Cotton Takes q Jump.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.Trading in the local cotton exchange yesterday was convulsed By the publication at noon of the governments estimate of a short cotton crop for the year. The figures were 9,674,00 bales, or nearly 100000 bales less than the trade generally ex- pected. Cotton jumped S2 q bale in as many minutes amid scenes of excite ment rarely seen. Brokers fought with each other to cover short contracts, and the pit became pandemonium for several minutes after the report was received.

remained steadfast. Therefore, John son argued, he was entitled to consid- eration, and as Boston was the club from which Dineen jumped back to the National league, he was willing 10 forgive him if Collins did.
 It is understood that Baltimore has offered Boston the choice of either Nops or Foreman gratis.
 Managers Mack and McAleer were in conference the greater part of the afternoon and it was supposed trade was likely. but nothing was accom- plished. It is said the two managers agreed upon what players to go after and divided the list.
 While the regular season will open on April 23, Baltimore probably will begin the 1902 baseball year at Boston on April 19, which is Patriots, Day.
 Comiskey said positively yesterday that he had signed a third baseman for the coming season, but declined to give the name
 The excuse of Heidrick and Wallace for their desertion of Comiskey last year became known yesterday. They asserted that Griffith was to keep the matter a secret, as at the time Held rick signed q regular contract and Wal lace an option. Such action was con trary to the rules of the Players As sociation. Accordingly, the pledge of secrecy was imposed. The story be- came known and both men repudiated their Chicago alliance
 The statement by one of the mana gers of the Boston National league team that he would go out after all American league players if Dineen were taken from the Boston National league club, was treated as joke by a majority of the rnagnates.
 Several of the out of town magnates left for their homes late last night and the eastern delegations will go to- day.

Army of Unemployed In Germany.

BERLIN, Dec. 4.-Official investiga- tions made by the municipal council as to the number of unemployed in the various industries of Germany reveal q rather worse condition of affairs than had already been intimated by the German press. These investiga- tions have resulted in showing that 20.- GOO men are employed in the metal trades today as against 73, 100 employ ed in these same trades iii the month of October, 1900. The working hours have been reduced in half of the facto- ries. The unemployed in the larger towns amount to from to 10 per cent of their populations, and the aggregate of unemployed in Germany reaches 500,000 men, or per cent of the total number of artisans in the country.

BURIED TREASURE.
Romantic Story Of Hidden Fortunc
 In Virginia.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 4.-Judge Berryman Green returned from Dan- ville, bringing with him clew to a buried fortune and the sequel to the story of a remarkable lawsuit of the reconstruction period. The story is-ro- mantic affects some of the most prom ineut families in DanyilIe and involves a treasure of $5, GOO, buried during the war by Federal soldier, now living in Ohio, who offers to come and search it out if he is insured against prosecu- tiOn for having taken the money.
 Near the close of the war, when the Federal forces were overrunning Dan vile, the directors of bank there di- vided out the gold, amounting to S5.- 900 each, among themselves for safe . keeping, the idea being that in this way most if not all of the assets of the bank could be saved.
 After the war the directors held a meeting, and each one produced the $5,000 in gold except Mir. Waddill, who stated that he took his $5,000 home and that Federal soldier had entered his house and, after severely choking him and threatening his life. succeeded in getting the money. Waddill's state- ment was verified by his wife in every particular.
 The bank sued for the money, and long and expensive litigation began. which resulted in Mir. Waddill being declared by the supreme court of ap- peals not responsible. MT. Waddill was represented by Bergman Green and George C. Cabell. The bank was represented by an equally strong array of counsel. All the parties to the liti gation are now dead except Judge Green.
 Just as Judge Green was about to take the train at Danville yesterday the postmaster came running to him. bringing letter he had received from Ohio. The writer states that he was q Federal soldier and while in Dan- vile just before the end of the war he had gone into mans house and se- cured $5,o0O in gold; that, being press ed for time. he buried the gold and was hurried off with his regiment be- fore he was able to return and unearth if

