A BIG ADVANCE IN COTTON
Widespread Buying Set In-Net
Gains So SO Per Bale.

Memphis, Tenn. the aid of
an organized bull speculation, but pure
ly on what seems a calamity to the cot
ton crop in the central belt, cotton
prices advanced yesterday by leaps
and bounds, and the day will go down
IN history as one of the remarkable
ones in the cotton trade. The last gong
which marked the closing of the worlds
leading exchanges found prices the
highest for months and still seeking a
higher level. The total gain in value
for the day was So so to $500 per bale,
while the total advance since the pre-
ceding Monday was practically 1c per
pound, or $500 per bale.
1t was in the trade parance "purely
a weather market" In other words,
the condition of the weather, present,
past and prospective, was the moving
factor. The man with cotton to sell
now which is of any desirabl grade
will be in position to name his price
If present uneasiness and feeling con-
corning the crop damage is not dissi-
pated by few days of sunshine to
come some time.
The spot quotation in the Memphis
market was advanced 5-16c to 10 Lice
for middling upland cotton. In New
Orleans a similar advance took place,

GULF COAST STORM
$50 LIVES LOST AT MOBILE AND
PENSACOLA.
THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS
Reports From New Orleans Tell of
Heavy Loss Through
out Delta.

FlOmaton, Ala, Sept. 29.-Follow.
Ing the tropical hurricane and tidal
wave which for three days devasted
the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts.
came dire reports of destruction from
dozens Of seaport towns, meager re-
ports showing that the storm also
penetrated hundreds of miles inland.
Seventy-five persons are reported
killed at Mobile, Ala, as many more
at Pensacola, Fla, and 1t is believed
this will be doubled by aggregate loss
of life in several seacCa5t towns and
villages which are now isolated.
Mobiles property damage is over
$3,0O0,900, while Pensacola's is $5,-
100000. The wharves in both cities
are mass of total wreckage. At
Pensacola every house along the wa
ter front for ten miles is destroyed.
Both Mobile and Pensacola are
under martial law, and soldiers guard
devastated houses. LOoters and ghOuls
are plying, but are receiving summary
treatment when captured.
The destruction to shipping has
been heavy. Fully two-score vessels
have been driven ashore or wrecked
in various portions of the gulf
In Mobile 5000 houses have col
lapsed, and the whole water front
is lined with wrecked ships and
smaller craft, while the wharves and
approaches are in ruins. Water rose
to Bienville square, the highest point
in the city, and hardly one of the
business houses escaped damage. The
streets were covered with water the
entire length of the city, and cotton
bales and mercantile goods strewn
in the streets. The light plants were
destroyed and the city is in darkness.

WARNED OF NEW STORM.
Mobile Retires, Filled With Gloomy
Forebodinps

Mobile, Ala.--Haunted by the recol-
lection Ct the great storm which has
just passed, sustaining further injury
and increased financial loss from a
heavy rainfall today and fearful of what
tomorrow may bring, the residents of
the city of Mobile had today a most un-
comfortable twelve hours, and retired
for the night filled with foreboding.
Many residents of the place were at
times in state of semi-panic over the
dispatches from Washington, which
directed that storm warnings be dis
played along the Florida coast. There
was slight grain of comfort in the
earlier messages, as they did not men,
tion Mobile among the places likely to
be visited by the storm now coming up
through the Gulf of Mexico. Late in
the day, however, the name of Mobile
was added to the list of places in the
path of a possible tornado, and Mobiles
cup, which had been full of misery all
day, commenced to drip over the edge.
During the early evening the barom-
eter here registered %. 63 and had been
almost stationary during the greater
part of the day. The Office of the
weather bureau was overwhelmed by
anxious visitors, who called by the
hundreds to learn of the probabilities
of another storm.
The business houses of the city today
sustained almost as much financial loss
from heavy rain storm, which set in
shortly after midnight and lasted twelve
hours, as from the recent disaster.
There is scarcely building in the |
business section of the city which has
'Oof capable of keeping out the rain
Many of them have no roofs at all, and |
Turing the storm of today in which four
inches of rain fell, the water poured |
Town through elevator shafts, leaking
'oots and upon unprotected upper floors,
'uining all manner of merchandise. At |
o O'Clock in the morning one OF the
eading merchants of the city declared
hat unless the rain soon stopped he
would be utterly ruined and compelled
o 90 out of business.

KENoSHA has an ordinance making
it misdemeanor, punishable by fine
or imprisonment, to post bills or 9TH
erwise deface telegraph, telephone or
electric light poles, but the city is
paying mighty little attention to it's
own ordinance, for the notices of the
meeting Of the board of review are
decorating the poles all over the city.
How can the city authorities expect
other people to observe the ordinances
which they violate themselves? This
bad example is going to be followed
by other advertisers, and it would not
be strange if they started in to use the
poles as bill boards, and if they do the
city officials, whose duty it is to en-
force the ordinance, are going to be
put in an awkward position. How
can they get after other people for do
ing things that they do themselves?

with them if caught. No one seemed
to know the man whose horse was
stolen, he being a stranger in town.

