GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago Market.

Chicago, July 17-Higher prices for
corn resulted today from the fact that
peace rumors had received no confirma.
ton and that cable advices again sug
gested prolonged hostilities.
Opinions prevailed also that selling
rad been overdone in view of decline
of more than 16 cents within a week.
Besides, cold wet weather in Illinois
end other important states were deem.
ed unfavorable elements of the crop
outlook. Opening quotations which
ranged from half to 27s cents higher,
with September at 1859 and December
at 1.10h to 112 were followed by mod.
crate further upturns before a reac.
ton set in.

to a fresh display OF strength. The

took place for "A considerable time.

this is the invention referred to

FILLIoN CONCERT PARTY.

In the Fillion Concert Party, tho
Ellson-White Chautauquas are pre-
senting coterie of artists who's
passion in music is for the classics
not the ultra-classic which empha-
sizes. technique rather than melody.
but the master compositions of the
worlds greatest composers. This
may seem distinct departure from
the usual mandate to appeal strictly
to the popular taste at all costs. The
management, however, feel assured
that good music in the hands of
such competent, well-known musici
ans as the Fillion Concert Party,
will appeal as directly to the pop
ular, as to the exacting taste of those
whose musicianship has given them
q more intimate acquaintance with
the classics.
The Fillion Concert Party is COM
posed of Ferdinand Fillion, Fern
Goltra, formally of Chicago Grand
Opera Co. and Miss Edna McEach-
ern, noted opponents severally of
the French Italian and Russian
Schools of Music. Mr.. Fillion has
repeatedly won the approval of the
foremost musical critics by his fin
ished mastery of both the violin and
piano. Fern Goltra, prima donna
lyric soprano, is already great fav
orite with Western Chautauqua aud
fences, who remember her delightful
singing with the Gullatto Trio. Miss
Edna McEachern, graduate of the
Moscow (Russian) Conservatory of
Music, pianist and accompanist, COM

WAR GROOMs NOT EXEMPT

Those who think they can get out of
going to war by getting married,
have another guess coming. Accord
ing to recent government order,
men of military age who have mar
ried since state of war was declar-
ed against Germany will not escape
their obligation Of military service.
The war department announces all
married men, who married since the
outbreak Of war will be treated the
same as the unmarried men in so far
as military duty is concerned. 1t is
desired that the upmost publicity be
given this notice by the press.
The department was moved to
take this action in order that all
men should understand exactly what
is contemplated in the organization
of an army to fight Germany. 1t was
desired that there should arise no
question of slackers upon the score
OF marriages contracted since the
outbreak of war with the possible
construction that the marriage in
any case was fastened in order to
evade military duty.

A SENATOR.

Not only the press, but the people
Of the country, owe debt of graft
tude to Hiram Johnson. the Pro-
yressive United States Senator from
California, whose speech, resulting
in the collapse Of the last amended
censorship clause in the espionage
bill, was one of the most remarkable
ltterances heard in the upper house
Of congress in years. The "elder
statesmen" as rule, are not dispos-
ed to give too close attention when
the floor is occupied by 'yearling'
senator, but they gave their atten-
ton to Johnson. He commanded
attention. He spoke with fervor
born of the great broad west. He
spoke not for the newspapers. He
spoke not from a partizan stand
point. He spoke boldly and man.
fully in defense of the constitution
of the United States. He spoke in
defense of the women whose sons
are to be taken from their sides to
do mems work at the front. He
spoke of the right of these women to
learn what their sons are doing and,
above this, their right to be protect
ed, by public exposure if necessary,
if these boys are to be made the
victims of incompetency or hidden
tyranny. He pointed out in fullest
measure the danger behind the pro-
posal made to throttle the thunder
ing of the press and even used the
words of the president himself to
point out the viciousness of the law
proposed. Though the votes were
close-39 to 38-the victory was
complete. let no man forget the on
slaught for our freedom was led and
fought and won by Johnson. Our
compliments to the great state of
California. Our compliments to the
United States senate. Our congratu-
lations to the people. For ourselves
a sense of security and pride so
long as we have men like this genial
giant from the west in the upper
halls of congress.
