Big Boom IN Cotton.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 1O.--There is a
large advance in the cotton-factory
stocks in Augusta. Some of the secur-
tiles have advanced as much as $50 a
share in the last two weeks. The big
boom in cotton, which is now bringing
remarkably large prices, is attributed
as the cause of the advance of stock,
because the high price value Of the
feecy staple has necessitated an in
crease in the price of the manufactured
goods. The Augusta factory stock has
jumped from 7515 to 81 and is still go
ing up. King and Sibiey stocks are
both up and very little is offered for
sale on the market.

"No Mans Land may be opened to imm,-
grafton within q short time" remarked A.
L. Hanna, of Dennison, Tex, while at the
Duquesne Hotel yesterday. Mr.. Hanna is
a prominent financial man ,at his Texas
home, and is the Secretary of the Texas I'm
migration Committee.
'This strip of territory" he continued,
(which for years past has borne the most
unsavory reputation of any part of the
United States, is tillable soil and would be
of considerable value and will undoubtedly
serve as great inducement to immigrants
The history of No Mans Land abounds
with tragical occurrences. It first became
notorious as the headquarters for the in
famous band of guerrillas under the cap
taincy Of Colonel Quantrel. On account of
the great distance the territory was from
civilized community, its distance from q
military fort and the neglect of all authori-
ties to the territory, it gradually became q
safe harbor for cattle thieves, outlaws and
other disreputables, who gradually filled it
up, and the guerrilla chief heard Of it and
harbored his cut-throats there. That was
during the war, and as Quantrel's presence
was SO communicating and baneful the strip
was Stunned by everyone who made any pre-
tense to decency or lawfulness. After the
war the Fort Dodge bandits made their re-
treat In No Mans Land and spread conster-
nation among cattle owners and ranchmen of
the neighboring States. No ones life, who
had not ono or more awful crimes to his
record, was of any consequence. Murder
was not even cloaked, and the most astound-
ing crimes were committed without the
slightest remark being made about them.
I'm later years the Jesse James gang of
bandits retreated to No Mans Land, and
again were graveyards filled with people
whose only crimes was the possession of q
little money. But now affairs are different,
the gradual approach of habitation to its
borders has thrown a better atmosphere
about the territory, and the men there are
less lawless than formerly

The typhus fever has to certain extent
subsided, but the report has Just been re-
ceived here that the Asiatic cholera, which
has been ravagiDg Persia, is steadily march

and that it is already at the mouth of the
Volga at Astrakhan. The fright here re-

its way northward, as 1t in all probability
will, the horrors of the last winter will be

Not Strong Enough to Fight Cholera.
These millions, who have been half
starved for months, are not in condition
to fight with disease, and the cholera can
bring but one result-the death of millions.
The authorities are doing all they can to
prevent such terrible disaster, but the
trade of Volga is so great and its travel so
immense that it is hard to see how they can
succeed.

All through the summer Of 81 the three
Cooleys and Jack Ramsey lived in the

plans and completed the organization of the
outlaw band. In September the marauders
began active work. They committed all

and in less than month had succeeded In
making the name of Cooley familiar to
every law-fearing citizen in West

the gang increased its numbers grew
with alarming rapidity. Every tough

charmed circle of the Cooleys. But ma

shrewd enough to know that it was less
difficult to handle dozen men than it was

politely declined to increase the pumerjcaI

shrewdness all his own, picked out baker, s

Jealousy Causes Terrible Tragedy In IN
Aristocratic Russian Ballroom.
MOSCOW, Aug. 6.--At a grand ball ar
ranged by the officers corps of the Cars
Body Hussars, held here last night at the
Casino, First Lieutenant Iven Rattovitch
suddenly stepped into the middle Of the
room, drew pistol from his dolman, took
deliberate aim and shot Prince Nicholas
Sussloviteh, brother officer, who was
waltzing with the Heutenant's afianced.
The Prince, who received the bullet in his
heart, fell dead, dragging his partner with
him to the floor. The assassin, amid the
widest excitement, stepped over the body
of his comrads, raised the head of his at
fianced by elutching her hair, and then
blew bis own brains out.
All this happened in less than 80 Sec
onds So quickly were the shots fired that
interference was impossible. The cries of
the terrified women FIRST gave the alarm to
those in other parts of the hall. The young
lady who was dragged from the grip of her
murdered partner is now lying at the point
of death. The deed has created the widest
excitement in Russian upper circles, where
all parties concerned are well known. The
Caar has ordered special report to be for
warded to him by telegram. The murdered
Prince had been warned beforehand by Rat
toviteh not to attempt dancing with the lat
ter's intended.

receiving heaps of threatening letters, and
Colonel Goldsmid was obliged to ask for po-
