 To OWNERS OF spor COTTON. To tie Farmers:
 Victory Is yours Owing ta the marvellous ab lity you have shown to the world in your determination to hold your cotton you have awakened all the civilized nations te the enor mlty Of the great possibilities of your. self and the South. You are masters or the situation, and upon you de Volves, now that you have won your victory, that you should reap the re suits and profits from that wonderful success, which has astounded the civilized world until every day they are echoing and applauding you in your great work. You astonished the world when you told them that you would bod your cotton. They ap- plaud you now when they realize that you have done what you said you would. When you stated to the world that you would also reduce your acreage and your fertilize;s they look. ed on and wondered if you would do it. Now that you have done what you said that you would do, and there is suffi- cent evidence t) convince any mortal man you have made tie reducl ion winch you promised you would, they are 5 i'll more in wonder al your great wisdom and strength Therefore, now that victory is yours and the whO'e clylil2ed world is standing and utter ing their praise of you, il bshooyes you To stand firm, reap the full benefits of this great and good victory, ana SC cure the profits to yourself and to your Southern bre thren.
 You should not sell another bale of your cotton for 60 days.
 Realize this,-that the balance of the cotton which you may hold will iesultI the price not only of the bal ance of this crop. but also regu ate the price of next years crop which you have worked so wonderfully to circum scribe, for by forcing what you now have upon he marke. it will deprecate the price of not only every bale that you bring in, but every bale that you have left on your plantations and in your storehouses. and also depreciate every bale that you have ig the ground and which you have worked so hard and industriously to put there.
 Therefore, hold your cotton. Stand firm. Do not sell another bale for 60 days. In that time 1 can assure you there are plans being perfected that will be of great benefit to you.
 Rest assured of this--you are surely the Masters. Be the Masters now. and forever be the Masters
 Yours truly,

SUSPECT CARRIES A BIBLE

George e. Wicks, who claims that he
is from Chicago, was arrested yester-
day by Detective Ingram and booked
at the city Jail on suspicion of endeav-
oring to enter the house of Mrs. Anita
Miner and her sister at 537 West First
street at noon yesterday. Mrs. Miner
found him wandering about in her
house. and when she inquired his pur-
pose he answered that he was looking
for man named Harry Bennett, a
boilermaker.
Mrs. Miner surmised that he was
looking for jewelry of her guests and
seized a telephone and notified the
police. He left the house in a decided
hurry and ran up North Hill street for
three blocks, where he was captured by
Ingram. He carried a Bible and a big
bunch of keys, and told the officer that
he was in search Of flowers which he
said he pressed in his Bible.
Wicks claims that he came here from
San Diego three weeks ago, but could
not give any address of himself In this
city. The presence of the keys inspired
the detectives to look deeper into the
affair. Wicks said his wife, who is n.
travelling missionary, gave him the
Bible. The detectives are trying to find
the owner Of the book

Wornen's Clubs
They Have Her Spotted

Angelenos can never again affirm that
the agitation of women is Of no avail,
The garbage collectors have certain
prominent woman Of garbage fame
spotted.
"Have you got any garbage today
ma'am," was the question which
greeted her one morning short time
ago when she opened her back door II
response to a o'clock caller
She was so surprised for minute
that she only stood and looked at the
man, then the keen sense of humor
which she possesses took the upper
hand and she laughed.
In her particular neighborhood the
garbage collector had been in the habit
Of calling at 10 o'clock or as much later
as he happened to feel inclined. II
the can happened to be conveniently
awaiting him on the front sidewalk he
emptied it, but never before has there
been a case on record when the gar
bage man solicited the contents of the
can at the back door.
The women are rejoicing over the
prospects of sanitary garbage wagon
cans, an entirely ideal state of affairs
for the near future, secured through
the efforts of the same member of the
Out Door Art league Of the Civic fed
Grafton, who now greets the garbage
man on the back doorstep.
"They have you spotted" is what her
friends call 1t.

Special to The He1 aid.
WICHITA, Kas., Oct. 1S.-An ele-
phant belonging to a carnival COM
pany appearing here was taken into
the Pennsylvania saloon Thursday and
given nine quarts of whisky.
The. animal was made drunk and
when whisky was refused reached
across the bar with its trunk and
swept the sideboard clean of glasses.
1t secured a large decanter of
whisky, whirled it over it's head and
broke a large hole in the TOP of the
bar with 1t. The elephant for time
seemed about to tear UP the entire
place, being so enraged from the eff
fects Of the liquor.
The whisky in bottles was first given
and the beast drank with relish in
pure Kansas style, holding the bottle
in it's trunk tipping it up and letting
1t run down it's throat. The liquor
took effect in a few minutes. When
more was refused the animal started
the disturbance.
A large number of men were In the
saloon at the time. and made a hasty
retreat when the elephant began to
throw bottles and show other evil
dences of intoXication. After awhile
the animal sat down on it's launches
and sopped the liquor which it had
scattered about the bar and over the
floor and then fell asleep.
1t required some time before the
animal could be awakened and taken
to its quarters.

Lively discussion in Ruskin Art cIut

Is it better to go to Europe to study
art, or to stay in America?
This was the question which furnished
food for lively discussion at the meet
ing of the Ruskin Art club yesterday
morning. Some of the members con-
tended that the advantages in America
at the present time are as good as those
abroad, and others believed the atmos-
phere which surrounds the homes of the
old masters is beneficial while one
member declared that for that very
reason 1t would be better to stay in
America, as here the artists own genius
will develop with greater Individuality
for not being influenced by the masters.
Mrs. D. K. Edwards and Mrs. F. e.
Fay were the leaders Of the meeting
and the subject for the day was The
Beginning of American Sculpture:
From 1850 to 1880"
Mrs. J. e. Crandall read a paper
dealing with the conditions which sur
rounded early sculpture and also spoke
of the work of Rush and Augur.
Mrs. Fay spoke of the life and work
of Hiram Powers. and Mrs. Philip New
mark told many interesting things
about Henry Kirk Brown and Clarke
Mills Mrs. II. C. Wadleigh talked OF
the work of Horatio Greenough.

Some seasonabIe Advice

It may be a piece Of .superfluous adj
vice to urge people at this season of the
year to lay In supply of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to
be needed before winter is over, and
much more prompt and satisfactory re-
suits are obtained when taken as soon
as a cold is contracted and before It has
become settled in the system, which can
only be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remedy is so widely known
and so altogether good that no one
should hesitate about buying it in pref
erence to any other. 1t is for sale by
all leading druggists.
