current year show that on only three occa-
sions have the monthly movements reached
as high as 100000 bales. These were in
October and November, 1880, and in Decem-
Der, 1887.
Northern spinners took during October

crcasing the +ocai since Sept. 1 to AS, C53,
ar"i1sI $4,000 last year, and 461, $50 the
year before. This makes their average
weekly takinss for the season 51,142 bales,
against 3s,2s3 last year, and SO. 1000
the year before. Foreign exports for two
months have been 1,241,576 showing
an excess over the heavy shipments last
season of IS, 1854, and over tho same period
year before last of 474,4o7. The gain in
foreign exports during October compared

October were 1855, 456, 765, OO3 the same date
last year, and s11,739 the year before. In

OF bales OF the current crop brought into

been 2,655,17O. against 1868, $50 last year,
and 2,135,e1O the year before. Up to this
date last year 31.46 per cent of the crop
had been marketed, and for September and
October OF 1888 the percentage of the crop
brought into sight was 1896. With all this
large amount to market, showing an excess
to date of 2S3. 100 over last season and 643,-
$50 over the season before last, the supply
has moved off SO rapidly to foreign and do

mand that Powers be declared governor.
They are getting very much excited and
declare that if Powers does not get a fair
show in Omaha, as they call it, they will
retaliate by passing statutory prohibition
in the coming session of the legislature. as
they claim they have the necessary two
thirds to pass it over the gubcrnatorial
veto. Revised returns from eighty-fve of
the eighty-nine counties give the following

$4,000 FOR A HEAD.
A Remarkable Incident in the Life OF Tom
Starr, the Indian Desperate.


ARDMoRE, I. T. Nov. 4.-The remarkable
career of old Tom Starr, the notorious
Cherokee desperado, which has lately an
peared in print, recalls an incident in his
life, the plafnest statement of which sounds
like romance. Bill West was old Toms
brother-in-law and the most powerful
man of his day in the Cherokee nation.
A blow from his fist was as deadly as a
Winchester bullet. With this formidable
weapon he killed several men and a law
was passed declaring Bills fist deadly
weapon. Old Tom and Bill had been close
companions, but one day they quarreled
over the division of the spoils of plumber
Ing expedition. West struck at Starr. but
the Willy savage lodged the blow and ut the
same time deftlv placed long, keen knife
blade between the formers ribs. This was
the tragic end of Bill West. At this time
there was reward Of $4,000 offered for
Vests head and $4,000 for that of Starr.
Old Tom was in need of ready cash and de-
ter1nined to run the risk of losing his own
head by trying to secure the reward on that
OF his brother-in-law. So, after killing
West. he cut of his head, put it in gunny
bag and proceeded to Tahlequah, the cap
ital where he presented his CORY charge to
the chief, with the proof that it was the
right head, and demanded the reward. Tho
chief and the treasurer are both old mon.
and they knew Old Toms reput alton. They
also knew that the reward of Vests head
was only $4,000, while that for Old Toms
was $1,000. But Starr was there himself,
and meant business. At the muzzle of a
six-shooter the treasurer 9forked over the;
$4,000, and Old Tom departed with the
money. to the delight and sstonishmentof
person.

year he receives the bare majority OF 9.
The state ticket goes republican. but the
democrats got all that is worth having on
the county ticket. The republican party is
badly broken up in the county. The past
campaign was characterized by an apathy
upon the part of the republican
leaders, while the democrats were at work
night and day. The credit for Delivers
small majority and for the generally unsat-
isfactory results all around is due to the
efforts of n number OF sore headed kckers
and disappointed office seekers in the repub-

sists of various warning elements. and until
the party is thoroughly organized and
