The sun, who waits for no man in

did not see one thread of favor in his
heart. We looked again wistfully at
his warm, large house to see a young
man gazing out OF the window and a

a Jap. or Chinese cook. Again, our eyes
dropped on this wealthy lord, who, in

well, for twenty years. anyway" said Mr..
Schumacher, land it isn't likely to go so
high for long time again if the bears
succeed in getting it down soon Mills in
New England are closing, some are sell
ing their staple, and one Lowell factory
has shipped back its raw material to New
Orleans. This is unprecented in the cotton
trade, thing that is always looked upon
as the paragon of stability
1.-THE cause of it all is that one man, a
man by the name of Brown, too, mas the
market cornered Some funny things are
resulting from it, and the tight price is
bringing lot of queer cotton into the
market. You'd wonder what could be
queer cotton, but 1 tell you that one
was of the crop Of 1872. Just thirty-one
years old. It's owner had held it that
year it was grown for 16 cents, couldn t
get 1t and then Swore that he'd never sell
it for less than the 16 At that lime cotton
went up to IA cents and he shipped the
bale to New Orleans to be re ady for the
16 when it came. 1t was stored In a. room
and since has remained there, his agent
having instructions to sell it whenever 16
was reached. In those years it had lost
fifty pounds, but experts pronounced it to
be as good as ever.
Yes. sir so valuable is cotton at pres
ent that gin mill owners are scrapirg the
floors. and have made up several bales,

MRS. DALE BRINGS
FICTITIOUS UNCLE
into DIVORCE SUIT
Wife of Proof Reader Poet Pro-
duees a Witness Supposed to
be Related to Her but He De-
nies Consanguinity.

Mrs Martha B. Dale, who is suing
for a divorce from Arthur " Dale, the
poet, experienced something of q shock
in the hearing of the case for the Gus
tody of their children before Judge
Jaggard in the district court yester-
day, when E. L. Bowen, of Mcmillan,
Wis, who, she had testified, was her
uncle and was willing to care for the
children, took the witness stand and
under severe examination admitted
that. he was not the woman's uncle,
that he was no relation to her what
ever, and that he had met her but four
months ago at a boarding house on
Fifth street
The Dale divorce case has been on
before Judge Jaggard several days, be-
ing continued from day to day for fur
Their evidence. The defendant is rot
fighting the application for a divorce,
but he demands the custody Of their
three children, who are now being
cared for at the Protestant orphan asy-
lum. Mr.. Dale desires that the chill
dren be left at the asylum, but the wife
is fighting for the possession of them.
and in order to show that she had a
good home selected for them, testified
in court yesterday that her uncle, Mr.
Bowen, desired to take them home
with him and care for them.
When Bowen was placed on the
stand. he permitted the impression to
prevail that he was the Woman'S uncle
but when the court questioned him
closely regarding the relationship he
admitted that he had never seen Mrs.
Dale until some four months ago, and
that he was no relation whatever
when I first met her, she introduced
me as her uncle, and I have allowed
people to believe that / was" said
Bowen.
Being further questioned, Bowen ad-
m1tted that he was married man and
his own at Mcmillan, Wis. He said.
however, that he was willing to care
for the Dale children.
was willing to burden herself with
such an addition to the family, and
Bowen declared she was, but the court
decided that it would be better to hear
from Mrs. Bowen herself on this ques-
ton, and held his decision of the case
in allegiance, taking occasion, however,
to criticiSe Mr.. Bowen for allowing the
impression to prevail that he was an
uncle of Mrs. Dale.
Mrs. Dale, when asked how she came
to know Bowen, said she had seen his
name in a directory, which said he was
Christian man, and that she had
written him to assist her in securing a
place for her children
Bowen produced a number of letters
recommending his character, which
purported to bear the names of the
pastor of a church in Mcmillan and a
number of the business men of that
city.

have the company pay a share in the

John Ross, the man who was taken
from a train at the union depot in an
unconscious condition Tuesday after
noon, suffering from poisoning, recov-
cred sufficiently yesterday to inform
the physicians at the city hospital of
the circumstances attending his arri-
val in st. Paul.
Ross, who is a laborer, had been
working for the Great Western at Fort
Dodge He said that he was on his
way to St Paul and that on the train
he met two men, one about Twenty
five years old and the other about thir-
ty-five years old. The latter he de-
scribes as rather stout, having brown
whiskers and wearing black coat and
a straw hat. He could not remember
the appearance of the other man.
He was accosted by those men, he
says, and he asked them if they knew
where he could get work. They re-
piled that they could secure work for
him at st. Paul. They remained to-
gether and one of them offered Ross
drink of whisky from bottle. Ross
accepted it and soon after was offered
another which he also accepted.
Ross says that he then lost con-
seriousness and knew nothing of what
happened to him till he awoke yester-
day morning at the city hospital Ross
says that he had in his possession
about $50 when he was ON the train
and he thinks that his companions
robbed him of the money. They dis
appeared when the train reached st.
Paul, and nothing has been. seen of
them.
When Ross was found he had in his
pocket half-filled bottle of Eminent, a
draught from the contents of which it
was at first supposed had been re-
sponsible for his condition. He denied
yesterday that he had drunk any of
the liniment, and the physicians think
he was the victim of Knockout drops.
