New YORK Cotton Letter.

Ardmore, J. r., Aug. 9-F'ol
lowing is New York cotton let
ter by Mcintyre:
The market was quiet and ir-
regular today, owing 10 con-
hicting crop reports and also
tie in aud out operations Of the
different factions who have been
endeavoring to dominate things
f. the immediate future.
There was an advance of ten
points in the early trading.
lrrgely because of better spot
d nmand at Liverpool. This with
tar confirmation of yesterday $
high temperatures in the Allan
tic and gulf states and reports of
further damage to the crop by
c )nsiderable rust and shedding
which made shorts nervous and
prices were easily worked up.
Timely rains in the Dallas dis.
trict of Texas and beneficial
showers at many other places
checked the demand and later
the market was sold of sharply
by the bulls and the bear el.
ement. In this movement the
market went abont five points
high close and settled on that
basis with the speculation very
dull in the later afternoon trad,
idg.
We regard the market as a
waiting affair and we do not at
tach much importance TO the dai.
|ly fluctuations, as they seem to
be the result of in and out ope-
rations by operators TO dominate
future prices.
We think it will be more of a
weather market from now on,
and look fU II conth u d narrow
5 )eculation than anything else
until top crop conditions can lie
ascertained. We would rather
adhere TO the bull side, and
would favor purchases for mod,
crate turns than indulge in short
selling under existing conditions
Yours very truly,
h. +. Guillot 4 Co.

more troops are soon forthcoming or
something is done to pacify the people,
a general revolution must break loose.
Many Poles who have been in exile for

because they are taking advantage of

secretly entering the country by way
OF the remote sections of the frontier

nois Brick company. The object of

pointed to "pacify'' those not in ac-

tending to show that the. so-called
trust had supplied the sinews of war

strikes against independent brick

GRAND OPERA HERE.
Alice Nielsen VIII Appear at Audi
torium in Don PasquaIe.

Grand opera at the Auditorium in cos
tune and fun STAGE setting-that is the
programme for the night of December z
by Alice Nielsen and her company. The
opera will be Donizettis Don PaSquale.
Altman Barrett, who is booking the IA
nous singer on her tour of 1905-06, was in
nOuncement of the change from the orig
inal programme. Miss Nielsen with a
company of soIoists. is singing grand
opera selections in concert performances,
and this was the plan of her Topeka en-
gagement as first arranged. Mr.. Barrett,
however, took occasion to look at the Au-
ditorium and decided that it was possible
to put on grand opera.
Miss Nelson's company will bring full
stage settings, such as are used in the
aters, and these viii be set up for the
Topeka performance on the Auditorium
stage Tt may entail some intricate and
clever stage carpentering, but Mr.. Bar
rett decided that it could be done
1t will be distinctively novel and de-
hghtful to hear grand opera at the Audi
forum. 1t will be new and the Topeka
music loving public will look forward
with much interest to the experiment.
In Miss Nelson's company are Alfonso
Rosa, Fillipi Fratodi, Francesca Pratt
and Francesca Articci. Jose Van Den
directors. William Parry is stage mana
ger. The Shuberts present Miss Nielsen
under Henry Russells direction.
Don PasQuale is a comic grand opera.
1t gives Miss Nielsen an opportunity to
display her great powers as a musical
comedienne, through which she gained
fame.

Eastern People Lose Heavily in

Swindle Worked in Nearly Every

STATE SEAL FORGED
Number of Certificates Sold Oh
Same Tract of Land.
Holders Of Bogus Papers Are
Without Recourse.

