A t1 IMPROVEMENT IN
 COTTON MARKET. The Advance Was Largely Due to Better Cables. II WAS AT NO TIME WEAK Though Announcements Indicated AL most Perfect Weather in the Cot ton Belt, Was Hard to Arouse Bullish Enthusiasm
1T WAS AT NO TIME WEAK

New York, April 27.-The cotton market was not so narrow today, working within a range of 10 points after opening un- changed to points higher The improve ment was largely due to better cables, the Liverpool market closing 1@2 points high CT, while there was some foreign buying and, for a time, brisk local covering. Later, however, the market became easier as public support was not a factor, while crop accounts were conflicting. The mar ket was not at any time weak But it was hard to create any bull enthusiasm with the official announcements indicating al- most perfect weather for the belt. During the morning Wall street sold the smaller months against purchase of decline and January. During the afternoon the room traders were in control, but just before the close speculation picked up and prices forged ahead rapidly on a furry of buying for both accounts based on rumors of bal weather in southwestern Texas. The close was firm at a net advance of 4QlO points.
 New York, April 2I.-Cotton quiet; mid ding 13-16c; net receipts S90; gross re- ceipts SS6; stock 112,040.
 Total today: Net receipts 5,254; exports to Great Britain 4,553; exports to the con- tinent 250; stock 4523T.

The post mortem examination held
Friday afternoon on the body of Mrs
Mary Elliott who died Thursday more
ing showed no signs Of poison. Mrs
Alice Hellor, a niece of Mrs. Elliott re-
ported to the coroner and sheriff that
Mrs. Elliott had died under peculiar cir
cumstances. None of the neighbors who
knew Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott place any
credence in the story that she was slow
Iy poisoned.
William Elliott, the husband of the
dead woman is an elderly man who
has money enough to live on. He is
quiet and gentlema1ly- The neighbors
all say that he took the best of care
of Mrs Elliott through her long sick
ness and furnished her with all she
needed to make her as comfortable as
possible.
The coroner's inquest was held this
afternoon at 1:30 O'Clock at the under
taking rooms of Shellabarger & Son, in
North Topeka. The first witness placed
on the stand was Mr.. Elliott
Mr. Elliott said: My wife had
Brights disease. For a long time she
was not able to do her household du-
ties She has always been an invalid,
but kept up her work until she became
too sick 1 cared for her, and had the
doctor to see her whenever it was nee
essary. She never made the remark to
me that she was an expense to me, and
might as we'll be dead. She did not
say she would take poison if would
give it to her"
Mrs. Alice Hillor. the niece, who no
titled Coroner HOgeboOm that the death
was mysterious, and that there should
be an inquest, was the second witness.
She said:
Mrs Elliott told me her husband
was getting tired Of her and that If he
would get her a dose she would take it
L have nothing against Mr.. Elliott. As
far as 1 saw he was always kind to her
She told me that MI Elliott said she
was an expense and a burden She told
me once that Mr.. Elliott was very KIND
and gave her a seidlitz powder. asked
her if he drank Of it and she said no
She said if she was to die suddenly nc
one would suspetc Mr.. Elliott"
! Mrs. Newly, with whom the Elliotts
| boarded for some time, said; Mr.. Ell

way and took the best Of care of her
| He was more attentive to her than any
man I ever saw. never heard her say

OVER A MILLION PAID.
What People of Kansas Pay For Fire
Insurance

The annual report of the Kansas in
surance department was completed by
the printer today.
Perhaps the most important fact
which presents itself before this de-
partment " says Mr. Church, lis re-
vealed through an examination of re-
ports which show material reduction
in fire insurance premium rates A
comparison of these rates, as between
1888 and 1899, is both interesting and
gratifying. 1 submit the actual figures
as taken from the sworn statements of
the several fire companies doing bust
ness in the state:
Risks written in 1898, S147, 500. 149;
premiums paid, 81, 768, 919. Average rate
for 1898, $1-1S $40
Risks written in 1899. s1Ss, IA, 731 !:
premiums paid. 81. 949, 091. Average rate
for 1899, $1-06 3-16. Decrease in rate for
1899, 10 $40 cents.
Applying this decrease in rate to the
total amount of business written in 1899
there is shown an actual saving of
$Z4S, 4S4. 81. In other words had the
rates remained the same as they were
in 1898, the same amount Of insurance
would have cost, in round numbers. a
quarter of a million dollars more than
II actually did cost 1t is reasonable IN
presume that this reduction in the cost
OF insurance has made 1t possible for a
larger number of our citizens to pro
vide against the ravages of fire In anv
event, Kansas people carried fire pro-
lection In 1899, in excess of their protec-
ton IN 1888. to the extent of $35.442 .5S2.
Life insurance companies of outside
states, authorized here. wrote insurance

amount of IS, eS5. S91. an increase Owe,

village street, What does this mean? /

And so 1 was replied the reverend
gentleman, I had an attack of indiges-
ton and from that time on my whole
system has been in a disordered condi-

and cured all my stomach troubles. -

This same medicine cured my wife of
rheumatism and my little girl of scTO-

Yes, yes. so they do replied the
minister. and the two passed on.

New York, Feb. l2.-The New York
Sun publishes the following:
London, Feb. l2.--It is nearly year
since trouble for Egypt and England with
the black troops of the Soudan was pre-
dicted. 1t has come at last and the out
look admittedly causes anxiety. The Of
fetal censor has been playing havoc with
newspaper dispatches and the full truth
is not likely to be known until letters get
here from Khartoum. Thanks to the cen
sor the Soudan may be full OF rebellion be-
fore the British public receives any warn
ing. Kitchener always admitted that there
was danger in recruiting the Soudan army
largely from ex-dervishes, but as sol
der he thought it little less than a sin
not to avail himself of the best fighting
material ON the spot and he believed the
British of course would be able to manage
the AIahommedan troops of Soudan nj
least as well as they had always done in
India.
AS a second string he relied on the 10y
atty OF the purely Egyptian troops. To the
latter end he discouraged intimate rela
tions between Egyptian and soudanes'
soldiers. He forbade all men to marry wo
men not OF their own race and encouraged
rivalry between the chiefs Of leading Sou
danese troops.
| Now it is said the Egyptian troops art
taking the lead in this incipient muffin!
and the dervishes are displaying an un
welcome tendency TO forget past feud
and to coalesee against their white su
periors.
| Had Kitchener remained in the Souda'
he doubtless would have nipped the mu
tiny in the bud and it remains to be seel
whether the new sirdar, General Wingate
is as good ''man of blood and iron" q
his predecessor.
Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1900-02-16

Eight thousand manuscripts were re-
ceived by The Ladies' Home Journal
during the year just closed, but out OF
the entire number only eighty were
found worthy of publication. The
Manuscript Bureau of The Ladies'
Home Journal is operated at large
expense, but the hope of discovering
new writer's or some aspirants with un-
developed talent warrants the outlay.
1t can be seen that the articles secured
by such careful winnowing process
brings the cost of each up to and above
the remuneration paid our best writer's.
These facts bring refutation to the
oft-repeated but none the less CHROME
GUS assertion that only well-known
writers of established literary reputa-
ton are able to find a place for their
work In the magazines. Exactly the
contrary is true. The Ladies' Home
journal. through the manuscripts con.
sidered, has discovered three or four
new writer's of excellent merit and
great promise. and this find" its edi.
tor regards as fully warranting the
large outlay of maintaining an expen'
sive bureau for reading all the manu-
scripts submitted.
