NERVOUS MARKET
 CLOSES AT GAIN
After Irregular Day Market Steadies, and Close Shows 16- to 25 Point Advance COmpar-
 ed Final Figures Wednesday.

New York, Sept. 30-The cotton market was extremely nervous today, with fluctuations irregular, as though the trade was hesitating between the |reactionary views responsible for the sharp break of yesterday afternoon and apprehensions that the severe storm reported in the South would lead to a further sharp scaling down of crop estimates. January contracts sold up to 12.44c and back to 12.17c, after which they rallied again to about 1240c, and finally closed at 12.31c, with the general list barely steady though last prices showed net gains of from 16 to 25 points, as com pared with the final figures of We'd 'nesday.
 The Market opened firm at an ad- vance of 13 to "A points on the rela- lively firm cables, but there were a lot of overnight selling orders around the ring and prices quickly broke some 10 or 12 points from the open ing figures, under liquidation. The Southern storm news, however, indi- cated that the disturbance had been of unusual severity and seemed to be bringing in lot of buying orders on which the market soon rallied. Many recent sellers for a reaction appeared to be covering on the advance, which carried prices 26 to 36 points net higher during the middle of the morn ing, with December selling up to 12.2Sc and March to 12.71c.
 At this level demand seemed to ta- per off and a sharp break followed a report from the Weather Bureau in- dicating that the Southern storm was losing intensity as it moved north ward, and reports that an American vessel had been sunk abroad. De- cember sold off to 12.03c and March to 12.40c on this break, but later ad- vices indicated that the sinking of the ship near Archangel was not likely to cause international complications and the rally was aided by bullish Southern spot advices and the heavy rainfall shown in districts near the storm center by the detailed weather reports.
 A rally of IS to 23 points was fol- lowed by renewed irregularity with last prices some 12 or 13 points off from the best. Two private crop re- ports were published, one making the condition 62.5 and the other 62 per cent.
 Cotton closed barely steady.

DELEGATION APPEAL
 TO GOVERNOR
Montgomery County Citizens Continue County Seat Fight WombIe Seeking to Remove Election Commissioners.

Little Rock. Oct. 1.-Another large delegat tion of Montgomery county cit izens appeared before Gov. Hays afternoon to argue for and against the removal of the election commissioners. It is a continuation of the county seat fight that has been becoming very warm between Mt. Ida and Womble. In a recent election Mt. Ida defeated Womble, on the face of the returns, by 21 votes but the Wom- ble advocates have presented the coun- ty judge with a petition signed by 11S2 names, requesting that new election be called. Only about 700 are required.
 Womble is now seeking to have the Commissioners, l.. L. Beavers of Mt. Ida. T. c. Masongill of Ouachita, and John T. Middleton of Black Springs, removed, for cause, while Mt. Ida in- sists that no cause exists. Among the spokesmen for Womble are O. O. Womble, I. L. Autrey, H. H. Thomas n. w. Rowton and J. w. Johnson. Mt. Ida is represented by Earl Witt and l.. l.. Beavers, and there are about twenty other citizens present.

CIRCUIT CLERKS NOT
 SURE OF OFFICE
Act of 1888 Requires Filing of BOnd--Never Been Enforced Montgomery County Official RemOved-19 File Bond.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-The circuit clerks of the state are in a quandary. About fifty-fve of them are not sure of their offices, according to the ten tative opinion that has been reached by the governor. It is contended that the clerk of Montgomery county has forfeited his office because of his fail ure to file the bonds required by stat ute. The Act of 1888 requires the cir cult clerk to file bond not exceeding S15,000, which shall be recorded by the. county clerk and filed with the Secretary of State, until this year when there were nineteen filed. The Pulaski county clerks have not filed the bonds in twnty-fve years.
 According to the records of the Sec retary of States office, the circuit clerks of the following counties have filed their bonds; Craighead, Critten- den, Desha, Garland, Hampstead, Hot Springs, Howard, Independence, Izard Jefferson, Lonoke, Mississippi, New ton, Ouachita, Perry, Pulaski, Sebas- tian, Sharp, and St. Francis.
 Many others are inquiring about the situation, to ascertain if their offices are in jeopardy, and other bonds are being received.
 Tt is my opinion" said Secretary of State Hodges, that no vacancy is caused by the failure of the circuit clerks to file their bonds with the Sec retary of State.

