CURING a rUNCTURED TIRE

A cleyer Portland (Ore.) man has
discovered what he considers a
positive preventive to leaks 10 hose.
pipe tires, which he is perfectly
willing those who have that sort Of
tires may use, and there will be no
royalty to pay. He says he had a
great deal of trouble with punctur.
es and leaks, until he was almost
persuaded to throw his wheel away.
FINALLY he procured some very
thlcK molasses, which he heated so
II would run easily, and poured a
lot OF The stuff into the tire through
The valve stem. When he thought
he had enough in to cover the in
sue OF the tire, he shut 1t off.
when the molasses assumed a
thlck condition, 1T formed a sort of
stlcky paste around the inside of
the tire. He then found it lmpossi.
pie 10 puncture the tire so it would
leak. Mr.. Bilger does not give his

THE BALLOT.

In our nation every voter Is
ruler, and every voter should seek
to know what is right and then dare
to do it. The ballot is not only a
privilege, it is solemn trust, aud
the man who does not use it, or
who uses it carelessly, is guilty of
treason to his nation. -Rey. j. 81.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

Taking away life is an irreparable
wrong. Fortune lost may be won
again. friends ahenated may be re-
stored, but life once gone Is gone
forever. Even few more years of
life may be worth million fortunes
to man, because this is a place of
discipline and probation which end
with life. For this reason God has
reserved to himself the right to
take away lIfe.-Rev. E. s. Todd,
Methodist, Baltimore, Md.

New York, Oct. &-Riordan & Co. saw
OF Gotten to-day: Liverpool gave a fair
response TO our advance of Yesterday
ana our market was higher this morning.
January opened at 7.9Sc and later selling
at cents; but there was too much long
cotton for sale, to permit the advance to
stand, although the Developments of the
day were rather the reverse Of bearish.
Frlces gradually gave way under the
pressure or offerings, until January had
sold at i.9lc. January closed at 1891 94c
WITH, the tone quiet and steady. Unless
the crop should be over 100000 bales
1t IS conceded by the bears that we shall
nave higher prices, and as we can see
no reason for believing that the crop
VIII be much if any over, 5000 600 bales,
we naturally feel that in spite of fluctua-
tlons OF the moment we shall presently
have materially higher market"
New York, Oct. 2S.-The Sun says of cot
ton; Futures advanced to 6 points, lost
the improvement, and declined 2 to 5
points, but rallied slightly. clos
ing unchanged to points lower,
with sales of 141, 100 bales. Influenced bv
bullish Liverpool news, prices here adj
vanced early in the day. Liverpool was
higher both for futures and spots, with a
better business doing on the spot. New
Orleans bought here and the receipts at
the ports and interior towns showed a con-
SiNSi a piS 1alllilS Oil DIS compared with a
week ago. The semi-weekly receipts at
thirteen principal interior towns We're 9S.-
600 bales, against 114,O00 last week and 9S, 900
last year. The stock at Houston, too, is
diminishing. But in the absence of local
support prices lost the Improvement and
slowly declined. New Orleans sold here
this afternoon, but the trading was in the
mean of a local character. Notices for
about $1,000 bales were issued, but were
quickly stopped. The worst feature of
the market. however, was the dullness of
the specula tion.'
