Wheat The market today was
ery bearish and declines started
from the opening of the market. De
cember and the future months were
all lower at the start and during the
earlier hours. The foreign cables
ere all lower and a realization that
there was a tremendous wheat crop
in sight the world over largely aided
in the bearish tendencies. Russian
and Argentine crops were offered
freely, as was the case yesterday. The
advance ln the English bank note
rate also figured as a factor tending
to lower prices.
Corn As was the case with wheat
the market was very bearish. On
profit-taking the market ruled lower
throughout the day. A cessation of
wet weather in the corn belt was also
a factor for lower prices. Reports
are current of an unexpectedly good
yield in several states where a poor
crop had been anticipated, and where
husking Is ln progress better yields
are reported than anticipated. ''
Oats Market dull and listless and
slightly lower, largely In sympathy
with wheat and corn. Not much pros

When peace (Lad been declared
and the war cloud had rolled back
from over the country, Mr. Dunbar
came to the then promising Missouri
valley, where he embarked upon the
hotel business, a business which was
destined to follow until death touch

a hotel ln St. Joe, Mo., and later he
was at, Atchison, Kas., both then and
now flourishing cities. His advent
Into Nebraska followed and he be
came connected with hotels In Weep

again located at St. Joe, from which
point he came to this city and took
charge of . the Hotel Riley which he
successfully, managed for several
years, finally turning it over to his
son Frank H. and himself going to
Fremont, where ha took charge of
the Eno House which he manged
until last July when he returned
here. . .
It was during this term of service
in the army that Mr. Dunbar was
united in marriage to Miss Louise
Oakes at Breckvllle, O., on January
28, 1863 and of this happy union
three children were born. They in ad

It seems that a question of law
has arisen about Just when the sher
iff shall turn over to the county treas
urer the fees earned by him. To
our mind, it is very plain what the
intention of the law Is as expressed
by the word then In the section of
the law covering the sheriff's reports
and fees and It must also have been
very plain In the mind of the present
sheriff ' before the investigation
which Is now being made was commenced.
For on the 20th day of May, 1908,
he turned over to the county treas
urer $203.80; and again on the 27th
day of November, 1908, he paid over
to this same officer $103.96, and still
again on the 1st of May, 1909, he
made another payment to this same
officer of $43.45. Evidently Mr.
Qulnton's opinion of the law has
changed. He is openly quoted as say
ing that he can hold his fees, or the
people's money until the end of the
current year. Why, then did Mr.
Qulnton either misconstrue the law
on the above given dates or does he
misconstrue the law now?
