It Is Proving a Great Big Attraction to
the Dallasites. *•=■" ’
Dallas, Tex., May 29— The Elks’ street
fair was visited by many people on the
opening day yesterday. The attraction
will surpass anything of the kind ever
before seen in the south and the manage-
ment is highly complimented upon the
high class of the shows. Today is audi-
torium day and a percentage of the pro-
ceeds will go to the auditorium fund. To-
morrow is Elks’ day and a large delega-
tion from Texas lodges are expected. The

pects to give him 6000. Gosset had 1500
to start on. The Democrats expect both
men to' run on till the regular election.

of the judges was in favor of the aega-
tive. About 1400 people heard the debate,

Washington, D. C.. May 29.—The senate

to Senator Cockrell’s amendment to the

Paris, May 29.—It is generally believed
Minister of War Gallifet insists on re-
signing, undoubtedly in consequence of
yesterday’s incident in the cff.mber of
deputies, although the ministerial organs
affirm, that he is ill.
Premier M. Waldeck-Rosseau is- cred-
ited with the intention of replacing him
as soon as possible, and said Gen. De Gal-
lifet’s resignation and the appointment of
his successor would be announced simul-
taneously.

COTTON ON SHIPBOARD.
The use of inhalers, douches, sprays,
salves and powders for cartarrh is a nuis-
ance and inconvenience at the best, and
can not compare with antiseptic remedies
in tablet form for internal use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of the dis-
ease which is in the blood and local appli-
cations can no more'^cure catarrh than
rheumatism or kidney 1 ’ ’’
cessive secretion in nqse
local manifestations -of
poison in the blood.
Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, the most suc-
cessful of the various internal remedies, is
composed principally of highly concen-
trated antiseptics, which destroy the ca-
tarrh germs in the blood and causes them
to be eliminated through the natural chan-
nels.
Progressive physicians use and advise
Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets' because they
contain no cocaine, no opiate, no enervat-
ing drug whatever, but are composed of
Guaicol, Hydrastin, Red Gum and similar
catarrh antiseptics, and are so safe and
pleasant that even little children may use
them with excellent results.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted time
and money on local applications should
not despair of a. radipal cure until a trial of
Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets has been made.
A complete treatment may be purchased
at any drug store for fifty cents.

The fakirs of India are famed for their
hrt in juggling'. There is a good deal they
could learn from the artists who control
the cotton market just now. The gentle-
jnen who threw the gaff into Price, Mc-
Cormick & Co. last week have been jug-
gling with futures recently in a way to
astonish the natives. After that failure
they ran August up 29 points; and now
t they run it down 32 points. They seem
[p,ble to boost prices or knock the keystone
but of the arch at will.
This evening they serve up a strange
Bish for the public. Cotton, according to
ihe June and July quotations, will be
worth .more in New Orleans than in New
York, and yet August cotton, according to
quotations, wil be worth $1 a bale more in
}lew York than in New Orleans.
The raid that was made on the market
In the last half hour yesterday was 'con-
tinued today. Prices at New York sagged
today from start to finish, the net loss on
August for the day being 21 points. The
new crop months were not as weak as the
jiear positions.
Crop conditions as reported by the gov-
brnment, are rather favorable. This had
a, natural tendency to depress values, but
the New York crowd knew what the re-
port would indicate and put up prices Fri-
day and Saturday regardless of the good
weather.
Speculation is waning, only the most in-
veterate sports daring to toy with the

St. Louis, Mb., May 29.—There is very
little change in the street railway strike
situation today. Efforts are being made
to arbitrate the differences between the
railway officials and theftr employes and
ihese may show some progress towards a
settlement before the day is over.
Shortly after 10 o’clock a car on the
Sixth street line was stopped by obstruc-
tions on Broadway and Miller streets,
where a crowd assembled. Non-union men
on the war Were jeered, but no stones
were thrown or other violence shown. This
enraged the motorman and conductor,
who drew their revolvers and fired about
25 shots into the crowd. Wm. Breenman,
who, was. standing on a corner a block
away, was shot in the knee and will prob-
ably lose a leg. Dolly Mitchell, a little
girl, was hit in the wrist by one of the
bullets while standing in her yard near
the scene of the shooting. The motorman
and conductor were arrested.

