HAYWARD, WICK & CLARK's COTTON
 LETTER.

(By Direct Private Wire to Virgin & Faunce.
 Managers; Phone 73S.)
 New Orleans. Feb. s.-The cotton market today was active by fits and starts, but the undertone held firm at all times at a moderate amount of buying. Offerings were not at all free and as a result the active months at o'clock showed an advance of nearly Sl per bale when compared with the closing of yesterday.
 The chief features of the morning were the continued bad weather in the cotton belt and favenous demand for actual cotton.
 The opening was steady at an advance of , to points. Liverpool was about 1t should have been when the course of the American markets yesterday was taken into |consideration. but 1t disappointed the bears. who expected a break on the effects of the market. however. either did not find the re- port very bearish or else was alarmed at the weather conditions prevailing over the cot ton belt Bulls were not disposed to be az gressive. but with a few slight recessiona the market showed a steady advance until the active months. just before 1 o'clock, were IT points higher than the closing of yesterday. This advance was mostly due to covering by those hears who went short yesterday.
 The interest of the market Is now center ed on the spot situation. and the course of the future market for the remainder of the chiefly by the extent of the short interest and the freedom with which cotton moves from the interior. Whether or not the spot interest Is large the shorts are making stren- uous efforts to cover their commitments and in doing so are sending the market up on themselves in manner highly agreeable to the bulls. This morning buyers swept the spot market c:ean of all offerings until fac tors had no more cotton to offer. when bids were raised temptingly high. Even the bears among the cotton buyers were forced to ad- init that they could buy no more cotton. This happened in spite of the fact that the light today was against the inspection of samples. Around the opening the market was called firm at an advance of 1-16c; later the market was quoted t c up. and at noon it was said to be at full 3-16c advance. Sales this morning and after hours yesterday amounted to about 1000 bales
 In connection with tbe limited offerings on factors tables 1t Is interesting to note that the net stock of cotton held in this port is 2s2,721 bales, against 379,3O6 at the same time last year.
 Private cables said that the market was not likely to decline unless Southern spot offerings should become freer, and that Egyptians were selling Spots were in good demand in Liverpool today.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
 Chicag6, Feb. S-Snow falling throughout the West and Southwest brought about selling movement in the wheat market nere today. ..,At :. the close May wheat was off Corn and provisions unchanged.
 Dullness to the point where trading at times was almost at standstiii was wIt. s. today Prices throughout the entire session showed "a downward tendency At the out set there was selling of July by longs who out the winter wheat belt would make new wheat in July more reassurtng. There was houses Lower prices at Liverpool had some effect on early trading. Initial quotations on May were off hc at 1.1eh Q 16& July After July had sold off to 1.O1% the price rallied to 1 .01 k on buying of fair line by a prominent commission house In sym pathy May sold up to 1. .16h. The support, however, was only temporary. The market soon became easy an lack of buying one reason for the poor demand was the fact that the domestic situation as to existing supplies and general distribution apparently offered little encouragement to believers in higher prices Reports told lack of demand as ample to meet the requirements Of the trade for some time to come Demand Tor cash wheat was correspo' o1tnslY quiet ke- ceipts at Minneapolis were unexpectedly large. The increased offerings formed one of the chief causes of moderate selling here during the day by houses with NorthwesteTn connections. Just before the close May sold off to 1 I6. At the same time July dropped to .OO% 91.OOH Closing prices were at 1.16H for May and at 1.o0N for July. Clearances were equal to 44,s00 bushels
 Notwithstanding the weakness of wheat the corn market held comparatively firm. Higher cables and damage reports from Ar gentina were the principal reasons for the firmness. Pit traders were moderate sell CTS Offerings readily taken by com mission houses May opened unchanged to a shade higher at 45b @45A, sold off to 45 and closed at 45B. Local receipts l4f cars none contract
 An effort by local bear leaders to raid the oats market was frustrated by active buying by shorts and commission houses. Cash deai- CTS reported much heavier offerings From the country and there was a good deal or selling in the pit against them. The market yielded somewhat to the selling pressure, closing rather easy. May opened uncnangeo to shade lower at SOh 60 3Oss, sold off to 3OM and closed at 3O$ q30h. Local re- ceiptsg were 42 cara.
 Considering the heavy receipts of i've hogs the provision market was surprisingly steady Fair buying by outsiders and mod crate covering by shorts held prices steady At the close May pork and ribs were l;n- changed at 12 S2la and 6. s2h respectively Lard was off 2iac at 6.S71S.

Anderson at Echo.

The local teachers institute held at
Echo Saturday, was we'll attended.
The addresses were interesting and in
structive and the musical features Of
the program We're well given. After
the address OF welcome by Mayor
l.. A. Esteb, Prof. e. H. Anderson Of
Athena, spoke on the subject, En-
ploying Teacher, From the Stand
point Of Director. = Mr.. Anderson
said that directors should exercise
more care in employing better teach
ers and that having secured those who
give satisfaction in their work they
should be retained until it was pos
sible to employ even better instruc-
tors. Directors often make mis-
take by changing teachers every term"
said he. Directors who do not
give the matter their immediate at
tention usually get those who are left
and these are generally found to be
incompetent.

