Chicago Grain and Frovislons.
Chicago, Sept. 28. Big new downward
swings In the corn market took place to
day under pressure of a general rush to
sell. Word that a grand offensive of the
entente forces was in progress on all
fronts gave fresh Impetus to the bearish
sentiment due to the collapse of Bulgaria.
Buying was almost wholly confined to
shorts who had profits. Opening prices,
which ranged from c to 194c lower,
with October at $1.41 to $1.41. and No
vember, $1.39 to $1.40, were followed
by a further sharp descent of values.
Oats responded only moderately to the
break In corn. The fact that arrivals of
oats were scanty and that cash demand
was good, scted as an offset. After
opening unchanged to c lower, with
October at 72 c to 73c, prices underwent
a further sag, but then recovered nearly
to yesterday's finish.
Official denial that a minimum price
on hops was contemplated had a weaken
ing effect on provisions. Pork especially
declined.

New York, Sept. 28. The stock market
wss more sensitive to pressure today,
prices falling under the weight of mingled
profit taking and professional selling.
Driving In of a considerable portion of a
stubborn ahort Interest, coupled with the
fact that quotations have ha da conslder
sble advance, produced technical condi
tions which in the estimation of profes
sionals warranted a setback. War news
continued of a gratifying sort and the
readiness of Investors to take standard
shares at concessions kept the react
mostly within narrow bounds. Liberty
bonds yielded on large offerings. Sales
approximated 225,000 shares. The closing
was heavy.
New York, Sept. 21. The activity dis
played In yesterday's stock market was
resumed at the opening today, but profit
taking brought about recessions In some
of the shares which advanced on the re
cent upturn. The oils especially suffered
under this selling and United States Steel
also met pressure. Railroad issues were in
broader demand, with Canadian Pacific
gaining a point. Mercantile Marine pre

UNITARIANS OF
OMAHA AT HOME
IN NEW HHURCH
Religious Edifice Dedicated
Sunday Morning, Rev. Mr.
Dodson, St. Louis, Officiating.
Dedication of the First Unitarian
church, Harney street at Turner
boulevard, occurred Sunday morn
ing. The program included, in ad
dition to the regular service and
hymns, an address by William F.
Baxter, chairman of the board of
trustees, who gave a short sketch
of the history of the Unitarian
church in Omaha.
Mr. Baxter told of the first Uni
tarian church services held in Oma
ha in 1866 in Gise's hall on Douglas
street and the organization of a
church three years later with the
Rev. Henry F. Bond as the first
settled minister. The first church
building was at Seventeenth and
Cass streets and was under the
pastorate of Rev. Newton Mann. It
was dedicated December 15, 1891.
After Rev. Mr. Mann's resignation
in 1910 the church building was sold.
From 1910 until 1914, when a dwell
ing house at Fortieth and Cass streets
was rented and used for meetings,
the Women's Alliance kept up the
church organization. In 1916 regu
lar services were resumed in Tur
pin's hall. In October of that year
Rev. Robert F. Leavens was settled
as minister. Then followed the steps
which lead to the building of the
new church, the cornerstone of
which was laid in July 1917 by Wil
liam Howard Taft, former president.
The sermon Sunday was delivered
by Rev. George R. Dodson, minister
of a Unitarian church, St. Louis.
The musical program was given on
the organ, the gift of Mrs. G. W.
Mixter, in memory of her father,
the late Thomas Kilpatrick. Eloise
West presided and Mrs. O. W. El
dredge sang several solos. The
services were concluded by prayer
offered by Rev. Robert Leavens.
An organ recital will be given at
the church tonight at 8 o'clock.

Real Congressional
Magnitude Says Rush
John Rush, former city treasurer,
and former national bank examiner,
said to a Bee reporter today, re
garding the present congressional
campaign in this district:
"This is no time for partisan poli
tics. Our country, not the demo
cratic party or the republican party,
hut the whole country and all the
people, is engaged in the winning of
the greatest war the world has ever
known, and when we have won this
war by force of arms, our national
congress will be confronted w;th
stupendous problems of readjust
ment and reconstruction. The
whole .future of our country will
depend upon the correct solution of
these problems.
"It is our patriotic duty to send
men to congress at this time, only
because of their ability to deal with
these great problems, and in my
judgment, there can be no post-idle
question that Albert W. Jef-
fens is the man for us to send to
Washington as our next represen
tative. "He is a man of real congression
al magnitude; big. both mentally
and physically. He is safe, sane,
conservative and able, and the peo
ple of this district should vote ffr
him, without regard to their or
dinary political or party affiliations.
He easily measures up with the
leading men in congress, and you
may depend upon it that if we vend
Jefferis to Washington, we will all
he proud of him, and proud of our
selves for sending him there."

