OBITUARY
MRS. EVE SALISBURY

Mrs. Eve Salisbury was born in
Ohio December Is, 1928, and died
at the home of her son Frank in
this city February l3, 1915, at the
age of ninety-one years.
She was married to William SAILS
bury in 1916. Fifty-seven years ago
they moved to this part of Wiscon-
sin and settled on the farm in Mann
Valley, just across the road from
the DR.. Vannatta farm, now owned
by Mr.. Cernohous. Five children
were born to them: Mrs. Rebecca
Goodsell of Centralia, Wash, Mary
and Henry, deceased, Frank and
Mrs. Josephine Campbell of this
city.
Her husband die d forty-nine
years ago, and was laid at rest in
little cemetery at the edge of the
farm. For twenty years she had
kept house for her son Frank in
River Falls, and all who knew her
say she did it we'll.
Nine years ago her sight failed
her gradually until it left her blind.
Since then she had been terderly
cared for by her son Frank and
daughter, Mrs. Campbell. With an
affection which would have daunted
a less courageous spirit, she never
gave up her interest in any of the
affairs of Der h m nor of her
friends, and, until few weeks ago,
w h e her magnificent physical
strength failed, she insisted upon
washing the dishes and doing other
little household duties. Her won
derful mind retained it's strength
until the last moment.
She was a woman of strong char
acter, faithful to her family and
friends, and all of her neighbors,
although of younger generation,
always enjoyed a visit with Grand
ma Salisbury.

PRINT CLOTH YARN DECLINES IN PRICE Considerable Hesitancy in Cotton Goods Market.
 Forced Selling

New York. May 15.-Considerable hesi- tancy in trading developed in primary cotton goods market due to political un- certainties and to the decline in cotton. Because of forced selling from second hands values in some wide convertibles or print cloth yarn construction declined but mill agents and manufacturers are offering very few goods and are content to await developments while filling the substantial contracts in hand Secondary and retail markets have manifested but little haltng and the movement of mer- chandise is steady and larger than a year ago. Fine preached cottons are well sold Managers of finishing companies and .colored goods mills are again expressing grave anxiety about the dye stuffs out look. The export trade in cotton duck continues large and despite very light domestic trade duck mills as d whole are well employed. Wash goods and white goods continue active and fine cloths are being ordered in fancy weaves for the new spring season. A substantial business has been done in 40-inch sheet ings and osnaburgs for bagging pur- poses to replace burlaps. Ginghams are being offered by some houses to the manufacturing trades for next spring and fair sized orders are being booked. The demand for hosiery and underwear for immediate use is better and fall specified tons are coming in more freely. Prices In several instances are nominal, quota tions being as follows; Print cloths, es- inch 64x64's, 3kc; 64x6Os, 31sc; sS1a-inch tix6fs, 414c; brown sheetings, southern standards. 6ia-cent; denims, oz., 13c; tickings. oz.. 1113 cents; prints Be staple ginghams. SAC; dressed ginghams, s.4 cents.

SPIRITED RALLY
 IN STOCK MARKET War Specialties Most Vari- able, Advancing and
 Receding

New York, May 15.-Stocks rallied more or less spiritedly today from their weakness of the preceding ses- sion, when quoted values crumb1ed mainly from apprehension engendered by increasing tension in international affairs Improvement was manifest at the outset and further progress was made during the first hour, the range of gains extending from to points
 War specialties were most variable, recovering a material part of yester- days losses, but yielding to pressure again toward the end of todays short session. The most reassuring feature of today's movement was it's modera- tion, trading at no time getting out of hand or evidencing any of the fever ishness which marked recent recover les.
 Conditions in the steel industry have thus far been unaffected by the inter- national situation and other trade re- ports point to steady improvement, particularly in the west and south west.
 Bonds moved forward with stocks. but trading in that quarter was far be- low recent averages. Total sales. par value amounted to s9S0.o00.

