ing the matter with Bryan thi-
fall. In evidence Of this We sub
init the following figures on cotton
receipts; Up to 3 p. IN. Saturday.
September %, 1899, Bryan's total
cotton receipts by wagons at the
various yards aud warehouses foo'
up li,l0l, bales. The Nayasots
Daily Examiner Of Saturday gives
the total receipts Of Navasota ur
10 the same hour on the same date
@ p. m, Sept. "a, 1897 as 900
bales, showing a difference in favor
Of Bryan of 1871 bales this season.
Bryan received last season up to
Saturday Sept. "a, 1898, II ,5S6
bales or only 435 bales more than
we have received this season in the
face of the food and drouth con
ditions.
Again the correspondent is in
error in asserting that a farm
err cannot sell his own cotton
in Bryan, but must pay some
one TO sell il for him. The
fact is that any farmer has the
choice of selling his cotton in
Bryan personally if he wants to,
and some Of them do so, but the
excellent system Of handling cot.
ton in general effect here is 50
much more satisfactory and free
from any trouble whatever that
few of them ever desire to sell
their own cotton. Many Of our
merchants advertise broadly the
selling of cotton free of charge, and
the man who comes to Bryan need
not pay a cent for having his cot
ton sold.
On arriving in Bryan with cot.
ton the farmer drives TO a ware.
house or cotton yard and has his
cotton weighed and sampled, the
weigher giving him a receipt and
sample for each bale, which he has
the choice Of taking to the cotton
buyer direct, and if satisfied with
the price, he closes the deal and
gets his money. Ii he is not sat
isfed and thinks il worth more
than has been offered he can go to
other buyers and get bids, and il
still in doubt as to whether he i,
getting the top price he can turn
the sample over to his merchant
and have il sold without charge or
held for better prices, rs he may
desire, the only expense in the
whole transaction being Is cent?
for sampling and weighing. Th'
advantage ofthis latter plan, which
is chiefly in use here, are so APP
parent that they may be seen at =
glance. Many of the merchants
are as expert cotton men as til,
professional buyers; they get til,
markets by wire and are away
IN a position TO sell cotton to tn,
very best advantage, the iarme
being at absolutely no trouble afle
turning the sample over to hi
merchant, That this system i
understood and appreciated by tn,
people of this section of the stat,
is indicated by the fact that Bryan
received nearly $1,000 bale, Of cot
ton last season, and has forge,
ahead Of all rivals again this sea
son.

People Killed.

Omaha. June 14.-A tornado that

train from Sioux City passed through
the place not long after the storm, and

lying in the streets. The fatalities
will undoubtedly run up to half a hun

supplies. Wires are all down north OF
Herman, and 1t Ia not known how
much further north the storm went,
but reports are coming into the effect
that large portion of country north
Of Herman is laid waste. The entire
Sastern portion of Nebraska was swept
by terrific rain. wind and slsotris
storm. The streets Of Omaha are
flooded.
Additional advices received state
that every building In Herman Is de-
stroyed except the public school and
small dwelling, both Of which are
on the outskirts. The force Of the
wind was terrific. as scarcely one
piece Of any Of the many structures
destroyed was left intact. The wreck
