mined to remove the depot from its

work on the new station building
will commence in the near future.
This will be a great convenience to
the public generally and tits to be
hoped that the change of location
will soon be effected.
Charlie McClary, a thrifty anc
we'll. Jo-do colored farmer at Benson
postoffice, had his dwelling burned
last Saturday. The origin of the
fire is not definitely known but it is
supposed to have been caused by rats
striking ma tches. The house was
probably worth $500 and the owner,
We learn, carried several hundred
dollars insurance.
Il now costs lis to issue The
RECORD more than double what it
did two years ago. Printing mate
rial, printers wages, rent, labor and
everything else on the expense list
has gone up from rs to 10Oper cent.
The price of subscription is all that
has not gone up. That remains the
same, one dollar. Now don't you
think you really ought % pay it?
A number of newspapers in the
State are raising the price of SUBJ
scription from S1.00 10 $1:5o ayear,
the cost of living and the expense of
publishing a paper having increased
at least so per cent. We have found
it imprac.icable in the present con-
ditions to more than clear expenses
and the price of this paper will prob
ably be advanced to $3.50 year in
the near future. Now is the time to
pay up and get year ahead before
the price is raised.
Mr. aud Mrs Vibert W Graham of
Benson, who have been spending the

Monday. While ea-route they had
thrilling adventure at Saluda, N.
c., when coming down the noun
tain SIDE the brake on the engine
failed to work and the locomotive
ran wild. By means of a safety
switch the train was saved, but the
engine went over a so foot enbsnk-
ment and was wrecked. The en-
gineer and fireman saved themselves
by jumping and thanks to the safety
switch none of the passengers was
hurt.
The cotton fields ia many sections
have been ravaged by the 'army"

The worms have even attacked the

The annual reunion of Co. G, 18th
S. G. ", took place Tuesday at In
diantown church. We have not been
furnished with a report of the meet
ing, but have no doubt that it was in
keeping with former similar occas-
ions when the camp-iires were re-
lighted and the "boys of '61" lived
over in memory the scenes and in
cidents of bivouac and battlefield.
Out of 1900 subscribers on our
list nearly one-balf that number
owes us one dollar or more OH sub

subscriptions in the near future We
,eannot continue publishing the paper.
As, We do not care to shut up shop
yet awhile We make this appeal,
which. after ii reasonable time has
elapsed without a response, will be

Johnnie Christie
In The Tolls

Johnnie Christie, son of John
Christie of this place, is under
arrest here charged with being
implicated in the noted robbery
Of the N. P. express at Bears
mouth, Montana, June Is, last.
The arrest was made by Sheriff
Pepper at Casselton yesterday
morning at the G.. N. depot as
Christie was boarding the train
to come to Hope with his wife
and child, who went to st. Paul
with him from here about two
weeks ago.
He was brought here by Sher-
iff Pepper on yesterdays train
and a message sent notifying the
authorities of his arrest. Word
was received that they would
come at once, and Detectives
Ball and Newton arrived today
and will take him with them to-
night.
The robbery occurred near
Bearsmouth the night of June
18th. The train stopped for
water at the tank, a few rods
from the depot, and the engine
was boarded by two men who
compelled them at the points of
revolvers to run the train ahead
several miles. The train was
then stopped and the door of the
express car blown open and the
messenger made to leave the car.
The safe was then blown and the
contents, consisting of checks,
about four hundred small dia-
monds and several thousand dol
lars in currency and gold taken.
The robbers then made their es-
cape into the mountains and for
a long time eluded their pursuers
Hammond was arrested at
Spokane and confessed to being
one of the robbers and in his
confession implicated Christie as
being the other. Since that time
the detectives have been hot on
his trail and were only six hours
behind him when he was here
two week ago. From here he
went to st. Paul where he has
been with his wife and child until
Tuesday evening when he started
to return here arriving in Cassel-
ton yesterday morning only to
fall into the net of Sheriff Pepper
who was returning from James
town and happened to be coming
up on the same train.
Christie is a young man well
known here, having lived here
nearly all his life. He was never
thought of as a desperado, though
somewhat wild as great many
young men. He had been work
ing in the mines in British Co.
lumbia during the past winter,
and it is thought that he fell in
with some tough characters who
are responsible for his being
mixed up in the deal. His father
is well to do and highly respect

