HAYWARD, WICK q CIARK,s COTTON | LETTER

(By Direct Private Wire to Virgin & Faunce. Managers: Phone 7SS.)
 New Orleans, March 16.-The cotton trade today took long and reflective look at the Sully balloon and close inspection failed
 to reveal any parachute attached to it. The | earth is hard, as many bulls have found out i before this. and therefore conservative sym pathizers of the long side advised the aero
 nauts to be cautious and not to throw out l too many sand bags and thus allow the bal loon to soar to too great heights, from
 which fall would be all the more disas- | fused to give the present attempt to boost prices to higher levels any support, either
 moral or material. and they gave as their reason for their attitude the theory that reduction of 25 per cent in acreage will oo more toward enhancing the value of cot | ton than any attempt to bull prices now | CT between now and the end of the planting | season a farewell must be said to hopes of It can not be said that inc buu orowd accomplished much today, or that II ut-
 tempted to accomplish anything in the trad
 Ing up to o'clock. The market was given | no support at all by, the longs when the | Hood of reports telling of heavy selling or
 spots in the interior encouraged the bears of their old-time raids That the bulls were rather rusty from want of practice was
 seen Dy the way In which they went at put prices down until they were Is points
 lower than the highest levels of the morn
 ing; the active positions were 6 and I points
 higher than the closing of yesterday,
 The market opened steady with prices rom to up on a favorable Liverpool The present indications are that the heavy movement of cotton is liable to continue for some time to come. Reports from the
 country confirm and individuals whose vs- | racity can not be questioned, were to inc
 effect that during the last three days an enormous amount of cotton had been turn ed loose by the farmers. In Texas n1ona
 the sales of the last three days are esti mated at quarter of a million bales Much
 of this cotton had undoubtedly been pur- | chased for export. and consequently 1t will probably commence to move immediately Tn this connection 1t may be interesting to state that of the largest exnorfIrv houses in New Orleans today estimated that exports of cotton during the remainder of this month would amount to 45, 900 bales to Liverpool and 90o00 bales to the continent The demand for spots showed some signs Of slackening in the local market which | at noon was called easy and from 1Isc to hc lower than yesterday. Up to that
 time about l,500 bales had been sold on the spot. Throughout the morning offerines | were moderate.

manifested a iessened anxiety to acquire cotton. the demand remains good and Is much in excess of offerings. The country naturally sold considerable cotton on the ad- vancing market but today some points ad- wise offerings being withdrawn on account of the tendency of prices to sag.
 The situation does not justify the opin- ion that prices can be maintained at such higher levels nor is there reason to believe as long as the mills evince an unsuitable appetite that much depression will obtain. We would rather. therefore. accept the po- | sition as a scalping one and either buy or sell as the market declined or advanced in excess of moderate limits.

WOMAN THREW ACID.
Theory TO That Erect in the Pittsburg
Case.

Pittsburg, Kan, June 24--The con-
dition Of William Scott, the victim of
the acid throwing Wednesday night, is
not so favorable today. The physi-
clans have about given up hope OF
saving his right ear, and it is feared
he may lose one eye. The right eye
was not thought to be seriously in-
jured, and it was confidently expected
to save il. Today it has been disc
charging pus, and the probabilities are
that it will be lost.
Mr.. Scott has had a rather eventful
domestic life and has been a party TO
divorce proceedings. His present wife
is the third Mrs Scott He came here
a widower about twenty years ago,
and shortly after was married to
Mrs Kemp of this city. Mrs Kemp
was the mother of several children.
and these were the subject of many
disag reements between husband and
wife. A separation became necessary.
It was agreed by both parties to get
divorce, and Mr.. Scott secured one on
the ground of abandonment.
Mr.. Scott married Miss Mabel God
dess of GaIena a little over two years
ago, and they are living together at
present. He has always borne a good
reputation. and his employers speak in
the highest terms of him. 1t is the
general opinion that the crime was
committed by woman IN mems

GOVERNOR HocH AT HOME.
May Pick Out a. Secretary While He
Is Gone.

Governor Hoch left at noon today for
Marion. where he will spend several days.
He is not expected back in Topeka until
Tuesday. 1t is supposed that during his
absence he will iron out the private score
appointment.
All the guesses on the man who is to
get the job are so far without foundation,
but there is a rumor that a dark horse
is now slated for the job; a man whose
name so far has not been mentioned
John Madden of Emporia is still under
consideration, according to one story. Mr.
Madden was offered the place when Gov.
HOch was first elected, but declined. It
is said that he has since come to the con-
clusion that he might take the position
under certain conditions, but whether it is
still open to him is regarded as doubtful.
One rumor IS that Governor Hoch has
selected a Madison county man for the
place and has gone to Marion to see about
the matter o. F. Billings of Marion was
offered the place some time ago. but de-
clined. 1t is possible that it is Mr. Bill
lings that Governor Hoch is now trying
to land.

A HARVEST Rain.
In Many Portions of the Wheat Belt
Fields Are Soaked.

Concordia, Kas., June "a - Two
inches of rain has fallen here since
Thursday night. Harvest has just be
gun. Wheat and oats are ripening
fast. The fields are so wet that cut
ting will be delayed several days.
At Clay Center. - Clay county
received the hardest rain of the season
Friday. Wheat harvest is just start
ing in good shape, consequently the
heavy dOwnpCur is causing Uneasiness
The last two seasons have been too
wet for a complete harvest and farm
ers fear a repetition this year. Fields
are now completely soaked
At Junction City. - More than
an inch of rain fell here Friday, which
will cause a delay in the harvest. In
all parts of the county farmers were
cutting their grain Thursday. The
Smoky Hill river has risen about nine
feet this week.
At Misunderstanding rains, with
showery weather, have stopped har-
vesting for this week. Bottom land
wheat suffers most.
At Minneapolis. - Rain began
falling in this section Friday morning
about 2 o'clock. and has been pouring
in torrents. It is so dark that lamps
are necessary. The Solomon river at
this point is rising.

HoCH MUST DECIDE IT.
May Select Any Town He Chooses for
X N. G. Encampment.

After discussing the matter to consid-
cradle length Friday afternoon the mill
tary board came to the conclusion that it
would sidestep the dilemma concerning the
location for the K. N. C. encampment, re-
ferring the matter to Governor Hoch with
out recommendation. It is now up to the
governor to decide whether the encamp-
ment shall go to Topeka, Wichita, Well
lngton, Fort Riley or Leavenworth.
Inc Fort Leavenworth officers want the
guard to come down there and join the
regulars in hike across the country,
just for the practice of the thing The
hardly q fair proposition to put the IN
seasoned militia in hiking contest with
the regulars, who are trained every day in
the marching business and can stand long
tramps.
1t is likely that either Topeka, yelling
ton or Wichita will get the encampment.

to a cart and driven by William Hud-
son of MenOken became frightened at
the street cars and backed upon the
track Immediately in front Of an ap-
preaching car The cart was badly
smashed up but the fender on the car
saved the life of Mr. Hudson and
the horse, although Mr.. Hudson had
one hand painfully injured, the finger
nail being completely torn off from
one finger. The accident occurred
front of the blacksmith shop at 906
Kansas avenue. Witnesses of the af-
fair attach no blame to the motorman
or conductor, as they did everything
in their power to prevent the accident.
The street was rather crowded at the
time and the horse after backing on
the tralk seemed to be paralyzed by
fear.
