Galveston, Texas, September 1.-THE GAL
weston Maritime association has sent out
copies OF the following:
To the Farmers. Gamers and All Parties
| Handling Cotton in Texas.
| The Galveston Maritime Association.
Galveston. September /, 1s97.--The marine
insurance companies have issued new
tariff on cotton; the rates are one-fourth
Of per cent higher on cotton raised in
any other State
Placing the value OF a bale at $40, the in
creased cost is 10 cents per bale, or $780,
600 on crop of 100000 bales.
Who In the end pays this enormous sum
Of 100000?
The only answer is. the Texas farmer
just think of tan actual loss equal to
the value of 1900 bales OF cotton caused
by negligence, and who is at fault?
Up TO last year the insurance companies
accused the port Of Galveston Of allowing
cotton to remain on the wharves without
protection long enough for the bales to
absorb sufficient moisture to deteriorate
the cotton all around the bale, and espe-
cially the end resting on the ground.
To place the responsibility where 1t be-
longs, the Wharf company, at Galveston,
Two years ago covered all its wharves with
water proof warehouses having planked
iloors, but still country damage claims
came from abroad. and as the damage can
not occur here, the careless handling in
the country is responsible for that enorm-
GUS loss Of 100000 in insurance
The cotton is transferred here direct
from the cars TO the warehouse and from
the warehouse to the steamers; there is no
possibility Of damage occurring
The loss OF 100000 can be prevented by
the farmers, cotton dealers and compress
managers taking better care OF the cot
ton, and never letting the bales rest on
the ground, nor be exposed to the weather.
Heavy bagging, two and one half pounds
and certainly not less than two and one
fourth pounds. should be used, and skids
should be placed under the bales when it
is not possible to keep them in ware
houses.
IL the interior OF the tSate will protect
the cotton as 1t Is done In Galveston, the
question OF country damage" will be set
aied. and the farmers will receive $500, 900
more for their cotton.

Harry Williams play, a Bowery

in the main, but this is presented in
such radical change of style from the
conventional method that it has been
received, wherever produced, in
spirit of thankfulness for the innova-
ton. Scenes and instances of every
day life in great city are herein pre-
sented. To those who are familiar
with city life these features will be
readily recognized and appreciated all
the more. Those who have not visited
the great metropolis can receive a very
realistic object lesson by witnessing the
production of A BoWery Girl A
competent company headed by the
clever artistic, Miss Lillian Keene, in

THE YOUNG PEOPLES UNION.
The oncers Elected at the Meeting sun
day Evening.

1t was a good sized meeting which
gathered at the Park avenue III. E
church Sunday evening to perfect the
organization of the Young Peoples
union. There were fully 300in attend
ance and such enthusiasm as reigned
is not often witnessed. TIE report Of
the committee on organization and
nomination of officers was read and
ratified by the meeting. By this report
the following officers we're named:
President w. SIS Cooper.
Vice President g. lei. Curtis.
Secretary Thomas j. Marx.
Treasurer-G. Spoonholtz.
These officers were all elected. There
was an executive committee provided
for, but the members Of it were not
named. It is to consist Of all the Off
GERS of the city union, the pastors OF
the churches represented in the union
and two representatives from each Of
the societies. The next meeting of the
union will be held at the Baptist church
next Sunday evening, The executive
committee will probably be made UP
at that time.
The objects of this union are of the
most practical character. They take
in everything from the enforcement Of
the laws on the statute books to the
use. of moral suasion in all other things
considered unchristian. 1t is believed
that in times of political excitement
and conventions there will be fine
hand shown concerning the unions de
sires for candidates, at least so some
surmise.

cAvANAGH KNOCKED OUT.
he Is Put to sleep in Eve Rounds For
$500 a side.