Portland, Ore. Dec. with a dupli-
cate of the great seal of the state of
oregon and forgeries Of the signature
of the clerk Of the state land board.
eastern bankers and timber dealers
have been buncoed out of thousands Of
dollars in purchasing or lending money
on land sale certificates.
It is definitely known that S. A. D.
Puter and H. G. Mckinley, under con
viction for conspiracy to defraud the
United States government in the land
cases in which Senator Mitchell and
Congressman Williamson were also in
dicted were involved in these latter
frauds. 1t is alleged that Puter is the
ringleader. The crimes however, were
committed in other states and proba-
bly, no prosecution can be conducted
here. The crimes are not against the
state of Oregon, for the forgeFies could
not IN any way be binding upon, OF
cause q. loss to the state The holder
OF a forged certificate is the same posi-
non as man who holds a forged
bank note or counterfeit gold piece
1t is impossible to tell how extensive
the newly discovered frauds may be but
enough has been disclosed to warrant
tne pellef that they are of great mag
ntude. 1t is known that forged Ger
tlf1cates of sale are held in Minneapolis
ana other Minnesota cities, in Wisc0n-
sin, in Chicago, New York New Jersey
and even as far south as Florida
It is believed that these spurious doc
uznents will come to light in nearly sv-
cry state east OF Missouri.
One of the remarkable features of this
latest scheme for swindling on large
scale is that the perpetrators were not
satisfied with taking one duplicate of
a genuine certificate but in some cases
made two or three. 1t is apparent that
/ for one piece of land there are outstand-
/ ing one genuine certificate of sale and
/ two or three forged certificates. The
| holders of the forged certificates must
| lose their money unless they recover
from their assignors. Among the haav-
lest holders of fraudulent certificates
thus far discovered are H. G. Goddard,
La Crosse, Wis; George Baldwin, Apple
ton, Wis, and H. N. Delaittre, Mime

The forged certificates now located
aggregate fifteen thousand acres The
amount of money obtained on these
forged certificates will run into thou
sands Of dollars.

LAND IS WORTH IT.
1. L. Dlesem Writes Of Situation in
Western Kansas.

Mr. I. L Diesem, one of the promi-
nent farmers and stock raisers of Fin
ney county, writes from Garden City:
II have just read an article in your
last Sundays issue Of the State Journal
from one H. c. Speer, formerly state
superintendent of public instruction in
this state, but now a bond buyer in
Chicago. He heads his article Reaches
the Limit and says; The legitimate
land buying in western Kansas has
about reached its limit. I was out at
Garden City the other day and was
talking wit ha commercial man, who
said that he intended to buy some of
the western Kansas cheap land. ask
ed him his reason for such an invest
ment and asked him if he expected to
move on to it and try and make a
living.
No said the travelling man. I do
not intend to try to make a living off
Of this land nor make my home on it,
I intend to buy it simply for a specula-
ton, for I feel that there is q great
chance here to make something on the
investment I said to him, Don't --@u
think that this western land craze IS a
good thing for such people as you and
I to keep out OFF
Now then. Mr. Editor, that is just
what every true loyal Kansas who has
the pride of his own town and his state
at heart would have said. We do not
want speculative land buyers in this
section of the state, for we 90 not need
them at all What we want in Kansas
and particularly in this section of the
state is men of Drawn and muscle, men
of families, who move in among US and
expect to build homes here and sur
round themselves with the luxuries as
well as the necessities of life.
1--WE want men of common sense, men
who will buy large or small tracts OF
land just as they are able to pay Tor
them. Men who will improve their pur-
chases, make homes for themselves ana
their families and help to build up the
country. We want men TO move into this
section of the state who will become good
neighbOrs and become a part of our com
munity and assist US in making it a
better place in which to live. The price
of land in this section eff the Arkansas
Valley is not too high, nor out OF proper
ton with its earning value. Land has
not reached its true value by considerable
at this time. Our land in the immediate
vicinity of this city grows crops each sea
son which bring to their owner from SGT
to SO per acre. This same land can be
bought at from $40 to $50 per acre. This
| is certainly not paying a fictitious value
| for land. I have lived in this valley and
/ this city for nearly q years and be
| lieve that I voice the sentiment of the
/ community when say that we do not
/ want speculative land buyers to own the
! land about US, whether they be travelling
men or bond brokers from the east.
