Marked Falling off in Specula-

Switching a Feature of
Outside Account
WEAK CABLES PREVAlEN I

New York, October 16.-There was
marked failing off in speculative interest
in professional cotton circles, as well as
among outside investors today. The market
needed only weak cables to send prices
downward on the call and to keep longs
ina nervous state throughout the session.
But while sentiment was momentarily
bearish, the market kept all its bullish fea-
lures suoa as light receipts, firm southern
markets, strong cloth markets and con-
trasting crop estimates. The movement
from the ports to Europe reached un-
usual figure today, over $4,000 bales being
cleared. Total port receipts were $4,000
bales less than on the same day last year.
On the opening prices went off 245 points
and after slight rally covering broke
heavily. The late market showed hesita-
ton both sides with the disposition
about equal to even up rather than to ex-
tend commitments.
OF the business done for outside account
switching was feature, the near months
being exchanged for the late spring and
summer positions. Wall street displayed a
waiting policy. On The downward move
ment a number of stop orders We're reach
ed Tie market closed Barely steady with
prices Gull points net lower.

POSTAL ROBBERS CAPTURED
Formidable Organized Gang of Mail
Thieves COrraled and Much
Booty Recovered.

A dispatch from Ell Reno, Oklahome g.,
says: The biggest organized band of
postal robbers apprenended in late
years was taken in today by Postoffice
Inspectors Beebe and Styce, assisted by
Deputy United States Marshals
Fosse,t and Tilghman, of Oklahoma
district. The robbers are ten in num-
Der and had most perfect organization
and understanding as to the method
of robbery and disposal of plumber.
They are: j. E. Robertson, Sr.. AID
son, Albert Robertson, sub-con-
tractors; M. E. Robertson, G. E.
Robertson and J. II. and Tom Essecks,
stage drivers. They covered star
routes from Ell Reno to Arapahoe,
port to Cloud Chief, seventy-five miles
southwest, and supplied more than 100
offices. Robberies were carefully prear-
arranged and systematically carried
out and have been executed since Oc-
tober 10, 1898.
The first complaint was made to In
spector Beebe. January 10, by the post
master at Ell Reno and, after prelimin-
ary Investigation, Inspector Styce was
detailed to assist. The United States
marshal detailed two famous deputies,
Fossett and Tilghman, and during
the last three days they closed
in on the gang, capturing all of them
and recovering about $1,000 worth of
merchandise, including seventy-6ve
silk dress patterns, about 500 silk hand
kerchiefs, clothing, toys, shoes, gloves
and all manner of mailable articles.
The stuff was found concealed through
four counties in dugouts and canons in
the Caddo Indian country.
For three days inspectors and mar
shals have endured dreadful weather.
dri7ing night and day in raging
blizzard, fording frozen rivers, and
once narrowly escaping drowning in
the icy waters of Deer creek, many
miles from habitation. Their trip,
while entailing great suffering, was
entirely successful. and they are re-
ceiving deserved credit for their skill
and courage.

Geo. Curry passed through here
Thursday on his way to Santa Fe. We
understand the captain will not be re-
luctant to take the appointment of
sheriff for the new county
OF OterO. In fact he
ia considered a strong candidate.
1t is also rumored that A. J. Papen
has cast longing glance or SO in that
direction. OF course, the latter is the
best joke of the season to date. U. S.
Shepherd, an east end business man, is
named as candidate for probate clerk
OF the new county, and Peter Nicols, a
prominent republican, as a commits
sioner. Dame Rumor also has it that
Frank Otis, the present clerk of the
Mescalero Indian agency, is strongly
urged for probate clerk; that D. M.
Sutherland will have his choice of pro-
bate judge, probate clerk or county
comm issioner; that W. S. Shepherd is
costing longing glance at the school

"TENNESSEE'S pARDNER"
Was Presented Saturday Night to
Cold and Cherries Audi


"Tennessee's Pardner' at the opera
house Saturday night was prese nted
by an exceptionally capable company
to fair sized, though cold and unres-
pOpsive audience.
The audience was probably what
might be termed in bOxoffice parlance
$500 house. A large mum Der of seats
in the dress circle and parquet were
occupied but there was ample room for
many more spectators.
Since its appearance in Ell Paso last
season the company presenting the de-
lightful melo drama. Tennessee 3
Pardner" has improved wonderfully in
acting or else exchanged few of the
least capable actors for better ones.
The play as presented Saturday night
was an excellent performance in every
respect and each of the
cast is worthy of favorable
mention. Unfortunately Ell Paso was
in the clutches of the blizzard at about
the hour that the curtain went up and
braved the cold and attended suffered
during the performance on account OF
the deficient heating arrangements of
the opera house. A red not stove near
the entrance was intended to heat the
entire building, but in that
it utterly failed, AID thos
who occupied seats more than two
seats from the red hot furnace were
visibly affected throughout the per-
, Torrance by the icy blasts that swept
across the room each time door swung
open. The audience wore overcoats
and wraps indoors bnt despite that
precaution constantly shivered
and forgot to applaud. AT
| the best the draughts that con-
stantly sweep through the opera house
are menace to the health of those
who attend the plays, but Saturday
night the frigid temperature of the in
terror of the theater was simply
abOminable and it is the duty of the
management to see to it that no such
outrage is perpetrated upon the
patrons of the opera house again.
