THE MARKET REPORT Daily market letter from the M. L. Williams Commission company, Coates block, Flattsmouth, Neb.: Wheat The market on wheat was weak from the start today and closed near the low price. It ral lied a little during the trading and slumped slightly. Findley-Barrell and Bartlett-Patton were selling. The decline in wheat was attributed to the report of John Inglis, who has Just returned from a trip through the corn and wheat belt. Corn Declined from the opening, caused from some of the commission bouses becoming active sellers of the product. Ware and Leland were good buyers on the decline. Oats Seemed to be in sympathy somewhat with corn and wheat, al though September oats closed c "higher than the opening. The farther months were lower at the close. WHEAT. ODen. HiEh. Low.

Commissioner's . Proceedings From the Omaha Bee we that Mrs. Alfred Johnson of Louis vllle, Neb., was hurt and two street cars badly damaged Wednesday morning when a Hanscom park car and a Harney car crashed into each other at Sixteenth and Harney streets. Both cars were in charge of strike breakers, who fled after the accident. Conductor Hall of the Hanscom park car was also Injured, but fled without waiting to have his wounds dressed. The collision was caused by the failure of the crew on the Harney car to wait for the Hanscom park car to pass the crossing. When the passengers saw the collision was about to happen they scurried for the doors and most of them got out safely. Mrs. Johnson was In Omaha for medical treatment and she was on her way to Dr. C. C. Allison's office. She was struck on the right side and severely hurt. She was taken to Dr. Allison's office in the police ambu lance 5.25 2.50 3.00 10.00 10.00 2.50 34.81 8.00 Market Gossip.

There were a few men who hav excellent opportunities for ' knowing what Is going on 'who said that there is still a large Bhort in terest Others said that the shorts had covered so freely that they be lieved that the bulge would be over within the next few days.

Corn Weakness in September corn with Increased of ferings from western Iowa and east ern Kansas was rather a surprise to the corn bulls yesterday In the face of the unfavorable weather and pre dictions of frost. With wet weather in the corn belt, owing to the equl noxlcal storm being on, which may last a few days, a crop expert says that not over 3 per cent of the corn an be hurt by the frost. .1. M.

New York City Officially Recoanlzes His Achievement In Formal Resolu tion Passed by Board of Aldermen Providing for Public Reception at City Hall Brings His Story and Data of Polar Dash. New York, Sept. 23. At the Waldorf-Astoria last night Dr. Frederick A. Cook submitted cheerfully to one of the severest cross-examinations since he announced his discovery of the North pole. The ordeal of the In terview, which was conducted by newspaper reporters, including many foreign newspapers, proved at least that Dr. Cook was not afraid to meet the public. Incidentally, the city of New York ofllclully recognized his achievement when the board of alder- nmn nnaunrl n vpunlnHrm M1U 111 Pllim'11 t - An examination disclosed she was ng his discovery and providing for a . . .

We received a letter this morning from Mrs. M. A. Bates, who la with R. A. and wife at the Thornton & Minor hospital at Kansas City. She reports the patients in good spirits, and that R. A. will be operated upon today, and says no serious results are apprehended by the attendants. Mrs. R. A. Bates' operation has been postponed for a week or ten days, and no serious results, the doctors report, are apprehended In her case. Both have great courage and explicit confidence in Dr. Minor, who will perform both operations In person, Cook '8 answers did not differ In a great degree from his original recital. Some slight details were cleared .up, however, which throw light on the way in which the polar dash was ef fected. The most Interesting phase of the interview was reached' when Dr. Cook was asked If he would object to show ine his diary. He Immediately con sented and after retiring to his room, returned with a small octave note book, which he showed freely to all. It was a thin book, containing 176 pages, each of which was filled with fifty or sixty lines of penciled writing in the most minute characters. The book, he said, contained considerably more than 100,000 words, while he has besides other books embracing his ob servations and other data. Replies Without Hesitation. As question after question was asked, whether it was of a trivial nature or of a more serious trend, Dr. Cook answered In a low voice without assisted by others. Mrs. M. A. Bates hesitation, as though in full possession will remain until both are onerated of all his facts upon. Tickling or dry Coughs wi:: quick ly loosen when using Dr. Shoop's Cough Remedy. And it is so thor oughly harmless, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers to use nothing else, even for very young babies. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung healing mountainous shrub give the curative properties to Dr. Shoop's Cough" feemedy. It calms the cough, and heals the sensitive bronchial mebrances. No opium, no chloro form, nothing harsh nsed to injure The interviewers were rather se vere in regard to details, but nothing indicated that the polar traveler's memory was at fault even In the most minute particulars. Occasionally, when a question was long and complicated, he asked for Its repetition. Not until then did he refuse to reply, except when the name of Commander Pearv was broached. Then he said be had always and did now consider Peary as his friend, but controversial subjects he avoided, saying they could wait. When requested to say what had occurred at bis meeting with Harry or suppress. Demand Dr. Shoop's Whitney, the New Haven sportsman, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Everett drove up from their home, east of Union, this morning and after transacting some business matters returned home in the evening. They were callers at the Journal office, of course. and take no other. ers. Sold by all deal- Funeral of Little Child.

