CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Scattered Liquidation Brings About Fur
ther Decline tn Corn Prices.
Chicago, Aug. 28. Llqnldatlon of corn
continued today but It was scattered snd the
net result was a decline of 2 cents In Sep
tember snd 1 in October options. The
range of prices covered an extreme 8 centa
and the close,, while at a recession, was
lc better than bottom. 8horts covered
on the government weather report and pri
vate Information that there bad been no
Improvement In the corn sections most
sfflleted by the recent drouth. October
closed st $1 .66 si. Bears noted that No. 1
white corn sold at Indianapolis yesterday
at $1.60, also the large receipts, the easi
ness of the sample market and the faot
that cattle and hogs on feed were reported
less than a year ago.
The price of oats as usual was guided by
corn but its reluctance In that direction
was again apparent. In the sample market
No. 3 white continued to aell at lc under
September. Cash Interests were sellers ot
October and buyers of September, but there
was also outright selling of September,
probably hedging. The close was c
lower.
Provisions were dull, but sdvanced 12
30o in sympsthy with higher hogs. The
government was reported to have asked for
tenders on lard and meats, which also
helped the price September lard advanced
to a parity with October.

"Pavement Submarine" to
Perform Stunts in Omaha
D. D. Mach in his "pavement-sub
marine," will be in Omaha the last
three days this week to cavort over
the streets of Omaha in the interests
of the Sun theater. Mach contends
that his machine has the tanks beaten
to death, it will go more places and
do more stunts and has the added
advantage of cheap ammunition; it is
a kaiser killer by means of laughter.
Many of the contortions which his
submarine will do are too deep for
a mere tin lizzie mechanic to describe
It spins and bucks, backs ub and
slides sideways, shoots forward and i
reputed to be able to dive through
pavement or fly in the air.
Mach will bring the wonder from
hiding at noon Thursday in front of
the Sun theater and will drive un
Farnam stret and all through down
town district ballyhooing Louise
Glaum in "A Law Unto Herself,"
picture of Alsace-Lorraine before
the war, at the Sun.

What Happened in 6th Ward?
Certain Demos Seek to Know
What happened in the eighth dis
trict of the sixth ward during the
recent primaries?
This question is bothering, some
what, the democrats who were inter
ested in the tace for county attorney.
In this district, Frank Keeean,
nominee for the legislature, lives. It
was politically understood that Kee
gan would back Abbott in his
race for county attorney.
Abbott in this district received five
votes, as against 36 for O'Hara.
I here might have been a double
X, declare democrats.

forward since I was here last," said
Edward E. Hennes, Grand Army of
the Republic veteran, after he alight

as North Flatte that year. We slept
in tents all that winter.
Mr. Hennes stopped off in Omaha
on his way back from the conven
tion of the Grand Army of the Re
public at Portland, Ore. He is on
his way to his home in Flint, Mich.

found," said Miss Templeton, "that
the efficiency of the army is greatly
increased by supplying good text and
reference books so that ambitious
men can study the profession of war,
including aerial work, navigation,
wireless telegraphy and kindred sub
jects, and it is on these reference
books and on quiet places in which
the men mav stnrtv iVi.m that th
money asked for will be spent"

Wisconsin Library association, who
has been loaned to the government
as camp library inspector and who
was in Omaha inspecting libraries in

short talk on the work the library
commission has been doinar. Mr.
Dudgeon stated that thirtv-nin la
reference libraries have been estab
