COTTON in ORANGE COUNTY.

contains the following:
up to a few years ago cotton was 9
staple crop in Orange county. No farmer
In those early days would think oil
neglecting to plant cotton field. But
the orange craze struck this section and
everything else was lost sight of in the
greater promise and more aesthetic con
ditions surrounding orange growing.
CHOW, however, while orange culture
will continue to occupy large share OF
the attention of farmers, the orange
harvest and the returns from the sale OF
fruit are in the undetermined future.
In the meantime other lines must be fol-
lowed and worked to secure the neces-
sary cash income to run the household
machine. Naturally cotton comes to
the front once more as an annual money
crop. AS many have large fields Of Gull
tivated land, cotton should be once more
planted.
''Messrs. Brown and Pillans, of this
place, both of whom have had expert
ence IN the business, are willing to do
what they can"to promote and stimulate
cotton growing, and If farmers will take
hold of the matter in spirit of enter
prise, they will do what they can to as
slst. They propose to secure the best
seed to be obtained and furnish it to
planters exactly at cost; and if farmers
will plant an acreage sufficient to Justify
the outlay, they will put in the gins and
do the cleaning.
''Their plan of operations is on the
same line as that adopted by Mr.. Mac /
in the planting of rice, which has worked
so satisfactorily this season. They will
gladly furnish all possible infor mation
to applicants who want to plant cotton
next spring"
Before the war the acreage devoted tC
the cultivation of cotton in what is now
the orange region of Florida was con
siderable The freeing of the slaves and
the consequent chaotic condition fol
lowing put an abrupt end to cotton cul-
ture and general farming of every char
acter in South Florida. Before the nor
NAL )ndition was resumed, the orange
boom had reached Florida and cotton
and everything else was forgotten and
neglected in the wild scrabble for orange
groves.
1t hardly appears to be good advice to
advise the orange growers of South Flor.
ida to turn their attention to the making
of a crop PROMISING no profit-if we are
to believe the statements of cotton
planters in every section in the South.
Still in agriculture, as in everything else
there is abundance of room at the top
If the people of the orange belt should
engage in cotton raising and produce
an extra fine staple, they would make {
good profit.
The AGRICULTURIsT has told Of an in
cldent that is corroborative of the belize
that the fine staple can be produced
here. During the war of the rebellion
the cotton markets of the United States

the producers. Capt J. w. Starke, VIII.

RETURN OF THE PRoDIuAL
Miss Miller Of waverly Chan ges Her Mind
and Returns Home.

WAvERLY, Neb., Nov. 7.-(Special.)
Miss Alice Miller, one of the elopers
in the quartet that left this village less
than a week ago. returned on the 6:3O
train from st. Joseph and an interview
was granted at her home.
After sympathetic greeting from her
parents, thoroughly penitent and real
lzing the predicament in which she was
placed, she related pathetic story Of

separate coaches, she says, was the fear

their intentions. He advised the young
women to leave the men accompany

ment set her to thinking. He gay
them his address in st. Joseph and said
If, when they reached Kansas City, they
concluded to go no further to telegraph
him at his number and return at once
and they would be turned over to proper
authorities.
When they reached Kansas City de-
spite all the argument and pleading Of
DR.. McCandless to go on she made up
her mind to return and ;telegraphed to
the travelling man when she would be
in st. Joseph. She left the other three
of the party in Kansas City. Before
going the doctor asked for the watch
he had given her, which she says she
readily returned. He gave her no mon
ey when she left him, but she had some

tor, who was going to Arizona, Vining
following him later.
Miss Miller regrets her mistake and
believes the doctor exerted hypnotic in

eral months and took pains to keep
himself within her sight as much as
possible and she was powerless to re-
sist.
Mrs. McCand1eas has not ais vet

