PEACE TALK SENDS CORN PRICES DOWN

CHICAGO, May 1. Fresh intimations of a peace offer forthcoming gave new impetus today to the downward tendency of the corn market. Favorable weather for planting counted also as a bearish influence. Trade, though, lacked volume. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to l-4c up with May 127 1-4 and July 148 1-4 to 148 3-4, were followed by a material setback, but then something of a rally. Oats, like corn, responded to peace talk and to excellent field conditions. Besides, no evidence appeared of any pressing demand from the cast. After opening 1-8 off to 1-8 to l-4c up, with July 71 5-8 to 71 3-4c, prices fell sharply and later recovered. Provisions hardened on account of May deliveries of lard having passed into strong hands. More over, hog packing for the week in the west was reported to be light.

FRENCH AMUSED BY HUN STORIES OF BOMBARDMENT

Damage Caused Is Insignificant in Proportion to Mirth Provoked. (By Associated Press) PARIS, May 1. The damage caused in the Paris district by shells from the long range gun has been insignificant in proportion to the mirth rrovoked by German newspaper accounts, giving lurid accounts of the damage, panic and consternation in the French capital since the bombardment began. One German paper says great numbers of dead are buried at night; that the people of Paris take their breakfast and luncheon in their cellars; and that all those who can leave the stricken city are hastening to a safe distance. Another says that in the high tension of nerves resulting from the havoc caused, the common peopple, "who are unable to leave the city," are bringing about trouble that amounts to riots after each unfavorable communique from the fighting front. Tho situation in Paris has been described fully by cable. No disorder of any kind has occurred and instead of consternation there reigns perfect tranquility. No one pays further attention to the long range gun than to speculate after each explosion as to where the shell fell. Most of the shells fall in the soft earth of the country districts. A few of the shells that have reached settled portions of the entrenched camp of Paris have done astonishingly little harm. Even the shell that went into a church on Good Friday, killed no one, the casualties resulting from the caving in of the arches. . Had the shell had not happened to strike a pillar supporting the ceiling, few if any, of the congregation would have been hurt. Shells have fallen within ten to thirty feet of buildings, without doing more damage than breaking windows. No doubt a great many of the children of Paris will be taken to southern Fiance for the summer vacation, but it is only because of the difficulty of keeping the littles ones off the street where a stray shell splinter is likely to reach them. The children themselves are as little moved by the bombardment as were those of 1814, who played with the cannon balls the allies of that day fired into the capital and as were those of 1870, who were Just as fearless. The game of war goes on in all the public gardens and miniature trenches are being dug in every sand heap with the same zest as before. When an explosion is heard, the children look up from their occupations, place a thumb to the nose and express in characteristic French fashion their supreme contempt for the phenominal car.non.

Drafting of Irish Is Again Postponed

I LONDON, May 1. An order in coun

cil nas ueen issued iuriner postponing operations of the national service act, or conscription, as respects Ireland beyond May 1, to which it had been postponed previously. Some of the morning newspapers say the postponement is due to the government's wish to introduce a home rule bill and to see what measure of success it gets before

proceeding to enforce conscription in

Ireland, which, it is said in some quarters is not likely to be attempted in the next few weeks. Opinion in the lobbies of parliament is that a home rule bill will be presented in the house of commons next week, but the difficulties of drafting it have not been overcome entirely.

(By Associated Press.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 1 A single earth tremor felt throughout the Imperial valley in southern Cali

last night caused only slight damage at various points which had reported early today. The shock appeared to have been most severe at El Centro, which' i3 across the San Jacinto mountain rango from San Jacinto and Hemet, which was seriously damaged by an earthquake, April 21 and which has experienced recurring shocks of slighter intensity almost daily since. Reports from San Jacinto and Hemet indicated no shocks were felt there. At El Centro a crowd attending a lecture in a large tent was thrown into a near panic and guests at one of the hotels rushed out of the building, some escaping in night clothing by way of fire escapes. No property damage was reported. At Calexico, plate glass windows in a building under construction were cracked and goods were jarred from shelves in a grocery. At Yuma, Ariz., and throughout the valley, houses were shaken and people awakened from their sleep, but no damage was reported there. Brawley and Imperial Valley were slightly shaken, but no damage was done.

People with bad backs and weak kidneys are ait to feel old at sixty. Many old folks say Doan's Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's a Richmond case: Mrs. Jane Cooper, 916 North Twelfth street, gave the following statement in September, 1915: "I have used Doan's Kidney -Pills off and on for years and have never found another medicine that has done me so much good. My back has always given me the most trouble; it would ache. and be stiff and sore. My kidneys acted irregularly and I had dizzy spells and headaches. Every time I have had those rpells I have used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Quigley's Drug Store, and they have never failed to relieve me. There is nothing better for the kndneys." On November 22, 1917 Mrs. Cooper said: "Occasional use of Doan's Kidney Pills keeps my kidneys in good shape. I know there is nothing bettt.V for kidney compiaint." 60c. at all dealers.