What She Owed Them.

The three young Borden children were visiting their Grandma Borden, and the occasion was one of great merriment for them. After while it proved a trifle too noisy for grandma, and she said reprovingly.
 Good gracious children, why are you so noisy today? Can't you try and be a little more quiet? You are making my head ache"
 "Now, grandma" said little six year-old Dorothy, "you mustn't scold us. You see, if it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be a grandma at all."

WILLIE Richie
ALL SET FOR co
WITH THE CHAMP
Hopes to Regain the Title BY
a Knockout TOnight-BOth
Men Have Slowed Up Since
Last Bout.
Rv w :. Farnsworth.

NEW YORK March IL - Nlllle
Richie former lightweight cham
piOn OF the world, hopes TO regain the
title by a knockout Thursday night
when he meets Freddie Welsh in a
f0-rOund battle at Madison Square
garden. Willie's one and only hope of
re-annexing the crown is in landing
a knockout blow.
If the mill goes the limit there
seems TO be little chance of the Cali
fOrnian coming out in front. Welsh
is the most marvellous defensive light
weight that ever lived. He counters
and then either blocks sidesteps or
ducks any offering from the Opposi-
ton.
Welsh undoubtedly is not as good
now as he was when he won the title
from Richie on July I last year, in
London. But I doubt if Willie is as
good as he was then either. He still
packs the same old wallOp. but in the
few workouts 1 have seen him in
action the past ten days ne looks aw-
fully slow.
Willie believes he is going to stop
Freddie. He declares that he has a
bunch that ne is going to win by
knockout. And he is confident. He
declares he will go after the English
man from the very start and never
stop faying away with both hands.
Welsh will find me hitting harder
and straighter than when he was
presented with the title Richie told
me Wednesday night. I'll force the
pace so fast and hard that he will
tire along about the seventh or
eighth round. And when he tires his
guard will surely lower. 1t is then
that l intend to send over the knock
out punch that will give me back the
title 1 was robbed of in London"
From Oceanport, Welsh telephOned
me late Wednesday afternoon:
Il am going to prove to New York
fight fans that l clearly defeated
Ritchie for the title If there is any
knockout il will be yours truly who
will land the blow. L made Richie
dog it in London and I'll do it again
Thursday night too"
This bout is really a championship
affair although the men are making
1875 pounds at o'clock in the aft
ernoOn. If Richie stops Welsh he
will be proclaimed the title holder
But Welsh will most certainly claim
in case he is knocked out that it
wasn't at the lightweight limit
Still Ritchie will be looked upon as
the real champion if he accomplishes
his hunch.
1t will be a grudge affair. Welsh
has never forgotten how he was
forced to fight for nothing, not even
training expenses for the struggle
that won him the crown. And
Richie will never believe otherwise
than he was ''jObbed" out of the
championship.
Promoter Jimmy Johnston expects
a $4,000 house. In fact it looks as
though every seat in the massive
stadium Will be sold before sunset.

Soups Answer Emergency Needs.

''The larder is not well filed which
does not contain liberal supply Of
some form of soup stock"
That is what Nellie E. Maxwell Of
the Wisconsin Farmers institute staff
has told many busy housewife who
has asked her for easier ways Of pre-
pairing a hurried meal.
A good bowl of soup, although made
hurriedly from commercial "stock,"
helps make even a scant meal more
complete and satisfying.
Commercial soups come in cubes or
in extract form, condensed and sea-
soned to nicely, or else in small cans
quite reasonable In price. There are
several well known, guaranteed brands
OF soups for sale. Among the varie-
ties may be mentioned chicken, beef,
mock turtle, mulligatawny, fish and
vegetable. The better brands of these
soups are highly recommended by
food specialists and should be kept on
hand by all thrifty housewives.
