"PoWHATAN'' REPEATED.
Appreciative Matinee Audience
 Heard the Onera.

0CuAO tAc OpcTd'
 A most appreciative audience witnessed the second production of the opera Fowl an at the matinee performance yesterday afternoon at the Montgomery theater.
 In some respects the matinee perform ance was better than that of the. even- ing before, and in every respect it was equally as good. The wealth of color and the riotous beauty of the tableaux have seldom been eXcelled on the Montgomery stage.
 The rich, sweet voice of Miss Weems. the Pocahontas of the cast, added to the entertainment.
 One of the catchy numbers was the trio. 'The Squirrel and the Frog" sung by Miss May Chaffee, who impersonated Laughing Star" the beautiful daughter of Powhatan.
 Miss Chaffee's rich mezzo and her con ception and execution of the part will place her among Montgomery's talented singers.
 Another feature that was specially pleasing was the song, Just Look in the Book and See," by Captain John Smith, (Mr. Albert Baker), in which he was ac- companied by four Indian maids, Misses Sallie Grace Beale, Mary Graham Marion Winter and Mary Robinson.
 The opera, "Powhatan" as produced by Montgomery talent, has elicited much fa- forable comment.
 The opera was produced for cause that Is deserving-the Montgomery In- firmary-and a neat sum has been real ized for the institution.
 Much credit is due the ladies who have had the task of training the company and who have labored so faithfully and so successfully.
 Mrs Julia Jones McGuire. as piano aceompanist, Is deserving of special com mendation for her part of the work. as the music was the specially" all the way through.

BEARS HAD A VICTORY
COTTON MARKET
 WENT OFF A CENT.
From 16 1-2 on Monday It Slumped Yesterday to 15 1-2, and Few Buyers at That
 Price.

After a steady upward climb of several weeks duration, the Montgomery coltoh market slumped yesterday and yesteroay aftarnoon there were few buyers at 10 l-2 cents. t.
 Yesterday was a red letter day in Mont gomery speculation. The spot market on Monday had gone as high as l6 1-2 cents and the lull spirit, which had so pervaded the market for months seemed certain to carry it higher
 May futures on the New York Exchange opened at 17.32. The group of spectators and cotton men in each of the local ex- changes, sat listlessly in the big arm chairs and settled down to watch the up ward climb, of figures on the blackboards.
 The scene changed rapidly A few un- intelligible sounds licked out from the telegraph instrument. The eyes of the operator flashed. He foresaw that some thing would be doing soon. The marker walked to the board and chalked up a slump of 90 points.
 They went wild" said the manager of a local exchange. "The chairs were abandoned and the speculators crowded right up to the blackboard. Every time a quotation was marked up, the excitement increased. Such a thing as writing out an order was forgotten. They shouted | them and with every slump they shouted | louder. It kept up until the market closed. The close was 16.O5, slump oi 127 points,
 In one of the three Montgomery ex- | changes alone 30,O00 bales of cotton were | bought and sold. It was said that little | money was lost by local spectators Many of them bought cotton at the low | figures.
 prominent cotton man said yesterday afternoon:
 You can't tell exactly what the spot market is. There Is little cotton offered for sale and there are few anxious to buy right now. I suppose about the neares | quotation, however, is 15 1-2 cents.''
 The market closed feverish.

interest of Mr.. Williams is in favor
Of establishing sinking or contin

easy and possible and with the back

LED DUAL LIFE.
Council Bluffs Man Convicted of :
Serious Crime.

Council Bluffs, Jan. Boa verdict
of guilty was brought in by the jury
in the w. w. Roller case late last
night. Roller was married and had
a home in Omaha. He became infat
uated with a woman other than his
wife. Roller freqently left his wife
and took this woman to Kansas City
and other places. Later he would re
turn to his household, confess all, be
forgiven, and agree never more tc
see her.
His latest move was to establish a
home in this city, while his real home
was in Omaha. The wife finally tired
of his promises of reform and with
officers raided his place in this city
where they found him and the woman
together.

cotton in the afternoon from buyer

Every farmer who comes to town
complains of the inability to secure a
sufficient number of cotton pickers to
gather the crop. The fields are white
with cotton and employment could be
given three or four times as many
hands as are available. Nevertheless
the cotton is being gathered so rapid

being a fairly good crop in Sumter