respects. For instance, the standard" I keyboard has 26 letters and in most | cases about a dozen keys devoted to l figures and punctuation marks, while | the new machine has 4200 characters in all and only three keys.
 One of the three keys is a back spaoer, another the space key, and the third is the key with which the 420U characters are struck. It is possib le, according to the inventor, to make more than 1900 characters by combina- tions of radicals" or base characters. About oO.0OO characters can be made hy the machine, the inventor says.
 That stenographers ambitious to operate the new typewriter will find their task little difficult at first at least. was indicated by the fact that l. required two hours to write the fir st letter typed by the machine. This let ter was written recently and contained approximately 100 words, but the oper- ator was unfamiliar with the 4200 key S. sterographers of this city who do not work in export or import houses deal ing with China, however. are not apt to be called On to memorize the new keyboard for sometime
 The machine Is said to be the first Chinese typewriter ever invented Heuen Chi, the student inventor, dem onstrated the method by which the ibdShihc WoIhtu dt HIS noIue al 4iJ West One Hundred and Fiftieth street He conceived the idea that type writer could be made to write Chinese while he was at his home in southern China three years ago. he said. He began a study of the Chinese diction- ary at once to isolate the radical" or lase characters of the words. In most cases one character represents a whole word In Chinese though, according to Heuen Chi, thousands of these char acters are made up of simple char acters which alone represent words themselves. He continued studying the forms of the language during year and half he spent at London univer- sity and began work on his typewriter
 Heuen came to this country as a government student and. on tnr prompting of the Chinese officials who had become interested in his scheme, took up the study of engineering at New York university and continued to work on the invention. He completed the model a short time ago and has patented 1t in this country, China and Japen. for 1t also writes Japanese which, he said, is quite similar to Chi nese.
 Consul General Y Y. Yang. who rep resents the Chinese republic in ttls city. took a great interest In the new device and made a close examination of 1t yesterday. when he wrote a let ter on it 10 the Chinese minister in Washington. This was the first letter
 written on the machine.

Row Over "Faustn Sone

From the New York World
 c. Mortimer. Wiske, director of the Newark festival chorus and of the Pa : terson musical festival, has resigned from the Anti-Saloon league of New Jersey. The resignation follows an at tack made by the American Issue, a temperance paper published by the league in Newark, on the wark chorus, which is to give the drinking song from Faust"
 Samuel Wflsoi, author of the article. which was headed ''Wiske's Chorus to Sing Whisky's Praises" advised all de- cent people to withdraw from the chorus and to boycott it. The Amer ican Issue quotes these verses of the crinking song:
 Red or white liquor coarse or fine, What can 1t matter, so we have wire i; What if the vintage be great or small Your jolly old topper drinketh it all
 Young girls ancient castles,
 They are all the same;
 Old towns. dainty maidens,
 Are all alike our game
 For the hero, brave and tender,
 Makes of both his prey;
 Both to valor must surrender,
 And ransom pay"
 MT. wiske says a prominent Newark clergyman has also resigned from the league.
 If I eliminated Faust I should be ridiculed throughout the country" hs said. Ministers and their wives and caughters have sung in my choruses before thousands and this is the first criticism I have heard"

