The Independent Farmer
! II seems that the prevailing opinion
! throughout the country is that the crop

| short OF the demands for manufacture
ana consumption. 1t is seldom that
contrary opinion is expressed and yet in
face Of this apparent consensus OF J'us-
rnent the price has Dropped 10 cents ln
orr. inland southern markets and seems
ly,1or.ng undetermined whether to re

whom are themselves cotton growers, M
sist on marketing cotton slowly just
enough 10 keep up the price. They are
advised to sell SO much each month ana
not 10 throw the entire crop on the mar
l5et in tho course of q few months. ono
writer ARGUES that as It takes twelve
months to produce a crop OF cotton ana
the cotton mills must run twelve months
in the year, that therefore TN" farmers
should take twelve months to dispose q
their products instead OF ero"dlnS y

tees of the Club to Serve During

of Statistics.

The executive committee Of the Com
mercial club met at noon at the club rooms.
A contract was made with William Buthorn
TO run the club dining rooms after Febru-
airy 2 and It was decided that after that
time the privilege Of eating there would
be confined TO the members Of the club
and their friends.
The matter Of a bill to be introduced In
the state legislature providing for the es-
adjustment of a state bureau OF statistics.
as advocated by the Nebraska Real Estate
exchange, was referred to a committee.
The bill was apparently looked upon with
favor and the indications are that the Com
mercial club will aid it with its endorse
ment.
On behalf Of the grain men Of the city
who are endeavorins to establish a grain
market in Omaha, w. c. Sunderland and
S. A. McWhorter addressed the committee
and asked assistance in the matter of grain
rates into Omaha. They declared that the
city was being sldetracked and discrim-
mated against in favor Of Kansas City.
Their cause appeared in a light favorable
enough to have 1t referred to the trans
portation committee for Investigation.

PET CAT GUARDS DEAD MISER
A supposedly wealthy Merchants
widow starves in a DiIapi-
dated Home.

Coroner weisendanger of Yonkers began
an Investigation yesterday Of the death OF
Mrs. Patrick McDermott, 95 years old,
widow of a New York merchant, who was
found dead from exposure and starvation
In a dilapidated cottage at North Pelham,
In Westchester county. For two weeks,
reports the New York Tribune, the aged
woman had been 50 weak from illness and
lack of food that she was unable to leave
her home, and as a result she slowly
starved to death in her lonely howell. Her
body was almost a skeleton.
Neighbors say that Mrs. McDermott was
insane over money, and would never spend
a cent for food. Michael McHugh, a
neighbor and an old friend Of her husband,
gave to her a supply of food for a Christ
mas present, but she hid most of 1t. 1t Is
said thai she had considerable money hid
in the rafters OF her old tumble down
home, and today a search will be made for
secreted wealth.
When the coroner arrived at the house
he found Mrs. McDermott on a pallet Of
rags, while near by a cat that had been
her pet sat moaning, as she guarded her
dead mistress. The cat refused to move
and was taken away by force, biting and
scratching at its captors.
Twenty-Five years ago. when the McDer-
motifs moved to Pelham, Mr.. McDermott
had considerable money and purchased sew
eral houses and lots there. Several years
ago the property was sold by the West
chester sheriff to satisfy a judgment OBJ
tanned against Mrs. McDermott's son Fran
els for debt. Mrs. McDermott, it is said,
did not know until recently that her home
had been sold over her head and then
began to pine away.
