Weather Reports.
COTTON TRADE NERVOUS
The forthcoming Bureau Statement From
Washington Awaited With Much Anx-
iet}--Heayy Sales Of Stocks Fol-
lowed by Dull Close.
CBy the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 1.-THE market ha:
been without new feature today in any
department business is of moderate
dimensions on home account at previous
prices Export division is inactive
throughout.
NEW YOPK COTTON.
New York, Dec. 2.-The cotton market
opened steady at a rise of two points
and further advanced to IL points on
the more active positions with the I'M
provement generally due to bad weather
news reports, public and private, from
the cotton belt, showing large rain
areas which were regarded as detri-
mental to the quality of the top crop
as well as shortening the quantity, fol-
lowing the severe and general frosts.
The market was further assisted by the
message of the President. Buying was
still further stimulated by the assump-
ton that the Bureau report and crop
estimate might fall as low as 100000
bales, although from this figure local
expectations ran up to 10,0000OO bales,
with perhaps 100000 bales the more
popular figure looked for. The latter
subject to the usual percentage of under
estimating by the government might be
construed as being in line with the
crop estimates recently promulgated by
the membership of the New York Cotton
Exchange and the Savannah Cotton EX-
change. the ore being 11,077 900 bales
the other 11.190,000 bales. The entire
bureau" subject. however. left the cot
ton trade in nervous frame of mind,
end the forthcoming statement from
Washington is looked to with much
anxiety by all classes of operators. The
local market for spot cotton advanced
five points, and the nearer points on the
future list continued to attract the at
tention of spot buyers with some evil
dence of large remaining special inter
est in January, which renewed careful
attention to that particular position. The
market finally was steady at a net rise
of to IL points. Total sales estimated
at 100000 bales.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have 50
much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer one Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

NEVADA.

LYON county's Commissioner in
the other end of the county is
making quite vigorous campaign
for reelection with the county
funds. Last month a number of
men were put to work repairing
the Dayton and Como road and
a good job was done, although it
was at the expense of making the
voters in Como travel a distance
of ten miles to cast their votes.
Whether this was a move in the
way of economy or scheme to
force the Como miners to come to
Dayton to vote can best be mag
ined by those who are acquainted
with the character of the man who
is boss of the Board.
This month the road between
Dayton and Silver City is receiv-
ing a thorough overhauling and a
number of Silver City voters get
on the pay roll.
The TIMES always has been and
always will be an advocate Of
good roads, and if it was neces-
sary that the above work should
be done at all it was necessary to
have it done months ago. No per-
son who so openly uses county
funds at time when it will bene-
fit his political aspirations is fit to
conduct the county's affairs. 1t
may be cheap way of election
eering, but it is not square deal
for the taxpayers. The plan fol-
lowed by Mr.. Gates of allowing
the roads in his district to get into
such shape that it takes several
hundred dollars to repair them
about election time, when half the
money would have done the work
if applied at the proper time, will
not rebound greatly to his credit.

THE Irrigation Congress which
met at Colorado Springs last week
was attended by prominent irriga-
tionists from all sections of the
country. Before the meeting adj
journed resolution was passed
rendering to President Roosevelt
the thanks of the people of the
arid West for the interest he had
taken in the scheme to redeem the
arid lands of the west for the peo-
pie. During the entire session no
mention was made of Mr.. New
lands. He probably overlooked
having his name written up for
this occasion. The Congress will
meet at Ogden next year.

New Use for Refined Paratfine Wax.

A new and important use for Re-
fined Paraffine Wax seems to have
been discovered by prominent resi-
dent of Ohio, living near Lancaster,
who had two trees badly damaged
by storm, one being maple and the
other an apple. In each case large
limb was broken down from the
trunk, but still attached to it. The
limbs were propped up and fastened
securely with straps, very much as
broken leg might be fastened with
splints, and then melted refined wax
poured into and over all the cracks.
The surgical operation was en-
tirely successful. The Paraffine pre-
vented the escape of the sap, kept
out the rain and moisture which
would have rotted the trees, pre-
vented the depredations of insects,
and the limbs seem thus far to be
perfectly re-attached to the trees.

