COTTON MEN MK KT IN BOSTON. President In His Annual Address Comments on Atlanta Conference. Bobton, April 16.-Cotton manu facturers and persons connected with k allied industries irom ail puris uf * the United States were in attendance to-day at the eighty-fourth annual meeting of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. President Wm. D. HartsBhorne, of Lawrence, Mass., called the conven tion to order, and Acting Governor Draper welcomed tue members of the association to tho State. President Hartsshorne addressed the convention in part as follows: "One of the most Important events in the past six months which our } panic condition unduly overshadow ed was the Atlanta conference. It was earnestly believed by those whe took part in this conference that lt was an epoch-making event. The meeting together face to face of ri val Interests and the formulating of resolutions covers so many details in regard to the cotton Industry and the. trade relations governing the same, where lt was necessary for ab solute unanimity to carry any reso b.'tinrr WR? a noteworthy achieve ment. "Manufacturers from the United States, many from across the water and representatives from the cotton exchanges met the planter upon his own ground, and it is to the credit of the planter that he acknowledged without cavil tho handicap wihch faulty methods had placed upon the cotton growing industry and which was reflected back against bim by the serious results to the cotton spinners. Some of the methods of the Cotton Exchange received the strongest condemnation or Doth spin ner and planter, hut against efforts to legislate exchanges out of exist ence wiser counsel prevailed. "It ls to be regretted that the mat ter of permanent organization has so rar hung fire, only a few of the as sociations represented having an pointed delegates. The iirst setback cam? from the British Master Cot ton Spinners' Association, a branch ' of the International Federation, who claimed that to multiply organiza tions would not be of benefit to the industry, their effoits being confined io endeavors to unite our manufac turing industries on this side of the water with the International Federa tion. This wo'dd seem practically Impossible of attainment, even In a very limited way. Not all the Inter ests of our manufacturers are ^ by auy means identical with those of our European friends, and it would seem that the only kind of unity of ,'nterest would be such as could be represented in periodical confer ences, which it was the object of the permanent organisation to foster and maintain. Possibly this matter may be taken up more advisedly at the European conference at Paris, which meets June next, and to which?our association has appointed five dele pates whom we turst will be able to return to us with valuable informa tion there acquired." Why Billiard Table? are Green. (Philadelphia Record.) fe BB Mt "Billiards is one of the oldest games I know of/," said a sporting man. "It Is older, even, than oro quet, which waa playe? by French kings a great many hundred years ago. But, while billiards is so old. i it'll bet none of the devotees of the Ivories and the cue can tell me why a billiard table covering is green? Tho billiard table is always green. Well, the answer is simple enough. Billiards is merely a corruption of the good old English game of bowls, which was played on a beautifully green lawn. On rainy and winter days, however, your English sports man cbuldn't enjoy his bowls, so some c^vor Johnny conceived the scheme of playing bowls Indoors on nls Imitation green lawn. It was too much of a cinch, however, playing this game with the band in auch close quarters, so the cue was in troduced to put skill at a premium That's how we got billiards ?nd why billiard tables are green."

Oakway Democratic club ls called to meet at Oakway Saturday after noon, April 25, at 2 o'clock, to re organize and elect delegates to the County Convention, and to attend any other business that may come up.

Thc Cashier and a Citizen Were Locked Up in Vault. Coffeyvllle, Kans., April 17.-Two men entered th? Citizens' State Bank ul Chautauqua, Ave miles west ot Coffeyvllle, at 8.30 o'clock this morn ing, and after forcing Cashier C. C. WalterhouBo and Bel Easley, a busi ness man, to enter the vault, locked them in and secured all the currency In sight, amounting to about $3,000, and escaped ,into the Osage HJlls. across the line in Oklahoma. The robbery was one of the most daring ever executed in this part of Kansas, the scene of many bold hold ups on the part ot the Dalton, Starr, and other gangs of outlaws. Cashier Walterhouse had scarcely opened the bank at Chautauqua to day and placed his currency on the couner ready for the day's business, when the two lobbers entered. The robbers, both of them well dressed, made their way leisurely to the cashier's window. One pf them was a man well known about town and when he commanded Wal terhouse and EaBley to throw up their hands, the latter took the mat ter In the light of a Joke. The seri ous intentions of the robbers were realized a moment later, however, when they both drew their revolvers and pointed them at their victims, ordering them to get into the vault. Without t'urher ado Walterhouse and Easley complied. The robbers quickly slammed the door shut and then leisurely went about their busi ness of looting the bank. ** First, they drew down the win dow shades .'acing the street and locked the doors to prevent Inter ference. When they had scraped up all the money In sight they walked out of the front '-ntrance and up the main street. One of the men carried a gunny sack. Several persons who knew the man, whom Walterhouse and Easley say ls a well known Chautauqua character, spoke to him in a frcindly manner. Nothing in the appearance of tho robbers betrayed the part they had Just played. A block away they mounted horses that they bad tied at the curbing and drove off. Robber was Escaped Convict. Chautauqua, Kans., April 17.-C. C. Walterhouse, cashier of the Citi zens' State Bank ' of Chautauqua, which was robbed to-day by two mon, stated positively that one of the robbers was William Tenant, aged 23 years, formerly of Chautau qua, and who recently escaped from jail at Nowata, Okla., where h? was being held on a charge of horse steal ing. Tenant soire time ago borrow ed a small sum of money from the bank and Walterhouse said that when Tenant entered the bank to-day he Supposed he had come to renew the note or take it up.

