similar operations of other pools in va
riOus Specialties and even of manipula-
tive advances in standard railroad
stocks; but the readiness with which
offerings were absorbed uuieted the
nervous excitement and induced some
buying back of stocks by hasty sellers
In fact the days net losses are found to
be quite insignificant as a rule and not
a few important stocks closed higher
than Saturday. The reports Of copious
recommendations IN the Southwest and
the effective breaking of the drouth con
ditions which have kept awake anxiety
regarding the crops was a material aid
to the recovery. The persistent upward
course of Louisville and Nashville was
sustaining influence Rumors were
renewed of a combination of this road
with the Chicago, Indianapolis and
Louisville. The movement for the ad-
vance was not followed up, however,
with any degree of vigor. The prospect
of strike on the part of the Anthra-
cite miners and the stringent condition
of the money market would amply ac-
count for a repression of speculation.
As a matter of fact the active liquida-
tion of the first hour accounted for
nearly one-half of the days total deal
inss Money loaned as high as 90 per
cent and rcceded to per cent, only at
ter the principal demand had been met.
There can be no doubt the discrimination
empba ASKED against collateral and the
unfaVorable disposition developed
among money lenders towards the re-
cent indiscriminate tendency of the
speculation were factors in the money
stringency. The squeezing out process
along this line is viewed with satisfac
ton. The knowledge that credits are
very literally expanded at present and
that the rather meagre cash reserves
are subject to heavy demands had caused
real anxiety to be felt from the reckless
speculation INDUCED in in some quar-
tiers. The curbing of this tendency by
the money lenders, on whose resources
it is absolutely dependent is seen to
make for financial health.

COTTON OPENS TWO TO EIGHT HIGHER

New York, May 5.-The dry goods
market today has again been quiet in
all departments. The tone is steady for
the general run of cotton and wooden
goods, but the continued decline in cot
ten and Wall Street disturbances have
inclined occasional sellers to accept
bids previously declined for staple cot
tons.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, May 5.-The cotton mar
kct opened steady with prices to s
points higher, in keeping with crafty
Ing improvement in the Liverpool mar
ket and on active covering by room
shorts, who had sold freely late Satur-
day in expectation of further weakness
in the English market today. For a
brief period the market gave promise
of doing better, but turned a sharp cor
ner at 1910 o'clock under reports that
three Wall Street houses had suspend
cd. At first the selling was of a.waver-
ing type with the room inclined to be-
lieve cotton would not be seriously af-
y
outside account, marked break in Lv-
erpool and a serious decline in the stock
market. Tight morey' reports and of
fetal announcement in the Weat Their map
that good rains had fallen over the west
ern belt where most needed, completed
the load upon the bulls and a scramble
to sell out ensued. Prices broke heaV-
lily and there was not single halt until
July had sold off from 924 to 500. Even
then buyers were slow to come forward
while every point rally was the signal
for fresh selling of large proportions.
Then came rally of 10 points on COW
ering and support for a turn, followed
by another slump to 903 for July, under
another wave of heavy liquidation. The
trade was in semi-demoralized state
and no concerted action was taken to
check the fright of the outside public
Whereas the stock market stiffened up
later, the cotton market continued eX-
feverish state throughout the balance of
the morning and during the late session.
Near the close the ring was Influenced

MAY DISRUPT SOCIETY.
More About Trouble in State Dental
Association,


The row in the State Dental society
may ultimately cause a disruption of
that body. The dentists no better
than the doctors are able to agree en-
tirely. The passing of the resolutions
of censure on DR.. Lewis of Ottumwa
by the State Dental Association was
the result of disagreements as to the
proper legislation. 1t appears that
DR.. Lewis was in favor of modifica-
ton of the law which would permit the
examination by the state dental board
of practitioners from other states who
had been in the practice at least ten
years. Other dentists opposed this.
Hence the resolutions of censure and
the claim that he had acted unprofes-
slonally in urging some action by the
legislature in opposition to the legisla-
tive committee of the State Dental as
ISOLATION. After the doctor had been
roundly and severely censured he hir-
ed an attorney, who drew up papers
for a damage suit against the commit
tee which prepared the resolutions of
censure and with this in his hand he
went before the association and got the
action rescinded. On the surface ev-
cry one is satisfied, but members of
the association living here say that
the whole matter has engendered bit
ter feeling and that it will have seri-
Gus effect on the future of the associa-
tion.-Des Moines correspondence to

SEASON OPENS SOON.
ottumwa Driving Clubs First Races
Decoration DAY.

Although there is little or no hope
of Ottumwa's having a fair this year,
there will be races at the Ottumwa
driving park each week through the
summer, conducted by the Ottumwa
Driving club, which organization last
year carried out races during the sea-
son and furnished amusement and en-
tertainment for many. This year. the
attendance at the races will, no doubt
be greater than last year owing to the
fact that by the time the track is op-
ened the grounds can be reached on
the street car. At the annual meeting
of the club held at the Office of Nc
Kee & Potter it was decided
to open the track with a pro-
gram of races on May 80, Decoration
Day, and the grounds will accordingly
be put into shape Immediately. Off
GERS were elected to serve during the
coming year, the same men being NAM
ed that acted last season with the ex-
ception of Ed. Daggett. vice president,
who will become manager of the
grounds. His place as vice president
will be taken by F. w. Simmons. The
other officers are as follows:
President-Joseph Dain.
Secretary Charles Wellman.
Treasurer-Frank Mckee.

