Its a Sure Go.

The fine stone block corner OF Chic
ago avenue and 6th-street is an assured
fact. The Hot Springs Improvement
company sold the two lots next to the
corner to Messers Petty, Sham, Sparks
aud Hora upon the condition that
these gentlemen wonld commence and
prosecute the erection il a two story
building so < so feet. The deal being
closed insures the erection OF the build
ing.
Work commenced thereon this morn
ing and already a considerable guam
tity Of ;and and rock IS on the ground.
1t will be pushed, for by the terms Of
the agreement it must DO completed by
June 1891.

To-day the returning board, con-
sisting of county commissioners
McBain and Kiumpner and treas
urer Tobin, completed the ofic-
ial canvas of the Lake county cleo
ton returns, and discovered that
for third member of the house F.
r. Knight, republican, is tied with
b. b. Bowel, independent, each
having Sol votes. The law appears
to be explicit on this point, and in
case of a tie, requires a new elce-
ton. States Attorney Murray SO
advises and the commissioners will
probably order an election at once
This is putting the county to a
good deal of extra expense, but
seems to be the only way out.
Since the political complexion of
the house is SO near a tie this cleo
ction will be Of the utmost import
ance, and the whole state fight for
party supremacy is liable to center
in Lake county.

Correspondence.

When leaving Hot Springs on Mon-
day night for Omaha and other cast
ern points We did not know hat we
were going, to strike that city at the
time Of q grand democratic blowout
but such proved TO be the case. One
of the transparencies in the procession
bore the incription, at is Omaha's
night to howl and we thought as
much. With the hcwling and hooting,
the shouting and shooting, the braying
of trumpets and the beating Of drums,
we thought all Omaha was turnedloose
The Small boy with the tin horn was
in his element, if he was a democratic
small boy, and there was some larger
boys of mature years that did not hesi-
tate to carry and use the sonorous
trumpet. You would scarcely believ
it, but it is an actual fact that the
playing Of the bands so mingled with
the general uproar that at the distance
OF three rods you could scarcely tell
that they were playing. Oh. 1T was a
great night for Omaha and the demo-
Gratis. Delegations from Council Bluffs
Lincoln and other towns were present
to join in the celebration. Gov. elect
Boyd and other notables were present
to view the display. The Paxton hotel
and the World Herald office were bril-
liantly Illuminated as the procession
marched by. Growing all was the
brilliant display Of fireworks, which
was indeed magnificent. Rockets, ram
dies, bombs, stars, a fine display indeed.
A fine set peice--a mammoth broom Of
stars, which bore the inscription, 'Gov.
Boyd" was particularly noticeable.
We had a pleasant ride to the city
The snow fall seemed to be about the
same all through Nebraska that it was
in the Hills. We continue to take in
Omaha this forenoon and leave about
noon for Chicago. L. L. II.

FIGURES FURNISHED.
Statistics Concerning Imports. Exports and
Immigration.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The monthly
statement of the bureau of statistics for
the month of March has been issued by
s. j. Brock, the chief of the bureau. 1t
also gives the balances of exports and
imports for the periods OF three, nine
and twelve months ending with March
81, and furnishes some interesting facts
and figures. Our foreign trade for the
month of March shows a balance in our
favor of SIS, 452, $50, this being the excess
of our exports of merchandise over our
imports. The total export trade for
March was S72, ,607, ,4s1, whereas the last
years March exports we're S69, l2O,094,
and the excess of exports over imports
was 81, ,71S,000. The result of the favor
able business of March shows contin-
ued increase, and the margin in favor OF
the present fiscal year is further en-
larged.
The leading articles of export con-
sisted of ,242 bales of cotton, worth
S21, 1876, ,357; 13, ,26S, ,292 bushels of corn,
worth S5,341,415; 4,S42, 732 bushels of
wheat, worth So, 93S.939; l, Isl, 2S7 barrels
of flour, worth So, $50, 254; other bread
stuffs about 81, 1000, 900; cattle, hog and
dairy products to the amount OF $40, 565,-
563. The balance of the exportsis made
up of various other products manufact
ured and manufactured. 1t will be
seen that about two-thirds of our ex-
ports for the month of March consist OF
cotton, corn wheat and wheat flour, and
other breadstuffs and meat products.
Our exports for three months ending
with March 81 amounted to S218, ,296, 455
and exceeded our imports to the amount
of S24, 1861, Ills. The excess for the cor
responding period of last year was S5,-
623, 324, and the exports for nine months
ending with March 81 were $6S3, 71S, $50,
and the imports were S571, ,S17, ,5S4, Civ
ing us an excess of exports of Sill, ,9O1,-
S66, while the exports for the corre-
spending nine months of last year were
1852, $50, 1868 and the imports were S549,-
322, 900, showing an excess of exports OF
only S33.54S, 3OS.
This shows most favorable result in
a gain of tbs excess of exports over i'm
ports during the last nine months over
the excess of the corresponding period
of last year of S7s, 1853, 063. These are
the results of the three-quarters of the
present fiscal year and indicate very
healthy and most favorable condition of
trade when the balance is in our favor
of nearly S112, 100000.
During the month of March the immi-
grafton to this country has been $3.50,
as compared with 29,sO1 for the month
of March, 1889. During the nine months
the immigration has been 254, ,4O3, as
compared with 255, 7O7 for the CORE
spending period of last year.
