H UNLESS all predictions fail the

States this year will be the
W largest in the history of the
country. Reports from the
cotton growing sections Indicate that at
least 1l,500,000 bales will be harvested.
an increase of 1,545,045 bales over last
year.
Just what this enormous production
means to the United States and the
world at large is only appreciated by
the few who have made study ct
cotton industry. Marketed ut modr... d
prices. it means the prosperity of tie
planter. 1t means in addition increased
earnings for the railways increased
profits for The manufacturer and de
creased cost of living for the consumer.
all of which factors contribute to the
prosperity OF the country ut large, to
the residents Of the southern states 10
less than to the consumers of the north.
ern states. The whole country will
feel the impetus OF the Increased bust
ness due to such conditions.
This enormous crop. it is confidently
believed. will produce a net profit Of
$S1.35I.0 Geo to the cotton growers of the
south. The great crop is not likely to
make prices extremely low, as the crop
for several wears has been below the
requirements OF the world.
For the last three years English man
ufacturers have been checked by the
scarcity of raw material, and they
will doubtless push their mills TO full
capacity, drawing upon this country
foT raw cotton.
The planter will not be the only one
benefited by the great crop for he viii
have to employ additional men to han
die it, just us he has had to employ
additional hands to plant it. Railroads
which haul this immense crop to mar
ket and the steamboats, which carry
their part to England will share in the
prosperity. American mills will run
full time, and additional help must be
employed, so that many who have been
idle will find work.
1t is estimated that 100000 per-
sons will be affected by this mighty
cotton crop. and the whole population
of the United States and the hundreds
of millions in other parts of the world
will be indirectly affected by the
cheaper clothing and products made
from cotton, which is used so largely
in the home and business lives of all
nations.
The cotton picking season is time
of rejoicing in the entire south. From
the 1st of September until after the
Christmas fires are lighted cotton is
the absorbing topic on the cotton plan
tation. TO the black skinned cotton
pickers it means a certain amount of
ready cash. To the planter it means
the reward of nine months of work,
worry and uncertainty. To the coun-
try storekeeper it means a boom i'll
business and liquidation of old in
debtednesS.
When the streams of English and
northern gold begin to flow to Dixie
land, there is happiness i'll that region.
and when it comes il such volume as
it is sure to come this year it sets the
wheels of enterprise moving and aids
in developing the great natural re-
sources of the southern states.
When the cotton is ready for picking,
a cotton field presents beautiful pic

SUES HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Damages Sought for Alleged Aliena-
tion of Husbands Affections.

! MILWAUKEE, VISA family lawsuit
of more than usual magnitude was begun
yesterday In the superior court. Large
damages are sought by wife from a
mother-in-law on the ground that the lat
ter induced the husband to desert his
wife. Mrs. Emma Lonstorf began suit
against Mrs. Margaret LonstOrf for $780,
600 damages, alleging that the defendant
caused her son, Otto r. Lonstorf to aban-
don his wife under threats of disinheriting
him. Mrs. Margaret Lonstorf is reputed
to be worth $4,000. 900 in her own right.
The Lonstorf family came here from
northern Michigan some years ago and Is
largely interested in valuable Minnesota
mining rights. Mrs. Emma Lonstorf re-
was married to Otto R. Lonstorf in Ne
gaunee. Mich. in July, 1898, and they lived
as husband and wife up to May, 1898. She
alleges that on numerous occasions before
that time Mrs. Margaret Lonstorf sought
to induce her son to leave his wife, but in
vain.
The complainant says that Mrs. Marga-
ret Lonstorf repeatedly threatened to dis
inherit her son If he would not abandon
the plaintiff, and made a will in which
she omitted to make any provision for
him, informing him that she had done so.
The complainant continues that in May,
1898, Otto r. Lonstorf, by reason Of the
pressure brought to bear on him, aban-
doned his wife and has since then refused
to return to her or provide for her. The
result has been that his affections have
become completely alienated from his
wife.

Look at this great railroad, with it's
four tracks running east and west he
