Threshing Cotton Bolls.

Houston, Texas, Jan. I1.-Ihe
method recently discovered where
by partly opened bolls ofcotton may
be run through a thresher and the
lint obtained has proved such a
success that it is being adopted
generally in Northern Texas. 1t
is now too late for many farmers to
take advantage of it, but in future
wears the cotton crop Of the State
will be materially increased by the
process.
About So per cent of the bolls
open through the action OF the sun
after they reach maturity, and the
lint is obtained by picking. Ten
per cent of them open by action
of the frost late in the fall, if the
cold is sharp enough and is not ac-
companied b. heavy sogging rains.
The remaining ten per cent has
heretofore been loss. By the new
process nearly all of these are made
available, only those so immature
as to show no sign of cracking being
useless.
After being run through the
thresher the bulls are knocked OFT
and the lint is then run through
the gin, as in the case of lint secur-
ed in the ordinary manner. The
product grades only low ordinary,
as rule, sometimes as ordinary.
On the basis of thirteen cents tor
niddling it sells at about S cents a
pound. II cost the farmer about
e cents hundred pounds to have
the bolls picked, the weight being
much greater than in the case OF
open lint. He gets about 90 cents
hundred pounds for the bolls slf
he desires to sell that way or he
can have it ginned himself and get
whatever the result may be.

The meeting had enough lntortna-
ton before It. Why rot act? All
that could be accomplished by
waiting would be to ges possibly
exac. figures. The 1csI.lt would
be the same. Tie expenditures
exceeded the revenues. The float
ing debt amounted to about s25, 900
and it would take loA mills to pay
it at once. 1t was his idea to fund
it and let it run through a period
of, say, ten years The bonded
indebtedness was plain. Any body
could understand that.
The meeting had gone far beyond
its scope. 1t was called at first to
consider the license ordinance and
had then gone into these other
matters. He moved as an amend
nent to the substitute that the
committee meet with the town
council and memorialize the legis-
lature to authorize special tax to
meet this floating debt.
Col. George Johnstone wanted to
know what they were going to do
with the deficit it go on plllng
up:
DR.. E. B. Settler favored Mr..
Alan Johnstoue's motion Another
meeting was needed and the citizens
should be willing to come here
another time to accomplish some
thing. An intellig ent note could
not be taken unless it was known
whether or not there could be found
better method than the license
tax. He would vote for a license
tax only as a last resort.
Mr.. Alan Johnstone replied to
Mr. Wallace. The first meeting
had no information, the second had
a little more information, the third
a little more, and the next meeting
would have still more information.
He hoped no one would lose interest
but if they did it was their own
fault. The question ought to be
settled.
Mr.. w. H. Wallace thought six
mills enough to run the town. He
and Col. Johnstone were not old
men and they remembered when
the town was run on two mills.
Six mills would run the town If
the doating indebtedness was out
of the way.
Mr.. Alan Johnstone's substitute
was adopted and the meeting ad-
iourned subject to the call OF the
chairman.

500 especially to the floating debt,
but it was to go for genera! pur-
poses. and the debt would simply
pile up. Let rs have a nio.e econ
omical. not parsi:llonious, admins
tration and it will furnish this $5,-
! 500.
Mr.. Alan Johnstone said the
! troublesome floating debt must be
dealt with feroically. 1t was
! patent that S., 500 year, part of
which was to be applied to some
thing else, would do little towards
liquidating debt of $4,000 with
intereat running at the rate of S2,-
900 a year. He moved as a substl-
tute for the motion before the house
that a committee, composed of the
seven gentlemen heretofore appoint
ed by the citizens meeting to obtain
information in regard to the floating
indebtedness and the current
expenses, with the addition
! of the chairman of the
meeting, he appointed to confer with
council and, after due deliberation,
to report some measure for funding
| the floating indebtedness Of the
town also measure other than
license system by which the cur
rent expenses Of the town, reduced
to an economical basis, may be met
out of the present revenues o. the
town.
! Mr.. F. H. Dominick thought
that to adopt the Substitute would
be practically to 60 back to the
starting point. A committee had
been appointed to look into the
! towns finances and had reported.
Why should not the matter be taken
up and settled right here: 1t might
take a long time to pay the debt OF
the town with $500 a year, but
a start must be made: He thought
the best thing for the meeting to
do was to take up any inequalities
which might be in the ordinance
and adjust them. He didn't un-
derstand how any real estate owner
could object to the license tax. II
it did not help the real estate owner
he would like to know whom 1t
did help. The s mill tax brought
in about $4,000 The license tax,
as estimated would bring in about
S., 500. When this income paid
the debt it was obliged to reduce
the property tax if the government
was economically administered.
, DR.. W. E. Pelham spoke in favor
of Mr.. Alan Johnstone's substitute.
The government had to be sup
ported, but he thought an econo-
mical administration was most to
be desired. He did not think the
meeting in possession of adequate
information to vote Oh the question
whether a license was desired and
desirable.
| Mr.. Don,inick wanted to know
ifDr. Pelham wanted to withdraw
the nnajo.ity report of the commit
tee, of which he was chairman,
submitted at the last meeting.
DR.. Pelham said be had no au-
thority to withdraw the report.
He spoke here simply as an individ-
ual and as man who always paid
his taxes.
Col. George Johnstone supported
Mr.. Alan Johnstone's motion. The
license tax was nothing but a tax

TO supply the present deficiency be-
tween receipts and disbursements and the
balance, if any is leftto the most pressing

