THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following Is the record Of develop
ments in the speculative market yes
terday as summarized in an AsSOciat-
ed Press dispatch of last night from
New York:
After a somewhat early nervous ses-
sion the cotton market became very
firm and made another set of new high
records, with the close very steady at
a net advance Of to Is points. Sales
for the day were estimated at 350,000
bales.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance Of TO 7 points on overnight
buying orders and steady cables, but
eased off right afterward to about the
closing prices of last night under real
izing and selling for turn based on
the theory that buyers on the National
Ginners' report of yesterday would not
carry their cotton over the census re-
port expected at the opening on Sat
urday morning But at the decline Of
ferngs were very well absorbed, some
well known spot interests were ag-
gresSive buyers particularly Of OctO-
her, and the market developed a stead
ier tone, which turned into a sharp
advance as soon as early sellers tried
to get back some Of their cotton.
January contracts sold up to 9.72,
March TO go and October to 9.42, or
II to 90 points net higher. The close
was a few points off from the top un-

AN interesting bill by Senator Sui
livan is one that provides for the ere
alton of the office of county attorney,
and the election Of that official by the
county board of commissioners. The
salary is to be not more than $1,000 a
year in the large counties and not less
than $500 in the smaller counties.
The county attorney is to do all the
work that is now being done by the
attorney for the county board of COM
missioners, and in addition give all
necessary assistance to the grand
jury, solicitor, coroner and other coun-
ty officials Most of the county boards
of commissioners throughout the
state have attorneys, selected by
themselves at salaries ranging from
500 up; but ordinarily they are not
required to give assistance to other
officials.

FOLLOWING the acquittal of Thorn
ton Jenkins Hains as an accessory to
his brother, Captain Peter Hains. who
shot VIM. Annis to death, in August
last, at Bayside, l.. l., last week, the
New York Sun asked the question,
What constitutes murder under the
law of the state of New York;" One
correspondent replies as follows: "Ob-
viously, murder is a premeditated as
sassination committed by person
without money or female relations.
Could not a considerable economy be
effected by issuing an interstate license
to murder unarmed men," Another
correspondent says: meanwhile there
is a discussion of capital punishment
for the crime of murder-as if capital
punishment had really ever been tried
in this country. We have only the
good old rule and simple plan, that he
may shoot who has the gun, and he
may dodge who can

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Where does all this liquor come
FROM" inquired a Southern railway
conductor at the depot a few nights
ago Of a representative Of The Enqui-
rer, as he noticed the expressman
handling several packages of liquor.

ga, Richmond and Baltimore"
We'll, 1 am glad to know that they
are getting the base of supplies a lit
tie further away from us" continued
the conductor. 1T does make 1t lit
tie more incOnvenient and makes the
expense a little greater for the man
who buys the stuff"
Yes, that Is quite correct"
81 see that Tennessee has gone dry,
and that will help some, and / guess
the Prohibitionists will make a fight In
Virginia. l hope the day will soon
come when the whole business will be
stopped for good and ALL"
Continuing the railroad man said:
THE prohibition law has made a vast
difference in North Carolina. When
liquor was sold at Marion, the run out
of that town on No. Sc in the evening
was q terror. Every day the train was
crowded with drunks coming this way
and it almost meant a battle for the
conductor in charge of the train. Now,
that is all changed. The people we
haul out Of Marion are just as orderly
and well behaved as those we take on
here or anywhere else. I'll tell you,
concluded the conductor, II am Pro-
hibitionist from my heart"

The senate has been meeting every
day this week; but has not been doing
a great deal of WORK except through

ture action. The house was not in
session Monday or Tuesday; but met
in joint session with the senate yes
terday afternoon at o'clock on ac
count Of the Inauguration ceremonies,
and afterward some committee work
was accomplished.
The fact that there has been but
little actual work in the house or SEN

neglected Senator's and members are
considering and discussing various
subjects that have been forced upon

How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
1T is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.

WHAT A FORMER OREGON

ERN CANADA.

Albert Nelson left Benton Co., Ore
gon, in Sept, 1904, for the great
Canadian prairies. To quote from his
letter: Il was greatly surprised to
find such an immense stretch of rich
virgin prairie still almost unoccupied
in the very heart of North America
The splendid crops of oats, wheat, bar
ley, potatoes and hay / beheld in the
settlements made me very eager for a
piece of this rich soil, and / soon To-
Gated in the Goose Lake country. We
have here great stretch of the rich,
deep clay loan of the Saskatchewan
soil heavy and hard to break, but
particularly well adapted for the re-
tention of moisture and production OF
the bright No. l hard wheat, and
great crops of oats, barley. fax and po-
tatoes. / had 60 bushels of oats,
weighing AL lb. to the bushel, per
acre. Some of my neighbors had still
greater yields. Wheat yielded from 20
to 80 bushels per acre. We have all
done we'll here, and / could name
many Americans who came here with
means to go ahead, who have done
big already. For homesteads one has
to go further west, but the best prai
rie can be bought here for from $1,000
to $1,000 per acre. The climate is
dry and healthy. This is the regular
Saskatchewan fall weather - frosty
nights, and bright, sunny days-ideal
for threshing and hauling out of
wheat. The trails are dusty, as thou
sands of wheat teams are moving
towards the elevators.
THE sight of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the
exception here. Snow generally falls
in December and goes off in March.
1t sometimes gets very cold. but the
Saskatchewan farmer does not fear
the cold. Winter is his season Of
rest. The first or second crop he
builds a comfortable house for him
