woolens for the corresponding period
amounted to thirty-threc millions ana
a half. In other words. we are not yet
importing so many woolens as We were
before the panic under the Mckinley
bill, which tends 20 show that the re-
turn OF prosperity is not complete. as
we know well enough from other
sources.
We have alluded incidentally TO the
reasons assigned by New York mer-
chants for the improvement OF the
export trade. They say that the higher
prices paid by US for many foreign COM
modities. such as hides, have increased
the purchasing power Of other coun-
tries, and thereby enable them to buy
more from US Then, too, the conse-
| uuences of the Barring failure are pass
ing away abroad, as those OF our panic
are doing here. The whole world.
with the exception Of China, japan and
| Cuba. is on the up grade, and it Is
expected that u export trade TINS
year will be very large.
These views show how silly and
baseless is the calamity howl raised
over the increase of imports We are
taking more goods from abroad be-
cause with the passing OF depression
our purchasing power has increased
In like ann the purchasing power
Of most other countries has been aug
mented. and they are taking more OF
our goods than they have heretofore
simply because they have now found
themselves able to pay for more. This
does not mean less sales by domestic
producers, but increased consumption
and more comfort for all classes Prof
its may he less in many cases. but this
disadvantage is Offset by increased
sales.
The moral OF this is that foreign
commerce is a good thing for all, anc
that the prosperity Of one nation u
shared by all the others that TRADE
with 1t. On the other hand, depres
sion in one country extends TO others
or at any rate has a tendency to reduc'
their trade. The long depression II

He refused to do it and stated that he

the most serious part of the matter

HE Is An OLD-TIMER.
Reno County has NJ ule that saw Service in
the Late War.


A few days ago near AbbeyvElle, in
this county, says the Hutchinson News,
an old veteran in the late war passed
away. There was no grand funeral
pageant, mo draping Of flags at half
mast, no eloquent obituary when this
soldier died, but IL was an old wet"
that passed away just the same It
was Jim. the old army mule, who fills
the new made grave. Jim" was the
property of Isaac Deck, the we'll known
farmer Of Westminster township. Mr..
Deck traded for "Oid jim in IS62,a nd
the two marched together after that
Throughout all the war. that is to say,
the mule marched while its master
rode and fought. "Old Jim has arec-
ord in many a we'll fought battle-but
is never recorded as running. Soldiers
wore epaulettes for bravery, but the
mule was adorned with saddle-bags.
Soldiers drank apple jack from the can
teen and reveled in a repast Of pork
and beans, but "Old Jim drank from
the pig trough and was content with a
dinner from a rail fence. Soldiers had
their grievances settled by petition to
Washington, but the mule contented
himself with only an occasional kick.
In 1876 Mr.. Deck brought "Old jim" to
Kansas and since that time the old vet
cram has ben a resident of the Sunfiower
state, up to the time of the visit OF the
messenger Of death. "Old Jim" was
SO years Of age and would have been a
voter had the word male been strick-
en- from 1.-THE constitution in 1892. but 1T
Wasn't and while other long-eared ami
mails stalked about the country and
brayed for free trade and fat. the "old
soldier was blowing the fields for the
redemption of Kansas. "Old Jim" will
never have monument likely, but not
many mules are accorded the burial
which Jim" received or go to their
grave followed by such genuine regret.

Word or Two About a Fatal Danger in

SHE WANTS A DIVORCE.
Mrs. Murray Asks that the Matrimonial
Eonds be severed.


Mrs. Mary F. Murray yesterday fled
her petition in the district court, by her
attorney It. g. Wilson. asking that the
matrimonial yoke which has held her
for nineteen years TO W. E. Murray be
broken The parties 70 the suit are
we'll known in Wichita, having resided
here for the past fifteen years.
The petition alleges that the plaintiff
and defendant were married at Mitch
ell, Ind, December 2S. 1916, and have
lived together as man, and wife until
the 10th day of last February, when q
dispute arose over a mortgage that
the husband wished the wife ID sign.
The petition alleges that the property
belonged TO the wife and she refused to
sign the document and the husband ap-
piled corporal punishment, and at var
ious dates from that time has kept up
the uncomfortable practice. That he
has fallen TO such a degree in the habit
of whipping not only the wife, but the
children as well. The petition praSs
for decree of enforcement and custo-
dy Of the two children, Albert Ralph,
aged Is, and Miss Amelia Ruby, aged
8 years.

"She done gone and done it, She am

sakes,'' were the excited ordinations
OF Love Davy as he met Chief Of Police
Burrows just getting IN his buggy for
the purpose OF going home at II O'Clock
last night
Here Love, stop your foohshness
and tell me what is the matter" said
the officer.
"oh. Lord. Charley. there is no time
to tell the particulations now. Get a
doctor and follow me-"
The chief got the colored man in the
buggy and the two drove with all possi-
bic haste to S42 North Main street,
where on the second floor they found q
colored woman quietly sleeping the ap-
parent sleep OF the innocent. The pulse
was felt and it was found to be very
weak, and Dave was sent for a physi-
clan and in a few minutes returned

morning the physicians would not pro-

Love Davy. the man who gave the
alarm, was questioned by the physi-
clans and the chief, and the following
story was learned:
