TWO GAME WOMEN.
By Good Judgment and Nerve Prevent the
Kidnapping Of a Child

WEATHERFoRD, Tex, April 49,
The neighborhood around the corner
of North Main and Sewers streets
was thrown into fever of excitement
yesterday shortly after noon by the
piercing screams of two ladies and
the frantic efforts of a child crying
for it's mamma and struggling for re-
lease from "a mans arms. Mrs. Jen-
ME We'll and her sister Miss Laura
Mulkins were returning from Easter
service at the Episcopal church, walk
ing slowly along, having between
them Mrs. Wells four year old daugh.
ter Nellie, an exceptional beauty.
When they reached the point just
described which is about 200 yards
North of the railroad and on the main
thoroughfare of the city some one
approached from behind, snatched the
little girl and madesall haste to reach
a ready waiting buggy secreted by a
bunch of trees and in deep ravine on
Powers street and only few feet from
Main, closely pursued by Mrs. We'll
and Miss Mulkins, crying out at the
top of their voices, CIVILIANS! Villains!
Give back my child! Help! Help!
Some one save my child" He reached
the buggy in safety, quickly throw
ing the child to party in waiting,
who was not able to hold the same
from the fury of the mothers despera-
ton. She grabbed and tore her from
him, while her sister choked the
wheels of the buggy by her inspiration
and main strength. The two women
clearly outdid the two men who were
masked and made away as fast as the
horses speed would take them, one
cursing the other for being foiled in
the attempt. Mrs. We'll said she rec
ognized both parties under disguise
one of whom was her husband, di-
vorce from whom, as well as the GUS
tody of the child, she applied for June
Z, 1891. She considered it dastardly,
outrag eous proceeding in broad open
daylight for them to try and steal her
child. She was too badly frightened
to know whether anyone had at
tempted to come in response to her
cry for help.

MEXICO.
ELECTORAL CONVENTION.

ELECTORAL CONVENTION.
CITY OFF MEXIoo, April 1S.-The ma
tional electoral convention of the Lib
eral party held its second session on
the night of the 10th inst.S in the hall
of the chamber of deputies. 1T was a
very large attendance, including
many principal statesmen and mill
tary officials of the republic. General
Escabedo was elected president of the
convention and Senior Pinda vice pres
ident. The state of Nuevo Leon is the
only one not represented. The Gre
dentials of representatives from the
state of Hidalgo were declared to be
irregular, and the right to seatsin the
convention of delegates from the states
of Morales, Queretaro and TamaGlipas
was held in allegiance, pending the re-
ceipt of further credentials. The
greatest enthusiasm was shown in
favor of the reelection of Diaz, and it
is considered his selection will be
made by unanimous vote.

Soap

1t is a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No harm! It leaves the
skin soft like a baby's; no
alkali in it, nothing but soap.
The harm is done by al
kali. Still more harm is done
by not washing. So, bad
soap is better than none.
WHAT'S bad soap? Imper-
fectly made; the fat and al
kali not well balanced or not
combined.
What is good soap?
Pears.
All sorts of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
ofpeople use it.

COTTON CIRCULAR.
Atwood Violet & Co. on the Condition Of
tho Market.

the Market.
NEW ORLEANS, La, April 1S.-At-
wood Violet & Co. say:
Futures-A few figures we have
l'already presented to some Of our read
ers we beg to give herewith: The
census acreage in 1879-S0 was 14,0oC
600 and the cotton crop that year was
5,750,000 bales. The census acreage OF
18S8-90 as recently reported was 49,
$4,000, but it is only fair to assume
that this last crop represents an
acreage Of 20, 100000 or 100000 larger.
The general information received
here and our own letters point to a
reduction of 25 per cent in acreage. 1t
is easy to make an estimate of that
nature. But when lit is
shown what such an estimate
would mean in a probable
crop there are many who may modify
their ideas. Now % per cent means
25, OOO, 600 acres, and therefore the crop
of 1893 must be grown on Is, 900, 900
acres, because if IA, 100000 acres pro-
duced 5,75O, 900 bales, 15,OOO,00O acres
would produce $3.50, 600. A maximum
of such crop, in our opinion, is only
possible, through some general disas-
ter, and not through reduced acreage.
The question of acreage settled, we
have still the perplexiNg one of price,
and we have been afraid of bad trade
in Europe the whole season, and we
have not taken the bull side of cotton
permanently on account of that
particular bearish facter and ia view
of the private reports above men
toned about acreage it seems to us
that to be consistent the same reports
must have been sent to Bradstreet's
whose report will be issued May l,
and to the agricultural keauro its re-
port to be issUed May 10 and relying
upon such information, we would
think those two reports would indi-
cate such loss in lands under culti-
walton as will create better market.
What the world will think, how
ever, and whether there will be any
permanent advance will be settled by
the shorts and longs later on. At the
moment there is more disposition to
buy than to sell, the improvement
here being and in New York points.
Our estimate of the amount to come
into sight last week would have been
very nearly right but for corrections
which could not be foreseen. The
amount is $4,000 against $4,000 last
year and $4,000 the year before. The
total eXcese over last year is now |
408, 900, and the total amount in sight
since the 1st of September is
8,494 600. /
Port receipts today are 5000, against
1900 last year, and the estimate here
for tomorrow is $500, against 10000 at
all ports last year.
Spots closed firm; sales 1000 bales,
including 1000 sold Saturday after
hours. Quotations unchanged.
f. O. b.-Sales so bales; offerings and
demand light; little doing on account
of high prices asked.
