A FREAK TURN IN THE COTTON MARKET
Quotations Two Higher Than the Future Market
An

Recent heavy demands for spot
cotton throughout the south has been
responsible for a freak turn in the
cotton market, and one which has
not been paralleled in many years.
Spot cotton is two cents per pound
higher than future quotations. AS
a general thing the quotations on
spots and futures coincide, but the
late demand has brought about
something that has not been seen

Just how long the quotations on
spots and futures will be so widely
separated is mere conjecture, but it
is not believed that a slump is a
great way off. In fact, the indica-
lions are that it has already begun,
the market having lost several points
this week.

NATURES CATARRH CURE.
Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure
This Disagreeable Disease.

In no other way can catarrh be
cured as naturally and quickly as
by the use of Hyomei breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit.
In this way all the air that enters
the nasal passages, the throat or
the lungs is filled with Hyomei's
healing medication, reaching the
most remote air cells of the respira-
tory organs, and soothing and heal
ing the irritated mucous membrane.
So strong is Dawson Drug Cos. and
Peoples Drug Stores faith in the
power of Hyomei to cure catarrhal
troubles that with every dollar out
fit they sell they give guarantee
to refund the money unless it cures.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $100; extra bottles, if needed,

Shaw and the Presidency.

Secretary Leslie M. Shaw has been
elected president of the Carnegie Trust
company of New York. When Mr..
Shaw was spoken to anent the effect
his acceptance of this position would
have on his presidential boom, he stat
ed that ga man by taking thought,
may make himself justice of the peace,
but no man in my time by taking
thought has made himself president of
the United States and those who have
given the subject serious consideration
have usually died in disappointment.
Admittedly some of the successful ones
have sought the place, but none were
nominated because he sought it.
"Whatever Shaw presidential senti-
ment now exists has sprung up spon-
taneously and unless it continues to
grow in the same way my name will
not be mentioned in a national conven
ton. Meantime I will not decline APP
propriate tasks nor refuse to do my
share of the worlds work.

BEET GROWING PROFITABLE
Great Help to Farmers, Bring Good
Money.
From Thursdays Daily.

From all appearances the beet SUI
gar industry is destined to become one
of the leading wealth producers in this
state. 1t appears to be the universally
conceded that the manufacture of SUI
gar from beets is profitable to the
manufactures, as well as the beet
grower. The factory in this city con
sumes every year in the neighborhood
of half million dollars worth of SUI
gar beets. 1t also employees some 200
men during the campaign of the manu-
facture of sugar. The wages paid at
our factory for help is more than
could be earned by manual labor else
where. In this way it is benefit to
the farmer, the laboring man, and in
fact, everyone in our city derives some
benefit from this factory. There is
enough sugar used in this state to
keep 10 factories, (such as we have
here) busy. This would mean a mar
ket for from four to five million dol
lars worth of sugar beets, besides the
employment of thousands of men, in
the production of beet sugar. An acre
OF sugar beets will yield from $40 to
S75, this is more than can be expected
from any other crop. Since the fac
tory has been built here, land has gone
up considerable, in fact, in some in
stances $40 to Sl2 rent was paid for
land in this immediate vicinity, used
for the growing of beets.-Chaska Tri-

Progress Of the Negro

1t was stated by Booker Il. Wash
ington at the opening meeting of the
sixteenth annual session of the Tusk.
eegee Merge conference that since the
PRONUNCIATION of the emancipation pro-
clamation the American negroes have
acquired ownership of lands in this
country equal to the combined terri
tory of Holland and Belgium.
The correctness of the assertion is
not to be called in question, says The
New York Commercial. But none the
less the fact will surprise myriads of
white Americans-and more especially
Iandless white men. When race
owns land and has a bank account,
argued the great negro educator, these
possessions indicate that that race has
learned to make sacrifices, that it has
learned to look ahead and plan for the
future.
Yet there are men and women today
-uOG dl VI IueHl dU Iue SOuJll, elUUeI
who insist that negro progress is a
myth, something absolutely non-exis-
tent. "Any black man who is worth
his SALT" continued the president of
this conference, "can build decent
home, can raise a respectable family,
can secure all the work that he wishes,
can educate his children, can have free
dom of religious worship, can secure
and maintain the respect and conf
dence of his neighbors of both races
the race are doing all these things and
And thousands upon thousands of
more today. The deplorable fact is
that a mere handful of criminal and
vicious blacks is made to furnish a
''race problem" in a dozen or more of
: the States of the American Union.
1t is no more genuine problem, how
ever, than is the italian problem
growing out of the existence of few
miserable "black- hand' brutes here in
New York.

LOSES AN ARM
Accident to VIM. Brown in Saw Mill

A disastrous accident befell William
Brown, IA young man aged about TWEEN

mill in Leavenworth at four o'clock Fri

The man whose regular duty 1t was
to take the slab away from the saw
after it was sawed Of was not at his
post of duty when MS services were re
qured and Mr.. Aftermath requested
Brown to hand him the slab. This he
attempted to do, but i'll lifting 1T across
the belt he made miscalculatlon and
he was thrown in the direction of the
bio circle saw. In order to save him.
self from what would undoubtedly be
instant death he threw out his right
arm which came i'll contact with the
saw and it was almost completely sew
cred near the elbow.
Shortly after the serious accident DIR.
Rothenburg was called out, and after

that it would be best to have the young
man removed to st. Johns hospital.
That same night the physicians ampu-
tated the arm at Il point Just above the
elbow and at the present writing the
unfortunate young man is dong as well
as could be expected.
The young man takes his terrible mis-
fortune philosophically and is still firm
in his determination to finish his senior
course in civil engineering. Under such
trying and discouraging circumstances
the Young man is all the more to be
commended for his unilinching determin-
alton to make the best of his present
adverse circumstances.
The story he tells of his past life in

by tackling anything in the nature of
work that would give him the desired
amount of cash necessary to finish his
studies As briefly stated above he
worked on farm several months and
finally took a position in the saw mill
which resulted in crippling him for life.
Under such trying conditions the I'M

Freddie Nelson Still Bat
Ting For Life.
SKIN CRAFTS EFEECT!ON
One Leg Amputated this Morning,
and Skin Used to Cover
Burned Spot.


From Fridav's Daily.
Freddie Nelson, the thirteen year old
boy who was severely burned with
powder Oh the Fourth of July, 1905, and
who has been under treatment ever
since, sustained the amputation of his
right leo this morning Il little way be-
low the hip. The limb has been useless
for some time and the lad realized the
necessity for the operation and was
anxious to have it over.
Innumerable skin grating operations
have been resOrted to, and the CRAFTS
have taken root in some instances and
in some they have not, but the raw
surface has been gradually reduced to a
patch the size of the palm of a mans
hand Skin from the amputated leg was
used today to cover this patch and if it
sticks the lad will soon be able to leave
the hospital where he has been for a
year or more.
The case is a very sad one, but the
boy has shown great patience and for
titude during all of the trying ordeal
His condition is greatly improved as
compared with what it was some
months ago. In fact, he has been slow
" improving, but it is not yet certain
that he will recover. The fact that so
many crafts have failed to stick has
caused the raw surface to be very much
irritated, but the prospects of his ulti-
mate recovery are now much better
than thew have been.
