New York. April lo.-Hubbard Bros. 4
Co.'S cotton letter says; Our cables state
that the Liverpool market did not respond
to tho better feeling here beoeua" of tho
political outlook In the Levant yesterday.
Selling orders for the new crop were also
received from abroad. Locally. the mar
let felt the effect OF thaSe selling orders
ON the new crop, which brought about
decline in those positions. while the near
by deliveries were held steady by the cor
tinued demand for cotton for export and
spinning. The large shipments from the
interior towns and the stocks at Memphis
and Houston will probably show at New
Orleans on Monday.
New York. April l0.-The cotton market
closed at net decline of 2d7 points. after
opening at a net advance of la2 on late
months. Tho market weakened immedi-
ately after the first call and closed quiet
at the lowest point. The weakness was
partly accounted for by fears of political
trouble in tho Levant.. This led TO some
in connection with the de-
crease m British consols and n belief that
the disasters in the lower Mississippi VAL
ley may have been more largely cx9gger-
oied than generally supposed. Trading
was I'm good part for Liverpool and con-
tinental accounts, with the orders Tor SELL
ing out quite numerous.

Our farmer readers will thank us
for calling their attention to the
Kansas Live Stock Indicator, a farm
journal that should be read every week
by ever farmer in this county. 1t is
strictly up-to-date and will save to the
farmer many times its cost during the
year, for it aims to be a thoroughly
practical farm paper, and it never
misses its aim. This is because its
various departments are in the hands
of practical experts IN their several
lines, who do daily the work OF which
they write. Its Special Farmers In
stitute Editions, issued monthly, are
made up OF tie practical experience
OF working farmers on practical farm
topics, and constitute Il treasury OF
agricultural information never equal
led by any previous undertaking for
the dissemination OF knowledge of
farm methods. Both the Indicator
and its Special Farmers Institute
Editions should be read in every farm
home, and sample copies of both will
be sent on application. Address. In

A BEAUTIFUL HOME WEDDING.

Had we listed on last Thanksgiving
eve, we would have heard the joyous
peal of wedding bells. At the home
of Mrs. Hattie E. Mccormick, every
thing was in joyous expectation, and
the floral decorations of the reception
room bespoke a happy bride. This
evening was to witness the union of
her daughter, Elizabeth NJ. McCor-
mick, one of our own young ladies,
with David Yoder. of Ellis
AS the organ pealed the note, the
bridal pair took their place, with the
flowers forming an artistic back
ground. Miss Mccormick fitted our
anticipation of a beautiful bride, as
she stood arrayed in gown of cream
silk, Hastily trimmed in gold laced
frills, while in her gloved hands, she
carried Il large bouquet of choice
white La France roses, gift of the
groom. The groom was elegantly at
tired in dress suit of black.
The ceremony rendered by Rev. E.
E. Gunckel, of this city, was truly
impressive. After the heartfelt con-
CALCULATIONS had been ten;iered the
happy pair, by the wedding company,
an elegant dinner was served. The
bridal cake was prettily bedecked
