A DARING ROBBERY.
Lone Man Held Up Six Poker Players
and Escaped With Entire Jackpot.

Lone Man Held Up Six Poker Players
and Escaped With Entire Jackpot.
Sprinkfeld, Mo, Sept. THE most
daring robbery that has occurred in
this city in many years took place in
a gambling room on one of the prin.
cipal business streets of the city this
afternoon. The robber secured about
81 900 in cash and several hundred
dollars worth of Jewelry.
A poker game was in progress in
which there were six participants,
when a small and rather quiet stran-
ger entered and proceeded TO watch
the play, About 4:30 in the afternoon
as the players were preparing to cash
in, the stranger coolly produced
large revolver and quietly command.
cd them to plice their money and 9th
er valuables in his hat, which he laid
on the table,
Mack n. Brooks. the proprietor of
the house, deposited $400 and dia-
mond valued at $500 in the hat. The
other men followed with their money,
watches and jewelry.
The stranger then informed the
victims to remain upstairs for several
minutes as he had a friend below who
would not hesitate TO take their lives.
They were so stunned by the bold
ness of the affair that the robber
made good his escape before the of;
GERS were notified. Detectives were
at once sent on the trail of the high
wayman, but have failed to get a clew
as TO his whereabouts.

Cotton Yield and Acreage.

In 1874 the number of acres planted
In cotton stood at 10,816,00O. Thirty
years later we have over 100000
acres planted in cotton The increase
in the acreage has been steadily pro-
gressive as rule, each year adding
from $1,000 to 100000 30 the acreage.
High prices have caused a quick leap
to over thirty million acres, this being
the first year in which the acreage has
crossed the thirty-million line.
Is not the increased acreage leading
to decline in the yield per acre? The
population has not trebled in thirty
years, and the labor supply especially
In the picking season may not be
equal to a crop grown on thirty-two
million acres.
Other causes may have contributed
to the fact that in the last seasons we
made but 1873 pounds of lint to the
dcIe, out dllcr dill IL Will U6 lOuHu
that the labor supply is deficient.
The yield per acre is less than it
was fifteen years ago, and much less
than 1t was eight years ago. In 1897
the yield per acre rose to 223 pounds.
This is, however, the highest aver
age yield of our cotton fields, and it
was due in goou part to fine seasonable
weather. Since 1897 the average yield
per acre has been decreasing, but 1t is
still up to the general average of the
last thirty years.
The present acreage would yield at
the rate of 1873 pounds per acre, some
thing over twelve million bales. Ex-
pert observers in the south say there
are not pickers enough to gather much
over eleven million bales The pick
ing depends, however, upon the price
of cotton. Ten-cent cotton is more
readily picked than five-cent cotton
The former Is almost sure to be gath
cred and baled, whereas any excess in
the latter might be left to rot in the
fie1ds
