the burgomasters of Deventer, Assem-,
1utphen and Anthem and other towns
to arrange to accommodate refugees to
rl,e extent of 2 per cent of the popula-

The Dutch Villagers on the frontier

The French minister at The Hague
has been investigating the possibility
of reptriating the refugees to France

bridges have been blown up and the
railways and tramways are in no CON

COTTON PRICES CONTINUE
DOWNWARD TENDENCY
Condition of Market Is Very I'm
settled.

Tho cotton market has shown
considerable decline during the
week and very little selling is
in evidence, the growers hold
ing their cotton in anticipation
of an advance. Many of the
growers are undecided what to
do, as some of the buyers are
predicting that further declines
may be expected until a twenty
five cent price is reached, while
the marketing association is adj
vising the holding of cotton for
a higher price.
Today's market on cotton is
as follows: Short, 81 to % cts,
staple, up to 81 cents.

cotton scales used by Mr.. Boyce
is only 700 pounds, he paid Mr..
Beck for that amount when he
purchased the cotton and told
him that he would pay the diff
ference when he received the

MISSES ALICE AND EDITH
CULPEPPER
.glSAPPEAR DURING night
-
y 8 'Sed ElOpement, But No
zee of Whereabouts Is
Secured.

ESQ j. w. Culpepper.- Justice
Of the peace of Red Land town
ship, was in Washington this
(Friday) morning trying to get
some trace of his daughters,
Misses Allie and Edith, aged %
and II, respectively, who disap-
peared from their home about
8 o'clock Thursday night and
10 trace Of them has since been
secured.
1t is supposed that the older
daughter has eloped with Geo.
Jones, who lives on the Battle
farm near Washington, and
that the younger girl is accom-
panying them. No marriage Ii
cense has been issued from the
office of the county clerk here,
however, and Mr.. Culpepper
ascertained by phone commu-
nication with the clerks of How
ard, Nevada and Miller coun-
ties that no license had been Sc
cured by these parties from any
of them.
Mr.. Jones of the Battle farm
had been going with Miss Allie
for two or three months and
on reaching Washington Mr..
Culpepper 'phoned to the farm
and was told that he had left
home and gone to Hope Thurs
day afternoon and had not re-
turned.
1t is believed that the couple
secured license at some place
and have been married, but in
the meantime Mr., CCulpepper
is anxious about his daughters
and wishes to secure any infor-
nation he can as to their where
abouts.
Mr.. Culpepper stated toi the
Telegraph man that a car pass
ed by his house at about -
o'clock Thursday night and re-
turned in a short time. He
thinks that his daughters left
in this car, but they were not
missed until Friday morning,
as they were supposed to have
retired for the night.
Mr.. Culpepper is one of the
most substantial citizens of the
county and he will greatly ap-
preciate any information about
his missing daughters.

ELECTION CONTROVERSY
DELAYS THIS ISSUE
Election Tickets for County Printed
Second Time.

Due to the necessity of re-
printing the election ballots for
the November election, which is
to be held on the 5th., this issue
of the Telegraph was hurriedly
gotten up and will reach its sub
scribers late.
The tickets for the election
were all printed Monday and
Tuesday with the names of the
Republican nominees on them,
an order from the county court
placing them on having been
made. Just about the time the
Job was completed, notice was
served that the circuit judge
had set aside the order of the
county court and directed that
they be taken off, so it was nee
essary to begin all over again
and print the ballots without
the names of these candidates.
This required considerable time
and infringed on the time
which otherwise would have
been used on the paper.

Restrictions.

A phone message from DR.. +
b. Carrigan of Hope, received
at this Office this (Friday)
morning states that the cpl
demic is pretty well under con-
troll at this time and the num-
ber of new cases over the coun-
ty continues to diminish daily.
DR.. Carrigan, however, does not
believe that the abatement of
the disease is sufficient to war
rant an immediate raising of
the quarantine against public
gatherings and he stated that
he had advised the state author
tiles by wire that the regula-
tions should not yet be lifted in
the county.
Reports of physicians filed
with DR.. Carrigan Thursday
show a total of sc new cases in
all parts of the county for that
day, and the daily average dur
ing the past week is about 25
cases. This is a great deal less
than for previous weeks and it
is believed that in another week
the regulations can be lifted.
Few deaths are occurring at
This time from the disease.
Locally the influenza situa-
tion is also improving and local
physicians report an average of
only about two cases daily dur
ing the past week, with no new
cases to report Friday.
Only three deaths have occur
red here from the disease to
date, which is a fine showing
when it is considered that over
300 cases have occurred during
the epidemic.
DR.. M. F. Powell, local physi-
clan, reports that when the ep-
idemic was at its worst he was
attending to fifteen cases in a
