The Book Sale.

Columbus is just now having
her first experience with an auc-
ton sale of books. Mr.. j. L.
Stanton has leased the stand of
the Bailey Millinery establish
ment on Main street for two
weeks and is conducting daily
auction sales of books.
The sales occur in the after
noon at half past two and at night
at half past seven and they are
crowded. Ladies are regular at
tendants and as Mr.. Stanton is
an experienced auctioneer the
sale never fails to attract and en-
terrain all who are present.
He sells all of the popular nov
els, the standard works, Bibles,
scientific works, and everything
in the book line. All you have to
do is to suggest that he put up
any book in his immense collec-
ton and he will do it taking the
chance of making the sale. Thus
some marvelously cheap books
have been bought and again some
have been sold which have
brought fancy prices.
An old negro dropped in on
last Monday and he was attract
ed with Stanton's tongue play
that he easily parted with SIPS
for a copy of Browning's poems
When asked which volume he
wanted he promptly pointed to
the one with the gilt lettering.
When Mr.. Stanton put up a
handsome Bible valued at four or
five dollars and a man bid 25cts
on it, he very promptly gave the
bidder the good book, stating
that any man who would make
such a lid on such a book needed
it and he would take his chance
on getting reward for the volume
in heaven.
Another way of auctioneerine
is to offer a book. If he gets ne
bid he himself will bid a cent and
if he gets no raise he losses the
book out of the door and it is
scram bled for by the street ur-
chins. All of these methods ado
to the pleasure of attending one
of his sales. He will be here FOL
the balance of the week and he
will be glad for the people of Co
lumbus to call and overlook hi.
stock. He sells at private sal,
also and has just received hi:
second consignment of books.

Cotton.

The bad weather, which has
continued almost uninterrupted
ly for many weeks past has, had
a stimulating effect apOn the cot
ton market, and there is a decid-
ed upward tendency in prices.
The New Orleans market opened
at al yesterday morning and
advanced ten points during the
forenoon. The advance, however,
was lost later in the day and at
the close the market was practi-
cally the same as at the opening.
The bad weather has delayed
far ming operations everywhere,
and it is generally conceded that
the crop this year will be at least
month late. Taking this fact
into consideration spinners are
more anxious to purchase than
they would be under normal
conditions, as it will probably be
the first of October before any
new cotton is in sight. Some of
the best posted cotton are decid-
eddy bulIish, and the prospects
are that prices will certainly re
main firm. with many indications
of even a more decided advance.
Messrs. VIM. Rhett & Co., on
yesterday quoted Il cents as the
reigning price for good middling
cotton in the local mar ket.

RESTORED TO CITIZENSHIP
Governor Kibbey Pardons A. s. Neigh
 bors and John Richards.

Governor Kibbey yesterday issued a pardon to A. s. Neighbors and John Richards, sent to the penitentiary for cattle stealing from Pinal county near ly two years ago. Neither Richards nor Neighbors is now in the peniten- tiary. having been released some time ago on parole. The pardon is for their restoration to citizenship.
 There was some doubt as to the guilt of the men and after they had been at
 Yuma for six months petitions for their pardon or parole were extensively signed by the citizens of PinaI county. Among the signers were members of the grand jury which had indicted
 them and the trial jury which had con Victed them. County officials and the most influential men of the county had also signed the petitions.
 Governor Brodie granted the paroles and within two months after the re- lease of Richards complaint was made
 that he had violated his parole in driv- ing cattle from one county to another without inspection. He was finally arrested by the
 rangers and brought to the county jail of this county to be re- turned to Yuma. The report made to Governor BrOQle on the case was not very complete and Richards was order ed returned to Yuma. On the day of the night on which he was to be talk
 en his wife came down to intercede for him. It happened that the gov ernOr on that day had left for the east. Mrs. Richards caught him at Fl PasO by telegraph and the gover-
 nor wired back instructing Acting ! Governor Nichols to take such action as he might think fit after an investi- gation of the case. The dispositions
 of witnesses in TontO Basin were talk en. They testified as to the general good conduct of Richards since his re- lease on parole. It was then shown | that he had been guilty of no other | Offense than driving cattle across the ] boundary of a county without inspec-
 don. It was also shown that while | that was violation of the law it was quite common among cattlemen. Il
 was evident that Richards had not meant to commit a crime and there
 was no way by which lie could profit by
 his act. He was then discharged from custody.