The Simplex does it though, and
does it five or six times as fast as
the most rapid compositor.
1t was easy to make mistakes in the
old way, An would work into the
b box or d into the n box, but the
Simplex can make no such mistakes.
The operator can and doubtless will
continue to make mistakes, but they
will be fewer than before and the
hardships of the proof reader will be
considerably Iessened and the SEN
sibility of the critical newspaper read
or shocked less frequently than before.
1t would be almost an impossibility
to give an accurate description Of this
wonderful machine and the only way
to get even faint idea of its posi-
bilities is to come and examine its
workings. We publish picture in
this issue which is accurate as far as
general appearance goes, but of course
gives no idea as to how it il operated.
The Simplex type setter uses just
the same kind of type as is set by
hand. Each individual type has a
combination Of ''nickso or notches
cut on the edge, and on this fact Is
based the fundamental principle Of the
machine. AS will be noted in the
picture, the body Of the Simplex con
sists of two cylinders, one above and
rotating ON the other. In both cylin-
ders, extending vertically their full
length, are ninety parallel channels,
each channel corresponding to some
one type.
To distribute the type in the first
place, the channels of the upper cylin-
der are filed with dead matter type
that has been used) and is revolved

is apparently simple, it would be inn
possible to explain the matter intelli-
gently, so we won't try, but again
invite you to come and see for your
self.
The Simplex is small and compact,
weighing about 100 pounds and occu-
pying no more floor space than an ordi-
nary coal stove, and while it took
brains and lots Of them to invent it,
it is Of simple construction and not at
all liable to get out Of repair.
We have had it in opertion only few
days, but that is long enough to dis
cover its true worth, and every time
we see it work with almost human
intelligence, we feel like taking off
our hat in its presence.
II is certainly the best and most
wonderful machine that ever graced
a country printshop.

SPECIAL ELECTION.
Athena Will Vote On Water Bonds

Athena Will Vote On Water Bonds,
Monday, April H..
At the regular meeting of the city
council last night, the date for holding
the special election for the purpose
of voting on the question of bonding
the city for new water works system,
was set for Monday, April II.
The amount for which it is pro-
posed to bond the city is $35, 900 or
SO much thereof as will be found nee
essary to take up the present water
bonds and the construction of the new
system.
Another matter of Importance that
came before the council was the O. r.
& N. lease question concerning the
ground on which is located the city
water tank. A resolution was passed
citing the Company to appear at the
next regular meeting of the council
and show cause why the commits
sion's report should not be adopted
and certain streets opened.
The council allowed bills amounting
to the total of $1,254.33, including
$686.25, payment for the new power
house and equipment.

machine which is working such revo-
luton in the old methods of produc-
ing newspapers.
1t is probable that on no labor saving
machine has more time and money
been expended than on device to set
and distribute type. For over cen
tury inventors have struggled with
the question and while their efforts
were partially successful, it has only
been in the past ten years that prac-
tical machine has been put on the mar
ket.
1t seems like an impossibility that
any combination of machinery other
than that encompassed in the human
body could separate nearly a hundred
characters, pick them up again, form
them into words, combine the words,
place them in readiness for that older
but none the less marvellous result of
brains--the modern printing press.

THREE ARE TO DIE
sPoKANE'JAP MURDERER, WILL
BE THE FIRST ONE.
A. h. Armstrong Occupies Cell With
Condemned Man White
Will Complete Trio.

Walla Walla, Wash, April a.
Three men are to meet death within
short time at the state penitent-
iary. Two are already confined in
prison walls and the third will be
brought from Seattle within the next
few days.
H. Arao, the Spokane Jap murderer,
is the first to pay the penalty, being
sentenced to be hanged on June 3.
The day falls on Saturday, and is one
of the first legal execution to take
place other than Friday, which is re-
cognized the world over as execution
day. County Attorney Lester S. Will
son was asked as to the law governing
the case and replied that although Fri
day is not mentioned as being the le-
gal day, custom has almost universally
set it as day of execution. Warden
KEGS said that the commitment had
been received, properly signed, and
nothing now short of stay of execu-
ton can change the day.
The suggestion has been made that
an old calender of 1904 was consulted
in setting the day, as last year June
came on Friday and this year on Sat
urday. Confined in his cell with the
little Jap is A. H. Armstrong, the
Chehalis county murderer, whose exc
cution day has not yet been set. Arm
strong has been an inmate of the pen
itentiary for some time, having once
been sentenced to death and then al
lowed hearing in the supreme court.
The court affirmed the superior courts
decision and the execution must take
place Armstrong and Arao are op-
posite extremes, the white man weight
ing over 200 pounds and the Jap less
than 100. Both men seem indifferen-
to their fate and are as contented as
could be expected of any one in their
position.
One OF the first prisoners to be con
veyed to the penitentiary under the
new system of travelling guards will be
kid" White, sentenced from King
county to hang for murder. White
is youth and killed his man while
attempting to hold up Seattle saloon.
He is said to be rather proud Of the
fate he is to meet, and is spending his
time in writing history of his crimes
and his life.
