Mr.. and Mrs. George 0. Starr have
friends in Wheeling to whom it will DO
sad news that on last Wednesday while
Forcpaugh's show was exhibitin. at
Las Vegas, N. NJ, Mrs. Starr, "Millic
Hazcl' in tho profession, fell from q high
wire and received injuries which may
cause her death. and will ut any rate
leave her cripple for lilo. Mr.. Starr
has made some twenty trips TO Europe
In the interests OF Mr.. James a. Bailey,
and, unless he was In some manner de-
laycd, he left again Tuesday last for
London, where he was to have gone to
select attractions for the Barnum and
Bailey show for next season.
During the major portion OF tho sca.
son just closing Mr.. Starr Travelled as
the press representative OF the Fore.
paugh show, which, as every one knows,
is the property OF james A. Bailey. For
that reason his wife was employed to
do Z wire act and n great leap for life
with this same organization, her desire
being to be with her husband more
than anything else. Mrs. Starr is q
very peculiar woman, tall, handsome
and accomplished. She is IN cn,tusi-
asst upon the subject OF life-saviny, and
does the great leap for life each night
with the circus in her ordinary street
dress and wraps more for the purpose
OF teaching women how such leaps can
be made from burning buildings into q
llfe-nct below than for any other pur-
pose. She travelled at ono time
through nearly all the large cities
OF America, giving these instruc-
tons gratis, Jumping from gsome
OF the hiSest buildings III eachscity,i into
II life net held by three or four mem
beers selected from the Fire Department.
1t has been Mrs. Stars desire for
several reasons to quit the show bust
Ness entirely and devote the rest OF her
life 10 this sort OF work, her idea being
to interest u number OF charitable
women in each town who would assist
hcr in securing the aid OF the Fire De-
partnent and managers of big hotels,
hospitals and other big institutions in
arranging for the exhibitions. Once
before she was compelled to submit to
a painful surgical operation, and when
last here with the Forepaugh Show, Mr..
Starr said that i: was a question then
whether her life would be prolonged
more than q year or two ut best.

EXPORTS LARGELY INCREASED.

'.hi sshEtNAsi l4ttEsIs-NoI.lts
The value OF exports under the new
tariff during the first eleven months
ending August 81, 1891, was $SiO,5 81, sol,
m increase OF S4O,OS7,3 1923 over tho OK
ports OF like merchandise Tor the ror-
responding eleven months OF Che prior
year while the old tariff was in force.
The increase was nearly two ard q hnli
times greater than the annual average
increase OF exports during tho twenty
years prior to 1891, which was sec, 750,-
425.
During the same II months of 1S9C-0l
the values OF the exports has exceeded
the value OF the imports by S77,3G0, 1916.
The Importance OF the excess OF export
over imports is conspicuous when com
pared with the excess of exports OF the
fiscal year OF 1890, when it was SGS,5lS,-
@15. In 1889 the Imports exceeded tho
exports 81, 1927. In 1888 tho balance
against lib was still larger, the imports
exceeding exports Sos, 022 ,G07.
The increase in value OF our exports is
large and gratifying. Tho value OF our
exports for the II months ending Aug
ust 81, 1891, exceeds the value OF tho
exports for any year in tho history OF
our commerce, excepting the fiscal years
1851 and 1890. The value OF our exports
ior tho 10 months ending August 81,
1871, WAS 5000, 226l,iSS, or in round num-
bcrs, about s. 100000 greater than any
previous fiscal year.
EFFECT or RECIPROCITY.
OF reciprocity, the report says that
sit is opening new markets and increas-
ing tho demand for our products. The
year ending June 80, 1891, showed an
$ 2,l46,717. The treaty with Brazil went
into effect April l last, and it is not to
be expected that the results will be very
marked as yet.
During the month OF August last
alone, compared with August, 1890, tho
increase in values Of export to Brazil
was 500, 00S. Our trade with Brazil will
doubtless continue to largely increase.
The reciprocity treaties with Santo. Do
mingo and with Spain concerning trade
relations with Cuba and Puerto Rico did
not 20 into eflcct-until September l, and
rs yet there are no available statistics to
show the effects Of the treaties upon our
commerce. These will appear later on
and will probably show an increased de-
paud for our products.
During the year ending June so, 1891,
the value Of our imports OF merchandise
was: From Cuba, $6l,7l4,395; Puerto
Rico, S3,l64,llO; Santo Domingo, ST.
Gl0,SG0.
During the same period the value OF
our exports to these s~amccountrics was:
To Cuba, S~la,22+,SSS; Puerto Rico, ST.

