Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February 15.-Our cables from Liverpool state that the govern ment has imposed further restrictions upon that market regarding the importa- tion of cotton We understand through other sources that others are told the probabilities that the entire import of cotton into the allied countries will pass under the supervision of the government of Great Britain. It was these in- fluences which affected the market to- day, houses with Liverpool connections were buying to close out arbitrage trans- actions while the buyers of the past few days were slowly selling out their pur- chases. March was firm relatively with the other months, as cotton was bought to replace cotton caught in the freight embargoes throughout the country.

The weakness in the market was further accentuated by ca- bles from Liverpool, saying all trading there would hereafter be confined to cash transactions, and that the British govern ment would restrict imports to food stuffs and munitions. It looks as If no improvement in prices may be expected until Washington gets out of the letter writing habit and tells somebody where to head in and back out"

DARING HIGHWAYMAN
 CAUSING POLICE WORRY
Several Victims Dead from Chrushed Skulls and Others Danger ously Hurt-Apparently Used Large Sedge Hammer-op
 crates Early in Night-Police Have No Clue

A daring and brutal murderer and
 robber, operating in the early hours of
 the night, is gradually growing to be d
 menace to the city, and unless some prompt progress is made to check his actions a serious problem will be con
 fronted For the past month an un-
 known negro man has been waylaying,
 then assaulting and robbing his victims after he had knocked them Into a sense
 less condition.
 The negro has continued his practice lin the city for the past month. He
 guards his actions so closely that not
 the slightest clue has been left to trace
 the crime. He works in the hours when
 people who are on the streets would
 least suspect being assaulted and robbed,
 especially in the midst of residences and
 traffic.
 The climax of the negro's rampas4e
 came last night when two negroes died at the Hillman hospital from blows in-
 flicted by some blunt instrument on the back of the head, causing a fracture of
 the skull.
 LIST OF VICTIMS The negro's victims are as follow:
 w. C.. Geers, white, 2524 Thirteenth avenue, north, assaulted and robbed at Tenth alley and Twenty-sixth street, north, on January 27 at o'clock; died tat Hillman hospital on February l. No arrest made for murder. T. c. McIver, white, 1900 Twenty-f fifth street, north, assaulted and robbed at Eleventh alley and Twenty fourth street, north, on February at 7:15 o'clock D. m Will recover.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 15.-The cotton market was a prey to unfavorable ru- mors today, most of which appeared to have only slight foundation in fact. Brokers generally considered that the gossip of the day had an effect all out Of proportion to it's value. Thus in the early trading there was a rumor that Germany had declared war on this coun- try; later on reports were circulated that England had prohibited trading In cotton futures. From the lowest prices of the session prices were 25 to 37 points under the close of yesterday. Last prices were at a net loss of IS to B points.
 Poor cables and uneasiness over inter national politics opened the market at lower levels, prices losing about $1 a bale in the early trading. The rumor regard ing war increased the uneasiness. Around the middle of the morning the market steadied when it was found that the war rumor was without truth, but the period of steadiness did not last long after it was persistently reported that England had put a ban on future trad- ing. except to close out old trades. Real weakness followed the additional report that for the time being England would restrict imports to foodstuffs and muni- tions of war.
 The lowest levels were reached in the early afternoon and toward the close the market recovered a few points, winding up for the day with steady tone as the result of covering by scalping shorts and the conclusion by the trade that the Liv- erpool rumors were simply the result of an order issued sometime ago by the British government seeking to suppress outside participation in cotton trading.

wheat and found that he could
make more from it by allotlng 1T

a person. 50 be went to work and
found 1900 buyers for his wheat.
Fourlundred of these buyers paid
him cash and the rest asked him for
credit. seeing that it was only
about 81. 80 they would pay him
the next time they saw him SO he
left the wheat. Then came the
big part of his Job, the collecting
of the money he had already earn
ed. Each enc Of the purchasers
thought that it was only such a
small amount that he would not
need it never stopping to think
that taking the total il would
amount to 5000. so they just let
it slip their minds. When he seut
them bills for the amount they llm-
medi1ely forgot all about it. just
at this point the man awokc and
commenced to think what that
dream meant. Suddenly he re-
membered that he had received a
bill from the newspaper nan the
day before for ust Sl.3O and then
he realized what a hard Job it was
to get all that owed him $3.50 to
pay him, so he went straight to
the newspaper office and paid his

SWAT The FLIES !!

