STEALING A WELL.
The Misfortune That Befell a Family in
MICHIGAN.

Underground robbery is new variety,
of course, but it is always the incredible
that happens remarked the last man
who had found chance to talk. We've
had a good many things stolen out of our
backyard since We began to live on the
old place where we are now-my fathers
old place-but the theft which grieved us
most was that of well-our old well, that
was dug about forty years ago. You can
replace shovels, axes. hatchets, coal,
wood, or kindling which is stolen from
old WE'LL
The other men all stared. and one OF
them said that he didn't see how anybody
could steal we'll.
That's true, too,' said the other man.
1T is astonishing, and we couldn't be-
lieve it for long time. Our old we'll
suddenly began acting up and we sent
for the pump man. thinking the pump
was out of order. He said we needed a
new pump; SO it was ordered and put in
place-a SIS pump. Goodness, | wish
had that SIS back again.
For a few days the water seemed to
come ali right, and then the well acted
up again; water wouldn't come at all
sent the again, WV
him his old pump wasn't any account
didn't bring up any water. He investigated
the matter and returned the astounding
verdict that there wasn't any water in the
well, not a drop. We could hardly be-
lieve it. but had to accept it. Weeks and
months went by, but the well never came
back to business at the old stand. The
whole family grieved over it, and the
neighbors, too. That old well had been a
local patriarch. so to speak. On train
one day / was telling another man about
the unaccountabie disappearance of our
good old family well, and he asked me ii
any new ice factories had started up IN
the neighborhood. / told him that one
had begun operation a block away from
us just about the time we lost our well.
That's it, he said. ice factories al
ways sink very deep wells, and that ice
factory has drawn off your well. That
happened in cur town once, and five other
wells in the same neighborhood went. too.
By jimminy, what we need in this country
is society for the protection OF wells
This is true story" concluded the
speaker, "and our stolen well has never
come back. Detroit Free Press.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

THE COTTON MARKET.
Sudden Renewal of Activity in Liver
pool Spot Dealings.

NEW YORK March 5.-Really the only
striking new feature in cotton was the
sudden renewal of activity in the spot
market at Liverpool, where the sales
jumped to 15,0C0 bales.
This of itself was largely the cause
Of a further advance here today. But il
was re-enforcod by higher prices there

Houston estimate. some decrease in the
New Orleans estimate, and loss in stocks
at the thirteen interior towns of $500
bales, making loss of approximately

Wall Street bought; spot houses were
buying May, though selling July, and the
speculation was active, both here and in
New Orleans.
The market closed firm. with quotations

Less Liquidation.

Today's market did not chow BY any
leans such general liquidation as was
noted yesterday and in fact, such declines
as were scored were as rule limited to
fractions. In the railway list extensive
advances were scored in Colorado South
ern shares and Iowa Central. and there
was a fairly sensational advance in Chi
cago and Northwestern. Other compar
atively firm features were Rock Island,
St Paw. and Southern Pacific.
The Reading and Erie issues continued
rather heavy on uneasiness as 10 the up
shot of the meeting of the United Mine
Workers 10 be held week hence.
There was nothing definite to be said
in connection with the spirited move
ment in the Colorado Southern shares,
although il is generally believed the con
troll OF the property is rapidly passing to
other corporations. among which, ii is
believed, the Atchison Company will take

As Regards Cotton Oil.

The majority of the stock Of the Amer
lean Cotton Oil Company has for the
last six months been deposited with
protective committee, but holders Of the
stock, in many cases at least. retained the
right 10 withdraw it when they so de-
sired. Recent rumors to the effect that
the control of the American Cotton Oil
Company was being acquired in the in
;erssts of the Virginia Carolina Chemi
cal Company are not believed TO be well
grounded at the present time. although
the latter great concern might presum-
ably be willing TO take over the control
of the cotton oil company at u satisfac-
tory price.

Dealings in todays stock market began
under inauspicious circumstances, the
most novel of which was the renewed evil

authorities to enforce strictly the exist

The announcement of the resignation OF
one of the members of the executive
