ELEVENTH DISTRICT.
The Result of the Recent Election Was as
Eypected.

The Result of the Recent Election Was as
Expected.
The election in the Eleventh con-
gressional district on yesterday, to
fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Hon. VIM. HI. Grain, re-
suited in the election of Kleberg,
democratic candidate, by a SUBJ
stantial majority. There was a
very light vote cast, owing partly
to the weather conditions and
partly to the lack of interest in the
campaign, particularly on the part
of the republicans, who made no
effort to secure votes, and partly to
the brief period between nominal
tion and election. Kleberg and
Brewster carried their respective
counties, and it is probable that
the populist candidate, Lawhon,
did the same. The vote brought
out was not more than a fraction
of the voting strength of the dis
trict and affords no real criterion
by which to judge of the relative
strength of parties. 1t only demon
strates, however, what the LIGHT
prophesied, democratic victory
unless the populists and the re-
publicans made common cause for
the protection of the stock in
terests Of the district. The fine
Italian hand of James Welsh was
seen in the majorities in Cameron
and Starr counties, while the 1,500
majority, or more, in Cameron
county shows that the ancient and
hereditary enemy of Mr.. Breweter
there was not idle.
The returns are coming in slow
ly from the country districts owing
to the condition of the roads, but it
is already apparent that the dis
trict cast fully as many democratic
votes as were cast by the combined
republican and populist voters.
So far as received the votes show
about 5000 for Kleberg as against
$500 for the other two candidates.
The municipal elections in the
state were largely without politi-
cal significance. Where party lines
were drawn the democrats were
elected, by votes generally light.

Cripple Greek to dig out his for
tune In gold, but only stayed there
three days. He says there 1900 to
1000 men and women walking the
streets, out Of work and money and
starving and freezing to death. 1t

gambling house. Scarlet women
from every quarter of the globe are
swarming on the streets night and
day, and crime is rampant.

HER TROUBLE ENDED.
LAURA CLEMENTS POISONED HER
SELF YESTERDAY.
She Said the World Was Against Her Be-
cause Her Lover Deserted Her, Which
Was More Than She Gould Bear.

Because the only one she loved
had forsaken her, Laura Clements
committed suicide yesterday after
noon.
She was pretty girl, about Is
years Of age, and came here from
Houston about week ago. She
rented room from Madge Devene
at la Buena Vista street and gave
her name as Lily Anderson. She
went to Houston last Saturday
and returned yesterday morning.
She remained in her room all
day and about 3 O'clock in the
afternoon was found on her bed,
apparently asleep and breathing
heavily. An empty bottle labeled
"morphine," was found in the
room, which aroused suspicious of
suicide, and DR.. Berry. was at once
sent for. DR.. Villareal and DR..
O'Malley also arrived and the
three worked at her about two
hours with an electric battery.
She died about o'clock. 1t is
said that she had taken fifty cents
worth Of morphine.
Captain Bennett and Coroner
Jones were notified and the body
was ordered turned over to Nc
Cormick's morgue.
A note was found in the room,
signed Oily Anderson" which
read:
81 do not care to live any longer.
1t seems the whole world is against
me, even the one l love has for
ssken me; and it is more than 1
can bear. Please pack my trunk
and send 1t to Miss M. Clements,
Edna, Texas. You will never hear
from me again"
Who the loved one is she did not
say, but just before she died, 1t is
said she asked for "Henry."
A telegram was sent to Edna
last night. 1t 10 said her mother
lives in Edna.

