 Port receipts today were 15,000, against 5s3s last year; receipts for the week were about 5000. against SS,s45 last year and A.S12 year before last.
 The most favorable feeling prevails throughout the south, but we don't think sales of the new crop month at under the 7.35c level are advisable. They may, with the best crop indications, probably work down to around cents but the possi- bilities with the big short interest out standing are greater.

 New York. May 4.-Liverpool set the pace again today and there was more selling out of long holdings. The feeling has been quite bearish and shorts do not seem inclined to press the matter. In- stead they covered freely again today and their buying caused some rally be- fore the close. They, however. sell again on every advance, and 1t looks now as if an effort will be made to dislodge the long line held for July by certain crowd. t
 It must be admitted that the situation is somewhat different at present. as growing crop prospects are now a factor and the movement from Texas keeps large and small. Some advices predict a very heavy movement from that State next week. whereas month ago it was expected the run would be over before

MALE ELOPER IS
GIVEN A LESSON
Nat Cummings, of FIandreau,
Gets a Garb of Tar and
Feathers.
RAN AWAY WITH A GIRL
Deserted His Wife, a Half Breed
Squaw, EntIclne Miss Iva Chris
Hansen From the Home
Of Honor.

Flandreau, s. d., Nov. 4-The indig-
nant people of Flandreau celebrated
Halloween by tarring and feathering
Nat Cummings, the squaw man, who
ran away with Iva Christensen, the 1S-
year-old daughter OF Peter Christensen.
Cummings and the girl went 10 a Mad
ison hotel, where they were fouted out
by officers.
Cummings was released through the
leniency OF the girls parents, and then
~telephoned his wife, who is n teacher
in the Indian school at Flandreau, that
he was coming back home. Instead, he
called up the Christensen girl. and
tried to get with her again, declaring
he would have her "in spite OF the
devil"
Shortly after midnight Halloween,
after n big feast, the men Of Flandreau
hunted up Cummings, took him a mile
east OF town, TO Richardson Bros fee
house, and there stripped him of his
clothes. Cummings was by this time
trembling with fear. He begged piteous-
ly for his life. He promised he would
never offend again and would leave
Flandreau and would never come back.
Cummings was really relieved when n
husky leader Of the GROVE tore the top
off OF n can OF tar and a bundle OF
feathers was unwrapped. He vas JOG
decorated.
Cummings was not to be found this
morning, and II is not known where he
Is. His wife is an intelligent half
breed, and has been supporting her
worthless husband and three children.

"JAFFEI THE RED"
Sharp Lookout for Anarchist Headed
o America.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Commissioner
Powderly has SEM information to all
commissioners to be on the lookout for
q man named Jaffei, an anarchist,
otherwise known as "Jaffei the Red"
who is supposed to be on his way to
the United States. If he is found on
any OF the incoming steamers he will
be detained, and, if a precedent estab-
lished fou years ago, in the case of a
well known anarchist who attempted to
enter the country, is observed, Jaffei
will be returned to the country whence
he came.
At that time Commissioner Powderly
held in effect that any one who
breaches anarchy, as a natural result
of his teachings, will land In prison,
and thus become a public charge. AS
the law prohibits the landing of a per-
son who may be likely to become a
public charge, the officials feel that they
have a right to debar Jaffei from en-
tering the United States.
The information that Jaffei is coming
to the United States reached the de-
partment from the Italian
Jaffei is said to be an Italian under %
years of age and notorious for his an
erchist doctrines.

was with Butler q. New orisanr.


John Budd, old and quaint. has for
years been the toll-gatherer at the end
of the Wiscasset bridge. the longest in
the state of Maine. A few days ago
Budd was sitting In the sun at the door
Of his little booth, smoking his pipe,
relates an Auburn, Me-, correspondent.
Two young men, evidently city boys on
a pedestrian tour, came along across
the bridge and stopped to pay their toll.
The eased their knapsacks off their
shoulders, and sat down on q bench at
the side Of the booth for a moments
rest. Budd naturally asked them
whence they had come and whittier
they were going.
"Our home Is In New Orleans" said
the older Of the young men. I'VE are
UP here in Maine for the summer"
II stopped in New Orleans at one
time" said Budd.
when was that?"
when / was with General Butler"
We'll, you can't be very proud of
that"
And why not, you young snippet?''
demanded Budd, with just as much as
perity.
Because Butler was an insulter of
women, a tyrant, and an old thief
that's what he was--and the boys OF
New Orleans who never saw him hate
him Just es much as the men and the
women who suffered from his orders.
And, besides, he stole all the spoons
out Of my g%ranfather's hotel?"
He did, eh?" snapped Budd. What
was the name Of your g~ranfather's ho-
tel?"
THE st. Charles"
man."
Budd went upstairs to his living room
and brought down a heavy canvas bag.
He opened 1t n took out a handful
Of spoons. On the handle was en-
graved "St. Charles"
What do those look like? ?" demanded
Budd.
why those are some Of the spoons
from my grandfather's hotel" gasped
the young nan Where did you come
on those?"
II stole EN-" said Budd placidly;
land I know who stole the rest of 'em,
and we all did il at the risk OF our
lives, for, IL Genral Butler had known
It he would have had us strung up.
Now, o take back what you said
about him. Take 1t back or I Will
dump you both over the rail there"
Daunted by the glare in the eyes OF
the old man, the boys apologized for
their hasty words. Then the older said:
Sir, my father will pay any price for
those old o / don't know just
how much money l ave with me, but I
will give 1T to you, every cent, If you
will give me those memorials Of my
grandfather. They can be worth moth
ing more to o now."
