Birmingham, July N.-While the Liver
pool advices showed q slight gain over last
night, the news vas not up to eXpecta-
ton, hence our market opened to points
lower being further helped by the large
number of August notices. 1t Is said one
house issued over $1,000 bales. These no
tees forced some further liquidation an
August, and transfers to latter months, re-
sulting in a rise of about points, helped
by reports of further rains. Later prices
receded to the opening. with the diffec-

A Mcther's Strange Conduct.

From the Kansas City Star, Dec. 10.
Sheriff G. f. Prange, of Erie, Neo
sho county, Kas., came to Kansas
City today and caused the arrest Of
Mrs. Eleanor Lutz, who is charged
with abandoning her four children
there. Mrs. Lutz's husband was a
well-to-do farmer there, who killed
himself with shotgun year ago.
He left her the farm and $4,000 in
money from life insurance. Three
weeks ago she lett the four children,
leaving three of them on the farm.
and the. oldest, girl of IA, in Cha
mute. She came to Kansas City and
found work in Swofford Bros. factory.
She has been living at 202 Indepen-
dence avenue. She says she had no
Intention of abandoning her children.

A BRICK.

We are informed by member Of
The Chanute Prospecting Co. that
contract has been made by this COM
pany with Mr.. McCrady for pros
pect we'll to be put down at once on
the MCGOWAN land and that he is ex-
pected on the ground with his ma
chinery at any time now.
We are also il formed that this COM
pany will begin burning brick just as
soon as things can be got IN proper
shape.
This assures us two good brick
plants at least in the early spring
The Prospecting co. will not at pres
ent make vitHfied brick but will con.
fine themselves to building brick.
They claim to have abundance of
shale right on top of the ground and
are not afraid of any competition.
The two local companies thus will
not come in competition but can work
harmoniously together, as we under
stand the other company organized to
put in a plant on the Wickard farm,
south of town, will make vitrified
brick.
We are heartily glad to see these
two companies get started. They
will help build up Chanute and will,
doubtless, make good returns on the
money invested. Still there is plenty
of room for more.
With our immense shale beds and
endless supply of gas and the insati-
ate demand for brick two or three
more big plants could be profitably
started here. There is no possible
danger of OVERRIDING the brick busi-
ness in this country. There is no
place in the United States where the
quality of brick can be made that the
gas region of Kansas furnishes for
less than twice the money that it
costs to make them here.
We practically have no competition
and the whole country Is looking to
us for It's supply, There are scores Of
school houses and public buildings in
Kansas alone that were under con-
tract to be completed last fall but
could not he because our shale brick
could not be secured and soft brick
would not be accepted. Capital need
not be afraid of the brick business in
the gas region.
Cherryvale with her three plants
can hardly get brick to build flue.
The largest plant there is now five
months behind with orders. Hurry
up gentlemen and make us some brick
our streets and sidewalks need few
million right now.
