SOME NEWSPAPER HISTORY.

AS another newspaper has gone
on the rocks in Lyon county it
may not be amiss to publish lit
tie history in relation to the sever
al periodicals that have inflicted
the people of the county in the
past twenty year. In the first
place it must be understood that
of the four papers launched in the
county in the time mentioned only
one started as a legitimate busi-
ness enterprise, the other three be-
ing put into commission to revo-
lutionize the politics of the coun-
ty and drive the TIMES out of the
field. All of the ventures failed
in their mission.
In 1886 Senator Westerhelb got
an idea into his head that he must
have a newspaper in Dayton to
advance the interests of Jimmy
Fair for the United States Senate.
Because he could not buy the
TIMES at his own figure he stated
the News-Reporter. He hired a
vigorous writer, and when the
campaign was over it was found
that not Democrat had been
elected in the county, from AS
semblyman to Constable, and Fair
was never mentioned as candidate.
After using up $1,000 OF Fairs
money i'll the venture the News
Reporter suspended publication.
We never heard anyone say it did
the county any good.
Two or three years after this d..
L. Sayer started the Mason Val
ley Tidings in Yerington. A trial
of one year satisfied him that two
papers could not live in the coun-
ty and he pulled out. His was a
legitimate business venture but he
was little ahead of time.
About year after this c. w.
Patterson blossomed out as a news
paper man with the Yerington
Rustler. The vicissitudes of his
career were numerous and devi-
ating, but then the enterprise did
not pay. The plant finally fell
into the hands of a company that
had no interest in publishing the
paper after the TIMES moved to
Yerington.

The Chattanooga Advertising.

The Chattanooga Medicine Co.,
with laboratories and general Of
fees at Chattanooga, Tennesse,
and branch houses at St. Louis,
Mo-, and San Francisco, Cal, has
become one of the largest propri-
etary medicine concerns in the
world. In the growth of this
great business two factors have
been dominant: The merit of it's
products-Wine of Cardui and
Thedford's Black-Draught - has
been widely recognized and the
original advertising methods adopt
ed have excited great comment.
The publicity for these medicines
does not consist of the catch phras-
es and extravagant statements too
often employed in advertising to-
day, but instead the plain story of
experience with the medicines
given in the plain language of the
people themselves. The following
letter is a fair sample of thous-
ands of Wine of Cardui testimo-
malls published during the past
twenty years:
2o68 Eastern Avenue,
CINCINNATI, o., May 20, 1902.
| consider Wine of Cardui a
most excellent woman's remedy.
1t is certainly a specific as tonic
and regulator. For eight years l
suffered with female trouble. l
had intense pain in the back and
head, leaving me so weak that l
was unable to stand at times. Med
icine did not seem to help me, but
after all remedies had failed me
Wine of Cardui proved my one
great, true friend. What relief
| experienced! 1t came only a
few days after 1 started taking it.
| used it faithfully for four months
and gradually grew stronger and
better. l am now regular to the
day, and for the past two years
have enjoyed blessed good health.
l certainly wish every sick and
suffering woman could know OF
your blessed medicine, how much
pain and suffering it would pre-
vent, and what a difference it
would make in thousands OF
homes where there is sickness and
sorrow today, if they had Wine OF
Cardui it would bring relief and
Joy instead.

Caldwell & Wards Grain Letter.

BY Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington
Chicago, March 19-The weather map
showed little precipitation over the winter
wheat area, and none at all in the south
west. Receipts at Kansas City and St
Louis are small and less than half the
shipments. The late strength was on re.
ported sales of No. 2 red winter wheat at
115c over May which started local buying
Liverpool closed ss61zc lower. Under pres
emit pit conditions we favor the long side
of wheat
Corn-Was a very choppy market, being
strong and weak by quick turns. There
was nothing specially bullish in the news,
although cables expressed some anxiety
for the Argentine crop in the event of con-
tinued unfavorable weather The cash
situation Is unchanged and bearish. We
think corn should be sold on bulges.
Provisons-There was continued liqui-
dalton on stop loss orders through com
mission houses, but the covering of shorts
was general, especially In lard and this
buying closed prices firm, with some adj
vance in all products. The hog market
was easier although receipts of 1900 were
5000 under the estimate. Estimated re-
ceipts Monday 3S, 600

