All Depends on
August Weather
But High Prices Are Predicted
for Cotton Even With a Phe-
nominally OLarge Crop.

dicted with any degree of sstls.
faction at this time. Weather
conditions the next 80 days to six
weeks Will tell the tale. The fact
that the acreage is the largest on
record this year is offset by the
fact that the crop throughout the
cotton belt is at least two weeks
late. Favorable weather in Au
gust will send the yield up above
hlghwater mark, though it is pre-
dicted that even with an eleven
and half million bale crop tho
prices, on account of the present
famine, will he high.
Mr.. L. III Wannamaker, when
approached on the subject yester-
day had this to say of conditions
generally:
"One peculiarly about the cot
ton business is that by mutual
consent all the men who are en-
gagged in it, are permitted to en-
tertain positive convictions and TO
express their views quite empha-
tlcaIly on all occasions, and should
ones judgment prove wrong ten
times to one that it is light,
everybody Is expected to see the
correct guess, and never mention
the prophecies that failed to ma.
teriaIize.
"You have of course forgotten
those bearish views expressed by
me last fall, and | now rise to re
mark that the developments in the
cotton trade the present season
have astonishcd everyone.
"Had it heen admitted in the
early part of the season that the
crop would approximate II, 900,
600 bales, it would have been
conceded without argument, that
9 cents would be full price for
cotton. We know that the crop
will fall very little short of H.
600, 600, If it does not exceed it,
yet the consumption has been on
such an enormous scale that we
practically have famine, and
strict mdding cotton is easily
worth 13 1 R-cents, in spite of
the fectt-tnat millions of spindles
are idle, rs the result of short sup
plies. This condition makes the
progress of the gro wing crop of
supreme interest to dealers and
splnners alike. There must be a
yield of eleven and half million
bales of cotton in the minimum,
or continued curtailment of cen
sumption. If prices are to be kept
within reasonable bounds the COM
ing season.
"The acreage is the largest on
record by probably 3 to 4 per
cent. and the consumption of fer,
tilizars is also greater than ever
before. AbnormaIly low temper
ature and excessive rains through
out the belt, were very unfavora-
bic for cotton up to about the
middle of June. Since that time.
however, the conditions have
been quite favorable, and with
continued good seasons and a late
fall, a large crop may reasonably
be expected. The crop however is
one to three weeks late through
the entire belt, and the chances
rather favor a moderate yield.
The crop is now passing through
a most critical period, and the
next SIX weeks will largely deter.

plenty of moisture through the

Wet the sifted materials by stirring in a cupful of rich milk, and put the batter over the top of the meat in large spoonfuls, being careful not to allow the dumplings to sink far below the liquid. Cover the pot pie as closely as possible and let the stew boil hard for from ten to 12 minutes. There must be enough gravy to prevent the meat from scorching, and yet not enough to allow the dumplings to sink into it and become heavy and sodden before they have chance to rise. The dumplings are really held up on the meat and cooked by the steam of the gravy. They should not be put in un- til about ten minutes before the stew Is done. They should be taken up when done and arranged in circle on hot platter. The meat should be laid in the center, and the thick gravy in the bottom of the pot should be thick ened and seasoned.

TO MAKE VEAL PoT-PIE.
rhese Directions Carefully Followed VIII Insure Perfection in
 the Savory Dish.

Veal pot pie is triumph of the American housewife. Comparatively few people succeed in making the crust light, faky and perfect as the pastry of French chef, yet permeated with all the savory flavor of the meat, says the New York Tribune. It is always made of cheaper portion of the meat, like that from the shank or the shoulder. Boil part of the shank bone with the remnants of the meat clinging to it for about two hours. Brown two pounds of the lean meat from the shank m tablespoonful of butter. Season the pieces well and when they are thor Dughly Drowned cover them with about quart of the stock from the shank bones. Let the Drowned meat simmer in the stock for about two hours. At the end of this time the meaf6hould be thoroughly tender, and there should be only just enough stock around it to prevent the dumplings

water added to it. It should be boiled up again for a moment and poured over the meat, not over the dumplings, which should form white f1aked bor- der to the meat and gravy. A tender, well cooked veal stew, lamb stew or white fricasee of.chicken is the only stew appropriately served with bor- der of dumplings cooked over it. The dumpllngs must always be as light, Haky and tender as biscuit, permeated with the savoriness of the meat they are served with. It must be the light est and whitest of crusts. There is no excuse for heavy ystreak in the crusts, and no reason for it except unskillful management. Only delicate meats should be used in pot pie. Beef or turkey is too strong in flavor to be used with dumplings. Pork or mutton are too greasy. An old hen, in spite of the popular prejudice i in favor of using her in this way, is not fit for pot pie

0rHH coNvrcT1s DAUGHTER" :"

