ARRANGED OF TREASON
Because He Signed a Drug
gist's Whisky Petition.

Olathe, Kan, Feb. I-At a mass-meet-
ing Of the fellow-citizens held in this city,
John P St John. the ex-prohibition gov
ernor, was roundly denounced for signing
whisky petition. Governor ST. John en-
deavored to defend himself. but was ques-
toned sosharply that he was compelled 10
retreat under fire. The demonstration
which followed was one of the iveliest
ever witnessed in Olathe, the centre ten
years ago of the original package" ex-
element.
Tire elocal druggists had filed petitions
with the probate judge asking for per-
mission to sell liquor. The law requires
the signatures of twenty-five men and a
like number OF women of the ward in
which the drug store is TO locate. One of
the druggists secured Ex-Governor St.
John to sign his petition. This stirred up
the w c. 7. L. and a mass meeting was
called. The church was crowded. Sena-
tor Parker, the first speaker. called upon
st. John 10 explain why he, so able and
prominent a leader and temperance advo-
cate. had after so many years of ppohi-
bition in the city, signed the first petit
ton to permit the selling of whisky.
Mr.. st. Johns explanation was that he
wanted liquor sold legally by the drug
gists. In an instant the house was in an
uproar and heated questions were thrust
at the prohibitionist champion from every
quarter of the house. The questions fin
ally came so thick and fast that no an
swers could be given and the ex-governor
retired.
Judge Hindman delivered a heated
speech declaring that upon such Ques-
tons the W. c. T. L. had always been
right and that at this time he could fol-
low under their wise leadership instead of
following the ''inexcusable course" of st.
John. At this utterance veritable storm
of applause broke forth. Others could. not
wait, but arose and emphatically protest.

Primaries Preferred.
From the Union Springs Herald.

From the Union Springs Herald.
 We have not yet noticed a single paper calling for the convention. All seem to be in favor of the old style primary in which each individual has the privilege of cast ing his vote for the person or persons be- fore the people for office. Of course to a greater or less extent each voter has the same privilege when convention is to be held, for he votes for the delegates who compose the convention but after these delegates have been chosen, the individual voter has no power over combinations, trades, and the like which are sure to ma- terialize when the convention assemblies. The democratic primary is the thing. It reaches throughout every beat in county. It gives fairness strictly. As a general thing the people better understand its workings, than they do a convention. Bull lock county is primary county.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 1.-The cotton market was very quiet again today. but prices were a shade better. There was no disposition to trade aggresslvely on either side, and outside operators were doing little. Liv- erpool declined 1z-64th, and the operating here were practically unchanged. In the early trading selling orders predominated and the market eased a little after the opening but in the afternoon the lightest kind of business the market hardened and a small gain for the day was established. May opened at 6.02, declined to 6.01, rallied to 6.O5. and closed at GOA to 6.O5, with the tone of the market steady. The Maine dis aster still unsettles the speculative mar kets. The feeling here is friendly to cot ton but we see little on which to base the hope of any permanent advance just now

 Birmingham, Ala, Feb. H-Foreign mar kets did not fully respond to our advance of yesterday and appeared to have little faith in the advance, however the opening in Chicago was wild, little attention was paid to foreign cables or receipts. Trades were all bulls and offerings were taken re- gardless of prices, stop loss orders were difficult to execute. Opening sales on May delivery was from 105k, liberal liquidation took place at the advance. It was sup posed the bull crowd sold during the early part of the session, however the demand from shorts and outside account continued literally during the first two hours. After this demand was filled prices gradually eased off about Sc from the opening price. Fluctuations today have been wild and cratic, the bull crowd continue to keep the trade in a nervous condition, owing to

In w ail street.


 New York, Feb. 1.-The most important fact in connection with toiay's stock mar kot was that the heavy Mquidation was not resumed. There was aggressive pressure by the bears at times, but they refrained from leaving their contracts open and their covering before the close brought prices back to near the high level of the day. Net gains resulted fractional for the most part, but extending to a poirBb ln some cases.
 Quotations received from London showed th5 prices of Americans there substantially above the closing prices here last night, but thau simply meant that declines from yesterdays London closing had not fully reached yesterday afternoons heavy de- chimes here. The buying in London, which serveA to sustain prices was on eabled orders from New York and represented the covering of shorts put out in this mar ket. The opening was at or above the London, but prices yielded Immediately after the opening on Hquidating sales through commission houses. Support was forthcoming before they fell to last night 5 close and the market rallied but fell to the lowest before noon on the disquieting ports emanating from Key Vest that evil dence had been discovered to show that the Maine had been destroyed by a torpedo explosion outside the city. Prices were then carried substantially below last night s close but the subsequent rally indicated that the sales were largely by the bears who were not sure of their position. In fact, the whole days market reflected doubtful frame of mind on the part of the speculative public and disposition to pur- sue waiting policy.
 YeterdaSys increase in the Burlington dividend rate and the final steps towards the purchase of the Kansas Pacific by the Union Pacific reorganization committee, which were quite lost sight of yesterday, had a favorable effect today.
 The doubtful condition of the speculative mind was reflected in periods of intense dullness during the day.
 The bond market showed weakness in sympathy with the midday break in stocks, but closed strong and generally higher than last night Total sales $3,500,0o0.

Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Paine. Murphy & Go.
 Birmingham, Ala, Feb. H.-London prices come higher today and put a damper on the bears here later this contingency had what is generally believed some off, cial news that divers had discovered that a torpedo destroyed the Maine This caused renewed selling around the noon hour and declines of from F to 3 per cent were made. Conservative people argue even if this be true 1t is necessarily a cause for war. The market later had good support and prices rallied, dividend payers advancing to open ing prices. Underlying facts 'are stubborn things. London as well as the warried interest in America believe in American securities and are picking up stock on all declines. Theadeclaration of Chicago. Bur- lington and Quincy on per cent basis is a good argument for other increases and helped to steady prices Although condi- tions are complicated we cannot turn bear ish on the market.
