Eruption. on the Moo.

Messrs. Loewy and Puiseux, of the
Paris observatory, in issuing some ad-
ditional plates of their Photographic
atlas of the moon, refer to the recent
volcanic cataclysm at Martinique and
st. Vincent, and say that, study of the
lunar surface leads them to think that
e%ruptions, quite al intense as the
greatest recorded on the earth have
occurred on the moon, repeated at
long intervals in the same places. But,
Favored by a condition of calm and
dryness, they have been more durable
in their effects, and the more recent
deposits snperposed upon the earlier
mes are distinguishable by their dark
er tone and less extended boundary"

Bear. in Yellowstone Park.

Numbers Of bears congregate
around the dump heap back of the Can
yon hotel in the grand canyon of the
Yellowstone. They are unabashed at
the presence of people and are fairly
tame, although they retreat when
any one offers to handle them. One
bear carried. a tin can from the dump
on his foot for over two months.
There are probably thousands Of
bears in Yellowstone park, ~ the gov

The Left Lead.

The left lobe of the brain, govern
ing the right side of the body, is known
to be superior to the right lobe in its
influence upon the bodily functions.
Dr.. Phelps, a recent Investigator, in
sists that the left brain is also the
intellectual half. He has studied
nearly 800 cases of brain injury and
disease, and has found that the RIGHT
side may be severely injured without
materially affecting the thinking pow

THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE.

There is more to be expected and
more real hard-sense business to be
transacted by the board of super
visors than appears on the surface.
It has a large responsibility on its
hands and much legislatlng to do
and much hard studying and figur-
ing. 1t requires more real hard
common sense, more business tact
and a sounder Judgment to run the
board of supervisors as it should be
run than the legislature of the state.
Therefore the very best men of the
county should be placed in charge.
The board has to look after the
moor of the county, known as the
county's wards. 1t has TO look out
for the condition of the old roads and
the LAYING out of new roads. 1t has
m see to the building of new bridges,
and If the members know nothing
about bridge building the county is
the loser, which sometimes amounts
to a serious thing. Old bridges must

here again good judgment must
ha used or the county will be fleeced.
Court houses and jails must be built,

taught, the county again may have
its leg pulled. There are always
sharpers who are looking for dull
boards of supervisors.
A member of the board of super
vlsors should attend to the business
of the county as though that business
was his own. If one had private
bridge to be built he would let it out
to the lowest bidder, just as the
board does, but he would not stop
here; he would be around every
other morning just to ask the con-
tractor what was the news if nothing
else. at the same time casting his
eyes over the work. But not so If he
is member of the board and the
bridge is county affair. The
county bridge Is inspected after 1t is
completed and all the defects
covered, and it is received, the
money paid, and the contractor goes
his way rejoicing. he bridge may
stand, under favorable condition, for
the time 1t is guaranteed, but gener-
ally no longer, and then the expense
comes of repairing. This must be
done every year. The bents have
given way, the strlngers have rotten,
the approaches have great holes In
them, and the entire structure Is IN
a state of collapse, all because 1t was
not built substantially and the TIM

Out in the eastern part Of Smith
county the other day the report
comes that terrible battle was fought
between the AinsworthsF and the
Windhams, whites, who live neigh
bors to each other. They had a
pitched battle and after the somke had
cleared away it was found that three
Of the Ainsworths were very badly
wounded and the probability is that
all three of them will die. No ar
rest had been made up to the last re-
port. About fifty shots were fred
and after empting their pistols they
continued the fight with any old
thing on which they could get their
hands. 1t is very deplorable to think
that neighbors who have lived near

then in their declining years shoot
and hack each other to death. But
such seems to be life, land death too.