HEAD OFFICE OF
MACCABEES FOR
BLUFFSOR OMAHA
State Commander Winters An
nounces Jurisdiction to In
clude States of Iowa and
Nebraska.
The general headquarters for
Iowa and eNbraska of the Macca
bees will be located in either Coun
cil Bluffs or Omaha, and the busi
ness of the order in the two states
will be concentrated in one of these
cities.
The announcement was made
Sunday afternoon by M. Grant Win
ters, state commander, whose juris
diction covers Iowa and Nebraska.
He arrived Saturday afternoon from
Utah and is stopping at the Grand
hotel. He has been sizing up the
west for the last six months, and
will now concentrate his energies
toward the development of the or
der over a territory very much larg
er than the two states where he is
its supreme head.
Mr. Winters says the order has
now more than 350,000 members and
has become one of the strongest
fraternal organizations in the world.
He has been identified with it in a
managerial capacity for 30 years
and is enthusiastic over its rapid
development. He says it has paid
out more than $100,000,000 to wid
ows and orphans of its members
in the last 38 years, and has $20,000,
000 of its reserve fund in Liberty
bonds with $2.,000,000 cash in its
home and service fund, in addition
to a large fund set apart for war
work. The order keeps up the dues
of all members in war service and
pays all death and disability claims
of soldiers. A feature of the home
and a service provides for the care
of returned soldiers in their homes,
as well as dependent members of
their families.

Two More Council
Bluffs Boys Fall
On French Battlefield
Two more Council Bluffs boys
have fallen victims to the Hun on
the battlefields of France. Paul
Paulson, only son of Mr. and Mrs.
Neis Paulson, 1109 South Seventh
street, and Herman Nelson, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Chris Nelson, 2321
South Seventh street. Their parents
were notified Sunday afternoon by
a wire from the War department.
Paulson was killed in action Septem
ber 13, and Nelson died of wounds
the next day, September 14. Thus,
living on the same street in their
home town, they made the supreme
sacrifice almost on the same day.
Paulson was 29 years old. He was
in the first draft of registered men
and was assigned to Company I.
358th infantry. He was unmarried
and for many years was connected
with the street railway company,
serving in recent years as a con
ductor on the Iowa School for the
Deaf line.
Herman Nelson was 22 years old.
He was a member of Company L.
He enlisted in the company the day
following the declaration of war
against Germany. His parents re
ceived six letters frqm him on Fri
day and one on Saturday of last
week. They were newsy and full of
confidence. They bore dates of Au
gust 21 and 23. He referred to the
hard fighting in which he had been
engaged and said he expected to go
to tl.e rear in a couple of days "and
have a long rest." He had lived in
Council Bluffs during the greater
part of his life.
Council Bluffs Loan
Quota Half Subscribed
Nearly one-half of the full quota
of Council Bluff's fourth Liberty
loan allotment was taken to the big
mass meeting at the Auditorium last
night. The meeting begun early and
lasted, more than three-fourths of
the time beuig devoted to patriotic
speeches. When the call for sub
scriptions came more than $600,000
of the city's total allottment of $1,
061,000, was taken. Thousands of
cards for lesser amounts than those
publicly made were not counted
and will be reported as the pledges
are made good during the week.
The first subscriptions came from
the estate of General G. M. Dodge,
when R. B. Wallace, who took an in
tensely active part in the whole
meeting, announced that he was au
thorized by the executors and heirs
to take $30,0000 worth of the bonds.
This was quicl'y followed by a $25,-
000 subsscription by E. A. Wickham,
and the cheering had scarcely seased

(Spe

Liberty loan headquarters indicate
that up to Sunday at least, $90,000,
000 bonds, or over half of the state's
quota of $147,900,000, had been sub
scribed. The indications are that
the loan subscription will go over
the top early this week. Apparently
the counties are vying, one with
another, in undertaking to be first
over the top and to over subscribe
their quota.

