Randolph county recently. Will

and notorious offender against
Uncle Sans revenue laws. He
lives about 35 miles beyond Bev-
erly in a wild and thinly popu-
lated region. When the marshal
approached the home of Hogan
the first living creature that
greeted his sight was a huge
bear, held fast to a tree in the
yard by a chain. Making sure
that the animal was secure the
marshal approached the log
house and tapped on the door, q

Opening the door the officer found
the man he was after, together
with his wife and two children,
still in bed. The officer made
known his errand and Hogan
said there would be no trouble
about it, and soon as he got his
hre.kfast the two men drove
back to Beverly, where he gave
bond for his appearance at the
next term OF the o. S. Court.

return, he met on the streets OF

tent of the awakening of this great
country than the fact that these men,
stimulated by the example Of foreign
erS, are now coming together and unit
ing their capital for the development Of
the resources of their country.
THE industries are so varied that it
is difficult to say what should receive
the attention of foreign investors. Sill
yer mining is profitable. Manufacture
ing establishments of all kinds are in
demand. The raising of tropical pro-
duets is always inviting. Coffee, va
ntlla, sugar cane, oranges, lemons, ba-
nanas, are all profitable. Almost any
thing that man can do best can be en-
gagged in with a reasonable certainty Of
success. The cultivation of rubber is
an important and growing industry.
The great demand for rubber cOnse-
Quent upon recent inventions and the
high price which is likely to continue
for an indefinite period owing to the
constantly increasing demand renders
this a very desirable field of industry.
1t must be borne in mind that every
thing raised in Mexico finds a ready
market in the other countries of the
world.
Now in regard to the causes of this
remarkable awakening. I have no
hesitation in saying that the main rea-
son for the wonderful development of
the country is the fact that it has a
stable currency. The silver dollar
there, while it has been reduced more
than One-half in value in other parts of
labor, and will go just as far in every
way as it ever did. 1t does not re-
quire any very great mathematical
ability to figure out the result. Every
thing bought in Mexico is paid for in
silver. Everything exported from Mex
leo is paid for in gold. If the exports
do not already exceed the imports they
soon will and when this takes place the
gold will begin to flow into the cOun-
try. The national debt is $103, ,OO0 600 in
gold, and it is now being refunded at 4
per cent. The production of gold in
the country, though gold mining is not
carried on to any great extent is about
SS.000,000 per annum,-twice the amount
paid out in interest. The people are all
prosperous because they can all get
something to do. They have come to
appreciate the advantages of the Situ-
alton; they have more money to spend
with no increase in their expenses, and
the profits resulting from the new en-
terprises are being reinvested. With
such a condition of affairs the country
cannot help becoming wealthy.

MAKING HORSE MARKET.
S or etary Wilson Has His Eve on
Europe.

Washington, Dec. 25.-secretary Will
son of the agricultural department is
displaying much interest in the en-
couragement of the expectation of
horses for sale in European markets. He
believes there is no good reason why
the United States should not supply
many of the horses used abroad and is
especially impressed with the belief
that we could breed in this country
particularly in the western states
horses which could be serviceabIe for
cavalry purposes.
The agents of the department in Lon
don and other places have been in
structed to make reports on this sub
ject covering the general questions and
the style of horse, the demand price
etc. This information will be embodied
in one of the bulletins soon to be is

interest to horse breeders who might
be induced to embark in this new field
of competition, will be turned over to

