HIDDEN LIFE REVEALED.
Former ottumwa Woman Lived Under
Assumed Name For Fifty Years.

Ottumwa,, Dec. 14.--4As strange as a
fiction tale is the life of Miss Rachel
Cook, known for nearly half a century
to friends in Ottumwa as Miss Belle
r Hamilton. whose death at an adj
vanced age in EImira, N. T., last
spring led to the investigation that mas
! revealed her hidden life. The work of
the administrator appointed by the
court to settle her estate, has brought
forth many unknown things in tins lie
of the Ottumwa woman. whose manner
of living during her long residence here
was very quiet and whose habits were
most economical.
Instead Of being almost pennlless 1t
is expected the efforts OF Administrator
r. C. Loofnis will reveal she has left
an estate of about $4,000.
The visit Of John +. Cook from
Pennsylvania to Ottumwa some time
ago and his claim TO relationship, to
Miss Hamilton, led the administrator
10 make a trip east to learn what he
could about the life Of the woman be-
fore she came to Ottumwa. He has UNI
earthed the fact that Miss Hamilton
was really Miss Rachel Cook. and that
despite the fact that she WAS supposed
to have no relatives she has many
claiming relationship i'll Pennsylvania
from where II has been learned. she
came to Ottumwa In 1870.
Upon coming to this city forty-fve
years ago, she was employed by the
old Johnston Runler Company az Miss
Belle r. Hamilton and for twenty
years Was genxa1sd in testing sewing
machine attachments made by this
firm- ForImany years she led a,retired
life, being too old TO do any active
work For several years she lived with

New Orleans, May 31.-Cotton fell 10 new low levels for the present down ward movement in the trading last week but bears were not aggressive Q and it was quite generally considered that the market was oyersold. Strong periods appeared to be the result of realizing of profits on the short side. At the lowest the trading months wer. Sl to 35 points under the previous weeks last quotations. The close was at a net loss of 20 to 25 points.
 The main bearsh influences at work were the unfayorable showing of the statistical position. seizures of Amer :can cotton by England, growing un- easiness over financial conditions abroad and favorable reports from the new crop. The large short interest ex- isting appeared to be the main req son which the decline was not wider.
 This week the trade expects the market to be influenced one way or the other by the German reply to the American note on the Lusitania and clifton of the crop. Condition figures expectations quite generally are bear ish. The consensus of opinion here is that the condition of the crop on May 25 will be near so per cent of normal as against TAB year ago, when the largest crop on record was raised.
