Manchester Oct. l7-The Guardian
in its article says: The market has
been influenced by a rumor from Liv-
cotton crop has been reduced TO 9,Ooo,-
600 bales for the reason that Il is un-
profitable to pick more at the present
low rates. Although this is not gener-
ally regarded as serious. some dealers
covered their shorts and Others anx-
ious TO catch the bottom price, bought.
The market was steady, but lacking in
energy. Producers who were recently
selling freely. have sometimes refused
the current prices. preferrlng to wait,
but the important markets are not
sanguine, not being able 10 see where
the long buying Is to come from.
The cloth sales have been small, but
at s.eadier prices, and there has been
an average business.

The DESERTED CITY AFFORDS AN
OTHER DIsPLAY.-Probably the grand.
est spectacle connected with the Chi.
cago Exposition, occurred after the big
show had closed, and desolation had
begun its reign in the White City.
This occurred on the 10th instant
when several of the immense buildings
went up in smoke. The Peristyle, the
Casino, the Liberal Arts building and
Music Hall were wholly consumed
and the Manufacturers Building is
quite as much of ruin from water as
fire. 1t is thought that the fire was
set by tramps who had been elected
from one of the buildings. Some oil
the foreign nations claim indemnity
for damages to their exhibits, which
were awaiting release from bond. The
burning buildings attracted an i'm.
mense crowd from the city, and the
sight presented is said to have been
grander than any of the displays OF
the fair.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A CAsYIEl

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A CASHIER.
-Chas. F. Russell, the cashier of the
First National Bank of Spokane,
created sensation by an attempt to
take his life, a few days ago. The
condition Of the bank was under inves-
tigation by Bank Examiner Clary, vino
had discovered some discrepancies in
the accounts, and it was when Russell
had been notified to meet the Presi-
dent of the bank and the Examiner to
explain matters that he disappeared,
and with him apparently $1,000 of
cash. 1t was thought at first that it
was plain case of defalcation, but on
inquiry it was found that he had not
left by any of the ordinary means OF
travel. At last some of his friends
thought Of searching for him in the
lodge room of Fraternity block, OF
which he had a key, and where he
sometimes passed his spare time. On
entering the room, Russell was found
standing in corner of the ante-room,
In a dazed condition, evidently under
the influence of some powerful drug.
Physicians were summoned, and after
q protracted course of treatment he
was declared out OF danger. At last
accounts he was in fair way of recov.

which prompted such strange pro-
Ceeding.

$2S5.OOO

Total $2S5.0OO s1S,5l2
This makes total Indebtedness of
s2S5, 900 with $lS,5l2 interest to pro-
vide for in addition to the current ex-
penses of the year.
The low assessment of 1892 placed the
debt so close to the limit fixed by law
that it was necessary to exercise great
care to keep the warrants issued within
the limit. The low assessment of 1898
will render the same care necessary.
In addition to this state of affairs, but
about rs per cent. of the taxes of 1892
were paid, so that instead of the warrant
Indebtedness having been decreased it
has been materially increased, conse.
Quently increasing the interest to he
paid.
To meet this increasing expense the
board has endeavored to cut off all I'M
necessary expense, reducing the forces
in the county offices; discharging the
poor commissioner, decreasing their
own pay, providing for the cheaper
maintenance Of the poor, in all reducing
expenses SO that they will be at least
$40, 600 less than last year.
The following financial statements
show the exact cost of maintaining each
department. the present Indebtedness of
the county, the county's resources and
such other information as will be of
public interest:
There have been issued during the
year the total number of 1893 warrants,
aggregating $S5, 1921. This amount is
divided among the various funds as fol-
lows.

THE COLUMBIAN POSTAGE STAMPS

THE COLUMBIAN POSTAGE STAMPS
This unpopular device of old Wanna
to commemorate an epoch in our ma
tional history, will soon be among the
things that were, except those that
are kept by collectors and are valued
for more than their intrinsic value.
Postmaster General Bissell has Just
given his last order under the contract
for 2,OO0,OOO,OOO. 1t is for 165, OOO,.
600, and circular has been issued to
the postmasters, with instructions that
all requirements will be filled with
that issue exclusively, and they must
be sold before other stamps are fur
nished. This supply Of the big
Columbiads," as they are called in the
Department, will not last long, as the
firm that found it inconvenient to lick
SO large surface has gone out OF bus
mess.
