scPIanterS to Be Protected From
False Cotton Statistics

the census bureau should secure and
distribute statistics concerning the cot
ton crop The department of agricul-
ture. at about the end of the ginning
season, publishes it's report on the
cotton crop, which has been the only
official publication on the subject here
tofore.
THE trouble about the report Of the
department of agriculture is that it
comes out after the planters Of the
south have sold their crops. 1t makes
very little difference to them what
the crop Is except as matter Of Curl
osity. Their financial interest in it
has ceased except in such rare cases
that they do not affect the problem as
q whole
ut ia believed by tho census bureau
that. after the world at large comes TO-
have confidence in its reports as being
free from any bias and based on the
very best information obtainAble. they
will have . very inhuential tendency
to steady the market and to give the
planter for his cotton al that II: Is
worth.
"For instance, the difference be-
tween 7 and 10 cents . pound would
be over 500 o.000. 900 ON the entire crop.
II it eventually turns out that the nor
NAL conditions and full knowledge
Of the size Of the crop would make
it worth 10 cents q pound, while the
planter has sold it for cents, then,
his loss would be equal to that diff
ference in the price.
''The bulk OF the advantage Of high
estimates of the cotton crops is So
cured by the foreign trade. Those high
estimates bring down the price, and
the foreign market takes twothirds
OF the entire American crop"

GENERAL MANAGERS REPORT.
Account Of the Holdup as Wired to
Headquarters.

st. Paul, Aug. PA telegram has
been received by the general manager
of the Northern Pacific railway from
a division superintendent, stating that
train No. of that road, in charge OF
Conductor William Gilbert and Engi-
neer G. H. Wilson, had been stopped
four miles west of Sand Point, Ida, by
a gang of seven or eight men.
The engineer was ordered to call out
the express messenger and went back
to the express car for that purpose,
but the messenger refused to come
out. There was considerable shouting,
and the bandits shot their guns re-
peatedly in the air, but evidently be-
came frightened, for they ordered the
fireman to cut off the engine and the
engineer to run it two miles west. aQn
stopping the engine, the engineer was
ordered to walk back to his train
About twenty shots were fired, but
no one hurt and no one robbed.
Officers were notified of the attempt,
ed robbery as soon as possible.
A tramp named William Pearson,
who was stealing a ride on the bag
gage car, said that he saw two of the
mems faces and could identify them
He was held at Spokane.
The work is believed to be that OF
tramps.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 27.-The west
bound Northern Pacific train was held
up at Sand Point, Ida, sixty-five miles
east of here, at II p. m. The robbers,
of when there were seven, forced the
engineer to stop the train, after which
they uncoupled the express car. Then
they compelled the engineer, at the
point of revolver, to pull up the track
about three miles further, where they
tried to wreck the car with dynamite.
The explosives failed to work for some
unknown cause and after spending flf-
teen minutes with the car the robbers
decamped, allowing the engineer to go
back to the train with the engine.
Two other thugs had guarded the
train, keeping the passengers inside
by firing revolvers along the sides.
No attempt was made to modest the
passengers and, after the engine came
back, the other robbers left and the
train came on to Spokane. The train
was heavily loaded.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which. is moth.
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall'f
