MARKET IS BROKEN BADLY

New York. November 1S-The cotton market opened firm at unchanged prices to an advance of 8 points, chiefly as a result of very bad weather reported from the western belt where in some instances temperatures were reported to be within about ten degrees of zero, with the chances favoring their spreadin" to the entire cotton country. The showing haa advanced and at the hour of the local onening was about as expected. Private cables. however, reported that MT. Ellison had reduced his estimate of the worlds requirements to about 10,650,0OO bales and this took some of the edge on the bullish enthusiasm, as did the indifferent showing of New Orleans and the con- tnued large movement.
 After advancing another point or so the market influenced by these factors was depressed to a net loss of from to points on the active months, when It was again rallied as the estimated receipts for tomorrow were rather under expeeta- tions, though still well over last year figures. This was accompanied by pre- dictions of a falling off in the movement and for time 1t looked as though the market was going to reach a new high level
 The bulls were more aggressive the room which had gone short early, cov- cred and buying orders were received from out of town. Before the advance was checked prices showed net gain of 10 to 13 points. Then came a period of irregular but generally lessened sta bility and just before the close the mar lxet was broken badly by rumors that the big bulls were unloading, which was ac- companied by selling that seemed to ori- ginate with these sources.
 This attracted heavy selling from prac- close were about 25 to 2S points below the high level of the morning. The mar ket was finally weak and net 13 to 20 points lower. Sales estimated at s0O,000 bales

WILL NOT BUILD THIS YEAR.
Armour & Co. officials Will Not Ex-
pend Money for EnIargins Plant This

Season.
Despite the fact that the Armour &
Co. branch in this city has done the
second largest business In the state
during the past year, and stands first
among the company's forty four houses
within Iowa. from 8 profit making
standpoint officials of the company
have decided that they will not expend
any money in enlarsing the plant In
this city this year.
1t was hoped by Manager 2. 4. Stoltz
that the officials would allow consid-
cradle sum for the local branch for inn
provements and enlarging the capacity.
as the business has been somewhat
handicapped owing to the lack of prop
er facilities to handle the enormous
business.
1t was thought last fall that the COM
pany would enlarge The plant and In
stall an artificial feeding department,
where fowls would be fed and fattened
by machinery While the company may
still do this it has decided not to ex-
pend the greater amount necessary Tor
erlarging the plant during the coming
season. With the year ending Jan. 20
the Davenport house handled the larg-
est amount of business during the year.
Marshalltown was a close second, but
in the per cent of profits made, based
on the amount Of business done. the To-
cal plant leads all others in the state.
This showing, considering the facilities
for handling the same. is most satisfac-
tory to Manager Stc!tz.
State Inspector c. r. Bains, who was
in the city Tuesday. brought the decis-
ion of the officials regarding their disin-
clination to expend any more money in
the local plant this year. Assistant
Auditor w. N. Smith, OF Chicago, also
spent Tuesday in this city.

CALL FROM BEING Blu RNED
Mrs. George Herman Has Narrow
Escape from Being Burned Alive.

Only the prompt action of her hus-
band doubtless saved Mrs. Herman
from being badly burned this morning,
when her night robe caught fire from
the blaze in the kitchen stove, which
she was lighting. BY throwing his over
coat over her he extinguished the
flames, which did no other damage than
to badly burn her cothing and scorch
her hair
When the accident happened Mrs.
Herman was In the act of building the
fire in the kitchen stove. Suddenly, for
some unknown reason, the flames shot
out of the stove and caught the sleeve
OF her night robe, ard followed the gar
ment up the sleeve. She screamed ana
ran to her husband, who was In an adj
joining room. and who quickly threw
his great coat around her and smoth-
cred the flames. Altho very badly
frightened Mrs. Herman was but little
the worse for her experience.

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations are the Leaders
in Every Branch of Human Ad-


vancement.
The ruling nations of the world are
meat eaters and history records that
they always have been.
yegetarians and food cranks may
explain this in any way they choose.
but the facts remain that the Ameri-
cans. English, French, Russians ana
Germans, are meat eating nations,
and they also are the most energetic
and most progressive.
The principal food of the heroic
Boer soldier known as Biltong, sort
of dried beef, afforded a great deal OF
nourishment in highly concentrated
form.
The weak races of people are the
rice eating Chinese. Hindoos and ST.
amese, regarded since the dawn OF
history as nom progressive, supersti-
tious and inferior physically and men
tally to the meat eating nations who
dominate them.
The structure of the teeth plainly
indicates that human beings should
subsist upon variety of food, meat,
fruit and grains, and it is unhygenic
to confine ones diet to any one of
those classes to the exclusion of ar
other
Meat is the most concentrated and
most easily digested Of foods but our
manner of living is often SO unnat-
ural that the digestive organs refuse to
properly digest meat, eggs and sim
liar nutritious and wholesome food,
but it is not because such food is un.
wholesome. but the real reason is that
the stomach lacks. from disease or
digestive
element; hence arises indigestion
and later on chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty OF
ment. convalescents should make meat
the principal food, hard working peo-
pie have to do so. and brain workers
and office men should eat, not so much
meat but at least once a day and to
insure it's perfect digestion, one or two
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be
taken after each meal, because they
supply the peptones. diastase. and
fruit acids, lacking in every case OF
stomach trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh Of the
stomach gastritis, sour stomach. gas
and acidity, are only different names
for Indigestion, the failure to digest
wholesome food, and the use OF Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets cures them all because
by affording perfect digestion the
stomach has a chance to rest and re-
cover It's natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
real household medicine; 1t is as safe
and pleasant for the stomach ache of
the baby as it is for the imperfect di-
gestion OF its grand sire.
They are not a cathartic. but a d.
S gestive, and no pill habit can ever
follow their use; the only habit that
Stuarts Tablets induce is the habit
OF good digestion and consequently
good health.

Joseph Kunkel, a bartender in the
employ Of w. C. Rails, had a queer ex-

The bullet was 3s-caliber, and made
a bad wound, but fortunately only the
fleshy portion was involved. The wound
is not at ali dangerous. altho it is quite
painful.

much benefit as an interurban railway.
1t is a different proposition here than IL
is In the east. There the system has
been to parallel the old steam roads.
That is all right there, for the towns
are larger 1t wouldn't pay here to par
allel the Iowa Central to Eldora, or the
Northwestern to Tama. Why? The
population is not sufficient to entersinto
the competition for business.
Mine miles south of us lies the Mil
waukee. Twenty miles or so north the
Rock Island, and point six miles east
is Grundy Center, and about the same
distance west Eldora. Marshalltown can
promote a scheme that will connect
these three county seats. and tapping
the Milwaukee on the south, say ut
Ferguson, we will have a railroad sys-
tenn that will be of direct benefit to
Marshalltown, that will bring people
here at cheap prices and unite these
three county seats commercially. The
territory tributary to Marshalltown,
that can be reached, will be more than
double that now reached by jobbers
II have taken the trouble to send
about a hundred letters during the past
few weeks, and in them was contained
a series of questions along a proposed
line to Grundy Center and Conrad. How
was it received? With almost universal
satisfaction. The farmers state that it
is the proper thing to do, and they are
willing to give UP their highway for
right-of-way. But few are willing,
however, to subscribe for stock.
