A.N ELECTION STRAW.

~ straw vote was polled on North
western train between Clinton and Ce-
dar Rapids last Tuesday which
showed how Overwhelming is the sem
timent in favor of reelection of Me-
Kinley TO the presidency The passen-
gers were such miscellaneous lot as
- usually found on local passenger
and One car was filled entirely with
+ gang OF lahorers coming out to work
/: on the road. The result OF the vote
showed a majority OF III for the repub-
lslican ticket. There are very few peo-
4 pie who care to take the chances of a
change In the policy of our govern
sment. The conditions could hardly be
{ bettered and We have known within
!. the last eight years such hard times
4 as we do not care to see again.

The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York, Dec. l2.-The cotton mar
ket made long stride toward recovery
of the late severe decline today. At
the start weak Liverpool caoles, large
foreign selling orders, later receipts
than expected and liquidation gave the
market an easy undertone and forced
prices off | to 10 points. After Il slight
additional decline the market quietly
steadied on room profit taking. by IL
O'Clock the undertone was bordering on
hrmnesS. with prices back to last
nights final bids.
The market continued to exhibit sunl-
cient strength to make bears suspicious
of sharp upturn. Smaller estimates
than expected for to- morrow's receipts
mt New Orleans and Houston caused n
squirt of heavy general buying and
prices rushed upward until net rise
OF 1902 points was established Not
u few traders Joined forces with the
bulls after having covered over sales.
while the warehouses came into posses
sion OF numerous buying orders from
parties who have fought shy of the
market for long time, The near
months were the strongest on the list.

New York on which shorts could count
to make deliveries on contract, and the
fact that the local market IS so far
below a parity with other markets that

o'clock as easily aud peacefully as a
tired child goes to sleep.
Dot M. Cusser, was the adopted
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Wright,
OF Greenville, was born there 26 years
ago the 7th OF last month. She came
to Bedding a little more than seven
years ago and for two years was as
slstant bookkeeper in the Office OF the
Hall Bros. Mfg. Co., as it was then.
AT the end of that time she left to
assume the higher and nobler duty of
wife to w. Lee Cusser, the present as
sistant cashier of the Peoples Savings
Bank. Their married life has been a
happy one only marred by the one
shadow, her health. The bereaved
husband will have one consolation in
his sorrow, he done what he could,
and has no vain regrets to mourn over
now. The number of their friends are
only limited to the number that knew
them, and all deeply sympathize with
him, in this great loss.
The funeral services will be held
from the home on Bridge street, this
afternoon at 2:30, Rev. Staley conduct
ing them, and the burial In the River
Ridge cemetery.
Beautiful flowers in great profusion
have been sent by friends, until one
room is nearly filed. Their sweet per-
fume being emblematic of the sweet
ness of her character and life, fragile,
delicate, yet giving pleasure and hap
piness to all about her.
