THE LOCAL OFFICE.
No one In Portland nit Hard rs Far as
Can he Learned.

Price, Mccormick s. Co. have branch
office in Portland. The news of the fall
ure of this firm caused some little con-
sternation here. There were of course
many unfinished deals on the books OF
the Portland branch and these of course
will suffer some loss. The margins which
have been put up to protect deals have
all been wiped out. 1t was impossible to
as certain how many people had been
pinched in this failure or how much
their losses will amount TO-. Operations
in bucket shops are, as rule, conducted
ON the quiet and the public know little
about them. The local managers have
said that the losses here are not large and
that not many people are involved. All
kinds of stories were floating about the
streets yesterday as to some Of the indi-
vidual losses which had been met with
by Portland men but none OF these
stories could be authenticated. 1t is said
that one man got out of cotton deal a
few days ago with 10000 to his credit
and just escaped the collapse.

credited with doing fully as large bust
ness as any firm ON the exchange.
The representatives of the firm on the
exchange were r.. NJ. Stuart Wortley, W.
q. Mccormick and George Croker, the
special partner. Much Of the business q
the firm was in the cotton exchange at
hrst and Its senior member and organizer
was formerly Of the firm Of Hubbard,
Price e. Co. At that time the older
firm had large southern business. The
present firm controlled much OF this
southern stock business, and has been
very active at times in stocks favored by
southern operators, although this line OF
trade has been far less I'm volume than Its
regular commission business obtained
through its wire service 60 outside cities.

REQCISITION HEARING.
Gov. Roosevelt Has Not Decided What
to De with Nicely.

New York, May p4.-The examination
in the case of Charles +. W. Nicely,
charged with the transportation Of
$50, 900 of the Cuban postal funds, which
was to have come before Commissioner
Shields today, has been adjourned until
Monday next pending action in the re-
QUESTION proceedings before Gov. Roose-
welt, which took place at Oyster Bay.
Edward X. Jones, the special represen-
tative of Attorney General Griggs in the
prosecution of the Nelly case, today had
a talk with Judge Lacombe about the
Cuban postal scandal. Mr.. Jones said
that the papers wlHlch were said to have
left Washington yesterday had not yet
reached him, but they are expected this
afternoon.
Mr. Jones said that as soon as the docu-
mentary proof procured by the war de-
partment concerning the issue of stamps
which were ordered destroyed comes into
his possession, additional action will be
taken against Nelly. District Attorney
Henry Il. Burnett and his assistant,
Ernest G.. Baldwin, will appear before
Gov. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, in support
of the application for a requisition for
Neely's removal to Cuba. Gov. Roose-
welt granted a similar order u month
ago and on it young man who had stol-
en- private funds was sent to Havana for
trial. Michael A. Connally, one of the
men alleged to be concerned in the Cap
tain Carter frauds, was brought from
Havana to Savannah three months ago
and is now awaiting trial on joint In
dictment with the Gaynor brothers and
B. ID. Greene, the contractors arrested
here.
II the requisition in the Nelly case is
refused by Gov. Roosevelt, Assistant
District Attorney Baldwin believes that
under the federal statute he can be tried
in this district,
The hearing before Gov. Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay was private.
At its conclusion, the Governor said
that before taking action he would CON
fer with the state attorney general on the
questions of law raised by the counsel
as TO his power to grant the requisition
papers. Gov. Roosevelt In conclusion,
said he would probably confer with the
attorney general on Saturday
u S. District Attorney Burnett and
Lawyer Lindsay, who represented Nicely
said that their arguments before the Gov
ernor were on the question of states ju
risdiction. Gen. Burnett contended that
Gov. Roosevelt has jurisdiction In the
case. Mr.. Lindsay claimed that the
United States was not properly in con-
troll of Cuba and consequently the gov
ernor Of the State of New York did not
have power and jurisdiction to issue the
requisition papers.
Both sides submitted briefs.

with a distressing cough. A full dose of
Downs Elixir on going to bed at night
and small doses during the day will cure
the most severe cough. Whenever there
is a tickling sensation in the throat take
few drops of the Elixir on the tongue
and let 1t run slowly down the throat
and immediate relief will follow. We,
the undersigned, druggists, agree to re-
fund the money if it does not cure any
cough, cold, whooping cough or throat
trouble.

