New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Sept 11.-Cotton-Fu lures opened steady at a decline of 5M9 points on poor cables and con- tinued rains in the Atlanties. The forecast predicted unsettled or showery weather over the entire cot ton region and was called very fav- orable. It stimulated more selling. Longs liquidated to stop losses and increased the volume of offerings. The market had very little strength in the early trading and no support except that derived from the profit taking operations of short. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were S@9 points down.
 September, 10.93c bid; October, 11.07@11.0Sc; December, 11.19@11.20c January, 1123@11.24c; March, 11.39c Lid; May, 11.49@11.51c.
 Toward the middle of the morning tae market strengthened and buying increased materially Rumors set in that some Of the largest traders !G the market were heavy buyers. The strength appeared to be based on bullish crop reports from private sources in which it was claimed tha. shedding was going on over 80 per cent of the cotton region and that tho Texas crcp was being badly damag- cd by weather conditions.
 In the afternoon the market was nervous. Prices moved to a level IA W15 points over yesterdays close, which attracted much selling on the part of the longs, who wanted to realize profits. At ? o'clock prices were 10 points down from the high est and 4@5 points over yesterdays last quotations.

Wasson Defeats Emery
 For Senator In Garland
County For Local OptiOn-Returns On State Officers
 Late.

Hot Springs, Sept. 11.-J. N. Wes- son, Democratic nominee for State senator, defeated Houston Emery. It is estimated that Bob Williams, De- mocrat. will have a majority of about 45O over Bledsoe, Republican. The county has gone for local option and the Sixth ward is again wet after having gone dry at the last election. The First ward, that was supposed to have gone dry last night, is wet al- so. Nine out of sixteen townships are still to be heard from and Bled- soc may get small majority in many of these, but could not be not be elected if he carried all by two to one. Hales friends are congratulat- ing themselves on the fact that their candidate is supposed to have got ten $1,5O0 to withdraw the day be- fore the election. Garland will not be in with the returns counted on State officers before Thursday.

Hub Perdue, the Gallatin (Tenn.) rustic who is the pitching wonder of the National league now, is a rube' right. Born in a small town, unlettered, uncouth. rather glorying in his rusticity, he has ever been a ''card."
 One day when the Cubs were in Nashville on their Spring training trip where Hub then played, Perdue walked up to Three-Fingered Brown in hotel lobby and demanded to see Browns maimed mitt
 Mordecai pushed out the mutilated hand and Hub examined it care fully.
 Well, swan he finally calculated How'd you do it?'
 Ran it in feed cutter, chopped off two fingers and broke three," said Brown laconically-for it's an old story to him.
 Perdue didn't say anything for awhile, but, reaching to his pocket, he fished out an indelible pencil and drew line across his pitching hand that corresponded to the cuts in Browns fin.
 As he walked out of the hotel brisk ly, he said. I'm going right home now and put my hand in the old mans feed cutter, I swan if I t."-At- lanta Georgian.

 Ray Collins is now one of the lead ing left-hand pitchers of the country. Collins is one of the few who have made good this season. A team that will play ten games without an error is one. worth look ing over for stars. That's what the Lincoln (Neb) team did recently.

7orty-Five to Fifty Are Much R...

The "change of life /" is most critical period in woman's ex- istence, and the anxiety felt by women as. it draws near is not without reason.
 When her system is in a de- ranged condition, she may be predisposed to apoplexy, or con- gestion of some organ. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symptoms as sense of sutfocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds ill the ears, palpitation o1 the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, vari- able appetite, weakness and inQuietude, and dizziness, are promptly needed by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected.
 These symptoms are calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be needed in time.
 Lydia B. Pinkhanl's Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life. It mvigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried many women safely through this crisis.
