Terrible snowslide Experience.

Denver.-A Crested Butte dis
patch says: Escaping one snowslide
to be caught in another which buried
him and swept his four horses to their
death in the gulch. Andrew Mosher
was rescued from death by his dog,
only to be caught by third slide and
buried second time several feet deep
under the white terror of the noun
tains and was again dug out by his
faithful dog.
Mosher and w. F. Stockman start
ed from Gothic with supplies for the
Mountain King mine, six miles distant
They had gone four miles when the
first slide swept over the trail SO close
that they were showered with white
spray and fragments of debris which
swirled under the cliff that protected
them. Stockman turned back but Mo-
sher continued toward the mine and
was caught by the other two slides. He
was severely injured, but managed to
reach the mine.
Stockman was found frozen nearly
to death and injured by his battle with
the elements. Both men were out
three nights. and their escape from
death is considered most remarkable.

MORE CHICAGO MEN TO VISIT
 CITY TO CEMENT FRIENDSHIP

Again a representative body of bus mess men from Chicago will visit Montgomery with a view to strength ening the bonds of business between the two cities. The following letter re- ceived by Secretary G. c. Dave. of the Commercial Club, is self-explanatory. MT. G. G. Dave Secretary Commercial
 Club, Montgomery, Ala. Dear Sir:-
 For some years the Chicago Associa- ton of Commerce has sent out occa- sIonaIly visiting delegations of its most prominent citizens and members to those sections, of the country sono- what remote from Chicago. to encour- age closer social relations between tho two sections.
 This delegation that will visit your city is In no sense either a party solic' iting business nor salesmen in search of orders It is emphatically body of solid business and professional men, whose principal mission is to convey the kindly greetings of Chicago to you as your neighbors of the South and thus strengthen the ties that should bind us together as citizens of com mon country.
 We want to know you and have you know us, not as merchants and manu- facturers, but as men and associates, feeling that you are agreed with us that the interchanBe or conmoultiSS ID more strongly influenced by social re- Iations than by mercenary motives and that there is greater incentive to busi- ness in warm grasp of the hand than in any other association.
 Simply let us know how we can serve you, and We will snow you how you can serve us, so that the advantages may be entirely mutual.
 We leave Chicago November 8 and will arrive in Montgomery Novem- Der 19.
 We request that you will not incur expense by elaborate or formal enter tainment. This neighborly visit we shall be most happy to have you re- turn at your convenience, when 1t will tesies you may extend to us as your unbidden guest
 Very truly yours,
 Walter D. Moody.

NIGHT SCHOOL PLANS
CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL FOR AD-
 VANCED GLASSES.
Teachers Not To Be Appointed Until Full List of Applicants Is Ob- tained-Sessions Five Hours
 q Week, ..

It has been decided by the Board of Education to use the Central High School on Lawrence Street for the night school, which will be used by the division in advanced studies, and the West End School for primary class. The whole plan of action of the pro- motors of the night school is working out beautifully, as the schools are be- ing extensively advertised and already a number of applications for enroll ment have been received by members of the committee.
 Not until the Executive Committee has a working Knowledge of the num- Der of pupils who will attend will they be able to appoint teachers but 1t is thought that the work will be offered members of the teaching stan of the city before the idea of appointing ad- dltional teachers Is taken up. The hours will be very short at the night schools, five nights week and each session shorter than two hours, being planned. It is believed that many of the local teachers will be glad of the opportunity thus offered in a great work, to say nothing of the financial feature.
 Applicants wishing to enroll are to send in their names and addresses to Professor Floyd at the Central High School before November 15, but those who apply later will also receive ac- commodatlon.
 In the meantime educated foreign CTS in the city will be interviewed with a view to explaining the situation and purpose of the work to their country men, and in this manner reach larger percentage of the foreign population.

EARLY CROP HAS HURT
 CHANCES OF IRE FARMERS
In Their Cotton Letter, We'll Brothers Draw Attention to the EGeef of
 Early Marketing.

The regular crop letter of Well Brothers Is as follows:
 An apparent early crop, universal tember, with most excellent weather for both picking and maturing. can do but one thing. viz, increase the pros pective crop in quantity and be inimi- cal to the production of high grade spinning quality. This is what has sub stantially happened in the Atlantic States, Alabama and Mississippi; and though there was very small quan- tity of top crop promised at the time. the fact that the bottom and middle crop Is all being saved and picked and housed in such excellent state, in it. self argues well for an increase of the yield as compared with the expecta- tions of the first of October. and un- questionably some little top crop has developed.
 The price paid for cotton in the South during the first two months of the cotton season has ranged between 8 1-2 and 1-4 cents. The average price Is possibly l3-16. At this time a year ago. we were just beginning to get a great many low grades, and while the higher grades sold at all the way from 10 to 12c during the first four months of the season, there were great many low grades which sold from 1-2 to 1-2 cents. It Is there fore very fortunate that the low grades do not exist this season. If they did. our farming interests would have to sell them at from to 1-2 cents. This in connection with comparatively low prices for the high grades would be ex- ceedingly disastrous to the aRricultur- al South As 1t is with the high cost of production of the present crop. our farmers are not earning any money this season. On the contrary, some of them may be losing on the years transaction unless the market price of cotton should materially improve.
 The holding system resorted to du- ring recent years and mentioned in our letter of a fortnight ago, as being again In evidence, is now a permanent status. The marketing is done slowly, conservativeiy, hardly ever on declines. and only moderately on advances. Therefore, so far as distressed cotton Is concerned for the remainder of the season, or forced sales, we need not count on them. Therefore, In spite of the indifferent and intermittent de- mand from Europe as well as America | with a great many eager sellers, on the part of cotton buyers of the South who l either bought cotton and hedged or sold cotton and hedged. there was at no time, more cotton for sale than could be well taken care of, finding, as it were. a ready lodging place. In the meantime. the majority of the mills have not stocked up, as they generally | do, at the prevailing prices, for the reason that trade conditions did not warrant such procedure. We are ad- vised. however. from all sections that not only is the trade improving slow ly but surely, but also that the cotton
 
 profit, and that the demand has been and Is now on the increase

Rankin declared that the people in the section of the State in which the tragedy occurred were very ignorant, and their customs most primi- tive.

Dr. Rankin drove from the scene of the crime to Trenton with Mir.
