Should Get Wise.

If State Forester Griffith is wise. he
will not give any more interviews "a
bout forests being needed to protect
the state against floods. His statements
have brought to the front some very
able thinkers and writers who are pro-
wing beyond a doubt that the floods
have actually been diminished by the
cutting down OF the forests and the cul
tivation of the lands. Ard one eminent
writer and professor in Yale where
Mr.. Griffith was educated. has quoted
from history that when Pennsylvania
was virgin forest, the floods were
greater in that section than they are to
day. Chippewa Independent.

McKERROW HITS THE
SPIKE.

At the market conference at Chicago
recently the statement was made that
Wisconsin was at the top of the list in
mortgaged farms. 1t was then that

told them that Wisconsin was at the
bottom of the list as to rented farms,

Horsepower of a Lightning Flash.

The "horsepower" of a bolt Of light
ming which struck a house In Hesse
last summer has been calculated by a
German scientist at no less than So

the fact that the lightning instantly
melted two large nails An electric
current OF 200 amperes and 10000
volts might. it is said. have accom-
plished the work in one second, but
the lightning did it in very small

Arrelsford (impersonated by Herman

"Secret Service" is a thrilling story
of the war of the Rebellion, in which
a Union secret service officer, detailed
to special work within the Confederate
lines, is forced to decide between love
and duty in the hour of action. Cap
tain Thorne, Confederate officer, is
really Paul Dumont, famous United
States secret service man. In the
course of his service as Confederate
officer in Richmond he meets and falls
in love with Edith Varcay, the beau
!tiful daughter Of a Confederate gen

hand finds reason to suspect Thorne
and so tlghtens the net of suspicion
against him until it is practically
proof. Between love of the cause and
love of Thorne, iL,:ith Varney holds to
the latter. By means of his honorable
conduct and personal valor, Thorne
clears himself of discriminating charges
and wins the respect of his Confeder.

Back in the sixties. When the Union
Pacific was being built and the rails
had been laid only as far as Laramie. a
certain train one day arrived at that
point. Among the. passengers who
alighted to take the coach westward
was a young man whose dress might
be considered faultless were it not
rather in the line of the actor Of that
period. He wore "a checkerboard suit
and cravat of a bright blue hue tied
i'm a knot resembling the expanded
wings Of butterfly. Els face was
clean shaven, and his hair was cut
short. In his shirt front be wore q
diamond stud that flashed in the sun
light. Five feet six inches was his
height. AS 10 his weight. that was
not to be determined except on the
scales, for clothes We're worn baggy in
those days, and the gentleman's ap-
pareI was cut in the height of fashion.

former as Johnny. Bill was a heavy
set man, plainly dressed and unassum-
ing in his demeanor He deferred to
his slighter companion in some ways
and assumed authority over him in
others. For instance. meeting a chill
wind from the mountains he suggested
to Johnny that he put on his overcoat.
Johnny objected on the ground that he
was already too warm, whereupon Pill
ordered him in no uncertain tone to
do as he directed and the little fellow
obeyed him instantly. i5[

NEW ORLEANS COTTON REVIEW.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON REVIEW.
New Orleans, La, Jan. 4.-The cot
ton futures market this week closed
at a net rise OF 8 to IL points. me
undertone Of the market was good ano
bullish influences were quick TO take
effect although trading was at no tune
active and the range OF prices was
narrow. The high prices were mace
on Friday and the low prices on Mon
day. At the highest the traoing
months were % to q points over lasi
weeks close; at the lowest they were
3 to 5 points under. The range was
% to 81 points.
With New Years coming on Wed
nesday the market was inactive the
first two days Of the week. AFTER the
holiday there was much gossip con-
corning a squeeze in the New Iork
spot market and this caused buying Tor
both accounts with h result that
prices went to the highest Levels Oh
the week.
The offset to bullish influences was
the sentiment regarding the coming
census report on ginning. m
we're high. the first figures putting the
amount OF cotton ginned during the
period at $4,000 bales. or over 1O0,-
900 bales more thar bulls claimed for
the output. Later in the week bear
ish estimates we're considerably scaled
down.
The statistics of the week attracted
much attention. Mill takings and eX-
ports were much larger than expect
ed, while the into sight was small and
the visible supply showed the first de-
crease since the crop commenced to
move in volume. Takings for the week
were $4,000 bales. against 345, zoe this
week last year and $4,000 this week
two years ago. The visible supply
| showed q decrease Of 1898 bales for
the week. against an increase this week
| last year Of 69,7O9 bales.
The into sight for the week was
397,41S bales. against 481.655 a year
ago. Exports for the week were 1885,
1S9 bales, against 193,605 last year and
they brought the total exports of the
season up to 5.329,171, against $685.
go bales a year ago. when they broke
all records for this time OF the year.
In the spot department prices gained

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York, Jan. 3.-General busi-
ness remained very quiet In the cot
ton market during the past week. Our
considerable excitement n nervous
ness developed in connection with Jan
uary contracts which made new hign
records for the season. The local fu-
lures market has been ruling consider
ably under a parity with actual cotton
in the South, with the stock available
here q comparatively small one n
after leading trade interests had &C
cepted January deliveries Of about 90
900 bales shorts evidently became IN
easy. An effort to cover found very
little cotton Offering and before more
than $4,000 bales could be secured, the
price was forced above the Is cent
level for the first time since the pres
ent crop began to nov in any Olume
Later months responded only moder-
ately to the January strength and at
the close of business tonight were still
selling about Is to 80 points below the
high level Of December. ASIDE from
the furry in January no fresh feature
of Importance has presented itself dur
ing the week, and speculative interest
has evidently been restricted by holi-
day considerations or conflicting opln-
ions about the general outlook.
Private ginning figures published
during the week ave pointed to a
census report next Friday Of around
1880, 600 to Il. 10000 bales ginned
to January list. Liverpool has report
ed a better demand from the CONT
nent.
