Chicag" Board Of Trade.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. pa panic
on the Chicago Board of Trade was
witnessed today, more extraordinary
than anything possible from causes
merely financial. Nearly 1000 peo-
pie, brokers and spectat ors, men and
women, were held helpless with
terror for moments that seemed an
age, by maniac sending death into
their midst. Cassius Belding poor
ly dressed and incoherent sign pain
ter, stood in the south entry as the
main trading room and deliberately
discharged bullet after bullet from
a pistol into the crowded pits into
the throngs of Worlds fair sight
seers in the surrounding galleries.
Three persons were unable to Olsen
gage themselves from the confused
mass INTO which all were thrown in
time to save themselves from the
flying bullets These were:
A. Nj. Bennett, Board of Trade
broker, shot through the neck.
Charles W. Roswell, assistant
chief operator of the Board of Trade
telegraph, jaw broken by bullet.
Mrs. w. W. Lewis of Titusville,
Pa, Worlds fair visitor, flesh wound

The first warning the brokers was
the cry of a woman who was seated
near the maniac. All eyes We're at
tracted by the noise. the hubbub of
the traders ceased. aud in an instant
the shooting began. Every one
scrambled for the shelter of bulletin
boards and ante rooms, aud the
crowds seemed for the time more

Cotton Still Decl ming.

When it was fully realized by the
best informed statisticans in America
and Europe that the cotton crop of 1892
was the smallest that had been raised
in years. the staple commenced advan-
cling, and it was at once predicted that
it would reach from twelve to fifteen
cents. When at the highest point it
was difficult for holders to turn loose,
SO certain were they that it would re-
cover.
About this time the discussion OF the
Hatch bill, in and out of Congress. and
the serious strike at Worcestershire
England, served as an excuse for the
continued downward tendency. Both
these causes have ceased to exist, yet
the fleecy staple week by week is quo
ted lower.
. While conventions have been held in
different localities in the cotton grow
ing States with view of reducing the
acreage. the best informed planters
think that the reduction will not be
great.
Planting is now progressing, and it
is not too late to largely increase food
crops and reduce cotton fields.
The great number OF journals devo-
ted exclusively to farming and stock
raising, both North and South. urge
that the smoke house and barn should
be filed from the yield OF the farm,
and that the result will be success and
independence. Clarion Ledger.

When the women first pledged them

compromise could be made. That the

must be settled right. And the pledge
which they adopted is the one all take
