TWO BROTHERS MEET.
Had Not Seen Each other for Forty
Six Years.

Paducah, KY. March lido you
remember, Charley the time I took
you behind me on horseback to the
dentist TO have tooth pulled ?" was
the first question asked by John T.
Markham, after a separation of 46
years. when he met Charles H. Mark
ham, president of the Illinois Central
railroad, in the latter's private car be-
tween here and Memphis, Tennessee,
Saturday night.
u certainly do" responded the
railroad president. IT never can for
get that
The recognition was complete. and
there was no doubt between the two
men that one was the young Souther-
ner who had left his parents at the
outbreak of the civil war to go to the
front, and that the other was the long
lost baby brother, who had been
mourned as dead for more than two
score years.
When the elder brother at the close
or the war returned to his former
nome he found a grave which marked
the resting place of his father, and his
friends did not know where the moth
er and baby brother had gone.
John Markham settled down to
work, but left no stone unturned to
locate his mother and brother. He de-
SPARED of ever hearing from them but
a short time ago he read that Charles
Markham had been chosen president
of the Illinois Central, and inquiries
led the veteran to believe that he had
at last found the long lost baby
brother.
After long talk over the long dis
lance telephone arrangements were
made for a meeting somewhere along
the Illinois Central line. At the con-
clus1on of tour through the south
over the lines of his road, President
Markh ham stopped over in Memphis to
await the coming of his brother.

Serious and Seemed Hopeless but
the Tonic Treatment Cured Her.
The value of the tonic treatment of
Gams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that
these pills do not stimulate the already
exhausted nerves to keep up their work
for time longer but that they replace
the depleted nervous energy.
Miss Susan M. Kerr, of No. 8 Mer-
rln street, Trenton, No., who tried
this treatment says:
Ever since was child had been
troubled with nervousness My parents
first noticed it when I was about five
years old. They thought it was moth
ing serious but after commenced GO
ing to school, became so much worse
that had to drop my studies. There
was continual jerking all over nv
body. had no control over nv limbs
and could not hold anything for fear of
dropping it. My left side was sort of
pa alyzed and the left side of my face
was constantly jerking. I could not
write or even hold pen or pencil The
least noise or disturbance excited me SO
that would go all to pieces. I was a
nervous wreck and Always afraid of
falling. My stomach was very weak.
l was confined to bed for day or SO at
Q time.
81 was treated by several doctors.
One said had nervousness, another st.
Vitus dance, while one said l had par
alysis of the face. None of them gave
me much relief, although all of them
said they could cure me. After I had
been sick for long time I gave up all
doctors treatment and began taking
DR.. Williams Pink Pills as advised BY
friend. After had taken the pills a
while could begin to use my hands
and legs. | gave the pills steady trial
and have not been troubled since DIR.
Williams Pink Pills gave me new blood
and strength and I heartily recommend
them"

petus from the panic OF 1907 Every
body knew while that panic was on
that something was wrong with our
banking system. There are two things
that are fundamental I'm banking: The
banks should be always ready TO meet
their cash obligations on demand and
they should be always ready 10 loan
for the legitimate, current needs OF
their customers ut some reasonable
rate. In view OF our experience in the
past those two conditions may seem
to make very large contract, but In
every other important country Of the
world those conditions are met There
ia plenty Of proof that a properly or
ganlzed banking system can meet
them.
There is an end 10 bank runs
whenever II IL known that the indi-
Nldual banks viii be adequately sup
ported, ana the amount of credit re-
quired TO handle tho current eX-
changes can always be supplied. OF
course, no banking system can under
take TO furnish all the credit that may
be wanted for speculation or eXtrava-
CANT construction, but It can and
should furnish all that is needed TO
move the crops and make the current
exchanges Of trade.

LATE DELIVERIES RESULTED IN
OPENING LOW RECORDS,
SOON CHECKED.
Guess OF 15,375.OOO BALES
Rumors of England's Financing Con
yention's Plans Have Little Ef-
feet on tie Market.

