oca WHEAT KEEPS PRICE LEVEL AT OPENING

CHICAGO, Aug. 1. Wheat at the lowest prices after the opening today was 1 cent below yesterday's close but sellings was met with buying orders from commission houses. Corn was lower and trading in oats was small. After the first break wheat rallied cents on scattered buying. General commission house selling depressed corn and local traders were bearlshingly inclined. December broke cents from yesterday's close but re-acted cents on coverings by 6horts. Buying support in oats was poor and the general commission house selling depressed prices cents at the start. Sentiment generally is bearish. Provisions were slightly stronger with good buyers for pork and ribs - with light offerings. The wheat market was a sensational one with September selling from 1.20V6 up to 1.244 and the De- ; cember from 1.23 to 1.26. There was small fractional declines from the best prices yet net advances were 5 , to 3 cents for the day. The unfavorable conditions in western Canada : was the principal bullish help at Chicago. Corn closed to lower and oats higher. Hog products were better all around.

NAMES COMMITTEE TO HELP ORGANIZE RAISING $100,000

First steps were taken towards the raising of the $100,000 for the Industrial Development association when L. S. Bowman, president of the Commercial club announced the members of the executive committee to have charge of the fund raising. f The following were appointed and all have accepted: L. E.' Iliff, Dudley Elmer, Chas. W. Jordan, Fred Bartel, George Ballinger. This committee will meet some time this week and appoint sub-committees. The active compaign will not be opened until September 1. Thetime between now and then will be spent in perfecting the campaign organization and in - laying plans. WITWEVER SEEKS DIVORCE. Because his wife forged checks on him and threatened to kill him because he objected, Wilbur I. Witwever filed suit for a divorce from Mary Witwever in the circuit court today. He asks for the custody of the two children, Robert, age 11, and Norma, age 2. They were married Nov. 29, 1904. CONFERENCE TO Continued from page One with formal ceremonies of turning on the city's new lighting system. Centennial pageant and celebration conducted by the public schools under the direction of the junior municipality. Exhibit of made in Richmond products. Exhibits of farm products. Carnival attractions. Merchant's openings and fashion shows. Features by Marx. Mr. Marx, Secretary Haas said, has achieved notable success with his attractions in every other Indiana city of any consequence. He gives a high class aeroplane exhibition and will agree to bring to the city standard carnival attractions. In addition he has manuscripts for pageants. In fact consideration is being given the plan of turning the whole celebration over to Mr. Marx, permitting him to assume the position of manager and pageant master. This will probably be done if acceptable terms can be agreed upon at the conference this week. . Arrange Night Pageant. The city light plant and the electrical firms, including, it is understood, the General Electric and the Westinghouse companies would arrange a night pageant to be featured with floats and electrical display. This pageant would move through the streets shortly after the current-had been turned into the new ornamental lighting system by Mayor Robbins. . The centennial observance would be incorporated into the pageant. The historical centennial observance would be arranged for an afternoon. The junior councilmen would be the committee in charge working in conjunction with Superintendent Giles and the Commercial club's representatives. ,Made-in-Richmond Feature. The Made-in-Richmond feature has proved a success at other festivals and would be one of the standing attractions. The latest suggestion, that of especial fashion displays by the merchants into which live models may be introduced, is receiving favorable comment and may be one of the features of the celebration which will attract women from a radius of fifty miles. Altogether the festival will be one of the most pretentious celebrations ever attempted by the Richmond Commercial club, the city and business men. 9 i -1 THREE "PATTERNS

TELEPHONE REPLACES TELEGRAPH SYSTEM

With the completion of the 'phone system connecting the CincinnatiRichmond division of the Pennsylvania another step in the elimination of the telegraph in favor of the telephone is recorded. The phone line between Richmond and Cincinnati has been practically completed and Richmond officials of the road announce that the new method will be in operation here within the next two months. .... The Grand Rapids-Richmond system which is now using the phone for its wire communication, reports the newer method more satisfactory than the old. . JAIL HOLDS FOURTEEN Fourteen people are now confined in-the Wayne county jail. All save one are serving sentences. Lewis Bartlett, Muncie, is awaiting trial on a charge of having committed. a statutory offence. Fifty-five people are now in the county infirmary.

Most of the people- at the poor farm are too old to work and have no means of supporting themselves. TONER IS SELECTED INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1. Edward! Toner, former Progressive state chairman, is named by the Republican chairman, Will H. Hays, as one of the. advisory committee of five, to serve during the life of the state committee.

EVANS ASKS $2,000 DAMAGES TO PROPERTY FROM SOUTH G BRIDGE

The first appeal from the awards of the Board of Public Works for the property damages caused by the opening of South G street from Fourth street to the west corporation line preparatory to the construction of the South G street bridge was filed in the circuit court today. It was filed by Jonathan C. Evans and Anna Evans. No date has. been set for trial but the appeal is expected to tie up the opening of the street for some time. The county commissioners cannot ask the county council for an appropriation for the South G street bridge until the street is opened. The appeal states that after the Board of Public Works had adopted resolutions for the opening of South G street, April 27, it awarded Mr. and Mrs. Evans $200 for damages to property which they own. The property in question is down in the hollow on the west river bank. The proposed bridge and street would go between the house and barn. Mr. and Mrs. Evans went before the Board of Works on July 10 and on CHANGES SIGNALS Failure of the arms of the traffic "stop and go" sign to clear north and south street cars, caused the signal to be discarded after a short trial yesterday. Chief Goodwin is having the arms replaced by a box arrangement which will enable the street cars to pass without striking them. The sides of the box will bear the words "Stop" and "Go."

Three were slated for murder, five for rioting, six for assault and battery, one for giving short weight. Other offenses were of a minor character.
