HON. s. B. HERMAN
IS WELL AGAIN
Noted Oregon Statesman Restored TO Health on
Recent Eastern Trip

Hon. Shiller B. Herman, distin-
guished statesman and legislator of
Portland, Oregon, who was recently
on an eastern trip, is among those
strongly in favor of L. T. Cooper, in
the discussion over Cooper and his
medicines, which has ragged for the
past year in cities visited by the
young man on his educatiye cam
paign as he calls them.
Cooper was explaining his new the
cries and medicines to Boston people
during the Oregonians visit to that
city, and in a recent interview Mr.
Herman said: My trip east accom-
plished more for me than ! ever be-
lieved possible. 1t has actually been
the means of restoring my health.
While in Boston / heard great deal
about this man Cooper and his medi-
cines, and one morning / talked with
a Boston banker who told me that he
had been relieved by Cooper's medi-
cines after ten years chronic dyspep-
STA. For the past twenty years / have
been fearful sufferer with nervous

24SOO
CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Inertia was
the rule abroad today. The foreigner
absolutely refused to bulge even
after the sensational figures from
Washington were posted. The amount
of cotton ginned to November 18th
shows only 100000 bales, which
must be compared with $4,000 last
year. While history repeats itself in
everything except the course of the
cotton market, a comparison here is
we'll in order. There was never yet
100000 bales ginned after November
IA, and today's figures would appar-
emily confirm low crop estimates
with which the trade has been flood
ed during the past few days. A crop
of only 12,000,000 would not meet
consumptive requirements, and
slow battle to finish between the
planter and spinner is now on. 1t
is pretty well certain the South will
now come to the support of its great
staple, and the short side from now
on must be touched with a very eau
tious hand. 1t begins to look as If
cotton had seen the low point on this
crop.

COTTON SHOT UPWARD
ON THE GINNERS'
Excellent Demand for Spots
on Basis 10 IS Gents.

The cotton markets almost forgot
that they were walking on the
crutches of a lame financial market
Yesterday and prices hit merry clip.
1t was ali started by the ginners' re-
port giving the amount up to Nov. IA
as 1911 900 bales. A Memphis asso
citation followed with an estimate of
7,354000 bales. The Government fig
ures were given out at the opening
and prices only made a moderate res
ponse, but bearish arguments began
to pale when the figures indicated
crop of about 12,500,000 bales, or
possibly less. The takings of spin
ners, unless something unforeseen
happens to trade conditions to cut
down consumption very materially,
will call for more than this amount of
American cotton. A crop larger by
a million bales last year was not
more than sufficient to supply the
needs of the spindles With new
spindles being put to work every
month, the prospect on its face is of
a very bullish character, so far as
higher prices are concerned. If the
farmer can maintain a firm attitude
until the mills are forced to buy, all
will be we'll, it is believed.
The New York market opened to
points UP and after a slight reac-
ton prices took a sharp turn up
ward, travelling by jumps for a time.
December closed close to the highest
but later positions sustained heavy
losses in the last hour on the weight
of selling. The bear leader was still
vociferously shouting for lower prices.
The close was at net advance for
the day of 20 to 80 points. Spot
prices were unchanged. New Orleans
opened to 7 points higher but show
ed some weakness. Later the market
firmed up and prices made a gain of
nearly quarter of a cent over the
first. The close was considerably be-
low the best, but still 20 to SO points
above the close for Wednesday. Spot
quotations were advanced is cent.
Liverpool was due lower, but
opened steady 1 to 5 points up.
The close was quiet at recessions eX-
cept for the near positions, which
ruled 1-2 points above the close for
the previous day. Other positions
were 10 to points higher Spots
We're marked up 7 points, with sales
of 5000 bales.
In the Americas spot market an ex-
cellent demand prevailed throughout
the day. Sales were about 200 bales,
of which the great bulk sold on the
basis of 10 5-S cents for good mid
ding. The sales were only limited by
the offerings. Some factors had cot
ton for sale at II cents, with very
little with limit below that figure.
The quotations are advanced is of a
cent Receipts for the day by wagon
were 27 bales, the very inclement
weather cutting down the figures.