Louisville, Ky., May ‘29.—All incoming
trains this morning brought large numbers
of visitors from outside cities, it being es-
timated the morning trains brought at
least 5000 people to attend the Confederate
reunion, which will be formally opened to-
morrow. The number of veterans and
visitors now here is estimated at 13,000 and
the number will be doubled by tomorrow
night. Gen. Gordon is expected to arrive
late this afternoon. A committee has
been appointed to meet him at the depot
and arrange if possible for the holding of
the parade in the morning instead of the
afternoon as the veterans originally ar-
ranged. Local managers of the parade
have found that to hold the parade in the
afternoon will greatly upset some of their
arrangements and may in some respects
interfere with the success of the parade.
This is particularly true of the mounted
division of the parade. It is expected there
Will be in this division at least 2000
mounted men, and many of them have ar-
ranged for mounts at 11 o’clock. If the
parade goes over until afternoon it is esti-
mated the mounted division will be re-
duced by at least one-half. For this and
other reasons of similar nature the com-
mittee is prepared to make strong repre-
sentations to Gen. Gordon that the parade
be held in the morning instead of the aft-
ernoon.
Adjt. Gen. Moorman this morning said
he was entirely willing the parade should
be held in the morning, and had no doubt
that upon the arrival of Gen. Gordon the
latter would also give his consent* to the
change.
The fight for the reunion of 1901 is wax-
ing warm and promises to become a sharp
struggle before it is settled. Buffalo has a
strong delegation on the ground. Its mem-
bers are working hard and express them-
selves as confident they will secure the
convention for next year. Yesterday the
strongest rivals of Buffalo were Jackson-
ville and. New Orleans, but this morning
delegations from Clndinnati and Memphis
put in an appearance, making five cities,
all anxious for the honor. All delegations
say that they have a sure thing and do not
see how they can lose.
Gen. Gordon will not remain in the city
over night but is expected to go to Bloom-
ington, Ind., where he has a lecture en-
gagement for tonight. He will return
here tomorrow in time to open the meet-
ing of the convention in re-union hall.
Far off Texas is already well represent-
ed. Col, Alvin Steel of Dallas, acting
adjutant general on the staff of Gen.
Cabell, commanding the trans-Mississlppl
department, who arrived yesterday morn-
ing-, was the advance guard of a distin-
guished party that arrived this after-
noon. It numbers among its. members
Gen. W. L. Cabell, Gen. A. L. Watts,
Col. M. H. Gaston, aide de camp trans-
Mississippi department; Mrs. Kate Ca-
bell Currie, formerly president of the
Daughters of the Confederacy; Mliss
Mae Jones, sponsor for the Texas divis-
ion Sons of Confederate Veterans; Miss
Bessie Wathen, sponsor for Sterling Price
camp of Dallas, Tex., and many other la-
dies of the Lone Star state are members
of the party.
The annual reunion of the United S'dns
of Confederate Veterans will be called to
order at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning
by Gen. W. T. Colquitt, commander in
chief of the organization. An address of
vtelcome, will be delivered by Biscoe
Hindman. There will be about 2000 sons
in attendance at this re-union and 500 del-
egates. It is the opinion of Commander
Colquitt that the corning re-union of the
Sons of Confederate Veterans will be by
far the most notable one ever held by the
association.
Mr. and Mrs. Biscoe Hindman will give
a reception to the sponsors, maids of hon-
or and Sons of Confederate Veterans Wed-
nesday afternoon.
The Middleham Castle Made a Fine Run
to Antwerp and- Return.
Capt.” Coglin of the Castle line steam-
ship Middleham Castle is in Galveston
after making a remarkably fast round
trip across the Atlantic.
Jt was the Middleham Caistle 1(hat
brought the Rosenberg statue to Galves-
ton. The Middleham Castle took from
here a big cargo for Antwerp, leaving
Galveston March 28. The trip from here
to Antwerp occupied only 21 days. After
discharging cargo at Antwerp the vessel
took on 3300 tons of freight for Galveston.
This consisted of cement, sugar, liquors
and all sorts of stuff. Coming westward
the Middleham. Castle took 25 days to
make the trip.
The vessel will again be loaded for Ant-
werp. Fowler & McVitie are the agents.
Cant. Coglin says he has heard so
much about the Rosenberg monument cel-
ebration and the beauty of the floral pa-
rade that he is sorry he couldn’t be here
He likes this old town and is
interested in everything concerning it.
San Antonio, Tex., May 29.—Detective
Lerna left today for a point 65 miles from
here to arrest a gAng of robbers. He
says they stole their goods here and
hauled them away to surrounding towns
and sold them, going under the guise of
peddlers. "He tracked them on their last
trip out of San Antonio, when he says
they robbed a grocery store on West
Commerce street, and located them 65
miles from here, but they did not try to
sell any of the property while he was in
the community. He returned yesterday
and left a confederate to watch them, and
from the confederate he got a telegram
calling him back today. This gang has
been conducting a systematic robbing-
business in this city. Among the con-
cerns that have recently suffered the loss
of a. wagon load of plunder at one haul
were the following: Railway Supply
store, Dalkowitz Bros., Little Red gro-
cery and A. F. Gimbels’ grocery store,
1315 Commerce street.
A colored militia company is coming
here from Houston for the June 19 celebra-
tion. Booker T. Washington is also ex-
pected.
The Transit railroad will establish a
Y, M. C. A. for its employes.
