Another murder case Is on trial
in the district court, the defendant
being Hanna Steele, the negro wom-
an who is alleged to have killed
Amanda Flowers, colored, at Fer

Walker, but in consideration of her
testitying for the state In the case

against her will be Withdrawn.
The defendant now on trial looks
to be about forty-five years old and
the crime for which she was indict-
ed by the grand jury was most
atrocious one. The offense was
committed at the brick yard in Fer
ris one night last October, and the
victim, Amanda Flowers, was badly
cut and stabbed with knife, one of
the cuts almost severing her head
from the body. Mary Walker and
Hanna Steele were arrested that
night and lodged In the county Jail
AT the December term Of court both
were indicted by the grand jury.
Since their Incarceration In jail they
have obstinately refused to .alk Of
the killing, but this morning Mary
Walker sent County Attorney Far

make a complete confession. Be

COTTON MOVEMENT.
Secretary Hester Makes Analysis for
 Six Months Since September.

New Orleans, March 16-Secretary Hes ter's analysis of the cotton movement for the six months of the season from Sep tember to the close of February inclu- slve, shows that compared with the crop movement last year, Texas, including In- dian Territory, has brought Into sight this season in round figures 156OOO less. while other gulf states which Include Ar kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi Tennessee, Missouri and Oklahoma, have marketed 99,0OO more and the group of Atlantic states, which include North and South Carolina, Georgia. Florida, Alabama and Virginia, 112,0o0 more, making the net increase in the total of crop marketed 55,0O0.
 MT Hester shows the amount brought into sight by groups of states for the six months of this season as follows:
 Texas and Indian Territory 2.454. .761 bales a decrease under same time last year of 156 165. decrease under year be- fore last of el5 PA and an increase over the same time in 1900 of 1i9,O34
 Other gulf states 2966, ISL an increase over last year of 99,40i. an increase over year before last of 62S 44S and an increase over 1900 of 50734S.
 Atlantic states g. 4Os, l11, an increase over last year of III ,54s an increase over year before last of 592, sl5 and an increase over 1900 of 45S, 674
 Total crop in sight at close of February S'S293o3, an increase over last year of 54- 7SS, over year before last of 60l, ,134 and an increase over 1900 of l10.056
 The foregoing figures for this year in elude the Galveston deduction of 59O0O bales which was announced by the Gal weston exchange on March 7 but all of which affects the total in sight to Feb ruary 2S
 The Texas movement is exclusive of s2,oo3 bales Oklahoma cotton moved to and via. Texas points to the close of February this year, against S6Ss4 last year and 13 435 year before last
 The adjustment of the Oklahoma figures which heretofore has been made at the close of the season has been rendered necessary by increase of the Oklahoma crop and large excess of shipments to and via Texas points, which heretofore was marketed '" other routes. This ad- 1ustment does not affect the insight totals being only q matter of distribution by geographical divisions. The total movement from Oklahoma to February zS was lts6sl this year against 1244S1 last year and ll0o92 in 1901. Total Oklahoma crop which is included in other gulf states lSoSl2 last year and 119,O63 in igOo- 1901. -'9V

SOLDIERS NAMES

 Families May Be Able to
 Trace History.
SECRE TARY ROOTS PROJECT

Washington, March 16.-By direction of Secretary Root, the war department today embarked on the extensive work of com pilng and punishing d complete roster Of the officers and enlisted men of the union and confederate armies. This is the sec retarys own project, and he succeeded In impressing congress with the idea that 1t would be only just and fair to the south to place on the otLcial lists the names of the confederate soldiers, in order that the descendants may trace their family his tories with accuracy. The north, through separate publications, have covered pretty well this ground for it's own soldiers but the southe~0 records and arehieves, never very complete were scattered and de stroyed owing to the outcome of the war an. it is known many frauds are prae- ticed on the benevolent and many families lack important links in the histories be- cause of the loss of these records. Secre- tary Root in calling this matter to the ,ntion of congress, said the depart ment was constantly in receipt of appeals from state officials and historical socie- ties and patriotic or memorial associa- tions for transcripts of the military re- cords of state troops, to answer which would cost more than a million dollars so that the most economical way would be to pubnsh complete roster. Provision for the act was accordingly made by the last congress. 1ne publication will be enormous in size. including no less than thirty volumes as large as the rebellion records

The northern names will be published with the southern, because it is desired to have all these data in one compilation, instead of being scattered through va rious state books.

In order to carry out this purpose, Secre- tary Root today sent the following let ter to the governors of all states, which furnished troops for the Confederate arp1ias.

War Department. "Washington, March 1G, 1903


 "The Governor of the State of ----:
 "Sir-There is a very general desire on the part of the surviving participants of the great struggle in which the country was engaged from 1861 to 1865, and part of the descendants of those who have passed away, for a publication that shall be accessible to the general public and shall show the names of those who either as officers or enlisted men bore arms for the union and for the Confederacy during the great war.
 ''The department Is prepared to enter at once upon the work of making the compilation thus authorized and to push it to completion as rapidly as possible There will be little or no difficulty in making the union part of the roster com plete but there will be great difficulty with regard 10 the Confederate part be- cause of the incompletensss of the col lection of Confederate records in the pos session of this department. It is of the first importance. therefore, that no ef- fort shall be spared to secure the tempor- ary loan to the war department, for the purpose of copying of any and all au- thentic Confederate records that can be found anywhere
