FUNERAL OF EMEL1NE A. HALL.

FUNERAL OF EMELINE A. HALL.
A sad accident occurred at the railroad
STATION in Bridgeport, last Friday morn
ing, July 6, from which Miss Emeline
Hall lost her life. She was going on q
visit to friend in New Haven, where
she was to spend the summer. In cross
ing the tracks at the station, she was
struck by passing train and lived only
q few minutes. Miss Hall was very deaf
and this prevented her from hearing the
train approach. She was 81 years of
age and was the daughter Of Philo and
Della Hall and has been q lifelong resi-
dent of this town. Two sisters, Mre
Charles Brakeman Of Easton, and Mrs
Booth of Trumbull, and two brothers,
Henry Hall Of Esston and Edison Hall Of
Bridgeport, survive her. The funeral
services were held from the Baptist
church on Sunday, Rev r. 81. Sherman
officiating, and the interment was In the
family plot In the adjacent cemetery. A
quartet rendered appropriate selections.
The bearers were r. q. Galloway, Ed

New York, Dec. 13.-The stock market
today was less under the influence of the

eight years is given as the elapsed period
since an Erie company stock sold as high
as so on the stock exchange. Today the

New York. Dec. 13.-There has been

cottons are slow of sales and irregularly
in favor of buyers. Bleached goods in
limited request but steady. Coarse col
ored cottons firm. Print cloths dull, but
no change in prices. Prints in somewhat
better request. Prices unchanged. Cling
hams firm. Fair business reported in the

ing the demand freely.
COTTON.
New York, Dec. 13.-The bull faction
had the cotton market much it's own way
throughout the day, during which time
prices worked upward with speculation
conducted on liberal lines. The fact that
the market was considerably above the
extreme low level of the late decline.
however, did much to deter buyers from
loading up extensively and on the easier
intervals of the session, considerable
profit taking occurred. The market
started steady with prices unchanged to
eight points higher and after a moment
airy show of hesitation rapidly climbed
upward until January reached 946, March
$50 and May 922. The buying movement
had as it's leaders the Southern contingent
the foreign representation and room
shorts. with commission houses doing a
much better business than for some time.
The forces which prompted the support
comprised very bullish cables from Liver
pool, foreshadowing smaller movement
and rumors that planters had been made
arbitrary in their views by the sheer
advance of yesterday in speculative
markets. Estimates for much larger re-
ceipts tomorrow brought about sharp
reduction soon after noon, with selling
Tor both accounts very active. The wire
interest refused to unload on the down
turn and this show of strength led to q
hasty retreat of the bears. During the
rest Of the afternoon the market exhibit
ed a tolerably steady uEdertone and
closed steady with prices net unchanged
10 nine points higher.

Shelton is a Lively Town.

"The high price of logs and the good
wages that are being paid to loggers
are making Mason county unusually
prosperous" said Mr.. w. B. Rogers,
of Seattle, who had just returned from
trip to Shelton and other towns in
Mason county. "Shelton is lively
place and has been prosperous for some
time. LOggers are making good
money and they are class of people
who spend it. Logs are continually
increasing in value and the number of
camps established is growing larger.
"Olympia is drawing share of the
prosperity from the logging camps,
but Shelton receives most of the bene-
tit. Olympia is showingfa marked inn
provement and is much better town
than it was year or SO ago."-Taco-

WHILE Shelton may be considered a
lively town by visitors, the people are
mainly in state of torpidity. We
haven't a board of trade, or even a
business mems club, but must depend
upon individuals to talk with strangers
who are looking for locations or in
vestments. We think we want mill
or something to employ labor and
work up some of our natural resources,
and suppose a capitalist came to Shell
ton to look us over, has anyone power
or authority to make him a PROPOSE
ton, to offer site, or get up bonus?
No, he would be sent to Tom, Dick
and Harry, ard then he would go to
Mukilteo Or some other place, where
people want things bad enough to
rustic for them, and show their conf
dence in their town by investing their
profits as well as talking. How about
a Club?

Good Advice for Mason County.

At the republican convention which
will be held the latter part of this
month there will be little TO do except
select seventeen delegates to the FL
lensburg convention, and ratify the
successful administration of President
Mckinley during the past three years
Aside from these matters of national
Importance it will be good time and
none too early to begin to find out
who the candidates for county offices
this fall will probably be. 1t has been
too much the practice in the past to
wait until the convention met to NOM
nation candidates for county offices
before even the names of those who
wanted the offices could be learned,
many of the candidates working on
the theory that the stiller they kept
their candidacy the better their
chances of nomination would be ap-
parently forgetting that an election
was to follow. Nominations made on
the spur of the moment by men who
have successful combinations has too
often resulted disastriously. The poll
ticians should know by this time that
it doesn't pay to keep in hiding until
convention time, that nomination
by party in the majority does not
necessarily mean an election. For
their own good and for the good of the
party let men who would like to have
the nominations at the September
convention have that fact announced
at the March convention. Then the
republicans of the county will have
all summer to consider their candi-
dates and if any flaws in them are to
be found it can and will be done in
that time. By following that plan
ticket composed of clean men who are
fairly the choice of the majority of the
republicans of the county can much
more easily be nominated at the later
convention and the chance of success
of the nominees will be much better.