The service was conducted by Rer. Burgess of St. Luke's church. The little one suffered from an at tack of summer complaint, from which it could not rally.

HAD QUIT WORK READY TO GIYE UP IN DESPAIR Restored to Health By Vlnol "I was sick, run-down and flnaiij had to give up work. After trying a number of remedies and several phy sicians, I was Just about ready to -give up in despair. I saw Vlnol ad vertised and decided to try it, and it has done more good for me than all other means combined. It has built me up and restored my strength until I now feel twenty years younger, and am able to attend to my work again as usual." Job Jeavons, 1036 Llnd street, Wheeling, W.

GERIMG & CO. Druggists Builds Modern Crib. C. E. Cook, the Jolly farmer from south of the city, was In town today. He has Just completed the construc tion of a large double crib, Bhlngle roofed and driveway -between, and other modern conveniences; also ar ranged so that hot and cold water can be put In. C. E. has Just com pleted the Job of painting the struc ture, furnishing the material and skill himself, so that he feels rather confident that It Is done proper. W. II. Klecan Here. W. H. Klecan, formerly a railroad engineer, was In the city today look ing after business matters for a St. Joe overall firm. Mr. Klecan got Into a wreck about three years ago and had his right eg so badly mashed up that he was put out of commis sion. At the time of the accident he was pulling a heavy freight and the engine left the track and toppled over on the engineer. Four cars of cattle Just behind his engine were all killed and a car load of wheat dumped on top of them, while sev eral cars of sheep were let loose in the surrounding fields. 1. 1 mm & m Notice of Dissolution, Notice is hnrobv mvcnthatS the co-DartnershiD of E.g i G.

O. he said he preferred to let Whitney tell his own story, as Whitney was quite unbiased. His reasons in Im posing secrecy on Whitney, on Prltfhard. Cemmander Peary's cnbln boy, and the Eskimos were prompted by his desire to be the first to tell the world of his discovery. He had done the work, he said, and was entitled to relate how rt had been carried out. Some ef the Questions. Some of the most Important ques tions put to Dr. Cook during the In terview and bis replies thereto follow: Q Will you describe In detail any single observation taken by you at the North pole with the exact figures of the results and the corrections sp oiled? A Not at this present moment. We will describe every one of them in de tail when they go to the University of Copenhagen. They will go there within two months. The entire rec ords will be delivered to the unlver sity and after that they will go to everybody that wants to examine them. Q In your original narrative, as published in the New York Herald, ou said: "The night of April 7 was made notable by the swinging of the sun at midnight over the northern ice. Our observation on April 6 placed the camp In latitude 86:36, longitude 94:2. The astronomers say that In the lati tude you mention the midnight sun would have been visible on April 1 and that If you fully saw It for the first tjnie on April 7, you must have been 650 miles from the pole, instead of as you suppose. Therefore to have reached the pole on April 21 you would have had to travel thirty-nine miles daily. What Is your explanation of the apparent discrepancy? A In the first place, It Indicates the point I have taken; nobody can nronounce judgment on a matter of this kind until they get the complete record. The northern horizon at m!d- njght hnd been so obscured that we could' not tell whether the sun was below the horizon or above It. We were not making observations at mid ntirM. Therefore this statement Is based on the fact thut we have said thnt It was possible to see the sun on mlilnleht of that day. I have not looked through the Herald's story as It has been written out In full. My Impression is that we were absolute ly unable to see the sun the midnight hpfnm that. The horizon was ob scored. Put la New Heater. Byron Clara uud Tom Walling are preparing to put in a water heater to supply summer temperature for their store and office building. R. Peterson is putting i nthe concrete foundation for the furnace, and J. Dauer A Son will do the rest. It seems that the hot air furnaces are rapidly giving way to the hot water plan, as many are making such changes. Kittle Cummins, piano teacher. Fall term begins September 27.