In his address in the Owl Hall
last Friday evening, when referr-
ing to the silver issue H. F. Bar
tine spoke of the time when the
editor of this paper was one of the
leaders of the Silver Party in
Lyon county. There was such a
time. 1t was a time when we be-
heved that independent action
would do some good for the silver
cause. The writer left the Re-
publican party at that time sincere
in the belief that the principle was
right. The great stump speaker,
Bartine, made fun of the Silver
Party then and could not be in
duced to join it. Now, when there
is no more chance to obtain free
coinage than there is to build a
railroad to the moon, Mr.. Bartine
is great free coinage man. The
Carson Meas says he is being paid
$50 week and expenses to advo-
cate the election of F. G. Newlands
to the U. S. Senate. Surely this
is a cheap man. One of the diff
ferences between Mr.. Bartine and
the writer is that the latter left
the Republican party as matter
of principle while the former did
so for pay, and small pay at that.

THE name of F. G. Newlands,
candidate for United States Sena-
tor, will not appear on the ballots
to be voted at the next election.
Just what kind of Juggling was
done to bring about this condition
of things will probably not be
known. 1t is very probable that
his name is not on the ballot tor
some reason considered good to
his managers. The name of T. P.
Hawley will appear on the ballots
as he was duly nominated in con-
vention. 1t should not be forgot
ten, however, that by placing a
cross after Hawley's name you do
not fully vote for him, but simply
show your choice. To vote for
him Lyon county electors must

ers of those counties evidently
considered that due notice should
be given of such an event, law or
no law. This is another instance
of Democratic economy and re-
form. The Legislature of 1899
knocked out the law requiring the
publication of the election proc
lamation. The press ought to
stand in for another Democratic
Legislature or two and then pre-
pare to GO out of business. This
is only one of the knocks the
papers have received from the

LARGEST CABLE
 IN THE WORLD
Tts;s on the Newly Completed Line
 from Vancouver to Brisb bane.

Vancouver, B. C., October 31.-The completion Of the cable line between Vancouver and Brisbine was accom- plished at o'clock last night although the first message did not get through until this morning when the announce mcnt was made that one dream of the imperialists was a reality The cable is still in the hands of the contractors and it will not be open for business for about three weeks. During that time il will undergo an elaborate system Of tests in order that the officials may see that it is in thorough working order before being taken over from the con- tractors.
 The section between Bamfield creek and Tanning island, which is the long est in the world, has already under gone a series of tests and proved en- tirely equal to expectations. The great question in the success of the cable was over this enormous stretch. but it was found by a recent test to give speed of over 100 words a minute with the Deer love transmitter. The actual time occu- pied in the transmission of the mes sage from this city to sydney, Aus tralia, will be less than five minutes in the case of Q short commercial mes sage, and this time will be the course mainly occupied in the manual rapiti- ton of a message ct RamfieId Creek.

St. Paul, Minn., October 31.-Judge Sanborn in the United States circuit court of appeals today refused to grant an appeal from the decision of Judge Caldwell in the United States circuit court for the district of Colorado which ordered that a meeting of the stockholders of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company which. under the super vision of as special master appointed by the court, is to be held on December 10 for the annual election of directors and officers.
 The appeal from Judge CaldwelTs decision, which was made in Denver October 2, was sought by George F. Bartlett, one of the stockholders of the company. A writ of supersedeas from the interlOcutory order of Judge Cald- well staying all proceedings until the matter could be reargued in court was also asked by the plaintiff. A stipu- lation by which an order granting an appeal and writ could be filed on Sat urday afternoon should the court so decide had been arranged between the opposing attorneys, and today's argu- ments in the case were heard at length.
 The point upon which Judge Sanborn based his decision arose late in the af- ternoOn, when the arguments were aI- most completed. The attention of the court was called by Attorney A. M. Stevenson of Denver, to a paragraph in the brief submitted, wherein it was stated that on October 3. the plaintiff

PRICE OF MEAT
 PUBLIC EXPENSES
Serious Questions Which Have Sprung
 Up in Germany.

