so still,
The cautious moorhen plotting her
brood
Will heed me not, the heron stir no
quill
For fear of me in that kind solitude.
o, grant this truce from pain, this
moments rest,
Before l brace my soul to further
test"
