THE COTTON MARKET
APATHY CONTINUES CHARACTER-
 TsTIC OF SPOT MARKET.
With No Demand for the Stun DuIlness Domfnafes Local Prices Which Are Marked Nominaliy the
 Same.

A Montgomery cottoner had 1t on the tip of his tongue to say yesterday, when Inquiry was made abQnt the cotton market, that tn ere was no such a thing in the world. He canght him. self in time to prevent the blasphemy from escaping his lips. however, and proceeded to say nothing In a few choice and chaste words. When he had finished 1t was learned that yester- day was as much like other days as of two peas in a poland the simflari- of two peas in pod has long been regarded as proverbial.
 The prices, altogether nominal like the alleged contingent expenses put down in school catalogues. were called 10 1e-1e cents for middIing II cents Tor strict.
 The cotton crop is regarded as doing well. Tn a few spots the plant has sui feTed somewhat for lack of rain but In most places 1t has thriven, The ex- 4remely high temperatures are believed not to have greatly damaged the crop.

FOR PIMPLES, TOO.
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Trou-
bIes Over Night.

A few months ago the dispensers of
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
of eczema. decided TO allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Pre-
ViOus to that time il could only be OBJ
tanned direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of anything
introduced to the drug trade in the last
thirty years. All leading druggists. in
Guiding the F. ]. Hill Drug co. in Salt
Lake City, are now carrying the spe-
cial 50-cent size recently adopted, also
the 81 jar.
This great success is not surprising
when il is remembered that, in eczema
cases. poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal i'm
mediately. and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples, blackheads, acne.
herpes. blOtches. rash, etc. results
show after an overnight application.
Experimental samples of poslam are
sent TO anyone by mail free of charge.

MONEY CAUSE OF TRAGEDY
0rinicE of Rachael Blake. Who
Was Engaged TO Marry the
Elder Sterry.

New York, May 2O.-Miss Rachael
Blaikie. the young woman whose en-
gagement 10 marry George f. Sterry
was one of the causes of yesterdays
double tragedy when George Z. Sterry.
jr., shot and killed his aged millionaire
father and then committed suicide, is
seriously i'll at her home in East Or
ange, n. J., today.
Money was the cause OF this whole
terrible affair more than anything
else" she said, after the news of the
tragedy had been taken to her.
II suppose George feared that I
would receive some of his fathe~' $
money, but l want to say that / wouii
rather George had every penny of his
fathers money than to have either of
them harmed. l wish | could have told
him before il was too late that il was
because of the money l had been an
willing TO marry his father"
Mrs. George Sterry, jr. is also in a
condition of violent hysteria.