SULLY MAKES STATEMENT

New York, March 19.-At the opening
of the cotton exchange today the sus-
pension of J. II. Garrison & Co. was an
nounced, but this suspension, is compar-
atively unimportant, the companys out
standing trade not being affected. A
statement from Daniel ]. Sully was read
in which he said that he hoped his en-
barrassment only temporarily injured
him, and he hoped to resume in the near
future The market opened irregular and
firm, points lower to "a points higher.
March sold at 1910, May at 13.60a13. s5;
July at Is 60q1s.70 and August at 5000
1872.
Toward the close there was evidently a
feeling of greater confidence and it
seemed as though a concerted effort was
being made to bid the market up to
make the settling figures as favorable
to the Sully people as possible. May sold
at 1887 and July at 14,06. with the mar
ket closing very steady at a net advance
of from 40 to 20 points on the more ac-
tive months, while the new crop was 3
to 10 points net higher.
Sales were estimated at $4,000 bales.
Leading Philadelphia spot interests were
heavy buyers on the advance and pr-
vate advices from the south stated that
spot offerings were being withdrawn. Re
ceipts at the ports today, 75l7 bales,
against 1890 bales last week and 49, 92S
last year. For the week, 1900 bales,
against 64.645 last week. and $3.50 last
year Today's receipts at New Orleans
were 215s bales, against 6442 last year,
and at Houston, 1899 bales. against 3Si9
last year.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The panic in the cotton market of New
York caused little excitement in Blr-
mingham. although spot dropped consld-
erably yesterday. 1t is believed that any
local firms were Interested in the dealings
of Daniel J. Sully & Co. at the time of the
crash. The only firm dealing with the
company drew out some time before the
failure was announced.
There was nothing doing in stocks and
bonds yesterday The market closed quiet
and steady, with no change in the prices
reported.
Dry salt bellies, ribs and extras are Off

the same state of affairs applies to both
grades of lard.
Along, Morris avenue fruits continue ac-
tive. Oranges have gone up and are not
quite so plentiful as heretofore. Lemons
are selling for 50 and SO % per crate. APP

New York Cotton Futures.
The New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, March 19.-Spot cotton
was in good inquiry from Bremen, Havre
and Liverpool, but factors as rule did
not uncover their samples, and only
hedged cotton was offered for sale. Com
pared with the board figures of the nth,
the cotton exchange committee reduced
quotations q of cent per pound on all
grades.
While the future market was nervous
this morning, 1t developed some steadiness,
and in spite of violent fluctuations prices
showed a decided upward tendency during
the greater part of the short Saturday
session. So far as the failure of Suliy was
concerned, there were no developments
locally 1t was tn general idea that the
firm would pay dollar for dollar and that
it would shortly resume business. The
market opened steady and from points
lower to 20 points higher. Liverpool cables
were unexpectedly favorable and did not
half meet the expectations of bears This
bore out the statements contained In pri-
vate cables to the effct that Sullys en-
gagements in Liverpool were light, and
that an optimistic tone was held in that
market. Locally. from the opening prices
made a fairly strong advance and little
nervousness was displayed. This caused
prompt easing off of values until May was
well below the close of yesterday. From
then to the close of the market the fiuct-
uallOnS were Wlue anu IIeqhtHlf diWdN
going a few points higher at each recov-
cry In the trading May first advanced 81
points to $780, declined to IS, and finally
recovered to 14.01, and July advanced 40
points to 1419, declined to 10 so and finally
advanced to 1443. The market closed

Told of Mark Twain.