AN EXPLANATION.
Col. Johnstone, by request of the
city clerk stated that the amount
of street duty collected showed an
increase of about $500, that the
present administration had nearly
doubled the license as collected un-
der the old system, that the fines
in the mayors court had been
nearly doubled, that 500 was Still
due on rents, and that the dispen-
sary profits showed a slight decrease
due, the city clerk thought, tc the
establishment of the Prosperity dis
pensary.
Mr.. F. H. Dominick stated that
the city clerk asked him to state tc
the meeting that the financial state
ment of the town had not been
made public on account Of the fact
that the sheriff had delayed report
ing on certain tax executions.
The report If the committee was
received as information and the
thanks OF the meeting were exten-
ded council for its prompt and full
report.
The report Of the committee
made at the previous meeting sub
hitting that license tax such as
was in question was desirable and
giving a schedule of licenses was
then before the house.
Mr.. F. H. Dominick moved the
adoption of the first part OF the
committee report submitting that
the license tax was desired and
desirable.
ALL THE MORE CONVINCED.
Col. Tohnstone was all the more
convinced, since seeing the state
meut of council, that the motion
ought not to prevail. He believed
in improving the condition OF the
town and in the Improvement that
had been made, but he believed the
taxes now being paid were sufficient
to carry on the government and
were all that ought to be paid.
Newberry, he said, was country
community, of about 5000 lnhab-
itants. with little disorder. Couldn' t
its government be maintained with
$4,000. He believed it ought to
be maintained with this amount
and still make progress. The cour-
teous clerk had given information
that SIS 600 was not all the reve-
nue now now in accordance with
the explanation he had already
made. Not all those who lived in
the, city we're yet paying street
duty. Why not rigidly enforce
the laws we have? The income
from license had not all been COL
lected previously. Why not go on
and collect the balance of it? Re-
tprns had not been made from all
tax executions turned oAec to the
sheriff. these executions would no

SAID THE BOY WAS DEAF.

At a leap year party held recently in Germantown novel way of raising funds for charitable object was sug- gested and carried out in the auctioning off of the young men preent, the high est bidder for each being entitled to his attentions for the cycling. A bright young girl was chosen for auctioneer, the boys being banished to another room. The sale started with the fair auctioneer naming the meritorious points of the young men. No names were used. but she managed in a humorous comment on their failings as well as their virtues. to indicate the personality of each one as offered. Bid ding started, off briskly in dime jumps. but after the dollar point was reached the auctioneer announced that the boys would be so impressed with their value that they would be o conceited to be good company. and bids were reduced to one cent. One young man hung fire at 30 cents Why, girls, the brass in this article is worth more than that, pleaded the auctioneer, in an effort to secure a higher bid: but to no avail. Sold at 30 cents" she announced, as the young man was brought in, adding, ''and you are dear at that" And the young man for the, life of him can't figure out whether he ought to cut the witty auctioneer's acquaintance or con- sider himself complimented. -Phila- delphia Record.

THE, BIG CIRCUS.
RECORD CROWDS ATTEND BOTH
 PERFORMANCES.

Excellent One All Through-COntafned
 Many Novel and Pleasing Features Gigantic Parade Witnessed by Many Thousands of People.
 The big circus. Forepaugh & Sells Brothers, has come and gone, and the many thousands of people who wit messed the gigantic parade and attend ed the performances voted it the best l that has ever visited New Haven. The weather was all that could be desired and was the means of drawing thou sands of people from the surrounding districts.
 The large tent was packed beyond its seating capacity at each performance, and while all could not get what they considered to be the best seat in the house. yet the arrangements were such Ithat the performance could be seen and enjoyed from almost any corner of the huge tent.
 The street parade was a remarkable lone. and the 261 well-fed and we'll groomed horses which took part in it
 were highly spoken of by all who saw them.
 The crowd in the evening was what
 might be termed happy lucky one,
 taking everything as it came along in
 a humorous and happy vein. You could
 even tramp on a mans pet corn and
 have him take it lightly while young
 lady who had her beautiful lace skirt shredded into fragments through a
 clunsy man stepping on it smiled and
 took 1t as a part of the performance or
 the consequences of circus day | Regarding the performance, the best
 that can be said about it is that it was
 novel. new and startling. full of events that were so thrilling and exciting that
 at times the huge audience was awe
 struck with the daring feats of several
 of the artists. The splendid horseman~ ship displayed and the maneuvers of Ithe well-trained animals called forth
 the hearty plaudits of the crowd The
 almost impossible feat of looping the
 loop and the thrilling work of Diavolo
 in his bicycle trick of leaping through
 space were both admired and heartily lapplauded.

The second meeting of the citizens general committee on the Fourth of July celebration was held at City hall last evening. The meeting was called to order by the chairman Of the com mittee, A Maxcy Hitler, at 8:15 with quite large attendance by the dele gates from the varies civil. patriotic, and benevolent societies. though many were prevented from attending on ac- count of previous engagements.
 Tn minutes of the meeting held a week previous were read by the secre- tary, W. E. whittlesey, and accepted. A report was then rendered by the treasurer, c. W. Ross, which showed that besides the $500 appropriated by the city, between $500 and s4OO had all ready been raised by subscription. and that s2OO more could probably be count ed upon to be raised in the same way. This would give the committee about SLIGO dollars. and possibly more, to de- fray the expenses of the Fourth of July celebration. Although the amount is not quite equal to the amount raised last year, the committee is confident that it is large enough to insure first class celebration.

Alarm Sounded for a Small Blaze
 on Henry Street,
 The fire department was called out last night by an alarm sounded at 7:10 to extenguish small fire in house at 137 Merry street. The fire was caused by an oil stove getting ablaze in some way. An attempt was made to ex- tinguish it by throwing a bed blanket over it. This only spread the fire, driv- ing it to the mattress and the furniture in the room. The fire was kept within the room and was extinguished before much damage resulted.