This attBactive melodrama is being presented at Polls this afternoon and will be repeated this evening. "Weary Willie,'' the principal character in the drama, is undoubtedly the most unique stage individuality found in theatrical history He is "hobo," but not the typical tramp of star truck-riding fame. He is educated, philosophical, cynical, magnanimous, self-secr1fcing and loyal, and his heart contains the metal of a man under all circum- stances. His life teaches a whole some moral lesson. Rounded, threat ened even with death while in the tolls of the villain. with the stigma of a crime he did not commit on his life, he bears himself with commendanle courage through all his misfortunes. The hour ot-his great triumph comes when a dying man conNesses he is guilty Of the crime for which "WiENe'' suffered. and in restitution becueathes to him, like the famous Monte Cristo. q valuable mine and other property. making him rich and happy. Then his time for vengeance on the venom ous villain comes, but 1t is tempered with mercy and charity for q ruined banker. Altogether it Is rare stage character and one that possesses ex- traordinary interest for every student of human nature and particularly for theater-goers. Prices are popular.

ROsTOCKs wILD ANIMALS.

BOSTOCK'S WILD ANIMALS.
 It is expected that the big Bostock animal show, which opens weeks en- gagement at Polls Monday afternoon, will arrive in Waterbury some time to- morrow or Monday morning. The task of conveying the animals from the cars in which they travel to the theater is by no means an easy one, and it will be under the personal su- pervision of A. H. Dexter, the mana ger of the show, assisted by corps of trainers and experienced animal men. Manager Dexter, in discussing this fea- ture of the business with a Democrat reporter to-day, said that so great were the precautions used in transferring g wild animals in these days that there was little danger, but through an ac- .cident while the show was in Balti> more, previous to it's New York en- gagement, one of the lions escaped and took to a big sewer main running through the center of the city. When the news got abroad the knowledge that there was "a lion roaming about beneath the city caused a panic. The flow through the main under ordinary conditions was not sufficient to inter fere with the lion, which was one of the smaller specimens, MT Dexter said, and the frightened citizens expected to see the animal appear almost any, where. Doors were locked and win dows barricaded, while children were kept off the street altogether. Adults kept under cover pretty we'll, too, and men wen about prepared to sprint for safety. It was evident, said MT Dex. Der that something had to be done and a capture was arranged. A big cage drawn by four horses was rushed through the streets. and finally halted over manhole not far from the point where the lion entered the main. A screen of canvas was hurriedly set UT about it and a gang of men with clubs whips and revolvers entered it. Soor there was a terrible commotion, a flu sillade of revolver shots, and at las down came the screen and the cage which had been closed when it arrived was driven away with the sides of and the lion plainly visible through the bars inside The populace was imme ldfately relieved and the city resumed its normal condition. It was three days latter before the escaped lion wa! really captured, however, the lion il the cage having been there all tht time. Mfr Dexter, however, says tha nothing of the Kind will happen here but he declares that there win be plen Ity of sensation in the performances that the animals will give every after noon and evening during the week Prices will be popular.

State Land Board.

The Lewiston Tribune, noting the
arrival of Norman Jackson, chief
clerk of the state land board, IN that
city, says:
Chief Clerk Jackson is now engag-
ed In completing the selection of 40,
600 acres of agricultural and timber
on Joseph plains, opposite White
bird, on the Salmon river breaks.
Afterward he will be engaged in select
ing IS, 600 acres of timber lands still
remaining to be taken for the public
institutions, and 300, 600 acres of
lieu lands which will mostly be taken
up under some Of the canals now
being constructed.
The present policy of the board,
Mr.. Jackson explains, will be to sell
no more timber, as this is increasing
in value very fast and individual
holders who are anxious 10 realize
can supply all that buyers are need
ing at this time. The board will,
however, sell off the full constitu-
tional limit of % sections of school
land per year and even then cannot
reduce the states holdings of agncul-
tural and grazing lands as fast as
they should pass into the hands Of
permanent citizens. Mr.. Jackson is
in favor of removing the present
restrictions on the amount of land
that can be sold in a year, but Of
still retaining reasonable restrlc.
ton.
The permanent school fuld now
has $14S, 600 cash in the treasury be-
sides $40, 600 that has been invested
already this year Applications are
already in for the full cash balance,
including $50, 600 for the Lewiston
school bonds, and by the end of the
year the whole fund now on hand
will be invested. Owing to the press
ing current work Of the department
Mr. Jackson has been unable to com
pute the full amount OF the perman-
ent school investment but it is grow
ing very large, comprising high stacks
of notes and bonds The grazing
leases this year, the receipts already
being s13, 600 against $4,000 last
year The counties where the Iivii
est demand exists are Idaho, Wash
ington, Kootenai and Boise.
