a MISSING BOY.

NEW YORK, May 24-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of 6-year-old
Artie Grubert, who has not been seen
since last Friday, has not yet been
fathomed. His father, q waiter in the
Sinclair house, has given up his work and
all his time is given now to finding his
child, dead or alive. Today he and his
wife's brother, Joseph NJ. Burke, a
plumber, whose shop is at 1853 Willis
avenue, spent the afternoon searching for
the body in the slip between Thirty sew
enth and Thirty-eighth streets in the East
river. This is where it is known that little
Artie went when he hurried away from his
dinner, and it was from the string piece of
the bulkhead between the piers that Nell
lie Crane told Mrs. Grubert her boy was
pushed Notwithstanding the denials
which have been made by all the children
who were at first so glib with information,
Mr.. and Mrs. Grubert are convinced that
there was truth in the original stories.
Dozens of children were playing
about the pier today. Between games
in the sand and going in swim
mining they watched the work of the men
with the grapple. None of them would
admit having seen the missing boy on Fri
day. HE was here de day before said
one, ''and he got in de water dar. He got
clothes on q wagon.
Mrs Grubert believes that she saw her
boys spirit on Friday evening. The Cru
berts' rooms are on the fourth floor of 331
East Thirty-ninth street.

steamer Cynthia Yesterday morning. is
moored at Aliens wharf here. She pre-

feet aft, is completely gone. The tide is

consisted of lard in barrels, has

attributed to her splendidly built iron
bulkheads. Just above the large gap IN
her side were embedded the boat davis OF
considerable time to repair the damage to
her, as the stern is mashed and the cargo
will have to be discharged and the vessel
placed in dock. The deputy port warden
has examined the vessel, but whatever
recommendations he has made have not
been given to the public. Captain Wylle
did not wish to make an extended state
ment, as all would be told when the
official investigation into the collision is
held He said, however. that upon meet
ting the Cynthia he blew the whistle
twice and backed his ship. he was on the
right side, SO much so that he could go no
further. The Cynthia tried to cross his
bow and that was the cause OF the col
lision.
At the time of the occident Capt. Wiley.
the first officer, and pilot were on the
bridge and all who were on deck at the
time state that they did their best to avoid
the collision.
The report sent from Montreal stated
that eight men lost their lives on the
Cynthia, but this number has been
reduced by at least one-Ja mes
Iowa quartermaster of the ill
fated steamer, who escaped death and got
on board the Polynesian in a most miracu-
lous manner. He stated that he was re-

O'Clock and went into his berth. While
there the crash came, and when the YES
sells closed for second time he crept
through the gap in his own vessel into

saved his life He states that the Cynthia S
crew consisted of thirty-fve men. besides
four stowaways, acrobats WHO were on
their way to Chicago. One of the poor

A LOT DECISION CAUSES TROUBLE.
GUTHRIE, Ok, May 4-The SOL
diers were yesterday called out
for the first time since the opening of Ok
lahoma and for several hours the city Of
Guthrie was practically under martial
law. The meetings which have been held
every night for a week by those who lost
their lots through contest and by the
opening of streets eliminated in a rioU
yesterday. One of the best lots in GUth-
RE was awarded by arbitration to a man
named Driscoll, of Chicago. An old man
man by the name of Deenier, of Kansas,
occupied the front of the same lot with a
tent. Driscoll erected building on roll
erS ready to shove it to the front as soon
rs Deenler should yacate. Recently
the council passed an ordinance en-
powering the marshal to eject every
person whose claim for lots had
been rejected by the arbitration board.
This proceeding would affect over a
thousand persons. The city government
made test case of the Driscole- Deenier
contest. The marshals proceeded to re-
move Deenier and his tent. Immediately
a mob of 1900 men collected and drove the
marshals away. The mob was about to
tackle the city hall when Captain Cav
anaugh arrived upon the scene and dis
persed them, after which the city author
tiles resumed the work of ejecting Deeuier
Deenier fought like a tiger and had to be
dragged from his tent to the street. Dris-
coils building was rolled forward
The mob attempted to tear the houses to
pieces. but this time the authorities were
able to repulse the angry men without aid
of soldiers. Last night the soldiers guard
ed the principal streets, and more trouble
is expected when the work of ejectment is
begun.

Cotton Cover for Cotton.

Some of the advantages of not u.s.
ing iute bagging for baling cotton are
stated as follows by a correspondent
writing from Boyhn's, S. G., to the
Charleston Neus and Courier:
I notice that Messrs. F. ". Wage
ner & CO. advise the cotton planters
to use jute bagging for covering their
cotton, and go on to show the differ
ence in the cost, etc., but it will be
noticed that they do net mention any
thing about the increased demand
that would be created for our inferior
grade OF cotton, which would tend to
enhance the value of the whole crop.
As the world requires about an aver
age crop, it is fair to presume that if
We can create a new demand the price
would be bettered, and the difference
in the cost of the two kinds Of bag
ging would be more than counter
acted.
It is estimated that it will require
about 125,000 bales to cover the pres
ent crop, which would amount iu
round numbers to about $4,000,000-
all of which would be kept at home
and give employment to many worthy
people. Aud how are we to know
that the prices of jute bagging will
not be raised from time to time; for,
unless We do something, the "Jute
Trust" may dictate terms and prices
hereafter as they have done hereto
fore. No, sir, it is now or never. If
we fail now it will be difficult to do
anything in this matter in the future.
We now have the sympathies of most
people. We are promised 81 per bale
more by our Southern factories for all
the cotton that they purchase that IS
covered with cotton, and the rate Of
insurance will be less, and I do not
think it unreasonable to expect re-
duction in the 'tare," Il. e,) due al
lowance for the difference in the
weights of the two coverings. Besides
the cotton covering will keep the cot
ton cleaner, and can be used for other
purposes after having been used for
coving bales of cotton.
I earnestly hope that my brother far
mers will continue, in this good work
so fairly begun, and which promises
so much for their benefit, and thus
show that we can pull together when
any party, parties, or ''trusts" COM
bine against US.
