Bloodhounds Sent For to Assist

STABBED A DEPOT POLICEMAN.
The Wounded Man Cannot Recover
and His Friends Will Mete
Stern Justice.

POCATELLO, IDAHO, April 5.-James
B. Scanlon, a Union Pacific depot police
man, was deliberately stabbed at 2:4O
o'clock this morning by tramp and is
now believed to be dying. During the day
he revived enough to make statement to
DR.. Steely, his physician. There were no
witnesses to the cold-booded affair.
Scanlon said that he had vainly endeav-
ored to quiet the vagrant and finally
started with him to the platform. The
tramp tried to attack Scanion and the off :
Ger struck him on the head with pistol
and ordered him to leave. The fellow
started but vowed vengeance, and in few
moments he returned. Before the police
man was aware of his intentions he sprang
upon Scanlon like wild animal and
plunged large knife straight into his left
side to depth of about five inches. The
tramp then fed. Scanlon staggered to q
waiting room, where medical aid was sum-
moned.
AT daylight posses were organized and
started IN every direction. They included
Indian police, who can follow mans
trail over barren ground. Bloodhounds
have been sent for from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
and there is no doubt that the assailant
will be captured. When caught, speedy
vengeance will be meted.
Tonight the house where Scanlon lies is
surrounded by friends, eagerly waiting for
news of his condition. DR.. G. w. Perkins
of Ogden was brought to the city on a
special train, and performed an operation,
removing the spleen which was nearly
severed by the tramp's knife. Provisions
have been sent to different places for those
who are on the hunt. Several private
rewards have been offered.

They are gentle, but prompt in re-

One little "Pellet" is laxative. Two

They are unlike ordinary pills, because

statement of Secretary Herbert that he
had found England and Europe unus-
ually prosperous while this country re-
manned depressed. 1--WE all know said
the major, why we are in the midst
of depression now, and 1 think we
know why these great nations of the
world. our competitors, are prosperous.
We are doing less of our own work,
and they are doing more of it for u.s.

confidence that Mr.. Bryan puts forth

that the Democrats are students Of
maxims, not markets" Mr.. McKinIey's
idea that we are still in the depression
caused by the plunge of 1893 indicates
certainly that he is not a student of
markets, while his remedy as clearly
shows that he is not student of max
inns. 1t is, however, owing to his pres
ent attitude as a presidential candi-
date, worth while to show that he is
not an observer of the markets from
the only authority that is authentic

ment, showing our trade with these ma
lions that 'are doing our work for u.s.
These facts show that we are not only
doing an increasing amount of our own
work, but we are rapidly increasing the
amount of the work we are doing for
them, and never so rapidly as since
the burden of taxation was either
wholly or partly taken off the raw ma
terial of our manufactures.
Let the figures of our foreign trade
in manufactures tell the story, remem-
pering that in the years covered by
the following table. the increase in the
quantity of manufactures exported is
not indicated by their values, because
in all those years the cost and price
have been falling. For the purpose of
showing the relative growth of our
exports of manufactures, we give the
total exports and the percentage of
manufactures in the total.
