New York, June ga scare among
operators for July and August delivery
of cotton in New York. sent prices up
in sensational manner during today's
early trading. July cotton sold at
$500 or 81 a bale above the closing

YER excited market with advances of
from to points frequently noted be-
tween sales.
There appeared to be nothing par
ticularly bullish in the general news
as Liverpool was rather lower and
weather conditions were favorable. but
there seemed to be no one to sell old
cotton aside from the big bulls and
these traders were unwilling to supply
the demand, except on a sharply ad-
Vancing scale.

OLD SOLDIER SURPRISED
Chas. w. Miller Gets Check for short
age i'm Pay During Civil War.

The government mill grinds slowly
but it grinds exceeding fine. Charles
w Miller. living in Topeka at 112S To-
peka avenue, today received check
from the department of the treasury
for 1886 to cover shortage in his pay
check while serving as a soldier of the
Union in 1S61-65. Mr.. Miller had a
claim on file for longevity pay or some
increase in his pension. The auditor of
the war department, in checking up
this claim. found that in August, 1861,
Mr.. Miller's pay check was A cents
short: in July. 1865, it was $2.40 short,
and in the same month he should have
been allowed 50 cents on clothing. so
the bill was itemized and paid today,
after forty-five years. Uncle Sam acts
pretty square with his soldier bows
after all, and keeps strict books on all
their accounts and pay for little extras
allowed by law.
Mr.. Miller served during the war In
the Sixth Iowa infantry.

For Breakfast Oh Anything Don't Happen Have In the
RUBBER TIRES MAY GO
Westinghouse Believes Airspring VIII
Make Them Unnecessary

Pittsburg, May 19.-An invention
which he believes will do away with
much Of the cost of tires to autolsts
has been completed by George West
inghouse. 1t is known as the air
spring. Mr.. Whitehouse says the
expense OF rubber-tired vehicles will
be decreased at least 60 per cent
since the rubber tire may be dis
pensed with.
The new air spring device is being
tried out on autos with steel tires. 1t
consists of a series of plungers work
ing on air cushions on the same prin-.
ciple as an elevator plunger. The air
spring is placed under each corner Of
the frame of an auto. Mr.. Westing
house says it takes the shock with
greater ease than does the rubber
tires now in use. Each spring for an
automobile is a cylinder set upright,
a plunger connected with the auto
frame working up and down as re-
quired.
