New York, June 10.—Prices of cot- ton for delivery in July made another upward jump on the opening of the | New York Cotton Exchange and with- in half an hour advanced $1.50 a bale. This placed the price of the July op- tion $3.75 a bale higher than the low price of the previous morning. The trading, which carried the July cotton to 12.25 cenls a pound early in the day, was very active and excited and the price was sent soaring at the rate of 3 or 5 points for each sale Tecord- ed. Rumors that a group of English and American interests have cornered the July option caused most of the activity. Trading in the options of later months was easy, at slight ad- vances. After the early advance the cotton market became quiet and the July op- tion lost most of its gain under profit taking by short interests, the price receding to 12 cents a pound. The market closed firm at a net advance of 2 to 7 points. Sales were estimated at 300,000 bales. TWO MEN KILLED.

Boise, Ida., June 10.—Harry Or- chard, chief witness for the state against William D. Haywood, contin- ues under cross-examination, which, along the line of his main recital, has been carried through the first attempt on the life of former Governor Pea- body of Colorado and the killing of Detective Gregory at Denver. — Attorney Richardson, for the de- fense, led the witness through every detall of both crimes, seeking to in- volve - the story of the .witness in doubt. Some discrepancies were de- veloped, but in the main the witness adhered stoutly to his original testl- mony and warily avoided gerious con- tradictions. He was cdlm and col- lected and on several occasions . of- fered to correct counsel for the de- fense. The defense, after leaving the Greg: ory matter, digressed for a moment to lay the foundation for a showing R e — that Simpkins, because he was In the Idaho “bullpen,” and Orchard, becausge he was driven out of Idaho and forced to sell his interest in the Hercules mine, which later became very valu- able, had a deep seated private grudge against Steunenberg. At several points the defense laid the foundation for-the controversion of Orchard’s testimony when its side is reached.

Her sweetheart ceased paying her at- tentions several weeks ago, and the young woman became melancholy. Mrs. Mary Snell, the housekeeper; “MAKING A PLACE TO DIE IN.” found the young woman in the cellar digging a long, deep hole in the earth floor. “What in the world are you doing?”’ asked the astonished woman, “Making a place to die in,” replied the servant. “Well, you get upstairs and forget this nonsense,” said the housekeeper, and for the time the matter was for- gotten.

A well known member of parllament was addressing an agricultural meet- ing in the south of England and in the course of his remarks expressed the opinion that farmers do not sufficiently vary their crops and make a mistake in always sowing wheat. One of the audience opposed to him in politics asked him what crops he would recommend. “Everything in turn,” he replied. “Well,” said his interlocutor, “if swedes don’t come up, what then?’ “Sow mustard,” said the M. P. “And if mustard doesn’t come up, what then?” And so he went on through a whole list of crops until, the M. P.’s patience being exhausted, he put an end to his questioning amid roars of laughter by saying: “Oh, sow yourself, and I hope you won’t come up.” ~ Gircumstantial Evidence.
