COTTON MARKET EXCITED.
Prices Soar and in Short Time Go
Tumblinq.

TunbIing.
New York, July 27.-Prices for
cotton bounded up almost instntly
when the government report of a de-
crease Of 14.9 in the acreage planted
as compared with last year was re-
ceived on the exchange. The gains
ranged from IL to Ii points. October
reached 11.17 cents. Tremendous sell
ing, presumably by large long inter-
ests, followed and prices went tum-
bling. October was beaten down Is
points from the highest to Hop. The
market was excited and irregular.

Colorado Soldiers, Reunion.

Many suggestions have been thrown
out of late by members of Colorado or
ganizations in the civil war as to reun-
ion next fall during the national encamp-
ment to be held in Denver. The surviy-
ing members of the First, Second and
Third Colorado Cavalry regiments and
the Colorado Battery are scattered
broadcast all over the country, and many
of them will doubtless be present at the
encampment. All such as may hear of
the proposed reunion are invited to com
municate with the undersigned, and
make such suggestions as they think will
aid in informing as many of our old com
rades as possible of the proposition, at
the same time sending the names and
postoffice address of all who are known
to them.
The press of the country, especially in
Colorado, will confer lasting favor by
giving this publicity at the earliest date.

Sunday-school Institute Proceeding,

Communicated.
The second Sunday school institute
under the auspices of the county associ
alton, held at Bethel church on the 23rd,
was one OF great helpfulness and inspir-
alton to those who had the privilege of
attending. The two state officers, Mrs.
Walker and Rev. Mr.. Carman, were pres
set and enthused us all with desire to
do better work and to endeavor to bring
the schools of the county up to higher
degree of efficiency. More and more is
1t becoming apparent that the Sunday
schools in order to measure up to the
highest ideal must adopt and adapt some
OF the methods used in our public school
system.
The conference on the topic, as the
church working to the full the Sunday
school idea?" was participated in by
quite number present. 1t was the con
census of opinion that it was not, for il
1t was there would not be so many Of the
boys and girls drift away out into the
world.
A bible drill by Rev. j. N. Davis PROV
ed the need of a more thorough study OF
the word
An address on, "Making the Sunday
school more interesting to boys and men,
by Rev. Carman, was very interesting.
lie spoke of the many sidedness OF a
boys nature, the nervous, residences, be-
ing constantly on the wiggle; that the
boys ought to be given something to do
not to be obliged to sit still through
the entire session; to make it interesting
for men; get up clubs for bible study,
which is being done all over the country.
Following the address was Question
Box conducted by Mrs. Walker, in
(which number OF questions pertinent
10 the work were asked and answered. =
The next n-the program was lunch
con, prepared by the good housewives OF
Prosperity. 1t was more than lunch
cont was feast After dinner Mrs.
Walker gave an address on "The tri-
umphs of the cross in Eastern lands" il
lustrating it by costumes and curios
brought by her from Palestine and other
countries. The manners and customs
have not changed any in all the years
since that country was inhabited. Many
passages of scripture which have been
somewhat puzzling we're made very
clear and plain by Mrs Walker. She is
so full of enthusiasm that no one can lis
ten to her without catching the spirit.
One never wearies in listening to her.
The address "For and against the
child" by Rev. Carman, was the last
topic on the program and owing to the
lateness of the hour could not be given
in full, but the speaker showed that there
were 13 points for the child to nine
against, proving that il Sunday school
workers were in dead earnest they would
win the child every time, for God is
stronger than satan.
A standing vote of thanks was given
our state officers for their presence and
words of helpfulness and inspiration.
We all came away feeling that it had
been good for us 10 be there, and that
the hospitality of the Bethel church peo-
pie could not be forgotten.

 were they not, under the circumstances subject to public criticism. It is not done for the purpose of attempting to interfere with his final action, on the contrary, comment was withheld until after his report to the president. We know that, actinr in the capacity of special investig ator," Judge Day Lid shaneiuiiy neglect, and refused, U m vestigate the most expensive and :,n- portant court center on the Yuk, n. The reasons for this neglect of duty Is up to Judge Day fer. explanation. If he is unjustly criticized, it should be made known 80 that the blame can rest where it properly belongs. This is matter which involves the rights of the people, and they should not be kept in ignorance of the true status.

 throughly detined, and sufficiently prov Een beyond reasonable doubt, had Day remained few hours at Rampant last summer. There was no other place in the division, at that time, where the evidence of guilt against these officials was so concentrated as it was at Ram part. The accused officials we'll knew the existance of this evidence, at the time this investigator was touring down the Yukon; and, trange to say, Judge Day visited all points in Alaska thereby giving the residens ample time to interview him." Day refused to hear any one in Rampant, and was barely ten minutes ashore. If Day was carrying on fair and impartial inves- tigation, Rampant was the very place he should have devoted few hours of his valuable and unlimited time. He cannot say our people would not come before him with their grievances, for he was notified, personally, upon his steamers arrival, that they were ready and anxious to give his committee inn portant testimony.
 No doubt Judge Day is fully compet- ent to manage an investigation of such nature, but his actions on the Yukon does not tend towards exculpating him, in the eyes of the people, from the ac- rcusation of resorting to unfair manipu- lations, on preconcerted procedure. Judge Days final report to the presi- dent, with reference to the judiciary of this division, is fully in accord with his actions on the Yukon: but not in har- mony with the actual facts as they are known to exist in this section, and it is on exactly the same line of injustice as the people have been receiving from the Wickersham administration. It is not justice to brand the peoples charg es as false, without giving them fair and impartial hearing. Such unfair treatment has called forth the present publicity, and the blame must rest on the guilty. The FORUM stands ready to back up every statement it has made in this matter with actual proofs. Our people asked for, and expected only fair treatment; but as they were entire ly ignored in the Investigation, still o1o ivo fho r.;rh+- <o 1n,,oond from tho

SATURDAY, JANUARY ', 1905.
 FOR the past two months the FORUM has devoted considerable space to des- cribing some of the minor illegal acts of the Federal officials of the Third judi cial division. This publicity was deem- cd necessary on account of Judge w. A. Days action, last summer, in refusing to grant the residents of Rampant, chance to personally interview the conn mittee sent by the president to inves- tigate the merits of the charges filed against federal officials of Alaska. Those who are not familiar with the public cctions of our officials, are entit- led to receive some enlightenment when charges of corruption and incompetency are filed against such officials. If the numerous instances, as heretofore men, toned in the columns of the FORUM, which emanate from this section, are not of sufficient specific nature; we will condense them in the following form, and explain them more throughly-if so desired. >t..
 JUDGE WICKERSHAM is charged with ''improprieties of office" in the abuse of administrative executive functions; illegal and unjust judicial actions; ille- gal and unjust executive actions.
