pleted this figure should be brought
TO nearly one and one-quarter million.
Practically all OF this bullion is
shipped to Philadelphia through the
United States assay office here, but
has always been done so quietly that
it attracted no attention. An innoya-
ton in this line has just been. started
with the appearance Of armed guards
who escort the bullion between the
assay and express offices and then on
the train.

principal question was the matter Of

Bernard Prentice, cowboy, is dead,
and Dick Moran, cook who recently
came to Deadwood from Kansas City,
will probably die as the result of a

Two women. Bonny Fowler and
Belle Haskell, narrowly escaped being
shot, five shots being fired at them
during the fight. Prentice and Moran
are said to have quarreled about Miss
Fowler, and the duel was the result.
A dozen shots were exchanged. Prem.

AS an evidence of the real growth
of Stanley county in the last three
years, the school record certainly
makes a good showing. When Mrs.
M L. Weed took up the duties of
superintendent of schools OF that
county three years ago she had only
six schools to look after, and the du

Cottcr X Co.'s Daily Cotton Letter

New Orleans, Jan. 3O.-Cotton weakened tlGay on general i 'if- ference. Liverpool was fiat in fn. lures anl snots. Tomorrow b .irs the last of t't9 moatI, heavy i. casts of receipts were expected here and induced scalpers' selling. One contract of January was liguida,cd this morning considerably under yesterdays quotations. This is ab- solutely no criterion for market ten dency or feeling. There are always people wh1 vait until the iast mir ute to do d thing and then have to take the consequences. Any one not wishing to receive on tenders had a chance in the past tive weeks to transfer January into May at a discount.
 Expressions as the mark cts oXneri- enced today, caused by indifference and dullneSs, must be expected ia the next few weeks. Developments concerning the future crops are not apt to excite sufficient interest and

considertiOn until three weeks hence. In the meantime this crop depends on spots and movement statistics for support. In this direction we all know that February usually is dull spot month and we cannot trust too much to the movement. A decline of consequence, however is hardly probable, the necessity far q very full crop next season is too great for anyone to get hold of enough to discount it from the start. On the contrary, everything points to a spring full of possibilities on the bull side.
 The spot market is steady: de- mand fair, ever for lower grades. Futures weakened, nevertheless. ow- ing to the pronounced weakness of New YorK. We should, however bear in mind that New York, owing to it's contract system, is much more independent of spot conditions than the South.
 Our market was unable to with stand the aggressive weakness of New York In spite of all rcason- ing and explanation, people followed New York in this selling movement and March broke as low as $1O.05. Fear of this effect of this break on Liverpool checked support Spots, although in fair demand, could not escape contamination and were easier in the afternoon.

JUST
 HAD TO WATT
E. H. Hartman Told Him That His Salary Went on Just the Same in
 New York as in Chicago.

J. c. Stubbs, who is expected to be one of the important witnesses in the <afnterstate Commerce Commission $ investigation into the Hartman lines, is traffic director of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific, and is ac- counted one of the most prominent railroad men ill Chicago. MT. Harri- man, it is known, relies upon his judgment in traffic matters almost im- plicitly. Mr. Stubbs arrived in New York from Chicago one morning not long ago and had planned, after transaction of business with his chief. to return on an afternoon train. But MT. Hartman was busy and kept the traffic director waiting and fidgeting about the outer office. Eventually. train time approaching, he sent in to MT. Hartman to request an immedi- ate interview. The response was int mediate, Mr. Hartman throwing open the door and shouting at the top of his voice:
 "Sit down, Stubbs, and wait till get ready to see you. Your salary goes on just the same whether you're . if Chicago or New York"
 MT. Stubbs went back and sat down and did not appear at all discon- certed.
 "He probably knows,' said the mar who told the story, "that more proni- nent men than he in the financial world have accustomed themselves to just such treatment"

At Waterman Home.