ROYALTY
WELCOMED

J. A. and Mrs. Pepper and A. L.
and Mrs. johnson returned Fri
day from their wedding tripwhich
included a weeks stay at Lake
Koronis near New Paynesville,
Mimi. Their coming had been
reported from Casselton and the
other towns down the line by
wire and phone and the train was
met by almost the entire town,
who turned out en- masse to bid
them welcome home. The band
(?) boys, resplendent in their
new blue uniforms were out and
discoursed sweet music to the
waiting crowd. Engineer Mar
tin announced the approach of
the train by a dozen or more
shrill blasts of the whistle which
was followed by a deafening
cheer from the crowd. At the
crossing below the depot a num-
Der of friends, with old shoes,
bags Of rice, etc. boarded the
train, which stopped for that
purpose. When the train stop
ped at the depot the happy
young men and their blushing
brides were greeted by their
host of friends with congratula-
tions and best wishes liberally
interspersed with showers of
rice. They were escorted to a
waiting carriage and drawn down
the street, by a dozen or more
willing hands preceded by the
band playing Il love her so" and
other appropriate music. They
were drawn as far as the Gold
Medal Pharmacy where the boys
distributed the best cigars OBJ
tainable to those who smoked and
soda water and ice cream to
those who did not.
In the evening a reception was
given at the K. P. hall by the
local lodge K. Of P. in honor of
the newly married couples and
also Chancellor G Commander Fead
and wife, who had returned the
week before. A very interesting
program was rendered followed
by a half hour of social inter
course after which all repaired
to the Masonic lodge room where
a sumptuous lunch was served.
All voted the evening a hugh
success and departed with many
expressions of good will and
wishes for success and pros
perity of the happy young people.

were light the feeling was quite con-
fident, not only here, but abroad.
The week opened with indications of
a moderate movement everywhere. The
more peaceful political situation en-
cOuraged buyers and made shorts nerv-
Gus, and there is little doubt that the
market would be considerably better
with this question out of the way.
The short interest is believed to be
very large, and much of it created in
the past week, when bears made des-
perate efforts to produce a feeling an
tagonistiC to cotton on the report that
the movement will again be free,
neither of which have any basis what
ever.
Early prices were IS points higher,
with a fair degree of activity. Few
cared to sell, while many were prepar-
ed to buy as soon as the Eastern ques-
ton was out of the way. The port

Think That Present Situation Looks
Like Another WhirI.
New York, Jan. 1S.-It looked to-day
as though enough cotton had been
sold by general holders to leave the
market in shape to respond to any
new buying. That is. May and July
worked close to the high level, and
held very firm. New Orleans went to
the high price of the season. Liver
pool sold higher than before this sea-
son. and things looked very strong.
The situation has many elements of
uncertainty about it, and there was
lot of cotton for sale on every ad-
vance. This cotton has been pretty
well absorbed now, and in the event
of light receipts for some time to
come there is every prospect of high
er prices. StiH we can not but believe
in taking profits on every advance
over IA cents, as long as the price
does not work into new ground.
We are at very critical point cot
ton is being distributed from all di-
rections, and there are evidences of
furry of inducements to buy cotton.
If the. prices start up now, and the
market gets active, one can buy with
very little risk as a lot of cotton has
been sold and when the advance be-
gins 1t will go far. There was more
activity to-day and this is a good
sign. During the afternoon there was
a better trade and prices moved about
more easily. If all the cotton for sale
between ID cents and 14.25c is taken
care of. Is cents can be reached very
easily. Liverpool is very STEADY and
the situation begins to look like an

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Jan. 18.--The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 8
to II points on covering, moderate buu
support and some buying for outside
long account that was promoted by
the prospect for light receipts for the
day firm cables, a more peaceful
view of the Far Eastern situation and
further reports of d good spot demand
in the South. Business, however, was
not particularly active.
Shortly after the opening there were
indications of liquidation, and when
the Houston estimate was received
showing rather a heavier movement,
prices sagged back several points, but
there seemed to be little pressure
against the market and shortly before
the midday the undertone became very
firm. Business did not pick up much,
but the expectation of large exports
for the day and further price advance
rejecting firmneSs in southern spot
centers and restricted offerings and
with the room element who had gone
short on the opening bulge attempting
TO cover, prices We're worked rapidly
upward, with July reaching new
hi Oh record fort season. March at
the best reached, IA .00c May, 4.20c,
and July Csc, the previous high
price on July having been, IA. &c The
advance was chiefly in sympathy with
the firmness- at New Orleans. Shorts,
too, appeared to be anxious to cover,
but the advances were perhaps more
the result of light offerings than of
any decided volume of buying. The
market closed steady within point
or two of the best, and net % to 26
points higher. Sales estimated at
500 600 bales

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

islands practically in the same position
they occupied at the close of the last
week market
The demand is active for all grades
Of Floridas and Georgias at an ad-
vance Of fully &c. and the offerings
are as rule poor in quality and linn
tied in quantity. In Carolinas the sup
ply is nearly, exhausted, and the offer
ings OF desirable cottons are very
small
Factors state that recent receipts are
composed Of crop lots previously sold
and In large part OF cottons very much
pn In quality.