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-The feature
in the cotton market today was the
relative firmness Of December con-
tracts which seemed to result from
support by leading spot houses and
nervousness on the part of scattered
shorts owing to the fact that so far
this season New York has attracted
comparatively little cotton for delivery
on contract,
Late deliveries made new low rec
ords at the opening, but the demand
for December checked the decline, and
prices rallied during the day with the
close barely steady at a net advance of
from points to n decline of points.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance Of points for October but COW
ering by belated shorts sold the mar
ket off to points on easier cables,
reports that prominent crop experts
estimated the crop at 15,375,O 900 bales
and a cable showing by the early
weather map and exaggerated tone
OF the forecast. Leading spot inter
ests, however, were good buying Of
December. at the opening levels and
as soon as that month began to in
crease its premium over January and
March, the. general list began turning
steadier on predictions of storms along
the Texas coast, The demand in
creased with the steadier tone, but
prices continued to sag, and the mar
ket was to 0 points above the Cos
ing figures OF yesterday, with Decem-
Der touching 9.20.
The gossip in local circles with ref
erence to December was that leading
spot people had accumulated large
holdings Of contracts for that deliv-
cry and would demand the cotton in
order to create larger local stocks to
hold against hedge sales in the latter
market that would subsequently be
next to track cotton here.
Rumors that EIpH IN capitalists
had offered the convention at New
Orleans. funds for financing two mil
lion bales of the present crop in the
shape of advances up to $40 bale,
had little effect on the market.
Receipts today, 130,120. against
llO.41S last week, and 72,9S4 last
year. Today's receipts at New Orleans

Will MAKE The Third
PROPOSES TO ESTABLISH STA
TIoNs THRoUGHOUT TERRI
TORY OF ITS RIVALS.
Starts A FOUR Wire line
Contracting Agent Arranges for Build
ing-All-Night Service viii
Then he Maintained.

Definite information has been re.
ceiyed in local business circles that q
third commercial telegraph company
Is soon TO enter the Tulsa field. The
Mackay Telegraph company, which is
the Eastern Postal company, will
within the next thirty days, establish
offices in Tulsa, Guthrie, Shawnee
Muskogee and McAlester. The only
office they now MAINTAIN In the state
Is at Oklahoma City. A four wire line
is being strung TO the foregoing cities,
which will eventually go to st. Louis.
New Company for Tulsa.
The Postal Telegraph company of
Texas, which has offices in the states
Of Oklahoma, Texas Louisiana, and
Arkansas, has maintained an office in
Tulsa for several years, but the
Mackay company is an entirely diff
ferent concern from the Postal Of
Texas. BY a court decision, the Pos
tai Telegraph company, as 1t is
known outside Of the four states
named, is compelled to do business
under the name of the Mackay COM
pany in the territory occupied by the
Postal Telegraph company of Texas.
The Mackay company proposes to
eventually establish offices all
through the territory in which the
rival concern has offices. At present,
tho Mackay company has many Of
ficeS In Texas. Its line runs from
Kansas City to Oklahoma City, and
thence to Dallas and intermediate
points. AS soon as the wires can be
strung, the local office of the con-
Germ will be opened to the public.
That will give Tulsa three telegraph
companies, the Postal, the Mackay
and the Western Union.
VIII Better All Service.
Contracting Agent Dietz Of the
Mackay company was in Tulsa recent
ly making arrangements for the op-
ening of tho local office.
1t is though by some that the ad-
Vent of third concern In Tulsa will
result In much better telegraph SER
vice for the public One change that
II will probably make will be to install
an all-night service. IA present both
companies here close at IL o'clock
each night.

Breaking of System.

"Our system broke down in 1907.
when great railway systems could not

ers We're thrown out Of employment.
Every consideration demands that

more than bankers problem or mer-
chants problem 1t involves stable
markets for the farmer and steady
employment for the wage-earner. 1t
is more ipmortant to laborers than
