MARKETS FOR FUTURES
OFFERINGs CHECKED by CONTINUED
PROFIT TAKING.
Futures Opened Weak with Marked De-
cllnes In Response to Cable but
Worked Back to Open
ing Ffgures.

New York, Aug 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened weak at a decline of to q
points In response to lower cables than
expected, better crop weather advices
and larger New York crop receipts.
Sentiment had a very beartsh average
at first and the market showed fair
activity with the South, New Orleans
and wall Street selling. There was
considerable profit taking by shorts on
the decline, but with the early figures
showing larger movement at south
western points. prices continued to
work lower. until they showed a net
loss of about 10 to IL points on the
ferings became lighter and the decline
was checked by continued profit taking
while some of the early sellers were
unsettled by reports OF better trade
demand with advices from Manchester
mentioning a much better business
with China and India. Some little
buying for long account appeared to-
be encouraged by reports of this char
acter and in the afternoon the market
slowly worked back to about or lit
tie over the opening figures. 1t clos
ed steady at a decline of 3 to points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
Private crop accounts were generally
favorable. Houston receipts of 2,2S9
bales for the day were all new crop
and port receipts of a little over 1900
bales, contained over 1,400 bales Of new
crop including two at Mobile and two
ut Savannah. while the Houston esti-
mate for tomorrow called for 2,400 to
e,700 bales, against 1913 last year.

WILL BORE FOR OIL
New Well viii Be Sunk on Whitaker
Farm East of Dallas.

The officers of the Polk County Salt,
Gas and Oil Company held meeting
in the parlors Of the Independence
National Bank last Saturday and de-
cided to bore new we'll on the Ben
Whiteaker farm between Dallas and
Monmouth, near the we'll that was
sunk by H. Hirschberg a few months
ago. A standard drill will be pur-
chased, and work will commence as
soon as the new machinery arrives.
The company will begin the manu-
facture OF salt at once. The Hrsch-
berg we'll flows strong salt water that
has been analyzed aud found to be Of
extra quality. After careful investi-
cation, it is believed that the salt
business will pay handsomely,
whether oil is found or not. The new
company, however, is sanguine of
success in striking oil in paying
quantities, as two or three strong
veins were opened by the Hirschberg
we'll and there is every indication of
tie existence of oil in paying
Quantities. nt
1T was decided 2t the meeting last
Saturday to put a sih9ll amount OF
stock on the market, as may people
have expressed a wish to acquire
an interest in the company. Fully
paid, non -assessable stock Will be sold
at so cents per share.
The enterprise under way has for its
object the developmentofP of Polk county,
and its success would mean much for I
the future prosperity Of this com
munity. People who have never ex-
perienccd an oil boom cannot appre-
ciate the commercial importance of a I
big oil strike in Polk county. In
some Of the older states where oil has
been found, cities have sprung up like I
magic, and uninhabited wastes one \
dayare populous communities the j
next
Oil has been found in large guam \
titles in California and in Alaska,
and experts who have been over the
ground say that the formation in Polk o
county where the Salt Gas and Oil Il
Company has its leases is certainly

while of the capitalists and business ?

power to help the movement along

county really are. The surface of the ''
ground has hardly been scratched as

Il also agree that will not
require an advancementOf any money
represented by the bonds issued until
nave completed section of seven
miles of said road, and have the same
In operation, that is to say, as soon as

Is completed so that locomotive and !
traln Of cars can pass over the same.
then there shall be due and PAYABLE to /

half Of said 1900. to the extent of

If this proposition is accepted T /.
VIII commence operations Immediately L
after the said terminal grounds and
riight OF way is procured for me, and
II TINS proposition is accepted fmme-
dIately under the usual and ordinary

No Contagious Disease.

A COW and calf belonging to Fl. G.
Campbell died recently, and few
days later A. Shultz, who lives just
across the street from Mr.. Campbell,
lost a valuable milk COW. The death
Of these animals was mystifying to
their owners, and County Stock In
spector I, j. Fryer was sent for.
After careful investigation, Mr.. Fryer
gave it as his opinion that the animals
died from eating some poisonous
weed. In letter to Mr.. Campbell, he
says: Il can assure the people living
in your neighborhood that in none Of
these cases was death caused by any
Infectious or contagious disease. "

slowly absorb. Then it was placed in
the refrigerator between two pieces of
ice, and, giving it a few loving pats, Mr..
Bowser stood back and beamed upon
it and said:
''The deed is done. We have here
the finest and probably the only ripe
watermelon in the city. 1t will take
about six hours for it to DOL off n
thoroughly absorb the claret. At din
ner tomorrow evening l will treat you
to such a feast as the gods of Olympia

AT bedtime Mr.. Bowser went down
to the refrigerator to see that his wa
termeIon hadn't got away. He found
it all there, and he smiled paternally.
The talk next morning between his
awakening and leaving for the Office
was all about that melon. He turned
it over in its icy bed before depart
ing, and he threatened the cook with
dire pains and penalties if she eve
gave it a motherly pat during the day.
At noon he telephoned home to have
it quietly turned on it's left side, n
at 3 p. m. he telephoned again to have
it turned back. He was home fifteen
minutes ahead of time, and as lie en-
tered the hall his first question was
about the melon.

the box as carefully as if it had been

moment later the two halves of the
fruit lay exposed to the gaze of the
world. The claret had given the core
something of the color of walnut ctain.
but only one glance was needed to
prove that the fruit was as hard as Il
| rock and as green as grass.
"You-you"- began Mrs. Bowser. but
Dir. BowSer checked her with a look.
Then he pat down the knife. folded
bis arms and walked stittiy through TO
the back yard. Mrs. Bowser got her
breath and went slowly upstairs. The

a dark corner, and the cook ave II
