Young Man Goes Insane and is Taken to the
 Asylum

"Undoubtedlv insane and dan gerOus to himself and others if left to go at large" was the deci- sion announced by the examining physicians, Doctors Sampson and Bazell, who were summoned by Probate Judge K. C. Smith last Saturday to inquire into the sanity or insanity of Wm. Irwin Porter, the 20 year old son of MT. and Mrs. N. T. Porter, of St. Joseph. The unfortunate young man had manifested symptoms of mental derangement for some months, but the parents, hoping that their son would recover his mental balance, refrained from making the usual application to have him sent to the Territorial Asylum for the Insane until last Friday, when the patient began to exhibit sucb alarming symp- toms of insanity, that, fearing he would do injury to himself or others, his father made applica- tion to the proper officers for his examination and commitment to the asylum at Phoenix.
 On Monday Sheriff Woods, who has the patient in charge, left with him for Phoenix, where he will be placed in the asylum and retained until his reason is

Fred Meyerhoff wears an ex- pansive smile these days and it's all because his younger sister, Miss Jennie, whom he last saw in the Fatherland nine years ago, arrived here from Baltimore last week.

Fred has been anxiouslv await ing her coming, and now that she IS here and has brought with her for him a fine German porce- lain pipe that is nearly as long as he is high, his happiness is all most complete-but not quite, it usually requires some other fel- lows sister.

COttcr < Co.'S Daily Cotton Letter.
 New Orleans, La, Feb. 1S.- There were no developments over Sunday to justify a sudden change, the markets consequently opened dull and indifferent. Trading is al together of a scalping nature and narrow, as many are leading along until March notice day passed.
 The long liquidation and weak ness in futures which followed later l in the day is due to the heaviness in spots, feature which began to l show up last week. Export business has slackened considerably and de- mand for undesirable cotton has not developed as expected in spite of inducements offered. While good colored cotton holds it's own with out difficulty, co1ored cotton is weighing down the market. Re- ceipts, too, continue heavy. New Orleans expects 17,O0O to 10000 ! tomorrow, against 5000 and 1000 the two previous years, and Hous- ton forecast is 16,OOO to 19,O0O against 14,OOO and 5000 the two previous years.
 If export demand does not de- velop soon for this spotted and off, colored cotton, we fear it must find it's way on futures in the shape of tenders, the large grade discounts notwithstanding. That this opinion is rather general is expressed. in the weakness of old crops.
 New crops are rather steady. We are inclined to think a decline in summer options would affect them sympathetically, but interests that are awaiting to buy new crops on any depression are numerous. The experience of last summer and fall is not easily forgotten. New crops then repeatedly advanced above ten cents on adverse crop news. The importance of the coming crop is such as to make a similar price movement likely but in an enhanced degree

most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact
my first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or FIVE minutes and
1t tasted so fiat that l was in despair
but determined to give 1t one more
trial. This time we followed the di-
rections and boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began. 1t was a de
