The COTTON CROP Is SHORT
Captain KoIb Advises Planters 10 Hold
Il SeIefal Months.
ANTICIPATES AN ADVANCE IN PRICES.
He Does Not Think the Output Will Reach
100000 Baies-Too Much Rain

Notes and silver In Demand.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Sept. H--cap-
tain Il. +. kolb, ex-Commissioner OF
Agriculture and well-known politician, has
addressed an open letter to The cotton
planters in answer 10 inquiries from va
rious sections of the South.
In II he says among other things:
mo Intelligent man, who Is adequate
ly posted, VIII take issue with me on
the proposition that the present crop OF
cotton will fall far below the needs OF
the worlds consumption FOE the next
twelve months. In my opinion, the crop
cannot possibly reach 10000 bales and
may fall below 6,5o0OOO. | think / can
give many good reasons FOR my
conclusion. A wet May always
means short cotton crop. This Is
a known fact 20 all growers OF cotton.
and stands as tradition handed down TO
us by our forefathers from generation
to generation ever since tho production o.
cotton was introduced in this country.
This year, we did not only have the
wet May, but during the three following
months OF June, July, and August the
rains continued over all the cotton states
except Texas. II we know anything OF
cotton production we must know that
the cotton is a Southern plant, and not
water lily, and hence. too much water
has very much damaged the crop.
"Then, again, too much moisture IN
many sections mas produced rust and the
stalks. leaves, and bolls have turned req
and not half crop Will be produced on
such plants.
DAMAGE by WORMS.
IN other sections, the boil worms,
army worms. and sharp-shooters have
been very destructive, ard the crop very
nearly destroyed. bcseged by all these
causes.
Again, the cotton crop ia the average
is nearly one month late, and an early
frost would cut the crop nearly loo'uN
bales.
with so much moisture in the SOIL
this year. we should expect frost TINS
year much earlier than usual.
"As | understand the situation OF the
present cotton crop. after dihgent IN
quiry. | think IL possible and highly
probable that not exceeding 6,NV,O0 bales
Will be produced.
II advise that no cotton be marketed
during the next sixty TO ninety days,eN-
cept TO meet debt and actual demand 1T
you hold your cotton until November ana
December and then market II slowly you
are sure TO get ten cents or more fer
every pound of II.
Next year continue 10 curtal your
acreage and fertilizer; make all your
provisions at home and do as you have
been compelled TO do this year against
your will. and your next crop OF cotton
will bring ten cents and more per pound,
and the Southern farmers will once more
be prosperous happy people"

sensational charges. The first complaint
states that DR.. Locke assaulted one Odie
Mauck, then under age. The young
woman is now the wife of Peter Kaul, jr.,
who swore out the complaint
The second charge recites that DR.. Locke
made an attempt upon the life of County
Attorney a. E. Crane and is sworn out
by Crane himself The last charge is
based on letter found in possession of
Milo Simpson, purporting to have been
written by Locke and Offering one thous-
and dollars to dispose of Crane.
DR.. Locke is a bachelor. 40 years of
age, and we'll thought of here. The let
ter is thought to be an attempt at black

The Board of RefOrmatOry Directors Are
Out.
Tully Scott, ]. n. Humphrey and John
Armstrong have severed all connection
with the state reformatory at Hutchinson
At noon today their written resi- signations
were placed in Governor MorrilPs hands
and were accepted at once.
The members of the board went to the
state house with their designations in
their pockets early this morning, but it
took them all forenoon to agree to ac-
cept the terms of settlement for their
services to the state, proposed by Assist
ant Attorney General Dawes and Gov
Morrill,.
The only question Governor Morrill,
and the directors could not agree on was
the amount of money they were to be
paid for their expenses.
The directors put in claim for eight
cents a mile railroad fare, but the COVER
nor says they are not entitled to but
three, because the law only allows them
actual expenses.
The directors finally settled for three
cents mile, but Senator John Armstrong
who rode on pass, was not allowed any
mileage, and J. NJ. Humphrey, who had
pass part of the time did not get any
money for the mileage he travelled on his
pass.
Assistant Auditor Cook says he won't
allow any state officer mileage who
travels on pass unless the
law says plainly that. the
mileage shall be part of
his compensation as in the case of the
state board of charities who are by law
allowed ten cents a mile while the rail
road fare is but three cents.
When asked whom he would appoint as
members of the new reformatory board
Governor Morrill, said he had not yet
settled that matter. He said he
would have appointed Senator Edwin
Taylor of Wyandotte county as the Pop
ulist member of the board but Senator
Taylor had been consulted and he posi-
lively refused to accept the place.
When asked if Frank Bacon of Cha
mute would be appointed as the Demo
cratic member the governor said, "Yes,
have decided to appoint him"
"Will you appoint G. Il. Wharton of
Ottawa as member of this board?"
81 haven't made up my mind as
whom I'll name for the other places and
may not until return from Hiawatha,

whole matter before I go away but I

More than usual interest is being TAX

were voters waiting before the polls
opened The voting places will continue
open until p. N.
Senator Sterne insists that Dave
Bardge will be renominated for sheriff
81 will be wonderfully mistaken if he is
beaten" he says. sit has been hard
fight but the opposition is divided"
The guessers are undecided whether
Riley Ayres or George Evans will be
second in the race. 1t promises to be
close. The enemies of MIR. Burdge still
contend that they have him defeated.
For county commissioner in the south
district John Ritchie is said to be in the
lead with Scott Kelsey close behind.
The contest for coroner is close be-
tween Dr. Bailey and DR.. Westerfeld,
and even Senator Sterne did not
wish to go on record with a
guess as to the result. He says how
ever that it looks as though ]. w. Stout

threatening weather, nearly 1000 Repub-
licau votes. will be polled in the city.

EXPLORATION IN CANADA.
The Almost Unknown Region South of
Hudson Bay.

The immense stretch of country ex-
tending from the height of land at
the head waters of the Ottawa to James
Bay is at last to be explored. Dr. Robert
Bell of the Geological Survey will leave
in a few days, and will be away all sum-
mer, says a Quebec special. No survey
has ever been made of this country,
vast as it is, though valuable 'explora-
tions were made last year in much high
er Iatitudes in the interior of Labrador
The country is known only to the In
dams and to the French-Canadian trap
pers. for the Hudson Bay company, who
obtain from it great wealth of pelts.
Apart from these the resources of the
country are entirely unknown, so that
interesting discoveries may be looked
for on Dr. Bells return next autumn.
Some years ago DR.. Bell Penetrated
sixty miles over the height of land in
this country, and there he found river
which he has reason to believe is a tri-
butary of a larger one flowing into
James Bay He does not, therefore,
anticipate that he will experience much
difficulty in forcing his. way overland
by different waterways to James Bay.
