mis- sion and Stock Brokers.
WHARF.-The wheat market has
been very strong all week, due mainly
to the uneasy feeling over the polite
al outlook abroad. We are also in the
season Of winter wheat crop scares
and it will do we'll to go slow on short
side of wheat. Would buy it on all
breaks for the present.
CORN AND OATs-These articles

Would buy them on all breaks.
Provisions are gaining strength

vance and it may do to take profits on
long stuff and buy it back on breaks.

MEXICAN MINE SOLD.

Mexico City, Dec. GIT is
announced from Durango that
the famous Copalguin mine is
about to be sold to a syndicate
for $4,000, 900, the conditions
OF. the sale being 100000
down, which is to be placed in
a bank for six months with the
privilege of working the mine
for that time, when, if satisfac-
tory results are obtained, the
balance of 5000, 900 is to be
paid to the owners and full
possession given. But if that
amount is not paid, then the
100000 is to be forfeited to
the owners. Engineering and
mining experts are examining
the property, and if the pur-
chase is consummated it will
probably embrace other mines
besides the one named. There
IS much prospecting for mines
IN southern and western Du-
range by Americans.

city, with the following results:
In cases where the optic nerve
had been destroyed there was
no perception OF light. In
cases where the optic nerve
was sound or supposed to be
sound the pupils could see
light and could distinguish
small objects such as a key,
pocket knife, etc., passed be
fore their eyes. DR.. Hiigart
ner, the State oculist, proposes
in the near future to have an
other series of experiments
made. Cases will be selected
and notes taken and a report

ANOTHER SNAG.
Spanish ConsuIs Instructed
Not to Sign the Dauntless
Clearance Papers.

Washington, Dec. 3I.-If
either Of the suspected hlibus-
tering craft, DauntIess or Com
modore, sail away from Jack
sonvllle for Nuevitas or San
Diego, Cuba, it will do SO with
out clearance from the Spanish
consul, and therefore will be
debarred from entering any
Cuban port. Instructions have
been sent to Spanish consuls
at Havana, who were at first
disposed to clear the boats,
not to issue the clearance pa
pers. The reason for this &C
ton on the part of the Spanish
authorities is that under Span
ISL laws no arms, ammunition
or explosives can he landed en-
Spanish soil without a special
permit in each case. As the
cargoes of the Dauntless and
Commodore are stated to be
made OF these things it is con
tended that the vessels purpose
TO violate the Spanish law and
IS something that no Spanish
consul would be permitted to
sanction by the issuance OF
clearance papers.

 Oxfoze, Ala, Nov. 17.--At 1 o'clock todaysthe home of Clark Snow, on Col lege Hill, was thrown open to few friends to wtnss ss the marriage of his daughter, Miss AdaFto Charles c. Nor gan.
 Promptly at 1 the folding doors open ing from the library to the parlor were thrown open and MT.

They took their position in the. center of the spacious parlor, and as the strains of the wedding march died away the officiating minister, Rev. George D. Harris, of Piedmont, stepped forward and in short, but impressive ceremony, made them husband and wife.
 After receiving the hearty congratu- lations of their friends present, they left for Anniston, accompanied by few in- innate friends, where they boarded the Southsrn for an extended tour north.
 MT. Morgan is one of Oxford's most prominent business men.

 Will, So Says Leader

Louisville, Ky. Nov. 17.-The geneI al assembly of the Knights of Labor, whi h has been in session in tf:is city since th= early part of 9a.st week, completed it's work today and adjourned url il the second Tuesday of n=xt November, when it will convene in Chicago.
 The financial question occas,oned no end of discussion, and finally resulted in the adoption of resolutions danounc- ing strongly the present banking system as advocated by the national banks.
 "A delegate to the general assembly from New York, and one of the most prominent in the body, said this even ing to an Associated Press repres nta- tive that MT. Sovereign, beyond a doubt, would be a candidate for the nomination for the presidency in 1900. If, he said, Mir Bryan insists on making fight for ths nomination, MT. Sovereign viii not oppose him, for the two are warm friends. In that event Mir. Sovereign will become the candidate for the nomi- nation of vice-presd mt.
 It was natural for MT. Sovereign to d my the report, as he d.d not care fer the capitalists to interfere thus early in his canvass, and thus greatly tnjure flim before the fight was fairly on.

