 Plain.

Albuquerque Democrat: c. H. Fancher, land agent of the Atlantic & Pacific, who has been with Col. Plumb, s. M. Folsom and w. A. Claf1in on a trip to the sites of the proposed reser- voirs, thirty-fve miles southwest of Winslow, returned on Friday evening. The gentleman says that the site will cover $500 acres down a natural can yon, in which flows Jacks creek. There is a natural spillway in the mature of wall of rock that could not be better if constructed. Near Winslow it is calculated to put in a diversion dam. South of Iuhe reservoir site is field of timber, many trees measuring two feet at the butt. The visitors said if all went right operations would begin before the close of the current month.
 Col. Plumb, who is a Chicagoan, re- turned home via Denver, and MT. Clafin, who has been in the real es- tate business in the big city on Lake Michigan for thirty years, took a run down to the Pecos. MT. Fancher thought Folsom left for Chicago, where he presumes he intends to meet Col. Plumb.

A CASE OF SUICIDE.
Primus Leonard, Negro, Found Dead.
Now, Thought to Have Suicided.

Moscow, Polk County, Tex, Oct. 2S.-
Special -Primus Leonard, an old and
respected negro, was found dead near
his home, about three miles from town.
yesterday morning. Justice Polk of this
place was notified, and upon investiga-
ton, came to the conclusion that the old
man had died by his own hand. 1t
seems he had some trouble about having
to pay Il fine for another negro and the
authorities took some six or seven head
of his cattle, about all he had. and it
troubled the old man. He had avowed
his intention of killing himself and his
wife had taken his knife and razor. But
he was not to be thwarted; he went out
and got his scythe and broke about four
or six inches of the blade off, and with
that he did the work, cutting his throat
from ear to ear. He left home Satur-
day morning and was found Monday
morning in the woods, not far from his
home. 1t is not known just when he did
the work, but from his condition when
found it is supposed it was done Sat
urday evening.

TORNADO NEAR SHERMAN.
1t Destroyed Some Houses in the Coun-
try-Several Persons Injured.

Sherman, Tex, Oct. 2S.-(Special.)-
This afternoon about $40 o'clock a well
defined tornado formed in Squirrel creek
bottom, four miles west of the interior
village of Pennington and about four
teen miles southwest of this city. Par
ties who saw it at its inception say that
it was a seething, tumblng mass of inky
clouds; a funnel-shaped column de-
seconded until it touched the earth, end
then it began to move northeastward, ac-
companied by the usual terrific crash
and roar as it tore through the bottoms
uprooting trees and demolishing every
thing in its path, which, for the first mile
or two, was not exceeding thirty or
forty yards in width.
The first house it is known to have
destroyed was on the George Duke farm,
one mile west of Howe and about five
miles from the starting point No one
was hurt at this place.
From this point until it struck the Jim
Farris farm, two and half miles south
of the city, distance of perhaps eight
miles, it is known to have risen and de-
scended several times, but what damage
it did has as yet not been heard.
At the Farris place tenant house,
occupied by family by the name of
Hayes, was literally torn to pieces and
every member of the family more or less
injured. Mr.. Hayes is thought to be
fatally hurt
The path of the storm lay at least
mile and half east of the city, but the
cloud burst which accompanied it was
furious in the eastern suburb of the city,
where the houses as far down as Cleve-
land avenue are mud-bespattered, much
rs was the case during the great storm

DALLAS BIKE RACES

Dallas, Tex, Oct 24.-(Special.)-A
spill in the quarter professional event

this famous meet to close in most
unpleasant manner. o. i. Stevens had
his shoulder dislocated and every other
rider in the race (seven in number) suf-
fered severe fall, all of them being bad
ly hurt and bruised The accident was
caused by Il large patch of dew which
had gathered on the track and caused
the riders wheels to slip. OF the whole
seven but three were able to remount
their wheels in time to put up good
race. Summary

won; Burk, second; Simon, third. Time,
80 fiat.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 2S.-The
Tradesman, in its weekly review of
southern industrial conditions, compiled
manufacturers and business of the
south, notes no special change since its
last report. Trade in all lines con-
tinues conservative, awaiting the result
of the election. Almost an innovation
in trade circles is the number of con-
tracts conditioned upon the election. If
they are placed business generally will
be very active after November 3.
The tone of the iron and steel market
expected when the financial question is
settled. The demand for pig iron con-
tinues active, some speculative buying
being noted in Bessemer pig. The mar
ket for finished material Is not strong
and low prices are being made in nearly
all lines, where the orders are for prompt
delivery. The calls for plate are numer-
GUS and some good orders have been
placed.
The lumber business Is only fair,
though manufacturers report more favor
able indications and in some sections the
volume of trade is already increasing.
But low prices, rather than a dull de-
mand, keep many plants idle or running
on short time. The export trade is
steadily improving, and the mills work
ing on orders of this class have all they
can do.
Among the new Industries for the week
the Tradesman reports the following:
Acid works to cost 100000 at New Or
leans; railroad shops and round houses
at Fort Smith, Ark, approximate cost,
500 600. the Ignite Eppette and COal
company, capital 100000. chartered, at

A REMARKABLE ADVANCE IN
THE NEW YORK MONEY
MARKET YESTERDAY.
JUMPED FROM 10 70 100 PER- GENT
And Closed at 50 Per Cent Bid-Calling
In of Loans to Prepare for Today's
Demands Caused the Big
Jump in the Market.

