From the Carthage Press.
 In talk between reporter and a Carthage druggist the other day the conversation drifted to food in com pressed form and it's future possibili- ties in the way of rations for soldiers, explorers, Alaska gold hunters, etc, and some interesting information was elicited.
 II suppose the time will come that when n man asks a friend to dine with him he will simply hand him capsule containing the compound extract of roast beef, plum pudding and the trim mings, and a glass of ice water to wash it down" the reporter jokingly remarked
 We'll I don't know as to that" said the man of drugs. but you would be surprised if you knew the number of people who take their lunch down town and carry it in their vest pocket too See here" and he showed the reporter a small round tablet the slze Of cough drop, that is what is known as a matted milk lunch tablet. IL contains all the necessary ingredi- ents to make health. bone and muscle, ana man can live on these alone for an indefinite period. Twenty of them constitute a meal for strong healthy man. All you have to do is to let them dissolve in your mouth and swallow They are very palatable. Eighty tab lets. or four square meals big enough for farm hand, cost fifty cents, or twelve and one half cents a meal You see you can readily carry half dol lars worth in your pocket. They are very popular with busy men because they can be eaten at q desk without interfering with the busy mans work !"

cREEDE is DEAD.
Millionaire Mineowner Committed Sui
eide at Los Angeles,

Los Angeles, July Ia. - Nicholas
Creede, the millionaire mineowner, af-
ter whom the town of Creede, Colo.
was named, committed suicide with
morphine this evening, at his home in
this city, because his wife, from whom
he had been separated, insisted upon
renewing their marital relations.
On January 4 last, Creede and his
wife separated and agreed to dissolve at
once, as far as possible, without legal
proceedings. Mrs. Creede accepted
$50, 900 cash and surrendered all fur
ther claims upon her husband, at the
same time voluntarily Withdrawing
from the premises. 1t was understood
after the necessary time had elapsed,
Creede would institute legal proceed
ings and begin suit for absolute divorce.
At that time it appeared that both hus-
band and wife were we'll satisfied that
they were not required to maintain in
innate relations, and while Mrs. Creede
coonsi6ered the amount of cash settled
upon her was insignificant as compared
with her husbands wealth, she left
him and took up her home in Alameda.
About three weeks ago she returned to
Los Angeles and proposed to her hus-
band reconciliation. This was much
to Creede's distaste, and he endeavored
to avoid his wife, but, being unsuccess-
full, he determined to end his life
This evening he took large dose o,
morphine and went into the garden to
die. He was discovered by servant,
and medical aid was summoned, but he
died two hours after.
Mrs. Creede was notified of her hus-
bands death, but declined to discuss
the tragedy. The 2-year-old child of
Edith Walters Walker, adopted by
Creede over year ago, is in the care
Of his friends at Escondido, Mrs. Creede
declaring she would not be bothered
with the child when she separated
from her husband.

THREE WERE DROWNED.

A Scow Goes Over n Dam with Fatal
Results.
Manchester, N. H., July l9.-Five
young men employed in Baldwin's
bobbin shop ventured out on the
swollen Piscaquog river in an old scow
without oars, depending for the guild
ance of the boat upon man with a
board. The rains OF the last two days
had caused food and the river was
raging torrent.
The men were unable to control the
old hulk and in short time it was
swept over the dam, the occupants in
their efforts to prevent this losing the
board they used for padding. When
the boat went over the dam it fell bot
tom upward with the men beneath it.
Three got clear, but only two were
able to reach shore, and. although the
other man was an expert swimmer, he
was drawn under by the strong current.
The drowned were: Frank Simmard,
Joseph Lavoi, George Tirrien.
They were all single. Thomas Tir-
rien and William Lavoie were swept
close inshore, and by hard swimming
got within reach Of those who had
gathered along the bank, and were
dragged out.