WHOSE WIFE IS SHE2
Banker KiIshaw Dead While the Butler Says He
 Is the Husband.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Addttional mystery Is thrown about the case of James D. Ketcham with every development used by the police in their effcr:s to ascertain the facts surrounding his death at the home of Mrs. Minnie Wal lace Walkup or Ketcham. Joseph Kel- Ter, the butler at the home of th= wo- man who now claims to be the widow of Mir. Ketcham, has been locked up on suspicion aroused by ais own story.
 The suspicion has been growing upon ths police as to the result of rumors which started in Milwaukee, that Keller appeared in the role of bridegroom at the wedding, and that he and not Keacham stood befora the minister with h.s face concealed under the folds of a scarf. The alisged wife of Ketcham is in bed with nervous pd,ostrati tion, the ordsal whjah she has undergone since the death of Ketcham having been toe much for her strength.
 Criminal proceedings are threatened against Mrs. Walkup and several other persons, whose secrets have not been dNulged, but who John Borden Kotch- ans nala.fves will charge were esso- ciated in what they characterize as con spiracy. Attorney James Purnell repre- sentling the dead bankers family, said tonight that enough evidence relative to John B. Ketcham's life in IndianapoH as we'll as the marriage which was per i formed in Milwaukee looked to the detectives to form a clear case against Mrs. Walkup and Keller.

VETS AND SONS OF VETS
Investigating Charges of Bribery Against Some
 of the Committeeman.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 17.-The investi-
 gating committee of the grand camp,
 sons of Confederate veterans, resumed
 their session tonight. This committee
 was appointed to inquire into the charge
 that certain members of the history committee of the Grand Camp Sons of veterans were in the employ of the American Book company.
 The sons history committee is an aux Hilary of the history committee of the veterans grand camp, which latter com
 mittee is also to be investigated later on. The investiga ton of the sons committee is for the purpose of sitting charges that members of its history committee were influenced to squelch the Massey
 resolutions, which were Introduced into Lee Camp, Sons of veterans some months ago, and which were inimical to John E. Massey. superintendent Of pub lie instruction and the book company in question.
 At the last meeting of the commttee it devloped that MT. Clyde B. West had
 shown a check for $125 given him by the agent here of the American Book com l pany. which amount, he claimed, was a personal loan from the agent. The point | at issue was whether any members cf the | Sons history committee recived a part 1 of this money.
 At the session tonight sevral b,nrs were spent in making additions to the | testimony. The only new testimony was | that of MT. Mathod, relating to the Mas l sey resolutions. He testified that MT. | Minetre Folks, who had been a msmber | of the history committee, endorsed to him l the resolution. Mir. Folks, however. ! spoke against the resolution in the meet ing of the camp and is the gen leman l alleged by one witness to have said to | MT. West: "Why did you put that $50 on my desk?"
 At midn'g the committee adjourned until otmorrow night.

BAPTIST CONGRESS,
Now Holding in Chicago, Continues to Grow
 in Interest.

Chicago, Nov. 7.--The second days session of the Baptist congress was de- voted to the discussion of the question: "Should Denomina tional Beliefs Impose Limitations Upon Teachers?" There were some differences of opinion as to what constituted the limit and how they should be observed by the teachers of the church. The papers showed that a liberal view had been taken of the mat ter by the writers, but all seemed to agree that in teaching the Baptist faith 1t was necessary to follow the funda- mental principles of the faith, and that unless Limitations were imposed this could-not be done.
 The first paper was read by Prof. s. K Deblos, of Shurtleff college, Upper Alton, Ili., who discussed the matter from the standpoint of the teacher.
 Rev IA. K. Parker read a paper cov- ering the subject from the ministerial point of view.
 Dr., George A. Loftin read paper on the same subject, and general discus sion followed.

THE CYLINDRICAL BALE
And Demand For Better Handling of the Fleecy Staple Decided Upon By the Arkwright Club

Boston, Mass, Nov 1.-The Arkwright club, the membership of which is almost entirely ccmpos:d of treasurers and managers of New England cotton mills, held a largely attended meeting, this af- ternoon The topic discussed was the ballng of cotton and the following was unanimously adopted:
 Cotton manufacturers have for long time suffered in the1r business by reason of the poor condition in which cotton has been delivered to them. It is poorly ginned, poorly handled, poorly baled, overlooked and subject to robbery from the time 1t leaves the planters hands until it reaches the mills. Nearly all of these evils are encouraged and fos- itersd by the practice of dealing in cot t1n at gross rate.
 The advent into the market of cotton ton gives an opportunity to remove these evils and their causes. The other forms of babes can be made entirely sat- isfactory if put in like manner to the Egyptian.
 As a large amount of cotton this seas on will be put up in the new bales the time has arrived when users are in a position to take decided stand on the question of baling and weighing.
 We, therefore, insist upon better bal ing and handling of cotton and upon a system of dealings at net rate and we