And you can't get rid of the back ache until you cure the kidney ache. If the kidneys are well and strong tho rest of the system is pretty sure to be in vigorous health. noun's Kidney Pills make strong, healthy kidneys. J. R, Hughes, living on Faculty Hill, Walhalla, S. C., says: "I have been a locomotive engineer for many years and the jolting and jarring of the engine has caused me much mis ery. I had a pain across the small of my back and at times it extended into my shoulder blades. Several years ago I began taking Donn's Kid ney Pills when I was suffering from one of these attacks and it was not long before I was free from the trou ble. I procured them at Dr. J. W. Bell's drug store, and lt did not re quire more than a few doses to give me relief. I do not think there ls a remedy equal to Donn's Kidney Pills." For salo by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Washington, April 17.-No less than flve bills relating to the inves tigation and regulation of telegraph companies are now before Congress. Their provisions range all the way from government ownership to re duction of rates and prohibition of the franking privilege now enjoyed by national legislators. The services promised by the riew telegraph company, the Telepost, ls the inspiration of a number of these proposals. The Telepost will carry messages for one cent a word be tween ali points, delivering by mes senger in the usual way. On "tele poHts" delivered at destination through the malls the rate ls half a cent a word. It will also carry free the filing time and timo of arrival at the receiving office. Members of Congress to whom lt has been demonstrated that a profit able business can he done at these rates say that they will press for re forms until some action is taken. The bill fathered by Senator La Follette calls.for a thorough Investi ea,.on of the telegraph companies, with a view ultimately of taking them over as a part of the postal ser vice. A step in this direction has already been taken In the adoption by the Telepost of the plan to make postmen the messengers for the de livery of telegrams. Tnis plan would apply only when the sender's pur noses are satisfied by delivery any time during the business day. Tonsiliti is swelling end inflan me glands ollhe side?

Worley Hes at the city hospital fatally burned and Miss Ella Qibbs, a church deaconess, is dead. Worley was a driver of the deliv ery wagon, from which the Ure was communicated to the tanks, which exploded, and he was burled many yards from the spot. The flames spread to tho tanks, which instantly became a mass of flames. A circus three blocks distant, was about to open for the afternoon per formance. The explosion and the fire caused the showmen to lower the tents after dispersing the crowd which had assembled. The herd of elephants became un controllable and they dashed to the east side of the town, knocking down fences, outhouses and despoiling or chards that lay in their path. Many persons narrowly escaped the Infuri ated anlmalB. All but the largest of the elephants soon were rounded up. The leader of the herd then changed his course toward the city one mile distant, and entered the court of the famous Glenwood Hotel. Miss Gibbs was In the yard In front of the house. The elephant pinned her against the house between his tusks, threw her to the ground and trampled on her, crushing her chest so that 3he died at 10 o'clock lust night. The animal then proceeded to the door way, the guests running, panic stricken, indoors. D. P. Chapman, a guest of the house, attempted to swerve the animal from the court. He was knocked down and had seve ral ribs broken and otherwise Injur ed. Tho beast crashed through the door, walked through the barber shop and out on \he main street, crossed the street and crashed through the heavy plate glass win dow In a store. Before being round ed up at a down-town public stable the animal trampled on another man and Borlouely gored him wjth his tusks. One of the keepers attempted to subdue tho animal, but was hurled over a high fence, sustaining painful injuries. The fire at the oil tanks continued through the. afternoon and 60,000 gallons of oil were consumed. The loss on oil waa $7,000 and the.loss on the buildings $4,000. The will of the ?late Capt. Wm. A.
