Kansas and Texas tracks
couth of Sterrett, I. T. A telephone
message from Marshal T. E. Wells at
Sterrett states that there were no pa-
pers found that would lead to the
Identy of either of the men. One of
the men was so horribly mangled that
no description whatever could be giv-
en of him. The other man was ap-
parently over six feet tall and splen-
didly built. The men are supposed to
have been about 30 years of age. One
of them had had a felon on his thumb,
the scar of which was visible. There
is no positive Information oobtained
as to whether or not the men had been
seen at Sterrett before the accident.
The body of one of the unfortunates
was found at the side of the track, the
legs, arms and head being severed. The
remains of tho other were found scat-
tered along the track, and the indica-
tions were plain that several trains
had passed over the body.
The remains of both men were in-
terred at the Sterrett cemetery Thurs-
day morning by the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railway company. Their
identity was not discovered and there
was no clew as to who they were, ex-
cept such as is furnished by the marks
found in their hats, which show that
both hats were purchased in Green-
ville, Tax.
One wore a hat marked "Ixirch Dry
Goods Company, Greenville, Tex." The
other, a hat marked “R. Q. Lane,
Greenville. Tex.” Money to the amount
of |3.05 was found in the pocket of
one of the men.

New Organs, La., July 31.—The
Brown-Hayne bull clique bid 15c for
July cotton yesterday, and before the
day’s trading had close! at the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange they had of-
fered to take everything in afcht at
that figure for July delivery. Net a
bale was tendered.
W. P. Brown stood at the ringside
and shouted a bid of 15c for 5000 bales
of July. Not a bale came forward.
Frank B. Hayne shouted another and
another. Then intense excitement fol-
lowed, but no cotton was offered, it
was the record bid at the New Orleans
exchange.
When analyzed, the stand of the bull
cotton clique means that it was the
last step in its gigantic scheme. It
meant the consummation of the great-
est cotton corner in the history of the
world,

The whole transaction becomes impor-
tant in cotton history. The Brown
forces had been waiting for it. They
sprang the offer and no one called It.
They stood masters of the situation,
absolute, complete. It means that
the Brown people have actually bought
and paid for between 250,000 and
000 bales of cotton, and that they
paid out
000,000.

taken it, hungered for, and have never
let the opportunity slip to buy cotton,
esterday they sprung the supreme
card, but could not get a bale. As a
result they claimed the victory and de-
clared the corner complete.
Mr. Brown states that the larger
part of his holdings has been sold to
different spinners at home and abroad.
When asked about August and Septem-
ber cotton, he said:
“If the bears can’t get cotton to
give us at 13 l-2c to 15 per pound
now, where are they going to get it in
August and September? They have
scoured the world and have brought
it back
Bremen, at an enormous expense to
them. Besides, it is reporte 1 that they
have borrowed a great deal of cotton
from the southern and eastern mills,
which no doubt the mills will need be-
fore they get the cotton returned.
“There is but one answer to the gen-
eral proposition. You have a genuine
famine, both in cotton and the manu-
factured goods, and cotton is selling at
what It should bring, when you take
into consideration the strained con-
dition of the supply. The manufac-
tured cotton goods ought to be sell-
ing at higher prices, and probably ihey
are selling higher than the present
quotations. If they are not, they will
be in the near future.”

Advices from Riese, the birthplace
of Pius X. and a village of 4000 inhab-
tants, state that the Pope’s mother,
now dead, when living there, occupied |
a small peasant’s house, having in her
humility always refused to live with
her son Guiseppe, as even his modest
establishment was considered by her ,
to be too luxurious in comparison with ,
what she was accustomed to. The elder :
brother of the Pope, Angelo, lives in
the village of Dellegrazie, province of
Mantua, being the postman of the dis-
trict and receiving eighty dollars a
year for his duties. He add to his in-

When Plus X. was
I brother. Angelo, used often to go there
, for reasons connected with his postal
service. The ether clerks would ask
him jokingly why his brother did not
find him a better position. Angelo,
with sturdy independence, answered
that he preferred to be only what he
could make himself. Still, following
papal precedents, the tobacconist and
postmaster of Dellegrazie should now
become a royal count.

Rome, Aug. 5.—The conclave, after
being in session for four days, elected
Guiseppe Sarto, patriarch of Venice, as
pope to succeed Leo. XIII., and he now
reigns at the Vatican and over the
Catholic world as Plus X. His election
and the assumption of his holy office
were marked by a striking demonstra-
tion and impressive ceremonies at
Vatican. The new pope, clad in
full pontifical robes and with all
ritualistic ceremony, will receive
the members of the diplomatic corps,
the cardinals and the bishops, who will
then offer their official homage. Twice
the cardinals and many high officials
of the Vatican went through a similar
ceremony. The date upon which the
coronation of Pius X will occur has not.

university, one of the best, not only
of the Catholic universities, but in the
