has a voting address at 1923 Lister

three other homes with {. wife and
children In each.
Mr.. Fear, it appears, was not con-
stituted in harmony With his name
when It came to the marriage prob.
len, SO he became Mr., Near and took
to himself another wife. Two being
not enough, it is declared he became
Mr.. Dear for the purpose CT wedding
another. The last report says that
the latest bride is Mrs. Beer. These
alleged and wrathful wives are Mrs
Josephine Fear, Mrs. Mnry Near,
Mrs. Susan Dear and Mrs. Martha
Beer.
1t is alleged that Fear, who is C5
years old. has % children by his four
wives, 10 Fears, Nears, 2 Dears

OPENING UP OF TRAFFIC WITH
THE WEST HELPS BUSINESS
WONDERFULLY.

Business is gradually getting better
on the b. and 0. Since traffic has
been opened up across the river the
company is able TO send out the east
crn shipments and more men are be-
ing given employment and the old
employees are making more time than
they did previous to the flood.
The railroad men are not complain
ing much. While the shipments from
the west are not heavy the coal opera
tors are taking advantage Of the op.
portunity and are filling all orders as
rapidly as they can. This gives tho
freight men employment and enables
the company to give the men more
time.

THE AUSTIN CONCERT.

Music lovers gathered in numbers at the Park hotel pavilion last night to greet Miss Florence Austin, vio- linist. whose entertainment, under the auspices of the ladies society Of the First Baptist church, was the musical treat of the season. To say that Miss Austin is rarely talented in her art. is mildly expressing the splendid capabilities of this virtuoso. Her renditions were from the most difficult classics, and in these she put both the gift of the composer and the finish of the technical follower of the famous artists. Particularly her rendition of the "SIumber Song, by Weitzel, and Zigennerweisen, by Sarasate, were pleasing, and she an swered enthusiastic encores. She was accompanied by Miss Marion Austin at the piano, and this young lady also has talent that entities her to a place in the ranks Of artists Of exceptional ability.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Jan 2S-While some what irregular the cotton market made a generally steady showing to- day and closed steady with last prices showing net gains of from 3 to points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of five to six points in re- sponse to better cables than due but yesterdays late break evidently had made considerable impression on local sentiment and the appearance of near monshs selling orders in the hands of leading spot brokers seem ed partly responsible for renewal of local bear pressure and scattering liquidation Prices eased off in con- sequence with the near months rela- lively weak, and shortly after the opening January showed a net loss of about ten points, while March was four points lower and later months were around the closing figures of yesterday.
 Private cables from Liverpool att tributed ihe relative firmness there to American buying and small offer ings. NzEIl
 Some complaints are coming in from the southwest of delayed farm work as result of wet weather but many consider that these are offset by the fact that abundant winter rainfall is supposed to be putting a good season in the ground

 Jefferson Davis. president of the Casual.