Berlin, October 31.-Increasing pres sure is being brought to bear on the government with the object of opening the frontiers for the importation of foreign animals. and a relaxation of the regulations created to exclude meat imports, or something which will a. ford relief from the excessive prices of meat, which has now risen to prices prohibitive for the laboring people, and which are seriously affecting the re- sources of the middle class families.
 The magistracy of Berlin, for in- stance, in a petition to the govern ment, says that if the prices Of meat continue as high as row, the salaries of the city employees must be raised, because their present salaries are based on times when the cost of food was much less than at present. The peti- tioners also say that the expenses O: municipal institutions have already in- creased S75OOC0 during the current year. which is attributed wholly to the higher price of meat.
 The best beef retails at A cents a pound, and other meats are proportion- ately high. The wholesale prices of the German market are from 15 t0 25 per cent higher than in those of the neigh boring countries, hence the people who advocate government action assert that the scarcity of animals is due tC the closed frontiers and the exclusion of many kinds of foreign dressed meats. the German farmers beins seemingly unable to raise enough ami
 mals for their country's requirements

had petitioned Judge Caldwell to grant an appeal and writ of supersedeas and that the judge had denied it. upon the ground that the order made by the court was not final and was therefor. not appealable. Judge Sanborn stated that it was a common rule among fed eral judges in coordinate offices not .o reverse decisions made by their fellow judges of the same court unless some gross error on the part of the other judges could be shown.
 Judge SanbOrn in his opinion says:
 'The question is not whether a re view of the case shall or shall not be had at some future time. but whether the review shall be ordered at this time An order was secured on August 2O is the state court of Colorado. prohibiting the holding of a meeting of the direc- tors at any time for any purpose. The order of the judge of the United States circuit court so far dissolved this in junction as to permit and direct a meeting of the directors be held for the election of officers on December 10
 He cited authority to show that 90 recent revision of the law deprived tho circuit court of appeals of the power to grant appeals from the decision uf another judge. in which an order rerus- ing to dissolve an injunction had been made and held that it was applicable in this case and upon these grounds re- fused the application for an appeal and writ.

HIS TALK FOR HIS LIFE
 MOLINEUX ON THE STAND
He Asserts His Innocence of the MUr-
 der of M1s. Adams.

New York, October 31.-Roland E. Molineux took the witness stand today to testify in his own defense against the charge of murdering Mrs. Rather inc J. Adams. In response to the ques- tions of his counsel, Ex-Governor Black, he declared his absolute inno- cence of any part or knowledge of the crime, and he categoricaIly denied that he had written the Barnet and Cornish letters that he ever made cyanide of mercury, or that he had ever seen the silver bottle holder in which the poison was sent until it was exhibited in court.
 He admitted having written and sign cd with his own hands one letter ask ling for a competent remedy, on the famous blue interlaccd crescent paper identical with that on which the Corn ish letters were written, and he said | that he procured the paper at the Wal dorf Astoria. His bitter differences
 with Cornish, which resulted in his leaving the Knickerbocker Athletic club were related by MulineuX without any apparent reserve.
 The witness sustained unmoved, q rigorous cross examination by Assist l elilI l'lSlilCl 8llOIIty OSDpIHe, dllSNeI- 1 ing all questions as to his past life his relations with Cornish and Barnet and
 tn efforts he and other members of the
 club had made to discover anyone who
 had 2 common enmity to the two named.
 | The feature of the cross examination
 was MT. Osborne's successful effort to place before the jury the substance of
 the testimony given at the first trial by
 Mamie Melando end Detective Farrell. 1 but was excluded by Justice Lambert.
 This was accomplished by the eXperi-
 ment of framing a series of questions relative to statements purporting to 1 have been made by the witnesses out
 side of their testimony, but covering
 every essential feature of it. to which | frequent and vehement objections were
 made by MT. Black.
 | Throughout his examination and

DEAD IN A TUNNEL.
Four Men Suffocated by Poisonous
 Gas.

Niagara Falls, N. Y., October 31.- By sudden rush of gas, supposed to have been sulphurate ted hydrogen, four men were killed and three seriously af- fected near the Twenty fourth street heading of the tunnel trunk sewer to- night. The dead are:
 LAWRENCE FISHER, of Niagara Falls.
 GEORGE RHODES. colored. of Nj agara Falls.
 HUGO SWANSON. of Niagara Falls.
 WILLIAM BRANDISH, of Tona- wanda
 Thirteen men. comprising the entire second shift. were working on the sewer. They had started a heading at q new level and had loaded a blast which was to be discharged.
 After loading they walked back about 225 feet below the heading and shaft and four of the men fell to the floor of the tunnel. over which a con- siderable stream of water was flowing. The others, becoming alarmed, pushed ahead to the shaft. George Rhodes was ascending in the bucket when he was overcome by the gas and fell to the bottom of the shaft. He died from the result of his injuries.
 Seven others succeeded in getting out. Four men lay in the tunnel All are dead.
