Sioux City Officer Apprehends Private
Boyee, Of Fort Riley.
Sioux City, Nov. 27.-Private Harvey
Boyce, a deserter from the United
States army. was apprehended by Off.
Ger Troy in the Hotel Leader and is now
lodged in jail. Boyce formerly served
in the Sixth battery at Fort Riley. He
deserted last April because, he alleges
he could not endure the tyranny Of his
officers nor the monotony of soldier life
Il would rather serve term in pris-
en- he said, than go back to soldier
ing.
Private Boyce came here a few days
ago from Nebraska and registered at
the Leader as Frank McAllister. He
kept his own counsel until yesterday.
when, under the influence OF liquor, he
made some remarks that attracted the
attention of Officer Troy. who tapped
him on the shoulder and asked:
You have served in the army, haven't
-you?"
Yes" was the reply.
We'll, why aren't you there now 2"
Boyce began to realize his position,
but his confusion was clear evidence Of
his guilt.
II want you" was the big policeman's
next remark, and then Boyce broke
down and admitted his guilt
He walked quietly to the station, pro-
testing he would rather serve a SEN
tence than go back to the army. cts
a dogs life he muttered.
At the station letter was discovered
upon his person from his father at
Chanute, Kas. According to the letter
Boyce has a brother in the Philip
pines who is supposed to have been
killed This fact may be an item in his
favor when he is court-martialed.
The father knew Of his sons desertion
and expressed sorrow that he should
have taken such course. The letter
is that of a simple. honest man, deeply
in his sons welfare.

SOFT COAL HIGHER.
An Advance of 25 Cents Ton for mi.
nois and Eastern Product.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-The price OF sof:
coal went up like smoke yesterday. Tho
mine operators of Ohio. West Virginia,
and Pennsylvania met at the Auditor
ium and decided on boost of % cents
a ton on all soft coal from these dis
tricts on Dec. /. Every mine-owner and
operator in these districts was repre-
scented or present in person, and the
rule for an advance in price is ironclad.
Two interesting facts We're made pub
lie; that the decision to advance prices
was unanimous, and that Indiana and
Illinois operators are likely to send up
prices also. The only consolati ton held
out was the statement that Gin their
opinion the prices OF anthracite or hard
coal would go up
Scarcity Of railroad cars was the
cause ascribed for the advance. The
Goals effected are used chiefly for steam

co.EDs IN FIERCE FIGHT.
Win Glory in Exciting Rush in Which
Manv Arc Severelv Hurt


Hamilton, o., Nov. 27.-In spite OF
bruises and bumps, ten pretty co-eds of
Miami University are in happy frame
of mind, for they are the heroines of the
fiercest flag rush ever seen at the old
school. Feminine stratagem won the
battle, in which the contestants were
nearly all soaked to the skin or suffered
in storms of missiles. and seventy five
windows in the college building were
broken. Several of the girls We're con-
fined to their beds today as the result
of the shock of battle.
1t has been the custom at Miami for
half century for the incoming fresh
men, as soon as they We're organized. to
scale the principal tower of the college
and plant their class flag upon it.
Immediately after morning prayers
yesterday the freshmen, who have
about a dozen goods In their ranks.
slipped up the tower stairs and raised
their colors on the flagpole. Then the
men let one of their number over the
edge with a bucket of paint to decorate
the tower. The co-eds were left on the
top landing to guard the pass. They had
logs of wood to roll down on invaders
and some of them had bricks and
stones. a
The painting was we'll under way, and
the freshmen flag was waving impu-
IDENTIFY when the sophomores learned
that something was doing. They rushed
up the six flights of tower stairs hoping
to take the freshmen by surprise, and
so sweep them off their feet, but the
vigilant freshmen coed sentries sent the
invaders back with a volley Of blocks
and stones that forced an inglorious re-
treat.
Several of the sophomores were Sc
verely bruised and trampled, and 1t
seemed that their cause was lost when
enc of the girl members gave the class
council a suggestion that won the day.
There was a fire plug at the building
and a long coil Of hose in the hail. 1t
was only minutes work TO get it con-
nected up and to drag the nozzle up to
the last landing. AS the first sophomore
poked his head around the corner the
freshmen let go another volley of mis-
siles and started to rush the attacking
party Off the stairs. Instantly blind
ing stream of cold water smote them
Several freshmen were knocked down
by the force of the current and the rest
were blinded and drenched.
The sophomores, dragging their hose
over the PROSTATE men and girls, scaled
the tower and captured the painting
party outright, confiscating paint and
flags. This done. they reversed their
current and fairly washed the freshmen
down to the ground floor. The de-
feated and half-drowned class did what
It could with its stones and bricks, but
beyond mourning large bill for
broken glass. accomplished nothing

Mummy a. Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov There was nothing
indicating the approach of cold wave,
but the market opened at an advance
of to 10 points, owing mainly to the
fact. that the spinning trade at Man
chester was inclined to buy in view
of the serious decline already estab-
lished, and for the further fact that
the crop is not yet made and has not
passed the danger point from frost.
The weather early in the day was gen.
orally cloudy, with the mercury as
high as "A in Texas, the lowest point
in the entire belt being so at several
Alabama stations. Estimated receipts,
60, 900, against $4,000 last year. Liver
pool unchanged. Absence of support
led to loss of half of the advance here
towards noon. Expectation is of small
receipts after this week. The Liver
pool report shows an increase in stocks
Of all kinds of 10000 bales, the total
now being 1853, 1000, but this is still be-
hind the corresponding date, 10000
bales. Supply gained 1000 during the
week. and Is now 101, 900, whereas they
held 253,000 on corresponding date last
wear. while the afioat stock of Ameri-
can to-day Is precisely the same as
last wear. One effect of the lower
prices has been the disposition OF
planters to hold back for frost adj
vances, and II is even estimated that
some farmers have carried their cotton
hack from the station in order 70 hold
IL until better prices are obtained.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Nov. 1.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm with prices to IL
points higher and for brief period
exhibited a disposition to hold the ad-
vance. The Liverpool cables were fully
31a points better than looked for and
conservative interests seemed to be
friendly to the market, buying jan
uary and March for a further rise. But
just when every one looked for sharp
additional gains, selling orders came in
from the South, presumably to hedge
against purchases of spot cotton. Room
buyers took their cue from this I'M
looked for pressure and sold out early
purchases, while demand through
commission houses rapidly dropped
off, with the result that the market
by midday had lost all its advance
and was weak in tone. Receipts were
larger than expected, the weather
proved more favorable than forecasted
and private advices claimed that offer
ings in the South were larger than in
several days. Early in the afternoon
the market became very weak under
bear selling and active unloading OF
stop-order character. January broke
to 7,37c before the decline was arrest
ed with late months off in keeping.
The estimates for to-morrow's New
Orleans and Houston receipts were
larger than expected and the weather
forecast failed to indicate frost for
the country tonight. The week and
figures were of bearish import so far
as the 'in sight" was concerned, be-
ing 547. 900 bales as compared with
450 600 bales last week. The holiday In
New Orleans, in a small measure,
checked new speculation. AT the close
the market was steady at net decline
of 5@12 points.
