A SUDDEN STROKE
Death of ". F. Dodge of the Phoenix
 National Bank.

MT. w. F. Dodge, assistant cashier of the Phoenix National bank, died at the Sisters hospital yesterday after noon without an instant's warning. He had been ill for a little more than two weeks. There had never at any time been Q fear of a fatal termination of his ailment and for three or four days he had been in a state of convales- ence.
 MT. Dodge was seized with a slight attack of typhoid fever two weeks ago last Sunday. He was removed to the hospital and it happened that his par ents MT. and Mrs. w. H. Dodge. of Waukegan, Ills, who had been visit ing him and had gone to the coast, returned the day after his seizure.
 The attack from the beginning was of the mildest character. Last Sunday the fever was wholly abated, but on the advice of his physician, pr. Craig. he did not leave his bed and would not have left it for a couple of days more. At four o'clock yesterday after noon his father was at his bedside. The son asked him to read to him from a magazine. Having read a little while his son asked him if someone was not sweeping III the udlI ne Sd4d ILdl tue dust was oppressive. His father clos ed the transom and resumed his seat. An instant later the son complained of a pain in his left breast. His father asked him a question about it, but he received no reply. Death was instant.
 The ending of such a case could not have been more surprising. There were none of the conditions which con- duce to heart failure. MT. Dodge was not known to have had a weak heart. Death of heart failure following a long

The county court yesterday decided
to construct the court house foundation
by day labor. Architects Lazarus and
Grondahl we're in the city to attend
the adjourned session Of the court,
and stated that the $4,000 bids sub
mitted previously by the contractors
were excessive. They stated that the
foundation could be installed for not
to exceed $4,000, and guaranteed to
do the work for that sum or less. The
court accepted the proposal, and the
architects viii start at once upon the
work. Just how much less than $12,-
0G0 the foundation will cost the county
can not be stated, but the architects
will do the work as cheaply as possi-
the same character OF work that the
contractors recently bid upon. The

The Astorian In in receipt OF a let
ter from James b. Stewart OF Grays
River, Wash. concerning whose brutal
attack upon two elderly men state
ment recently appeared in these col
umns. Stewards letter Is very long
and relates the events that transpired
In the land contest leading up to the
assault. The public is not interested
In this feature OF the matter. Stew
ART expresses the conviction that The
Astorian's informant was w. ". Me-
serve, but In this he Is mistaken. The
story OF the assault was related by a
resident OF Portland who was pres
emit when young Stewart struck down
Messrs. Lawrence and Ahiberg. both
old men, and Mr.. Meserve was in no
way responsible for the publication OF
the statement. Stewart boasts In his
letter that he struck the two old gen.
tlemen, both OF whom. according to his
admission. we're rendered unconscious.
From his letter II ia evident that the
gentleman who acquainted The Asto-
rian with the facts in the matter was
not in error when he referred TO the
young man as a brute Stewart says
that, after he had struck down Mr..
Lawrence. Mr.. Ahlberg rushed at him.
but the gentleman who related the
facts to The Astorian stated that Mr..
Ahiberg he'd merely gone to the pros
trate old man to pick him up. Both
from the original statement and from
young Stewart's letter It is plain that
the assault was wholly unprovoked.
and the young fellow should be thor
oughly ashamed OF himself for his
brutal assault upon the two old men.

OUR COTTON CROP.

Ii is gratifying to know that Will,
this Southland Of ours has no pension
pull, nor tariff made income, nor imi
grafton money, nor seen n grab on the
campaign fund, she does have hel
cotton crop, made out OF her own soil,
10y her own muscle and with her own
money. And it may be you haven't
taken in what that cotton crop means
We are indebted to the Times Dispatch
for reproducing the figures OF one Mr..
lnman, bearing on the subject, and
they are simply remarkable. The
crop Of the past season he tells us, sold
for the enormous sum Of $3.50, 900, coo,
and besides furnishing the mills North
and South with all they used, we ex
ported enough to bring about 1870, OOO,-
600 in gold to this country, being one
quarter as much gold as California has
produced since the discovery Of the vel.
low metal there.
Proceeding on the same line, Mr.. In
man says:
"Six hundred and fifty million dol
lars was enough TO buy every bushel OF
wheat raised in the United States and |
leave $4,000 900 to the good.
1T was enough to buy and pay for |
he'f the corn crop Of two and one /
fourth billion bushels grown in the
United States. The corn crop ls the
only one Of the great crops that exceeds
in value the cotton crop.
Iowa Is the greatest corn growing
state in the world. and produces one
eleventh Of the to- / corn crop of the
United States; yet this year, after grow
ny her D. n aud wheat crops, Georgia
sold her c0ttOd crop for 1900. 900.

'Orn grown in Iowa.

Jack OF US we We imperial money
Producing crop; perpetual inheritance,
ledged about by climatic conditions
nd protected from world competition
which threatens the other crops Once
rec from debt, let US stay out Of debt
nd control our own product, and we
vii see no more five ar six cent cotton
rOps."
The writer mentions the further fact
bat The South pays annually towards
ensions, nearly every dollar OF which
distributed up North, $4,000, 900.
urely Mr.. Roosevelt can not afford to
more and insult a people making such
to the general good Of the
overnment over which he is called TO
reside.
True they did not vote for him and
knows why as well as we do. Un-
sr like conditions he would have done
st as we did. Let him think Of these
Iings and then be President Of the
