able to get them. A week ago he
telegraphed that the supply was
needed but received no reply, and
this morning another message OF
inquiry was sent in. The blanks
are printed as needed and on the
10Th of last month Mr.. Sharp was
notified that the blanks had gone
to the printer, and as they usually
are received within 80 days, he is
at loss to know why they are
being delayed so long. They will
probably arrive within the next
day or two. This is the first time
such a thing has happened here,
and it is quite a novel experience
not to be able to get a money order
in town of 5000 people.
THE HERALD learns from c.

completed, work on which will

Lindsey will also build a dwelling
at Olmito, but will retain his resi-
dence here, and spend a part of his
time at each place. THE HERALD
is glod TO note this material and
substantial improvement and hopes
Mr.. Lindsey may be successful in
his undertakings at Olmity.
In order to accommodate those
who are unable to attend to the
matter during the week, the tax
collectors Office will be open to-
morrow, and all who so desire may

stimates the total yield at 49,

! So acres, reduction of 1872. 399
acres, or 3.3 per cent reduction
from the acreage estimated as
planted.
It was officially announced that
the delay in the issuance of the
report was caused by wide di-
vergence in reports of yield per
acre, which caused prolonged
discussion.
The total number of pounds
poduced in the year 1866 will
amount to 1,890,217,358, not in
Guiding linters.
The estimated production in
500 bales by states is as follows:

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 4.-The
report of the National Ginners'
Association on this years cotton
crop was made known at noon
today. The report gives $685.
900 bales as the seasons yield.
President J. A. Taylor issued
a statement saying that the crop
report has been practically COM
pleted, and he has allowed 2 per
cent for an under estimate.
New Orleans, Dec. 4.-The
day on the cotton exchange was
easily the widest in it's history.
The bureau of statistics of the
department of agriculture made
its annual estimate of the cotton
crop, issuing figures of 1861
818 bales, of 500 pounds gross
weight.
Immediately upon the reading
of the figures, March, the most
active position, shot up to 142
points, slightly more than $500
a bale. This was an unprece-
denied advance. Just before the
estimate was read, March sold
for 11.88; the first sale following
the estimate was at Is cents and
the next was at 1880.

Usage City VIII Entertain Woodn1en
and Royal Neighbors.

Chas. ". Barnes, editor of the
Usage City Free Press, is enthusiastic
about the big time Usage City is plan
ming to have Thursday of next week
when the city will entertain the
Woodmen and the Royal Neighbors of
that territory at the annual meeting of
the Usage County Log Rolling associa-
ton. "An elaborate programme of
athletic sports; flower parade; a
creased pig parade and red lemonade
and other attractions of interest are
being provided for the entertainment
of the visitors" said he.
In addition to speeches by A. r.
Talbot, head consul of the Modern
Woodn1en of America, and w. E.
Stanley, ex-governor, there will be
short addresses by representatives of
the various organizations and the local
celebrities. There will be a formal
programme of this character but it
will be so arranged as to not conflict
with the athletic entertainments.
There will be ball game, a part of
the proceeds of which will go to the
county association.
THE committees in charge of the
entertainment have arranged for spe-
cfal trains from Carbonate and
Quenemo. These trains will reach
Usage City before noon and will return
in the evening after the conclusion of
the afternoon programme.
Reports already in hand indicate
that this Will be the largest celebra-

NO MORE DIVIDENDS.
First National Bank of Emporia Pays
IS Per Cent.

Emporia, Kan, Aug. 8.-There will be
no more dividends OF the assets of the
defunct Emporia First National bank
F. C. Newman, administrator of the
Cross estate, will make final settle
ment of the estate in probate court this
month. The estate will pay few more
dollars to the bank funds. C. B. Graves,
who has acted as attorney for the de-
positors, says it is pretty certain there
is nothing now on hand with which to
make another dividend. The bank re-
ceiver in Washington, who looks after
the winding up of defunct national
banks, recently Informed Mr.. Graves
that he was about to gather up all the
odds and ends of the bank, and hoped
thereby to realize enough to pay the ex-
penses still due.
The last hope the depositors chung
to was the Cross homestead case, re-
Gently decided in the supreme court
in favor of the Cross estate and
against the depositors. The bank paid
IS per cent. dividends. Some law
suits resulting from the bank failure
are still pending in the district court,
but the depositors have no hope of
realizing anything from them, as they
are not directly interested in the cases.

STARTED IN CHICAGO.
Origin of Chinese Boycott Has Been
Discovered.

Chicago, Aug. s.-The Daily News
today says: Disclosures made in con-
nection with frequent meetings at
secret rendezvous in this city. has
brought to light that Chicago has
played an initial part in inststuting the
boycott now raging in China against
American goods. PAX Shun, a, leading
Chinese merchant, outlined the situa-
ton today.
Rigid enforcement of the provisions of
the exclusion act stirred the Chinese to
dabbling in economic studies. The Chi
cago Chinese of wealth were barred
from bringing their wives into the Uni
ted States These examples and others
incensed the Chinese and it now devel-
ops made possible the rapid growth and
successful development of the associa-
ton that is now coaching Chinese all
over the world.
The first assessments made to meet
the expenses of bringing conditions to
the attention of the Pekin government
We're levied in Chicago. From this
center the movement spread. in all di-
rections. Before the expiration of the
Geary exclusion law last December
the Chinese association made known
it's purpose in Chicago.

his eyes would turn again to the speaker.

that he has shown this uneaSiness for

TWO WIFE BEATERS.
One Fails to Appear, the Other Has
Case Continued.

The case of r. E. Semple charged
with assault upon his wife was called
in the city court this morning and con-
tinued until the 18th of the month, as
the defendant is trying to effect
compromise. This is one of the nu-
merous cases where the husband seems
to feel that it is his duty as a husband
to chastize his wife when she causes
him disp1easure.
The case of the state against Jesse
Brown was called for trial in the city
court this morning and the defendant,
Brown, failed to put in an appear
ance, having been released on a bond
signed by J. e. Pottinger. The bond
was declared forfeited. but the matter
Will probably be adjusted as the de-
PENDANT showed up after the court had
adjourned and claimed that he did not
know that the case was set for this
morning. This is another case where
a socalled man has found himself
about to be injured by a woman and
has found 1t necessary to beat her up,
and in his case knife or other
weapon was used as well as his fists.
AS his bond was made very low he
will probably get off with a light fine.
