Th* estimate* ®n the cottqn
crop for the present is 7.-
OOO.OOU baits,' given cut by Noill
Bros, cotton brokers, and this low

jump many points. It is now
quoted at 8$ and Bj, and prom*

doubt but what it will reach 10c
b* r ore the seas.tn ulosea. Futures
for the <> outh of May are quoted
at 9c. This rise inoottou is worth

BLACK WTNS OUT.
A GLORIOUS VTCTORV FOR TH* DEM
OCRATS eF THE TENTH.
Hon. J C C Black, the standard
bearer of genuine democracy, was
elected te Congress on last Wed
nesday by a handiome majority,
over W'ateon. the populiet, candi
date, and over the protests of the
geld bug organs.
Black’s actual majority will not
be leas than 1400. and will hardly
be larger than 2000’ ’hataon
lost in all the counties outside of
Richmond, and in Richmond his
vole was not as large ns hereto
fore. VYarsen’s home conßty re
duced his majority over oe hun
dred votes.
This was a clean cut election
held.tender the raw registration
everything points to a
fair race on the democratic aide,
while in seme of. the populist
counties al* kinds of fraud was
perpetrated.
We hope that this election, will
demonstrate to the populists that
they are in the minority in the
10th district*.and that all bitter
ness and strife oausod by these
hotly elections wiM cease, and
th.it everything will run smoothly
again

(from the Kansas City Times.)
For years one of the heat known men in
Bate* und Vernon counties hits Uceu Mark
M. WVwvlson, now postmaster at I’ansma,
autl brother of ex State Inspector of Mines.
O. C. Woodson, of thiacity. The people or
Rich Hilt, where he formerly resided, and of
his present home, remember welt the ben)
form, misdmpen almost from the semblance
of man, which has painfully bowed ita head
half to earth and labored snail-like across
the walks season after season, and when one
day last month it etrsiskteaed to its fall
height, threvrnway the heavy butt of cane
which for years had boon its only support
from total helplessness, and walked erect,
firmly, unhesitatingly about the two cities,
penpi ■ looked and wondered. The Btory of
ihe remarkable oase has become tlje marvel
of the two counties. Rxactly ns Mr. Wood
ton told it to a cfrnr *wf|.U llCt'Q
published:
“ In ’B4 the rheumatism started in my
right knee, and after a lingering illness ft
eettled generally in my joints. 1 wn*
finally able to arise, bat for the past 5 yean
could only walk with the aid of crutches,
and my body was bent half toward th*
ground. I went to the best dispensary in
Kansas City, where I was treated for si*
weeks, and without the slightest good. {
thpu tried a strong galvanic battery, with
the same result. 1 then went to the City
lioipital at St. bonis, where the host physi.
ciaii* trailed me—(including Drs. Kale and
Mmld)—but without result,aad I came horns,
weak, doubled with pain and despondeut.
“Aboot tlu* time wy attention wat called
k. the acoount ofa lemarkable euro by Or,
Pink Pills for PaJ People of
locomotor ataxia, rheumatism ami paral
ysis. I ordered some of th* pitta as an ex
periment. Whea ! began to take tlieni, the
rheumatism had developed into a phase of
paralysis ; my If- from the thigh down was
cold all th time and could not be kept
warm. In a short time 1 was able to attend
to mj’otHee duties, and! could enjoy a sound
and restful night's sleep, something 1 had
n>t known for ten years. Tool ay md prne,
dually, and 1 -firmly believe, permanently
cured of my terrible and agonizing ailment.
No magician of the Far Knst ever wrought
the miracle with his .wand that l>r. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills did f r me."
To verify the story hey.xnd all question of
doubt Mr.' Woodson made affidavit to the
above.
