err Unusual Circumstances,

st. Louis. Oct 30.-The body of a
woman known only as Rose suppos-
ed to have come from Pine Bluff lies
in the city hospital awaiting identifica-

located.
The woman appeared at the home of
Mrs. Maggie McCullom, 313 Spruce
street, two weeks ago, and asked to
be taken in She was very sick and
poorly clad, but had evidently seen
better days. Pneumonia developed
and the woman shortly .afterward be-
came delerious and no Ineligible ac-
count of herself could be obtained.
She gave her name as Rose before the
delerium set in, and was known only
by that She stated that she came
from Pine Bluff and had relatives
there.
She was removed to the city hospital
where she died without regaining con-
sciOuSnesS.

he local movement in cotton has
increased some this week over the
movement Of last week, and while the
local buyers have not had more bust
ness tfah they could attend to, they
arc kept busy sampling the baI>5 that
are brought HI. Most Of the crop that.
has been gathered and brought to this
city is what is noWn as staple cot
ton or that brought from the river
district The movement in hill cotton
isVefSZ light, owing To the fact that
the crop from the upper lands is ex-
ceedlngly light. River cotton ripens
first and did not suffer so much from
the dry weather as that grown in the
uplands and has made better crop.
ALI the merchants compliment the sta
pie cotton this year and say that it
is the best grown in the United States,
Pine Bluff is rapidly gaining he repu-
tatlon OF being the finest staple cot
ton market in the south Cotton with
staple OF | 12 inches was at one
time scarce, but this year most of that
brought to the city will average that
staple.
The buyers are complaining some or
the manner in which the product is
ginned and many bales of fine cotton
do not bring the highest price because
of the poor way in which it has been
giDned
The prices paid for staples is from
II l52 to Is cents per pound, and that
for hill cotton from to 12 cents.

phase OF much interest to railroads and

Another crying shame Is the whole

lax and. seemingly. unjust.to the roads

they may act in little spite to the
railroads but are really injuring them
selves and abetting crime Damage
suits are recorded as expense in operat-

CHAPTER XXI.
"O'er Land and Sea.

Again the man from Scotland Yard
was put in charge, and bent his ener-
gies to discovering what had become OF
those they sought.
The trail finally led them to the
water, and then they knew the crisis
was near
In all his life Jack Overton never
suffered such wretched pangs of re-
morse and despair as came upon him
while they looked out upon the dark
waters where the stars were reflected
upon myrmds Of little wavelets, and
considered what a trackless waste the
sea might be-
The detective at last secured positive
news.
Those they sought had gone to sea
in small steamer that had evidently
been awaiting their arrival
There was only one thing to do
follow
Given Ieverish anxiety to be afioat,
and unlimited capital in a seaport one
need no sggch very long for the craft.
The detect I've soon had them aboard
little craftSthat was used IN the coast
ing trade "a stanch and speedy boat,
such as would answer their purpose
admirably
Out Of the harbor and away
About daybreak of the second day
the wind blew great guns, and they
found themselves in storm.
The storm was at its height about
noon, and as they had been blown far
out of their course. no one might say
when the port of Santander would be
reached although the captain made
some sort Of a prophecy the under cer-
tain conditions they would bring up
there by the second night.
Al shutdown the storm still ragged
and the gallant little steamer struggled
desperately to hold her own
During the night, between the eat
maps he secured, the marquis was inn
pressed with the BELIEF that the vessel
did not pitch and toss SO violently and
upon making an observation found
that the clouds had parted. leaving
clear sky overhead
Upon reaching deck he found every
thing lovely
The sea had subsidized almost entire
ly and fresh morning breeze was
commencing to stir its surface into
myrlads Of laughing wavelets.
About noon the captain called their
attention by means of the glass to far
distant land to the south, which~he
declared to be the northern coast Of
Spain, showing that they were now
| traversing the romantic Bay Of Biscay,
known to the natives as the Gulf OF
Gascosne.
/ Thus there was now fair chance,
the captain promised, that before mid
night they would be at anchor in the
barbor OF santender
How like lead dragged the hours as
they steamed directly toward the bea-
cont
But al things must end, and finally
they entered the harbor where other
I vessels lay at anchor, and the captain
soon had their mudhook fastened in
spaniah soil
1t was perhaps ten minutes later
when the marquis appeared at Liver
more,s elbow as the latter stood at the
rail surveying the lights Of the town,
and said ia hoarse whisper:
snake no cutlery, my friend; control
yourself and listen Our captain Il
ready TO take his oath that the steamer
dimly seen on our quarter yonder is the
boat that LETT Dover. and which we
have chased over the seal'
The words OF the marquis electrified
Livermore. All his lassitude seemed
to suddenly vanish

Annual Appropriated Ordi-

LITTLE DEBATE INDUCED IN
Estimates of City Clerk Accepted
$96,O79.s5 for Special
Purposes.

/ The meeting of the city council last
evening was taken up almost entirely
by the consideration of the annual APP
preparations and the reading of the
items Of the budget. The council
went into committee of the whole,
Aid. Birkel presiding. After due con
lSideration the committee was dissok-
Ell and when Mayor McConochie went
back to the chair the ordinance in
regard to the appropriations was
adopted unanimously ON roll call.
None of the items gave rise to any
particular debate, though there was
some discussion on the item for
bridges and as to whether it should
come separately or under the con-
tingent fund.
The ordinance calls for the appro-
priation of $S2,904.O2, the amount of
the tax levy With the other sources
of income from public utilities, fees
and the like, this sum will be increas-
ed to one necessary to meet the needs
of the municipality for the year to
come.
The city clerks estimate of the
probable income to the city from
sources other than the general tax
levy was $96,979S5, and this amount
was apportioned among the various
funds in the usual manner by resolu-
ton.

BUSINESS MAN ASSISTS
A STATE INSTITUTION

The following appeared in a Chica-
go paper under a Macomb date:
Friends here of the Western Illinois
State Normal school. located at Ma
comb. are iubilant over the action of
Albert Eads. president of the Union
National bank, of Macomb, in coming
to the financial rescue of the school,
the work of which was seriously in
terfered with by the action of Gov
Yates in his veto of the appropriation
providing for the completion of the
second and third stories of the build

present of $1,000, which has been ac-
cepted by the trustees. and this. with
money which can be spared from the
maintenance fund. will enable the
Temporary finishing of four rooms on
the second floor and make room for
many students who otherwise could
not be accommodated.
THE Macomb school, which recent
| ~ closed its first year, had been more
largely attended than had been any
other Illinois state normal school the
first year. Owing to the incompleted
building the first story only could be
utilized, and so crowded was the
school that parts of two toilet rooms
were partitioned off and used for re-
citation rooms. Classes were also
heard regularly in the corridor and
Railways.
! The interference of the governor
in the finishing of the Macomb build
| ing is credited here to his dislike of
former Speaker L. Y. Sherman, whose
home is in Macomb While the gov
ernor vetoed the appropriation of
100000 for the completion of the
building, he did not interfere with
many thousands of dollars provided
for buying furniture and fixtures to
be put, in the two stories he will not
allow completed, and to pay instruc-
itors to teach in rooms which cannot

but declined to be interviewed upon
the main features involved. He adj

$1,000 had been made by Mr.. Eads.
who is a public spirited citizen, and
that it had been accepted conditional
ly. that is. in the event the board de
cides to finish up the additional
rooms.
