Market.
AVERAGES LOWEST IN HISTORY.
Cotton Went Klting Skyward When
Report Made Public, Advance Was
Thirty Points, and May Go Still
Higher.

Americas cotton men were elated
yesterday upon the appearance of the
monthly Government report which was
ola, the lowest average ever recorded.
The effect was almost instantaneous,
and the cotton market went baloonlg
TO the eight cent mark for contracts.
January, which at one time yesterday
was down to ITO, closed at s cents, O
gain OF thirty points within two hours.
And the belief is expressed that the
end is not yet, The truth IS to crop
conditions is dawning, and with this
will come Q shifting of values to o
higher level. January contracts are
back to eight cents again and spot cot
ton will command that price in q short
while, in all probability. There was
no great demand yesterday, though
this was largely due to the quality of
cotton since the recent rains. Ware
house receipts were $50 bales yesterday.

NOT READY WITH THE BOOKS,
Therefore Council Did Not Assess Tax
Rate.

The important meeting of the coun-
Gil ordered for last night was called off.
It was at this meeting that the tax rate
for the current year was to be assessed,
but as the books and some other data
desired by council was not yet ready
the meeting was postponed for day
or two. The belief still prevails that
the council Will have to adopt the ex-

cut down even to degree such rate
will not be assessed.

morning in greatly enlarged form in
order to accommodate the pressure of

been apparent that a second enlarge

this change was made today. The

More "ExclusiYeness."

The News-Democrat has discovered
another boycott. One it has really not
been aware of, though the campaign
has been under way for year or
more. The Canton Brewing company
has announced that it is withholding
its patronage from the NewsDemocrat
because of the articles from the pen OF
the veteran Prohibitionist, John DAN
ner, that are published twice each
month.
Mr.. Danner will, no doubt, be highly
complimented to find that his life
time struggle against the liquor evil
has produced such results that the
brewery company must adopt retalia-
tive measures.
The patronage of this brewery mus,
have been given as sort of a bribe to
the newspaper receiving it. If it were,
the News-Democrat does not want the
business. 1t prefers to have the pa
ronage of those who advertise on merit
and the returns that the advertising
will bring.
A real, live newspaper doing business
upon a business basis is evidently
novelty in Canton. The idea of a
newspaper being independent enough
to attempt to serve its best patrons

A CANTON CURE.
A Severe Case Of rheumatism
Cured In Q Few Minutes
Without Medicine.

A Canton gentleman who might not

whose name will be given by DR.. Il. F..
Larkins II required, went into the Of
flee of DR.. Larkins in the City National
Bank building, Canton, Tuesday even
ing suffering from rheumatism and
from pain in the heao. He had read
of the cure of Geo. e. Sebring and con-
cluded to try Neuropatny himself At
ter a treatment lasting q few min
utes, his pain was all gone. His
head ceased to ache and his limb which
he had been holding out straight on ac-
count of the pain was free from all
pain and held perfectly in any po-
sition.
1t should be understood that the on
ly reason DR.. Larkins's cures are near
ly all performed without medicine is
because he can obtain results better
in this way. He has perfect right
tc use medicine, as he is a graduate and
registered in Stark county as prac
ticing physician. He aoes use medi.
cine in all cases where it will bene-
fit; and has been the family physician
of some of the leading families of Col

THREE POLICIES OF
Lice INSURANCE
One For $4,000, Two Others
For Less Amounts-ReaI Es-
tate Estimated at $685.
900, Thoushtto Be Low.

The personal estate of the late Pres
ident Mckinley, according to the re-
port Of the appraisers filed with the
probate Judge Tuesday, is valued at
$135,S901S. This is exclusive Of his
real estate, and the statement is given
out by the appraisers that the value OF
the realty is estimated to be $65,00o,
which would make the entire estate
worth nearly 100000.
Under the several headings in the
appraisement values are given as fol-
fows:
Personal goods and chattels, $685..
So; deposits in banks and other securi-
ties, $72,972.96; life insurance, $60,132.
10: money, $129.19.
There are three insurance policies,
one for $4,000 and two for less
amounts, and in addition to this there
is said to be policy payable directly
to- Mrs. Mckinley for $4,000 which Is
rot included in the appraisement. The
reason given for not appraising the
real estate is that as it all reverts to
Mrs. Mckinley during her lifetime, an
appraisement was not necessary.
A great deal of the Canton property
and all the mining stocks which are
becoming of great value are owned
personally by Mrs. Mckinley, having
been inherited from the Saxton estate.
She is said to be worth as much in her
own right as she inherits from her hus-
band.
The appraisoment was filed shortly
after noon on Tuesday by Judge j. p.
Fawcett, George b. Frease and Henry
W. Hossler, who had been appointed
by the court to place value upon the
personal property. 1t was looked over
carefully and approved by Judge Will
liam r. Day and George b. Cortelyou,
the administrators, before it was left
for filing.
1t is the general impression that the
appraisement on the property generally
is low.
