COTTON MARKET : ' WAS VERY ACTIVE But Opening Call Showed Lack
 of Public interest. THE TRADERS WERE BEARISH There Was Period of Selling for Short Accounts - Gables Offered No
 Support While Crop News
 Was Favorable
THE TRADERS WERE BEARISH

New York, July 30.-The cotton market was seasonably active but without positive character today. The opening call showed a lack of public interests while traders were disposed to be bearish. The call showed an advance of 1 point to a decline of points After an interval of apathy, through local hesitation, there was period of selling for short account, cables offering no support while crop news was generally of a bearish tenor, with weather conditions in all sections of the cotton belt favorable and the South disposed to sell the new crop positions.
 The orders from the West, from Europe and from Wall street were of the selling sort, except for few Liverpool buying or ders, expected early in the session and con- fined to the more remote positions. Liver pool traders sold the near months. After the market had declined to 20 points, net, the downward movement was arrested through fears regarding the character of tomorrow's report from Washington cov- ering the past week. Covering in this view was sufficiently large to cause a partial re- action.
 Throughout the session the smaller posi- tions held a particularly weak relation to the general list. The weak feeling was in- creased by numerous reports of actual picking. The bull contingent showed no lit- tie disorganization today, largely owing to the retreatfng attitude of spot buyers. The close was quiet with prices net 1 to 20 points lower.

From the ProhibitioDisis.

The Prohibitionists of the Second
district Thursday nominated Rev, S..
d. Works for congress. The conven-
ton was held in Minneapolis in con-
nection with the state convention, and
about thirty delegates from the Second
district were present. There was no
opposition to Mr.. Works A Mr.
Circuit of Luverne, was mentioned, but
withdrew his name.
Rev Works, when seen today after
his return from Minneapolis, stated
that he had accepted the nomination,
He remarked with a laugh that Con-
gresham McCleary will have to hustle
if he expects a re election. Mr.. Works
is very creditable nominee and if the
party feels that it must have a can
didate it could not name better man.

POSTAL MONEY ORDERS.

There have been a great many impor-
tant changes in the q. S. Postal money
orders lately, which will greatly popu-
larize them. The Mankato post Office
was informed today that hereafter pos
tai money orders may be cashed at any
first or second class post office (this
includes the Mankato office whether
they are drawn on that Office or not,
providing. of course, that the identity
of the person is proven. Money orders
may also be paid hereafter before the
advice for the same has been received.
After April I'd international money
orders may for the first time be drawn
on any post Office in Russia, with the
exception of the Grand Duchy, of
Finland and Asiatic Russia.
For the convenience of store keepers
and others, it may be stated that they
can now have money orders endorsed to
them on the back of the order, and
then sign the order on its face and de
posit it at any bank for collection.

THAT NEW RAILROAD.
A Fargo Man Gives It Out Cold That the
500 Line Has Nothing to Do with 1t.

J. w. Won Media, one of the incor-
porators of the new railroad which is
to be known as the Fargo, Duluth &
Northwestern, in an interview in the
Fargo Forum says:
First l want to correct absolutely
the impression that the 500 is at the
back of the enterprise. The 500 PEG
pie have nothing whatever to do with
the new road. The ineorporators are
Fargo men and eastern capitalists. 1t
is not the purpose to ask Fargo to do
anything, All that will be asked of
Fargo and Moorhead will be right of
way privileges. The advantage the
new line will be to Farg is warmly
appreciated by Fargo wholesale men
In making Fargo more of center of
distribution, the new road will supply
everything that could be desired. The
road will be built on it's own merits
and will be entirely independent of
any other road, only so far as friendly
business relations at connecting points
with other roads may interpose. The
proposed survey will be through Sec
tions wholly unoccupied by any other
road and we know there will be bust
ness enough for this road For years
we have been trying to get the 500
and other people to come to Fargo by
the proposed new route. But they
always held aloof and claimed that
they could not do it. We have learned
as fact they could not, and if such
line was to be built t would have to
be done without the assistance or in
fuence of other roads We set to
work to interest other people and we
have succeeded and our road will be
wholly independent of other roads,
excepting as l have stated. Work on
survey and right of way matters will
be begun at once o. the southeastern
branch to Mankato, which will be
built first, and an effort will be made
to have the line completed in time for
next falls business.

A GRUESOME SIGHT.
Newspaper Men Gaze at the vertebrae
of Their Friends.

The city editors Of the local daily
papers were Thursday permitted to
almost look through the eyes of Om-
impotence, as the guests of DR.. and
Mrs. Andrews. They gazed through
ordinary flesh and blood and through
boards and other usually impenetrable
objects, and were enabled to do about
everything in the sight line except read
a mans mind or woman's heart. The
lights were turned out and the Doctors
new x-ray machine was turned on, and
nothing that stood before the Crooks
tube was able to Withstand the gaze of
those on the other side.
The newspaper man held his hand
before the tube, and saw part of his
own skeleton-the finger, wrist and
arm bones-with ring encircling one
finger bone, but standing out from it,
making mockery of human vanity.
Two small disks, about as large as ten
cent pieces, appeared close to one of
the arm bones. and caused the scribe
to wonder whether he was carrying
money in his arm until he happened to
think of two cloth covered metal
buttons on his coat sleeve.
One of the party sat before the
Crooks tube and the flesh and clothing
become transparent and the others
looked upon a skeleton instinct with
life-back bone, ribs, collar bone, etc.
1t was a gruesome sight and one that
made the spectator pause to consider
how closely life and death are as
ISOLATED
DIR. Andrews states that he will use
the tube whenever he has a fractured
bone to replace or when foreign body
has been swallowed. Faulty heart &C
ton can also be observed. Aside from
the Crooks tube, the static electric
current will be turned on persons who
are suffering from nervous troubles of
all kinds, and particularly nervous
headache and paralysis, and on
rheumatics. Oyer worked and over
anxious people will be given an electric
shower bath that will tone up their
tired systems.
The machine was purchased of w. r.
Grady & Co., of Chicago, at a cost of
$500, and is operated with 4S-candle
power electric current supplied by the
Mankato Gas and Electric Light Co.