New York, July ia Herald dis

Morton, who was yesterday killed in a
runaway accident The scorcher, with

Seattle, Wash, July 10. The Alaska

New York, July l4.-A special from
Washington says:
Recognizing the gravity of Japan's
attitude toward Hawaiian annexation,
the administration has decided to send
the big battle-sbip Oregon to Honolulu
10 relieve the cruiser Philadelphia and
the old corvette Marion, now stationed
there. The orders were issued by the
navy department Monday.
The Marion returns home at once
and ner instructions will go to Homo
lulu by the steamer leaving San Fran
cisco July Ia. The Philadelphia is in
very unserviceabie condition in conse-
puence Of her long anchorage in semi
tropical waters. Tie Philadelphia will
remain at Honolulu, however, until the
Oregon reaches there, and perhaps
longer.
1t has been intended by the navy de-
partment for some time to send the
cruiser Baltimore to Honolulu, but it
will take longer to make repairs than
Wno CApCNeCl Ab AASbs 1ElS
postponement Of her assignment 10 the
islands has served good purpose in al
lowing the navy department to send the
Oregon, one OF the most formidable
ships in the service, without giving
Japan an opportunity of constituting this
action as display Of unfriendliness on
the part of the United States.
In detaching both the Philadelphia
and the Marion, the navy department
will not weaken its naval force at Hon
olulu. The Oregon is more formidable
than both, and cabable of com batting
any vessel in the japanese navy. She
is so far superior to the Japanese crui-
ser Naniwa, now at Honolulu, that COM
parison is out of the question.
How Japan will view the assignment
Of the Oregon to Hawaiian waters re-
mains to be seen, but it is certain that
if other vessels are sent to support the
Naniwa the United States will respond
in vigorous manner that will leave no
doubt as to the determined policy OF
the administration that foreign coun-
tries must keep their hands off Hawaii

A VERY REMARKABLE SHOWING
Exports Of Merchandise Never Reached
20 High Figure rs Daring the
Fiscal Year just Ended.

Fiscal Year just Ended.
Washington. July i9.-The annual
Atatement Of imports and exports Of the
United States, issued by the bureau OF
statistics, makes the remarkable show
ing that never before in the history Of
the country have the exports OF mer-
chandise, which includes practically
all the exports except gold and silver,
reached SO high figure as during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1897, nor
has the excess Of exports over imports
ever been 80 large. The only time
these figures were approached was in
1892, when the United States was max
ing heavy shipments Of grain to Eu-
rope, to feed the people suffering from
deficient harvests. The statement OF
1897, with comparisons, is as follows:
Exports Of domestic merchandise,
81 ,032, 99s, ,770, an increase over 1896
OF about $l70, 900, 900.
Total exports Of domestic and foreign
merchandise, $l,05l, ,s97, ,O91, as COM
pared with $S82. 00e. 93s for 1896.
The total imports OF merchandise
during the fiscal year just civsed
amounted to $764, 1878, 905, Of which
1891 1882, ,605 was free of duty. The
total imports were about $15, 1850, ,00G
less than last year, and the excess OF
exports over imports for the year was
$2S7, ,6l3, 1856.
This is an excess Of about $l85, ,000,-
600 over last year, and an excess OF
about $23, ,00o,0 900 over any previous
year.
The exports Of gold, including ores,
for the fiscal year 1897 amounted to
$40, $50, 780. as compared with $l12,-
400, 447 for 1896.
The imports OF gold amounted to $780,.
0l3,575, an increase Of about $5l, ,5O0,-
900 over 1896.
The exports of silver during 1897
amounted to Sol, ,946,6 1888, and the i'm
ports $40, ,533, 1927.
The excess of gold imports over ex-
ports therefore was $44, ,653, 79e, and
the excess Of silver exports over inn

top of the shaft, they were assaulted
with different kinds of weapons, some
using knives and others slaves. One
of the colored miners secured a revolv-
er and defended his life. Shots were
fired, wounding several strikers. This
infuriated the striking miners, and
they retaliated by an exchange of shots,
at the same time retreating to the
woods. 1t is reported that one miner

not require the knowledge of an expert
to foresee that in an ocean conflict the
United States would make poor show
ing. 1t is morally certain that the Jap
anese ships would ravage the Pacific
coast of the United States, should that
country once become involved in hostil-
tiles with Japan. In that event Spain

WOMEN AT THE ROCK PILE.

Not BE Put to Work.
Kansas City, July 19.-Women
prisoners are not to be put to work on
the rock pile with men in Kansas City,
Kan. The board of police commission
ers, who decided last week that this
should be done, have found public SEN
timent TOO strongly opposed to their
plan. In Difference to the first outburst
OF popular opposition, the police COM
missioners proposed to rescind that part
of the order compelling the women to
wear mems overall's, but this failed to-
tally to stop the flood of protest, and
the order is wholly rescinded.
The agitation here has developed the
fact that the same rule is enforced by
the police of Leavenworth, Kan.
Leavenworth's women prisoners are
made to break rock, and to wear over
alls. They are worked separate from
the men, and break rocks with small
hammers, under shed in the Jail yard.
The Leavenworth officers declare that
their women prisoners, as a rule, do
not oil ject to the work.
