To illustrate Say the capital stock in a giveu county is 500 900. With this amoInt o,0c0 bales can be bought by borrowing on the bale the necessary amount to buy it, less $10. That is. if cotton should be 9 cents per pound the manager gives $45 for the bale. This bale is warehoused and the receipt is hypothecated for loan of $35 on the bale it repre- sents, and by adding $1O of the capital stock another bale can be bought. Thus by placing a bale of cotton and $10 as collateral security 10000 bales can be con- trolled by capital of $10O,O0O.

Shaw, daughter of John Remes, was
accidentally shot by the mother. The
mother was standing in the door and
reached around behind it for twenty
two rifle to kill dog in the yard. In
the other arm she held little baby.
Just as she pulled the trigger the six
year-old child ran in front of the gun
going out of the door and the bullet
passed through the back of the neck,
making a deep wound which bled pro-
fusely. DR.. White went out and
dressed it but was not able to probe
for the bullet at that time. Later he
found that it had simply made a deep
cut in the neck and passed on. He
found that she was paralyzed in the
right arm and her face badly swollen
when he was out on Sunday but he
thinks that she will recover in due
time. She was so close to the gun
that she was powder burned.

craze MANNER
Bassett, Neb., June 15.-Special to
The News: Calf Mccoy, the eleven
year-old boy who murdered his mother
last Friday, told to Judge Hall of the
juvenile court the awful story of his
cold blooded matricide in calm fash
ion and in no way could Attorney
Douglas cause the lad to show any re-
morse for his crime.
The county attorney tried in vain
to strike single sympathetic chord in
the child but there seemed to be no
sentiment In the boy murderer's make
up.
He is no fool, this little slayer of his
mother. In fact he is in way bright
for his age, but in him seems to be the
devil incarnate.
Laughs at Thought Of Dead Mother.
For instance. Mrs. Marsh, wife Of
Sheriff Marsh, having the youthful
murderer in charge, asked the boy to
wash his hands and as he started to
do this she heard him laughing and
asked what caused his merriment.

Every other word from the child's
lips Is an oath. He is surely strange
type of human life. He told his story
to the court with as cool and DELHI
crate an air as you please, and with a
Boosting demeanor. Grown men who
heard the recital of the tragedy from
the little criminals own lips declare
that 1t was the most astounding, the
most outrageous story they had ever
listened to.
Judge Hall pronounced a sentence to
the reform school until the boy is
twenty-one years of age, and 1t is safe
to predict strenuous time in that in
stituion for some time to come.
