Base Ball Playing In The Street

Base ball playing in the
streets still contir es regard
less of the fact that a ball
ground has been purchased for
this purpose.
Pedestrians must dodge base

Chicago Horse Market.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE only enliv-
ening feature OF the market this
week was the purchase of 100 head
for export to France. These were
bought by Gus Marx and will be
loaded out today. Fifty of the horses
are intended for killers, while the
other half are choice drafters and
will be uSed by the French farmers.
They averaged from 1880 to 1000
pounds and cost in the neighborhood
of $275 per head. Henry Pioso as
sisted in buying these horses.
One other order came from an
eastern buyer who wanted load of
chunks for shipment to Pennsyl-
vania. This demand called for stock
weighing from 1900 to 1900 pounds.
Quality had to be Of the best
There was little call for the right
kind OF southerns, but in the main
this trade was slow, with southern
buyers hard to please except at a
discount in prices. Trade in this
kind of stock is off at the southern
markets, it is stated.
The logging demand is very light
and buyers from the Maine woods
and the agricultural parts of that
state declare that the cali for work
stock is at minimum. With in
dustrial conditions continuing in q
somewhat tangled state, these buy
ers feel that the immediate future Of
the work horse in the northeast Is
anything but rosy. Another six
months and the beginning OF a new
year will have to roll around before
the demand and prices are better,
they predict
Ihere Is a rumor afloat that the
| loggers will not cut the usual amount
Of long timber this winter, owing to
reduction in building operations all
over the country. Vast stores of logs
are piled UP at the mills, it is said.
and the bulk OF the work from now
on will be confined to the pulp logs
| for the paper mills
Country buyers declare that farm
ers are independent and refuse to sell
their work animals except at high
er price than they will bring at the
ringside. Quotations for the best
kinds follow:

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Wheat-The
market ruled higher on account of
lighter receipts and reports that a
further quantity Of grain had been
| worked for, export late yesterday.
These same interests were said to be
after wheat again today. The British,
however, were not in the market.
Corn-Corn reversed the action of
yesterday and gained to 2Ia cents,
the latter in September delivery.
Small arrivals and heavy decrease
in the visible and local stock were
the principal factors behind the adj
vance. The country shows a dis
position to sell and receipts would
increase We're cars available. Any
further advance will probably cause
renewed selling pressure.
Oats-Heavy hedging and specu-
lative selling put the September de-
livery to a discount under the De-
cember. Receipts showed a sharp
falling off. The new crop has barely
begun to move, however, and should
have further depressing effect when
in full swing.
Provisions were duh
and lower early in the day. A
slight rally occurred late in the
session with the strength in grains.

Some Timothy.

Some Iowa farmers have been say
ing that there will be a short crop OF
hay this year, but John F. White has
some evidence out on his farm east
of Centerville that timothy will not
be such a bad crop. He has stalk
that was picked up after it had been
cut by the mower and it measured
four feet eleven and one-half inches.
1t would have gone we'll over five feet
before cutting. This was grown in
meadow of three or four years
standing. Mr.. White says that TIM
othy can be grown successfully only
if it is plowed up every few years,
it gets too much blue grass and req
top in it if it is let go too long. Like
wise some clover with the timothy
helps it.

Corn.
Fair buying of December corn by

Visible receipts, and need of rain
in some sections, were bullish in1l,l-

cent lower to y cent higher, with
September at $1.45N to $1.46 ard
December at $1.23 to $1.231s. but
soon became higher than the pre-
vious finish.
Corn prices averaged higher, due
to scattered commission house ard
and local buying. but the best prices
were not maintained. This was due
to profit taking and. some selling ON
the improved situation in Poland.
Closing quotations, however, were
stronger. showing net gain OF

ROSS LEADING WITH
 APACHE COUNTY OUT

With the official returns of only two counties missing Ross has a lead over Wheeler of 339 votes in the dem ocratic contest for the secretary of state nomination.
 Although IF days have elapsed since the primary election the returns from Apache and Pinal counties are still missing, and considerable appre- hension is beginning to be felt as to what has become of them.
 Ross lead is such as to make it next to impossible for Wheeler to get the nomination now, as far as the official returns are concerned. That contest proceedings will be filed by Wheeler, charging gross irregularities in the tally sheets, seems more probable than ever.
 Wheeler is known to have several agents in the field in certain counties where there was an alleged discrep- ancy between the unofficial returns

SHERIFF MAHONEY GRABS
 DRIVERS OF NEW CAR

M. c. North and Thomas E. Ball are being held in the county jail charged with the theft of the Mar mon car they were driving. They will probably be prosecuted here under the federal law, in which case it will be necessary to get affidavits concer- ing the car, from Indiana.
 If the young men are guilty, as it is not indicated, this will be one of the cleverest catches Sheriff Mahoney has made since he has been in office. The car is practically new and is sold for $470O.
 The young men were suspicioned on account of the fact that their personal appearance did not coincide with the kind of car they were driving. Ball was also trying to issue checks on his fathers account. His father is a practicing physician of Jonesburg, Missouri. Wires were sent to Mar tin O'Brien, chief of police of St. Louis, who looked up the car and found it had been lost or stolen in St. Louis about two weeks ago. The young men were arrested and it was later found that the car was the property of M. c. Norton, of Ft, Wayne, Indiana, who at the time he lost his car was in St. Louis.
 North carried a Shriner's card which upon investigation, was found to belong to Victor N. Hicks, Medinah Temple, St. Louis.
 Another interesting thing, Ball had several corners of five, ten and twenty dollar bills in his pocket. He said he was just fooling with them. An old tine-worn stunt is to tear off corners of bills, split them, and paste them over other bills in such a way as to raise bill say from $10 to $20.
 Of course there is no proof that this was Balls game but in these days. when King H. c L. is reigning su- preme, people are not expected to spoil perfectly good bills unless they are either nutty or have reason.-- Kingman Miner.
