RAN THRO' FLAMES FOR LIFE.
YOUNG MAN MEETS WITH HOR.
RIBLE FATE AT WESTON.
10y Jones So Badly Injured Leaving
Burning Store That He Died

10y Jones So Badly Injured Leaving
Burning Store That He Died
the Next Day.
A horrible fate was that which
befell Mr.. Roy Jones, a well-known
young man who was sleeping with
his brother, Ross Jones, in the store
of Mr.. VIM. King in Weston, the lit
tie Webster county village.
Late Thursday night the young
man awoke to find the entire build
ing enveloped in flames and the
roof falling in, and the only chance
TO save his life was to rush through
the tlre barefooted and with only his
night clothes on. 1t was a desperate
situation, but with heroic determine
ton he darted through the fire
to place beyond the scorching
names. But it was a fatal dash for
MS life, as he died Friday after lin
gerlng through excruciating pain.
Ross Jones, it is said had barely
time to escape with his own life,
and so badly frightened was he
when he awoke that he did not think
to wake his brother before leaping
from the burning building.
Mr.. Kings loss is several thousand
dollars and is complete, as he had
no insurance on either his building
or stock of goods.

HIGHEST PRICE SINCE WAR
NOT SO HIGH IN FORTY YEARS
WAS PRICE OF COTTON.

For a Week 1t Has Been SELLING
Around the Thirteen Cents Mark
and May Go Higher Yet.
NOT since the war has cotton sold
at this time of year as high as has
been paid the past week.
The market steadily advanced
several days, and Saturday the Daw-
son buyers readily paid 1S cents for
COTTON. Monday the market Stunned
a quarter of a cent. Tuesday ar
noon when The News went to nress
the quotations were:
Fully good middling. 1871
Good middling 12%
Az iuulinS .125s
AT that time the warehouses in
dawson had received 1901 bales bv
wagon.
The rise in price is due to a bull
pool formed by ]. A. Patten of Chi
cago. After making 100000 in
wheat he decided to try his hand at
cotton, and went to New York and
formed bull pool.
Ihere is every reason to believe
that the coming price of cotton will
be higher than has been known in
many years. Some thing it will run
IN excess of Is cents in the spring
1t is remarkable how the price has
held up so far. With cotton selling
freely and the mills being able to Sc
cure all they need at the present
price the only theory regarding the
advance is that everybody believes
the crop is very short, and therefore
will go higher.
More and more cotton is needed
every year to supply the demand. A
new demand for cotton has come
from the automobile people. 1t now
requires three hundred and fifty
thousand bales of cotton in the man
ufacture of automobile tires. AS
machines are increased this demand
is increased.
There is also more demand for cot
ton because more cotton goods are
being made than formerly. The
high tariff on wool has caused less
wool to be used than formerly, and
consequently more cotton.

Hydrophobia Decreasing.

The number of inoculations for hy.
drophobia at the Pasteur Institute of
France has pretty steadily decreased
since the service was started, 20 wears
ago. In 1856 2.671 persons were
treated; in 1907 only 7S6. The small
est number. 62s. was treated in 1903
This decrease, of course. might mean
lessening belief in the efficacy Of
the treatment or a decrease in the pre-
valence of rabies in France An
examination of the percentage Of
fatal cases treated reveals that this
also has been decreasing, showing i'm.
provement in efficiency and indi-
eating that the treatment has prob
ably been effective in checking the
malady. At no time during the exist.
ence of the institute has the number
of fatal cases reached one per cent. of
the total treated, but in 1856 it was
0.94 per cent, while in 1907 it was
only OBS. In 1906 it fell as low as
0.13, there being only one death out OF
