Williams Commission company, Coates block, Plattsmouth, Neb.: Wheat The closing of the session of the Chicago board of trade today was one of great excitement, .even for that active body. A large open interest was maintained In the Sep tember delivery of wheat until the last, and as the last few moments dragged along the excitement became more intense, and Ihe wheat for this month's delivery, which opened at $1.06, gained at each trade, mount ing until at 1 o'clock it was selling at $1.11, and the holders reluctant to part with their property even at that fancy price. Those who had sold for delivery, and needed the grain, were forced to' offer higher and still higher prices, and the quotations were like the thermometer tin a hot day- every few seconds added lc to the price until $1.20 had been reg istered, when a little recession was had, the- price reacting to $1.19, and' then playing between that 'and $1.20 until the close, the final sale being at that price. -. Corn The opposite procedure was the rule In the corn pit from that which characterized the leading cereal wheat. The. price of corn, which had held firm- for the most part of the day, began to give way, and from the opening the price of September corn at 64c, the price slipped away until the close that de livery down to 61c, where it closed. Oats Was a busy member in the closing days of the month, as during the first of the week It was selling at 39 c, and while crawling up at 1 and 2 cent Jumps sold during the day at 50c, and closed with but little recession.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says Wheat Traders with northwestern connections were very bearish all day yesterday, and the northwest sold wheat here. A bear's explanation of the wheat situation was that the market would be strong, while the milling trade and Jobbers of flour are laying in stocks to provide for a rep ltitlon of the high prices that pre vailed last spring. But as we raised a larger crop than last year the bulls will eventually be disappointed, and while wheat may sell higher during the accumulation of supplies it even tually muRt sell lower, especially If the winter wheat goes Into the ground in good shape, and promises well next Bprlng, and the spring wheat farmer can market his crop freely. Roberts bought more wheat than any other house. Corn A great many traders as well as a num ber of the largrst commission houses continue very bearish on corn, although they admit that bulges every few days after sharp breaks, but they advise selling May above 60c for a long pull. Country contlues a fair seller of new and old corn, and the cash situation In old corn was regarded as very weak. It was said after the close that Ware k Leland had sold 1,500,000 bush els of December and May. Broomhall cables: Wheat Open ed steady and the market was quiet and values ft lower and further de clined during the morning. When the undertone became heavier this pressure was in the way of realizing, prompted by the "disappointing American cables yesterday, cheaper commodity offerings and continued liberal Russian offerings. Septem ber was unchanged during the morn ln. At midday the market was lower. Corn At the opening the market was quiet and unchanged. Later values lost in sympathy with wheat, lower American cables and poor support. Still Has Two Legs. The News learns that Frank Goble- man, well known In this city as a sign painter and telegraph operator, and for some years a resident of this city, is now !n the hospital at Omaha and underwent a surgical operation in which he lost his left limb, it seems that the limb has been bother ing him for some time, and that after leaving here went to Plattsmouth, and as the trouble grew greater he was compelled to go to Omaha and enter a hospital. His many friends here will regret to learn of his mis fortune. Nebraska City News. After the Journal reporter read the above In the News he proceeded to visit Frank, and found there was no truth in the report. We found him at the headquarters of the M. L. Wil liams Commission, company, where he is employed as operator. He says that while the limb has been giving him trouble, more, or less, for twenty-five years; he has never yet con sented to an amputation, and does not desire to as long as he can help It, he says. : ' ' ' ' The Tent Meetings. . A large crowd greeted Wilhite and Tuckerrrian in the tent last night. The interest' In these meetings is reaching out and growing under the powerful eloquence of 4' man whose life is laid upon God's altar for the souls of men.' Already fifty people have accepted ChrlBt, with the meet ings less than two weeks old. This Is a very remarkable showing for a city of so much religious Indiffer ence as Plattsmouth. It is a victory unparalelled in our religious history. Tonight Mr. Wilhite will speak on the subject, "Ten Reasons Why 1 Believe the Bible." The business men of the city are urged to hear the great evangelist in this theme. Again we wish to admonish the people gen erally that they canont afford to miss any of these meetings. Three came forward In response to the in vltatlon last night. With the Sick Mrs. Dan Rice Is Blowly recover lng from the bruises received in the runaway last week. Mr. Rice says that "Denver mud" seems to be the only remedy that will do her any good, but that the "mud" is pretty expensive, as it comes at a dollar box and one box is required for each application. Mrs. Rice can now move one arm so as to help herself slightly The report from the bedBide of Will Egenberger this morning was favorable, and he Is getting along fine. H. K. Dunbar Is gaining strength although he Is a long way from being strong. He was able to take a few steps yesterday, supported by the nurses. Evil Effects of Strike. G. G. Baldock and Roy Freed, both painter from Omaha, were In the city today looking for work. These men say that the strike of street car men is a great drawback to all kinds of business. Men have to walk five and six miles to their work and return. One old gentleman, a carpenter, walked In from Benson for several days. Although a non-union man, he would not ride until finally he go so worn out that he submitted and took a car, but apologized to the other men in his gang on the ground that he "was all in." A large mapority of the citizens are in sympathy with the strikers, and all acts of violence are chargeable to strike-breakers and sympathizers. I'p From Kansas City, R. A. Bates came up from Kansas City this morning, and will remain a few days. He Is feeling pretty well, considering everything, but Is far from full recovery yet. Mrs. M. A. remains with Mrs. R. A. Bates during his absence, and will remain until after the latter Is operated upon, which will be a week of ten days. She feels more encouraged than she did when she first entered the hos pital, and the physicians give ber all the encouragement possible. Money Conies Slowly. Major Flemke has Just finished mailing out 200 letters, appealing for financial aid for the Gospel Army to help pay for the church property lately bought, and has received two replies. Where are the "ninety and nine?" The major will hold a street meeting at the Riley hotel corner this evening at 7 o'clock. OMAHA " STRIKERS Justly Refute the Charges of Waning Members of their Ranks. Omaha, Sept. 30. About 400 striking street car conductors and motormen In uniform paraded the principal business streets yesterday afternoon. This Is fifty more than appeared in the parade Sunday, Sep tember 19, the day after the strike was called. Today's demonstration was Intended to refute the claim of the company's officials that a large percentage of the strikers have re turned to work. The company today refused the request of the governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben to agree to submit the dispute with its carmen to arbitration. The request was made because of the effect the strike Is likely to have upon the at tendance at the fifteenth annual fall festival of that organization, which began today and is to continue until October 9. President Wattles! of the car company, assured the governors of the organisation that the street car service would be ample to handle all the crowds that msnally attend the festival. ' . Opt-raU'd on Today. Lillian Bess Cummins, little daugh ter of Charles' Cummins and . wife, Was operated tin at Omaah today for appndlcltlB. "I)r.'. E. .D. Cummins went to the hospital this mornih'g to assist in the operation.- Vtae little sufferer will go through Uhe ordeal without having her parents present, 'she having accompanied her uncle Frank to Omaha a few days since from their home in Colqralo.. The little patient displays a great deal of courage In facing such a critical op eration. ... Don't Walt for Proof. ...... The Weeping Water Republican re produces with glaring head lines, the article from the ' State Journal, wherein certain charges are preferred against a certain Republican post master. The many friends of this Republican postmaster, who have known him for many years, will not believe these charges until proof is made in the proper tribunal. And It would seem unfair for these two Republican papers to forestall proof of the charges against a Republican official by giving such wide publi city to gossip before the party has a hearing before the proper authority. The Journal, although Democratic and opposed to this ' office-holder politically, does not and will not be lieve such charges to be true until established by Indisputable evidence. New 31. P.
