Following is crop letter mailed out yesterday by Well Brothers Cotton Company, of this city
 There has been d general improve lnent in the crop conditions in the At lantic states and Alabama during Sep tember. The August weather was en- tirely too hot for the plant, especially as the greater part of the crop was at least three weeks late, and the September weather conditions were a g they should have been in July. There was a moderate amount of rain anj the temperature was somewhat above normal for September. Usually there Is deterioration in SeptembeT while this season we think there has been an Improvement. Late cotton has been blooming during the entire month. and that, there Is great diversity of opinion as to the final out turn of the crop in the Atlantic states and Alabama, for the simple reason that the crop is late and very spotted. ana Is not fruited as 1t should be and usually is. In some sections the plant is very large, but there Is not much fruit. With open weather, however, and late fall. which 1t promises to be now, we look for normal yield in the sections named above.
 As to Mississippi. conditions there are quite different. Some portions or Mississippi have had severe drouth, hot winds and heavy rainfall. The crop in the entire state is late and at the present writing We estimate that he state will make from ten to twenty per cent less than last year.
 ITO attempt to estimate the yield of the entire Cotton Belt with an accur Rcy at the present time, and with the crop in some sections (notabIy the Western BeltD beyond the fruiting stage, would be exceedingly difficult We feel. however. inclined to regard this crop as II 900 900 less bales mtnl mum; any increase over this amount will have have h9 al able weather conditions from now on. An open fall invariably adds to the crop, but more so this season than usual Even a normal frost would add considerably to this crop, and very late frost would add materially.
 Up to the present time. the Soutr has realized from 12 cents to IS 1-4 cents for what 1t has marketed. Far

Will Touch Button at New Button Fac
tory Which Will Start Num-
Der of Men in the
New Work.
FACTORY LOOKS GOOD
A Result Of Activity of Commercial
Club and Other Such Plants
Should be Secured
by It.

With full ceremonies the Hawkeye
Pearl Button factory will open Mon
day morning, with Mayor Off pushing
the button that starts the machinery
and with the city officials and other CO.
lebrities on hand to witness it. The
factory is located at Third and Ridge
and is now complete or operations and
machinery to give employment to sew
enty-five men installed. A report comes
from the factory that they have been
able to secure labor, but there will be
a further demand during the next two
weeks. as fifty more machines will be
installed and the force increased to two
hundred by the middle of September.
The new button factory is the work
and energy of the Commercial club and
is expected to prove one OF the most
valuable assets to the city secured by
this commercial organization for a
long time. One beauty about the new
plant is that it will give many of the
unemployed chance of not only
working and earning good
weekly wage, but it will serve
to teach Keokuk labor new
trade and one that brings in from $12
to SIS per week.
The button factory has been receiving
clam shells for the past month and now
has plenty on hand to begin opera
tons. The company mas found, how
ever, the present building inadequate
and 1t is being enlarged
1t is expected that quit number
of people will be on hand early Mon
day morning to witness the opening OF
the new plant and watch Mayor Off
touch the button that starts the machin-
cry, which will give employment to a
large number Of men for many years
yet to come.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The combination of song and dance
has always been particularly appeal

The ancient Greeks and Romans
brought it even into their religious
rites. The senses of sight and hear

what different circumstances, thus
equally satisfied and delighted.
There was period. however, when
the song and dance were more or less
separated. The great song-birds, like
Jenny Lind, for instance, did not
dance, and the great dancers, say
Fanny Ellsler did not sing. To a
great extent. this has existed until
very recent times, but the twin arts,
as we shall show presently. seem once
more to be on the way of being ANAL,

far as public entertainments were
concerned, meant simply what negro
