HUBBARD'S COTTON LETTER.

New York, Oct. 2O.-Hubbard Bros. 4
Co. say of cotton:
Our weather service indicates another
cold wave, extending into Arkansas, to-
morrow morning, and kilograms have
been received from North Carolina and
South Carolina reporting frost last
night. but the effect has only been to
sustain prices at a slight advance over
Yesterday. Throughout the southwest
the feeling has become quite bearsh,
based on the high ocean freights and
light money. which are interfering with
the movement of cotton. The feature of
the afternoon was the execution of a
few buying orders for continental ac-
count. which closed the market steady
at the best price of the day.

FAIRCHILD e. HOBSON'S LETTER.

Especial to AUSTIN COtton EXchangeJ
New Orleans, Oct. 20.-We have had
a very dull and uninteresting market to-
day. The movement is liberal. Port
receipts. 7O.47S bales against 56,S46 bales
last year and 1881 bales year before:
Estimated receipts at New Orleans and
Houston for tomorrow are large and
about the same as last year. Bruins
wick will likely clear $4,000 bales this
week, which will be counted and help
swell the movement, already big. The
high rates of freight and low rates of
exchange today, as compared with last
year, shows SLIGO per bale, or 81 points
against cotton. Just before the close,
the market got quite strong on cooler
weather in Kentucky, Georgia and Mis-
sissippi and predictions of frost in In
dian Territory, Arkansas and Tennessee.

AN INSANE MAN.

Saturday night a man giving the
name of George Mountn, was taken
ND at Belmont, near Oakesdale as
insane, says the ColfaX Gazette.
He was kept in confinement at
Oakesdale until Monday, when he
was brought to CoIfax, and after
examination committed to the hos
pital at Medical Lake. Although
his name is given as Mountn, moth
ing definite is known of him, either
his name or former locality. He
was first seen in the Belmont neigh
borhood about ten days ago. He
did not stop at any hodae but wan
dered about the fields and slept in
hay stacks and about barns. 1t is
reported that one day last week he
took several shots at farmer with
a squirrel gun. The next day he
stripped himself and found amuse-
ment in sliding down a hay stack.
Mountn seems to be unable to talk,
though occasionally a few words
can be understood in his ceaseless
mutterings. He is tall and ENACT
ated in appearance, bearing the APP
pearance of being poorly fed. His
dress is rough and badly worn.

TAXATION OF BACHELORS.

Some time ago it was proposed
by member of one of our state
legislatures to promote matrimony
by placing a graduated tax on
bachelors. The introducer of the
measure, himself a benedict, did
not make it clear whether he con-
sidered that the unmarried should
be mulcted because of the comforts
which they are described by women
novelists as enjoying, or that they
should be forced into way of life,
condition Of double blessedness,
with joys of which they are una
ware. The bill was lost. 1t is
curious to find the French patriots
who are worried by the falling off
IN the native population, and the
steady influx Of Belgians and Ital-
ians, turning with favorable eyes to
just such a plan. If a bill is intro
duced in the chamber of deputies
it may be modelled on one which
obtained the support of consid-
cradle number Of the members of
the Servian parliament. According
to this, the unmarried man was not
to be looked on asan habitual Grim
inal until he had reached the age
Of thirty. But at that time he was
to pay do4ble taxes. If he sur
vived the shock for rs years he was
to be fined annually. When he
reached his 56th year he was to be
left to his own devices. The un-
fortunate widower was to have a
worse time. He was to have five
years truce in which to get over
his bereavement When once that
period mad elapsed he was to be
rated once more as a bachelor. 1t
did not matter whether he had
dezen children or not, or expressed
a desire to remain faithful to his
late wife. In the Servian cases as
we'll as our own the scheme of the
persons who would have liked to
look after other persons marriages
fell through. The French expert
ment will be an interesting one if

AFTER THE FLOUR GOLD.

The Dean mining boat has been
launched and is awaiting the ar
rival of the machinery from the
east. The hull will be dropped
down to the location selected for
operation before the machinery ar
rlves and the fitting will be done
there. The boat is q by 90 feet
built III the most substantial man
ner and in accordance with scien-
tlfic principles throughout. The
plan Is to work a giant with direct
power from the engines; The water
will be thrown with a pressure of
one hundred pounds to the inch,
A 10 inch pipe will conduct the
water to the head of the sluice.
1t is the intention to use coal for
1uel while the price of wood is main
tanned at the present figures. A
carload of coal arrived at Riparia
last week but the boat would not
carry coal in bulk so the owners
were compelled to go to Riparia and
sack the cargo. 1t is demonstrated
to be cheaper to burn coal than
wood at figure higher than three
dollars cord.
The machinery was due from
Watertown, New York, on the 10Th
OF March but some delay was occas-
Toned In securing government in

,pRESTED FOR AN OLD
CRIME.

An old charge Of crime, and one
that will probably be made highly
interesting when it comes to trial,
was renewed March 80, on COM
nlaint of Solomon Walters of Far
mpington, charging Chas. W. Wal
ters with burglary and larceny.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed in July, 1894, and at
that time the case was up for hear
inc before the then justice Of the
neace, John F. Dillon, but the mat
fer was dropped because it was be-
lieyed not sufficient evidence could
he secured to insure conviction.
Since that time, however, new
nroof has been found, and the COM
nlaint was renewed as above stated.
The defendant was arraigned be-
fore Justice |. B. Doolittle Monday
and his preliminary hearing set for
April 6. In default of furnishing
A $500 bond he was committed to
iail.-Commoner.

While considering the beet ques-
ton in the Northwest, let us re-
member that the sugar region of
the south is but begun in develop
ment. While a large plantation in
Texas has produced six million
pounds Of sugar a year, it has
hardly been heard of as a sugar
producing state. With the proper
conditions and inducements we
shall not only make all the sugar
we need, but be great exporters.

Paintings Found at Pompeii.

At meeting Of the Hellenic society re-
Gently a paper was read by Mr.. Talfourd
Ely on newly discovered paintings at Pom
peii. The paper was illustrated by photo
graphs which were handed round for in
spection. The paintings described were Of
various degrees of merit, some of them be-
ing clearly copies of older originals coming
from Hellenic source.
Among the subjects were the strangling
of serpents by Hercules, who appears a
stalwart boy much older than tae tradi-
tionally ascribed ten months There was
also pictorial representation of Hero and
Leander, and of the desertion Of Ariadne
by Theseus there were about 25 examples
at Herculaneum. A beardless Zeus also
was found, of which instances are very
rare, though occasional mention of such a
form of representation is made in Pausani-
as: There was one example of Perseus and
Andromeda differing from the usual pres
entation of the latter as chained to rock
The story of Ixion was curiously of rare
occurrence In the remains of ancient art,
but at Pompeii was found picture of the
discovery of Ixion by Dionysius, the head
of the former being turned the wrong way.
Many of the pictures represented differ
ent trades and of these some were of a
very commonplace and realistic character.
In others the work was represented in a
more ideal fashion through the medium of
little Erotes, who were depicted as carrying
ON the trades of dyeing and fulling and
in another instance in the act of coming
money The effect In some cases was al
most comical, as in pictures of oilmaking,
of wineshop and of gymnastic perform
