A WANDERERS STRANGE STORY OF HIS
SEARCH FOR HIS WIFE

In Clark street, next door. to the
Grand Opera House, is a saloon own

typifes the Bohemian spirit of Chi

when the bar was lined with attor-

He was a strange contrast to the
ight-hearted men that lined the bar.
His every step told of infinite weaTi-
ness. He looked sadly out of place.
He crept rather than walked towards
the bar -.,..j
Members of the party nearest him

1t was rather a surprise for the one
that extended the invitation. The
man, from his appearance, looked
like one of the many panhandlers
that work Clark street And his po-
lite refusal made him look so much
finer AND bigger. The party at his
side stopped their jesting and paid
more attention to him. There was
look in his eyes like that which comes
into the eyes of a splendid animal
that had been hurt by its master,
In some mysterious manner one of
the party managed to draw him out.
He probably needed some one to talk
to. And he told a strange story.
'Pm forty-fve years DID," he said.

1900 BALES OF COTTON RECEIVED
Staple Is Rolling in Rapidly, But
Scarcely Amy Is Sold.

Local warehousemen have receiv-
ed 1000 bales of cotton, and the sta
pie is rolling in from the farms by
the wagon loads every day. The
receipts at Parrott, BronwoOd and
Sasser are also large, and it is esti-
mated that nearly one-fourth Of the
crop has been gathered.
There continues to be no market,
and the farmers seem determined to
hold their cotton rather than sacri-
flee it at the small price the mills
are Offering, which is not above Z
cents for the best grades.
Of the 1000 bales that have been
brought to Dawson not more than
25O have been sold, and some of this
went on guano debts at 10 cents a
pound.
