RISE IN COTTON PRICES
 AFFECTS CLOTH GOODS

will appreciate from to 10 per cent" said NJ V. Joseph, of the firm of Love- man, Joseph & Loeb. Neither the man. ufacturer nor the merchant can say just at this time what the increase in the prices will amount to, but the cotton goods market is controlled, of course, by the market price of the raw material.
 This increase in prices will affect such cloths as ginghams, domestic, sheetings, calicoes, etc, but will not have any ef- feet upon the finer goods"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-12-08

One of the results of the recent rise in the price of cotton will be the rise in prices of the manufactured product-cot- ton goods. The appreciation in prices it is estimated in Birmingham, will be between 5 and 10 per cent The price of cotton goods naturally is controlled by the price of the raw material, the same as with iron. steel and other com modities.
 While I could not give accurate fig ures, estimate the price of cotton goods

When I returned to the office about o'clock Mrs. Kate Thornton, my sterographer, told me that he had been breathing heavily. I was accompanied by L. c. Brinkmeyer and C. A. Koerner. We went into the office and found him unconscious. A half pint whisky bottle, about third empty, was near him. We sent for doctors and they worked on him for hours
 'I do not know why he should have taken the opiate, except that he felt keen ly the losses of his friends, and saw finan- cial troubles still staring him in the face"
 It was also suggested yesterday after noon that the whisky was poisoned, and that remaining in the bottle will be analysed. An attempt was made to kill him about two weeks ago, and it was thought that this might be a second at- tempt, but the theory was given up later, and people generally conceded that 1t was an attempt at suicide.

Local shipping people are daily eX-
pecting to hear of the arrival of the

out 131 days from Honolulu with a full

much over a month. The other vessels
of the round-theH fleet now out

Putnan'S
Cherry
Cough
Comfort

is so we'll known that it seems hardly
necessary to mention the name because
this remedy will be found in every
home. The moment a cough developes
a few doses stop it, You want to nip
the cough at the start then it's easy.
An old cough is troublesome to cure,
but Putnam's Cherry Cough Comfort
will stop any cough that's durable.
Another reason for it's wide popular
ity is, it is easy to take. Children do
not object to it. 1t does not contain
injurious ingredients, like opium, but
IA made principally from the extract of
wild cherries, one of the best remedies
for throat and pulmonary troubles
known.
Insist on having the genuine Put
MANS Cherry Cough Comfort, and ac-
cept no other that is recommended
Just as good because you will be dis
appointed.

METHODISTS ADOPT
CATHOLIC METHODS
OLD-FASHIONED REVEALS WILL
NOT WORK AMONG NEW YORK's
POOR-CONFIRM CHILDREN.

NE WORK, October 13.-At a meet
ing of Methodist clergymen engaged in
gospel work on the East side in this
city, numerous pastors declared that
the old-fashioned Methodist revival is
failure in that quarter and that their
work is successful only when they in
troduce confirmation classes for the
children. Evangelical work along the
old lines has been practically abandon
ed. The leading workers declared that
parents like to dress their children in
white and have them received in the
church in classes. This has been ar
ranged, they said, by exercises inter
polated with questions from the cate
Chism.
