Wild Week on the Cotton Mar
New York despatch, Oct 20.

NEW 1Ork QeSpatCh, oct 29.
1t has been a wild week in cot
ton with a jump of IS to S. a
bale. This was based on a grow
ing conviction that it is a short
crop and that there is nothing
tor it but much higher prices be-
fore the season is ended. Wheth-
er this advance will eliminate bv
the end of the calendar year is of
course a matter for the future to
determine, but bulls are talking
OF crop of only 100000 to
10, 500, 900 bales and consume
ton of Ii, 100000 to Ii, 5OO,O 900.
! though to many it is not clear
how the consumption can reach
such a quantity unless the pres
ent crop estimates are too
low. Only 100000 bales of
American cotton were carried
over from last season. But while
there may be a disagreement to
the precise size of the crop and
the consumption, the belief is al
most universal that the yield is
at any rate only moderate and
inadequate to the needs of the
worlds cotton trade. It is ar
gued, too, that if the cotton crop
OF the South is to be worth this
year some $500, 900, 900 the pur-
chasing power of the South will
be greatly increased and with the
high prices which Western farm
ers are obtaining for their grain.
1t will greatly stimulate the use
OF cotton goods and enable manu-
facturers to obtain prices more
than commensurate with the high
price OF raw material. There are
those who think a new era of
cotton values has set in and that
there is not likely to be much
permanent decline in the price
until there is radical increase in
the production through an in
creased cultivation of a vast area
IN the Southwest suitable for
cotton culture.

The Southern Textile Associa-

ing in Pullen Hall Tuesday of
last week. The, textile students
of the college attended the meet
ing and were helped by the pa
pers and discussions. The visit
eors seemed to greatly enjoy their
visit to the college and expressed
themselves as being much i'm

said one of the mill men, Il had
no idea any of our Southern tex

The battalion drill and compa-
ny competitive drills on the fair
grounds last Wednesday after
noon were witnessed by immense
crowds. Military men in the
crowd were hearty in their
praise of the well-executed move

well-drilled cadets. The honor
of carrying the college colors for

COUNCIL WILL MEET
FEW IMPORTANT MATTERS FOR LAST SESSION FOR sEv
 ERAL WEEKS

For what may be the last meeting to be held this month, the city council will be in session at the city hall to- night.
 Owing to the fact that several of the city fathers will attend the Elks con vcntion at Los Algeles, which opens a week from Sunday, it may be difficult to secure quorum during the pres ent month and all matters which de- mand immediate attention will be dis. posed of tonight.
 Unless something unexpected comes up, there will be few matters of i'm. portanee disposed of at the session. Current bills will be ordered paid, how ever and some action may be taken on the construction of the new fire house and water department office building, which is to be erected on the City hall lot, within the next few months.

kODAKER D|SRUPTS INDIAN DEVIL
 DANCE
ATTEMPT TO TAKE. .FLASHLIGHT PICTURE BREAKS UP BIG
 SHOW OF RED MEN

A kodak fend who took flashlight picture of the "Devil's Dancen at South Side park last night broke up the big Indian dance given by Chief Dan Higus and the members of his band.
 In spite of the injunction of the chief, to the effect that no pictures should be taken of the affaih camera operators were much in evidence. The dance had been in progress for some time before one of the elan, more nervy than any of the others, set off a charge of flash powder. The dance stopped at once and the braves could not be induced to proceed further with the ceremonies.
 In spite of the rather threatening weather, the dance and powwow was well attended. As the Devil $ dance had not been seen before in this city, this feature was thoroughly enjoyed by those who attended.
 Chief Higus stated after the dance had broken up that he was very sorry that the ceremony should have ended In such an abrupt manner. The dance, is q religious custom, at which the talk ing of photographs is held to be inn proper, however, and the braves could not be induced to go on with the cere- mony, after the hashlight had been taken.

THEATER EMPLOYEE ROBBED OF s2O
 BY SNEAK
OTHER MONEY IN PURSE LEFT IN DRESSING ROOM IS
 FOUND INTACT
SEVERAL ARRESTS ARE MADE
OFFICERS FEEL SURE OF CLUE AND EXPECT TO HAVE cUL-
 PRIT TODAY

As the result of the work of sneak thief, Mrs. Willis G. West was robbed of s20 at the Majestic theater, Tues day. night.
 The matter was reported to the of fcers yesterday, but the thief is still at liberty, although number of ar, rests have already been made.
 The strange part of the robbery lies in the fact that while $20 bill was taken from q handbag which had been left in the dressing room of the the. ater, while Mrs. West took part in the performance, two $5 bills and a quanti- ty of small change was overlooked.
 According to the theory of the of. fcers, the work was that of juvenile criminal. A youngstcr with a record none too clean is known to have been hanging around the theater q: about the time the robbery was committed. The fact that he Is known to have been too pleGtifuliy supplied with money for q youth of his resources, yesterday, heightens the belief that tine boy in question committed the theft.
 Two boys were arrested yesterday, but while they had apparently bene- fitted by the proceeds of the robbery, they were not connected with the actu- al theft of the money and they were discharged. It is expected that the real offender will be placed in custody to- day.
 The robbery was not discovered until after the second show had been com- pleted, Tuesday night Mrs. West had several postage stamps wrapped up with the money in her haadbag. a $20 and two 50 bills, and whes she returned to the dressing room after the show, she saw n quantity of stamps on the floor.
 She asked one of the other women in the dressing room if she had not drop ped the stamps and upon receiving negative answer, she examined her handbag, A small purse which had contained the money was open and al- though the two $5 bills were in evi- dence, the $2O had disappeared
 The boy who IS suspected of the theft is well known to the officers and can hardly escape being arrested,

HISTORIC RELIC OF RARE INTEREST
 AT SEATTLE
WALKING STICK GIVEN BY BEN FRANKLIN TO HIS FRIEND
 LAFAYETTE

SEATTLE, June 29.--At the Alaska. fukon-Paclfic exposition at Seattle is displayed n relic of rare interest to the lover of things historical. It has a story to tell of the days when the
 Revolutionary war made friends of Ben Jamn Franklin and General Lafayette. 1t will be remembered that after the close of the struggle which brought
 America liberty, Franklin visited France and was there entertained by Lafayette. The Frepc hman asked the American for parting token of friend ship and Franklin gave up his favor. ite walking stick
 wealthy resident of New Haven. while travelling in France a few years ago, discovered the cane in the posses. sion of the present Marquis Lafayette, to whom it had descended as an heir. loom. After much urging he induced the marquis to allow the stick to be returned to the land of the original owner
 University of Pennsylvania authori- ties heard of the return of the walk. ing stick, and as Franklin was founder of that institution and closely connect cd with the history of the state, they in turn induced the New Haven man to turn the cane over to them. It was pre- sented formally to the university in 1908, with speech by then secretary of war Wm. II. Taft, and is now on dis play in the institution 5 exhibit at Sc attle.
 The cane is dark brown in color, with an ebony head, and the initials "B. F.' are carved upon it. The age of the walking stick is estimated at about l50 years.
