Suicide Among German Children.

Why do SO many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed it has been said that
the majority of suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the WALL has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the Encouragement Of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know if any OF
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that OF
child suicide.

TWO HOLD UP A BANK CASHIER
CHECKING ACCOUNTS AT MID.
NIGHT WHEN ATTACKED.
Outlaws Escape With 81, 100, But Are
Identified and Cap
tured.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 27.-Entering the
First National bank at Noonan, N. d.,
at midnight, where the cashier was
checking his accounts, two masked
and heavily armed bandits secured
$1,100 in cash and escaped from the
building. One of the robbers was
captured before he made his escape
from the village and another was ar
rested later at Donnybrook while a
third man, suspected of being an ac-
complete, was arrested near Noonan.
The money was recovered.
The robbery was one of the boldest
ever pulled off in the state. The two
men, their faces hidden by handker-
chiefs, through which holes had been
cut for the eyes, secured entrance to
the bank building through the street
door. Both were heavily armed and
Cashier Ward w. Lee was covered
by the r~evolvers before he could give
the alarm. Bank notes to the amount
of $1,100, which were lying on the desk
were quickly thrown into a waste pa
per basket by the cashier, but the
bandits saw the action and recovered
the money.
Lee was then bound hand and foot
aud tied to his chair, while the robbers
prepared to force open the safe which
Lee had taken the precaution to lock.
While the bandits were engaging in
laying the fuse, two friends, who had
come to visit Lee, ratified the door of
the bank and the robbers made a hur-
ried exit through a rear entrance.
Lees friends gained admittance and
released him and at once gave chase
to the bandits.
The men had removed their masks
while preparing to blow open the vault
and Lee recognized them as we'll
known local characters. One of the
men, Charles Lanzen, was found at his
boarding place in the village and ar
rested. He had none of the money
which had been taken from the bank,
however.
The other robber, George Donahue,
walked four miles to Columbus, where
he stole a horse, rode to Flaxton, and
took a train to Donnybrook and was
recognized by a deputy sheriff, who
arrested him. He had all the money
taken from the bank in his possession.
A third man, whose name could not
be learned, was arrested in the mines
near Noonan and is being held await.

London, Nov. 27.-The possibility
and danger of a greater war than that
between the Balkan states and Tur.
key absorbs public interest more than
the first bout of diplomacy between
the belligerents outside of CONSTANT
nople. The steps towards mobiliza-
ton which Austria and Russia are
taking although precautionary have
made possible a vision of the asst con
sequences, which, as far as Great Brit
ain is concerned, are considered moth
ing less than appalling.
Developments Feared.
Apparently the British public has
no desire to sacrifice lives and money,
paralyze commerce and risk the navy
over the settlement of the status of
the Balkan peninsula.
The liberal press is unanimous in
urging Great Britain to preserve neu-
trality.
The Pail Mall Gazette almost alone
speaks in a warlike voice. 1t de.

to be swept aside. If the conference
desired by the British government is
refused we ought to face the alterna-
tive and stand by our friends
The mobilization of the Austrian and
Russian armies requires weeks for
what Germany and France can accom-
plish in days. In Russia's case this
is on account of the great distances
the troops must travel; in Austria be-
cause the units of the army are on a
peace footing which is only one-third
of their war strength. Therefore con-
sideration of safety compel them to
begin when the danger signals are re-
mote.
England, France and Germany are
playing a peace making role. Their
efforts are directed apparently toward
keeping the powers together in a com.
pact to refrain from taking up piece
meal the question which the war
raises and defer their consideration
until the general conference.

 Private telegrams were pessmistc. Manchester news was pessimistic in tone, both in regard to the demand for raw material and the amount of new business being done in cloths. Prices sagged in the early trading, and at the end of the first half hour were 6 to points under Wednesday.
 The market was dull and had a sagging tendency all the morning hours. The bulls offered no support and moderate volume of fresh short selling from professional traders who were taking scalping stand on the bear side was sufficient to grad ually widen the decline started on the opening. W {
 The movement for the week was some what heavier than expected. Secretary Hester making the into sight 390,i65 bales, and this aided the bear side.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February 23.-(Special)- Liverpoolswas practically unchanged while our market was closed. Bombay receipts to date exceed those of last season to date, when deficiency of 25O,000 bales at one time existed.
 Our market has presented heavy ap- pearance all day. the large movement which promises to show in sight during the first six months of the season more cotton than the spinners ever before useA in year is rather staggering. It means that the receipts for the next six monthn is the surplus to be carried over, eith in forward sales or in reserve stock
 The value of the surplus would then be determined by the prospects of the crop. for which preparations are now be- ing made. On the other hand we should naturally expect some improvement in business in America. Elsewhere in the world, judging from the high freight for ocean carriage, the amount of merchan- dist moving must be very large.
 Liverpool should decline points.

