Colonel William F. COdy's authentic life is
now published. and, considering his active
career. is not a formidable particularly val
liable volume. He gives the following account
OF his first good Indian:
It was about 10 o'clock and we were keeping
very quiet and hugging close to the bank, when l
happened 10 look up 10 the mOonlit sky and saw
the plumed head OF Indian pecping over the
bank Instead OF hurrying ahead and alarming
the In quiet way, instantly aimed my gun
at his head and fired. The report rang out sharp
and loud on the night air. and Immediately
followed by Indian whoop. and the next moment
about six feet of dead Indian came tumbling into
the river. / not only overcome with astOnlsh-
ment but badly scared, as l could hardly re-
alize what had done. From that time for
ward I became a hero and Indian killer. This
was. OF course. the first Indian l had shot

the romance, the book is sane
and bright and wholesome.
1t possesses that excellent
quality which the higher
critics call 'verisimilitudc,'
but which goes by the easier
names of lifelikeness and
naturalness; and is not the
less worth while for the

seems to be in progress. Having com

Russian position, General Kurek has
zOr!eTud simultaneously an advance
from all points against Haicherg and

fronts &D', still continues. The latest
rcroTtr, contain nothing yet confrma-
tor of the rumors that General Kuro-
patkin has been defeated. According
It Kuropatkin's official dispatches to
the Emperor, the battle began for the
possession Of the important position
~ SimOucheng, which is located at
the iuncture of the Feng Wong Yeng
and Sin Yen roads. Two separate arm
les were launched from above the
roads. while the third, under General

the Japanese employed artillery tt

Cotton Crop Bulletin.

The following cotton region bulle-

THE crop continues to make good
progress, and reports from nearly all
sections Of the belt are satisfactory,
ample rains having fallen and re-
lieved the droughty conditions pre-
vailing in districts Of Texas and
Louisiana during last week.
There are some complaints of she'd
ding in Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas, however, in the latter State
the boil weevil is doing SO far very
little injury to the crop, and it still
remains to be seen if they will do any
extensive damage.
Picking has begun in manp por.
tions of the belt and becoming gener
al in South Texas, and considerable
new cotton will come forward during
August, provided weather conditions
are favorable.
"On the whole the prospects al
present are for very large yield, but
the crop has had to pass through 6
most critical period Of deterioration
during the next thirty days, and con

ed through that time, as the course O.
