MARSHAL WOUNDED
BY DESPERATE NEGRO

JEFFERSON, Ca, Dec. 4.-About
o'clock Sunday morning, Marshal j. j..
Pettyjohn arrested Arch Chapman, col
ored, of this place, for disorderly conduct
and started with HIS prisoner to the cal
laboose. Just after passing the residence
of Mr.. James L. Williamson. Arch Chap
man, the prisoner, jerked loose from Mar
shall Pettyjohn and began to cut him
with a knife or razor. Chapman got Mar
shall Pettyjohn down on the ground and
cut him in several places on the nose, lips,
face, head. shoulders, back and side be-
fore Mr.. PettyJohn's cries for help
brought assistance. Mr.. T. w. Webb
heard Mr.. Pettyjohn's cries for help and
went TO his rescue. Arch Chapman left
of hts assault upon Mr.. Pettyjohn and
started towards Mr.. Webb with a
cleaning, bloodstained weapon in his hand,
when Mr.. Webb knocked him down with a
chair, and finally, with the assistance Of
Mr.. Pettyjohn, the prisoner was subdued
and the three started toward the calla-
boose with him. When In front of the
courthouse, the prisoner Jerked loose and
made break for liberty and succeeded in
escaping in the dark. Mr.. w. d. Holiday,
the acting marshal, and a large posse OF
citizens OF this place put bloodhounds up
on his tracks, and after a short chase,
succeeded in recapturing the escaped pris-
oner, who has been committed to Hall
county jail ia default of bond, where he
will be safely lodged until the meeting -
the next term of court.

DISEASE GERM
MAKES CHILD
VERY LAZY
DR.. CHARLES w. STILES, OF
WASHINGTON, DECLARES
CHILDREN OF SOUTH ARE I'M
PERILLED BY GERMS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. BIN an address
before the sanitary conference of the Am
erican republic DR.. Charles w. Stiles. Of
the agricultural department, who has just
returned from a tour Of the southern
states, where he studied the sanitary con-
ditions carefully. declared he has found a
germ responsible for the conditions which
have resulted in the crusade against child
labor in the southern mills.
He calls the germ the hook worm and
the disease It creates is ucinariasis. In
explaining, he practically said he had
found the germ of laziness. He explained
that uncinariasis produces a condition Of
which the symptoms are greatly like
those of continued malaria. for which 1T is
almost invariably mistaken.
The presence Of this disease In the
south In past years." he said, had result
ed in the pitiable condition Of the poor
whites in many Of the southern states. Its
presence in succeeding generations had re-
suited in their inferior physical develop
ment and mental powers. and is the cause
OF the proverbial laziness of the Georgia
Florida cracker.
This laziness." DR.. Stiles says, 'is an
abnormal and not a normal condition, and
attention paid to this matter by planters
and farmers in the southern states would
result in not only improved conditions
generally, but great increase OF the
percentage of work which they would Sc
cure from their employees"
The crusade against child labor in the
south, DR.. Stiles declared. was due entire
ly to the general presence of this disease,
and he made the remarkable statement
that children who come from the country
districts to work in the mills became gen.
orally greatly improved as a result of the
better sanitary conditions in the cities,
and the better facilities for the cure of the
disease. DR.. Stiles said that the disease
had been diagnosed, and 1t was suscepu-
BILE of cure. The trouble is to identify II
and prescribe the proper remedies.
To do this it would be necessary to ed
ucate the physicians in the sand districts
as to the symptoms, causes and effects OF
the disease. and to this end the depart
ment Of agriculture would shortly issue
a report prepared by him, which would be
widely distributed in the southern states.

Weekly New Orleans Cotton Review.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. s.-The event of the
week was the bureau report Of Wednesday last
estimating this crop at 10, al 900 bales. The I'm
mediate effect was decline OF 10 points from
prices ruling just before the report was read
and an almost as quick recovery to a level
even above prices current before reading Of
the document or say to sol on reading Of It
and a recovery TO s.13. Since Wednesday trade
has ruled very dull, March selling to 81. Since
then the wise circular writer's here are almost
to q man bearish supposedly being short. These
wise people are generally more unwise than
wise. The statistics are bullish, the into-siEht
Friday showing a decrease under last year Of
1000 bales. The alleged wise ones here at
tribute this to bad weather. Time alone can
solve this but the best information says other
wise. The situation may be summarized about
follows TO date:
The cotton market Is now sleeping on the
effect OF the stimulant administered by Dr.
Hyde In other words, bulls and bears are
alike disposed to throw estimates OF all sorts
into the waste basket and wait patiently for
facts. The change OF mood is, from all points
of view, logical and sane. Man Is guessing
animal. to be sure, but the cannot guess all
the time. From this time forth, values win be
mainly shaped BY the magnitude OF the move

New York Cotton.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy with prices to points
lower in sympathy with weakness In the
Liverpool market. The room trade also
was influenced by better weather In the
south and predictions for increasing re-
ceipts next week. There were very few
public orders in evidence and the room
bulls were in no mood to buy cotton so
long as the public maintained its present
Indifferent attitude. The private cables
declared the silver situation was assum-
ing such a serious aspect that investors
were withdrawing from the market, while
professional bear sentiment was steadily
growing. The advices from dry goods and
cotton goods centers were not particu-
larly gratifying, though prices lacked Inn
portant changes. The Liverpool market
was due to come about one point lower,
but at the close was net 2 to points
lower. The room took profits toward the
close of the first hour but as this demand
was not urgent, prices barely rallied two
points. Port receipts were heavy con-
sidering the recent bad weather south, and
the private kilograms asserted that the
southern spot markets were easing a tri-
file. The early wave of selling carried
March down to S.12; May, STA, and Au-
gust to 7.9S.