York City:
Kill at once every fly you q
find and burn his body.
Observers say that there are
many reasons to believe there will
be more flies this season than for
number of years.
The killing of just one fly now
means there will be billions and
trillions less next summer.
Clean up your own premises;
see and insist that your neighbors
do likewise.
Especially clean tout of -the-way-
places" and every nook and Gran
ny.
Flies will not go where there is
nothing to eat, and their principal
diet is too filthy to mention.
The United States Government
makes the following suggestion for
the destruction of house flies: For
maldehyde and sodium salicylate
are the two best fly poisons. Both
are superior to arsenic. They arc
not a poison to children, they L
convenient to handle, their dilu-
tions are simple and they attract
the flies.
A formaldehyde solution of APP
proximately the correct strength
may be made 10y adding 3 tea
spoonfuls of the concentrated for
maldehydc solution, commercially
known as formalin, to a pint of
water. Similarly, the proper con-
c%entration of sodium salicylate
may be obtained by dissolving 3
teaspoonfuls of the pure chemical
IA powder) to a pint of water.
A container has been found that
is convenient for automatically
keeping the solution always avail
able for flies to drink. An ordih-
airy, thin-walled drinking glass is
filled OF partially filled with the
solution. A saucer, or small plate
in which is placed a piece of white
blotting paper cut the size Of the
dish, is put bottum up over the
glass. The whole is then quickly
inverted, a match placed under the
edge of the glass, and the contain
Ell is ready for use. As the solu-
ton dries out of the saucer the
liquid seal at the edge of the glass
is broken and more liquid flow s
into the lower receptacle. Thus
the paper is always kept moist.
Any odor pleasing to man is Of
fensive to the fly and vice versa,
will drive them away.
Take FIVE cents worth of oil of
lavender, mix it With the same
quantity of water, put it in a COM
mon glass atomizer and spray il
around the rooms where flies are.
In the dining room spray it lavish
" even on the table linen. The
odor is very disagreeable to flies
but refreshing to most people.

 You go down the street very scantily dressed. You apparent ly deliberately expose as much of your person as is necessary to appeal to the carnal instincts of a man. Your lovely neck. a large portion of your well-de- veloped breast. your arms and by means of a short skirt and transparent hose, a goodly share of your lower limbs are exposed to view.
 That part of your body that is partly covered is clothed in a may that every curve and angle is out in bold rehf.

Little Edna Fay Patrick de- parted this life Sunday evening, June 3rd, at 6:15 o'clock, after two weeks of intense suffering. God sent an angel to bear her safely home.
 She was the only daughter of MT. and Mrs. Virgil Patrick of Watalula, Arkansas.
 Her body was laid to rest in the Jethro cemetery, June 4th, at 3:30 in the afternoon. At the grave, Bro. James spoke many words of consolation to the broken-hearted parents, rela- lives and friends. There in the newly made grave, with beauti- ful spring roses round her, we left her to await the resurrec- tion morning.

BOLLINCER-McILROY

When their friends found out about it and declared they were going to be present, the hour was changed to 7:30, and thereby they avoided a big wedding party. Only the board of stewards and Mir. Alvin Clark and Miss Hazel Bryan were present.
 Miss Gladis is the eldest daughter of MT. and Mrs. R. l.. McIlroy of White Oak, and is a splendid young woman, who has friends wherever she is known.
 Mir. Bollinger is a highly es- teemed young man, whose home had been at Charleston until re- gently when he was elected coun- ty clerk and came to Ozark to assume the duties of that office. Mrs. McIlroy has been his effi- cient assistant for the past few months.
