LOWER CLOSINGS DEALT WHOLE LIST Bearish Weather Reports Prevalent in Cereals and Absence of Support with Outside Liguidation B den to Provision Prices. CHICAGO, May 19.—Speculation in was lacking ir spirit today and resol fteelf into & _dull weather market. Local conditions prevafled in most of the ‘win ter wheat country and in the corn and oats regions, Prices declined generally, but a later improvement in export business brought a_slight reaction and July wheat closed only down, July corn W@%c fower and Jily oats e lower. Provis- lons closed a shade to loc down. Once more the outside interest kept out of the wheat market and thus brought eneral apathy among traders. All lish markets were closed because holldnye, ‘consequently, there were Do ca- bles to figure upon. 1In addition to the bearish feeling that would naturally re- sult from this dullness was the reports phowing good rains all over the winter Country and warm weather to help growth. Northwestern points reported more flood- ing rains in the spring country but the palueh infiuence of these adyices were oft- by the expectation that the fine Weather ‘conditions in winter wheat would more than make up the difference of late spring seeding. _Country offerings ~were increasing, S8t Louis getting about 100,- 000 bushels, mostly from Kansas. There mas & most bearish feeling prevalent in fhe wheat pit, but the trade Views on the relative merits of the July and September options.

SUPERIOR PLACE FOR OUTDOOR MEETINGS Board of Education Probably Will Make Up List of Janitors at Tonight's Meeting— Magie City Gossip. The improvements in contemplation for Syndicate park may place South Omaha in & position to make a bid fof all out-of-door meetings held in the county this summer. That Byndicate park is the most beautiful natural resort of its kind in the county goes undoubted, and the natural facilities on hand for the accommodation of large crowds adds to its attraction. It is the plan of the owners of this land, in bullding the boulevard through it, not to cut into the natural amphitheater in the center. Whenever public speaking has been held in this place the amphi- theater has been called Into requisition. It 1s nothing more than a deep cut in the surface, surrounded by hills. In the bot- tom of this “pit’ the speakers' stand has always been erected, while the people sat on the grassy banks of the incline, every- one in the audience having & perfect view of the speaker. It s eald that this place will be pro- vided with seats, and that & permanent platform will be erected at the bottom. In this way thousands of people could be ac- commodated at almost any entertainment. Owaers of property in this vicinity are also making preparations to beautify the neighborhood. As soon as the boulevard is completed and the road to Omaha is opened, Twentieth street, heretofore prac- tically unusued, will probably become the popular driveway of the town, while the opening of G and H strects will open the way to the river, which has heretofore been & complex proposition. In all of these preparations the citizens are taking the utmoet fnterest and doing everything within thelr power to push the work to completion. It the grading through the park is com- menced at the time the land company says it will be, by July 1, the park will be in complete order for any kind of a celebra- tion. Janitors on the Carpet. The janitors of the public schools of South Omaha will be on the carpet at the meeting of the Board of Education this evening. At the last meeting the board scemed content with its labors, after hay- ing agreed upon ninety-four of the teach- ers, and while the janitor proposition w: ralsed, still it was agreed that it had bet- ter go over until this evening. What will be done is easily guessed, from the expres- sions of the members of the board hereto- fore. If any of the old janitors are te- talned, the number will be extremely lim- ited. There are about ten teachers yet to be elected and the list will probably be filled tonight. The fight in prospect will probably draw out the same large crowd of ®spectators who were present at the meet« ing of the board on last Monday eveiing. Ci t Up on Work. The city council bas about caught up on its work and there is nothing of unusual Interest in prospect st the meeting this evening. The little speech of Councliman Adkins at last meeting regarding the abil- ity of the council to pay for sidewalk im- provements wil] probably h: the effect of stopping any advances along this line, 80, aside from the introduction of a few new ordinances and the reading and dfs- position of communioations, but little will be accomplished. Looking After Sidewalks. Street Commissioner Miller is dlligently investigating the condition of all of the sldewalks of the city and will make a sys- tematic search for all defects of streets and alleys which may the city to be sued for damage. He s that within the course of a month or two that it will re- quire several days’ search to find a place where a damage sult can grow out. Another Pontoon Outfit. The fallure of the South Omahg Pontoon PBridge and Ferry company to successtully operate a bridge and ferryboat across the river at the foot of N street has In no manner dismayed a few enthusiasts here, who clalm that they will soon organize another company and that a ferry will be operated within a very short time. Those who are promoting the affair say that they will go after it in a different manner than the defunct company did and that they feel assured of success. Prol ly Neo St t Fair, The business men of the city have not encouraged the efforts of the promoters of the proposed street fair in Bouth Omaba this fall, and as & resuit in all probability no entertainment of this kind will be given. The fair last year was a losing proposition for the bulk of them and they say that more than a year should 1 ne before talking up another one. Several, however, still insist that a s t falr should and will be held hére mext September. Magle City Goasip. Buggles on Payments. Culver-Co. A. R. Kelly returned yesterday from a trip to Montana. Scott Kenworthy was reported very much tmproved last evening. Several golf clubs will be organized in this city and match games galore are sald to be the probable result.

EPWORTH LEAGUE BIRTHDAY sation Celebrates Thire teenth Annive: A speclal service was held in the First Methodist Episcopel church Sunday evening in celebration of the thirteenth snniversary of the organization of the Epworth league. Besides the regular Sunday night congrega- tion about 160 leaguers were present. The service began in the basement lec~ ture room, where at 0:45 the leaguers gathered for worship.
