BEARS BLIGHT
 PRICES IN COTTON Market Started as Though It
 Would Improve.
 LOCAL BULL CONTINGENT I
Bears Took Advantage of Fact That Outside Orders Failed to Come in-Was Finally Steady
 At Net Gain

New York, July 1S.-At the start this morning of the market it acted as if it was about to do d little better. Tine opening call developed a very steady feeling, with prices unchanged to ? points higher. The immediate cause for the improvement was the stability shown by the English mar ket as compared with what had been eX- pected. At the same time crop news was not of an unevenly favorable quality, all though generally still very good The local bull contingent tried to help the budding improvement, but it was soon blighted by tho efforts of the bears, who took advant- age of the fact that outside orders failed to osne in, and they sold the little that was necessary to turn the market back to last nights figures and dullness
 For the rest of the day the market worked within very narrow changes, and ruled featureless until near the close, when a squirt of covering carried prices rapidly upward, with the maket finally steady at a net gain of 3 to points. There was plen- ty of crop news in circulation but nothing that was really new, and hesitation was as marked on the part of the bull contin- gent as it was on the present more bearisn inclined. The afternoon phases of the mar ket had all the waiting characteristics and was entirely local,

ond infantry, shot as a deserter at sun
rise This was all, and it aroused
fears for the young man. 1t is re-
ported that Hayes became enamored
of a native Filipino woman and that
they were married. Hayes being of a
restless nature probably left the army
to visit the woman.

Who ever heard of 'gooseberries' going

though she felt more like crying.

away her head and speaking over her

Don't punish my thoughtless folly
so cruelty, Hattie. I want you to
answer me-not "a penny"
But Hattie was not to be moved by
entreaties. She produced a penny
from her pocket and balanced it
daintily on her thumbnail
Heads for Hattie, tails, Trouville!"
she said, her eyes dancing with mis-
chief.

Jack.
One, two, three go!' and with
businesslike flip she sent the coin
spinning upward.
Jack held his breath as he watched
it, but she did not catch it deftly, and,
slipping through her trembling fingers
it trundled merrily down the slope to
the river.
"Take care cried Hattie, you'll

Indeed it everything! she re-

''And if it had not turned up heads

A NATIONAL POEM.

Let US recall colonial days,
When DER the seas our fathers
came;
Let all the people sing in praise
OF those who kindled Freedoms
flame.
How brave the hearts that risked their
all
To break the chains of tyranny;
What heroes they who led the call
Through dangers dark to liberty
Behold amid the wilderness
An altar reared, a flag unfurled,
a Nations birth, ordained to bless,
America, the new-found world!
On shields of gold their names en-
grave,
Their valiant deeds commemorate;
Long live the flag our fathers gave!-
Beneath "OId Glory" celebrate.
Though oft by mighty foes defied,
Majestic moves our Ship Of State;
Lo, Commerce comes across the tide
To Eastern mart and Golden Gate.
Our bounty doth the millions feed,
While countless mfllwheels swiftly
turn
And Labor wins her rightful need
Of all her willing hands may earn.
Throughout our land of liberty
To each man give his equal right;
Then everywhere Prosperity
Will shed her warm refulgent light.
The laws of man and laws of God,
Alike should bless both rich and
poor;
Let Justice ply her Christening rod
by palace gate and cottage door.
Columbia! the peoples land
The happy land our fathers found!
Thy name adored from strand to
strand,
Thy fame extolled the earth around.
At Freedoms call thy heroes lead
Such men as framed the Declaration;
Such soldiers as a black race freed,
And gave their lives to save the Ma

CHICAGO EASILY DEFEATS KNOX

Chicago, Sept. 24.-The Chicago uni
versity eleven easily defeated the Knox
college team Saturday in the opening
football game of the season, the score
being 40 to 0. The Chicago team
played a remarkably fast game and
some splendid runs resulted, Hamil
once carrying the ball for touch
down after a run of 1O3 yards. Knox
found Chicago's right side rather weak
and made several good gains.

Milwaukee, Sept 24.-At the annual
meeting of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul Railway company in Milwau-
kee Saturday, Second Vice President
Albert J. Earring was elected president
of the company, vice Roswell Miller,
who was elected chairman of the board
of directors.
Mr.. Miller's retirement from the
presidency was entirelyunexpect out

kee railway. 1t is an exact parallel OF
the change that recently took place IN
The Canadian Pacific, by which Presl-
dent William H. Van Horne became
chairman of the executive board and
Vice President Thomas G. Shaugh-
messy became president. This change
in the organization will relieve Mr..
Miller of a large part of his operative
duties, and confne his duties to the Il
nancial affairs of the company, Wnlle
Mr.. Earring will have absolute charge
of all matters of operation.
Although Mr.. Earring is now the &C
tive head of the company, Mr.. Miller,
it IS announced, will continue to direct
it's policy and it's most important al
fairs. Mr.. Miller desired to be re-
lieyed of some of the responsibility and
routine work. His health is not as
good as it was some years ago. The
organization of the railway is now
similar to that of many large eastern
roads.
The new board of directors remains
the same as last year with the excep-
ton of A. J. Earling of Chicago, elect

The Return.
Walter Allen Rice.