move infested chickens to new area and thus spread the trouble.
 Coccidioss is quite common and is usually fatal. Chicks from a poor breed- ing stock are very susceptible.
 Symptoms-Drowsiness stunted growth. common diarrhoea A post mortem shows the cacca or blind intestine enlarged hardened ard often of hrownish color The liver is covered with yellow spots or particles. This disease Is similar to black head in turkeys and no cure is known Treatment calls for prevention by the use of strong vigorous breeders and thor ough disinfection of the breeders with one part crude carbolic acid to three of kero- sene or the use of any good. strong dis. injecting material. Give plenty of sour
 a ,.. null or buttermilk from the first feeding.
 White diarrhoea-Many forms of bowel trouble are often mistaken for this fatal disease The baciliary white diarhoea is usually inherited from the breeding stock, the germs are found in the ovaries of the hens and are transmitted to the chicks. many of whom die at less thaba 10 days of age.
 Symptoms, dropping wings, listless at titude thick, pasty discharge and a wasting away of the body.
 Treatment-Liberal use of sour milk. Some poultrymen use a fountain pen filler and force feed into the chick before they are old enough to be taken from the in- cubator. This trouble can be somewhat avoided by rigid selection and proper care of the breeders.
 Mody feeds and moldy litter are res sponsible for much of the mortality among fowls and especially young chicks The mold dust from the litter is inhaled through the lungs. while mold in feed Is taken In through the digestive organs Symptoms-The bird Is inactive and sleepy and stands around with the wings hang ing down. The breathing Is rapid, with a tendency to catarrh, and the chicken has little disposition to eat. The excrement is usually white. post mortem will show soft yellowish growths in the lungs and sometimes in the intestines. These are in size from a pnhead to pea.
 There is no known cure. This is case calling for prevention by the use of only clean. sweet food and using litter free from mold. and keping the yards well spaded or planted to some green food.
 The best and cheapest tonics are pure air, pure water, wholesome food plenty of exercise and sanitary surroundings. Most of the commercial feeds are very good Tn buying them avoid those with

REACTION FOLLOWS
 A SHARP ADVANCE
New York Cotton Closes Steady at a Net
 Advance

New York. May i5.--A sharp early lowed by moderate reactions during today's trading but the close was steady and from to II points net higher.
 A more optimistic view of the po- litical situation seemed to be chiefly responsible for the firmer tone of the early market. Relatively steady ca bles and encouraging reports from the dry goods trade also contributed to points higher active months sold about 15 to IT points above lost nights closing figures. The demand. how ever, appeared to be chiefly in the way of covering by shorts for over the eek-end. while fresh buying was restricted by the favorable weather rews. and as soon as the demand ta- percd off, prices turned easier under scattered realizing.
 After the heavy liquidation of the past week, offerings were by. no means heavy or general, but there was a lit- tie more cotton for sale at the close and last prices showed reactions of 6 to [ points from the best. General business remained very quiet. Some of the late selling may have been based upon a report from travelling crop expert indicating favorable crop pros pects in northern Louisiana and cell tral Mississippi ano the favorable showing of the weather map inspired further predictions that the govern ment's first condition report due early next month would indicate good start for the crop. Manchester cables said there had been no improvement in the goods trade, but that a better demand was expected from China as result of the settlement with Japan. Fall River sales of print cloths for tn , week were estimated at a5,ooO pieces, against 115.000 last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, May 15.- Special. Oliver pool paid little attention to the decline in our market. being more impressed by the amount of cotton forwarded to English spinners It Is evident that the demand for cotton and cotton goods for war purposes in England is keeping up the consumption of cotton on a high level. Here the market closes 10 to II points higher with the tone steady in answer to the advance abroad and the better tone in Wall street.
 There is. however. little disposition to trade at the moment and we think the short interest still exists, expecting adverse diplomatic advices. From the trade reports it is apparent that the movement toward increased activity in all lines of business continues unabated.

PRESSURE
 GREAT ON WHEAT Government Report as to Hessian Fly Damage
 Affects Market

Chicago, May 15.--Suggestions from gov ernment sources at Washington imply ing that Hessian fly damage did not as yet warrant the general blowing up of injured fields. resulted today in muci, selling pressure on wheat. The effect however, was partly overcome by week end evening of trades. Closing prices were unsettled at 1c decline to ssc ad- vanced, compared with last night. Corn gained ls@ssc net; oats finished 4c off and provisions wound up unchanged to 15c higher.
 Price changes in corn reflected for the most part the fuectuation of the wheat market.
 Oats felt the pressure of hedging sales against purchases to arrive.
 Provisions ascended with hogs. Shorts and packers were on the buying side
