DISAPPOINTMENT
IN COTTON MARKET
Scope of Fluctuations at Open
ing Was Narrow
REPORT FROM NEW ORLEANS
Total Amount Brought Into Sight for
the Week Was 10000 Less Than
~ Predicted-Close Was Steady
At an. Advance.

New York, November 1.-THE carly mar-
ket for cotton futures proved very disap-
pointing not only as regards the volume OF
business, but as to lac scope of fluetua-
items The market opened steady, points
higher to points lower. Variations to mid
day did not exceed points and at no tine
could operations have been called active.
lie cables were regarded fair and the
news from the cotton belt was rather bull
fsh.
The chief obstacle in the way of vigorous
speculation seemed to be uncertainty to
the crop movement. Early in the afternoon
p44e market developed considerable strength
and speculative enthusiasm was aroused 10y
report from New Orleans THAT the total
amount brought into sight for the week
reached but $4,000 bales, or 10000 less than
predicted. Shorts sought cover, and prices
were soon up to 10 points from the lowest,
with bulMsh sentiment once more holding
supremacy.
Wall street furnished fair buying orders
and the south purchased the spring and
summer months on a fairly liberal scale.
Other weekly readjusItments of statistics
proved almost equally bullish.
AT the close ehe market was steady at an
advance of 2 to 8 points

Legislature AdjOurns, Disregarding
Governor Cages Message.

Legislature A~djOurns, DisregardinE
Governor Gage's Message.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 19.-At Ills
a. m. today the legislature Of California adj
journed sine die without a United States
senator to succeed Stephen NJ. White hav-
ing been elected. When the hour for ad-
journment was extended from midnight until
II AS this morning at last nights session it
was expressly understood that the sena-
torial matter was settled and that the ques-
ton Of the election of a senator was not to
be preached today.
Nevertheless, just before II o'clock Gov
ernor Gage sent a message to both houses
in which he charged the legislature with
having left It's duty unperformed. In the
message he implored the members to no
longer delay but to proceed to the election
Of a senator at once.
The message was received with cheers In
the assembly, but republicans as we'll as
democrats stated that 1t came too late.
In the senate it was received and read
amid the greatest confusion. Senator Boyce,
a Grant republican, took the floor and in
an excited address moved to lay the mes
sage upon the table. His voice was drowned
In the uproar. When order was restored
Royce renewed his motion, but another mo-
ton was made to have the message printed
In the journal, which prevailed.
At Has a. m, fifteen minute before the
hour that another ballot for United States
senator would have had to be taken, Lieu
tenant Governor Neff's gavel fell and the
Legislature was declared adjourned, after
one OF the longest and most excited sessions
In the history OF the state of California.

FEET SNOW in PARK
Animals I'm In Yellowstone Cannot
Get Usual Food and Many
VIII Die.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Captain Erwin,
acting superintendent Of the Yellowstone
National park, has reported to the Interior
department that the unprecedented fall Of
snow in the park this year unquestionably
will lead to the death Of very many antelope,
deer ana elk before the winter Is over. In
places in the parks now the snow is over
twelve feet in depth and is firmly crushed
everywhere, which prevents these animals
from digging through and obtaining their
food underneath.
This condition of affairs, 1t is expected,
probably will last all this month and per-
haps next. A small appropriation from the
park revenue for buying hay is asked. Many
deer arc now in the immediate neighborhood
OF the military post picking up bits of hay.
The scouts report the elk very weak and
believe that unless steps are taken to feed
them the deaths among them will amount to
thousands. The main herd of buffalo, how
ever, teing in a region OF hot springs that
melt the snow, are getting along fairly we'll.

II DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from n mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young m are SO taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If u young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
hat she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became sc poor that l
had to leave school. / was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with ir~regularity of l was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is q firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtper-
haps they might benefit me and wrote
you for advice. / followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia u. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as 1
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
a good color. / am completely cured OF
irre%pularitv."

LAST WEEK OF The SESSION
Saturday Is the sixtieth Day, Though
Adjournment Will Be Delayed.
MASS OF BUSINESS IS STILL UNTOUCHED
Legislature Will Probably Hold Night
Sessions During the Week to Get
Action on Measures of
Public Importance.

LINCOLN, March 19.--(Special Telegram.)
The legislature will resume work tomor-
row forenoon, and IL is probable that night
sessions will be held during the week. Sat-
urday will be the sixtieth day Of the ses-
sion. but 1t Is not likely that the end Will
come before Thursday or Friday OF next
week.
The salary appropriation bill has not yet
passed the house, but will probably be sent
through tomorrow. The general appropria-
tion bill has not even been considered In
committee Of the whole, and 1t remains for
the new sitting committee to hurry 1t along
or delay 1t as the occasion may warrant.
Some others OF the important appropriation
bills are deep down on the general file OF
the house and may not get through before
the end Of the week. The senate mmi
may demand several days In which to con-
slider these measures and thus prolong the
session.
Yet there will be less reason for this than
In former sessions, as the rule was early
adopted OF furnishing all house files to the
senator's as soon as printed and thus the
printed bills have been before the members
for a long time. The old practice was to
furnish house files to the senators only after
the house had passed the bills. often giving
room for the convenient excuse that more
time must he had because the senators had
not had opportunity TO read the bills over.
The list Of bills placed at the head OF the
file in the house by the sitting committees
report Saturday morning was only touched
In one of the high places during the fore
noon and the only bill to be cleared off the
list was the salary appropriation bill. This
leaves as many at the head of the file as
can possibly be considered tomorrow, but
1t Is probable that during the day the sitting
committee will agree upon a further list OF
favored bills.
One of the measures now soon to be con-
sidered is the legislative apportlonment bill
and it's friends will agree upon a new move,
whereby the legislative districts alone will
be changed, the senatorial apportionment
being left the same as at present. They be-
lieve that the bill as amended will have a
good chance to get through before the ses-
sion comes to an end.

WINSIDE, Neb., March 19.-(Special.)-
Indications are that farming will begin in
earnest in a few days here. Some have al
ready begun fall ~ploughing for the COM
ing crop Of wheat. With the low price of
seed wheat 1t is likely that there will be a
large acreage Of this grain sown in this
Vicinity.
Farms are changing hands every day and
many farmers who have formerly lived or
rented farms are now purchasing land of
their own though they may not get possess
sion of the same before another spring.
There is a marked advance in land prices
over last year, there having been a raise
Of at least SIS per acre on almost all land.
1t Is believed that II there is a good crop
this season-and Wayne county has never
had a failure of ~crops-there will be a still
greater advance. Large bodies Of prairie
land will be broken out this coming sum-
mer and in a few years time there will oe
no raw land and few renters in this neigh
borhoOd.

which is in a strata of coarse gravel and

this one alone provided both large pumps,

the system consisted of thirty-four two-inch

five feet below the surface. The strata of
