Col. Barnsdale, a prominent citizen
of Pittsburg, was travelling through
Indian territory. While strolling
around Muskogee he met an old
colored woman who seemed to be an
interesting character and asked:
"Aunty. how many people are there
in this city," The Iiegress consid-
cred gravely for q few moments and
then said: We'll, boss. ] reckon
there's about $4,000, including the
white folks" Col. Barnsdale says he
thereupon saw a first illustration Of
how much depends upon the view.

Candidate Had No Use for Labor of
Any Kind.

Some years ago when the late Alder
man Robert B. Bancroft, of Cambridge
had received the nomination, it was
thought by the representatives of the
Iaboring men to be duty they owed
to the trades unions to find out how
the candidate sto0d on the labor ques-
ton.
A committee Was appointed and the
interviews took place with more or
less pleasing results. Mr.. Bancroft
received the committee with open
heart and open house. When all the
visitors felt at ease and cigars were
well alight, the spokesman outlined
the purpose of the call, and wished to
know where they would place him, for
or against.
well, gentlemen" said Mr.. Ban
croft, Il thank you for this opportunity
to express my views on this great
question. / have this to say: l don't

Addressing meeting of retail mer-

ernor Folk, of Missouri said:
I'VE are proud Of our splendid

Worsted bv an Owl,

Hiram Heller, of Williar1spart, Pa,
was badly lacerated in battle with
a great horned owl which he wounded
while cunning near Fairfield Center.
He shot at the owl as it flew by him,
but only broke its wing. Not wishing
to distigure the bird, Heller attempted
to kill it with a club. The wounded
owl, which measured nearly four feet
from tip to tip, pounced upon him, and
before he was able to free himself he
was badly wounded.

police are carefully guarding the north

police believe Kemp viii be apprehended

Major Sylvester is having printed
several thousand descriptive circulars
containing Kemp's latest photograph and
an offer OF 500 for the arrest and de-
tention Of the absconding clerk.

affected by the alleged pecUl3 tions OF
his confidential clerk and one OF the
most trustworthy men in the depart
ment. was somewhat relieved TO know
that his men had at last gotten tan

COTTON ADVANCES
IN WILD FURRY
ON THE REPORT

NEW YORK, Aug. 2-There was a
sudden furry in the cotton market fol-
lowing the publication Of the Govern
ment report. Immediately the market
began rising by leaps and bounds and
in a few moments had advanced from
"A to IS points with wild activity on the
part Of the rokers. There was heavy
covering and considerable outside buy
ing.
The excitement continued until nearly
1890, when heavy unloading by some
Of the big bulls finally checked the ad-
vance.
Active options broke from 10 20 Is
points from the top prices of the day
and continued unsteady, fiuctuating
over range OF 8 points.
