Omaha, Neb., Dec. 31.—E. D. Cudahy,
the millionaire packer, has received a
second communication from the men
who kidnaped his son. This time, as
formerly, the letter contains a threat
and says in substance that unless he
would withdraw his offer of $25,000 re-
ward for the arrest and conviction of
each of the three bandits they will
kidnap another one of his children.
The letter refers to failure of the po-
lice to get anythinglike a clew.

year’s statistics are compiled they will
show the addition of nearly 1,000,000
spindles to the productive capacity of
the south.

To emphasize Lord Kitchener’s co-
vert admission that no progress is be-
ing made against the invasion of Cape
Colony, a correspondent at Burghers-
dorp, wiring Saturday, reports as fol-
lows:
“Two fresh commandoes are enter-
ing the colony. One has already
crossed near Knaapdaar, and the ar-
rival of another is momentarily ex-
pected in the Sternburg district. The
Boers are said to have two or three
horses each, though in bad condition.

St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 31.—A severe
snow storm set in late Sunday after-
noon, with a constantly lowering tem-
perature. Telegraph reports from all
sections of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa
and northern Missouri show the fall to
be heavy. Winter wheat in many sec-
tions of these states, as well as
throughout the west generally has
been in need of a heavy blanket of
snow, which will afford ample moisture
as well as protection to grain.

normal level. The decline was gradual
and the year closed about 22 per cent
below the top point touched twelve
months previous.
The closing year of the century was
a remarkably satisfactory one for farm-
ers and planters, notwithstanding the
fact that some sections harvested
smaller crops than in preceding years.
While the south produced less cot-
ton than in the two previous record-
breaking seasons, prices were the high-
est in ten years, and the net profits
made on plantations were enormous.

Kitchener’s Telegram.
London, Jan. 1.—Gen. Kitchener tele-
graphed from Pretoria Sunday, Dec.
30, saying:
The post at Helvetia was surprised
at 2:30 a. m., the enemy first rushing
a 4.7 gun. At dawn the officer com-
manding the post at Swartzkopf sent
out a patrol and shelled the enemy out
of Helvetia, maikng them abandon the
gun temporarily. The Boers however,
formed our prisoners around the gun
and got away eventually. No ammuni-
tion belonging to the gun was captured.
The casualties were four officers
wounded and eleven men killed and
twenty-two wounded. A column was
sent out from Machododorp, but owing
to bad roads it failed to arrive on
time.”

A sudden demand from China for
heavy brown cotton in May, the first
purchases made for that market in sev-

rising, and since then there has been
an entire suspension of buying for that
country. In September another stimu-
lus was given in raw material which
followed the Galveston disaster and
short crop predictions. Prices resumed
their upward course and the market
ruled strong again until the end of Oc-
tober, when there was another lull in
demand. Stocks, however, had been
well cleaned up as a rule, and, al-
though some of the staple lines have
eased off slightly, a fairly steady tone
