MEN ARE ELIGIBLE.

Owatonna, Mimi, Oct. 1S.-The
Woman's Federation spent most of the
day discussing the constitution. In
addition to several amendments the
federation voted to admit and recog-
nize the so-called linked clubs" com
posed of men and women. Some years
ago, in the early history Of the state
organization, four mixed clubs were
admitted to the federation, bat the
records fail to show any action taken
on the mater and since that time it
has been held in allegiance.
There was a lively discussion and
only after a defeat through misun-
derstanding on the part of the dele
gates and a reconsideration did the
question finally carry in favor of their

An amusing incident in which Sena

EVIDENTLY A SWINDLE.
Irby II, Marchman FIeeced Many
While in Dawson.

About two months ago young man
giving his name as IrbY H. March
man, aud claiming to represent the
Higgins Publishing Company of At
lanta, made his appearance in Dawson
and began to take orders for engraved
card cases and caras, requiring cash IN
advance when an order was given. He
was a gentleman in appearance, and
was either deaf mute or pretended to
be. His condition naturally aroused
much sympathy, and orders for his
wares came readily.
The goods were to be delivery IN a
week or two, and after waiting two
months one of the gentlemen who had
given Marchman an order became i'm
patient and wrote to the Atlanta pub
fishing house concerning the matter
In a courteous reply they informed tn e
gentleman that Marchman did not rep
represent them, and furthermore that
they did not manufacture cards and
card cases. .
Marchman took in no small amount OF
money while here, and it is safe to say
he will not again solicit business IN
Dawson.

JUDGE SHEFFIELD SENT
SHOW band TO JAIL.
MUSICIANS OF TEET BROS. CIRCUS
DISTURBED COURT AT COL0UITT.
Men Were Released After Paying Fines
Aggregating $3.50. The Judges
Action Approved.

Solicitor-GeneralL aing and Stenog-
rapher Walter Christie returned home
Friday from Colquitt, where they had
spent the week in discharge of their
official duties in Miller superior court.
Thursday the little town of Colquitt
was thrown into considerable excite
ment by Judge Sheffield sending sew
eral circus men to Jail. Teet Bros. >
circus had an engagement to exhibit
there that day, and about ten O'Clock
the band, regardless of the effect upon
the business of the court, opened up
with lively air on the square near the
court house. That was more than the
Millerites couli stand. They do not
have brass bands among them every
day. and as the first strains OF the
music reached their ears there was
such a stampede from the court
room of Jurors, witnesses and others
that the mill Of justice was forced to
temporarily cease turning out grist.
The Judge had the entire band, in
Guiding two of the proprietors OF the
show and six others, arrested and
brought before him, and fined them $40
each for playing in the court house
ward while court was in session. In de-
fault of payment they were sent to jail,
where they remained about an hour
before the fines were paid. 1t was
thought at one time that the circus
would be postponed, but they succeed
ed in adjusting the matter in time TO
give a performance.
Judge Sbeffield's action was gen
orally approved, as the band interfer-
ed so with the court that business was
entirely suspended.

Murphy 6 co.'o Cotton Letter.

New York, May 23-Insignihcant at several points in the North compromised the reports as to moisture in the entire cotton belt. The extreme temperatures 66 to 76; reports reaching here by mail show the rain to have been all that was required in some districts and below re- quirements in others There Is more or less complaints everywhere and in some sections 1t Is expected that dispite the thriving appearance of the plant there is an absence of tap root. This condition was forecasted during the protracted spell of drouth and 1t remains to be seen what importance is to be attached to it. The fact is independent of this question that the crop Is a late one and we believe the condition generally, as will be shown by the bureau report next month, will prove to be far from good. In fact the general expectation Is that the showing will be so bullish as to cause a radical change in the views of the trade where an average start has been claimed.
 Best people now believe that the old crop will not much exceed ten million; they look for 7,500000 at ports, 1100, 900 overland and 1,400,00O Southern consump- tion.

 We continue to advise our correspond ents to keep clear of short side of sum mer months. If short sales are consider ed desirable there is much less risk in shortening the fall or winter months which are free fromliability to all manip- ulatlve influence.
 Liverpool opened down about two points on deliveries and closed about the same. Spots declined 1-32d on sales of 5000 bales.
 The rise on this side of the sea was in direct contract to the English market and apparently wholly due to fear of a July squeeze in New York. The way to prevent such a deal is to refrain from selling that option.
 It is noticeable that the alarm occasion ed by the action of the New York market is restricting trading in the several cot ton centers.

UP AND DOWN DEAL IN COTTON TRADE The Room Element Was Badly Mixed in Its Opinions BEARS ARE STILL ALARMED When Everybody Looked for Break In July the Tide Turned
 Upward and the Pit
 Was Surprised.
BEARS ARE STILL ALARMED

New York, May 2sLToday's cotton orders from the outside and failed to ma terially respond to either bullish or bear ish influences. The room element was badly mixed in it's opinions and readily turned buyer or seller as foreign, south ern, Wall street or western orders guid- ed them. The uncertainty was still cen- tered around July, which followed a whimsical course during the entire ses- sion and at times fiuctuated wildly.
 English buying of July caused that op- tion to advance to 767 a moment after the call. Then selling for southern and western account turned the market and prices fell rapidly to 7.6O for July and 71S for August, Liverpool followed the weak ness here and contributed a number of selling orders. But just when everybody in the pit looked for a break in July de- mand from several prominent shorts turned the tide once more upward, and soon the best figures of the forenoon were maintained. In the afternoon estimates for large receipts tomorrow and a splen- did weather forecast failed to have the expected effect as southern buying ap- peared and created fresh exhibitions of alarm in bear circles. English buying later started a wild scramble of shorts for November, and within few minutes prices shot up 10 points to 7.56 for July and 7.H for August. Afterwards the market was cratic and excited, with fluctuations radical so far as the near months were concerned. Proft-taking in the last half hour failed to weaken the market, all the months holding well up to the best prices oftheday.
 The market closed steady, with prices net 1 to 10 points higher.
