the RICE MARKET.
Talmaee's Report.

The past week showed frac-
tional falling away in demand,
due in part to interruption OF
Labor day. AS might be expect
ed, at this the transition period,
individual operations are on con-
servative lines. AS soon as the
Trade have recovered from the
fatigues of vacation, more atten-
tion may be given to the regular
routine of supplying the wants
of the millions. Assortments
are fair and under strong advices
from primary points, prices are
we'll sustained.
Reports from the Sonth note
harvest we'll under way on the
Atlantic Coast. First new crop
Carolina was received August
Both, consisting Of a parcel Of &C

receipts will come in slowly, as
planters are devoting time and
energy to securing the crop. Al
New Orleans, the market fol
Cleaned is very strong and trihe
higher than last week. Sales o1
Cleaned to date, are far ahead OF
any season past five years.
There is a despondent tone in
some of the advices from South
west Louisiana and Texas, re
garding the harvest; while many
report large outcome per acre,
others claim prospective yield sc
small, that no attempt will be
made to harvest; incidents of this
character, modifying the usually
glad and hopeful feeling incident
to harvest time.
Cables and correspondence
from abroad, report little change
from quiet conditions heretofore
noted.

DEATH UNDER
THE WHEELS

Roy Holbrook, sou of Mr.. and
Mrs. b. F. Holbrook of 32s Riverside
avenue, South Canon. met death in a
fraightful manner Monday night at
II :45, Mt Pueblo. He, in company
with another young man from this
city, went to Pueblo together on the
excursion to attend Buffalo Bills
show. When they were ready to re-
turn in the night, they went to the
railroad yards and young Holbrook's
companion said they were not trying
to bum their way back, but that
they jumped ON the front part of the
engine which was switching in the
yards in order to get ride to the
depot. where they were going to board
the excursion train for Canon CITY.
When Holbrook went TO jump ON the
switch engine he missed his footing
and was thrown under the engine.
He called to his companion for help,
but he was too late. The engine
passed over one leg, cutting the mem.
Der Off and otherwise injuring him,
from the effects of which he died
shortly after.
Word was sent to the young man s
parents in this city and Mr.. Hoibrook
went the following morning to take
charge of the remains.
Roy Holbrook was is years of age.
He came to this city with his parents
from Kansas City about six months
ago. His father is the foreman Mt the
Cripple Greek shops in this city.

John Wanamaker, of Philsdelphia,
the prince of American merchants,
says his success is due to newsnaper
advertising, and similar testimony is
given by the leading tradesmeu in
New York, Chicago, st. Louis, in
fact, all the cities, towns and villages
of the country
Reliance upon superior advantages
or reputation, cannot take the place
Of advertising, and the man that pins
his faith to them, is in a fair way of
coming out of the little end of the
horn," when final invoice is taken.
The managements of the late Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo, and
the more recent West Indian ExDosi-
tion at Charleston, had it in their
power to achieve success, but neither
of them realized the ambition of their
promoters. The former relied too
much upon the attractiveness of Nj
agra Falls and the latter too much
upon the beauties of its sub-tropical
climate and historical environments.
and, so, as consequence, two really
clever displays closed financial fail
ures. Had the exposition officials and
the railroad companies Joined in
little circus publicity the crowds of
sightseers could not have been trans
ported fast enough without recourse
to box cars, so great would have been
the public desire to see these wonder
fully advertised shows. s..........
Some four nouths ago the sens
Fourpaugh circus exhibited in Madison
Square Garden, New York. The first
night the capacity of the great build
ing was sold and the box Office
closed an hour before the performance
commenced. II was advertising that
made it possible for the treasurer of
the show TO dispose of four bushels of
silver in the bank the next morning

More dead than alive Mr.. Page was
taken to Florence by his rescuers,
where n warm bath WAS given him
and wher' dry suit of clothing WA
placed nj his disposal, which quickly
revived and comforted him.
The buggy was found half buried
in the sand and boulder, after the
water had subsidized, but it was a com
plete wreck. The horse was also in
jured. but it is believed, will even
tuslly recover. Mr.. Page. who came
here yesterday morning, says he would
rather take the chance in going over

