THE FUTURE FOREToLD.
Some of tho Bright Things in Store for a
Register Reporter.

Prof Chas. NJ. Leon, the clairvOyant.
gave a Register reporter a reading
a few days ago. and il all the good
things which he promised are realized,
the future is the reverse of dark for
the pencil pusher The clairyoyant
guaranteed his predictions, so it is all
settled in the mind of the scribe. There
was not any dark room or mystic signs
or language, with the exception CT d
sentence in Greek or Hindoo which
was written before the Professor went
into a trance.
After hitting the truth exactly in a
few simple facts. the clairyoyant left
the present. TO search through the hay
realms Of the future. He could see as
far ahead Us 1910. and The reporter was
still living. This lifted quite burden
from the reporters mind, as it o0Viates
the expense Of purchasing bullet-proot
suits, not 10 mention the big saving III
apothecary bills In the year 1890, the
reporter with a partner, will be conduct
ing a newspaper very successfully IN
the State of Illinois. The State Of Ill
inois is much better than the dead
broke state, at any rate.
a warning was also given. Within
three months the reporter will be in
vited to 60 into a scheme and two
bold bad men will urge him to accept
but if he assents it will mean financial
ruin. Persons who have evil designs
on the plethoric purse Of the newspaper
man. Will please take warning.
The reporter regarded himself as a
confirmed bachelor. but was eratiiied to
learn that he will be married happily
within three years. The girl will be
plump and pretty with brown eye: and
black hair. and she viii possess ts1ne
means" What a pity that a bar
don't 20 with such q charming creature.
Her name is Annie. Annie (Gcdy) an
swering Prof Icons description you'd
confer lasting favor by presenting
herself. or opening mp correspondence
at once The union will be blessed with
four children three ball players and q
typewriter.
The reporter was compelled to ADMIT
to the clairvOyaut That his statements
of facts were correct. and that there
was nothing improbable in MS read
ing of the future. Whether or not
there is anything in spiritualism or
clairvoyaucy, there are many persons
who are credulous, judging by the NUM-
Der of Prof. LeCn's visitors.

Tacoma, Wash, March 1.-the first
beefsteak that ever reached Circle CITY,
Alaska, sold for S4S a pound a few
weeks ago. The steak consisted OF a
ten-pound piece of the beef that was
slaughtered at Forty Mile Creek, and
was packed at that place and was ship
ped $50 miles TO Circle City, by Thomas
O'Brien. When OBrien reached the
camp. the miners turned out in body
to see the steak II was placed on eX-
hibition. and il attracted as much at
tention as an eight-legged calf. Every
body wanted a piece OF the fresh meat.
and the prices offered were such as
would have resulted in mining camp
quarrel or bloodshed. if it had not been
decided 10 rattle the steak of for the
benefit of a hospital which Bishop
Rowe is trying to establish LOT the
miners at Circle City.
At first only s. per pound was ohered
for a slice Of the steak but the bidding
became brisker as the meat was sliced,
and as high as $35 per pound was OFFER
ed. Finally, in order TO avoid complI-
cations. it was decided to sell tickets at
80 cents to $3.50 for the privilege OF
drawing for slice After $3.50 worth
of tickets had been sold the drawing be-

Cotton Letter.

New York. Nov. 16.-The bulls in cot ton were frightened by another small ad- vance today. Liverpool advices were again favorable. That market was one and a half sixty fourth higher this morn- ling and the spot sales were large. nhe opening here was 2 to points above the closing figures of last night. Heavy neceipts caused some selling after the opening, but the market was extremely narrow, and one prominent bull absorb ed what cotton there was for sale. Dur ing the morning prices were steady, and fin the afternoon, when it became eyi- dent that no pressure to sell would be forthcoming, the shorts covered freely and prices advanced rapidly. Talk of a lighter movement, owing to bad weather, added to the nervousness of the bears. At the advance, however, realizing sales were very large, and about half of the rise was lost. January opened at 5.71, advanced to 573, declined to 5,69, ad- vanced again to 5.S1, gradually gave way and closed at 5.75 to 5.76. with the tone of the market steady. Although general sentiment here still is wavered. dt is noticeable that the market shows considerable resistance and we believe that purchases on breaks will pay.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov 16.-The cotton mar ket was firm and strong today on for eign news and the Liverpool market came in one to two points higher and sustained its gain. January cotton in New York showed slight weakness at the beginning of the session. but at noon on damage reports sent in from the south to the top crop and the re- ceipts for New Orleans as estimated for tomorrow being lighter than expected, the market took an upward tendency and scored the highest prices for the January option for some two weeks. The foreign markets were taking all of- ferings promptly and New York turned buyer. This with the foreign news and news from the south sent cotton up In g. substantial way. as though we may have a still higher market. The market looks healthier now than it has for weeks, though in the face of heavy re- ceipts at the ports it would be natural to have some slight reactions, which we are almost certain to encounter. Manchester has taken more cotton than usual today. and this with 8 slight ad vance in the dry goods market Is ac- countable partially for the rise today. We think those who will buy cotton and hold it will certainly make money.

Dry Goods.

New York, Nov. 16.-There IS llttle en- eomagement in the dry goods market prices in all lines of cotton goods still tending towards a lack of stability and buyers being anxious to take advantage of such irregularities. Still tn number of spot buyers in the market is very dull and trade for mail orders is not of large proportions. The situation in wooden goods is practically unchanged, although there is not nearly so much frregularity in the demand nor in the stand taken by sellers. But in cottons the question of price is StTIl undecided and the market shows many weak places, even on basis of the low prices raow prevailing.

In Wall Street.

New York Nov. 16.-This was another remarkably dull day on the stock ex- change. The only spurts of activity were due to manipulative manouvres on the part of professional traders. These were notably manifest in Consolidated Gas, which jumped up and down the price scale a point at a time all day, but always alt a level below last night s price. The dectine extended to Az points at one time, but covering at the close left the stocks net loss only fractional. The weakness of the stocks and of other local gas stocks is due to fears of a failure of plans alleged to favee been in contemplation for the ama1gamatior of the local gas companies; others were weak in sympathy with Consolidated Gas. Sugar continued to lead the mar ket in point of activity, and its strength during the day helped the general strength of the market. It rose at one time 9 points. but reaction, due to realizing sales on a short turn, left fits met gain fractional. Others of the indus trial stocks, notably the cotton stocks, Tobacco and Leather preferred, rose sharply on traders purchases but these partly lost their gains on realization sales. The movement dn New Jersey Central was due to the same causes The market for the most part however, was firm In tthe face of the dullness, prices continued above yesterdays level all day after a small decline just at the opening. This decline was in sympathy with the heayiness of American secu- rities iTl the London market London was also @ selbar in this market of Amer acan stocks. Nhe strength of the rail- road list generally was due ito continued good outlook for business, the grain movement having been resumed in force and a very heavy movement of cattle being reported by some western roads. Manhattan was heavy all day, and at no itime did 1t rise above yesterdays level. The Rubber stocks were also somewhat depressed. There was no news bearing on either of these properties. The heavy tone in Omaha alone of the grangers was equally without explana- tion. Northwest. the parent stock, gain ed point, as did Rock Island The market was exceedingly marrow, both in the volume of the dealing and in the movement of prices Except in few cases prices show fractional met gains on the day.
