The day of low priced cotton seems

the bottom. From ten and twelve
cents the market for the past few
weeks has been gradually declining
until today Sl-2 cents We're quoted
on futures on both the New York and
New Orleans boards. The decline has
been gradual but steady. and is due
10 the large crop that has been har-
vested this year. While the market
LAS not broken heavily at any one
time the decline during the past week
has been nearly leo points and this
raeans a great deal to the farmer who
has much of his crop yet to sell. Cot

CAN MAKE STAGE SCENERY
F|REPROOF, SAYS MOFFAT7
Thinks His Discovery Will ELM
mate All Danger of Flimsy
Material Burning.

City Chemist \. Moffatt announced yester-
day afternoon that he had solved the prob
lem of ''fireproofing' the hangings and
draperies of a theater. He states that he
has discovered chemical solution in which
any fabric of no matter how delicate tex
ture or color, can be immersed and rem
dered TO all practical purposes fireprOof.
This solution stated Mr.. Moffatt, 'is a
perfectly natural one. free from any acids or
poisons, and will not hurt or discolor any
fabric piece of cloth that has been i'm
mersed in this solution will charr if placed
in direct contact with blaze. and the vege-
table matter in its composition will be de-
stroyed. but the cloth will not blaze up or
transmit the fire. 1t ceases TO burn when
the blaze is removed.
Paper can be treated to this solution" >"
ADDED the chemist, "and l suppose that
wood can be given a superficial coating 10
make il proof against occasional blaze.
All the ingredients are cheap. and suppose
the complete hangings OF theater could be
treated to the solution at total cost of not
more than S25 $50.
Mr. MOffatt had several pieces of muslin
cloth and of paper in his laboratory which
ne had treated 10 the solution. When a
lighted match was applied TO them they
charred but did not blaze. The burned pOr-
tions Of the paper and the cloth extended no
farther than those parts that had come into
direct contact with the blaze OF the match.

MAD DOG BREAKS LOOSE
IND DOES MUCH DAMAGE
Little Walker Bray and Others Are
Bitten-Killed by Bicycle
Policemen.

A mad dog caused all kinds of excitement
yesterday morning in the vicinity of Col
lege avenue and Sixteenth street. 1t sue
ceeded in biting number of people before
he was killed by Bicycleman Duncan. The
dog bit Walker Bray, the small son of City
Detective Bray, Of 1901 Ashland avenue
and seriously lacerated the boys face and
hands. John Kirkpatrick, 1420 College ave-
nue., Dillard Smith, of Southport, and a
number of women and men whose names
could not be learned were among those at
tackled by the vicious brute. Frank Hay,
formerly justice of the peace. of 1901 Cor
nell avenue. was attacked by the mad dog
and after fierce struggle succeeded in
tearing himself from the teeth which were
swapping wickedly at him. He chased the
dog down the street for about block with
a hatchet, but was unable to overtake him.
Bicyclemen Duncan and Hull were sent
out to Kill the dog and after searching some
time succeeded in locating him. Bicycle
man Duncan shot several times at the beast
and killed him instantly 1t is not thought
that any of the persons bit will be seri-
iously injured with the exception of lit
tie Walker Bray, and his case may become
critical. The dog the property of

Board of Agriculture Questions
Advisability of Holding Exhibi-
ton Worlds Fair Year.
MERCHANTS SUPPORT

Feeling that the question of holding
state fair should not be decided until the
city has expressed its sentiment, the State
Board of Agriculture yesterday postponed
the settlement of the question until its next
quarterly meeting. which will be held on
Feb g. Collectively the board is not in
favor Of holding the fair this year, believing
that it will be a losing investment on ac-
count of the worlds fair. However, there
are certain members who think that if a
fair this year will be given the support of
the business and manufacturing men of In
dianapolis it could be held without mater
ial loss. 1t was suggested that if on two
days the business men would close their
stores and business houses several thou
sand dollars would be added to the receipts
of the fair.
AT the meeting in February the matter
will be once and for all disposed. If the
business men of the city do not respond to
the opportunity the board has given them
to make known their position in regard to
the question, the fair will be abandoned this
year. A letter was received by the board
yesterday from the Hotel and Restaurant
Keepers Association protesting against the
abandonment of the fair 1t stated that
committee will call upon the board soon
to discuss the situation. The following
resolution was presented to the board by
j. Il. Mcdonald, of Ligonier, and was
unanimously adopted: Whereas, There is
a strong sentiment on the part of this board
in not holding fair in 1904. and whereas
there are many difficulties in the way of
making it successful meeting on account
OF the worlds fair at St. Louis, which Will
cut down attendance and patronage, and
whereas the board believes that it cannot
meet these difficulties, be it resolved that
IL Is the sense of this board that no State
fair shall be held in Indianapolis in 1904 un-
less substantial assistance be vouchsafed
by the mercantile and business men of the
city,
The annual convention of the Indiana
State Board of Agriculture adjourned yes
terday evening after officers for the en-
suing year had been elected as follows:
President, John c. Haines, OF Rockport;
vice president David Wallace, Cf Indian
apolis; secretary, Charles E. Downing, of
Greenfield; treasurer, ]. w. LIE Grange, of
Franklin The following new members of
the board were elected John G. Haines, of
Rockport; Mason j. Niblack, of Vincennes;
e. S. Tuell of Corydon; John Tilson, Of
Franklin; David Wallace, c. b. Benjamin.
of Leroy, and James e. Mcdonald, of Ligo-
nier. Most of the closing sessions yester-
day were devoted to the discussion of the
advisability of holding the fair this year
and the transaction of routine business
