our BEST PAYING CROP.

Cotton and its products will bring
more than 400 million dollars into the
United states from other parts of the
world in the fiscal year which ends
with next month. Last year the total
exports of cotton and it's products
amounted TO 376 million dollars, and a
statement just issued by the depart
ment of commerce and labor through
its bureau of statistics shows that in
raw cotton alone the total for the
present year exceeds the figures of last
year by nearly 80 million dollars, thus
indicating that the grand total of cot
ton and its products exported viii ex-
coed 400 million dollars in value
The products of cotton other than the
raw cotton fiber which go to form this
enormous total, far exceeding in value
that of any other single crop exported,
are cotton-seed oil. cotton-seed meal.
cotton waste. cotton seed in the nat
ural state. and cotton manufactures. In
cotton-seed oil and cotton-seed meal
the growth in exports during recent
years has been very great, and their
exports now amount to more than Is
million dollars annually, while but a
comparatively short time ago the cot
ton seed from which they are nanufac-
tured was considered valueless. The
value of eotton-seed oil exported from
the United States last year was over
IA million dollars. In the present year
the figure falls somewhat below that of
last year, owing to the large home de-
mand, and something of a falling off in
the demand from abroad.
The value of cotton-seed oil exported
from the United States during the past
decade aggregates a round los millions
of dollars. In 1889 the total of cotton
seed .oil exported amounted to only a
little over million dollars. In 1890
however, it was over 5 millions; in 1895
millions; by 1900 it had grown to IA
millions. and in 1903 it was 14A mil
lions.
Cotton-seed meal is another article

sufficient Importance to justify its sep
arate statement in the list of articles
exported from the United States. In
1895 the total was about 4 million dol
lars; in 1888. it was millions; in 1900,
II millions. and by 1903 had grown to
l2A millions.
Cotton manufactures form another

partly by reason of the high price of
cotton and partly by reason of condi-
tions in the Orient, to which large
proportion Of the cotton cloths export
ed from the United States in recent
years has been sent. Our total exports
of cotton manufactures had never
reached as much as 10 million dollars
prior to 1877 BY 1887 the total amount
ed to practically Is million dollars; by
1897, to q millions; and in 1903 to 80
millions. In the present fiscal year the
total will probably not exceed % mil

The Mosque of Omir, a Mohammedan
church on the site of King Solomon s

enormous expense. This building is in

the dome alone is said to be expended
$4,000 IN painting to reproduce the

Difficulties Are Encountered on the

This morning while returning from a
Chicken house fire at Fifteenth and
Chandler streets, the chemical fire engine
from headquarters got stuck in the mud
which Is characteristic of that part of the
city. The gumbo was clear up TO the
hubs of the wagon and il was thought IL
would be impossible for the horses TO get
it out. A message was sent to the head
quarters for an extra team Of horses, but
before the horses arrived the wagon was
started out of the mud
Chief Wilmarth's buggy was also stuck
in the mud, and it required the combined
energies of three men to lift il out
The fire consumed a chicken house and
a couple of sheds owned by VIM. Scott
1t was started by boy who set
house to kill lice The probability is that
the lice are all dead, for the shed was en-
tirely consumed. The loss was about $40

BATTLEsHIP SINKS.
Russian ship OreI Goes Down at Her
Anchorage in the Baltic.

Cronstadt. May 23.-The battleship
Orel. which was brought here some
days ago to receive her main battery
and to be given the finishing touches
before going into commission, sud
denly sank at her anchorage on the
night of May 20 Vice Admiral Ro-
jestversky, commander-in-chief OF the
Baltic squadron. was instantly called
from St Petersburg. and under his
supervision the work of pumping out
and raising the Orel was begun.
The ship was raised this morning
and was found to be unchanged save
that her interior was filled with dirty
salt water. An examination showed
that her Kingston valves had been
opened, permitting the water TO rush
in It is suggested that the careless
ness Of a workman might have been
responsible for the opening of the
valves, but an investigation into the
affair is progressing.

County Commissioners Decide After

a typewriter. The Office has never been
supplied with one as It should be. Lay
cock requestd the board of county COM

Laycock announced this morning that
as he was not to be furnished with a
typewriter that there was no need of
his remaining in the position as without
typewriter there would be nothing
for him to do. Hungate needs ste

writer. Hungate went before the coun-

but the members were much surprised
when informed that they had refused

it as it stands, and woman is high
ly tlattered, but read alternate lines
Gone and three, two and four of
each verse; and the sentiment is
very much the reverse:
Happy u man may pass his life
If he's directed by II wife:
II free from matrimonial chains
He's sure to suffer for his pains.
No tongue is able to unfold
The virtues in woman you behold;
The falschOods that in woman dwell
Are almost impcrccptible.
In woman's heart you'll see appear
Truth, darling of II heart sincere;
Hypocrisy, deceit and pride,
In woman never can abide.
Destruction take the men, say,
Who no regard to woman pay;
Who make the women their delight,
Keep always reason in their sight.
