COTTON GROWING IN WEST
riore Than fiaif Crop Raised West
Mississippi River.

Time produces and reveals econ
omic movements ofgreat magnitude.
Few tendencies may perhaps create
more surprise than the account Of
western direction in the cotton
growing area in this country.
Wheat,and corn have gone West,
many other great industries have
emigrated from old centers. Per-
haps it is natural then to expect
that new tendencies may be mani
tested also in the cotton industry.
1t appears that more than one
half the cotton crop this year will
produced west of the Mississippi
river. According to the estimates Of
the Department Of Agriculture 1900
shows cotton area east of the Mis-
sissippi of l4,168,00 acres, and
west of that river 10,868, 900 acres.
AS the yield per acre on the western
is higher than IN the east owing TO
the greater richness Of new soils,
the trans-Mississippi region viii
actually furnish more tnan halt Of
the whole supply for 1900 Texas,
with over 100000 acres, will itself
produce one-third of the entire
cotton crop. 1t will amaze many to
know perhaps that 19O0's product
ion of lint cotton in Oklahoma has
been not less than 78,OOO,OO0 pounds
while the satisticians give the In
dian Territory's crop as nearly
l0O,000,000 pounds. 1t may be
noted that Olahoma's crop is ten
times that of Virginia and 81 times

ELECTION WAS LEGAL.
TinsIey is Circuit Judge of Twenty
Seventy District.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 8.-Gov.
Beckham this morning decided that
the election held in the Twenty
seventh Circuit Court district in
November last was legal and that
Judge J. H. Tinsley, of Barbour
vile, IS 0entitled to certificate.
Tinsley was the only candidate and
received 1878 votes.
The State Election Commission
did not issue a certificate to Judge
Tinsley and the point was raised
before Gov. Beckham that as no
proclamation had been issued call
ing an election, that none could be
held. The Governor heard argu-
ment Of attorneys and decided that
the point is not we'll taken.

Balloon Adventure.

AT Vincennes balloon experiment
has been carried out with view of
ascertainipg how high the balloon
could go. The balloon, occupied by
Capt. Balsan and NJ GODDARD, attained
an altitude Of $4,000 feet. During
the ascent Capt. Balsan became in
sensible and was almost paralyzed,
and only by the prompt attentions Of
his companion, who administered
oxygen, was he able to recover Aft
er that, both held the oxygen tubes
in their mouths. AT 1000 feet they
still had ballast to throw out, but they
had become SO weak that their com
bined strength would not enable them
to throw the bag over the side, and
they we're compelled to descend.

The choice of Judge Burnham,

party in New Hampshire. His OPP

THE MEXICAN DOLLAR.
Is the Standard of Value in a Large
Portion of the Earth,

Portion of the Earth.
The Mexican dollar, says w. E.
Curtis, in the Chicago Record, has
been the standard of value in the Pa
cifc ports of Asia, and also in the
Spanish West and East Indies for a
century or more. There is no record
of the time or the reasons for its adop-
ton. But for generation after gener-
alton the1nints Of Mexico have turned
out hundreds Of millions Of silver dol
lars, which have been shipped to the
Chinese ports, to Cuba, to Porto Rico,
to the Philippines, to Formosa and
elsewhere, and accepted by the peo-
pie as legal tender China practically
has no coinage except brass ~cash"
or pennies-and the Mexican dollar
lis equivalent to the tael. If you go
into a bank in China and present
draft you will receive Mexican dol
lars. They are not only used for
money, but are treated as bullion, and
are melted up by the Chinese and
East Indians for use in the manufac-
lures and the arts In the absence Of
savings banks, it is customary for
those who are fortunate enough to ac-
cumulate supply to melt them and
pour the metal into hole in the
ground, very often under the floor Of
the dwelling or shop, which is the
safest place to keep the surplus from
the avaricious mandarins, who usu-.
ally find some way of "squeezingD%
merchants and others who have been
able to accumulate wealth.
Some years ago the government of
the United States attempted to find
a market in the east for the product
of our silver mines in the form of
coin Of the same weight and fneness
as the Mexican dollar 1t was called
the "trade dollar but the efforts to
introduce it were unsuccessful, andv
after long experiment the coinage
was suspended and the dollars were
called in for redemption,

She must understand that, though

idea that the bullet was poisoned.
DR.. Mann did not know whether the
bullet was poisoned or not and said it
would be difficult to determine.
