We're not bloodthirsty denizens OF the

1t was good exercise for the boys, nut
the practice they received was not worth
much. The number of times they
passed around the diamond is unknown.
but when the game was finished they
were pretty tired from running.
1t was the first inning that hoodooed
the college boys. We do not blame
them. for it was enough to demoraTZc
anything. Twenty runs was terrible
odds to battle against and they must
have decided ii was too much. After
this dreadful inning the Wyoming boys
braced up little. but they had some
how lost all interest i'm the game
Just what the score was at the end OF
the game no one knows. The official
scorer of the day fled in terror at the
end of the fifth inning and no two OF the
spectators agree Long fefore the game
was ended all the spare paper that c u'd
be found was used up and the peanut
and popcorn bags We're selling at
high premium. We did observe one
person who had the courage to keep
the score to the end of the third inning,
but notice of his death appears i'm an
other column. We must give the col

cured That man who scored will be
hero i'm the eyes of his fellow students

drop the curtain on the sad scene at
the end of the sixth inning as the last
spectator left the wrounds. The obit-
uary was o7--l in favor of Carbondale.

NO MONEY FOR BREAD.
The Miners Taxes and Rent We're Paid.
However.

That some people hereabout are suf-
fering is in evidence at Miners Mills
Many of the miners at Pine Ridge col
liery, operated by the Algonquin Coal
company, had no pay to draw last pay
day, and some were in debt to the COM
pany.
One section Of the mine works on al
ternate days, and only about four hours
at that. During that time they get
about two cars or a total for the month
of twenty-siX cars, more or less, with
more of the less than the more. Last
month the taxes were stopped out OF
the pay and with the rent and other
items that We're stopped it left nc
money to purchase bread.

Two Men Arc Seriously Injured at Pow

Several workmen at the Powderly
mine yesterday had a very narrow es-
cape from instaHt death, two of the
number being quite badly injured.

coal which came down without mo-
ment's warning, part of it on the head
of Luke Larkin, a miner Larkin was
crushed to the ground, where he lay
under a mass of coal and rock. AS
sistance quickly arrived, and he was
released from his position. His head
was the most severely injured, there
being six long gashes on the top and
side. and one ear was nearly severed.
Besides this he sustained injuries to
his hip and knee John Mcdonald, who
was employed at the same place. was
also hit by the falling coal, but his
injuries are not bad. Dr. Niles attend
ed the injured men.

weekly Market Review.

Cotton-The market was very weak on
Monday, declining some % to 80 points, IN
consequence of large receipts, asslsleu
somewhat by a failure or two among
the discouraged bulls. Afterward changes
were unimportant, the close being at
net decline of about Is points. The move
ment has continued 50 heavy that the
bulls, long ceased to show any agrees
siVeness, have scarcely the heart any
longer to make any defense. About the
only consideration which has prevented
prices from a heavy slump has been
feeling of apprehension on the part OF
the bears themselves that perhaps prices
are low enough for the present, even with
a crop exceeding 100000 bales Although
it is still reported that there is much
cotton in the small interior towns, there
is nevertheless a feeling more or less
general that the movement may decrease
sharply after the holidays. Meantime the
immediate future of the market is not
very hopeful, burdened as 1t is with ex-
eessive receipts, poor spot demand and
the gratuitously added infiction of lingo
politics.
Grain and ProvisionsAlWhea has had a
quiet week, closing about 1c lower for
May, after a strong start on Monday.
The easier tone seems mostly attribut-
able to unsettled stocks in New York
caused by congressional oratory over
Cuba AS far as legitimate influences
60 the general tenor of news has been
decidedly bullish. The visible supply,
now rapidly decreasing, is already becom-
ing small as compared with recent for
mer years. This rapid decrease must con-
tinue indefinitely, for country deliveries
have dwindled away down, while the
cash demand keeps up. Also crop
reports from India and Argentina are
very bad. Speculation, however, Is dor
mant pending the holidays but the foun-
dalton of the market seems sound, and
the best conservative opinion is that
wheat will probably sell higher than it
has yet been this season. Some little
relative strength was infused into July,
which rules now to 8 cents under May,
by reports of damage to our winter crop.
Provisions We're very dull and practi-
cally unchanged. William I. Williams.

CLOSING DAYS IN CONGRESS.
ROTH HOUSES no BEGIN THEIR VA
CATION TOMORROW.