Perhaps the most notable feature has
been the unanimity with which the
trade reports from all parts of the
country with some few exceptions,
point to a very heavy holiday trade, in
nearly all cases comparing favorably
with recent preceding years.
Reports are that stocks of these
goods have been heavily reduced. Par
ticularly prominent in reporting good
retail trade in the west are Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City. At the south,
New Orleans reports retailers reaping
a harvest and December trade larger
than usual Similarly good reports
come from Nashville, Savannah and
Memphis, but collections and business
would be larger were it not for the low
price of cotton. In the northwest cold
er weather has improved the demand
for seasOnable goods, and this, com
bined with the usual holiday business
has resulted in a good trade, with es-
pecialIy good reports from Milwaukee,
St. Paul and Omaha. At the east sea-
sonable conditions prevail, wholesale
trade being quiet and holiday business
active. No improvement is noted in
the cotton goods situation and wage re-
ductiOn seem imminent Good business
has been done in boots and shoes and
shipments are far ahead of last year.
Pacific coast retail trade is active and
KlOndike boomers are gathering in the
cities of Washington and oregon. PROOF
that the unsettled condition of the
wheat situation affects the export bus
mess in that cereal is furnished by the
figures of shipments this week from
both coasts of the United States and
Canada. The total exports reported to
BradStreet'S aggregate (hOur as Wheat)

bushels last week and $3.50, 600 bushels
two weeks ago. They also compare
with exports of 2, Ill 600 bushels in this
week last year; 3,475 600 bushels in 1895,
and 1.S14O 900 bushels in 1894.
Indian corn exports for the week are
4 .S79 OIL bushels. against 4, 129, S7S bush
els last week, 2,46SO00 bushels week
ago, and .S39. 900 in 1895.
Commercial features in the United
States remain about normal The total
for this week amounts to 280, as COM
pared with 2S3 in the previous week, but
is smaller than the total in 1895, when
316 were reported. There are so busi-
ness failures reported in the Dominion

causes for Mexican prosperity is found
in a pamphlet issued by the Mexican
Central, which is owned by Boston
capitalists, setting forth the adVanta-
geS Of the country. Little more than a
year ago, if such sentiments had been
expressed in Boston their author would
have been regarded as lunatic or an
anarchist who should be confined for
the benefit of the community; and yet
this pamphlet was compiled and print
ed in Boston and is being scattered
broadcast over the country to refute
the gold standard arguments used in
the last campaign. This pamphlet says:
While MexicO'S prosperity is unqueS-
tiOnably due to a large number of
causes, prominent among which are the
suppression of disorder. the extension
of railroads, and the liberal policy of
the government toward foreign capi-
taliStS and emigrantS, it is very evil
dent that her Industrial growth has
been powerfully stimulated by the ex-
isting monetary standard. When sill
yer and gold as valued in the wOrlds s
commodities, parted company, and
Mexican dollars (Which were being ex-
ported to EurOpe) were sold for less
price as measured in the currency of
the gold standard countries, a rise in
the price of all imported articles began
in Mexico. From this time dates the
development of Mexico'S cotton and
woolen industries, as we'll as the in
crease in the expectation of articles
other than precious metals. The de-
mand and the margin of profit for
homemade goods increased as Mexi-
can dollars deprecated. The native
manufacturer enlarged his operations,
introduced improved machinery and
began to compete successfully with
many grades of imported goods The
consumer now purchases from the
Mexican manufacturer at the same
price in silver as when silver was at
par with gold. Instead of being ex-
ported to Europe, as formerly. many
millions of dollars have thus been kept
at home and added to the capital of the
country.
While it is true that the Mexican
dollar, as measured in francs. marks or
pounds sterling, has decreased in value
nearly so per cent, it is also true that
prices of almost every class of foreign
goods have decreased so per cent y
suit of clothes made from the finest
quality of imported goods costs only
the same number of Mexican silver
dollars that it cost % years ago.
The foreign investor doubles his
capital when he brings it to Mexico H
gets the advantage of cheap and dociIe
labor for silver and sells his exported
product for gold. The native producer
has prospered under silver at the ex-
pense of the foreign merchant and i'm
porter Silver in Mexico has stimula-
ted exports and contracted imports
These admissions by American cap
italists, form a startling commentary
upon the comparative conditions of the
two countries"

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time Of the year a cold is

The board also recommends that the
commissioners be empowered by law to

railroads; to fix a maximum schedule
of rates for the transportation of the
