CORN AID COTTON.
Two Staples in Which the United
States Leads the World,

Cotton and corn are the two great
American staples, and the two in
which the United States stands cas-
lily at the head not only of all coun-
tries, but of all countries combined.
The total cotton supply of the
world, figured on the basis of bales
of 400 pounds each, is about l2,OOO,-
600 bales, and of this amount the
United States produces about o.
100000 bales, or three-fourths Of
the whole amount. The crop here
attained the highest figures before
the war, in 1860, when it was a.
6OO,0 900 bales of 47O pounds; 1892
was the best year for cotton since,
the crop being 9,OOO,O bales of
40 pounds.
The corn acreage of the United
States tor 1894 is $1,000, 900 acres,
and the total product 1900, 900, 600
bushels, of the value of about $780,
100000. The great corn year was
1889, with crop Of 2,lOO, 900, 900
bushels; 1892 followed with 1000,
900 900 bushels. In 1892 and 1893
the figures were about the same
! 800, 100000 bushels. Compared
with the value of the cotton and
corn crop, the other agricultural
productions of the United States
occupy a subordinate position, the
value of the wheat crop being 1926, :
OOO,OOO oats, $2l4, ,OOO,O 900; pota'
toes, $9l 100000; barley $27, 900,
oOOj rye, $l3,OOO,OOO, and buck
wheat, s7,OOO,OOO,
Two surprises, because of the
difference in value compared with
ordinary public expectations, are
hay aud tobacco. The hay crop OF
the United States amounted last
year to $45S, 100000 in value; the
tobacco crop, on the other hand,
amounted to only $27 100000, The
last last year preceding Q893) the
tobacco crop was 80 per cent great
er, and considerably more than half
Of it came from two states, Ken

A COUCH IN COURT,
ilrs. sareh sponser Sues the Iron
Mountain Railroad for 100000
Damages.

The proceedings in Federal court
Yesterday in the suit of Mr., Sarah
o. Spenser against the st, Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern Rail
way for 800 600 damages were very
interesting. The plaintiff was
brought into the court room on a
couch and she gave testimony rela-
tive to her health, business, etc,
prior to the accident at Texarkana
on May "a, last, Mrs, Spenser has
evidently suffered very much, Her
lower limbs are completely parrlyz
ed and she is almost totally help
less,
A number Of depositions taken in
California have been introduced as
testimony, showing that Mrs, Spen-
ser conducted large and extensive
'businesss affairs in that State and
that she stood high in commercial
circles. Dispositions were also read
showing that she was in good health
anterior to the Texarkana acci-
dent,
DR.. Archibald Church, an emf
nent Chicago specialist in nervous
diseases, testified Yesterday after
noon concerning his treatment OF
Mrs. Spencer in Chicago subsequent
to the accident. He explained elab-
orately the susceptibility of the hu-
man anatomy to paralysis Dr.
Church had not seen Mrs, Spenser
since October last until yesterday,
and when asked as to her condition
now and then, said she is now in a
worse condition than when he ey
amined and treated her before. He
said that the lower eXtremitles are
totally insensitive to pain, as prov
ed by pricling the limbs with pins
and prodding hot irons,
The case is attracting great
deal of attention, Messrs Dodge u
Johnson are representing the rail-
road and Messrs W. E Hemming
way, and Paul Jones, Of Texarkana
are conducting the plaintiffs side.
It is likely several days will be occu-
pied in the trial Arkansas Ca

WEALTH OF TIE WORLD.

Some interesting comparisons are
afforded by the census figures OF
the wealth Of the United States
with the estimated valuation oi the
other great commercial COMMITTEES
OF thc world II is not an uncom-
mon impression among those VINO
have not cxauulicd the subject chat
the United States stand in the iront
rank of the commercial nations in
wealth and average earnings, but
this is not a fact The aggregate
for this country slightly exceeds
that of any one country in Europe
because our population is 80 much
larger, but the per capita wealth Is
smaller, even at The inflated values
returned from some Of the Western
States, and there are few such stores
OF circulating capital for inyests
ment in the United States as in
Great Britain and France. II Is a
simple propositien that, if the U. S.
stood at the head of'the commercial
nations, she would command the
money market of the world instead
Of being tributary, In measure to
the Bourse of Paris and the stock
exchange Of London
The reported valuation olall prop
erty In the United States, by the
census Of 1890 was 500, ,O37 O0l lO7;
or 81 ,03G per capita for the entire
population, This enumeration, how
ever, dealt with property located IN
the United States and did not &c
into the question where II Is owned
II the estimate Of Mr. Robert Gif'
fen Is correct, that 81, 900, 900, 900 In
foreign capital was invested In this
country In 1880, probably an even
larger amount Is 50 invested at the
present time. Deduction should
also be made for the high value put
upon waste public lands In the cen
sus, with the net result that the
per capita valuation of the United
States would be reduced to about
$3.50 or ~, 7bO for a family Of FIVE
Estimates made by careful econo
mlsts, who come pretty near agree
ment among themselves, put the
valuation Of Great Britain about
nine years ago at $50, 900, 900, 900 ant
that of France at $40, 900, 900, OOl
This would afford per capita valu
ton of 81 1893 for Great Britain ant
81 $50 for France, making the valu
alton for a family Of five In Grea'

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY,
A Gotten Belt Train Held up Near
McEeill Last Night.

