( WINTER WHEAT HITS NEW RECORD PRICE Both Wheat and Corn More Up from tho Prices Paid on Thursday. - MILLION SOLD FOB EXPOET WILSON ELECTED BY MAJORITY OF ONLYFEW VOTES (Catinaea from Pace Oaa.l No. 2 hard wheat went to $1.90 on the Omaha Grain exchange, a new top price for this class of grain. The greater portion of Nebraska wheat this year is grading No. 2 hard, yet generally the quality is not quite up to that fetching the record price. Another high record was made when mixed wheat sold at $1.92. This was for wheat grown out in the vi cinity of Lodge Pole, in the western part of the . state. All wheat prices were 2 to 4 cents higher than Thursday, the sales be ing made arouna to i.yu per bushel. The cause of the advance was attributed to reports of heavy frosts and grasshoppers doirg great damage to the Argentine wheat crop. Then, too, there were reports of an enormous exportation, Omaha get ting in on close to 1,000,000 bushels bought for shipment to Liverpool. Omaha receipts were ninety-seven carloads, or something over ,1,000,000 bushels. - ' . Corn Advances, Too. Corn followed wheat in the upturn, E rices advancing 2 to 3 cents per ushel and sellinu at 92 to 95 cents per bushel. The corn of both the old and the new crop sold at substantially the same price. Receipts tor the day were eighteen carloads. Oats were strong and sold at 53 to 54 cents per bushel, an advance of 1 to Yi cents. - There is a tip out that oats are due to a sharp advance in the near future, all on account of it being reported that the allies are in the market for several million bush els to be shipped abroad as soon as steamer space is available.

' BEATON DRUG COMPANY Mail Orders Filled Promptly. j of contests over one elector in each instance. The eligibility of a demo cratic elector in Texas has been ques tioned because he is said to be an office holder, and the federal laws prohibit a person holding office from serving as an elector. One of the democratic electors died in Washington just before election dav and the party managers attached pasters to the ballots substituting an other name for his. The legality of this procedure has been questioned oy I the republicans. A somewhat similar I case has arisen in West . Virginia, ' where one of the republican electors I refused to run, and the republicans I resorted to pasters bearing another I flame in place of his.
