The cotton maket. to-day opened active
under a scramble Of shorts to sell. The
connmotion was due to a general array of
hearfsh influences The weather and crop
reports were most encouraging. Europe sold
the late months in a moderate way, balt

Special to Times Republican.
Union, Oct. 31.-Not since the night
that poor Henry Burgduf was stabbed
to death on the streets of Union has
there been such public feeling aroused
over anything locally than the suicide
of pretty Fannie Whitmore, deputy
postmistress Of Union.
People talked Of 1t all day yesterday,
from early morn till late at night, and
the evening papers were watched for
with great eagerness. Such a feeling
was prevalent that the friends Of the
young woman would not have stopped
at mob violence had the man who is
generally considered to he responsible
for the young girls homicide been
where hands could have reached him.
Fannie Whitmore was all that q
loving and ladylike girl could be. and
there was no one who was more re-
spected. The fact that she was chosen
as a deputy by Postmaster Haas is an
indication Of the esteem IN which she
was held here. The only child of a
widowed mother, now heart-broken, the
pride sof her very life gone from her
forever, Is picture that can only be
imagined by the many. people who

Applications for Men to Teach Rural
Schools. Are Numerous.
Waterloo. Oct. 31.-Men teachers for
rural schools are scarce article in
Blackhawk county. County Superinten-
dent Moore has three applications for
men teachers for the winter term and
has one to fill them. The rural d.
rectors are very DESTROYS of securing
male teachers for the winter term, Of
fering several more than the usual
salary for them, one school director
stating that he would pay $40 or more
If he could secure competent one.
The cause Of the big demand is that
in a number of schools the lady teach
ers have kept very poor discipline and
that patrons are complaining. The
winter terms begin Nov. / and Is and
to secure the teachers.
It has been definitely decided to
hold the annual institute about the
same time as last year-the third and
fourth weeks of June. For this reas-
on nearly all the fall terms of sAhool
of the county will begin before Mo-
vember Is in order that the summer
terms will be completed by that date.
It Is stated that Henry Sigglekov,
the treasurer of district No Lester
township, is the cause of the difficulty
with the teacher concerning the TAX
ing of the funds raised at the social
for library purposes, instead of John
Hays. the director, as stated Tuesday,
Mr.. Hays is in favor Of the library
and is highly incensed at Mr.. Siggle-
kov's action.

Audubon Oct. SIC. j. McCune,
prominent stockpan of this place, was
drugged, slugged and robbed some
where between Council Bluffs and Om-
aha at midnight last night and relieved
Of over $150 in cash. besides q watch
and other valuables. When found the
man was in an Omaha Council Bluffs
car and was in state of intoxication
or else was suffering from the effects
of drug administered to him some
time in the evening.
Detective Callaghan was on the same
car and noticed McCune when he got
on. The fact that something was wrong
was apparent to the officer, and Nc
Cune soon told his story. He said he had
come to Omaha with some cattle and
had received for their sal cash
amounting to nearly 5000. He started
out to see the sights of the place, and
after taking a few drinks he says that
he was soon Joined by number of
good fellows" who helped him cele-
brate. Here his memory fails him and
his whereabouts for the rest of the time
until he found himself on the car are
unknown to him. McCune failed to ac-
count for the loss Of the balance of his
roll and the watch which he claims to
have carried.
Owing to his physical condition and
the apparent effect of the drug or of
intoxication he was placed in room at
the police station and will be given a
chance later to establish his identity
and to assist in the discovery Of his
stolen property.