New York. Oct. 29.-The approach of
the election was signalized in financial
circles here today by rapid and remark
able advance in the money market. Soon
after the opening of the exchange for
business today there was great demand
for call money, which opened ut 10 per
cent, l per cent higher than the average
yesterday. BY leaps and bounds the rate
advanced until at noon 30 per cent was
demanded for cash loans. The demand
sent the rate up until late in the day,
when 100 per cent was asked and
80 per cent bid. This was the closing
quotation. The jump to 100 per cent
began gradually and proceeded amid
made at 10 per cent, and the rate then
advanced to Is per cent and finally,
about $50 p. M, broker who wanted
money was compelled to bid the rate up
the required accommodation. The price
then fuctuated between 40 and 80 per
cent. Business was only moderate, ms
offerings of funds were eXertmely light.
AS the demand for money increased, the
price asked by tens from 80 to 60, then
to 20, until the maximum was reached.
The immediate cause of the stringency
was the calling for loans by some of the
banks that wished to prepare themselves
for possible large demands tomorrow.
Loans made on Friday go over Monday,
according to custom, although the banks
legally have the right to call money on
any day of the week. The banks, as a
rule, are reserving their surplus funds
for the accommodation of their regular
customers, who are being supplied at G
per cent in proportion to the business
done by them. The stringency was not
especially due to shipments of funds to
the interior, as the volume of this bust
ness has not exceeded the average of last
week, Bankers report sharp inquiries
for funds for their regular clients, and
sympathetic hardening influence in the
money market was eXerted by report
of an increase in the days figure for cash
gold. Bullion brokers advanced the
commission premium on gold BIG pei
cent to 1-4M3-S per cent. Predictions
are in the street of materially higher fig
ures for money tomorrow. But some
leading bankers express the opinion that
the worst of the furry has been seen.
Money has not been so high since the
Barring panic some years ago, when il
went skyward in the same way.

A MISSISSIPPI TwIsTER..
\ Terrific Storm, Destructive of. Much
Property.

Oxford Miss. Oct pa terrific cy-
clone passed through the eastern part
of La Fayette county this afternoon at
1 o'clock, demolishing farm houses and

neeting to speak at Abbeville tonight.
He and Harkins were caught in the

upon them without warning. They were
driving Il double team buggy. The wind
lifted the vehicle, horses and all and car
ried them 200 yards. The buggy was
completely demolished by falling timber.
but neither men nor horses were serious
ly hurt. Harkins sustained slight in
jury by flying fence rail.
The storm passed through the outskirts.

yet been reported. Not tree was left
standing in the cyclones path. Further
details can not be had tonight.

Treaty With Uncle Sam.
Washington, Oct. 29.-oen. Frank G.
Armstrong Of the Dawes Indian COM
mission, which has been at work for
weeks negotiating with the five civilized
tribes, is in the city. He says the pros
pect is bright for reaching a satisfactory
agreement with the Indians by the end
of the. winter. There has been com
plete change of sentiment, he said, since
last year, when the Indians all refused
the governments proposals, and now the
Indians are in the city representing the
interests Of their respective tribes and
are almost all favorable to an agreement.
Any treaty or agreement that is made
must be submitted for ratification by
congress, and the distribution of lands
alone is likely to occupy some time, and
it is probable that a reorganization and
a complete fulfilment Of the govern
ment's plans will not be obtained within
several years. The commission has so
far adjudicated a very small proportion
of 7lOO. claims for citizenship in the five
civilized tribes.

THAT PLAYED AT DALLAS YES
TERDAY WAS THE WARAIEST
OF IT'S KIND.
NEITHER SIDE GOULD GET A SCORE.
Though Both Sides Came Near 1t Sew
eral Times-Dallas Has Gone Foot
ball Crazy Over the Fine Show
ing Her Eleven Made.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 24.-(Special.) Eff
teen hundred football cranks, with copper
lungs, steel thoats and an assorted
variety of yells and screeches, witnessed
the best game of football ever played in
North Texas at the Dallas Cycle park
today. The contest was between the
Dallas eleven and the eleven of the Uni
versity of Texas, from Austin. 1t re-
suited in tie, the score being . to D.
Both sides played uphill football and
contested not only every foot, but every
inch of the disputed ground.
In the first half it could be plainly seen
that Dallas was merely on the defensive
side, that the eleven was afraid of the
Austin boys, but in the second half they
assumed the aggressive and carried the
ball right down into the enemy's terri
tory, approaching at one time to the
15-yard line from the Austin goal. Aus
tin fought manfully and by three long
runs carried the ball as many times far
over into the Dallas territory. The
North Texas lads, by energetic work,
however, quickly regained their ground
and more, too, and had the game lasted
ten minutes longer Mack Sterett, with
his quick runs, would, by the assistance
of his colleagues, probably have scored Il
touchdown for Dallas.
At the end of the game the Dallas
boys were in much better condition than
their opponents, being comparatively
fresh. AT all odds, however, it was
the best game ever seen here, and its
conclusion was greeted with yell by til,
supporters of each side exceeding any.

vans Texas Steers in their palmiest day
Some 300 or 400 Austin people came NJ
with the team to root for their side
and they yelled with vengeance.
Six or seven players were badly
bruised. but there were no serious
casualties.
This town is football crazy tonight, as
the snappy game the Dallas boys put III
surprised every one, as nobody for i
moment dreamed but that Austin would
score a signal victory.