Few, if any, dances of the pres ent year have been more delightful than the one given last night at the home of Mrs. Gus Waterman on West Fifth avenue, complimentary to the members of the Young Ladies Auxiliary. The hostesses for the oc- casion were Mesdames Gus Water man, William Rosenzweig and Sid ney c. Veil.
 The spacious Waterman home, so we'll arranged for entertaining pur- poses, was thrown open to the young people and hospitality of most charming nature was accorded them. The dance was in the nature of a German, directed by Meyer Solmson and lady, Miss Juliet Mehlinger. Miles orchestra furnished the music for the evening. The decorations were dainty and tastefully ar ranged. The dancing was enjoyed in the handsome double parlors of the home. Delicious refreshments l were served.
 Mrs. Waterman was assisted in receiving by her daughters, Misses Jessie and Dora Waterman, Mrs. M. Sonnenschein, Mrs. H. B. Solmson. Miss Rose Sossenschein, Miss Ethel Schloss and Miss Roella Solmson.
 The dance was the first of series to be rendered the young people by the ladies of the Jewish Temple. Rabbi Frisch, one of the honored guests of the evening, made brief address on Good Fellowship that was heartily enjoyed and brought him applause. The Young Ladies Auxiliary held a meeting at one of the dance intermissions and elected Miss Ida Dreyfus president and Miss Edna Strauss secretary-treasurer.

LOW SALARIES
 IN OLD DAYS
Expert on Pay Rolls Digs Up Some Facts and Figures That Make You Sit and Wonder Over the
 Change.

Columbus" said an antiquary of Chicago, "got a salary of $320 year tains got $1S0 a year apiece. His crew got $2.25 a month. To equip the eX- pedition that discovered America cost $2,S0O. The total cost of discovering America was $7,2O0.
 Lawyers nowadays, especially cor poration lawyers, think nothing of earning a million a year. In the reign of Edward w baronet entered in his diurnal or diary:
 "'Paid to Roger Fylpott, learned in the law, for his counsel, 3 shilllngs, with pence for his dinner"
 Ministers often make today $2O,O0O or $3O,000 a year. The late Dr. Tal- mage made $6O,OO0. Yet John Knox got only $220 a year, or $4 week and that was a dollar more week than Scottish judges got.
 Small salaries those," concluded the antiquary, "but we must remem- Der that in that epoch there were no trusts to inflate prices, and dollar went long way. In fact, Christ mas dinner for family of six would have cost in John Knox's time-foI the turkey, 10 cents; cranberry sauce, 2 cents; potatoes, 1 cent; tur- nips, cent; celery, cent; plum pud- ding, two cents-total IF cents, or less than cents head"

NEW WATER MAIN.

The laying Of a new water main
from the springs to the city will be an
event OF great Importance to the city
OF Laramie. We have water that is as
nearly pure as need be and a sufic
iency for a town twice the size Of Lar
annie. The only trouble We have had
has been In the distribution of the
supply. Laterals are nearly all too
small at the present time, but there Is
n willing disposition on the part OF our
people to remedy this evil. Hence
forth all ~laterals will be ample in size
for both domestic use and fire pur-
poses.
When we read of the trouble and an
noyance other towns OF the state are
being subjected to because of made
Quate water supply. it is n source of
great satisfaction TO think that the
Laramie system is good now, with pos
tive assurance of great Improvement
in the near future. 1t is also a source
of great satisfaction to know that the
relations existing between the com
pany and the people of Laramie are
entirely amicable. There is water for
all-the only requirement being the
exercise of good judgment in the ex-
tension OF our distribution system.

And took all the rest. Then he traf-

Until every lad in the place was lassed!

Japan's Naval Proore.s

An event which cannot be overesti-
mated, occurred in Japan a short time
ago, and that was the launching of a
new warship which 1t is claimed is
superior to the British warship Dread
naught. Hitherto Japan has bought
her best vessels abroad and the build
ing Of this monster proves co%nclusively
the wonderful progress and advance
ment In the Japanese navy. The won,
derful record of cures made by the eel
ebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
during the past SO years proves con-
cluslvely that it is a medicine Of SUI
perior value, and the best OF its class
for curing ailments Of the stomach,
liver, kidneys or bowels. Every sick
man or woman should therefore re-
solve to try it at once. 1t always cures
dyspepsia, indigestion, co~stiveness,
biliousness, headache, sleeplessness,
female Ill or malarial fever. Don't ex-
pertinent any longer when you know
the Bitters will cure you.