 There will be sounds of riot in the Connecticut cities when they learn that Upton took Cunningham from New Haven. But they will probably have little to say about Harrington's trip to this league from Waterbury for the purpose of trying to induce some player to jump to that part of the country.-Brockton Enterprise
 \ letter from Captain Fitzgerald of the Meridens to Brockton speaks hope fully of the polo outlook in Connecti- cut. He says that the fares from town to town are very moderate, that from Meriden to Wallingford on the trolley being 15 cents. and the highest anywhere along the line is half dol lar, while there is little waiting over night. most of the cities being so situ- ated that q team playing anywhere in the circuit can get home again i'll the same night. The captain is well satis- fled with the treatment he is receiving from the Meriden press and public
 If some of the amateur polo writers in some cities knew one-half as much about their business as Dickie Pierce does about his, that fine poloist wouldn't get the treatment he is re- ceiving this season at the hands of some of the newspaper men who have recently broken into the game. To these people man who pounds the floor and falls down and kicks up dust and breathes hard is the ideal poloist. The quiet, artistic, easy play of Pierce is something they cannot understand.

Mir Doe has also received let ters from the National league cities in Connecticut asking him to transfer his club to that state It is evident from these offers that the Lewiston club is held in high esteem by people outside of Lewiston, and they have con- menced to show their real value, too.

WIN. STARK DEAD.

William Stark, an old and highly
respected citizen of this city, died
at his home on Military street on
Wednesday morning, May Let. Mr..
Stark had been in poor health for
q long time and while his taking
off was not wholly a surprise, yet
the manner of IL caused a shock to
the community.
When Mrs. Stark retired Tuesday
night she left her husband sitting
In a chair. She slept soundly during
the night and when she awakened
in the morning her husband was
still sitting in the chair-dead. The
machinery of life had stopped some
time during the night, probably
about 8 o'clock.
William Stark came to Baxter
Springs about thirty years ago and
was In the city dray business dur
ing the latter '70s and early sos. At
this business he prospered fairly
we'll, and when his age began to
tell on him he quit that business
and lived a retired life. His wife
has been in the millinery business
here for many years and they lived
In apartments above the millinery
store.
Deceased was q man against
whom nothing of a bad nature
could be said. He was honest, at
tended strictly to his own business
and was highly respected.
Funeral services were conducted
Thursday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. Robert Barr and the RENAME
inferred In the Baxter cemetery.
Mr.. Stark was sixty.eight years,
two months and fourteen days of

THE KANSAS KING.

: Americans have given little heed
to the European alarmist who has
lifted his voice of late to warn Eu.
rope of the American peril. It 10
hard for US to believe that Ameri.
lean energy, American genius for
doing. American products, Amer.
ican money will prove In any re-
spect hurtful to Europeans. But a
real peril now rises in the heart of
America and seems to hang darkly
over Europe.
It is Kansas Craftsmanship.
News comes from Kansas City to
the effect that somewhere In the
state of Kansas now lives the right.
full heir to the throne of Servia. He
is the son of August Boyne, who
came to America in 184S and like
another Cincinnatus, took to the
pillow, ignoring honors to which for.
tune had entitled him. But time
went by and the seeds of ambition
grew apace even in the remote and
democratic West Finally he could
endure obscurity no longer, 80 leav.
ing his wife and three sons on the
farm, Boyne departed for Europe to
establish his rights to the Servian
throne.
Meantime the putative royal fam.
lily kept its humble tillage in the
West and by some unfortunate cir.
cumstance the paternal Boyne lost
its address.
A political ageat of the house of
Boyne is now looking them up and
has traced them to Dodge City, Kas.
It may not be realized in the cab.
inets of Europe what the accession
of Kansan to the throne of Servia
will mean. But no American will
doubt that the apple of discord
would be desirable gift in com.
parison.
The name Boyne also suggests
possible claims of descent from an
iilustrious line of early Irish kings,
another augury of i'll portent for
the peace of Europe.
Servia may be small affair now,
bat if the Kansas Boyne family
once arrives, there will be doings
ont of all proportion to it's present
size.-Chicago Post.
