Favorable crop and weather reports from the northwest and Canada and a bearish construction on the government report, were responsible for selling for local traders today, theis being followed by a break of over lc in prices, which recovered late. The close was at the highest prices for the day. Wet weather in the southwest had a strong Influence on September, and it went to a fraction of a cent at one time. Country offerings were not large and hedging sales were hardly a factor here. A big export business was put over at the seaboard, 800,000 bushels being reported as sold, with some business today. Local traders were on the selling side of corn early, but offerings were readily absorbed by strong commission houses, but when wheat started upward shorts tried to cover but found little for sale. Closing sales were well toward the top. A marked improvement for oats more than offset the government report and breaks in wheat and a reaction of more than 1 cent followed. Country offerings were not large. Provisions held a comparatively narrow range, breaking early on selling of pork by houses with stoc yard connections, but on the break shorts took the buying side and a rally followed the finish being c higher. HOW TALL ARE MARTIANS? WINONA Lake, Aug. 10. At a recent lecture here given by Dr. W. E.

NEWSPAPER MAN ELECTED. MUNCIE, Aug. 10. Marion C Fullhart, a newspaper stenographer, has been appointed to the board of police commissioners by Mayor Bunch. COMMISSIONERS Continued Prom Page One. I have to be over Doran bridge, which I is not safe for interurban, thereby necessitating the transfer of passengers other. County Commissioner Anderson believes that the plan of Engineer Mueller is the most practical, and that the old iron structure can be used in other parts of the county as reinforcement for cement structures. "I want this report to relieve me of any responsibility if any accident happens," said Engineer Mueller. "Four years ago I recommended that immediate action be taken in the matter, and nothing has been done. The bridge is in such a bad condition that the county officials can not afford to take the chances. I have been assisted in making this examinations by two reputable engineers, and my report is based partially on what they believe about the matter. The county should proceed at once."

The item of flashlight reporting system for the police department was the object of attack by President Eversman of the police board and Fire Chief Miller. The former declared the system to be absolutely worthless as now arranged, but said the telephone company had again promised to place it in satisfactory condition. For several months the police department withheld a part of the rental for the flashlight system but finally paid it all over to the company when council decided that the system was satisfac tory. ENGLISH GUNS SMASH ATTACK EAST OF YPRES AMSTERDAM, Aug. 10. The heaviest fighting since the second battle of Ypres last spring, is now in progress in West Flanders. The roar of big guns on the Ypres-Dixmude line has been incessant since Sunday. Following a severe bombardment the Germans tried to attack all along the line, but the fire of the British, French and Belgian guns cut the Teutons' efforts short. Following the capture of 1,200 yards of trenches by the British in the vicinity of Hooge, east of Ypres, the Germans tried ineffectually to regain their lost grbund, using "asphyxiating fumes and heavy artillery.

Last year and the year before the question of building a Frierds' boarding house, or a guest house, was discussed and plans were formulated to organize it in the old business college building, which is now being razed. During the past year the property has been sold by the North A Street Friends' meeting and a motion introduced at the meeting this morning by E. K.

It is expected that when the committee makes the report.a live debate will result and the question postponed until more time has been given for a better consideration. No definite plan3 were presented and it has been left entirely in the hands of the committee.

Begging Pays; Man Gets $12 as Day's Wfge A professional beggar, a robust man, fully developed with the exception of one limb which was severed below the knee stepped out of a saloon, wiped his mouth and lighting a cigarette hobbled down the street until he came to a Main street furniture siore. There he threw away the cigarette and seating himself on the sidewalk with his hark aeainst the front wall of the store held out his hat to the passer-by. j In the hali-nour, rrom 11:30 o ciock until noon, he made twelve collections according to John Melpolder, secretary of the Central Charities bureau, who had followed him from the saloon and stood nearby watching. Previously he had telephoned the police that the beggar intended to violate the law. Mr. Melpolder estimated that if eachA of the collections made by the beggar was a live-cent piece, then he was receiving more than two cents a minute ACCOUNTANTS LAUD CONDITION OF BOOKS IN MAYOR'S OFFICE In a report on the examination of the records of the office of Mayor W. W. Bobbins of Richmond for .the period beginning January 5, 1914C'to December 31, 1915, J. W. King and L. F.

Wayne-Decatur traction line will be known August 12, rnd according to information received by the electric railways committee of the Commercial club, the company will undoubtedly be re-financed by some New York financiers and work begun on the construction of the line.
