The Liverpool market quite firm. and on
The cable there was a firm local opening. with
prices showing q good advance. The market
broke quickly, however. and weak and I'M
settled oil the morning, With prices down 10
uow low levels for the present reaction. The
decline was largely Influenced by the weakness
in " ali street and the selling by Wall street in
forests result Of the demoralized condition
0f The stock market. The reports from the south
were again of quiet but firm markets in spot
cotton. with an absence of pressure the
Bet and lack or willingness on the part Of the
country interests TO sell cotton at prevsiling
prices. There is very iirtle doing. however, as
sellers views and buyers views are too far

Sale Day Advertising.

The Globe has a whine about
its being neglected in the matter
of the sale day advertising. The
Globe has been published since
1885, continuously. About 1887
or 1883 it came into the hands
of its present management. 1t
really seems as though that was
long enough time in which to
promote something for the adj
vancement of the town and the
building up of it's business, but
if in all these years 1t has pro-
noted single thing which has
been for the up building of
the town or county, we have fall
ed to notice it. But it has
always been ready to knock any
thing which would bring the
town up to it's natural advan-
tages during all of that up hill
pull by the town and county.
The News has no reason for be-
ing, but to build up Meade coun-
ty and every enterprise in it. 1t
did what it could to bring the
sale day idea into use by the
town, that it has been a success
on it's one trial, is due not to the
Globe, but to the business men
who stood with The News for
the advancement of the city.
Now the Globe sits down and
howls like a kid, who has drop
ped his candy into a rat hole.
We wish the Globe would get
something going hat.benefitted
the town even if it did not bene-
fit the politicians.

1t Might Have Been Worse.

h. ]. Goddard while returning
to his home after being here at
tending to the business of his
store, in the Read building, by a
narrow margin escaped a bad
and what might easily have been
fatal wreck. While mile or
two south of Cimarron, and fol-
lowing at some distance behind
another auto, and running at a
fair rate of speed, he dropped
front wheel into a hole. Mr..
Goddards wife's mother, Mrs.
Burns and his little son, Don
we're in the tonneau. Both were
thrown from the car. Mrs. Burns
having an arm broken and some
what bruised, but not otherwise
injured. The little boy was not
hurt. Mr.. Goddard having a
firm grip on the steering wheel
was not thrown out. The axel
snapped short off at the wheel
which went into the hole, and
the wonder is that the Car did
not roll over into the ditch. An
accident of that kind usually re-
suits in a total wreck of the car
and the death of one or more of
J the occupants.

CHATTER v.

The Woman In the Next car.
With the departure of the conduc-
tor and the doctor, the group around
lower ten broke up, to reform In
smaller knots through the car. The
porter remained ON guard. With
something of relief sank into seat.
l wanted to think, to try to remember
the details of the previous night. But
my inQuisitive acquaintance had other
intentions. He came up and sat down
beside me. Like the conductor, he had
taken notes of the dead mans be-
longings, his name, address, clothing
and the general circumstances OF the
crime. Now with his little notebook
open before him, he prepared to en-
Joy the minor sensation Of the rob
berry.
And now for the second victim" "
he began cheerfully. What 10 your
name and address, please?"
eyed him with suspicion.
81 have lost everything but my name
and address," I parried. What do you