man who can act as an interpreter for

ulation. The department will now be
able to get line on a good many
matters that have been hidden from

lice have been convinced many
times that things we're going on right
under their noses that should be
looked into, but they have never been
able to make thorough Investigations
because they were unable to properly
examine foreign born witnesses who
could give evidence only in their own

THE report Of the foreign money
order department of the postodice
shows in part how much Of the money
made here goes out of town. When it
is remembered that the express COM
pany does probably a larger foreign
money order business than the post
Office, we can begin to realize what a
tremendous drain on the resources of
the city is constantly going on. Ke-
nosha is unfortunate in that, owing to
the class of labor employed 10 some of
it's industries, good share of the
wages paid in the city is never spent
here, but sent to foreign lands. If all
the wages paid by our factories were
spent or invested here at home, Keno
sha would be one of the richest cities
in the state in a short time.

Engineer Ross Tells M. O. Com
Tittee Of Plans For Kenosha
Lighting System.
COST OF PLANT IS s35, 600
Committee Directs Milwaukee Engin-
eer to Prepare an Estimate for Pre-
sentation to the City Council on
Monday Evening, July 10th

Street lighting at a cost of $44 a
light IS the promise made to the
municipal ownership committee of the
city council by Engineer Ross of Mil
waukee, who has been employed by
the committee to draw up plans and
specifications for the proposed plant
and present them to the city council
on July 10, Engineer Ross and the
members of the committee held long
meeting at the city hall on We mes
day afternoon and the mem bers K the
committee were enthusiastic over the
figures given them by the engineer.
Ross has now completed his plan
fer the Kenosha plant and it provides
for the installation of a system which
will furnish the city with 400 lights.
It is the plan to operate it in connec-
ton with the Kenosha Water Works,
thus saving a portion of the cost of
putting in a new engine and erecting
new building.
The estimate of the cost of the
plant is $35, 900. This includes the
cost of generators, of putting up the
poles and wires and IN fact all of the
first cost of the plant. The engineer
stated that the plant could be
operated in connection with the water
works at minimum of expense.
He stated that it would be neces-
sary for the city to employ a number
of extra men, but that he believed
that the cost of the operation could be
cut down until Kenosha would have
light at as low a cost as any city in
Wisconsin.
The engineer has been supplied
with maps and p1ats of the city and
on these he will mark out the position
of the different lights before present.
ing the estimate to the city. The
figures on which the cost of light is
based are taken from an estimate
based on four hundred light system
and should the number Of lights be
reduced the cost would be correspond
ing1y cut down.
At the present time the city has but
125 street lamps and with the insta1la-
ton of the new plant it is probable
that the city could get along with. 200
lamps and the cost of installation
would be reduced by the cost of two
hundred lamps which is no small
figure in the grand total.
The committee will probably send
report to the council in favor of the
acceptance of the estimate of the
engineer and after this has been ac-
copied by the council the means for
securing money for the installation of
the plant will be taken up. At the
present time it appears that there is a
clear majority in the council in favor
Of a municipal plant and it is possible
that all of the details will be completed
before the people of the city elect a
new city council.

GET TRACE OF HORSE
Animal Stolen From Nelson Passed
Through Lake Geneva Tuesday

Animal Stolen From Nelson Passed
Through Lake Geneva Tuesday
The search for the horse stolen from
the barn Of Frank Nelson, in this
city week ago, was re-opened today
when the police officers received no.
tice that the horse had passed
through Lake Geneva on Tuesday,
and it is thought that an effort is
being made to get the horse into Chi
cago by some roundabout way. It
seems that the thief has had the ami
NAL in hiding since the day of the
robbery and believing that the officers
had relaxed their vigilance he started
to make Chicago. The police believe
that they will be able to intercept the
man and recover the property.
The fact that the horse was con-
cea1ed for nearly a week within a few
miles of Kenosha seems to indicate
that some Kenosha county people
were in the confidence of the thieves
and aided them in their escape with
the stolen property.

AS KENosHA has an anti-spitting
ordinance before the council, an ac-
count of the experience of another
city with similar measure may be of
interest, The Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin says:
"a little more than three years ago
an ordinance was passed in councils
forbidding people to spit on the pave
ments and imposing penalty for the
ofense. 1t was one of that class of
regulations which are usually hailed
with much enthusiasm by those per-
sons who believe that a reform in
morals or in habits can be brought
about, in the course of the next TWEEN
ty-four hours or so, by some 'Be it
enacted" etc. A reader, however,
invites intention to the fact that the
sidewalks of Chestnut and Market
streets, as we'll as other streets, are
used as freely as ever for deposits of
expectoration, and expresses the opin-
ion that the police should be put to
work in enforcing the ordinance rig
idly. But it might be we'll for him,
however, to stop and consider what
this really means, for the number Of
the offenders who could be caught in
almost any hour of the day or evening
would be enough to fill every station
house in the city. The offense OF
course is sloven1y and dirty one, but
it is to be questioned whether an or
dinance of councils would alone be
sufficient to end it, Five or ten years
of the discussion which forms healthy
general opinion on such subjects will
be required before the police will
have the necessary degree of senti-
ment behind them to keep the or.
dinance in question from becoming a
dead letter."