BOLD F0RGERIES
IN COLUMBUS
ATTEMPTED
UNKNOWN PERSON SECURES THE
KEY TO THE PosToFFIcE
BOX OF WELL KNOWN
FIRM THERE.

COLUMBUS, Ca, Dec. 6-The details Of
three rather bold forgeries came to light
Thursday afternoon In the discovery Of an
attempt to swindle e. Phillips & Sons. q
coal firm OF this city, out of something
over 500. It seems that the forgrr had
lost his nerve and the scheme fell through
as far as he was concerned.
About a month ago one Of the Phillips
firm lost a postoflce key and the party
who found IT took a great deal Of the
firms mail from its postofdce box, two
Of the letters containing postofice order
for S. This the forger raised to SO and
forged E. Phillips & Sons endorsement.
The money order clerk paid It. After
few days another letter was taken from
the box which contained a check from a
firm in Ellaville on the bank in that CITY,
The stranger forged the name of z. Phil
lips & Sons on the check and sent It in
a letter back to the EllaviIle bank, asking
the cashier to send him postoffice money
order for the amount. He signed the
name Of B. n Burk TO the letter. The
check was further endorsed with the
name Ira g. Clarey, and the endorsement
was forgery, too. The bank at Ellavflle
complied with the request, but In the
meantime he had got another check from
Phillips mail, and after endorsing II at
tempted 70 cash II at the National Bank
OF Columbus. The teller saw the endorse
ment was forgery, and went to call up
the firm up over the phone. When he re-
turned to HIS window the man who had
presented the check had gone. This incl
dent IS supposed to have frightened Burk
10 that he left town, as the letter which
came from EIlaville with the money order
enclosed. was never called for and there
fore the order had not been cashed.

WARRENT0N MERCHANT
GOES INTO BANKRUPTCY

AUGUSTA. Ca, Dec. A petition has
been fled with United States Commits
sioner George K. Calvin here. through
his attorney, Mr.. e. p Davis, by Mr.. E
B. Farmer Of Warrenton, to be adj
judged a voluntary bankrupt. Mr.. Farm
er has been for years conducting the
largest general merchandise business IN
Warrenton, and was thought to be doing
well. The failure of the bank at War
renton some months ago disclosed the
fact that he was heavily in debt to the
bank. This caused mercantile agencies
to withdraw their rating and creditors
to press him. After a brave struggle OF
several months he was at last compelled
to give It up.

For the moment the wretched weather sup

clearing skies that refuge will have to be
abandoned. On the other hand the evidence
Of Unprecedented consumption will have to be
met. Down to the present time the public has
been wonderfully conservative and the profess
SIGNALS have consequently had to practice on
each other. The profits have. therefore, been
absurdly small by comparison with the mover.
It is a case Of Chinese cheap labor. simply

MILLIONAIRE
DRANK BEER
AND DIED
POISON MYSTERY DEVELOPS
IN SUDDEN DEATH OF A
WEALTHY BROOKLYN MANU-
FACTURER.

NEW YORK. Dec. 4-An Investigation
by the coroner into the sudden death on
Tuesday of George F. Leyh, wealthy truss
manufacturer of Brooklyn, has developed
considerable Of a mystery. The investiga-
ton Is proceeding.
Leyh was over 20 years old. and is said
TO have possessed an estate Of more than
$4,000.
It was HIS custom to eat luncheon in the
rear OF his place OF business. With his
daughters. he made his home in apart
ments above. On Tuesday luncheon was
brought as usual and Leyh went into the
cellar for bottle Of beer. He took It from
a case containing 20 bottles. On taking on
the top he found the beer nat, but drank
part Of a glass. 1t tasted badly, and he
called to the office boy, whom he asked
to taste the heveridge. which he said was
bitter. The boy placed the glass to his
lips and said the same. Leyh arose and
started across the room. Suddenly he fell
and died in 20 minutes. The doctors found
that his death was probably caused by q
strong irritant poison.

Murphy g Co.'s Grain Letter.

CHICAGO. Dec. s.-There was a firm tone to
wheat nearly all day but Just before the close
there was selling on the part OF several large
commission houses, causing an easier feeling
and a small decline from yesterdays close
Armour sold little May and December both. St
Louis was a moderate buyer; northwest and
New York were early buyers. The feeling was
bul1ish to great extent. induced by higher
cables and some foreign news. There was no
special feature to the market. COMMISSION
houses being best early buyers and scalpers
sold. Commission houses had a little December
for sale and Armour also sold some.
December corn started out with a decided
upward tendency but offerings at the advance
caused a slump Trade in May was slow but
the market ruled firm and there little dis
position to sell this option. Fears of manipu-
lation in December are causing traders to tight
shy OF May. Late weakness in wheat caused
little selling but the close was nrm and a
trihe higher.
There was a good trade in oats Cash houses
were large buyers. The cash demand Of yes
terday and severe weather west were the In
f1uences. December advanced nearly a cent
AMI May was out half a cent.
Provisions were easier all around with the hog
market. There was a small demand from pack
ers and commission houses with locals doing
the bulk OF the selling. Trade was only fair
and the market presented no feature out OF the
ordinary.
