Wears Husbands Picture.
1t is hard to think that Mrs. Lewis
would commit cold blooded murder
such as the one with which she was
charged. AS she sat talking with a
Courier reporter this morning she pre-.
scented typical picture of the hard.
working, honest, but illiterate class
A button picture of her dead husband
is worn on the lapel of her jacket and
this tribute to the father of her chill
dren has never been absent throughout
all the prosecution she has undergone.
Her very frankness in all matters con-
nected with the death of her husband
and her connections with the man, Ira
G.asstord, who was alleged to have
been the cause of her losing her affec-
ton for her, husband, tend to make
the observer believe her guiltless of
the awful crime with which she was
charged.
Husband Laughed At Gossip.
When she was asked as to her rela
tions with Glassford and the pictures
she had taken in this city in company
with him, Mrs Lewis said that she
could hardly understand why so much
was made of this "Why, Will, my hus.
band was with me that day and he and
Glassford and I went to the photo
graph gallery together. Will was 60
ing upstairs with us when we got the
pictures taken but he met a man who
worked at the packing house just as
we got to the bottom of the stairs and
he stopped and talked while Glassford

The Picture Episode.
Eyes. they talked about us in that
neighborhood, Glassford and I, and
Will just laughed at them. After we
had that picture taken we had some
sent home and put one in the album
on the center table. Will was there
when put 1t in the album and he said
we had better send one of the pictures
to some of the neighbors so they could
have something to talk about. That
picture staid in the album from that
time until after was arrested here in
Ottumwa and Will and the children
knew all about it.

GROWTH OF INDUSTRIES
IN THE SOUTH.
Adding Millions to Its wealth Every
Year,

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 25.-The value
of the past seasons cotton crop, about
s65O0O0,0OO as compared with the value,
1925, O00, 600 of the crop of the season
of 1859, added to the large grain
crop in the South, has placed the
South in better financial shape than
ever before 1t now has agricultural
prosperity in connection with flourish
ing industrial interests. This is re-
1ected in a mass of letters from
Southern bankers published in this
weeks issue of the Manufacturers
Record in reply to inquiries made of
them for their views. The responses
were prompt and gratifying.
There is agreement of opinion that
finances are upon a most healthy and
substantial basis. Increased banking
capital is recorded, larger deposits than
ever before are shown in national. state
and savings banks, and, at the same
time, much local money is going into
new industrial enterprises or into the
enlargement of existing ones. Many
municipalities have been infused with
the spirit of progressiveness able to
find expression in the general financial
prosperity and on many sides are def
mite plans for the betterment of city
properties and the Improvement of
streets, schools and roadways.
The general situation seems to be
well summed up in a letter from a
banker of the Middle South, who
writes:
Municipal improvements in the way
of electric lights, waterworks and
schools are increasing in all directions,
and planters and others who were will
ing a few years ago to live in houses
without any comforts, now require all
modern conveniences, such as water,
gas, electric lights, musical instru-
ments, and in fact, everything that
money and culture will demand. This
applies to people in all walks of life,
of course; however. it is in proportion
to their means that these comforts
are INDUCED in. Comparing the price
of cotton in 1S9S-S20 to $25 per bale
with the average price received by the
planter this year-not less than $65 per
bale on an average-cotton seed bring
ing 81 to Sc per ton more than it did
year ago, / think you can set it
down that the South will realize for
her cotton crop and by-products, not
counting the large number of bales
manufactured into cloth and yarns, at
least $700. 900 600 1t is not only cotton
that we realize upon now. but every
manufacturing interest that can be
thought of is at present in the South
and the number is being increased al
most daily, giving employment to all
kinds of labor. Many of these indus
tries are carried on by families. The
South has been very free from strikes
and this fact commends it to those
seeking new homes"

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Feb. 25.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 4dl3 points Oh the old, to a decline
of points on the new crop months
and ruled very irregular The initial
gains We're due to covering on the ca
bles which were better than expected,
and the small receipts estimated for
the dax. but there was little support
from bullish sources, and shortly after
the opening prices sagged of 10 10 10
points on liquidation, and some selling
believed to be for short account.
Liverpool continued firm, however
and New Orleans, which at first had
shown relative weakness, firmed up
sending very bullish kilograms to the
local market. 1t was March notice
day there, and yesterday some appre-
tensions were expressed as to the at
titude of the long interest.
This morning, however, leading
Southern bulls were reported to be bid
ding for large blocks of March cotton.
Here large Philadelphia spot interests
We're active BUYERS of May and July.
New Orleans, too, sent buying orders
after the first ten or fifteen minutes.
while houses with Liverpool connec-
tions were also operating on long &C
count. This rallied the market in
spite of continued opposition from the
former local bull leader. who was re-
ported to be selling openly, and prices
advanced to a net gain of 26d30 points
OF the more active months with May
reaching 142Sc and July 14.23c, while
March ruled dull and neglected
around 13.S5c.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow
were very light. helping in the adj
vance, but reports reaching here from
the South indicate rather less press
ing demand for spot cotton at the re-
cent advances, and the continued oD
position of leadinS interests here I'M
settled the room who shortly before
midday started a selling movement
that carried prices down to last
nights level.
Again there was a rally as offerings
fell off somewhat. but once more the
market was depressed by the agrees
sive offerings of the local bull leader.
and in the middle of the
afternoon prices were forced down
to the lowest point Of the
session. with March selling at
13.4Oc: May at 13.75c and July at 13.S0c,
representing a net decline of 1lQ27
points and a reaction from the best of
about 50 points on the May position.
Toward the close room covering and
a renewal of demand from spot inter-
ests brought about a slight rally and
the market was finally steady at an
advance of points to a decline of IS
points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
Receipts for the day were light and
the estimates for tomorrow also ran
very small, indicating a more bullish
week end statement than previously
expected, the amount being now placed
at about $4,000 bales. against 1890
last wear. Exports for the day were
very light, however. and total exports
for the season are now only 4,S97.2 90
bales. against 5.0s4,943 last year.
