the mature age of 40 years, came

years. Sig Simon's was made

left in waiting while Mr. Barnes
procured a marriage license and q
parson. His return was made

ing of their maneuvers, the cere-
mony which made Mr.. Barnes and
Miss Christian man and wife had

The cotton buyer has had but
little to do for the past week but
his business is beginning to pick
up again. There were about fifty
bales of cotton on the streets Fri
day and twice that number yester-
day. 1t is noticeable that none of
it remains on the street for any
length Of time: the buyers are
eager and trades are closed quickly.
The cotton crop is now practically
all marketed and the jovial buyer
will seek some other employment
or else 60 into winter quarters.
Ardmore cannot 90 far beyond the
2. ZOO bale mark this season and
we are all disappointed, for we are
accustomed to handling more than
twice this number Of bales. Had
the same crop prevailed this year
that did last, Ardmore would GER
tainly have broken the record in
cotton receipts. Every farmer will
tell you that cotton is cut third
short, and much lower in many in
stances one of which we will take
the liberty to mention. Green De
Priest, successful farmer near
Brock, had in eight acres of cotton
and gathered from it only SOC
pounds.
| Taking these figures as a basis il
is readily seen that Ardmore' S
trade territory is being extended.
Reasoning last year from the same
standpoint we made the same as
sertion in these columns and its
truth is self-evident.
In the face of these facts our
merchants and business men are
hopeful. In business reasonably
well managed in Ardmore there is
no occasion for failure.
| When the cotton crop is ex-
hausted, the grain market will re-
ceive a stimulus. There were or
the streets yesterday dozens of loads
Of sacked oats which sold readily
at 21I cents. a higher price thar
has been paid before this season
There is always a market for corr
and the shortness of the cottor
crop will put more than the usua
, amount of this cereal on the mar
? ket.

Street Cars Stoned in C~Ieveland-Two Bad
Collisions Yesterday.
CLEVELAND, o., July "a town
bound Scranton avenue car was ston-
ed about 5 o'clock this morning on
Scranton avenue, under the Abbey

near by threw stones and other mis-
sizes. All the windows in the car were
broken, but none of the passengers
were injure.
At 10 o'clock this morning a rear
end collision between two west-bound
Jennings avenue cars occurred at the
corner of Clark avenue and Pearl
street. The rear car, which was man
ned by a non-union crew, had its YES
thule badly wrecked and the car ahead
was slightly Damaged. No one was hurt.
AT about the same time at Marvin
and Pearl streets a Scoville avenue car
with a new crew struck a wagon be-
longing to Gideon. the grocer, which
was trying to cross the track. The
driver escaped unhurt, but the horse
was so badly injured that it had to be
killed.

Candidate Scott's Campaign Methods Do
Not Suit Republican Politicians.
Special to the Register.
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, July s.
Robert 2. Scott, the Cadiz inventor and
millionaire manufacturer, who aspires
to succeed Capt. Danford in Congress
from this district, opens up his cam
paign by the issuing of a circular letter
in which he advocates novel views for
a man who would like to be nominated
and elected to Congress as he attacks
Doodle methods. He says the death of
Captain Danford preeipitated the con-
test upon him at a time when he was
unprepared to make the canvass. He
says he has learned that it takes a large
sum of money to make a campaign for
Congress, and also promises of office
to men in order to get them to work for
a candidate. He says: After mature
consideration | have concluded to
neither promise any Office or pay any
body anything" and he will let the cost
of publishing his letters and travelling
expenses comprise his obligations. He
says it is generally accepted that mon
ey in politics is a curse and a danger
to our republican institutions, and the
people who hold these views are posi-
tive it is no use to look for political
preferment without the lavish and cor
rupt use of money. He prefers to stay
at home to being elected by the Doodle
class, and he feels sure now that he has
taken this position he is sure of staying
at home. He says the voters insult
themselves by saying that money is
needed in a political canvass. He ends
his letter with this: ITO the demand
that l must put UP Doodle, | answer,
sirs, l yietl no quarter to any mob"
The politicians term Scott "grouchy."

THE TEXAS FLOOD.
Hundreds of Bridges Washed away
Nine Dead bodies Recovered Rail
roades Tied Up.

AUSTIN, Tex, July 3.-Reports from
up and down the BraZos river valley to
moor to-day indicate that the food is
holding it's own. 1t is now figured out
that there are over 400 county bridges
and about $50 railroad bridges swept
away in the food.
News from Eagle Lake, Harris coun-
ty, directly in the path of the flood, is
that thousands of acres of growing to-
bacco which escaped the flood until yes
terday are now covered and that it will
prove a total loss. There are nine lives
reported lost at Eagle Lake and the
surrounding country though no names
can be secured. In Mcclellan county
alone the loss will be one million dol
lars. Noon reports from Southwestern
Texas are to the effect that heavy rains
there have swollen the G~uadeloupe and
Lower Colorado, and they are spread
ing all over the country again. By
means of building much temporary
trestle work and operating trains slow
ly some of the trunk lines are moving
a few trains, but most of the railroad
business in Texas is still tied up and
will be for another week, as the rains
continue to fall, giving little evidence OF
cessation of the high waters.
AUSTIN, Tex, July 3.-For several days
Texas throughout it's central and western
portions has been visited by daily rain
falls. The rain continued to-day, and re-
ports from as far south as Nueces county
report that everything is being flooded
afresh by the continued rainfall. That
section of the State, however, will not suf-
fer nearly as much loss as the Brazos
bottoms, for the reason that the water
can spread out over the low country much
more rapidly than in the Brazos country,
and II it is not so generally cultivated.
Reports from all along the Brazos bot
toms show that the waters are still very
high, and the fact hat every section of
the State continues to be visited by rain
falls makes the situation look extremely
gloomy. The reports Of the total damage
to county, railroad and personal property,
as well as to crops, continue to come in,
and tonight it is figured out that it will
amount to $5,00O.0O The railroads of the
State are making strenuous efforts to re-
pair their washed-out tracks, but are max
ing little Roadway, due to the fact that the
waters continue on such a rampage that
work is seriously interfered with. Some
travellers in from the southern portion of
the State to-day state that travel has been
blocked there since Tuesday, and they
come through yesterday on a track that
for the greater part of its way was either
under water or so soggy that the train
could only move at a snails mace, and no
further attempt will be made to operate
roads in that section unAl tie waters re-
cede. 1t is generally estimated that the
death list by reason of the flood will reach
thirty. Those who persisted are negroes.
and the exact number of fatalities will
probably never be known

vile, New Albany & Chicago Railway
Company and its successor, the Chi
cago, Indianapolis & Louisville Rail-
way Company, and others, asking for a
receiver.
Col. st. John Boyle represented the
bank. The complaint alleges that the
recent reorganization of the Monon

for the purpose of preventing the col
lection or enforcement of the guarantee

a fraudulent agreement for the purpose
of cutting out the debts held by these
guaranteed bondholders, and that the

apolis was misled and deceived in
granting the decree.

decree be set aside and a receiver ap>
pointed.
