Cotton FURRY in New York
Caused by Hot Weather.

New York. July News received
from the different centers indicated
that the hot weather has had a serious
effect on the crop conditions, and as
result there was a furry among the
brokers on the Cotton Exchange. Cot
ton jumped a dollar a bale. Continued
absence of rain in the Texas district of
the cotton belt was the essence of the
bad news.
The sharp advance brought out a
good deal of profit-taking from local
foresight luckily induced them to load
up a month ago, and their selling, with
some reports of showers at a few points
in Texas, and one inch of rain at Long
view, in the northern part of that state,
caused a subsequent reaction of 10

HE WILL RECOVER.
b r. Lewis, of Topeka Not Seriously
Injured.

- -
The Kansas City Times says OF the
attempted suicide of Richard R. Lewis
of Topeka at Kansas City:
Probably because his love affairs were
not running smoothly, Richard R.
Lewis a salesman employed by the
Emery Bird Thayer Dry Goods COM
pany, placed a pistol to his heart yes
terday and pulled the trigger. His aim
was not true, for the bullet missed the
heart by an inch and, striking a rib,
was detected and thus ala not pass
through his body. The ball touched the
left lung, and was taken out under the
left shoulder blade. He was taken at
once to St Josephs hospital, where he
is now resting easily and will probably
soon recover.
Lewis was at the Morgan house, on
West Ninth street, when he fired the
shot. His home is at 1915 Michigan ave-
nue. He came downtown yesterday
seemingly in good spirits and said moth
ing to any of his friends of his inten-
house and a short time after he went
to the room assigned him he fired the
shot Tt was heard by the persons in
the Office The police ambulance was
called, and DR. Longan, police surgeon,
had him removed at once to the hospital
While he was at the hospital a young
woman called to see him. Her identity
was not learned.
Richard Lewis is about % years old
and is a son of Geo. J. Lewis, who travels
for the Simmons Hardware company of
ST. Louis Mrs. Lewis thinks that her
son was suffering from the effect of the
heat The young man was of an espe-
cialIy genial disposition
The latest news from r. r. Lewis, son
of Mr.. and Mrs Geo. Lewis of 1884
North Jackson street, is that he is
resting easily at st. JOseph'S hospital in
Kansas City under the care of DIR. Grif-
fiths who is considered one of the best
physicians there. The bullet has been
extracted and hopes are entertained
for his recovery. Five years ago he
was Frustrated by a, sunstroke and ever
since has been very susceptible to heat.
In a letter to his mother written Sun
day he complained OF the intense heat
and said he did not feel we'll. The young
man will not be p years old till next
fall His mother went to Kansas City
today to help care for him.

CAN BE FIXED.
Lawyers Think City Railway
Paying Plan is Good.
Believe the Company Can Pa!
Like Others.
MR.. SPENCER TALKS.
Difficulty Is Railway Has No
Auditing Property.
Estimated Cost to Company
This Year, $4,000.

"A new plan for paving the street rail-
way tracks has been proposed. and it
appears to be the best and fairest to
both the company and the city of any
50 far considered It is very likely that
the council, at its next meeting will
adopt the proposed plan
It is proposed that the railway com
pany be placed on the same footing :
the individual property owners, and be
allowed TO get the benefit of improve
ment bonds issued by the city to pay
the cost OF paving the tracks This
would enable the railway company to
pay for its paving in ten yearly in
stallments-
The attorneys for the railway COM
pany think that this plan can be ar
ranged to comply with the law, and on
Wednesday evening, there will be a
meeting of the special committee ap-
pointed for the purpose, to discuss the
plan with the city attorney and the
railway people. The committee is COM
posed Of Councilmen Troutmen, War
ner and Weber.
If the proposed plan is adopted by the
committee, it viii be necessary to have
appraisers appointed to consider the
valuation of the railway property. The
property viii be valued, and a new is
sue of Improvement bonds made to
cover the cost of the Improvement The
cost viii be about $4,000. The railway
company wants the city to issue bonds
enough to pay the whole cost of pre-
pairing the track, including grading
new ties, chairs for the rails, sand and
brick
Asked in regard to his opinion in the
matter, City Attorney Spencer said: Il
see no objection to the plan, provided it
can be arranged so that the city is pro-
fected, and can be certain that the COM
pany will pay the bonds as they come
due"
The only technical legal objection seems
to be that the street railway company
has no -abuttiT3g property on the
alent to ownership of the right of way
but gives it no rights as the holder of
AUDITING property. However, it is be
1leved by lawyers that this objection can
be overcome.
II think that this is the best solution
of the paving question which we have
found yet, and I am surprised that we
did not resort to it sooner" said G. g.
Baker, of the street railway company,
today. II think the city is amply pro-
T6cted In lending rs its credit by issuing
bonds. The city is protected because the
claim OF the city for taxes takes pre-
cedence over all other claims. The stock
cannot come in ahead of the taxes. It
simply puts US on a footing with other
property holders. and gives US a fair
chance to pay for the pavement The
company can not pay $50. 600 all in one
year The courts could not compel US
to do SO, for II would be confisca ton of
our property. The company stands
paving. It viii voluntarily do every
thing the courts could compel it to do
We want to be fair with the city, and
we want the city to be fair with US"