BURNETT'S SEAT
 IN THE CONGRESS Is Now an Issue of Great State
 Importance. DEMOCRATIC CONFIDENCE Senator Pettus Will Talk to the Voters in Ills Good Old Way-Hon.
 w. w. Haralson Confi-
 dent of DeKalb
DEMOCRATIC CONFIDENCE

The most interesting political fight in the State this fall will be made in the Seventh district, where Hon. John l.. Burnett has been renominated by the Democrats for Congress. MT. Burnett, during the one term he has served in Congress, has made a splendid reputation, and won the respect and good will of the entire district He is making a thorough canvas of the district and he and the campaign committee will exert every effort to win another great vic- tory.
 In order 10 thoroughly arouse all Demo- crats and get every Democratic voter to the polls in November, some of the ablest speakers in the State have been invited to make speeches In the district. Among these is Senator Pettus, for whom appointments have been made as follows:
 In Dekalb County-At Skirum, Monday, October 8; Fort Payne, Tuesday, October g.
 At Albertvllle, Marshall County, Wednes- day, October H.
 At Ashville, St. Clair County, Friday, Oc- tober 12; at Ragland, St. Clair County, Saturday, October 3.
 The normal Democratic majority in the Seventh District Is slightly less than 2000 but the Democrats believe that they will be able to Increase this in the November elec- tion if they can only get all the Demo- crats to vote.
 MT. Burnett, in addition to being an able representative, is a man of the people, and when he goes among them he makes friends and supporters.
 In DeKalb County, where the Democratic strength for the past several years has been about equal to the combined opposi- ton. the Democrats feel confident of get ting good majority. Hon. W. ". Haralson of Fort Payne, who will represent DeKalb in the General Assembly this winter, and who will be one of the ablest young men in that body, was in Birmingham yesterday. In speaking of the situation in the Seventh says the county will go for Burnett by about 800 majority. He carried the county in the August election by 156 majority. He is hard working Democrat and a wheel horse in the party services.
 The opposition are making the fight of their life to win in that district, and they are doing all in their power to create en- thusiasm for their ticket They have gone into every county and worked silently among the voters; but reports from the different counties indicate that they are having an uphill job.
 From all indications, If the Democrats only do their duty and go to the polls in November, MT. Burnett will be returned to Congress by an increased majority.

THE LYCEUM
Resumes Thursday at Auditorium-Lec
 ture By J. Dewitt Miller

The Lyceum course, which was begun May with the address on the Boer war by Hon. Webster Davis, at the Jefferson theater, was suspended after, that lecture until this fall, because a large number who had subscribed for the 600 season tickets had not then paid, and seemed to prefer to wait until fall Those who did then pay had the advantage of the first lecture.
 There will be fourteen more entertair- ments, and the course will be resumed next Thursday, October 4, at D. m. at the Au- ditorium. The entertainment will be lec- ture. 1.-The Uses of Ugliness.' by J. Dewitt Miller of Philadelphia, who was in the Lyceum course season before last. He lectured at Seals hall, and instructed and delighted his hearers with wit and elo- quence. His subject was, "Is the Republic Sufficient Unto Itself?"
 The Lyceum course had to be changed from the Jefferson to the Auditorium on account of conflicting dates. The next, after Miller, will be a monologue play by Edwin Barker of Chicago; and next. Rev. Madison c. Peters of New York.
 All subscribers for Lyceum season tickets who did not get same last spring, are re- quested to call at once at Jefferson County Savings Bank, the depository of the Ly- celum fund, and pay for and receive their tickets. Those who have not yet sub scribed can get season tickets for $2.5 at the bank or from H. K. White, manager of the Lyceum, at his office, room 332 Hood building.