Mr.. SauliuS slowly entered the room.
The servant, in dress suit and white
cravat, had opened the door without
recognizing him. He was a stranger
in this house, which sheltered his wife
and his daughter.
He looked around, agitated in spite
of himself. He recognized the furni-
ture, the large gilded armchairs, the
china vases, the pierglasss which had
so often reflected his image entwined
with that of his wife; the piano, the
large easy-chair, where his little
Queen, then only six or seven, who was
to be married now, had slept in the
chimney corner, weary after her play,
the blonde curls making a halo around
her head.
He sighed.
Ten years had passed since he had
entered this house, since he and his
wife had separated. They had been
divorced foolisbIy.
The reason? A peccadillo, that she
had taken seriously. Both their lives
ruined During this time he had seen
had never seen his wife except one
time, at a distance, in the Bots.
Now that Queen was to be married,
he came to lead her to the altar. The
room was filled with flowers, white
roses, and boughs of lilacs. The we'd
ding presents were placed on a table
in a corner of the room.
Mr.. Saulius turned around at the
sound of footsteps. His wife stood be-
fore him.
She was only little changed. The
features were a trife sharper, and the
hair, formerly a golden brown, was
now mixed with threads Of silver, but
her figure had remained slender, and
her eyes were still bright.
He bowed tremendously; she re-
turned the salutation, and, offering
him a chair, said:
Queen is almost ready; she will be
here in a moment"
He seated himself. They began to
talk upon different subjects. Then
the scenes of their former life passed
before their eyes. At first smiling,
joyous, brilliant with changing colors,
illuminated by the sun, then sad,
gloomy, dull, and wretchedly dreary.
Evoked by the circumstances that
caused them to meet again-they both
recalled the day when they were mar
ried, and, Mrs. Saulius, turning her
head suddenly, said almost involun-
tarily:
LET us hope that Queen will be
happier than her mother She is good
and gentle An unhappy marriage
would kill her."
She stopped abruptly, regretting the
words.
Mr.. Saulius looked at her sadly and
replied:
yes"
''Mr. Guersac is a charming man, y
he said again, after awhile. HE loves
Queen dearly. 1 hear only the most
favorable reports of him. One can
only reproach him (if it be reproach)
with his lack of fortune But the SCI
thing of a young girl whose parents are
divorced is always difficult"
YES" said Mrs. Saulius sadly, 1--WE
have no right to be too exacting."
There was another silence, then Mr..
Saulius said:
'You will feel lonely now"
She bowed her head.
However, you will be able to see her
every day, as she will continue to live
in the neighborhood."
cit will not be the same. My home
will not be her home she said.
A cry of reproach escaped him.
What have I suffered then? I, who
have seen her but once a month for
the last 10 years!"
"I have never denied you the privi-
1ege of seeing her." she replied.

THE INTERsTATE LEAGUE

Yesterday Jack Glasscock and Sammy
Nichols, who are hustling for the Inter-
state base ball franchise in this city, and
who have good substantial backing re-
ceived the following official communica-
ton from C. B. Power, which explains
itself. Both Glasscock and Nichols are
more than competent to give Wheeling
good ball. and their many friends wish
them every success:
'PITTSBURG. Pa, January II. 1899.
Dear Sir:-When l issued the call for a
meeting of the Interstate league for jan
uary II. / had every reason to believe
that certain matters now pending in the
National and Western leagues would be
definitely settled.
Il learn now that no decided action will
be taken for several days, and l deem it
wise to postpone the Interstate league
meeting until such time as base ball af-
fairs generally become more settled.
Doubtless members VIII see the wisdom
of such action. A brief postponement
cannot possibly do any harm, but may re-
suit in much good.
''At this time it is impossible to say
when the meeting will be held, but L have
reason to believe we can get together be-
fore the close of the present month.
VERY respectfully,
SO r POWER -
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-01-13

The mover of the resolution was En-
nest Schnitzler The resolution was
the outcome of a speech delivered
by Rev. H. S. Widdemer, a prominent
Episcopal clergyman. What influence
the Board of Trades action will have
is a mere conjecture. Sporting men
contend that prize fighters bring thou
sands of dollars into the city. The
argument of the anti-prize lighters IS
that the city has lost a, barrel OF money
on account of the pugilistlc class who
have been located here.
John Jenkins was badly hurt in his
go with Buck StelZer, at Blocks Opera
House, Springfield, O., Tuesday night.
In the sixth round Jenkins rushed Stel-
ger across the ring, when the latter
stopped and led with his left for Jen-
kins chin. AS the latter blocked him
he swung his right and landed the
blow that caused Jenkins TO stop.
Jenkins claimed he hit him in the
groin, and claims a foul. He did not
fall, but tried to sit down, and as Stel-
ger rushed upon him he rose and fought
him Off After Stelzer had been led to
his corner Jenkins turned and fell to
the floor. His seconds were unable to
revive him, and DR.. Smith was called.
He examined him as he lay in the ring,
and stated that he was badly injured.
