IN THE KINGDOM OF COTTON.

What appear to be the most intelli-
gent and reliable estimates, place the
cotton crop at II, 250,000 bales This
| is about million bales larger than the
crop last year, and the largest crop
ever produced, not excepting the great
yields of 1898 and 1899. For the last
five years the South's cotton crop has
brought nearly $500, 900, 600 more than
for the proceeding five crops. This
years crop will bring an enormous
amount of money into the South
The value of cotton as an export
crop is shown by @. Fl. Poe, of North
Carolina, in Worlds Work:
"Among our American export crops,
cotton towers pre-eminent with $3.50, =

ported any year-whea', corn, barley,
oats, rye, -four, meal, oatmeal, fruits,
vegetables, liquors, tobacco, wine,
cattle, hogs, horses, sheep, beef, pork,
mutton, butter, cheese, canned goods,
lard, oils, wool, timber, lumber, ma
val stores, etc the entire contribution
except cotton, furnished the outside
world by every American farm, ranch
and forest, from Maine to California,
from Michigan to Texas, from Alaska
to Hawaii-take all this, and, with
the proceeds of one years cot'on and
costonseed exports, and safe mort
gage given on the next's years, the
Southern cotton grower could buy the
whole colossal aggregation and still
have surplus of more than 100000,
900 left as PIN money and as a margin
of safety for the mortgage"
When the South produces II, 900, 900
bales of 1O-cents cotton it means pros
perity for the Southern people. The
railroads, the banks, the merchants,
everybody, is benefited From 1896
to 1908 bank deposits in the Southern
States increased 153 per cent, while,
the increase for the rest of the United
States was only 80 per cent.
Mr.. Poe submits an official estimate
to show that the increase during the
past year has been two and one-hali

for Governor this year was 10000 less

while doubtless Democratic boodlers
voted against him. But there were
Democrats who did not vote. The

Evidence is Secured of Bill Knudle's
Crooked Work.

Sheriff Mcbride, of Cass county, Ne
braska, came to the city of Oskaloosa
this morning and together with a cit
izen of Cass county were in consulta-
ton with Sheriff Valentine Of this
county for a time and then all left the
city. They went into the c~ountry,re-
turning about dinner time, having sue
cessfully located and identified prop
erty stolen in Cass county about
June 18th.
1t appears that one Bill" Knudle,
who is a sort of an it%inerant horse
trader, once residing near Newton,
and who was we'll known about New
Sharon and this city, went out into
Nebraska in his work and stole 4
number of teams and rigs which he
drove into Iowa and disposed Of. He
was later apprehended in Nebraska,
convicted of his shady doings and
sentenced to a term in the Nebraska
| state prison. He afterwards told OF
having disposed Of the property at Of
tumwa, Oskaloosa and other places,
and one of the owners and the sheriff
Of Cass county came to this city to
locate the property, in which work
they were partially successful. The
buggy, a fairly good vehicle, was
found in the possession OIL Dick Mas
| teller, and upon identification wal
promptly turned over to the owner.
One of the horses was traced to a
Mahaska farmer, who had sold it to
r. J.. Baker, and he had shipped the
horse to eastern markets some time
ago. The search for the other animal
was continued this afternoon.
Knudle was known about this city
as a horse dealer, but was thought to
be perfectly straight in all of his deal
ings. Sheriff Valentine states that he
made numerous purchases of him
while he was located at New Sharon,
and never suspected but that the fell
low was perfectly square.
The prisoner is now confined, and
having served this term, will be con-
fronted by several other charges of
like nature.