From the New York Tribune.
Mark Twain and w d. Howells were
one day lunching In cafe In New York.
Two overdressed young men entered,
and the first said in a loud voice;
waiter, bring me some bisque of lob
ster, bottle of white wine and a chop.
Just mention my name to the cook. too,
so that everything will be done to my
liking"
The second young man said:
Bring me some sole with peas, and tell
the cook who it's for
Mr.. Twain gave his order a moment
later. He said, with a wink at his COM
panion:
Bring me a half dozen oysters, and
mention my name to each of them"

imum proportions, a fresh buying wave
came in occasioning an advance Of 10 to
70 points from the bottom. Near the close
values reeeded slightly making the net
gain IS 10 GA points on old crop months,
and IS to % on the new. The total Yisi-
Bile supply of all kinds decreased l22'VO0
during the week, against decrease OF
101, 600 last year. The visible supply Oh
American during the same time decreas-
ed 50. 600. against a decrease of 5000 last
year. The total visible supply of all
kinds Is now 3.2s1000, against 100000 last
year and 4,261,0Q year before last, OF
which the American is 22iS,0O against
2,479,0O0 last year and S,l43.000 year before
last The total Liverpool stock of Amer
lean ashore and ahoat is $4,000, against
$4,000 last year. The spinners taltngs Oh
American cotton during the week were
POS 900. against 2s400 last year, and their
total takings from September / 10 date,
have been 1898 600. against $4,000 last
year, or 27s 900 less, indicating consump-
ton of 10,5S0,O00 for the season on the
face of the talxings. The movement on
It's face points to a crop of 10.4I9.WO;
therefore, It will be seen that If spinners
continue to be free takers of cotton from
now out, as they have heretofore, 1t Will
be necessary to draw on the 1l92,oO OF
American carried over in the visible and
invisible on the LIST OF last Seplehpei'
Many operators forget that this surplus
was carried over last year, and believe
that this present crop is only to be con-
sidered. Statistics, nevertheless, are very
strong and the question arises, what
price discounts them? If American oper-
ators would allow spinners to buy spots
freely and export it to Great Britain and
the continent, then the situation would
be healthy and values could be maintain
ed legitimately. The trouble is deliveries
are forced too high, and get out of line,
which prevents exporters entering the
market. 1t is to be hoped though that
good spot demand will spring up, on
basis, and that the market will have more
stability. Sentiment is again optimistic
and with encouraging news from Liver
pool the chances are prices will advance
further.

cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

BY c. w. Lee & Co.
New York, March 19-Nothing that has
ever happened In the cotton market was
more of a surprise than the enacture of
yesterday. IT was a bolt out of clear
sky as far as the exchanges were con-
cerned and we very much doubt whether
there is any satisfactory explanation of
the failure. A break of a cent and half
should not result in failure when the
former decline of five cents did not cause
a single suspension. 1t must be the firm
has never extended its operation and lost
money In other directions 1t is stated
the firm had interests in stocks, coffee,
and grain. It Is now a question what Is
to be done. We can not believe that cot
ton is not worth what 1t Is selling for to-
day, because one operator fails there is
no reason the market should go to pieces.
OF course 1t is blow to the speculative
end. There is no prospect of a big rise at
the moment but the best people look for
an Improvement.

New York, March 19.-In view of the
surprising strength Liverpool cabled, New
Yorks opening WAS quite disappointing
and free selling on the opening by many
houses forced the market off temporarily.
A big pile of cotton seemed to come from
some unknown source which was dumped
on the market. The opinion on the floor
seemed to be general that the failed house
should not benefit by high average SELL
ing prices and the market ruled weak
until Sully & Co.'S assignment was an
nounced about II o'clock when buying be-
came free and the market rallied show
ing expected strength and closed around
the high prices of the day The New
Orleans market Is strong and every con-
fidence is expressed In cotton. The bull
leader predicts still higher prices for the
season. Our private advices are that
spots are in big demand from the mills
and inquiry this morning More cotton is
needed than was generally believed. Some
mills who claimed to be supplied tried to
buy Fall River advice suggest that any
further decline in future and spots may
cause decline in the price of the manu-
featured article, which would be a detri-
ment to the spinners who can he count
ed on to support the market around these
prices. The statistical position of cotton
is very strong and we favor its purchase.
On New York's close Liverpool Is due
10 come to 4 points down Monday.
