Big Wheat Drop.

The unsettled condition Of the
wheat market has been a Pc
markable stance during
the past week. The price had
gone up so that s. IS was being
paid for it the first Of the week,
but the government orders to
prohibit the buying of futures
alter the lst, Of September had
a depressing effect. and the
price dropped 20 cents one day,
Is cents the next, and 20 cents
the day following, making a drop
Of So cents in three days. Most
of the elevators companies
sent out orders not to buy for a
day or so, and several Of the ele
vators here refused to purchase
last Tuesday.
The condition was probably
brought about by the fact that
the government is about to take
over the grain business, fixing a
minimum and maximum price
for wheat and rye. The matter
has not yet fully developed.

1.-THE BOSS"
At Bently Grand Theatre on Friday
and Saturday Augu st 1918

"Shindy" Mike was a finished
product OF the boss system. lie
bullied and bribed and black
lacked his way from a place be-
hind one Of the saloon bars in the
slum district Of Chicago into a
place OF irresistible power as a
political boss with vampire grip
upon the entire city. But even
roughneck politicians, as we'll as
heroes and lovers, sometimes
''cry for the moon and so we
find Mike Dorgan, the Boss, after
riding. roughshod over all OBJ
stacles to his material success,
baffled in his great and over
whelRing desire for the love Of
a good woman. How the desti
MES OF thousands Of dependent
people are changed by the rein
ing influence Of womans Won
derous power is depicted graph
iCally, with many comedy side
lights, in the big, vital story Of
"The Boss. +"
The play will be presented by
the Broadway Players and a
convincing performance is as
sured with the capable members
Of this popular company in the
cast. Mr.. Hogan will enact the
role of THE Boss and his delin-
aneation Of this difficult part is
almost classical in it's smooth
and sincere consideration of the
character of the powerful politi-
clan. Mr.. Waddell is especially
strong as the Bishop, whose in
fuence upon the strikers contri-
butes to the crushing of the boss.
Miss Helen Shipman will portray
the earnest, self sacrificing set
tlement worker and her acting
in this play is we'll up to the
standard she has maintained for
several seasons. Mr.. Minger
appears as "Porky'' the Irish
wardheeler and contributes his
share toward the ever increasing
tenseness of the play. Miss
Sutton will play the part of the
frivolous society lady who is a
fan at the great game of life, and
Mr.. A. F. Lockhart who has now
permanently joined the Broad
way Players, will be seen In the
role of a spirited, shrewd busi-
ness man of Chicago.

Fire .

DR.. j. w. Ross home was dis
covered to be on fire between two
and three o'clock yesterday after
noon. Fortunately the fire had
not burned through the kitchen
walls or roof where it had started
and the prompt arrival of the
chemical engine and hose company
brought the fire quickly under con-
troll. While the fire was confined
to the kitchen, the smoke that
filled the house was damaging to
all the interior of the building.
Mrs. Ross had left the premises
but a short time before when there
were no indications Of fire around
and she had had no fire for several
hours. She is unable to surmise
how the fire originated if it was
not from mice and matches or
electric wire.

TACT that the first races are ad-

the advertisement Indicating
that the speeding attractions
are scheduled as a regular thing

questionable if the moral senti-
ment OF Milbank will wish to en-.
dorse the enterprise. We un-
