1owA's MEANEsT MAN.

lOdebolt Chronicle.1
The meanest man In Iowa lives In
Sioux City.
Last Sunday evening tall, lanky
parsonage, arrayed in a suit of butter
nut brown and wearing broad
brimmed hat, boarded the velvet linz
tied which leaves Sioux City at sos.
His wife, a refined looking woman, was
with him. About the time the train
reached Onawa she asked her husband
to take her back to the dining car and
get her something to eat, as she felt
tired and hungry and did not feel like
waiting until they reached Tama, their
destination. He replied that meals on
the train Were too expensive, and that
he would get her n sandwich at Jewell
Junction. She demonstrated, but with
out effect. This conversation was over
heard by a passenger who occupied the
next seat.
A few minutes later the man strolled
back to the rear of the car. and, watch
ing his opportunity, Slipped back thru
the sleeper and into the dining car
without being noticed by his wife. He
ordered a meal which cost him $115
and devoured it with evident satisfac-
ton. When he had consumed about
half his order he looked up and saw his

MUscATINEs CANDIDATE.
TMuscaline Journal.

/
The spontaneity and unanimity with
which the county convention on Satur-
day last selected William Hoffman as
the candidate of this county for nomi
nation for congress is the best evidence
that can be presented of his fitness for
the place. Mr.. Hoffman has for many
years been regarded as one of the
strongest members of the Muscatine
bar and an able and effective public
speaker. His energy and perseverance
in whatever he undertakes are marked
characteristics. MIR. Hoffman has en-
gagged in many fierce forensic contests.
hut friend and foe will agree that his
opposition has been in the open field
ard with the full understanding that
the contest was to be waged till victory
rerched on his banner or till every le-
ultimate resource at his command was
exhausted. We have sometimes thought
Mr.. Hoffman could be classed with
General Zachary Taylor, of whom his
hiographer said "he never knew When
he was whipped"
We have faith to believe that the
republicans of a majority of the coun-
ties in this district will concede the
claim that Muscatine now makes for
the congressional nomination, and that
as result Mr.. Hoffman will be nomi-
rated and elected.
William Hoffman is native of Ger
many, where he was born in the year
1916. During the same year he came to
the United States with his parents. who
settled at Philadelphia, whence they re-
moved to Grandview, Iowa, in 1852. His
fa Their was blacksmith and wheel
wright by trade.
He received an ordinary. common
school education in his early boyhood,
and, after the opening of the civil war
in 1862, being then IL years of age, he
enlisted in the Nineteenth regiment,
Iowa volunteer infantry, with which he
served three years until honorably dis
charged in 1865 at the close of the war.
Ten months of this time We're spent in
the confederate prison at Tyler. Tex.
After his return from the war he pur-
sued a course of study in the collegiate
department of the State University at
Iowa City, from which he graduated
with high honors in 1870 Two Years
later he was graduated from the law
department of the same institution was
admitted to the bar and opened an Office
end took up the active practice of law
at Muscatine, which has ever since
been his home.

About the Central of Georgia and Its
 Going to Pensacola.

Going to Pensacola.
 The Pensacola Journal of Tuesday says:
 Another rumor regarding the Central of Georgia's determination to come into Pensacola was circulated yesterday This statement came from Muscogee, where one line of the Pensacola and Perdido runs, and was to the effect that the C. of G. had purchased the entire roadbed and wharf facilities few days ago, and that the intention was to build into Pensacola and use Perdido wharf as the terminus. The rumor went further and stated that a big export warehouse with a fine wharf would be constructed in the near future or before the road is completed. and stat dredging would be completed by the time that the warehouse was finished.
 The gentleman who made the assertion that such was the case, said he knew whereof he spoke, although the matter was being kept exceedingly quiet. He further stated that the C. of G. officials knew that the purchasing of this wharf was the only chance in order to secure facilities for export business worth 15 cents.
 President Dishman of the P A. and T. was spoken to regarding the statement, and said he had not seen any of the off, knew nothing of the deal.
 A few we, .; ago several prominent men. suppose. to be connected with the GeorgiaIroad were in this city and went out over the line, but for what purpose 1t could not be learned at the time

As factors were all against an ad- ple continued to accumulate cotton in the face of facts now they are selling in the face of promising conditions This Is the way the market takes its revenge. Things are pretty well demoralized and until we get settled the line will he very uncertain. But there vii be less cotton pressed for sale here from the South. Exporters and spinners will buy cotton on break of this kind and the situation generally should prove more favorable to the market. It must not he for gotten that the size of the crop ts uncertain even yet and there is nothing in the out look to warrant lower prices than prevailed last year at this tine Tn fact the statistical position is very much more favorable than has been regarded by bear operators and after the

MARKETS FOR FUTURES OPENS EASY AND THEN RULES

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The cotton market opened easy at a decline of 2d3 points and ruled weak At one time there was loss or Io6f5 points apparent. The market was finally steady a ta decline of SOLE points The weakness in cotton today was scarcely to be accounted for by the more legitimate influences. which developed no new phases that were more bearish than heretofore ap- parent. The decline was more directly the prders There was on the other hand no evil dence of substantial support. the market de- pending on covering for buyers. The liquida- ffon of long accounts was said to include heavy New Orleans interest. which sold in the local market. Crop accounts continued gen erally dull with temperatures ranging from co to si In the cotton belt. The market was further weakened by a revised crop report from a Memphis prognosticator of note, who how is figuring upon a crop of lt.7oo ooo balee The decline in cotton has now been something like a cent and local sentiment re- fleets some disposition to buy on the theory of a reaction from this point. As a rule. how ever local sentiment remains bearish, the generally favorable climatic conditions for ma turing the top crop offsetting all other con- alterations in the local mfnd
