COTTON PRICES
 IMPROVED APACE Bull Opinions We're Backed by
 Substantial Orders. TRADING BRISK ALL DAY Reported Damage to the Texas Crop of 100000 Bales Gave Additional.

TRADING BRISK ALL DAY

New York, October 4.-Bull opinions pre- dominated in todays cotton market and as these views were backed by substantial orders prices improved apace. The opening was steady with prices unchanged to 4 points higher. By midday the advance had been increased to to Il points while at the best figures of the day a net rise of 10 to B points was apparent. The close Was steady with prices to points above the final prices of yesterday The conclus- ions of the trade and public were founded upon bullish cables and disappointing in- formation bearing upon the crop condi- ton.
 Liverpool advanced in sympathy with yes- terday's improvement, and later displayed inherent strength of its own on scare of shorts following reduced crop estimates from the South and claims that cotton shipped by the Manchester spinners' repre- sentatives in the interior of the belt would not reach the English mill In the time allowed. Buying orders were cabled to our market and helped to strengthen bull con- victions.
 News from Texas to the effect that the damage to the crop in that State by the recent floods would reach 100000 bales gave additional strength to the market in the early afternoon. Firmness in Southern spot markets, estimates for small receipts at leading towns tomorrow and d forecast for wet weather over the central and east ern sections of the belt were bull influences of no small importance. Near the close sell Ing for profits broke the market several points but in no wa yweakened the feeling in general Trading was brisk throughout

Hunting the Hunters

There has been several complaints in
the county attorneys office and before
justices about parties hunting lands
and along highways Joining farms, with
out permission. and especially about kill
ing tame cfssaaens. Several parties will
probably have TO pay pretty dearly for a
mess of fras chicken in a few days.
Quite a number of farmers clubbing
together to protect their chickens, aud a
number are also determined to protect
their wild game. The farmer appreciates
a nice quail oecassIonaly, and as his graf n
feeds the birds he is entitled to keep
hunters off his farm In doing this he
has all of the assistance he need from the
laws of the state and hunters will find

Outlaws Tortured Cattle.

special telegram to the Kansas oily
journal. from Ashland, Kas., Oct 10th,
gives the following account of the hor-
rible work of cattle thieves:
The authorities of the counties in South
western Kansas has succeeded in break
ing UP one of the most cruel gangs Of
outlaws that ever infested the West. This
gang would not only steal cattle every
time it got chance, but it would cripple
and MAIN cattle just for pure devilment-
One of its favorite cruel tricks was TO rope
a steer and rub the JUICE of milkweed in
his eyes This would produce almost
instant blindness. Scores of cattle were
treated this way. Another scheme was to-
rope steer and run barbed wire through
the tips of his ears and draw them clos
together Still another was to run a
barbed wire through the nose and then
let a long piece drag the ground
Other equally as brutal tricks were play
ed. But the authorities finally located
the gang and several of them are now on
their way to the penitentiary and no
more trouble of this kind is looked for

When ten years old. he went with his
parents to Fulton county, Ill. On Nov.

Sweet, who, with their daughter, Nellie,
remains to mourn the loss of a loving and
patient, husband ana father.
He was a well-to-do farmer, residiDg
near Avon, Ill. until about two months
before his death, during which time he
was with his sister, trying to regain his
health but continually lost, until death
came.
None but friends ever saw him.
The remains were taken to his home,
where the services were held by the Con-
gregational minister. and after which the
body was laid to rest in Avon cemetery
to await the Judgment morn and altho he
was member of no church, we feel we
