COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YO2K.

NEW YORK. January 15.-The cotton
market was very quiet today, with

the whole. however. prices showed a
tendency to ease off under week lend
realizing. and after selling at 1853
early March contracts reacted to 12.47.

buying and little demand from spot
houses Offerings were not heavy. but
they were sufficient to check the up
ward movement and prices sagged off
later in the morning with May selling
down to 1858. July to 1881 and October
to 12.11. The market closed on prac-
tically this basis. The census report
! in proportion to the amount of seed
crushed appeared to create no fresh
sentiment. Private cables reported

absorbed on the advance. Reports from
the Liverpool grain trade said that
buyers and sellers were still hesitating
owing to further talk of possible inter-
vention by the British government in
the ocean freight situation, and the
possibilities in this direction are at
tracting a great deal of interest in local
cotton trade circles. The amount OF
cotton reported on shipboard awaiting
clearance at the close of the week,

market today until, almost on the close,
a small dip carried some months

The market derived some of it's steadi-

advantage because of the showing made

Fine Program Rendered but
Attendance was Excep-
tionally Poor.

The Farmers meeting and pic
mic held at Ashland junction on
Wednesday of this week was not
very largely attended by farmers
and others from Bayfield, andAsh-
land counties but the meeting
was very successful one. The
topics presented by the lectur ers
were very beneficial to the far
mers who are interested in the
best methods of growing crops.
This meeting is held annually
at a time of the year when the
farmers can have an opportunity
to see what work is being carried
on at the State experimental
farm and the topics are presented
by men who have given the
growing of crops in this region
thorough study and thought
and trial.
The program for Wednesday
was as follows:

has done a great to advertise
this region.

To Play Double Header

A strong base ball game is
promised for this city next Sun
day afternoon when the F. T.
Beers Clue of this city will cross
bats in two games with the
strong team from Phillips. The
first game will be called at
l o'clock sharp and the second
game will Immediately follow
the first.
This gives promise of being
one of the best series of games
played in the city this season.
The Phillips boys have a strong
lineup and advance information
received in the city is to the
effect that they expect to take
one and possibly two of the
games.
On the other hand the mem
bers of the F. Il. Beers Club
team say they will carry off the
honors for the day and the boys
are putting in a good deal of
time at practice work in order to
bring the team up to it's greatest
efficiency
Owing to the games lost by
the Beers team they are now
down toward the bottom of the
list in the league race but with
winning streak they will be
able to get back into the running
again.
A large number of fans will |
likely turn out to see the games
next Sunday afternoon.

The Post Office Department at
Washington have notices posted
in the post Office in this city,
stating that they are desirous of
securing new post office quarters
of sufficient size to be ample to
handle the immense business

A building of 1000 feet of floor
space and with modern heating,
lighting, etc. is desired. The
building must be equipped with
regular post office equipment,
including large safe or vault.
Since the posting Of the notices
several persons have become in
terested in securing a larger
post office and it is likely
that some one will erect a build
ing for these purposes.
Post Office Inspector Hick-
mann of Chippewa Falls will
handle all proposals and anyone
interested in putting up a build
ing for post office purposes
should get in communication
with him.

Wisconsin, Roll of Honor in the
Mexican War

On the roll of men who gave their
lives for their country in the Mexi-
can War of lS47-48 are the names
of a considerable part of youthful
Wisconsin's quota of soldiers. Near
ly third of the infantry company
that she sent to join the army of
General Scott was buried beneath
Mexico s tropical sun. Notable among
them was Capt. Gustavus Quarles,
brilliant young lawyer of Kenosha,
who fell while leading his men in a
desperate assault on the fortress of
Churubusco. On the morning of the
attack, upon his own request, Cap
tain Quarles had been assigned a
post upon the right of his regiment,
where the heaviest resistance from
the intrenched Mexicans was ex-
pected. In the charge he had pro-
ceeded part way up the slope, and
was in the act of waving his sword
to inspirit his company, when bull
let struck him down. His men con-
tinued the charge and gloriously
routed the foe, while Quarles was
borne dying to an adjacent hacienda.
Here after assuring his general that
he was proud to give his life for his
country, he expired. His body was
brought to Kenosha, where it was
inferred amid imposing ceremony.

State Supt. Breaks Leg

State Superintendent of the
Congregational churches L. FL
Keller of Madison. who has
been spending his summer
vacation in this part of the state,
met with quite serious accident
on Monday of this week while
fishing on Sioux River near this
city with Rev. 0. w. Smith OF
this city,
AS Mr.. Keller was walking
along the stream he fell over a
ledge and broke the both bones
of his ankle. Mr.. Keller was
some distance away from Mr..
Smith when the accident occurred
but Mr.. Smith heard him shout
and made his way back in that
direction. Mr.. Smith did not
think that an accident had
happened but thought that the
Superintendent might have land
ed a big fish. When Mr.. Smith
arrived Mr.. Keller was lying on
the bank with his head resting
on his fish basket. He was
carried by Mr.. Smith to the
road side and a telephone call
was put in for local doctors who
arrived on the scene twenty-five
minutes after the call was put in
and the bones were set. Mr..
Keller was taken to the hospital
at Ashland for an x ray examin-
alton and he will leave for his
home in the course of a few days.

s56,OO0 FOR
ROAD WORK
Barksdale Makes Heavy Ap-
preparations for Roads
Work will be Started This
Fall and will be Pushed
to Completion.

Take your hats off to the peo-
pie of the Town of Barksdale.
| By their action last Saturday
afternoon, when a town meeting
was held, they demonstrated to
the world that they are strictly
in favor of the good road move
ment and something will be do
ing in the Powder town before
snow flies.
The special town meeting was
held at the Town Hall in the
town last Saturday for the pur-
pose of talking over the best
ways to expend the money
which will be coming to the
town through the income tax.
The town of Barksdale will re-
ceive over $4,000 as their share
of the income tax coming FRI
the DUPONT Powder company.
The meeting was largely at
tended and was a very repre-
sentative meeting of the tax
payers of the town. Everyone
1 in attendance was in favor of
spending the greater part of
the sum on roads and the vote
finally distributed the funds as
follows:
$4,000 for use on the County
Highways.
$4,000 for use esi the Cherry
vile road.
$4,000 for use on the Enter
prise road.
$4,000 for the school fund.
The balance of the amount
will be left to the Town Officials
to spend as their best judgment
may direct.
This is sufficient money to put
the roads of the town in good
condition. The Chereyville and
Enterprise roads will be graded
and surfaced with gravel and
crushed rock while the main
county highway will be prepared
for a concrete road.
