Helped Sell Out City
An editorial appearing in the San
Francisco Examiner few days ago, al
legged to be an attack on Ruef and a pro-
test against the attempt to secure for
him parole, is cited as justification for
the appearance Of the autobiography at
this time. The first installmeut opens
with the following statement under
Ruef's signature:

Movement TO Bring Ger
man Colony Here.

Editor Enterprise Recorder:
wish TO say u you. readers
that Rev Avnd- a Lutheran
minister in charge Of a Church
in Cincinnati. Ohio, Is row in oar
midst trying to get options on all
the land he can with a view to
going actively to work to bring
German-American farmers into
this County.
Some OF our most prominent
citizens. as well as myself. have
talked with Mr.. Arndt and we
feel that there is good reason to
believe that he may be able to do
us a great deal of good in this
way, and to encourage him in
this work we have given him the
option he asked on OUR LANDS.
If Mr.. Arndt can get enough
options to justify him in doing
so, he will give all his time to
trying to get his German friends
and acquaintance to move into
this County. | sincerely hope
that everyone who has land to
sell will give him the option on
it FOR as long time a, possible,
50 as TO give him the fullest OPP
portunity to accomplish his pur-
pose.
If Mr.. Arndt can Go what he
hopes to do. in my humble judy
r.ent, the future of Madison will
be one Of substantial growth and
development, The Germans as
a rule are industrious and thrifty
and make the most substantial
kind Of citizens, and we will
make no mistake in trying to in
duce them to come here to live.
| believe enough in Mr.. Arndt
and his proposed work to have
agreed to cooperate with him in
this work, and to sell him an in
terest in my business when he is
ready to buy.
If you have property you are
to put on the market at a
fair price, call at my Office and
give Mr.. Arndt an option on it.

 All day yesterday the members of the congregation here were busy re- ceiving and welcoming their guests and getting them placed in the home that has been prepared for them dur ing the remainder of the week.

 The opening was steady at de cline of five to seven points in sym pathy with disappointing cables bat prices worked up to practically the final figures of yesterday during the few minutes on over night buying crders and a renewal of bull sup port
 There was a great deal of cotton for sale on this advance however and the market soon weakened under foreign selling, larger offerings from the south, continued liquidation and local pressure
 Reports of an easier turn in the southern spot situation appeared to have unsettled the confidence of re- cent buyers and before midday the market showed a net loss of from II to 19 points.

 The bulge soon revealed the pres ence of further selling orders and the market later developed renewed weakness, with offerings very active and general in the late trading, when prices broke into new low ground for the day. selling about p to 2S points net lower.