COTTON VERY QUIET
 DURING SESSION
Market Opened Steady at an Advance-Cl0se Barely
 Steady at Decline

New York, February 23.-The cotton market was quiet during the greater part of today and ruled generally lower under scattering liquidation in the ab- sence of bull support
 The close was barely steady at net decline of 1 to points on February and from to Il points on other positions. Liverpool showed little change over the holiday here and there appeared to be nothing in the general news to inspire much fresh business. The result, was that the trading here while including little foreign selling was chiefly for local ae- count.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 2 points to a decline of 1 point and the active months sold about 5 to points net lower during the first few min utes under liquidation by buyers of earlier staple In the week. Pressure seemed to be inspired by bearish cables from Liver pool to the effect that foreign spinners had pretty well covered their require ments.
 Covering checked the decline and the market rallied a few points on reports that there had been a two weeks post ponement of the British coal strike with prospects good for a settlement Of the troubles next week. The list soon turned easier again on the failure of the advance to attract a broadening demand or to de- velop any indications of support from leading bulls
 After selling off to a net loss of about 8 to 13 points there was another rally after the publication of the big splnners takings for the week, but a bulge of or points was not maintained and il closed within or 3 points from the low est on most positions. Private wires from the south claimed that while spot demand was less active there was very little change in the attitude of holders and the south seemed to be doing little in the open market either way. Spinners' talk ings for the week came very nearly estatS fishing a high record, and while the into sight movement was heavy compared with previous years, the net result of the weel; was considerable loss in the worlds visible supply of American.

BEAR|SH EFFECT ON
 WHEAT AT START
Serious Complaints of Dam- age to Winter Wheat
 Made Bulge in Prices

Chicago. February 23.-Serous com plaints of damage to winter wheat made prices today finish with a bulge. Closing figures were-iS@ssc to ss@94c higher than As hours before Corn showed a net gain iof ssm1te to tadssc. and oats lsa14c to A6ase In provisions the outcome ranged from the close of Wednesday to 1oc de- cline E
 Strength in wheat developed only after nearly full day of uncertainty and weak ness had closed. Increased world ship ments. especially from Argentina, had bearish effect at the start, and there was further. influence of similar nature in the fact that primary receipts in this country were more than double the total of year ago.
 The bulls were also discouraged by the ampleness of the moisture supply through ou. the winter wheat belt. Further cash demand, as well as the call for flour itself, sec med nearly to have vanished. Country marketings were reported much smaller in the northwest.
 Coarse grains at the same time dis played an upward tandencY and there was advices from abroad that the Ar genuine forwardings.< though much en- iarged, were not up to what had been pre- dicted It remained for millers' reports to turn the market deeisvely upward. There were details of damage by alternate freezing and thawing in. the winter wheat belt. This was in the soft winter wheat states. The range for May fluctuated from 999sc to $1 .00s4 7a .oo7s, with ptest fig ures steady at si .0os4. or an advance of $ @%c net.
 Unsettled weather and consequent poor outlook for smaller supplies caused spir- ited buying of corn. Spectators here were the most aggressive in this regard. They based their action largely on the adage that a drop of water was infini- tesimal in river of good news to develop. May ranged between 67ssc and &lsc, rising again and then closed firm 1a@ssc net higher at 6S1sc.
 Oats followed the leAd of wheat and corn. A feature vas s1the purchasing of September by country commission houses. Offerings came only, in a sparse manner.
 Upper and lower levels touched for May were 52i4c and 52ssc. with last sales 521s@ 52ssc, a gain of over 14c compared with Wednesday,
 Buying credited to packers frallied hog produces to some extent but proved in sufficient to overcome entirely weakness due to decline in the yards. In the end prices were 10c off for pork and the rest of the list not lessened over 5c.
