and the change in the situation IS so important that few operators have any Idea of the immediate course of prices.
 Should a general attempt to cover be made, further advance will be in order. But first the market may have reae- tion.
 The outlook Is very different from that facing the trade last week and with prospects of less than l025O,0OO bales this year there is every incentive to buy cot ton on declines for higher prices later in the year, s,-a-

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.
Heavy Set Man, With a New Buggy and
Fine Bay Horse.

A number of families in the up
per end of the county have been
victimized recently by stranger,
who is working the paper and en-
velope racket. He manages to
visit tie homes when the men are
most likely to be absent. His
satchel contains packages of large
envelopes, sealed, and said to con-
ttin II envelopes and IL sheets of
paper. Half of the packages,
the smooth tongued stranger ex-
plains, contain money in sums
of not less than one dollar and
from that to ten dollars.
The small sum of one dollar
buys package. To show that
everything is fair, he allows his
victim to draw package "for
fun, and when this is done he
opens 1t, and out drops five dol
lar bill every time. When he has
proved that he is just travelling
around for his health and for the
purpose of helping people to his
surplus of the 'long green" he
accepts a dollar and allows a
package to be drawn, which when
opened, happens to be one of the
half that does not contain money.
To encourage a second and third
trial, he offers as premium a set
of silver knives and forks to any
one purchasing three packages.
AS soon as he gets the three dol
lars it just occurs to him that he
gave the last set he had to the
family down the road, and that he
will return with more in few
days. After working day in a
community, long drive sets him
in new one miles away and he
repeats his little game.

That John A. Wister,p proprietor
of Foltz -four mill, is not minus
his fine bay mare, used in the de-
livery wagon, is due to his pre-
caution in quitting on his stable
door a good lock and possibly al
so to the would be thief becoming
alarmed. Entrance was gained
to the stable on Sunday night
through buggy shed, which
communicates with the stable.
The halter was taken from the
mare and the bride put on. 1t
is evident that an attempt was
made to open the lock on the in
side, but either the lock with
stood his attempts, or else the
thief was frightened away, for
the stable was found locked the
next morning and the mare in
side with the bride on. Mr..
Wister can congratulate himself
that he is not one of that numer,
Gus class of individuals, who locks
the door after the horse has beer

Alarming Increase In Mormonism

Bishop Fowler asked in the

that $4,000 be appropriated for
the opening OF mission schools in

he believes that through such

at all successfully combatted.
DR.. Buckley said Mormonism
is alarmingly on the increase in
this country, the land of it's birth,

would as quickly die for the faith
that is within them as would any

SHOOTING ACCIDENT.
William Connolly Shoots at a Squirrel
and Hits His Brother Charlie.
Last Saturday William Come

Last Saturday William Connel-
ly aged about 18, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James T. Connolly, of Tod
township, was in the woods a
short distance above the fields,
and his brother Charlie, aged IA,
was down a short distance inside
the field. William saw a squirrel
running along the top rails of the
fence, and in a moment his gun
was to his shoulder, and thinking
of nothing than stopping the
squirrel quick, he fired. At the
moment of firing, his brother no
ticed him and yelled, "Don't shoot
this way," but he was too late, for
being in line with the squirrel by
the time the last word had escap.
ed from his lips, the gun had been
discharged and Charlie had re-
ceived part Of the contents of the
load. One shot penetrated the
center of his forehead, a second
entered just below the right eye,
and a third passed through the
lobe of his right ear. William
was so badly frightened when he
saw what had happened, that he
did not look whether he had hurt
the squirrel, but ran to his broth
er's assistance.
Dr. Dalbey was at once sum.
moned, but he felt that the boys
chances of recovery were better
with the shot in his face, than to
probe much to get them out.
Charlie is getting along well, and
will likely be all right in a short
time.
1t is something of a co-inci-
dence that James II. Connolly,
father of these boys had an ex-
perience similar to this when he
was alad of come 16 years of age.
He and his brother were in The
woods hunting. James was car
rying across his shoulder an old
flint lock gun, and his brother
was walking just behind him. A
stumble caused the hammer to be
struck against an obstacle, the
gun was discharged, and the
brother received the load in his
head causing his death.
1t has been but a few years
since Barney, another brother ol
James, was shot to death by {
party of ruffians while in the dis
charge of his duties as provost
marshal in one of the western
territories,
