Ben Whitehead will Show Up
Things.

A week ago a woman with a
little blind boy came to MinOt
and put on pitiful appearance.
She evidently had learned that
Judge Murray was q good
hearted fellow and told him her
tale Of woe. The Judge immed.
lately dipped down into his leans
and gave her q twenty dollar
bill and others in his Office con.
tributed literally towards the
support of the woman and her
little boy. She supposedly
bought a ticket for the east
where she claimed Ue have rela-
tives.
The Williston State now
says that she was not par
ticularly needy, that she
merely WORKER the unsuspecting
Judge, that she has been doing
this all along the line and is
probably somewhere else down
the line doing the same thing.
She lived in a little black shack
at Williston with a man named
Heinbaugh, whom she claimed
was her husband, but in an in
terview Heinbaugh claims that
he was not married to woman at
all. The editor of the State will
take pains to acquaint himself
with the facts concerning the
life OF this woman, sparing no
one.

What most Of US would like to
know isyisMcGaha kicked Fox
III. that republican family quarrel
at Minot, which foot was it?
OF coulse it is q terrible thing to
have Fox kicked aud swLrn at,
and otherwise to have his deep
and. great dignity ruttled, but
their is just a dire possibility
that McGahan didn't know he
was kicking Fox.-Williston

Sells Missionary ship.

Honolulu, Feb. 9.--The Morning
STAR missionary ship bought with
the pennies Of the Sunday school
children throughout the United
States, will be sold at auction today.
While the vessel originally cost $40,-
600 and is in good condition, it is
expected to bring but a fraction of
that sum. For two years the steam-
ship was used by the missionaries
OF tho Microneslan Hands in the
south seas for the purpose Of carry
Ing supplies to the various mission
airy stations and in bringing native
children to the Christian schools.
Owing TO the high price of9coal the
cost Of operating so large vessel
was too great and IL was decided BY
the missionaries to dispose OF II. Ths
ship was we'll known 10 all the ma.
riners Of the Pacific and was pop
ularly dubbed the SKY Pilot"

READY FOR TREES.
Street Commissioner Has Had Park
Prepared for First Planting,
(From Saturdays Daily).

(From Saturdays Daily)
Street Commissioner Warren, with
the city street force, finished plow-
ing the outside strip around the park
this week and the ground is now in
fine condition for the trees. Last
fall the strip was broken UP with a
sod pillow and this time, the big rail-
road pillow with four horses attached
did the work. The plow was set to
run as deep as possible and after
the blowing the ground was thor
oughly pulverized with steel drag
harrow. This strip, extending clear
around the park, twenty-four feet
wide, will be the first to be planted
and will be taken in hand by the
Civic league at the celebration of
the big arbor day next month.
Just what further Improvement in
the work will be begun this year is
not yet determined. The plan of
landscape gardening which the coun-
Gil had drawn up last year by a lead
ing landscape gardener of the state
has been mislead and the city autho-
rites are anxious to recover the
drawings before any extensive i'm
provements have been made. The
plans were given to some of the la
dies or other parties interested in
civic improvement and was passed
about from hand to hand until the
city has lost track Of it. The Off
GERS of the Civic league and the city
officials are making an effort now
to learn the whereabouts of the plans
and will be grateful for any infor-
nation received as to its circulation

COTTON.

New York, March s-The broaden ing demand for cotton has been met today by persistent short selling. This selling is attributed rightly or wrong ly, to those having advance informa- ton of the national ginners report to be issued on Monday or Tuesday, which it is rumored will show more than thirteen million bales ginned up the 2nd of March. I cannot believe that such Is the case, as my OWE investiga- tions indicate a much smaller ginning but even if the crop is substantially in excess of thirteen million bales 1t will not be any too much, when it is taken into consideration that the cotton gin- ned includes possibly from one half million to a million bales of un- spinable cotton.
 The last five reports of the national ginners association have corresponded very closely with the government fig ures, the maximum variation having been a little more than a hundred thousand bales. Spinners taking of American cotton for the week reach the surprising figure of 342, 900 bales against 250, ,00O least ysar.
 IJp to date for the season they show an excess of 1,033,000 bales and only six months of the season have passed If they should continue in the present ratio for the remaining six months a crop of even fourteen millions would mean serious scarcity. 1t is evident that practically all the cotton in eX- istence is required and the resulting exhaustion of the worlds supply prom ises to be the most complete on record.

But offerings became increas- lngly heavy during the early session with Wall street bulls free sellers. presumably owing to the unsettled stock market. There was also some selling of the near months accompany ing the circulation of some additional March notices and prices soon eased pn to a net decline of about 1n4 points This was followed by period of IT. regularity during the middle session, when the bull leader seemed to be sup porting the market on soft spots. but later prices cased of to 9.g9 for May, owing to the continued large receipts tong accounts to materiaiize. The close was within point of the lowest for the session on the active months Southern spot markets wer unchanged to Is cent higher.