Der of cheap and inferior quality.
This is only one Item. But who
can blame members of the boardo 1t
is a work of love practically, and
! men these days do not work for love
except for the love of money. They
are not paid enough to justify them
to look after the best interests of the
county as they would after their
own. The salary Is so small that the
best and most intelligent men of q
county will not hold the position.
Business men who have plenty of
private matters to attend to cannot
be induced to serve the county for
the salary paid. They can remain
in their offices and make that in q
week. Hence it is an office that Is
given to whoever will take it as
general thing.
While this is true, it Is little
strange that all the boards that have
come under our observation are COM
posed of some good material-old
men, old farmers, who hold their
trusts as sacred and do the best they
know how. In no case can we recall
where the board of Perry has made
serious mistake, and. it has had
some very complicated questions to
contend with. It has been careful,
and thoughtful enough to seek adj
vice from the very best sources.
And it's well-well for it and the
people of the county.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 5.-The persistent
weakness of the United States Steel
securities to-day was a weight upon
the whole stock market. The repres-
sive effect was evident at the outset
when the stocks of both classes and
the second bonds all opened at lower
prices than ever before. But the in
fluence was resisted for a time. except
for a few stocks affiliated with the iron
and steel trade.
During the forenoon the effect on the
railroad list was hardly perceptible,
and a number of railroad stocks held
above last nights level. Dividends
came off a number of important stocks
this morning and the appearance Of
cheapness thus produced perhaps en-
couraged some bidding up. Both Penn
sy1vania and Atchison were in this
class. Amalgamated Copper also Of
fered some resistance in the early part
of the day. apparently on account of
the putting forward on the court cal
endar of the litigation in Montana. The
whole market however, yielded in the
late dealing and the closing was weak
with many Of the standard railroad
stocks a point or more below last
night. The industrials and specialties
showed wider declines. In the out
pouring of United States Steel stocks

points to an advance of Z points I'M
der the conflicting influences of lower
cables and realizing as opposed to rath-
er less favorable climatic conditions
and bull support. On the call there
was no particular activity, but for the
first half hour or so afterWard the
market was more wildly excited and
active than at an time since the days
of the old bull campaign. To the gains
of yesterday substantial additions
were made as prices were forced up
at record-breaking rate, with the bull
leader bidding aggressively all along
the line, shorts covering in a panic
stricken condition and buying orders
pouring in from all sources. Before
the first rush of buying had subsidized
December was selling at 10.93c, Janu-
airy 10000, representing a net gain since
the close of yesterday 25 to 80 points,
while the advance since the low point
OF last Monday was a matter of about
$500 a trading contract. Such a profit
as this could not fail but prove attrac-
tive and there was heavy realizing on
the higher level. Still the market for
time displayed firmness, yielding only
few points. Then it was reported
had said that the advance was too
rapid for so early in the season when
new cotton was coming to market in
such volume. 1t was rumored that a
strong Wall street bear clique had been
formed and selling became more gen.
eral with the result that while very
active, the market in the afternoon
worked downward until at the close
the net gain was a matter of only Ga
II points. The market was finally
steady, with the total sales estimated
at 100000 bales, this being a days
business but once equalled in the his
tory of the exchange. There was little
OF special or news nature to account
for the great activity and squirt There
were more bullish crop estimates cir
culated, notably one placing the prob
able crop at about 10,375, 900 bales,
which was issued by a local exporting
firm bearing an excellent reputation
for conservatism, and this naturally
contrasted very bullishly with Mr..
Ellison's crop estimate of the worlds
requirements. The weather was hard
ly so favorable as recently, there being
scattering rains, with the forecasts
calling for cold weather in the West
ern belt. On the other hand, the re-
ceipts were full, and exports light. The

long continued decline which they have
already undergone, let loose a flood
of rumors and conjectures. Some of
these were colored with a sensational
tinge, but the conviction was general
in the street that situation in the iron
and steel trade was very discouraging
and that conditions were much upset.
Sales were made in the outside market
of the next dividend on United States
Steel common at II of 1 per cent. on
several thousand shares.
The West and South took 100000 of
currency again to-day in continuation
of the outgo and sterling exchange
weakened. RumorS were circulated of
further engagements of gold, but were
not substantlated.
The bond market was easy as a re-
suit of the tightness of the money mar
ket. but dealings were dull. Total sales,

New York, Nov. 5.-There was an
almost unlimited demand for cotton
early in the day and later an equally
unlimited amount for sale. The mar
ket was simply wild from the opening
and no one knew what jump would
take place next. Liverpool sent prices
into the air 10 to IA points and lots
Of buying orders were executed in the
local market. The demand early was
so great that cotton could not be had
except at a big advance. One buyer
tried to get 500 December, when the
price was 10.77c and he paid 10.S4c for
it. The difficulties in the way of trad
ing were so great that many custom
ers were dissatisfied with the eXecu-
ton of orders. This could not be
helped. We can only say that we have
never seen all options move around
as they did to-day. You had to pay
what was asked. Cotton changed
hands in 10000 bale lots. For big
trading the market makes the record.
AS far as the outlook goes, we can
hardly venture an opinion. There has
been a big advance and for the pres
ent top may have been reached, but
with consumption placed at 10,S00OOO
and the crop at less than 10,500 900
there is nothing to sell cotton on. There
will be a pinch somewhere before an
other crop is made, and the buyer on
breaks will make money.
