 Months Showed consd.
 erahle Decline.

New York, November 27.-The cotton market was very irregular during to- days trading with the big advance in No- vember, the sensational feature. The close was 45 points net higher on No vember, and Il to II points lower on the later months Sales for the day were es- timated at 35O,OO0 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 12 points, and right after the call became rather excited owing to covering by belated November shorts. It seemed that only a few lots were want ed, but one broker bought 1900 bales at 11.70, or about 90 points over the closing figures of the previous day, and at q new high level for the season. Following this November sold once at 1.25 and closed at 11.25 bid. or at a premium of @ full cent over December.
 The rest of the list sympathlzed very slightly with the strength of November, and after working up to 10.59 for January and 10.79 for March, or about 10 points net higher, eased off under realizing of of important support in spite of the bull- ish spot news from the south.
 The close was within 2 to points of the lowest on the active months. The weather in the southwest was a little un- settled, but hardly a factor, and atten- ton was again chiefly directed to the spot situation.
 Receipts at the ports, 796O9 bales, against 1O4197 last week, and Sl.S51 last year.
 For the week. estimated, 10000 bales, against 43,O99 last week and 325,s55 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans. 17,Si6, against 20,5O3 last year, and at Houston 34,1iS, against 2l, ,60l last year.

CLINE JACKSON
IHEADEDF0R WESTON

Cline Jackson, who was arrested a
few days ago on complaint of his
family who wanted him examined
as to his sanity, was given sort of a
hearing before Squire Harry Gordon
Friday afternoon. Cline, who was
in the asylum once before. is dope
fiend and very vicious. When Con-
stable Coffman started back to the
county aiil with him, Jackson at
tempted to strike his father, who was
present, but was prevented from so
doing by the Squire and Cofrman.
He then threatened to clean out the
office and had to be subdued by Coff-
man. One or two witnesses remain
TO be examined, but judging from
his present condition and the gen
leral visiousness of his nature, he will
have to be sent to Weston. His
father thinks that if he is allowed
his liberty he will sooner or later
kill some one.

CROOK WAS
KNOWN HERE

Frank B. Waring Is under ar
rest in Parkersburg on various
charges that will surely give him a
"Trip to Moundsyille. He was in
Clarksburg something more than a
week ago and was known to be
crooked, The police here were
watching his every movement and
had tangible evidence been procur-
liable he would never have been allow
ed TO leave the city.
He imposed.on several persons in
this city, includingJ. II. Mechling,
manager Of the local Oil Well Sup
ply company's branch. He. was
fiend for newspaper notoriety, CON
tinually bothcTfng newspaper men to
mention his doings. In Parkers-
burg his first acts were to present
two worthless checks, one signed by
a firm supposed to be doing business
in Clarksburg, the Penn Oil Com
pany, but investigation revealed the
fact that this firm never existed.
Tie other check was ON Mallory
Brothers, the Well known Parkers-
burg contractors. and this was PROV
en- to be rank forgery. He was
not arrested on either of these
charges, however. but for swiping a
bolt Of ribbon from a store. While
incarcerated in jail he attempted to
saw his way out and as the store peo-
pie did not prosecute him for their
he was sentenced to Twenty-Five days
in jail in order that other towns NAV
be heard from regarding his trans
actions. 1t may be that other
.Clarksburgers were imposed upon
by this man and if this IS the case
he win likely be held for the grand
Jury. While here he represented
himslf to be the agent for lubri-
eating oil.

ALARMED ABOUT
Los ANGELES

There is considerable apprehen-
sion felt by several Clarksburgers
concerning Los Angeles, Cal, where
several earthquake shocks have been
felt. This apprehension comes es-
pecially from those having relatives
there. Mrs. Harry Wilson and
Messrs. John B. and Charles NJ.
Hart have sister there, as has also
B. F. Wilson. The local Oil Well
Supply house is also uneasy as the
company has a branch house there,
with men in charge, who are ac-
quainted with the men in charge
here. Reports 50 far indicate there
has been no serious damage in Los
Angeles.
