DISSATISFIED WITH AMOUNT
Heirs of Louis EtzeI Say Tint xn-
demnity Paid BY China Is
Not Enough.

Washington, July 23.-Heirs of Louis
Etzel, killed by Chinese soldiers near
New Chwang, are dissatisfied with the
amount of indemnity ($25,000 Mexi-
cam paid by the Chinese government
On account of the affair, and have
complained to the state department.
The department has replied that in
view of the facts in the case, the I'M
premeditated character of the killing
and the general practice of the Amer
lean and other governments in fixing
indemnit<es on account of death, par
ticularly in allowing for foreigners
killed in this country, the indemnity
in this case is regarded as sufficient.
The promptness of the Chinese gov
eminent in settling the case without
any pressure is officially commended

GETTING A PUFF OF FAME.
At Times It Is Face and Then Again
Name That Brings
the Puff.

Justice Brewer is from Kansas, and his
state is justiiably proud OF him, says the
Kansas City journal. Soon after his ele-
walton to the supreme bench a cigar manu-
facturer in Topeka dedicated ten-cent
domestic" cigar to the .jurist, named i
"Our Justice" and on the cover OF each
box pasted portrait OF Mr.. Brewer.
A few years ago the justice was in To-
peka on business trip. The hotel clerk
recognized him, and the negro bell boy, al
though he had no idea who the newcomer
was, knew from the way he was ordered
about that the patron was of some conse-
quence. Going up in the elevator the. negro
stared constantly at the tall, dignified man;
Suddenly the black face was wreathed
ia smiles, and the boy said:
"'Scuse me, boss, but amt you de gem
men dat invented dem Ouah Jestice' CT

This reminds one of the man who was
recalling famous persons who parted their
names in the middle"

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 25-(Special)-
That Rheumatism can be cured has been
proved beyond doubt by Mrs. Betsey
A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs.
Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad
all her acquaintance know. They also
know she is now cured Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story
OF her cure as follows:
Il was an invalid for most FIVE years
caused by Infammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The first
year could not do as much as a baby
could do; then | rallied little bit and
then a relapse. Then year ago the govt
set in my hands and feet. l suffered un-
told agony and in August, 1913, when my
husband died l could not ride to the
grave.
Il only took two boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and in two weeks l could wait
on myself and saw my own wood. l dug
my own potatoes and gathered my own
garden last fall. Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in
the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the
Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid
out of the blood.

EVERYTHING WAS READY.
Robson Was Dead Set Against Home
Doctoring, But he Gave
In to It.

Mr.. Hobson sneezed, and Mrs. Hob
son remarked that he must have caught
cold. Mr., Hobson is one Of those men
who hate to have a fuss made over them.
He has been trying to impress that fact
on his wife's mind for 20 years.
What makes you think I've taken
cold?" he demanded, irritably.
You sneezed," replied Mrs. Hob
son.
THAT doesn't signify" He paused.
But 1t does signify 1t is one of
the first signs of a cold. You went out
this morning without thing round your
neck"
81 always do"
"And now you've caught cold"
Mr. Hobson returned to the reading
of his newspaper without replying. In
o few moments Mrs. Hobson said:
Henry"
''Well?"
you've got to do something for that
cold"
Cant sneeze without being accused
of cold? Is there any law against
sneezing, or do have to get permit
from the health Department."
Il don't see anything foolish in taking
a cold in time" Mrs. Hobson said, calm
ly. IF you would let me put your feet
in hot water and mustard, and get you
to bed"
Mr.. Hobson resumed his paper, and
as he did so he felt an annoying tickling
in his nose. He struggled heroically
for nearly half a minute. Then he
sneezed again.
"There!" said Mrs Hobson, in melan-
choly triumph. you've sneezed again!"
1--WE sneezed twice, sand I'm not
ashamed of it," Hobson replied, coldly.
"If l feel like it, I'm going to sneeze
again. I'll"
Three successive and violent sternu-
tations interrupted him.
Now, will you let me heat that wa
ter, Henry?"
No, thank you"
Twill you take some quinine, them"
mo"
Mrs. Hobson sighed.
"Sneezes," Mr.. Hobson explained,
"are commissions caused by an irritation
of sensitive membrane The irritation
may be caused by the introduction of any
small particle of foreign matter, such
as a grain of dust. Snuff has been known
to produce a sneeze; SO has pepper.
You can get up a fairly good imitation
by tickling the nostrils with straw
1t is not, as you imagine, an infallible
indication of cold"
81 suppose said Mrs. Hobson, re-
flectively, that you would object to an
onion poultice, too?"
Hobson rose from his chair and start
ed for the door. With his hand on the
knob he paused to say, with dignity:
I'm going up to my room now I've
got some work to do, so had better
be alone the rest of the evening""
Hobson sneezed twice on the way up
stairs. Then the door Of his den closed
explosively. Fifteen minutes later the
door opened and Hobsons voice called
down the stairs: Martial
What is it, dear?''
"lf you think really ought to take
a hot footbath, suppose it won't do
any particular harm whether I've got
cold or not. Would it be troubling
you too much to heat the water?"
Mrs. Hobson's voice replied, cheer
fully:
''It's all readv now dear Two bnat-
ed it and got some blankets nice and
hot When you're ready I'll bring them

