 NEW ORLEANS. April fe.-Considering the unfavorAbie attitude of Liverpool the action of American markets today indicated certain degree of strength that deserved more than passing notice. It is patent that the bear element in New York and else that may be resurrected In their behalf and the atmosphere has been permeated with various runprs calculated to affect prices
 The large spot business transacted here re. gently was said to have resulted from banks calling in loans whom 1t was q known fact that Southern banks prefer cotton with ample margin as collateral and cotton should be far preferable as security than stocks of industrial concerns with which banking institutions of the metropolis may be burdened. Attention was also called to reduction in price on . particular line of dry goods by one New York house which can hardly be accepted as an illustration os conditions in the dry goods markets of the world. For instance, one Liverpool cable today stated that production of mills on the continent was soid up to October. and trade conditions in that quarter were gooi. Against the efforts of bears eAsne reports of declining temperatures tn the Northern belt with accompanying fears of dsstructIoH of early planted cotton. 1t will be recalled that the failure of the present crop was due In large neasure to necessity for repeated replantipg and the possibility of . similar expedient this season is not mentioned with out creating profound impression The Chronicle in it's weekly review ststes that farm work has made excellent progress. which denotes that the opportunity exists for unpropitiops weather to inflict injury Thus predictions of cooler weather sufficed 70 eftaehsh q steady tone regardless of such unfaYorable influences as were brought to notice.

New. York. April Is.-.The cotton market opened steady at decline of IS to l7 points on the old crop while the new crop was, 3 points lower to 10 points fhfkner. The declines were due to hqui- dation by room longs following disap- pointing cables and bearish visible supply statement. while the relative eteadiness of the new crop months waA caused by further reports of cold weather in the Western belt, particularly Texas. The forecast called for still colder wealth or tonight, tough temperatures were thought likely to be higher Sunday.

over the loss of his brother in the
railroad accident yesterday. Ex,

"But old Curmudge had no broth.

vasser.
What has that to do with it %
said the secretary cheerily. "All he
can do is to tell you So"
'But it might unnecessarily alarm
him." persisted the canvasser.
"That's the point; that's exactly
the point" returned the secretary
cheerily. alarm him as much as

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

Although the plans are not yet fully
matared, it is Its..a' led as quite GER
tain that the i cement urd III ai;eE
for the formation of a Young Mems
Christian association in the city will

highly pleased with the encourage
ment they have received and are hope
full of ultimate and complete success.
Among the matters in contempla-
tion is the erection of suitable build
ing in prominent part of town and
it's equipment for gymnasium and
the other departments that make the
society so popular in other cities, such
as reading room, parlors and class
rooms for evening school. Some of the
leaders in the recently organized ath-
letic association believe the club will
be willing to merge with the proposed
body, which, if carried out, will as
sure a large initial membership.
A press committee has been appoint
ed and will keep the public informed
through the columns of The Gazette

ALLEGED ROBBERS ARRAIeNED.
Are Identified by Victim and Another
Witness.

A complaint was filed yesterday in
Justice Mann's court against Frank
Day and Louis Perrolaz charging them
with robbery. The defendants are
the men who are accused OF having
robbed A. r. Reed, better known as
'Dick" Reed, who was held up on
the south side one night during the
early part of the week by couple OF
men. Reed was overpowered and then
tied by the robbers, who utilized a
piece of an old quilt for that purpose.
Not satisfied with merely searching
his pockets, the hlghwaymen took of
his shoes and made off with them.
Reed has positively identified one
OF the men, while a witness who hap
pened along at the time is positive
in his Identification of The other. Be
ing without means and desiring coun-
sci, the court appointed II. A. Firth for
the defense.
The men had their preliminary hear
ing this morning and were committed
to await the action of the district
court.

Bicknell is young man and was
cleanly and respectfully dressed and
gave every appearance of being pos

gence. The clothes he wore were
almost new and of fair quality. 1t
was necessary to cut the coat in two
to remove it after the doctor was
called, while the vest was so saturat-
ed with blood as to be unserviceable.
The wound he sustained is in the
left shoulder, the bullet which caused

near the top and penetrated the body,
lodging under the skin in front, where
it was removed. The upper lobe of
the lung is pierced, but the attending
physician expressed it as his opinion
yesterday that the man was in no
danger.

AND FAIRBANKS THE
UNANIMOUS NOMINEES.
SCENE AN INSPIRING One.
Nomination Of Republican, Leaders Is
Followed by Demonstration
Rarely Ever EquaIed.

Chicago, June 23.-The swift, sure
current of public opinion, for the Sec
ond time in public history of republi-
can conventions, today resulted in the
selection of national ticket without
a dissenting vote. Theodore Roosevelt
for president and Charles w. Fair
banks for vice president, received ev-
cry vote in the convention.
No fewer than 10000 men and wo-
men participated in the ratification
Of the programme, and the consequent
roar Of cheering and handclapping
was deafening. The band, stationed
high among the girders of the hall,
was drowned by the demonstration.
Hats were tossed into the air, state
emblems were waved, and beautiful
tri-colored shimmering silken flags
futtered from every hand as though
stirred by gale.
When Ex-Governor Black of New
YORK made his speech nominating
President Roosevelt to succeed him
self, for IS minutes the great throng
told it's appreciation of the conven-
tion's choice for president.
The name of Roosevelt came from
every throat. The New York dele
gates paraded the hall shouting at the
tops of their voices. A small colored
boy from Georgia, and later pretty
girl in white frock were lifted to
the platform and they waved flags
with as much vigor as their more
lusty preceptors.
When Senator Fairbanks had been
nominated for vice president, there
was no diminution of the demonstra-
ton. Voices were hoarse, but the
noise for the choice was just as unan-
imous as it was in filling the first place
on the ticket.

SMALLPOX NEAR LAUREL.
Discovered by Doctor Called to Attend

What was supposed to be a case Of

be one of smallpox. The patient is
Robert Fly, stepson of David A.

called to attend the sick youth and
was told he was suffering from pneu-

he found him to be suffering from
smallpox instead and after prescrib-

ported the matter to the county
health authorities, who ordered the
entire family, 10 in number, under
quarantine.
The young man has been employed
in one of the camps on the irriga'

ALLEGED SAFE BLOWERS.

Suspects.
Sheriff Eddy of jamestown, N D.,
has wired SheriI Hubbard that he is
holding couple of men whom he
thinks are the ones that recently rob-
bed the safes of the Billings brewery
and the steam laundry. They were ar
rested last Tuesday while trying to
dispose of watch, diamond studded
Eagle badge and a ring with a setting.
The watch is described as being gold,
with the initials G. A. S. engraved on
the case.
Originally there were three men,
but before the sheriff learned of their
presence one had disappeared. The
watch and ring are in the sheriff's
possession. while the initials differ,
| it is believed the watch belongs to
Mr.: Scott of the laundry. The one
taken from him was inscribed C. A. f.,
and it is thought that the difference
in the last letter was caused by an
error in transmission
1t is regarded as certain that one
of the prisoners is the man West, who
was released from jail here and sub
sequently wrote to Ed Buckley, the
supposed diamond thief, from Glen
dive informing him he was going east
and directing that he write to him at
Jamestown. The man gave another
name to the Dakota sheriff, but he has
been identified by the postmaster as
the man who, under the name of West,
called for mail.
The men refused to return without
a requisition and a request has been
made on Governor Toole for the nec-
essary demand upon the North Da-
kota governor tor them. Sheriff HUB
bard expects to leave tomorrow for
jamestown.
