SUES UNCLE SAM.
Gets a Verdict for TwO-HuDdred
Thousand Dollars.

After litigation extending over six
years an opinion handed down by
Judge Adams in the United States dis
trict court, New York, declares that
the United States must pay S2O3, 2l9. 80
to the owners of the British ship Eos
cola, sunk on May %, 1898, by the
cruiser Columbia.
The Columbia was doing scout duty
during the Spanish American war of
the North American coast. She had
all lights covered and was not sound
ing the fog signals required by mari
time law. Ten miles south of the Fire
Island light she sent the Foscolia to
the bottom. No lives were lost.
Judge Adams decided that the Co.
lumbia was at fault. and caused the
collision, and that the United States
was as responsible for its vessels at sea
as a private owner would be if it dis
regarded the international rules OF the
road at sea.

CENSUS BUREAUS REPORT PLACES
DAMAGE AT $4,000, 900.
UnOped BoIIs Threshed and Ginned Pro-
duced 37,695 Bales. Half of Texas
Infested by the Insect.

The census bureau has issued the
final report on cotton ginning in the
United States for the crop of 1903. 1t
shows for the first time that the re-
claiming of cotton by threshing un-
opened bolls whose vitality has been
destroyed by frosts or insects effected
q saving of this inferior cotton this
season in northern Texas, Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma estimated at 3d.
sos bales. Computed on the basis of
three-tifths of the average price of
strict middling the value added to the
crop by cotton obtained from these I'M
opened bolls is placed at 1881, 1877.
Notwithstanding the destructive eff
fects of the boil weevil and boil worm
and early frosts the Texas crop in
1903 shows decrease of only 26,932
bales, or little over one per cent, as
compared with 1902. Careful Inquiry
regarding the boil weevil has develop
ed the fact that this insect is now in
90 of the 178 cotton producing counties
of Texas, and destroyed cotton of the
crop of 1903 amounting to 739, $50 bales,
which is the difference between an am
pie and short crop for the country.
Including the value of the seed the
loss is equivalent to $40, $3.50. A
estimate of the loss re-
sulting to Texas from the imperfect
weather conditions which affected
that section in common with the other
cotton states is placed at 227, 945 bales.
The proportion of the Texas crop to
the total crop increased from % 5 per
cent in 1902 to 25. per cent in 1903.

1t is also certain cure for croup.
Whooping cough is not dangerous
when this remedy is given. 1t con-

is about double that of the mines.
An examination of the official re-

that the coal properties owned by

are absurdly low. In Las Animas

the largest that has been held here
this fall. Hundreds OF men stood on
the arena floor at the rear and

cupiad. Hundreds OF the leading cit
izans OF Omaha and vicinity occupied
places upon the stage as vice presi'
dents OF the meeting. Congressman
Hitchcock presided, and he, too, was
given a highly fl Altering reception.
Mr.. Folk was welcomed by Omaha
with an ardor and noisy acclaim
that his own Missourians could hard
ly have equaled, and that told elo'
quently the story Of his place in the
affections OF Nebraska This In
domitable and untiring enemy OF
the foes OF good government, to
whom Democratic bOodler looks
just as bad as a Republican boodler,"
is a dark complexioned man OF me-
dunn height and square build, mod
est and unassuming in manner, with
features OF cameo like clearness OF
outline and a face on which is stamp
ed iearlessness and aggressive hon
esty. He has a clear, mellow and
penetrating voice, that was heard
without difficulty in the iarthest cor
ner OF the auditorium. His style OF
speech is direct and simple. His zen.
fences are short and crisp and there
ia never the slightest doubt as to
what he means. The faintest trace
Of the engaging southern accent adds
charm to his speech. His blows are
fairly struck and honestly planted,
with an Impact that resOunds."