The Senate Likely to Take Up the At
titude OF the Administration on
the Cuban Resolutions as Soon aS
the Committee Report Is Present.
ed-COnservatiVe Senators DO Not
Look for n Serious Difference With
the President.
Washington, Dec. 20-The Cuban
question and Secretary Olneys state
ment of the executive position may pre-
cipitate a debate in the Senate tomorrow
that will set aside the regular business
assigned for the two days that body will
still be in session before the holiday re-
cess. 1t is not improbable that some of
the more radical Cuban sympathizers viii
start the discussion with the presentation
of Senator Cameron's report shortly after
the morning hour.
Conservative senators, who have stud
led the presidents, are inclined to the
opinion that the talk about a serious diff
ficulty between the President and con-
gress has no sound foundation. Cool
heads will counsel moderation.
There is not the remotest probability of
MIR. Cameron's resolution recognizing the
independence of the republic of Cuba be-
ing acted upon in the Senate before the
holiday recess. When the debate does
begin it is evident that Senators Morgan,
Davis, Chandler, Lodge, Cullom and Mills
will take up a position adverse to that
of the Secretary of State, and the discus
sion may be prolonged till after March 4.
1t was agreed in the committee on for
eign relations that the report on the Cam
eron resolutions should be made to-mor-
row, and that the matter should not be
called up until after the holidays. This
agreement will be carried out.
II the programme of the Senate made
before the Cuban question took such an
acute form is permitted to be carried out,
the Senate viii discuss the Oklahoma free
homestead bill, which is the unfinished
business.
The beginning of the holiday recess, with
the adjournment on Tuesday, gives but
two days for business in the House, and
there is small prospect of quorum. Con-
sideration of the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation BILL which Is the I'M
finished business, will be resumed to-mor-
row and the measure win probably be dis
posed Of unless the advocates of the libra
ry scheme proposed by the joint committee
as a substitute for the provisions reported
by the committee should require the pres
ence of a quorum, in which case the bill
will go over until after the holidays.

KEEPING COMFORTABLE
DIR. Abernethy's Advice About How
to Go Through the winter.

Keep the stomach warm, ana you can
not only defy dyspepsia but go through
the severest winter without any danger of
catching cold
1t was DR.. Abernethy, the celebrated
English physician, who once gave this ad-
vice to wealthy patient. He was right.
1t is a well-known fact that cold has a
way of finding out the weak spots in the
body and suddenly attacking them. 1t
generally strikes first at the stomach,
which is very sensitive place. 1t next
effects the circulation and makes the blood
course feebly through the veins. That is
why people who catch cold have acehs
and pains, lose their appetite and suffer
from Indigestion.
Indigestion.
The way to prevent colds is to keep the
stomach warm and the blood moving
rapidly by the regular use of pure stimu-
liant. Something should be taken to tone
up the system and fortify it against the
weakening effects of cold weather For
this purpose, nothing is better than Duffy s
pure malt whiskey, which is renowned for
its stimulating, strengthening qualities.
thousands of men and women who use
this whiSkey are enabled to escape the
dangers of colds, coughs, chills, grip and
pneumonia. 1t frequently happens that
inscriptions dealers at empt to Substitute
some inferior imitation which they claim
is Just like" or las good as" Duffys
pure malt. There is, however, nothing
that can possibly take its place.

NEW ORLEANS SHIPS A DIG CARGO.
The American Carries Out 22,57O
RaIes of Cotton.


New Orleans, La, Dec. 20.-The Brit
ish steamship American of the West India
and Pacific line has just cleared from
this port with the largest cotton cargo
on record from any port. The cargo com
prised 22,570 bales of cotton. In addition
she had 4,4S3 sacks of cotton seed and a.
800 oak slaves.
The American is probably the largest and
finest of the ships belonging to the regu-
lar lines which come here. A sister ship of
the American, the European, is now on her
way to New Orleans on her first voyage.
Those vessels have a net tonnage of s.,
406 TONS and gross tonnage of S,915 tons.
Another large ship which will come here
this season will be the British steamer Mil
waukee, belonging to Elder, Dempster &
Co., of Liverpool. She is larger than any
ship which has ever visited this port and
has capacity to stow 5000 bales of cot
ton. But her first cargo will consist large
ly of grain.
The coming of these big ships to this
port is due principally to the impetus CIV
en- the grain trade and imports by the eff
forts of the Illinois Central Railway Com
pany in the way of additional facilities for
handling freight, together with lower port
and terminal charges.
