to steadier Liverpool cables. and the
active months sold about to points
net higher during the early trading
on scattered covering and little local
bull support. Reports of further rains
in central sections of the belt may
have inspired some of the early buy
ing, but trading was very quiet. and
prices eased off a point or two before
the end of the first hour as result of
scattered realizing. A clearance of
1920 bales from Pacific ports brought
the seasons exports up to little over
the predicted S.OO0,O00 bales.
A bulge in the New Orleans market
and a few southern buying orders sent
prices here about 9 to 10 points net
higher late in the forenoon. but gem
eral business remained very quiet. and
prices were or points off from the

Which l. Better-Try an Experiment
or Profit by a Madison Citi-
zen's Experience.

Something is an experiment.
Must be proved to be as represent
ed.
The statement of a manufacturer
is not convincing proof of merit.
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now supposing you had a bad back.
A lame, weak or aching one,
Would you experiment on 1t?
You will read of many so called
cures.
Endorsed by strangers from far
away places.
It's different when the endorse
ment comes from home.
Easy to prove local testimony.

at $40 o'clock, wal derailed a mile
and one-half west of jefferson, S. ID.
None of the passengers was injured,

twenty-five miles an hour. The acct
dent was due to a defective rail.
According to Supt. l.. B. Beardsley

soon as news Of the accident was re-
ceived, the derailed cars were left
standing nearly upright. The track
was torn up for about $50 feet and

100000 MYSTERY
PRIZE OF $4,000 FOR SEQUEL
AWARDED TO A ST. LOUIS
Girl.

Madison people who witnessed the
play of The Million Dollar Mystery
at the Ruby theater will be interested
10 learn that the prize OF 10000 for
a solution of the story has been
awarded to Miss Ida Damon of st.
Louis.
The solution.
"A physician has been summoned
and il is learned that Braine lives.
Braine, Olga and Vroon are taken to
the Siberian mines to end their lives.
Hargreaye, who has been acting as
the butler for Florence's protection,
reveals his identity and embraces his
daughter. Then he joins the hands
of Florence and Norton, after which
he takes them to Florence's room
where he turns the portrait of him
self and presses a button, the back of
the portrait then opens and he places
her hand on the million dollars.
Thereafter follows the marriage of
Florence and Norton and all is hap
piness.'
In st. Louis, Mo.
Way out in the south side of the
town and in the heart of a modest
district. stands a particular apart
ment house. 1t is like hundreds of
its neighbors up and down Minnesota
avenue. 1t is two stories high, red
brick, stands on a terrace a few feet
above the street, and faces the OBJ
server with an unornamented front
that radiates rigid responsibility. The
ten steps and narrow walk are spot
less and the two white enameled
brick columns on the perchlike porch
show they have been scrubbed.
The two windows in the first apart
ment reflect the silent darkness of a
seldom used and old fashioned front
room" The shades are drawn to a
few inches below the top bar Of the
lower sash with mathematical accu-
racy. The lace curtains, primly
white, are most precisely divided.
There is the home of an old man,
his wife and their daughter, a stenog-
rapher and the mainstay of the little
four-room home. Their story is one
of the short and simple annals of the
poor. The only fortune they have
ever had was misfortune. Their sue
cess has been extremely modest.
The old folks are proud of their
dutiful daughter and hopeful for hel
two brothers, who are away from
home engaged in Independent pur-
suits.
The careful management of affairs
by the mother and the simple tastes
of the household have made life com
Portable and c~onservatively happy

of this being to pave the way toward
something more in the way of agri-
cultural extension work in this state.
The insurance department is pre-
pairing a bill which has for one OF its
purposes the depositing of securities
by surety companies with the state
treasurer instead of the insurance de-
partment as is the present require
ment. They will also attempt to re-
lieve a situation which has been
opened up as to the rights of railway
station agents in selling accident pol
icies at the ticket windows. Technic-
ally, each one of these agents is vio-
lating the state law and is subject to
a fine. But the new bill also pro-
poses TO amend the law TO exempt
such ticket agents who do not solicit
business from the taking of Ii
censes.
The Joint state affairs committee
of the senate and house have prepar-

The Independent telephone people
are trying TO decide whether or not
they want the provision of the bill to
require new telephone companies to
secure consent of the railway com
mission before beginning existence
They point out places where spite
lines have been constructed which
they say would be avoided by such
regulation. and in fact have about de
cided that so long as they are lin
il the regulation would be a good
one. But there appears to be indica.
tions of strong protests coming from
papers over the state where new pos.
sibilities in the way of telephone ex.

where they do not want any limita.

least not until some of the desired
country is covered.
The first skirmish in the senate
over the location of a new normal
school at Bonesteel was a defeat fol-
the Rosebud contingent. but the mat
ter is up for reconsideration at the
session today, when the boosters from
the southern part of the state viii
make another effort to get a state in