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 15.-Today was anoth-
er day of languid speculation and timld
operation in stocks by small contingent
of professional traders, who were not bold
enough to follow prices to any distance
from last nights level. The most cohSplc-
nous movement of the day was that IN
Erie and the steady accumulation OF that
stock made some impression on the gen
ers,l list, resulting in rally from the
early decline. The buying OF EVE was
uneypIained but the existence of dividend
holdings in the stock by the same inter
ests as those arraycd in the contest Tor the
control of Northern Pacific revived some
of the old rumors about the extension vi
the contest to Erie, which were In circu-
Iafion at the time OF the first contest III
the Northwest. The early heavlness cen
tered in the Pennsylvania group and was
due to the announcement OF a $lo,oVo,Voo
note issue by the Baltimore and ONO.
The weeks currency movement lndlcates
another extraordinary accumulation OF
cash at this center. Sterling exchange
continued very firm, and it IS considered
probable that further gold will be export
ed at available opportunities. The exports
of grain for the week show "a falling OIL

New Orleans, La, April 15.-The spot

The future market, despite the advance

ell out of shape by the bears and through
out the first half of the, session the fig
ures were generally below yesterday s

points lower to points higher, hut by
vigorous pounding and the lack of sup
porting orders the bears soon caused a
break of 20 points i'll May and July, no
attention apparently being paid to the
bullish movement and into-sight figures,
which show a loss of about $4,000 bales

happened. About 2 o'clock yesterday the
July option was selling around 14c and
within an hour was selling at 1899 In
other words the market recovered half a
cent before a man had chance to turn
around. In addition to this there is now
an extensive short interest outstanding
and the short sellers may find difficulty in
getting this cotton back. From anything
that has happened this week no conclus-
ions as to the ultimate tendency of this
market can be drawn. We have insisted
that the cotton famine facing us Is likely
to disturb calculations OF great many
Also we have pointed out that the usual
spring feeling in the market at this season
generally makes for decline for the time
Icing But there is anything but bear
ish news in the cotton situation just now
Two years ago, it will be remembered that
prices were somewhat over Sc. When the
same spring feeling began to be felt-at
that time the best feeling in the market
was that it would be financial suicide to
bull cotton in the spring of the year. But
what was the condition at that time.
The visible supply of American cotton
was $3.50 900 bales, and at the present flg-
ures this week were absolutely alarming
being SO S43 bales. This showed a falling
off as compared with last year OF S6,OO3
bales. The total "in sight" movement so
far this season, according to Secretary
King, of the New York Cotton Exchange,
amounts to 9,i32 ,432 bales, as compared
with 9,S77 ,S21 bales during the same per-
iod last season, showing the movement to
be 445, 3S9 bales less than last year. We
have no hesitation in stating that by the
first of June the crop will look like 10000
600 bales. and even by the first OF May
the deficiency will be over 100000 bales.
Supplies are running down 50 rapidly that
cotton will be scarce as hens teeth before
another crop. Even recognizing the inevi-
table reduction in consumption owing to
the high prices and the fact that mills
cannot get cotton to spin, what is there
in such q situation as this to induce short
selling? We would cali attention to the
position of the new crop options. From
now on crop news will be the biggest fac
tor in the market. On any declines, at
least until something is known about the
next crop, we believe in the purchase of
October cotton on good breaks. 1t is a
very difficult market, to read, but the sit
uation is altogether too firm and strong
to entertain bearish views on the future
The market for cotton futures closed

causing it to badly swell. l finally had
it lanced and the sore healed. but it
broke out again and I had have it lanced
the second time. The scalp of his head
on top became scaly and the hair would
shed; we could pull it out in punches.
We thought it was scald head and put a
tar cap on his, but it did no good.
