EXTENT OF AMERICAN SILK MANUFACTURE. -
A recent statement by the American Silk AS
ISOLATION shows that over eight million
dollars worth of the raw silk is annually i'm
ported into this country and manufactured
here, and that the amount is constantly in
creasipg. 1t is claimed that the manufac-
turers have attained complete success In
fixing in a substantial manner dyes. either OF
subdued or brilliant hues, and that for novel.
ty, chasteness of design, and delicacy of
shade, the American product successfully
rivals goods of the same character from Eu-
rope. The next thing should be movement
in favor of the raising Of this raw material at
home and thus keep that eight million dollars
in our own country every year.

4. The non-axpayers have chiefly one oh,

6. This operation has been going on for
years ali over the country, and 1t Is likely to

ST. LOUIS, December 13-A stupen-
duous land swindle has just been unear.
thed in S ,uihern Missouri 1t appears

sas anil Southeastern Missouri have
been forged for some years past and
that agencies for this work were estab-

gland. It is estimated that deeds to
cover 1900 600 acres of land were
forged and disposed of, the valuation
being S25, ,000, 900 or $50, 600, 900. The
land operated upon is owned by non
residents, and as the records were most
ly destroyed during the civil war, the
ring had every facility to carry out the
enormous swindle, and the deeds have
been sold q | over the United States and
in England. The grand jury Of Shan.