The promised prize fight took place,
and there were no authorities OF the
law at hand to say them nay. The
fight took place at $50 a. N. Sunday
in Frank Rogan's barn in the town of
Pleasant Prairie.
The fight had been advertised for a
couple of weeks before hand, and was
to be between Thomas Cavanagh, of
Milwaukee, and jim Davis, of Racine,
for 5000 a side. DAVIS was backed by
the Maroon club of Racine, and CaVa-
nagh by Mike Walsh and Dan Rear
don, of Racine. The fight was one
such as leaves a bad taste in the mouth
of the sports, and many of those who
attended swore that that was the last
fight they would ever attend. Fake
was too tame word for them to use.
They pronounced it rotten, rank and
festerous. A few, to be sure, thought
it fairly good, but they were in the
minority.
The party had been out travelling all
night, lodging the officials, and con-
sequently felt in no condition to fight.
On the trip Davis had had opportunity
to sleep well, but Cavanagh was awake
and was given q couple OF hours of rest
before the battle begun. He was just
about asleep when the battle started
and when it ended in the fifth round
he had gone to sleep sure enough, with
some little assistance from Davis.
Davis had been pretty we'll trained,
but Cavanagh had attempted to train
himself, and though better man than
Davis, he fell victim to the training
three or four men had given Davis.
When the men got together CaVanagh
was found to be a harder hitter than
Davis. His blows were terrific, and
shook the whole anatomy of the Racine
man. He had Davis going in the third
round, but failed, for some reason, to
follow up his advantage. Davis rail-
lied some, and sailed in, finally putting
Cavanagh to sleep in the fifth round.
1t was q pretty warm fight while it
lasted. There was no betting on either
side or man. The gate receipts
amounted to 1913. There were about 200
Racineites and 100 Kenoshans in at
tendance.

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
The wholesale Liquor Dealers Are Trying
10 Go in With Retailers

The following saloon keepers have
gone or are talking of going out of the
saloon business: JOS. Orth, West Mar
ket street; G. w. Nellis, N. Chicago
street; F. w. Boyer, Main street.
Mike Link will sell out to Moder q
Scherer. Althoff & Feiderspeil will
close on Union street, but are trying to
get a place on Elizabeth street near the
Brass mill. To do this they will have
to get petition signed by over half of
the population for two blocks each side
of the saloon, as it is outside of the
licensed district. The saloon at the
corner of Rock and W. Main street will
close and Jaeger Bros. will run their
own place.
There are four or five others who are
undecided, while there are about the
same number who may start new.
Taken altogether it is expected that
Kenosha will be blessed with about five
saloons less after July 6.
There is some talk Of the wholesalers
trying to sell in connection with some
of the saloons, thereby saving their
5000 wholesale license. There is con-
siderable talk among the aldermen as
to whether this is lawful or not and the
city attorney is looking the matter up.
1t will make q difference of about $500
to the city whether the wholesalers
have that privilege or not.

planned reason, Haegle jumped up with
an exclamation and clasped his right
hand over his heart and fell overheard.
He never rose. 1t was evident that he
had been taken with some sort of a
stroke.
The remains were taken in charge
by the Ice company and shipped to

sustains Injury.
The impenetrable darkness on Mar
ket street was the cause of a collision
which did some damage to two car
riages and came near to precipitating
quarrel. Carriage number l was
standing at the right side of the road
close to the curling when carriage
number 2 going west along the right
side of the street, ran against the front
wheel of carriage number ] with sach
violence as to leave both in need of
repairs. The owner of the carriage
near the curb was very excited over
the affair and threatened to make it
warm for the other gentleman, who is
a prominent Main street business man.
But when it came to deciding the
question of blame, he found it difficult
to determine who was the culpabe
one, he or the business man. He had
right to be driving on Market street
at that time, and it was his business tie
keep on the right side; on the other
hand he himself was privileged to tie
his horse at the curb. Together they
decided that the fault lay with the esBy
in not having Market street better
lighted.

Miss Cynthia Mcclellan Has Bad Fall
From Her Wheel.
Miss Cynthia Mcclellan had a very
severe fall from her wheel at about 5
o'clock Saturday afternoon on the Park
avenue pavement in front of John T.
Yule's residence. She had been out
during the afternoon with Dr.. Mae G..
Smith enjoying the beautiful weather
and the good wheeling. It seems that
she is somewhat new to the Vagaries of
the two wheeled steed, and it got out
of control in some way throwing her
against the curbing. Assistance was
soon at hand and two men lifted her
and carried her into Mr. Tule's house,
where she was cared for as well as
possible until a carriage could be had
to take her home in. She was carried
to the carriage By Mr.. Yule, and DR..
Ripley was called for her. He found
her hip dislocated and her body other
wise bruised. All day Sunday and
today she has been in quite a serious
condition. 1t is reported that she is
unable to move or stir in her bed, and
her relatives and friends feel consider
able anxiety concerning her.

chemicals down the chimney which
were caught in a wash dish by one of
the inmates of the house in order to
preserve the carpet. 1t was finally
discovered that the fire was all in the
