: 1 ocm BEARS CONTINUE TO RULE TRADE 6'3 CHICAGO, July 19. Despite continued reports of black rust In the northwestern wheat fields the bears seemed to have the best of the situation In the wheat pit today. . July wheat which opened at $1.10. cold off to $1.10 Vi on selling orders and reports of rain and better weather in the western Kansas field. Corn, too, showed a decline on better weather reports, and oats which opened at 75 declined in the first half hour to 74 on heavy selling. Cables from Europe indicating a scarcity of freighters, were used by the element among the traders as an argument for further selling, and many houses declined to take any particular interest in the black rust reports, the general attitude being one of waiting to see what may develop.

WRITES ARTICLE ON DUAL TRAGEDY

The following has, been submitted by Thimothy Nicholson: In the editorial of The Palladium in a recent issue ia the fellowing: "The lives of two patrolmen conspicuous for their ability and their high sense of duty were snuff ed out early this morning by a liciuer-erazed man. The whole eity ras staggered by the report and today is lamenting the death of two brave men and cogitating the cause of the tragedy:" How admirably fitting is the term cogitating the cause; not cogitating to find out the cause, for this was distinctly stated in the first sentence; but reflecting upon, considering the cause and without doubt the great majority of our citizens were indignant with the feeling that the cause should be removed to prevent similar tragedies in the future and could there have been an election last week, the vote would have been overwhelming to banish from our fair city all liquor saloons. We had the opportunity to do this two years ago, and every man who voted to retain these body and soul destroying places is partially responsible not only for this tragedy, but also for other murders, assaults, wifebeatings, many divorces and numerous other crimes and misdemeanors occasioned by persons when under the influence of intoxicating liquors furnished by these saloons, and if Bennett Gordon's conscience is not completely seared he must feel compunction for his 6hameful vaporings and outrageous assertions and misleading statements which deceived so many in that campaign. When we consider these fearfully distressing things we may well cry out with the Psalmist: "O, Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph and the workers of iniquity boast themselves." WOMEN GET THIS! IT REQUIRES 4,000 FLIES FOR ONE PiNT The question, how many flies to a pint, has at last been answered, officially. "There are approximately 4,000 flies to a pint," Marketmaster George McKinley announced today. During a lull in his duties yesterday, McKinley emptied the big fly trap, securing from it thirty-five pints filled with dead pests. "I counted the number in the first pint just to satisfy my own curiosity," he said today. "If there were several hundred of these traps placed in every section of the city it would not be long before flies would be very scarce In Richmond." 1$ y DISTRESS CALL. ' Mr. Bugge Hey! Wife! Unlock the door. Want to keep me out ai tstjht? JUST AHEAD. The fellow asked her for a kiss, The damsel acted shy; He quite provokod the miaa, . He asked, but didn't try.

The efficiency of the Palladium's elreuiation is aptly Illustrated in the case ef an orphaned and lonesome' soidier ef the Seventh New York infantry j. j. O'Sulllvan, now on duty at K'cCallen, Texas, who wrete to ftlayor Rabbins ef this city recently . asking If some Richmond people would not correspond with him so that he "would get letters like my comrades do." Mayer Rebblns turned over this ietter to the newspapers for publication. Today the mayor received another . communclation from Private O'Sullivan in which he states he has received letters from all over4 Indiana and heighbornlng states, giving The Palladium particular credit for the wholesale responses to his request for correspondents. The letter reads; Appreciates Kindness. "It was very kind cf you Indeed to have given my fetter to The Palladium (and other papers) as the good people of your city have certainly done themselves proud. I never realized a community could be so patriotic for it is a deep form of patriotism to try to cheer uo the boys at the front and one, In my case at least, Which has been genuinely appreciated. "You would be surprised at the circulation the papers of your city have, for tetters have been received by me from all through the state and even in neighboring POSTAL EMPLOYES BACK PENROSE BILL Organizations of post office employes are preparing to enter In on extensive campaigns to advertise the Penrose bill, providing for extended leave of absence to the superannuated employes in the Postal service. Local men will use every effort to educate people of the community as to the justness of the bill and then will ask these people to use their influence with the congressman and senators who represent them. This is a part of the general campaign. The bill provides that beginning the first day of July next following the passage of the act that the Postmaster General shall grant an indefinite leave of absence, togeuier with an allowance of $600 per annum to any person employed in the Railway mail service, the rural free delivery and the city free delivery service, and to post office clerks and other employes in post offices who are in the classified civil service who have been incapacitated for performing their duties on account of old age or other infirmity. SET SUIT FOR $168 The trial of the Havens and Geddis company vs. Bernard L. Lichtenstadt, operator of the Hub, at Hagerstown, has been set in the circuit court for next Saturday morning. The complaint says that Lichenstadt purchased goods in various orders from the company amounting to $1G8.10 for which he has not paid. Lichenstadt. in the answer which has been filed denies every material allegation in the complaint. COEB ISSUES BULLETIN IN JACKSON COUNTY A. D. Cobb, formerly county agent for Wayne county, who now holds a similar position in Jackson county, is issuing a monthly bulletin on crop conditions and other news of interest to farmers. These bulletins keep the agriculturalists in touch with each other and also affords a medium of exchange of stock. Mr. Cobb has built up a strong organization of farmers which is co-operating enthusiastically with him. AVERAGE CANADIAN PREFERS NEUTRALITY According to Paul Weisbrod, a local boy, located in Canada for the last frmr years, the king's trouble with the kaiser is only the least of the Canadians' worries. Weisbrod, who for many years was an employe of the Starr piano plant here, has been visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hehry Weisbrod, South Fifteenth street. "The average Canadian, that is, of the interior provinces, is like the American," says Weisbrod. "He is perfectly neutral." FLAGS DISAPPEARING FROM PUBLIC PLACES The flags are gone! Two weeks ago the city was decked with the national colors. An appeal had been sounded for a display of the flag to show the world that Richmond responded to the loyalty of the National Guardsmen who were being hurried to the Mexican frontier. Today few flags are on display. Few persons have noticed it, but they are wondering why the flags have been withdrawn, They are asking: "Is patriotism here of the fleeting kind?" HOT WEATHER DRIVES DORM MEN TO ROOF Hot weather has again converted the roof of .the Y, M. C. A. into improvised sleeping quarters. High above the heated pavements the dormitory inmates take their bed clothing up the wing stairs to the flat roof, where they are cooled by the night air and showered with soot from the Pennsylvania yards. R. E. Hoover, Willard Jessup, Nathan Siegle and Fred Romey are among those who make the nightly pilgrimage on high. PROPERTY SALE ALLOWED. A petition to sell the personal property of the late Angeline B. Seaney at a private sale was granted by Judge Fox this morning. The property is valued at $400 and consists of farm products such as hogs and grains in the fields.

BLICKWEDEL SLIGHTS PARLIAMENTARY LAW Adolph Blickwedel tried to resign his position as director of the custodian of the South Side Improvement association grounds last night, but the board decided that he was too good a boss to let go. 'A motion was proposed and seconded that Blickwedel keep charge, but that the janitor be required to turn in an itemized statement of all time spent. Adolph objected, and then another motion was proposed and seconded that the property committee have charge. Adolph is chairman of the property committee and this would still leave him the responsibility. Again the president raised a howl. Finally a motion was proposed to leave the mater in the hands of the property committee to decide upon some plan which would relieve Blickwedel of his charge. "Those are my sentiments exactly," said Adolph, and he immediately called for a vote, forgetting everything about the two previous motions which were before the house. And nobody reminded him of his mistake.
