Cotton

There was another slump in
the price of cotton Monday, and
the market has declined thirty
points since last Saturday at
noon. 1t is thought. however,
that the decline is due TO the ap-
proach of Christmas. as there is
little trading done during the
holidays. While the crop is
larger this season than for many
years the consumption Of the raw
material is growing at a rapid
rate. and it is confidently be-
lieved that there will be an ad
vance in prices at the beginning
Of the New Year. Good mid
ding was quoted yesterday at
65 cents.

The Question of Street Paving.

L is only a question of very
short time when it will become
absolutely necessary to pave the
streets of Columbus, and it has
been suggested that as the
streets are to be torn up in lay
ing the track for the new street
railway, that now would be a
most Opportune time to under
take the work. 1t is true that
Columbus boasts of unusually
fine streets, and Commissioner
Childers is to be commended
upon the excellent manner in
which they are kept. but the
erection of many new factories
here has brought vast amount
of heavy traffic, which it is i'm :
possible for gravel streets to
withstand
Notwithstanding the fact that
many Internal mprovements
have recently been made the
finances of the city are in a good
condition, and the annual report
Of Mayor Gunter, which is soon
to be issued, will show that with
the exception of the outstanding
bonds we are practically free
from debt. 1t is a recognized
fact that one improvement al
ways calls for another, and the
installation of cement sidewalks
and a street railway system
makes the gravel streets seem
antequated and out of date. Co
Ium bus has grown rapidly dur
ing the past few years and new
citizens are moving in almost
every day, but to make these
newcomers satisfied and induce
them not only to stay here, but
to urge their relatives and friends
to come TO Colum bus, we must
give them the conveniences that
they have been used to else
where.

CrOxtOn Holmes Makes Bond.

CrOxtOn Holmes, who has been
in jail for the past two months
on the charge of completely in
the murder of young Dancy
Blewett, has at last succeeded in
obtaining his liberty. When it
was found that it would be finn
possible to try Homes case at
the NOvem Der term of circuit
court Judge Sykes granted lhim
bail in the sum of 81 900. .ENO one
could be found who was willing
to stand as security on the bond,
however, and the negro remained
in jail until last Thursday, when
he put up 1000 in cash, and
was given his liberty.
Holmes is a leader among the
negroes in the community in
which he lives, and is possessed
of a gOOdly share of this world S
goods. Among his possessions
was the plantation on which he
lived, and it was by dispOsing of
this property that he secured
the money to make his bond.
Ever since he was granted bail
by the court Holmes has been
trying to sell this plantation,
and on Wednesday last he nego-
tiated a deal with Mr.. Jim Cox,
who paid him 81 $50 for the pro-
perty. Mr.. Cox lives in the same
neighborhOod with the negro,
and the plantation which he has
just purchased is contiguous to
land already owned by him soon
after Holmes had received the
money which the sale Of the
place brought him he turned
over $1,000 to Sheriff Eggleston,
and in accordance with the order
issued by the court, was dis
charged from custody

The Mayors Court.