HAMMOND WANTS CHILD.
Former ottumwa Man Again Seeks Re-
lief of Courts.

Attorney S. S. Ethridge, representing
Jesse Hammond, has filed motion
asking that the decree giving Mrs.
Hammond divorce and custody of
the minor child be set aside, and that
the defendant be given the custody Of
the child instead of the mother. Read
& Read appeared in the interests Of
Mrs. Hammond. They asked that
time be given in which to prepare a
defense. Judge Ethridge demurred
urging that the boy would return from
school in about twenty days and that
the mother was not the proper person
to care for him. Attorney Read stated
to the court good home would be pro-
vided, whereupon Judge Ethridge stat
ed he was ready to prove Mrs. Ham
mond was living with a woman whom
the police find it necessary to keep I'M
der surveillance. The court wanted to
know If Judge Ethridge expected to
attack the character of the mother and
the latter replied that he did; that he
would be able to prove her to be wo-
man of bad character and unfit to care
for a child. The matter went over I'M
til June 2.-Des Moines News.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Said That Patterson ct al Are Not
So Strong.


Washington, d. c., May 10.
1t is understood that some consola-
ton prizes may be available for those
who fail of recognition in the distrlbu'
ton of federal patronage.
Patterson, kemble and Temple Al
fected.
At this time it appears that Messrs.
Patterson, Kemble and Temple are not
so strong in the race for official posi-
ton as other men seeking office, al
though the unexpected may happen. II
is understood that Colonel Hepburn
has in sight or in prospect a consular
position to which Mr.. Temple may be
appointed and which will be likely IN
some degree to lessen his disappoint
ment in case of failure to land the
United States district attorneyship
While this consular position will not
in the nature of things, be as desirable
as the attorneyship, it will be desirable
from several points of view and Is no,
likely to go begging.
May Get Another Place.
1t is understood that the last legisla
tive bill carried provision creating
some twenty new places under the ju
dicial branch of the service, and II
is not improbable one of these posi-
tons may go to Mr.. Kemble or MI. Pat
terson, in case they fail in the pass
around.
The policy of the delegation will BIZ
to avoid just as far as possible bitter
ness and soreness growing out of the
division of the Offices. OF necessity
there must be two or three disappoint
ed ones, and it has been said that the
senators will take the view that unit
the disappointed ones are cared for NJ
other Iowa seekers after office shall
have consideration.

HOUSE BURNS DOWN.

Residence of Lincoln Right Consumed
by Flames.
IFrom Mondays Daily.l
Last evening, between s and 8
o'clock, the residence of Lincoln Right,
situated about half a mile from the OF
tumwa cemetery, on the Dahlonega
road, was burned to the ground, notn-
ing of value being saved from the
building. The family was away from
home at the time of the fire and when
the flames We're discovered it was too
late to save the structure. The fire
department was called but did not go
farther than the cemetery as the fire
was beyond the water limits. The
house was a one-story frame affair and
the loss will reach about $1,000.

High Resort Escapes.
In this way one can understand how
the mountain resort of Morne Rough,
where about 600 people were staying,
escaped humiliation. Rocks and dust
and boiling mud fell upon it, no doubt
harming it, but they did not destroy
it, for it was out of the pathway Of
the first awful blast.
Since Thursday, beginning indeed
Immediately after the first explosion,
Mount Pelee has been sending down
lava streams in many directions. They
have filled the ravines and followed
lower river courses and made their
way to the sea. They have done great
destruction, but most of the inhabi-
tants in their course have had some
chance at least to escape.
Wide Sweep of Lava.
From La Precheur around the north
ern end of the island, to Grande Ri
Were, Macouba, and perhaps to
Grande Anse, directly across the is
land from st. Pierre, the lava has been
flowing. Great crevasses are opening
from time to time in the hills. The
earth is undulating like waves. Rivers
are thrown out of their courses by the
change in land levels. In some places
they submerge the land and form
lakes. In other places they are licked
up by the lava that flows on them and
turns them to steam.
Die of Fright.
Constant rumblings, thunder and
lightning storms make the surround
ings so terrible that many persons
have actually died of fright.
There is no reason to change earlier
estimates as to the total loss of life in
the neighborhood of st, Pierre. Four
thousand people have been brought
here on lighters from the neighbor-
hood of LIE Precheur. There are still
others to take off. 1t is estimated
that as many as 1000 people have
died on the hills from injuries and ex-
haustion since they took refuge there.
Terror of Famine.
In this city, twelve miles from what
was once st. Pierre, the immediate ter
ror is starvation. Despite the supplies
that have been brought by the Suchet
and other relief ships, there has been
nowhere near enough for all the refu-
gees.
