New Orleans, March 17-Spot cotton
quiet; neither buyers nor factors cared
to operate while futures were so unset
tied. Sales, 1870 bales, including 100 to
arrive. Quotations reduced &c. Futures
opened steady with prices unchanged to
points lower On the strength of Liver
pool local prices went up points above
the close of yesterday in May and July.
However, bearish sentiment predominated
and much was made Of the heavier re-
ceipts and the scattered rains seen on the
weather maps Although some traders
claimed that the market was oversold, it
did not prevent an immense volume of
selling orders from being dumped on tho
market. While some of these orders may
have come from liquidatIng longs, the
bulk of them came from short sellers. At
the bottom of the break that was brought
about prominent longs were heavy buy
frs, which caused fairly wide reaction.
No good reason except manipulation can
be advanced for the break. No one claimed
last night that the market was heavy
with weak longs and no one believed that
1t was this morning after the decline had
spent itself. Some one was evidently pull
ing the strings and sending prices up or
down, as was desired.

SAD DAY WITHOUT 'PossUM
Christmas a Cherries Event TO Col
ored People who Failed TO
Get FavOrIte Meat.

The Christmas Just celebrated was not
without a well defined tincture of disap-
pointment 10 some of the colored COM
ponents Of Omaha's population. Annually
many of the colored citizens and their
families have fixed their mouths for pos
sum at the yuletde. and, provided they
had the wherewithal, have gratihed their
appetites.
Several Of the game and poultry commits
sion houses have catered to this demand
for a long time, but this year the visible
supply of 'possum was small, indeed. Only
few Of the much wanted carcasses
reached the city and repeated efforts failed
to secure more.
At the several places on commission row
episodes just escaping the borders of a
riot took place Saturday when sundry col
ored persons acclaimed for 'possum and
failed to get It. One dealer did have a
few. but unthinkingly disposed of them to
a retailer, who, in turn, disposed of them
to great advantage TO a mercenary black
man who held the delicacies up for fabu-
lous prices--and got them. But the great
bulk of the colored population went un.
comforted and were forced to do as well
as they could with attacks on chicken
turkey duck and various kinds of roast
not omitting lamb, lamb, lamb"

James Adams, Soldiers Home, CAL
The majority of people labor under the
impression that an operation is necessary
in severe cases of piles, or hemorrhoids,
and are very skeptical regarding the reme-
dial virtues of any medicinal compound
Testimony like the above should certainly
have a tendency to dispel this impression,
although 1t is odd thav such a fallacy
should prevail, and still more odd that so
many people should think an operation
effects permanent cure, whereas the con-
trary is more often the case.
We advise all sufferers from this painful
complaint to buy'a ffty-cent package of
Pyramid Pile Cure at any drug store and
try 1t tonight.
Those interested cannot be too strongly
urged to write Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall
Mich, for their little book describing the
causes and cure of Piles. as It contains
valuable information and is sent free for
the asking.

CALVIN FOR The BIC JOB
0. R. & N. Man Slated to Succeed Mark
han with Southern Pacific,
MEANING OF HENDERsoEs CHANGE
Latter Resigns as superintendent
of san Pedro TO Go
with His ola As
sOciate.

II. W. Henderson superintendent Of the
San Pedro at Salt Lake City, has rendered
his resignation to take effect on Decem-
Der 81.
There is no particular significance in
the foregoing announcement TO the casual
mind, but back of the change is one OF
he most important moves Affecting the
personnel of Hartman railroad officials
since the resignation OF Charles II. Mark
ham, general manager and fourth vice
president of the Southern Pacific" said a
local railroad man.
1T is well understood by those on the in
side that Henderson has resigned to go with
e. e. Calvin, general manager Of the
Oregon Railway & Navigation company.
No official announcement has been made
OF the fact, but it is generally understood
that Mr.. Calvin is to succeed Mr.. Mark
ham. Both movements are the most
natural results. When w. H. Bancroft,
vice president Of the oregon Short Line,
was sent to San Francisco to relieve Mr..
Markham, II is said he was given authority
to name Mr.. Markham as his successor.
He offered the position to Mr.. Calvin ana
the latter accepted the offer sometime ago.
Mr. Calvin has been Mr.. Bancroft's right
hand man for years. He was formerly gen.
eral superintendent of the Oregon Short
Line and although Mr.. Bancroft held the
title or general manager, Mr.. Calvin per-
form the duties of the office"
bancroft, the silent Man.
Two years ago Mr. Calvin was given the
title of general manager of the road as the
work had become too arduous for Mr.. Ban
croft, who could no longer give the duties
his personal attention. When Mr.. Mohler
was made general manager of the Union
Pacific, Mr.. Calvin, who is known as the
silent man." was sent to Portland to take
Mr.. Mohlers place. When Mr.. Calvin was
general superintendent of the Short Line,
Mr.. Henderson was his assistant There
was a warm friendship between the two
men and II was expected that Mr.. Hender-
son would succeed Mr.. Calvin as the latter
moved upward. At the time, however, that
the San Pedro established its general Offices
at Salt Lake many of the Short Line men
were given official positions with the new
road and Mr.. Henderson was one of them.
He was made general superintendent Of the
road. 1t is now asserted that he will hold
a prominent position under Mr.. Calvin on
the Southern Pacific.
1T Is all cut and dried" said the local
official, that Calvin will go to the South
ern Pacific. In fact this was generally
understood soon after Mr. Bancroft was
appointed acting general manager to re-
lieve Mr.. Markham. H. E. Van Housen,
an old-time Union Pacific man who has
been superintendent Of the Copper Belt
railroad, will succeed Henderson"

STRIKER DYING
FROM NEGLECT
Friends Say He Was Kept in
Jail Three Days on Trivial
Charge and Not Given Food
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 27.-Au-
gust Wallet, one of the striking coal
miners Of Carson County. was brought
to this city in a dying condition this
morning and placed in st. Marks Hos
pital. His friends say that his condi-
ton is due to hardships suffered in Jail
at Sunnyside.
Wallet was arrested by the guards
and jailed on a charge of vagrancy.
It is now alleged that he,was left with
out food for three days, and, that al
though the weather was bitter cold.
he was not allowed fire. After his
release he became i'll and rapidly grew
worse. His friends say that Thursday
last they tried to send a messenger for
a physician to attend Wallet, but the
company guards would not permit the
messenger to pass. Wallets friends
finally demanded pass from the mine
superintendent so that the sufferer
could be removed. The physicians
say Wallet is in terrible condition.

combined output of all the furnaces in
the .Mahoning and Shenango valleys,
some of which have been idle for six
months. The price at which the pig
iron was sold is an advance of about
so cents per ton over the price pre-
vailing in January.
Every blast furnace owned by the
United States Steel Corporation in the
Central West is now in full operation
and the material contracted for to-day
is in addition to its own output. The
feeling among steel men in this city to-
day was distinctly optimistic, express
ing the opinion that the period of de-
preston experienced in some quarters
during the past several months has
run it's course and that prospects for a
season of renewed prosperity in the
iron trade are exceedingly good. The
starting up of the Mahoning and Shen-
ango Valley furnaces will stimulate
the demand for coke, it is said, and
