ocal WHEAT PRICE HIGHER ON CROP REPORTS CHICAGO, Aug. 2. Heavy buying by big firms started wheat off with a bulge of 2 cents over yesterday's close. This combined with a realization of the serious condition on in the northwest kept the market strong but at the high prices local traders took profits. Commission house reports .de clare there is no exaggeration in the extent of the damage in the northwest but others point out. that wheat has advanced from 1.06 on June 8 to almost twenty cents and this advance they declare discounts what is expected to be bullish government reports. Wheat strength combined with weak reports and commission house buying orders sent corn prices up to ""cents. It was pretty much a weather '. mark. Oats prices were up M to 1-cents on scattered commission house buying and hedging, i: Provisions were weaker and lower. '." September weat today scored a senT rational advance over yesterday's close following heavy foreign buying " and reports of damage to the Canadian ; crop.

The purpose of the registration law is to require the attending physician to notify the state board of health of each case of tuberculosis MEN! GET IN LINE CEDAR POINT. Ohio. Aug. 2.

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH LAUDS THE REV. I. M, HUGHES

Resolutions adopted by the Second Presbyterian church and Sabbath school on the death of Rev." I. M. Hughes follow: Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom has called from labor to reward our highly esteemed friend and spiritual adviser, Rev. Isaac M. Hughes, pastor emeritus, from our parent First Presbyterian church of Richmond, Indiana, and, whereas in his death our city has lost a Christian minister of unusual wide influence; the church, a valued adviser; the Ministerial association, a wise counselor; as he was the most faithful and conscientious in the discharge of all his duties to his Master. A memorial volume instead of these few imperfect sentences, would be necessary to portray his remarkable work and worth to the whole community. Dr. Hughes was a man of keen perception, scholarly attainments, refined sensibility, heroic courage, and patient in suffering. We cannot too highly idealize his character. His Christly bearing in the pulpit, his home and the surrounding country, won for him the esteem and love of I citizens of every class, so that far nd near he was known as a man of God. His active service in the min-

within five days after it has come to his notice. The work of fighting tuberculosis is greatly helped, Mr. Strawson says, where a case is reported in its earliest stages. In the report of the legislative committee of the society, the Indiana law giving county boards of education the authority to establish open air schools, was commended as adequate for present needs. The education of parents to a realization of how much safer their children are in open air schoolrooms is all that is necessary to start a development of out-door schools, the report said.

SAY DEUTSGHLAND WILL SLIP TO SEA WHEN NIGHT FALLS NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 2. That the submarine Deutschlahd outward bound Baltimore to Bremen, will remain secluded in lower Chesepeake bay until she can commence her run in the deep waters of the Atlantic in the night was the opinion gaining strength here this afternoon. The wasp has not reported since shortly before, noon, when she was moving slowly southward along the shores of the Maryland penninsula. She was then reported to be testing her apparatus. Members of the Virginia Pilots association say they expect the Deutschland to disappear tonight. RLUSKING BRIDE BECOMES RATTLED It was impossible for a young bride who applied at the county clerk's office yesterday for a marriage license to remember the date of her birthday. She remembered how old she was and the month that her birthday came in, but the number escaped her. The license was issued when she promised to telephone the exact date. Instances of this kind are common occurrances at the clerk's office. All brides and grooms are more or less nervous. It is not an uncommon thing for both to forget their mother's maiden names. Often times when they go to sign their names they wil lwrite the names of the towns from which they come or the firm for which they have been working. Recently a girl-signed her name Mary Milton and another signed her name as the Westcott Motor Car company. CLUB TO OUTLINE FESTIVAL PROGRAM Beyond outlining the plans for the Commercial club fall festival and centennial celebration as described yesterday, no definite action was taken at the conference yesterday afternoon between E. M. Haas, secretary of the club, and Lewis Iliff, chairman of the publicity committee. A conference will be held with Mr. Marx, festival promotor probably Friday night. W. C. T. U. WILL MEET The regular business meeting of the West Richmond W. C. T. U. will be held at the Friends church Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. DISCUSS LAND SALE. COPENHAGEN, Aug., 2. The Danish Richstag will meet in secret session Friday to discusse the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States. HILL DEED RECORDED. A deed was recorded today for the transfer of the property of the E. G. Hill Florist company to the Joseph H. Hill company. The property sold for $3,500. FINED FOR CONTEMPT. EATON, O., Aug. 2. Fine of $25 and costs was assessed Arthur D. Fara when arraigned in common pleas court on a contempt charge. When his wife, Dorothy Fara, instituted divorce proceedings, the courtg ranted an order restraining him from molesting or annoying her. His failure to comply brought down the fine. istry in our city occupied a period ui liuruy-iour years, ne a uuuuiably retired about twelve years ago, by reason of failing health,, but. was always appealed to for wisdom and guidance on deep subjects. To hundreds of families he has been a solace in their day of deep sadness, to scores he has brightened their hearts by his advice and cheer in pointing them to his Christ. . Be it resolved, that in Dr. Hughes' death the Second Presbyterian church has met with a heavy loss, as we can never again have him with us only in remembrance, but we- will bow to the will of God who knows best and has called our friend to his reward, saying: "Servant of God, well done. Thy glorious warfare is past. You have fought a good fight. You have finished your course. You have kept the faith. Come and receive the crown." That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the widow, and a copy be spread on the , church records. Signed, J. R. HOWES, J. H. BAKER, v A. A. MUMBOWER.
