Latest U.S.GcvJ Repot A DECISION. IT IS EXTENDED. CIVIL SERVICE BROADENED i PURE THE COTTON CROP. The Secretary of the fchreveport Cotton Exchange Keports It Fully 40 Per Cent. l.esn Than Last Year.

Shreveport, Sept. 23. Secretary Hawkins, of the cotton exchange and board of trade said yesterday: "The cotton crop tributary to Shreveport, that is north Louisiana, south Arkansas and east Texas, is fully 40 per cent less than last year's yield. This result is frocx various causes: First, excessive rains during the months of May, June and July; then the long drought that followed the rains; then, again, the plant was atr tacked by boll worms and sharp-shooters, and at the present time the caterpillar is doing considerable damage. The plant is vigorous, but woefully bare of fruit.

The present weather, however, is very favorable for the plant, and some top crops may be made, but it is very late in the season and the chances are that frost will end all hopes for any material increase of present prospects. I believe 40 per cent, decrease a very conservative estimate." A PRIZE FIGHT. Mayor A. L. Sella President of the Couacll A.

CZEHCL POLICY HELD INVIOLATE, A Garnishment Suit Brought Against an Insurance Policy Gets Nothing A RULING FOE POLICY HOLDERS Main Point of Insurance and Banefic iary Orders Sustained by the Decision THE DECISION IMPORTANT. The Case il Be Appea'ed to the Supreme Court by the Insurance Companies Interested Other Late and Interesting Kansas News. Topeka, Kan Sept. 23 Jude Hazen of the district court ttis moiDitg handed down bis dtcision ia the bank of Enter prise vs.

Mrs Mary Uaffaer, in the insurance caee which has attracted such wide interest and discussion, Ills ruling is in favor of the defendnut, Mrs Haff ner, and the plaintiff will now take the case to the supreme court. The pos tion taken by Judge is an important one It concerns every one who ioeures in life insurance com-, panics or fratercal orders. The whole question whether creditors can garnishee an insurance company for beneficiary money payable to the debtor. Judge ilazen holds that creditors cannot do so. In a number of counties of the state actions ready to be commenced have been withheld for this decision.

This case is of vast importance to regular lite companies as well as to beneficiary orders, as it practically sustains the main point upon which insurance companies and beneficiary orders are founded; that ip, protection to the widow and the orphans. It at th9 same time ustains the exemption of legal reserve companies from payment of taxes on their reseryes. The bank of Enterprise originally ear- nished both the A. O. U.

and the Kansas Mutual Life The deceised husband of Mrs. Ilaff ner had carried $2,000 insurance in the A. U. and $5 000 in the other company. The garnishment againBt the A O.

W. was afterwards dismissed as the amount in the Mutual Life of 85,000 was enough to satify the bank's claims if it won the case. REMARKABLE ACCIDENT. A ar of ravel Runs Orer Man's Ankle Without Fracturing the Bones. Topkka, Sept.

23. A patient was brought to the Santa Fe hospital whose case is worthy of passing1 men tion, because in the long category of railroad accidents there are possibly few, if any, like it. The injured man is II. Haggerty, who was employed as switchman at Arkansas Citv. While making a coupling in the Santa Fe yards, he fell, and a car loaded with gravel passed over one of his legs at the ankle.

Though the flesh was terribly lacerated, no boues were broken. The surgeon who attended Mr. Hag- gerty at the hospital said that he had never heard of a case where a loaded ear rolled over the leg of a man when the bones were not shattered to fragments, and it required the testimony of the entire train crew to convince him that Haggerty's ankle had been so treated.