strongly of going back to her parents,

Omaha Briefs.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. THE decision rem
dered yesterday in the suit of the Gem
trail Trust company against the ST. Jo-
seph & Grand Island railroad in which
the plaintif wished to foreclose on the
first mortgage bonds it held, was a
good deal of a surprise to parties inter-
ested in railroads.
Judge Sanborn ruled that in the case
of the st. Paul & Grand Island it was a
stipulation which was irregular and OF
no force. He held that foreclosure pro-
ceedings can be begun any time after
there has been a default in payment of
the interest on the bonds or of the prin-
cipal when it is due.
After the rendering of the decision
Attorney Pendleton wished to have
some arrangement by which the hold
ers Of second mortgage bonds would
have the right to bid at the sale which
was ordered, with the understanding
that their bonds would be honored to
titled in the final apportionment of the
results of the sale. Attorneys Calhoun
and Strauss entered a vigorous protest
to this request being entered as it
should have appeared as a cross bill.
The judge held that it mattered little IL
any, whether such a request were grant
ed or not as the second holders would
receive their due apportionment If there
should be anything to apportion to
them. The holders Of the second mort
gage have twenty days to appeal and
that with the time to be consumed in
advertisement, will give no less than
two months for redemption. The prop
erty can not be sold for less than 81, ,00O,-
600 and the purchaser will have to fur
nish a bond of 100000 for the fulfill
ment Of the conditions of the sale. The
amount of the second mortgage DIS ST.
100000. The sale is ordered to occur at
the depot in Hastings.
| An inquest was held this forenoon
over eleven-year-old Ida Gaskill. The
testimony of Detectives Hudson, Dona-
hoe, Drs. Robert and Detweiler and the
mother and brother Of the murdered
girl were taken. A verdict was rendered
to the effect that she came to her death
by strangulatio at the hands OF George
| Morgan.
The funeral occurred this afternoon
from Kountze Memorial church to For
lest Lawn.

New York, Nov. THE much
talked of wedding of Miss Consuelo
Vanderbilt and the Duke of MARI
Thomas church. The hour set for the
beginning of the ceremony was II
o'clock. At that hour the church was
thronged with the Representatives Of
New York's smartest society, gathered
to witness the ceremony. The church
was decorated gorgeously for the oc-
casion, the floral display being without
doubt the most lavish that New York
has ever known. The precautions to
keep out of the church all unlimited
guests and to hold back the crowds
which it was expected would gather in
the streets were amply justified.
At u o'clock the officiating clergy, at
tired In their clerical robes, entered
from the vestry room. Bishop Little
john, who ofticiated, followed by Bish-
op Potter and the Rev. John Wesley
Brown, rector of the church, took their
stations at the chancel and awaited
the arrival Of the bride and bride
groom.
At few minutes before 12 o'clock
carriages containing the bride, her
mother and the bridesmaids drove up
to the church. The bridal party at
once went to the small room at the left
Of the entrance, where the last touches
were put on the gowns and everything
was in readiness for the ceremony.
William X. Vanderbilt reached the
church on the minute of II o'clock. He
drove down from the Metropolitan club
and escorted his daughter to the altar.
The Duke of Marlborough with his
best man, his cousin, the Hon. Ivor
Guest entered the church from the yes
try room and took their posts at the
right Of the chancel and awaited the
coming of the bride. The bridesmaids
led the bridal procession, walking two
and two. Then came Miss Vanderbilt
on the arm Of her father, and carrying
in her left hand the bridal bouquet
The bridesmaids took positions at
either side Of the chancel. The BRIDE
groom stepped forward and took the
right hand of Miss Vanderbilt and led
her to the chancel steps. The marriage
rite of the Episcopal church then fol-
lowed, Bishop Littlejohn officiating.
Immediately after he had given his
daughter away, Mr.. Vanderbilt quietly
left the church.

Kentucky.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. THE re-
publicans are no less surprised tonight
than are the democrats by the result Of
yesterdays election in Kentucky. When
the delayed returns began to come in to-
day Chairman Norman of the demo-
cratic state committee conceded the
election of w. o. Bradley and the en-
tire republican state ticket by plural
tiles ranging from 5000 to 10000 Mr..
Hardin, who was at his home in Har-
rodsburg, also gave up the contest. He
said he had made the best fight pos
si1ble for the interests of his party and
he had nothing further to say.
A study of the returns disclosed some
peculiar facts. The free silver and the
sound money men knitted each other,
one scratching Hardin and the other
scratching the remainder Of the ticket.
Returns on the election of members
of the legislature are incomplete but
still indicate that they will be close. The
democrats claim the election of forty
three representatives and the populists
one, which would make the house a tie

DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. 7.-Ohicial
returns on the election in Iowa come in
very slowly and tonight there is prac-
tically nothing more in sight than was
known last night. The republican state
central committee claims now that
Drake will be elected by about 10000
plurality. One feature which is devel-
oping as returns become more COM
plete is that the prohibition vote of the
state, which was at first supposed to
have been very light, will be about 49,
900 as against 5000 two years ago. The
populist vote will likewise show a very
large increase. The democrats seem to
have been the only sufferers by the light
