INDIANA DEMOCRATS.
An Important Conference at
Indianapolis Today.
By Associated Press to The News.
Indianapolis, Nov. 23.—Demo-crats
from all over the state are
numerous in town today to attend
the Democratic state conference,
looking for a new state committee
and to arrange dates for holding
conventions at which a committee
will be chosen. Senator Voorhees
will arrive in the city during the
forenoon. Senator Turpie and
Mexican Minister Gray are already
here. Other, prominent Democrats
are expected, and Congressmen By
num, Cooper and Brown. Much
importance is attached to Senator
Voorhees’ presence at the confer-ence,
as it is expected he will make
a few remarks on the pension pel-icy
of Secretary Hoke Smith. The
conference will also consider steps
necessary to fight the 'apportion-ment
suit now in the courts. The
conference will likely be something
in the nature of a council of war.

The Notorious Louisiana Des-perado

By Associated Press to The News.
Shreveport, La., Nov. 23.—
Link Waggoner, the notorious
Louisiana desperado, has been cap-tured
in the w ildes of Nacogdoches
c >unty, Texas. He has been want
ed for shooting a man named HjlJ
land in Webster parish, this state, a
year ago. Sheriff Regan, with a
posse of six men surrounded the
house where Waggoner was stop-ping
and got the drop on the out-aw
and made him surrender. The
prisoner is on his way to Webster

Texas and Arkansas. About two
years ago he and his brother
were arrested in Ozark Moun-tains,
Arkansas, for a mar-der
in Claiborne parish. His
brother was c nvio ed and sent to
the penitentiary wh-.re he was after-wards
accidentally ki'led. Pending
the trial a mob undertook to lynch
Link, hut he got a revolver and
kept the crowd ff, and saved his
life after wounding several of the
mob. Link was acq fitted of this
crime in an adjoining parish

To Hear Elder Wilson on Purification
of the Heart.
Last night another crowded
house greeted Evangelist Wilson at
the Christian church to hear his
sermon on “Purification of the
Heart.” This was the best sermon
that the evangelist has yet delivered
and his familiarity with scripture is
marvelous. The vast crowd was
captured by the simplicity and
force of the speaker’s argument,and
a subject heretofore somewhat be-clouded
was made clear and plain.
Tonight’s sermon will be “God’s
Power to Save.” Come early to
get a seat. The meeting waxes
warmer in interest, and the music
holds its own. Additional chairs
will be provided for the crowds.
Cotton Market.

New Orleans, Nov. 23 —Glenny
& Co. say: Liverpool spot ootton
moderately active and firm at 1-16
advanoe; sales 12,000 bales; low
middling 4§d; middling 4-^-d; good
middling 4fl. Futures opened
film, with demand fair at 2-64@3-64
advance, and closed firm at 3.64@
64 net advance.
New York opened 9 points high-er,
advanced seven additional,
reacted, declined, and at 1 p. m,
was 13 points higher than yesier-day.
New Orleans opened 9 points
higher, advanced two to three
points, declined, and at 12:10 was
about at the opening prices.
The better tone of Liverpool
futures and the increased spot sales
there at the advance caused consid
erable buying in American markets.
Another feature is the better prices
of dry goods and the belief that the
receipts will soon fail off. The ad-vance,
however, has been very
rapid, and we might have a sharp
reaction should the receipts contin-ue
heavy.
Spots at New Orleans are firm
with good demand, buyers offering
1-16 and sellers asking £ advance.
