second floor has been placed the
carpet and rug department on the
north side, while on the south side
a large room has been fitted up with
toilet and a rest room for lady Gus
toners, which has already been
found to be a great convenience.
BY doubling up his store room
Mr.. Butterfield now has 10000
square feet of floor space in which
to accommodate his growing trade.
His place can appropriately termed
a modern dry goods store, for in his
various lines he has added about
everything that the large dry goods
houses in the east carry. In handl-
ing such a stock of goods Mr.. But
terrified employs twelve clerks, who
are awake and active to the business
interests of the store and they keep
of the city.
With the completion of the in

plant Mr.. Butterfeld will have as
fine a store as there is in the state.
This successful merchant is a lib
eral user of printers ink anu adj
vertises largely and consistently in
many of the surrounding papers. He
believes in letting the people know
what he has got to sell on his shell
YES and thus gets them into his
store. The Republican wishes to con-
graduate Mr.. Butterfeld on the c
cess that he has attained in this
city, which is the result of careful
business management and judicious
buying.

BIBLICAL FIND
NOT IMPORTANT

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-(Special@-
Students of the Bible in this city
were much interested in the accounts
OF the discovery OF a new fragment
OF the Gospel according to st. Mark.
The stories told how Charles Il. F'reer
OF Detroit had come into possession
OF a fragment of an old manuscript
OF the Bible supposed to have been
written before the Moslem conquest
OF Egypt in the seventh century.
The manuscript contained some
sentences spoken by Christ to His
Disciples in room in-Jerusalem up
on his temperance to them follow
ing the death upon the cross. The
fragment, was put in the Gospel of St
Marx Immediately following the four
teenth verse OF the sixteenth chap
ter.
The Rev. DR.. William Hayes Ward
editor of the Independent, said:
From literary point of view the
discovery is very interesting indeed
But from any other standpoint the
matter is not important The con-
clusion of st. Mark. that is, verses 8
to 20, sixteenth chapter, were not
written, in the opinion of authorities
by Mark. Some time ago manus-
cript was found which ascribed the
authorship of this ending to Aristion
The new verse is apparently a part
of Aristion-that is to say, a portion
of that work which is not admitted tc
st. Mark. There are. two endings to
the Gospel of st. Mark, but the best
authority discards them both, making
of this Gospel fragment, in a sense. .

PEASANTS MAY
SEIZE THE LANDS

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-(SpeciaD =
Declared from the third Douma,
the Russian moujiks are on the sur
face quiet" said A. P. Cherbak, the
founder of the Peasants League,
yesterday. But it is only on the
surface Some day they will rise
and quietly appropriate the land
they need. They have nothing to do
with the Terrorists. They are too
ignorant to know anything of bombs,
but they want land, and they have
lost all faith in the Gar, the Little
Father"
M. Cherbak arrived in this city on
Sunday on the ST. Louis. His part
in the Russian revolution has dealt
altogether with the economic situa-
ton.
The cry of the moujik according
to Mr. Cherbak is Liberty and Land,
He wants liberty of the person, of
the press, of assembly, and of reli-
gion, but he wants land even yet
more When the serfs were enfran-
chised forty years ago, to each COM
mune was given enough land to allow
each man about seven acres. The
population has increased and now
in some districts there is not more
than two or three acres head
1t is impossible to live upon such
small portions, and the moujiks are
starving.
For the moment agrarian agitation
IN Russia seems dead, but sooner or
later, according to Mr.. Cherbak, a
leader will again appear. The mou-
jiks will rise quietly. They will reap
the harveStS of the landlords and
occupy their land. Nothing will be
able to stop them, and it will be a
peaceful revolution. They will rec
ompense the land owners, but the
moujiks will keep the land

SMALL RECOVERY
IN COTTON VALUES
In Local Spot Market Con
ditiOns Unchanged.

Cotton made a small recovery from
the sharp break at New York on
Thursday. New Orleans, having been
closed on that day, showed consid-
cradle losses from Tuesdays figures,
the decline being about equal to the
net loss for New York for yesterday
and the day before. Liverpool was
a little lower than due After the
opening of the American markets
prices wavered. being at times lit
tie below the first figures and again
little higher. During the morning
the selling was conspicuous, due to
a bearish guess at the ginners' re-
port to be issued on Jan. g.
The New York market opened high
er for May, but to 8 points down
for other active positions An adyanc-
ing tendency was shown in the early
part of the session, but the market
soon eased off, Towards the close
the market grew firmer, the final be-
ing at the best, A to 8 points net
higher for all except July, which
refused to climb above the figures
for the first call and closed 5 points
down. Spot prices were unchanged.
New Orleans opened "a to 40 points
lower than the final for Tuesday
that market having been closed
since that date. This was more than
full response to the weakness of
New York on Thursday Prices later
rallied in all positions, the close be-
ing steady II to 19 points below the
close for Tuesday Spot quotations
were unchanged.
Liverpool opened to points
below the close for Tuesday, and
showed a little further loss at the
2 O'Clock call. But when the close
came prices has slumped until they
were II to Il points below the prey
ious close, the tone being called
steady. Spot prices were reduced 5
points with sales of 5000 bales.
The estimate at all ports for today
is $4,000 bales against 50,675 for the
same date last year. OF this, Hous-
ton is expected to get 10000 to 1880
bales, and Galveston $4,000 to H.
600.
Little activity was manifested in
the local spot market yesterday, sales
being less than 30 bales. Prices were
around a basis of II cents for good
middling, though the majority of the
sales were of the lower grades, which
brought s cents up. The demand for
the better grades was excellent but
the offerings were light Quotations
are unchanged. The receipts for the
day were SO bales

INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS FOR 1908

BERLIN, Jan 3.-The "LokaI An
zieger" publishes a series of inter
views with the Ambassors in Berlin
of the United States, Great Britain
Russia, France, Spain, Austria-Hun-
quarry and Turkey and the ministers
representing most of the other nations
of the world relative to the condition
of international relations at the be-
ginning of the year 1908. Charlemagne
Tower the American Ambassador
said:
1T gives me great satisfaction to
be able to declare that the long-stand-
ing good relations between the United
States and Germany have become
closer, if possible, during the past
year, as a result of the efforts made
by both Governments. The exchange
of German and American professors,
and outcome of the genial idea con-
ceived by Emperor William, has had
a stimulating and fruitful effect in
the spheres of culture and science,
and has brought the learned men
and students of Germany and the
United States into closer touch.7
The other diplomats, whose views
are quoted, all entertain the most sat
isfactory opinion concerning the
outlook for the coming year.
