FOR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES

ALMA, Neb., Dec. Especial 1.-THE
most sensational game of foot ball ever
Witnessed in southwestern Nebraska was
played In Alma Thanksgiving day, before
a large crowd. IL was to decide the high
school championship OF southwestern Ne
braska. The game was played between
Alma and the Beaver City High school
teams. Although the score resulted in a
tie, to s, the Alma team claims the
championship because OF superior playing
and by clever forward passes and long
end runs made several big gains and kept
the ball out OF danger coming very pear
the goal line many, times, but unfortu.
nate circumstances kept them from scor-
ing. Twice during the last half Porter
at left end and Long, full back, broke
through the line for long runs and were
only stopped by a flying tackle. The
Alma boys were 0utweighed fifteen
pounds 20 the man. but the speed and
headwork OF the locals more than offset
the beef Of their opponents. Alma claims
the championship ON the grounds that
the team has not been beaten and has
two tie games. Games played. together

COTTON REPORT AWAITED.
CROP FIGURES TO BE ANNOUNC.
ED FRIDAY.
Even Conservative Traders Expect a
Will be Much Lower Than Last
Months Estimate.

New Orleans, Aug. 27.-From the
present outlook the most important
feature to be considered during the
week In the cotton market will be the
report on condition of the crop on
August 25, which will be issued Fri
day. The fact that the report will be
followed by the triple labor day hol-
idays leads many to believe that
much evening up will be done before
the report is published.
The expectation now is that the
coming report will be anywhere from
II to 70 per cent. Even conservative
traders express the belief that a de-
teriorat!on from last months report
OF Ss.1 Will be forthcoming to the ex-
tent OF 10 points in the condition fig
ures. The rise last week partially
discounted bullish anticipations, but 1t
Is not likely that the movement dur
ing the coming week will show an ad-
vancing tendency as the result Of the
anticipated condition figures. At the
close Of the week the only thing in
evidence which could rob the condi-
tion figures Of their influence was the
prospect Of trouble between Germany
and France, but 1t will take decided
developments to make the situation a
bearish factor.
The movement Of new cotton will
be watched with interest by both
sides. Bears. however, can not hope
to see the movement will have much
pressure on the market until COM
mitments out Of Galveston have been
filled.

GEORGIA RACE CLASH AVERTED
how I'm Hotel Almost Leads to Sc.
riOus Consequences.

Jackson, Ga. Aug. 26.-An alter
cation between a hotel clerk at the
Elder House. in Indian Springs, and
two negro bell boys indirectly led
to the killing Of Jesse Shingley and
the serious wounding Of Robert Con-
nor, by shots fired from ambush,
supposedly by the two bell boys from
the hotel, about dark yesterday
evening. This morning two negroes
were arrested by Sheriff Crawford
and taken to Atlanta, but all indica-
tons are that they had nothing to do
with the crime. their nanes being
similar to the two bell boys in Qaes-
ton. Among a certain element this
morning there was some talk Of
lynching and race trouble, but early
this afternoon Sheriff Crawford made
the statement that there was moth
ing to fear.
In Jackson groups Of men are talk
ing Of the tragedy, but as we'll as can
be learned, no one has contemplated
violence. One Of the bell boys has
made a clean getaway. In Indian
Springs one would hardly know that
there had been q killing, except that
outside OF the hotel servants there Is
not negro to be seen in a public
place. They are also sticking to their
homes in Jackson until possibility Of
trouble blows over.
The two men who were shot were
not connected with the sheriff's Of
fee. They were Of a party Of six
from Jackson, who were driving to
Indian Springs. The two fugutives
wanted for threatening the life Of the
hotel clerk earlier in the day, it is
believed, hid in the thicket to watch
for the coming Of the sheriff from
Jackson, and probably mistook the
civilians for the officers.
Shingley fell at the first shot and
was deserted by his frightened com
panions. He bled to death in the
road. Connor fell wounded from his
buggy several yards up the road.
The others hid in the woods. They
We're not found until Deputy Knowles
heard Of the shooting and found them
in the road. Az the two bell boys
have evidently left the county and
other negroes are not blamod for
their action. feeling has died down
completely.

COTTON CROF POSSIBLE.
Memphis C0mmercial-Appeai Says
Deterioration Has Been Checked
or Has Ceased Altogether.

Memphis, Tenn. Aug. 27.-The
Commercial-Appeal's weekly cotton
review tomorrow will say:
"The decline In the condition of
the cotton plant. which set in several
weeks ago, has been checked In the
two Carolinas. Georgia and Alabama,
OF has ceased altogether by reason of
more favorable weather rain having
fallen in the Carolinas and dry wealth
er supervened in the two latter
States Cotton Is early In the Attain
tic States. and without more rain will
open rapidly. A fair crop Is ASSURE a
and large one SENS possibility,
despite the deterioration that has
been suffered.
'In Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkan-
sas and Louisiana rainfall continued
during the week, and some of the re-
ports take very gloomy view OF the
outlook. The chief damage has re-
suited from shedding Of young forms
by reason OF the rank growth OF the
stalk and from boil weevils in the
southern part Of this valley territory.
IL Is eviC .t. however. that bright
weather would vastly reduce present
estimates OF damage.
"In oklahoma and Texas a period
Of extreme heat accompanied by a
burning sun and hot winds. caused n
quick setback TO cotton, which had
but lately taken on fresh growth
from rain. The plant was being
forced To an early maturity. but rains
toward the close OF the week put an
end to the condition and hold out 4
promise of better returns next week.
As most correspondents state. there Is
yet time to derive benefit from the
rains
Cotton Is moving very freely to
market where any picking is being
done"

WANT FEDERATION RECOGNIZED
Only Issue Between Hartman Lines
and ShOpmen.

Chicago. Aug. PA conference be-
tween Vice President julius Krut-
tschnitt Of the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads, and j. w. Kline, in
ternational president Of the Black
smiths Union, was held here today
without any steps being taken toward
a settlement of difficulties involving
$4,000 shopmen employed by the Har.
riman lines.
The representatives OF the rail-
road interests and the labor organ
iZations were in conference several
hours. Both Vice President Krut-
tschnitt and President Kline declined
to discuss what was done at the con-
ference, but it is said that the entire
subject Of the railroads refusal to
recognize the unions federation in
stead of individual unions was con-
sidered at length. 1t is said Vice
President Krunttschnit is following
instructions Of the directors of the
lines In refusing recognition of the
federation.
The roads involved in the present
dispute are The Union Pacific.
Southern Pacific. Central Pacific, Or
egon Short Line, Houston and Texas
Central; Oregon Railroad and Navi-
CATION Company, San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. Shop
workers of the Illinois Central Rail
road have a similar grievance.
President j. w. Kline, in outlining
the position Of the shopmen. said:
June 8, last, a committee Of work
ers on the Hartman lines met in Salt
Lake City to form a federation of the
members of various mechanical
crafts under railroad management. \
number of other roads had already
recognized similar federations, among
them the Wabash Road, the Gould
lines and the Hawley lines.
The organization was formed for
protection and in the interest Of econ
omy and convenience. 1t should be
easier To deal with one Joint commit
tee than with a dozen. For some
reason, the Hartman lines refused
to recognize the federated body.
THAT is all the men are asking
The question of wages + NOT involv
ed"