About o'clock last night, one
and a half miles south of Mcneil,
the Southbound Cotton Belt pas
senger train was held up, and the
express car robbed, Only two men
were engaged in the work and it is
supposed they boarded the train at
Mcneil. Shortly after leaving
that station engineer Jack Crowley
saw two men climbing over the ten.
der, with drawn revolvers, and when
they commanded him to stop the
train he did So Robbers wore a
mask-a white handkerchief over
the lower half of their faces, with
slouch hats pulled down over their
eyes They made the engineer aud
fireman open up the express car,
which was in charge of messenger
], W. Massey After getting the
safe key from him, they made him
get out Of the car, but the robber
being unable to open the safe lorcr
ed Massey to come back and open it
for him. The safe was quickly
emptied of its contents, and every
thing Of value taken. Two mileage
books for the editors of New Lewis
vile, were thrown aside on the car
floor as dross. Conductor Charlie
Harris, went up to the front, about
the time the robbery was over, to
investigate the cause of the stop,
and he was held up and robbed of
Sl5 and his fine gold watch; when
he demonstrated that the watch
and part of the money was his own
property, the bandits returned him
the watch and some small change,
(about $3.50 saying they wanted
no private property.
Bandits did not molest the mail
car or passengers.
The hod-up only occupied seven
minutes time, aud the train men
we're ordered aboard aud away, at
its conclusion,
The amount Of money gotten can
not be ascertdined, as the messeng-
er, whom we saw, is not allowed to
make any statement for publica-
ton. It is NOT thought TO be a
large amount, as the express COM
pauy carry few valuable packages

sepger, informed us that both ban
dts were of medium size, and APP

THE record of G. 5. Jobes, our newly
appointed bank commissioner, was
thoroughly aired up by j. d. Bradley
in the State Journal of last Saturday.
1t seems that in 1890 Jobes filed a
defamation suit against George H..
Young IN Harper county district court
and after Young made his ans werJ obes
Withdrew his prosecution instanter.
The answer sets forth that Jobes had
a general reputation in and around
Attica for rascality and scoundrelism
and the avowed schemer and plunderer
OF the community. 1t goes on to say
that whenever the people of that vicin-
ity wanted to condemn man they
would say, "he is as mean a man as
Jobes, he Is as biga rascal as lobe 8, he
is as big a thief as Jobes." That it
was a common saying in the neighbor-
hood that "Jobes was a rascal, a liar,
thief, a robber who would swear to
anything and that they, the people,
would not believe him under
OATH" This is only small extract of
the defendants answer: it occupies
over column of the State Journal and
Is rich reading matter. 1t was claimed
that Jobes WAS among the best of Nor
rills sppontees; if this be true, it makes
us shudder to think of the worst. Jobes
and bis Attica sugar mill record is a
scorcher on common decency.

Becoming Fashionable Psssime for the

The bicycle is winning distinction,
writes Paris correspondent of the
New York Tribune. Since Lord Duff.
ferin began to take his morning con.
stitutional rides on low bicycle in
the Bots the steel horse has become
fashionable, but only between eight
and eleven in the forenoon. Clemen.
ceau. who, if a tribune of the people,
likes to pass Tor being ''chic," has dis.
mounted from his park hack to cycle
in the morning. lola takes lessons
and hopes soon to be a good rider.
Aristocratic youths who are growing
mp under the care of reverend fathers
at JULY, Vanguard and the Rue de
Madrid spend their Thursday HOLIDAYS
at ''veloee schools and in making ex.
cursions under the eyes of ''veloce
trainers" The trainer now directs his
efforts greatly to the teaching of an
easy upright carriage on the cycle. It
is not easy to acquire such 6. seat,
though the thing is possible The
proper carriage is called s'un siege de-
gentleman" It would seem as If the
baC 9SiC vocabulary SOu1O AOL get on
without borrowing from the English.
Judging from the coinages which are
so fast enriching it, it seems to me that
the rule that is growing up is for one
half of every composite word to be
English. Examples of this are 'sveloca
port" 'tveloces man." ''veloce suit"
s.lightning veloce" and ''veloce rider
The word ''veloeef did not exist sig
years ago. It is contraction of I've
loeepede," the old-fashioned name for
the bicycle.
lola only took to cycling after he.
had seen some ''veloce trainers for
fair ''artistes" look as well on their
steel steeds as cavalry officers on their
horses. The cycle has not yet been
brought into the novel of any first
rate author. But, being now in gen.
eral use, for at any rate the stronger
sex, we may expect soon to find it In
vested with literary interest
