Speculation is frequently INDUCED as to
the amount of money each immigrant
bri 7gs to this country, and the lowest cal
culatiOn places the average at $50 per
capita. This would give about so, ,0O0, COS
for last year alOn9, and near $500, ,00O, ,00G
for the whole. But there ia far more value
in the labor and enterprise which they
bring. The best authority says the main
causes of advance Or decline in immigra-
ton are usually war, famine or financial
depression, The 5Oatp d'etat of 1851
within the three following years sent half
a million persons to the United States,
The FrancO-German war had a similar.
effect. The Irish famines drove mil.
lion Of the people of that Island to this
country. On the other hand, a financial
crisis or 3 war in the United States at
oloe checks immigration, as was seen
after the panics or hard times of 1897. aaT
and 'I3. Tine return of prosperity in 1870
started the tide again, ana last year shows

immigration.
Rochester TUiO0.

What history is that of the United
States in the matter ofimmigration! There
are traditions Of simultaneous migration
of entire nations in the early ages, but
never since the dispersion at Babel has
there been anything of such general and
cosmopolitan nature as that which forms
one of the great phenomena of the age
American immigration. DR.. Seybert saws
the average of immigration from 1890 to
1910 was about 5000 a year. During the
decade lS06-16 immigration was almost
suspended in consequence of war with
England and serious political complica-
tions with France. In 1917 the current
again began to flow freely, but great suf-
tering occurred in ships crowded with i'm
migrants, and the attention of Congress
was drawn to the subject. A remedy was
proposed, and thereafter these hardships
were greatly ameliOrated. The following
table gives the aggregates of immigration
for all United States ports, in round num-
bers, from 1920 to January last:

The Unsuspecting Engineer Rushing ii
Along at a 80 Mile Gait.
CEDAR LAKE. IND, May 1O.-Last
night, shortly after the train bound for
Chicago on the Louisville, New Albany
and Chicago Road had passed this station,
a gas stove in the baggage car exploded,
setting fire to the ear. The wind was
blowing at the rate of 60 miles an hour
and the train was running at the rate of
30 miles. The clothes of a news
boy in the baggage car caught
fire while he was attempting to suppress
the flames and he jumped from
the car. The express messenger also
attempted to eXtinguish the flames
and received serious injuries. The bell
rope burned so that no communication
could be had with the engineer. When
the flames burst from the car the engineer
saw the trouble and stopped the tram. The
car was filled with passengers, baggage
and express and mail matter, all of which
was consumed. There was no means of
eXtinguishing the fire on the train and it
had to be allowed to burn itself out. The
delay was nearly four hours.

SMALLPOX RAVAGES.
A Sick Tramp Infects the People of an
Entire County.

Sick Tramp Infects the People of AN
Entire County.
A special dispatch from Wheeling. w
Va, says: ''Intelligence has been re
ceived here by the State Board of Health
of terrible smallpox plague raging in
Mercer county, in the extreme southern
portion of the State. The disease Origi-
mated about two weeks ago from a tramp
who was taken sick while on his way
through the county, and who stopped at
the house of a farmer named Blankinship.
In day or two Blankinship was taken
sick with an eruptive disease and the
doctor called in and pronounced the
malady chicken-poX. The patient died,
and the funeral was attended by about
two hundred people from all parts of the
county, as BIankinship was very popular.
and, as a consequence the dis
ease was distributed throughout the
surrounding country. The physician was
taken sick himself in day or two with
the same disorder, and after visiting
patients for several days called in a
brother physician, who for the first time
made known the character of the scOurge.
The disease spread with alarming rapid
ity, and up to this time about forty cases
have occurred, with fifteen deaths. The
situation is daily becoming worse, not
withstanding that the utmost efforts are
put forth to stay its progress, The great
est alarm prevails, and the county has
been put under strict quarantine by the
State Board of Health. A county Yigi-
lance committee has been formed and,
with a special vote of money bV the
County Court, are experimenting the i'm
pOrtation of nurses, making vaccination
compulsory, and doing everything pos
sible to prevent a further spread of the
disease. So far they have met with in
different success.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 1O.-A private
dispatch received last night says that the
IawIess element in Dodge City, Kansas,
became so obnoxious that the authorities
determined to drive them out. Twenty
policemen were sworn in about ten days
ago, and have since been working to rid
the town of gamblers and prostitutes. A
number of these persons were put on a
train and cautioned against coming back.
The rOughs appear to be in the
minority, and those who yet remain have
become less riOtOus. There has been no
blOOdshed, and the only coercion prac-
tices was the placing of the roughs on the
train. The dispatch says that there is no
danger to life or property, and that the
whole affair amounted to nothing more
than determination on the part of the
law abiding citizens to establish order.
The guards stationed at the depot were
there only for the purpose OF preventing
the return of the gamblers. The COW BOYS