Lewis Prettyman. son of T. J.
Prettyman, 3018 Dewey avenue,
Omaha, entered Uncle Sam's serv

"over there" several months, being
a member of Co. D, 47th infantry.
Writing from "somewhere in
France," to his parents, in part, he
writes: ,
"I have been unable to write any
for nearly a month because we have
been at the front and naturally have
been very busy and the way the
front has been lately, there was no
letter-writing, as in the old days of
trench warfare.
"I am now at what they call a rest
camp and you can bet the 4Zth needs
a rest. If ever a regiment did its
part on its first visit to the front I
believe we did ours.

and I feel lucky to be so after what
we went through. We. went "over

you call it that when you go after
Fritz in his own positions and clean
him out. They say we met the
Prussian Guard right off the reel,
and they claim the Americans are
crazy the way they go into battle.
They claim we are savage and take
no prisoners. We took some, how
ever, and they were a forlorn look
ing bunch, you can bet.
Not Trench Warfare.
"It has not bten the old trench
warfare lately, as we have tried to
keep them on the move, (retreating),
so they could not entrench strong
ly. .
"This means that for a man to
keep alive when things get warm,
he has to dig a hole, while flat on
his stomach, with his entrenching
tools and roll over in it. It's a
case of 'keep your head down, boy.'
"They got my 'buddy,' Blinder
si young Russian, who came to the
'states' a few years ago from
Ukraine. All his folks live there now.
He was killed the second dav in.
They also killed my former corporal.

Monopoly Charged
Under Present Plan
Sidney, Neb., Sept. 29. (Special
Telegram.) In his address to an
audience that filled the district court
room last night, S. R. McKelvie,
charged the Neville administration
had created a monopoly in the sale
of hog cholera serum. The state
veterinarians, said Mr. McKelvie,
has issued an order to the scrum
companies that they shall sell only
to veterinarians, thus depriving the
farmers of the right to buy direct.
Any intelligent farmer or county
agent, can, Mr. McKelvie said, ad
minister this serum successfully and
the effects of this order is to give
the veterinarians a monopoly and
greatly increase the cost to the
owners of hogs. Mr. McKelvie cited
this as an illustration of the indif
ference of the present administration
to the welfare of the people as a
whole. Mr. McKelvie's discussion
of "adjourned politics" was received
with enthusiasm as was his refer
ence to the machine control of the
democratic party.

PLEASED
BEAHETHODS
Inclined to Dislike Manner in
Which Chairman of Repub
lican Committee is Hand
ling Campaign.
From t Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Sept 29. (SpeciaL)-
Democrats are plainly not satisfied
with the way Ed Beach, chairman
of the republican state committee, ia
running the campaign and. the
local democratic paper expresses it
self in no uncertain terms.
Democrats say Beach has not
called the republican committee in
session since the campaign began.
They do not know that there has
been no necessity for the committee
getting together because the cam
paign is running along so smoothly
and satisfactorily. The executive
committee and the candidates have
had one or two meetings at head
quarters and the whole committee .
may be called in some time be
tween now and election day to cele
brate the inevitable victory for the
ticket. Members are all busy get-'
ting ready for the Liberty loan"
drive in order to help the demo
cratic administration win the war.
And Another Reason.
Another reason for not calling the
committee together is that so long
as the democratic state candidates
are traveling about trying to justify
their records, the republicans need
no stronger argument that there
should be a republican victory all
along the line.
Another democratic wail that
goes up is that a. K. McKelvie,
republican candidate for governor,
is spending a lot of money travel
ing around the state making
speeches. As it happens, Governor
Neville, the democratic nominee,
has been covering the same territory
and doing it in the same automo--bile
wav. Perhaps a democrat can
travel cheaper than a republican, or
perhaps the postmasters have begun
to send in their contributions
democratic committee, so
drain on the candidate
heavy.
And Still Another WaiL
Democrats also complain that Mr.
McKelvie has employed a campaign". ,
manager and established headquar
ters in the building owned by him-'
self where his paper is published.
This, in their mind is a crime, or
something like that. Perhaps he
ought to do like the democratic can
didates, run their campaign from
the state house, where the public
pays the freight for the room they
are using in their private offices.'
They think it a "horrible" thing be-"'"'
cause McKelvie has one campaign
manager, forgetting all the time that
the democratic candidate for the ,
United States senate has both Col
onel DeFrance and Judge Stark to
manag-; his campaigii

Beach ia WULUiaJSwi.
And while the democratic deno-r
crats are carrying on their guess-,
ing contest regarding the republican
campaign, Chairman Beach does not
care how much the other fellows
rave about his "winning ways." He
simply says he is well pleased with
the situation and with the reports
coming in from out in the state.
That Mr. McKelvie has made suf
ficient headway in his "swing around
the circle" the past two weeks to
indicate that he will be elected is
evident to the committee. Large
numbers of democrats who have a)!l
their life affiliated with the demo
cratic party are not at all backward
in saying that they are done with
that party forever. This is no guess
work, but actual facts and shows a
condition which may readily be dis
covered in most any portion of the
state.
