An Explanation.
EDITOR COURIER.

EDIIOt OOURIER.
In the issue of your paper
of October 10 is an article which
purposes to give the decision of
Judge Burke concerning a Ger.
tain thresher's lien The case
being S. Mitchell VS.. Monarch
Elevator Company. The article
states: Plaintiff threshed grain
for S. Almklov and Christ Stein
born. They sold the grain to
the elevator company before the
thresher filed his lien. They re.
fused to pay for the threshing
and the elevator was sued.
Whatever meaning the1editor in
tended this write-up to convey to
the readers of his paper is not
for me to say, but the way the
article is written might give the
impression that I refused to pay
a honest bill or for threshing
done for me. The fact of it is
that Mr.. Christ Steinborn rented
the land from he and in rent

Entertaii nI1lents.
4 Number Of high Grade Attrae.
tions Secured.

In past years high class enter
tainments here for various rea-
sons proved unsuccessful finan.
c'ally and for this reason there
has been a dearth of entertain.
ment of this kind. In order to
secure u number of attractions
of worth for the coming season
about twenty five of the business
men of the town formed an asso-
citation each pledging himself to
pay his proportionate part of any
deficit that might be made in
bringing in the different attrac.
tons. Any surplus that might
remain at the close OF the season
to go into the treasury for the
ensuing year. This is not a
business proposition from which
they expect to profit financially
but merely a guarantee associa
ton. Cooperstown should have
more high class entertainments
and it is to secure this that these
men have taken upon themselves
this obligation. In order to make
this season a financial success
they have decided to sell course
tickets for adults and for child.
rem at price less than five
single admissions and hope that
when these are offered for sale
that all will aid by purchasing
one of these course tickets and
by so doing, assure the success
of the venture for the season and
make it possible to continue
these courses. In so doing you
will receive more than your
moneys worth and will at the
same time be aiding in the ad.
vancement of the community.
Three numbers have already
been engaged and it is expected
that at least two more will be Sc.
cured. The three already Sc
cured are Capt. Hobson, Nov. "a;
Americas Jubilee Singers, Dec.
20; Alton Packard Jan. 16.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Friday morning the James
town High School Basket Ball
team arrived on the ten twenty.
five train. In the afternoon
after listening to one of the
classes in our High School they
went out to get good practice
on our grounds so they would be
able to easily mark the score
''fifteen to nothing" in favor of
Jamestown. At about 4:30 the
game commenced but from the
first they were doomed; at the
end of the first half the score
stood five to two. Fifteen min
utes more of hard work and a
good deal of throwing for fouls
shattered their hopes completely
for the score card showed a
score of eleven to four in favor
of Cooperstown.. Mary Koch
and Mable Francis played as for
wards, Grace Warner and Clara
Hammer held their own as
guards against the jamestown
basket throwers at their end OF
the rectangle. Josephine Ham
mer and Hazel Hartman played
in the centre court procuring
the ball as it came their way. In
the evening the girls of our bas-
ket ball team tried to make
them feel better by giving them
a good time at the opera house
playing progressive games at
which Miss ingalls, and Mr..
Wonnenberg won a box of candy
each, as prizes. After light re.
freshments the party broke up
about twelve all happy but tired.
Saturday morning the men,
bers of the jamestown team
rushed down to the station to
see that their foot ball team ar.
rived safely. In the afternoon
at a little after one the foot ball
game, the first foot ball game
ever played in Cooperstown, COM
menced. Here jamestown ex-
pected to walk off with the game
without the least trouble, but
they acknowledged they had to
work for every score which they
got. During the first half one
player was knocked out and they
made seventeen scores to Coop.
erstown's none. After ten min
utes rest and coaching the fight
was on again, this time James
town only making five scores
and Cooperstown two. The two
teams left a little after three all
saying they had a good time

The jamestown and Coopers-
town high school football teams
played a game on the local grid
iron last Saturday afternoon the
visitors winning by a score of22
to 2. This was the first cameo
football ever played in Coopers-
town and the home boys made a
very creditable showing, much
better than was expected of
them. When they get more ac-
quainted with the game they
will be in a position to give their
opponents the worth of their
money.

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

October ruled very strong at 10s4 today, just as 1t did at 9% or SA cents.
 The advance does Aot seem to change sentiment or the tone market does not seem to be any more a snort sale now than when 1t was lower
 In fact the more innamed the specula- tive mind becomes the harder the mar ket continues, and this will continue until the price reaches a point where the last buyer has no one as enthusiastic as him. inevitable revulsion of feeling and wild market.
 There are no signs of 1t as yet There is likely to be another rapid advance at any time, but prices are now so high that It Is very hard to guess the market.
 There is nothing in the market upon which to base operations. Ten cents Is not high; Il cents is not high, nor is 12 cents if we are to have a snort crop. but who can know in June that the weather in July and August will ruin the crop
 It may make a good one. There lies the danger In the present speculation. When Sully pulled 1t from 10 to 1T1k cents we had 100000 crop. That was a matter of Knowledge. There was no reserve sup ply; now we have a good supply. and no man can tell what the crop will be.
 It is a time for caution. The weekly re- port showed more progress. This Is tho fourth weekly report showing an improve ment, but the government says deterior- ation.
 Some one ought to call for an investiga- ton of the weather bureau now.

 Over the Fourth.
REALIZING IS VERY HEAVY

New York. July 5.-The cotton market was again exceedingly active, sales be- ing estimated at fully million bales, and fluctuations being very broad sharp ad- vance early was followed by an equally severe decline during the afternoon, and prices at the close showed lite change as compared with Mondays finals.
 Tbe opening was irregular, and at an advance of 12 to 2S points This was hard- ly in response to the sensational gains in the English market over the Fourth Realizing was very heavy, but after work ing off a few points from the opening fig ures the market rallied on continued demand. and commission houses reached the high point of the day shortly after the weekly crop report at noon. although this stated that the condition of the crop showed some improvement. October sold at 10.S6 and January touched He. or net gains Of about 35 to 39 points. At these figures 1t was reported that leading bulls were selling actively, hoth in the southern and New York markets and prices lost almost all their gain under general liquidation. The close was at prac- tically the low point of the session. but steady at net advance of to points. Southern spot markets, according to off cial reports. were | to 1c higher, with some points reporting fair sales. The local spot market was 30 points higher, but no business was reported.