FORCE OF IMAGINATION.
Story of an Odd Incident In a Dental
 Hospital.

Hospital.
 A remarkable incident happened re- gently at dental hospital. A young woman went there to have five teeth extracted. The anaesthetic decided upon by the dental surgeon was ethyl chloride, and this was administered by the usual form of apparatus. An in- dia rubber cap is placed over the pa tient's mouth and nostrils, and con nected with 1t is bag into which a sealed capsule of ethyl chloride Is in- troduced. By the turning of screw from the outside the capsule Is broken and the anaesthetic liberated. The screw was turned, the patient went off gradually into the usual condition of insensibility, five teeth were extracted, and the patient awakened without feel, ing any part of the operation.
 The whole case appeared perfectly normal. Only when the young wo- man had left the room and the ap, paratus was being made ready for another patient was it discovered that the capsule of ethyl chloride had by some mischance not been broken at all. The whole condition of insensibility had been brought about by the self hypnotism of the patient The idea that an anaesthetic was being admin lstered was so strong fin her mind that she had passed into insensibility en- tirely by hypnotic suggestion.-Boston Traveller.

THE KonGo FOREST.
Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt This
 RSJion of Mystery.

Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt This
 RSyion of Mystery.
 The mightiest forest of which the human race has any knowledge today is that of the Kongo. It is a region of impenetrable mystery concerning which accounts have been so strange that until the past few years they have been deemed incredible. But re- cent discovery has transformed scien- tiic incredulity into measure of be- lief. Thus on the basis of Sir Harry Johnston's explorations of Uganda a giant ape larger than the gorilla is a denizen of this tremendous forest re- zion. There, too, are animals of a quite unfamiliar kind, notably the okapi. The forest seems to be the re- sort of the five horned giraffe, the tallest mammal in the world. The hugest elephants, bearing tremendous tusks, are there. The largest fish found in all Africa haunt the streams meandering through the recesses of this forest. Lions seem not to pene- trate into the thick growth Of the jun gle thereaboIts. The forest leopards are arboreal, catching monkeys for their food.
 The curiosity-of the mighty forest is ynquestionably the okapi, large and seemingly new mammal, discovered by SIT Harry Johnston. In his books of travel Stanley told of an animal of ass-like appearance existing in the dense forest which was caught in pits. Nhe occurrence of anything like quadruped of the equine sort in the thickness of an impenetrable forest seemed so anomalous that no scientist of standing would credit the possibil- ity; hence the determination of Sir Harry Johnston to investigate.-Cur- rent Literature.

EMINENT ITALIAN ACTOR.

Emerte Novelli, the eminent Ital- ian actor, will play an engagement at Polls on Friday evening, Decem- Der 27, in one of his best roles. Man ager Parsons has been negotiating for some time to secure Novelli. There is big demand on the part of local Italians to see him. Novelli has brought to this country the larg- est repertoire of plays of any for eign artist. He is now playing an engagement in New York and will return to his native land with his big company early in the new year. Waterbury is one of the few cities outside of New York that will see Novelli. Some of his favorite roles are Papa Labbanar," Louis XII," "Shylock," "Othello" and scores of others. The great Italian has mas tered more roles than any other actor playing to-day and his characterize tions vary from the broad farce to heavy tragedy.

Attention is called to the fact that were the practice of wearing feathers to be abandoned to- morrow 30,000 girls would be at once thrown out of employment in Paris alone.

ISIS IN NEW YORK;"

Instead of situations that tax the credulity or common sense of the spectator, Sis in New York" is a play that appeals to all classes of so- ciety.. Its scenes are laid in Indiana and in New York city, and the story, while simple and unpretentious, tells itself with directness and cleverness. It is distinguished by singular charm of manner and wonderful character drawing. The quaint sayings of Sis and John Henry lures one back to every gentle memory of the past. It will be seen at Polls on Tuesday, matinee and night. Popu- lar prices.