Developing.
Humanity is not lovely when
seen through drizzling rain. This
may be the reason of the slim at.
| tendance OF ladies at the meeting
of the Flower Battle association
Yesterday. Those present wore
faces of pretentious length; one
could see that they bore an indy.
ing grudge against meteorologic
science, on account of that phe,
nomenon of aqueous infltration,
which is so deadly to the frail
headgear that they affect.
Mrs. Elizabeth Ogden, president,
was present and presided for the
first time.
After the reading of the minutes
report was received from Rev.
G. @. A. Rose containing the fol-
lowing items of additional SUBJ
scriptions: Maverick land office,
$25; Crystal ice factory, $40; G..
Bedell Moore, S..
1t was reported that Captain
Karber had accepted the chief
marshalship, and that G.. G. Watts
E. Hertzberg and Antonio p.
Rivas had all agreed to act as lieu
tenants of the parade.
The cavalcade committee re-
ported through Mrs. Watts, who
assured the body that the caval-
cade would be very fine.
The committe on floats reported
five floats assured, and prospect
Of two more.
Mrs. Albert Maverick, chairman
OF the bicycle committe, announced
the officers of the cycle parade as
follows: Louis Heuermann, cap
tain; Earnest Stoves, Mr.. Arthur,
Frank Richards, Ogden johnson
and Jake Waelder, lieutenants.
Capt. Heuermann has invited all
the cy cling clubs in the state to
participate in the parade, while
many hundreds Of local wheelmen
and ladies will ride in the process
sion, and two tandems will be en-
tered.
The United States army band
will lead the procession and the
bicycles will follow Immediately.
Chief Tobin has renowned con-
nection with the decoration OF the
fire department, thinking his
quota of appropriations insufficient
to properly dress the engines. A
committee, composed Of. Mrs. E.
Hertzberg, Mrs. d. Ludlow, and
Mrs. w. P. Baugh, was appointed to
see II Mr.. Tobin would not recon-
slider this action. But irrespective
OF his determination, the associa-
ton voted that the residue Of the
$50 appropriation be expended in
flowers to be distributed to the diff
ferent companies and put to the
best use.
Mr.. Atlee Ayers floral arch
design was accepted with thanks
The LIGHT has given a description
Of the arch in previous issue. The
woodwork will cost in the vicinity
Of $40. The arch will be placed on
the unpaved part Of the plaza.
In awarding the prize Of the sill.

Chicago Change.

Chicago. H., Sept. 8-The final outcome in the wheat market today possessed no material advantage over that of Saturday for either shorts or longs, but the general average of prices during the day was de- cidedly in favor of the bears. December wheat opened at 573sa571ac, sold between 571sG5I14 and 5Sc, closing at the outside, a shade over Saturday. Cash wheat was Hc lower, closing firmer.
 Corn offered no residence to the weak ness conveyed by sympathy with wheat Scarcely any interest attached to the pit operations. which were for the most part local and scalping, with no large dealings taking place. May corn opened at 24c, de- clined to 2Ss<c, closing at 237sc, Ac under Saturday. Cash corn was easy and Ac lower.
 Oats drifted in the same channel as wheat and corn. trading at times, however, being fairly active in a local way. Prior to the close some independent firmness was noted, which availed to cause a more pronounced recovery than in either of the leading grains. May oats closed 1s@Ac higher than Saturday Cash oats were weak, prices ranging from la to 94c lower than on Satur- day
 Provsons-The provision market was not enlivened by any remarkable incident, and, 1t might be said the trade unusually dull. The tone of the market was fairly steady, that being the feeling existing in the hog market. A Armer tone in sympathy with the rally in wheat appeared later in the session. January pork closed Dc higher than Saturday, January lard shade higher and January ribs shade lower.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton T,ef,tar

New York, Sept S.-(Special.) )-Cotton had a material advance today, Liverpool led the way with rise of about 12-64d and Jan uary opened here amid much excitement at S7O But there was a great deal of selling to realize profits in the first hour and Jan uary reacted to S.57. Then the buying start ? ed afresh and there was a quick recovery, January advancing to S74. The close was steady, with January at S.6SGSs9. The week. ly weather report of the government was very bullish, but it seemed to have been dis counted before hand by the traders. At these prices sharp reactions are to be ex- pected, and we are rather inclined to advise our friends to take profits on good rallies. But we are satisfied that the general tend of the market is still upward and upon soft spots we would rather buy.

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Sept S.--The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton closed steady at a net advance of 23 to g points. with sales of 24O, GOO bales.
 Today's features: The sharp rise in Liv- erpool was reflected in an active and ad- Vancing market here today. But aside from the Liverpool news there were other bullish deveiopments in the speculation which con- tributed to strengthen the tone. Spot mar kets here and in Liverpool were active and higher, unfavorable crop advices continue port was bullish, there was no pressure to sell, Liverpool bought, and local shorts and longs bought An estimate of the Texas crop of 1,75O,OO0 bales and the expectation that the bureau report on the 10th will show decided drop in the condition of growing crop also favorably affected sentiment. So prices advanced rapidly. Toward the close there was some realizing for local and southern account and part of the improve substantial improvement for the day.