AS Christmas approaches
every negro ia town seems i'm
bued with the idea that he can
make enough money to buy a
present for his best girl and
enough booze to make the holi-
days hilarious by rolling the
bones, and in consequence the
police are kept col stantly busy
raiding crap games. The usual
NUM- Der of arrests were made
Saturday night and Sunday, and
on Monday morning Mayor Gun
ter had a large crowd of negro
crapists before him. Joe Bartee,
Lewis WitherspoOn, Jerry Phil
liys, William Mitchell and Julian
Mitchell all plead guilty to the
charge of crap shooting, and
each was taxed the price of gal
Ion of two dollar whiskey for in
dulging in the game.
c. D. McClain was up on the
drunk and disorderiy charge.
and was forced to contribute a
five dollar note to the city treas
ury.
VIM. ]. Elliott and George Lud-
wig, two white men who board
at the Stephenson House, corner
College and Fourth streets, be-
came involved in a dispute last
Sunday night which led to a
fight and wound up in the
mayors court Monday morning.
Both Elliott and Ludwig are
Northern men, but the latter has
been in the South long enough to
know how generous and warm
hearted its people are, having
been nursed through spell of
sickness here. When Elliott be
gan to abuse the South, Ludwig
took um bragg and after expOStu-
lating in vain with the dis
gruntled man finally gave him a
thrashing. The landlady became
frightened and in her excitement
telephoned to the fire depart
ment. The department respond
ed promptly and Fire Chief Van
diver, together with Chief of Pc
lice Munger, who was quickly on
the scene, arrested both Elliott
and Ludwig and took them to po-
lice headquarters. Upon inves-
tigation of the case Monday
morning Mayor Gunter fined
Elliott five dollars and Ludwig
was discharged, it having trans
pired at the hearing that Elliott
was the instigator of the row
and that he had cursed in the
presence of ladies.
Will Cams, negro who is
wanted in Columbia, Tenn, for
murder, was arrested in this
city by Chief of Police Munger
yesterday. 1t seems that the
murder was committed quite a
long time ago, and Cams has
been living in Colum bus for more
than a year, having been working
for Messrs. Money & Fennell,
who are engaged in the con
struction of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad bridge here, for several
weeks past Chief Munger
learned that he was wanted in
Colum bia on the charge of MUIR
der and placed him under arrest.
The officials at Colum bia were
notified by telegram that Cams
had been arrested, and a repre-
sentative Of the sheriff's Office is
expected to arrive here today to
take charge of the prisoner.

shifted to tea for awhile but was
not better, if anything worse.
AT that time 1 had a baby tocr

me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months ago l commenced using Pos

Avoid the Cheap and big Can" Bak-
Ing Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the pur-
chaser plenty of powder for his money. These
powders are so careleSsly made from inferior
materials that they will not make light, whole
some food Further, these cheap baking
powders have very small percentage of leaven-
Ing gas; therefore it takes from two to three
times as much of such powder to raise the cake
or biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking Powder.
Therefore in the long run, the actual cost to the
consumer Of such powders is more than Calumet
would be. Cheap baking powders leave the
bread sometimes bleached and acid, sometimes
yellow and alkaline, and always unpalatable.
They are never of uniform strength and quality.
Why not buy a perfectly wholesome baking
powder like Calumet, that is at the same time
moderate in price and one which can be relied

STOMACH ON FIRE

Mrs. Doherty has Extraordinary Ex-
perience and Undergoes a Marvellous
Change.

Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. lis Coates
street, Moberly, Mo-, is today picture of
robust health, and vet five years ago, she
barely escaped death from progressive
emaciation. To reporter she told the
following story
"In 1896 / began to have distressing
attacks of indigestion that continued for
two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned as if it was on fire. 1t
became finally SO delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. My inability
to take food reduced my weight to ninety
eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness
kept me i'll bed most of the time / was
really starving to death and besides was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
perplexed. He gave me tonics which
did me no good, and prescribed exercise
which I was too weak to attempt.
"One day when 1 was so faint and
chilled that could do not hing but crouch
down OH the floor by the fire, my father
brought me box of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. L found on trial
that they would stay OH my stomach un-
like everything else. 1 really felt better
after three doses and 1 kept Oh using
them. Food began to taste well and to
stay down. The pain and the burning
in the pit of my stomach lessened and at
last went away altogether. My weight
began to increase until it reached
1855 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that I was wasting to
death before, were astonished at the
change. 1 resumed my homework and
have hardly had occasion to call doctor
since. I have recommended DIR. Will

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

1t is unusual that a single Institution in a
city of 6, 600 people will Overshadow In i'm
portance every Other interest, but such is
the case with the American School of
Osteopathy, and A T. Still Infirmary at
Kirksville, No.
A stranger in Kirksville is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
by DIR. Still and his famous School and
Infrmary. 1t Is the largest patronlzed Nm
endowed institution OF its kind in the
United States.
DR.. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study There arc
over 1900 graduates and they are prac-
ticing in every state and territory OF the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical coleEes except drug ,s.. and nd
thorough is the teaching In anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students.
At the Infirmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form Of disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Kirksvi1e has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re-
thousands who have left the Institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as a safe and
rational method of cure. Several years ago
free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department of the school
and this is still in operation Hundreds OF
