COTTON EXPORT CASE
 TO SUPREME COURT
Decision Will Be Rendered in the Relations of American Producers
 to Their Foreign Agents.

Washington, April 16.--The rela. tions of American cotton exporters to their foreign agent is the subject of a suit the supreme court will be asked to review within the next few days. Informal application for the review was today lodged with ths court.
 The case is one in which the Birge Forbes company of Sherman, Tex. was held liable to it's foreign ager, at Bremen for $43,000 damages. This amount was the sum the agent pail to purchasers of cotton for selling cotton to them not up to grade.
 The Texas firm was sued in the federal courts of Texas after arbi. traters selected in accordance witt, the rules of the Bremen cotton ex, change had held the purchasers wera entitled to damages. The Texas firm now complains that the arbi- trary difference in grades fixed by the Bremen exchange should not have been used in the arbitration. It is claimed this would have invalidated the claim of the agent for reparation from the exporters.

RURAL ASSOCIATION WILL MEET TOMORROW
Delegates Urged to Attend Meeting in Unity Hall Tomorrow-Promi-
 nent Men to Speak.

Delegates from this city are ex-
 pected to attend the meeting of the
 Hartford County Rural Improvement
 society to be held at Unity hall in Hartford tomorrow. The session will
 open at II a. m. and will continue through the afternoon, with addresses.
 by many prominent men. F. H. Johnston and Colonel C. M. Jarvis will be among the speakers. Others who will be heard are Mayor Lawler of Hartford; Professor c. D. Jarvis, l.. G. Dodge; l.. A. Clinton A. J. Schenerle, Governor Baldwin, Con- gressman A. F. Lever, Joseph w. AL sop and Congressman Augustine Lon eDgan.
 One of the chief aims of the asso- citation is to bring about a closer re- latiOnship between the town and the city and between the consumer and the producer. That this association means business and intends to act as
 we'll as talk is evidenced by meet
 ing held at Plainville in October. For
 twenty years there had been lots of talk about organizing a COW testing association, but nothing had ever i been done. Tn October this matter was taken up and by the first of January the association was in work ing order.
 This COW testing association is but one of the many things that can be &C., i complished by such an improvement society. By COW testing associa- tion each COW in a herd is singled out and its milk tested once a month for year. At the end of that time the farmer can tell whether or not any one COW is giving the right kind of milk and whether or not she is an economical proposition.

FIGHTING IN The
'HORNETS' NEST"
A Memorial Day Renaissance
by a Congressman,

~ 10y first baptism of blood was
VE at Fort Donelson, on the
Cumberland river near
Nashville. Tenn, and a ter.
rife fight it was" said Representative
Sanford kirkpatrick Of Iowa, who has
seen thirty years Of remarkable service
In the internal revenue service since
the war.
"The weather was bitterly cold for
that part Of the country and, following
as 1t did the battles at Fort Henry, the
wounded of our army suffered terribly.
AL Of our troops were in sore need of
tents and even blankets.
"The fort was right on the banks Of
the Cumberland and consisted of strong
outer works, with almost impregnable
inner works in the shape Of a square.
About 4 o'clock Of the first day Of the
fight I was standing near the colonel
Of our regiment, the Second Iowa in
fautry, who was Colonel J. NJ. Tuttle.
General Smith, whom we all knew by
sight, came riding up and addressed
himself to Colonel Tuttle in the hear
ing Of all the men.
"'Do you believe God ever made men
brave enough to take the fort on yon-
der hillT asked General Smith, point
ing to the grim fort on the river bank.
"'Yes,' replied Colonel Tuttle lacon-
ically, and he promptly ordered the
charge
"There was a heavy abatis Of felled
trees between our position and the fort
which lay in such position that when
we charged the Confederates could not
reach us until we were within about
a thousand yards of them. There were
576 men in our regiment when they
moved forward, and at the first volley,
after we got within the fatal thou
sand yard limit, nearly half Of the men
fell killed or wounded. There were ex-
actly 29G of our regiment killed or
wounded within three minutes after
the action began.
"Those Of Us left rushed up, and so
fierce was the onslaught that that part
Of the field was dubbed by the Confed-
crates the Hornets Nest and our bri-
gade WIS nicknamed the Hornets Nest
brigade which appeuation is still car
ried by the survivors and always allud-
ed to at Memorial day exercises in
