Waited Patiently For Months.


Sunday was spent quietly, and as
night came on and the hour approached
the men and women, many of whom
had awaited patiently for months for
the morrow's event and had come thou
sands Of miles at the last moment to
participate in it, became anxious. Worn
out with days Of hardships and nights
of poor accommodations, they were
keyed to high tension, but thousands
were prayertul and hopeful Every one
seemed confident that his would prove
lucky number.
Thousands of others had gone home
Immediately after registering, content
to await news of the drawing by tele-
graph. Hundreds remained awake walk
ing the streets and discussing again and
again the merits of the particular claim
on which they intended filing when
their lucky number should be an
nOunCed. Many lay down and slept on
the ground around the platform to be
sure of an advantageous position when
the first number should be called out at
8 o'clock, or to remain perhaps till i
o'clock in the evening, when the last
one Of the 1000 of envelopes to be drawn
today shall have been picked from the
wheels OF fortune.
The first break of dawn found every
one on the alert and moving with COM
mon impulse to the all important point.
All had been in readiness for hours.
The government clerks finished the task
of placing the envelopes of the appli-
cants in envelopes, and of tying them in
bundles ready to be placed in the
wheels, and the wheels had been tested
for the last time yesterday afternoon.
The only detail that remained was the
selection of 10 persons, who should per-
form the actual drawing of the envel-
opes from the oblong receptacles. They
were young boys of good families, and
were named at the last moment. They
were all under age, and persons who
have not registered for claims.
The day opened cloudy, but pleasant,
with indications of fair weather for the
first nine hours Of the drawing.

DUN's TRADE REVIEW.

iteration in nominal prices since the ad- vance to 17 cents eight months ago.
 Violent fluctuations have marked the course of cor nprices. The top point of previous week was not regained, but trad CTS on the short side of the market were compelled to cover at a loss. The de- crease in marketing Is not in proportion to the advance in price. Whatever bene- fit may have accrued from the high level of prices. 1t certainly has driven foreign buyers out of the market. Atlantic eN- ports for the week amounted to only l64- IFS bushels, against 3,1o6S3l year ago in prices of IS and 2S cents, respectively. Wheat is of less interest to spectators, but in legitimate trading 1t is especially active Western receipts for the week reaching 5,50s,3ll bushels. against 5,040 76l last year and 4.I34,363 two years ago. while Atlantic exports were 4sl5 S93 bush els against 2,373, 79S in 1900 and SI6o.7a in 1899.
 Dealers in some drought stricken dis tricts have oorutermanded orders for foot wear and these cancellations are felt mainly by Western makers, but as a whole the industry is in healthy posi- tion. Leather is quiet. shoe factories buy- ing lightly owing to large supplies taken recently. Liberal arrivals of hides tend to depress valles. Wool has a ast risen slightly above the lowest point Tn tour years. The cotton market awaits the Government report in a dull and weak po-
 sition.

Suit Will Be Filed Against tl
 Waters-Pierce Company.

Austin, Texas. Aug. 2.-Suit is to be filed by the Attorney General of Tex as to cancel the permit of the Waters Pierce Oil Company of Missouri to do business in Texas.
 About three years ago suit was brought against the Waters-Pier Oil Company to cancel its permit on the ground that 1t had violated the Texas antitrust law of 1895. Early in last year the Supreme Court of the United States sustained the Judgment of the lower courts cancelling the permit The company was dissolved and new company, with the same name, orga- nized. The new company was admit ted to Texas and quite political sem sation resulted.
 Under the antitrust law of 1895 cor porations are required to file an afti- davit each year. stating in effect that they have not been guilty of restraint of trade. The last day for filing these affidavits Is July 31. Yesterday the Waters Pierce Oil Company was awarded the contract to supply all State institutions with a large quan- tity of oil. Subsequently it was dis covered that 1t had not filed its anti trust affidavit. Thereupon the Cover nor ordered the contract cancelled, and furthermore. ordered that suit be brought to cancel the permit of the comns ny The Attorney General says he will file the suit as soon as he can prepare the papers. -.

Mister, will yer please put papa s name on these?" The Rainbow City Editor of The Adertiser turned from his desk and a wee bit of boy pre- sented about a dozen Buffalo-trip cou- pons which he held in his chubby fist. He insisted that "papa's name" should go on each coupon three times and had no other choice. Explanations
 that "papa's name" could not so on each coupon but one time did not sat isfy the youthful innocent and he pro- tested eos he wanted papa to win. This is one of the numerous little
 sidelights upon humanity that are be- ing daily enacted at The Advertiser ot- flee. Interest in the Rainbow City contest continues to grow and coupons are in great demand.
 One citizen relates that small boy
 rushed into his dining room early yes terday morning and cfamored Cor his morning paper before he had digested its contents.

CRESCEUS BREAKS RECORD
The Great Trotter Clips Half Sec ond from His Own Time-Con-
 ditions Unfavorable.

Columbus, O., Aug. 2.-Cresceus. champion of the trOtting turf, auded more laurels to his fame today by trot- ting a mile in POP IA, reducing by half a second his week old record of POP 3-4 made at Cleveland last Friday. The first half was trotted in 59 3-4 ,the first time that the distance has been cov- cred in less time than one minute by 8 trotter. The time by quarters was: 29 3-4. 59 3-4, 1:30 l-4 and 2:02 1-4. Only a stiff wind blowing directly up the stretch kept him from stepping faster than 2:02 1-4. More than 12,000 persons were present.
 In the overnight pool selling, a great deal of money went in the box at odds of $25 to $17 on time against the trot- ter At the track, owing 10 the fierce wind. the odds against the horse in- creased to s25 to $S but packers of CresceuS were game and took the short end as long as pools were sold.
 At 5;i0 the stallion was brought out for the test. Gamely facing the breeze the champion started on his Oourney,
 moving with apparent ease at his greatest speed. The runner caught him at the quarter and a sigh went up from the breathless throng as the time went up, a quarter of a second less than thirty. NOW the Wlnd was at ms back, and realizing the advantage Ketchum kept him at his great clip. The half mile pole was passed in g 3-4 seconds, a record never before attained. and ere the second runner caught him.
 The three quarter poles was reached and passed in the wonderful time of 1:30 l-4. Then came the great trial. for as Cresceus turned into the stretch. the bitter wind beat him in the face, and | held him back bY force. For the frac- ] ton of a second he seemed to faltcr | but his drivers voice was in his ears
 and on he came. With that indomitable l courage which makes him what he is. l he plunged on toward the finish with | unWeakened stride. and in spite o l We2riness and the buffeting Of the | breeze flashed under the wire a winner | against time. But for the wind against | which CrescelGs struggled it is believed l that his time would have been a second
 faster. It was the most wonderful | mile ever trotred on any track
 1 Enthusiasm hroKe loose as soon as l the horse had passed the yNire. The | crowd rushed on the track to greet the l champion. and huge wreath of flower, was hung around his neck. Mir. Ketch, l um. owner and driver, was carried tc l the judges stand and had to make $ l speech.

 The slave industry of this section Is bringing a great deal of money to the land owners. There are a number of mills in operation in this county and they are using a caEs of timber that is good for nothing else, and the price being paid for the timber makes. 1t profitable for the land owners. Several hundred men are now engaged in the industry at fine wages and this Is caus- ing considerable sum of ready money to be in circulation here at this dull season. Several hundred car loads will be shipped from this county before the output Is exhausted. The mills are making money.