into such an inferno of waters a. he
experienced in the suburbs of Florence

| MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

Mr. A. Page Of .his city. having
occasion TO visit Portland, in the east.
ern part of the county. yesterday on
business. reports most remarkable
experience while ON his way home
about clock in the afternoon. Mr..
Page made the trip as far as Florence
by rail, where he procured a hor-e and
buggy form Sam Higgins livery
stable, and drove the remainder of
the distance: reaching his destination
early in the afternoon. Having at
tended to his errand Mr.. Page started
to return to Florence to catch the west
bound d. 4 X. @. train for home, and
IL was while on the way that the ad-
venture alluded to bcfell him. A
heavy rain had fallen in the mount
aims north of Florence in the course OF
the afternoon, but there had been only
u slight precipitation in the vicinity
of that place during the day. In
driving along the roadway Mr.. Pagr
was compelled TO pass through water
from few inches to "a foot or more
III depth. but he never suspected there
was auy danger ia II. About three.
quarte-s of n mile east of Florence,
however, he innoccntly plunged into
IA washout and came near losing his
life by drowning. As soon rs his
horse became aware that he was in
deep water, lac turned his head down
the current and was carried away by
the water. refusing to make any effort
TO get out on terra tirma. Mr.. Page
was thown out of the buggy into the
swirling torrent and carried over the
brink of prccipice some fifty or
sixty feet away, and fell into draw
or aurora, where the water was
fully fifteen feet deep and probably
twice MS broad rs its depth.
Thoughts passed through Mr.. Pages
miud with lightning like rapidity,
he being perfectly conscious of the
peril which surrounded him. He felt
sure that his time had come and he
made no special effort to avert it. The
water was cold and immersed him in
its turbulent rush Mt least dozen
times and he was powerloss to swi m
against its current. He looked behind
him and saw the horse and buggy
coming directly toward him and he
felt, rather than realized, that they
would ovcrwholm him, IL by any
chance he might escape otherwise,
After he had been carried down stream
nearly hundred yards, he succeeded
in clasping his arms about lump of
adobe, which protruded above the sur
face, and held ON like grim death,
until relief came. He saw his horse
and buggy carried rapidly by, both
of which were rescued at the railroad
crossing, u quarter of mile below.
Mr.. Pages cries eventually attract
ed the attention of a gentleman in the
vicinity and he was drawn out ON the
bank by the means of n rope.

A WELCOME RAIN

\ long looked for and much needed
rain fell Tuesday afternoon. People
of this vicinity have been wishing and
praying for rain and the fall Tuesday
was much appreciated, notwithstand-
ing the fact that there was tent show
in town on that day. One resident
remarked that about the only time
Canon City was treated to rain was
when circus or celebration of some
kind was being held here.
Another man said that the people
of Licoln Park had their ear sticking
straight up since the rain; before they
all dropped.

THE RUBBER-STAMP MAN

If business man sees fit to daub
his letter heads and envelopes with
rubber stamp and thus lead Gus
toners TO think there are no printers
in town, he ought TO be salted. Such
man as that, when he comes to die,
should have his obituary and the usual
resolution OF his lodge printed on a
board fence with a rubber stamp.
When he has a baby at his house or
party or son or daughter married,
a full account OF the important event
might be printed on a sheet of wrap
ping paper with rubber stamp and
tackled up in front of his house. and
when he is candidate for office, he
might stamp label to the effect that
he wants to be constable or road
overseer or justice of the peace as the
case may e, and pin it on the bosom
of his pants, and when the opposition
says it Is blamed lie pin that on too,
Come TO think of it, there is no end
TO which rubber stamp might be
put in the hands of an enterpris-
ing and useful man.

that the tent was being torn down.

Warden +. H. Martin of the peni =
tentiary Monday commenced action
in the state supreme court against Dis
trict Judge J. l. Mullins of the
Second judicial district for setting
free ON writs of habeas corpus Jacob
Thomas and William Moran. War
den Martin desires to have the action
of Judge Mullins set aside ON the
grounds that the judge exceeded his
authority in the cases, and has no
right to review the decision of u court
of coordinate jurisdiction.
A few days ago Judge Mullins re-
leased these men ON writs of habeas
corpus.
Warden Martin demands that the
cases be reviewed on the ground that
Judge Mullins did not have the right
to set the men free. A writ of super
sedeias has already been granted in
the case of John Vaughn by the SUI
prome court. Vaughn confessed to the
crime and, therefore. there was no
doubt he was guilty. After serving
two years of his sentence, under the

act he is able to leave the prison.