BEATING THE La W.

American ingenuity is of course
most useful when engaged in per
fecting labor saving machines, but
it is brilliant everywhere and
never shines with a gayer or more
electric glitter than when employ
ed in defeating the law. One OF
the neatest, and at the same time
the gaudiest, of recent examples
of this employment of this in
genuity comes from Minnesota.
In the lovely village of Sibley, in
that State, the virtuous villagers
determined to indulge themselves
in that compromise between free
whisky and prohibition which is
known as high license.
Accordingly they fixed the license
for selling liquor in this village at
$500 a year. Seven saloons were
opened under this law, and the
thrifty people were felicitating
themselves that taxes mi ght be
lowered and the village run mainly
upon the income from licenses.
The wicked saloon men, however,
got the village council to stand up
to the cleverest racket that was
ever played in American politics.
The council elected every saloon
keeper a policeman at a salary of
$500 year and assigned each of
them to duty in his own saloon.
This was practically reduction of
the license to 5000 a year. We
are compelled to add that the
grand jury of Green Isle does not
appreciate the intricacies of Amer
ican politics and the complexity of
holding Office. They have lndict-
ed the council for violating the
law, and the courts will now have
an opportunity of showing how
far the legal fraternity can rival
in ingenious technicalities this un-
paralleled feat of keeping the law
and breaking it at the same time.

must write and tell you of the success
have had i'll using the Cuticura Remedies.
I had been troubled for nearly five years
with skin disease in the right limb, and all
the doctors in this city could do nothing for
it. I tried everything, until at last
thought should have to have the limb am
putated at the knee. 1t was swelled to
twice its natural size, and 1 could barely
hobble around on crutches. l was in the
house, part of the time bedridden, for three
years, and could not get out. I happened
to look in the newspaper and saw the Cuti-
cura advertisement, and as last resort
tried that. used two bottles of the Re-
solvent and three boxes of the Cuticura. 1
am now able to do all my work, both in
house and out of doors, and my limb is as
natural as could possibly be under any cir
cunistances 1t is most wonderful cure.

welcome to use it to the best advantage

IMPORTING EGGS.

What a spectacle? The Oregon
wheat raiser continues to buy east
ern ham and eggs. Harnessed to
the duty of raising square miles of
wheat, how can he find time to at
tend to such trifling jobs as the
raising Of pork and poultry in
wolves? He works hard to make
both end meet, and he gets enough
out of his square miles to afford his
family bread and butter! He can
not vene take time to notice the
financial prosperity of the man
next door, who doesn't work so
hard, cultivates less ground, but
raises considerable pork and
poultry. Pause a moment, Oh
weary wheat raiser! Wipe from
your brow the sweat that half
blinds you, and compare yourself
with the man of pork and poultry.
He is a live man in a healthy mar
ket, while you are tired man in
a market that is pretty sick.
While you are hardly getting
ahead, and waiting for "raise in
wheat" he is taking in the coin.
What sad spectacle is that of a
man raising square miles of wheat
and realizing no more than bread
and butter for his family! And
yet one can see it in every county
or township where the supply of
ham and eggs comes from the store
instead of the farm. 1t is sad
spectacle to note the wheat raiser
purchasing vegetables at the store
and hauling them home for family
use. His time is too much occu-
pied in raising square miles of
wheat to be bothered with raising
garden truck. Even the butter he
spreads on his bread is bought at
the store, to be paid for when he
disposes of his wheat.-Ex.

The danger attending a sudden
departure from lifelong habit is
signalized in the recent death
while in the bathtub in an Eastern
Oregon town of an immigrant
lately from Missouri. The man,
who had lost his wife and was
without means, had solaced him
self in the dependency incident
upon such condition by chewing
up and swallowing a plug of to-
bacco with relish that showed
that he was not unaccustomed to
such diet. The county had him in
charge, and all would doubtless
have gone we'll with him had he
not rashly determined to try a
bath, with the result above noted.
The incident conveys its own
warning. A man can eat tobacco
with impunity, but he should ap-
proach the bathtub with caution.
There is everything in being ''used
to it. it."-Oregonian.
