TRADE UNDISTURBED
No Difference With Germany
 on Thai Score.
This Country is Sending fO Germany Larger Percentage of Her Ex- pOrfS Than Ever Before and is Taking Larger Purchases.

Washington. Feb 22.-(Speoial)- J. A good deal of unnecessary anxiety seems to be exhibited both in Germany and in the United States about the trade relations between the two cOun tries. Some figures just prepared by
 the treasury bureau of statistics show
 that the supposition that American trade iii Germany or German trade in America is being disturbed or de- pressed by existing conditions seems to be unfounded Certainly the United States is giving to Germany larger percentage Of her import trade than ever before and is selling to Germany a larger percentage of her exports than ever before
 American exports to Germany in creased over Il per cent in the past six months compared with the correspond ing six months of the preceding year, which of themselves were phenome- nally large, and the imports from Ger many into the United States in the past six months were nearly 25 per cent greater than those of the correspond ing six months of last year. The share of our import trade given to Germany has steadily increased during the pasl decade, as has also the share which she takes of our exports. A decade ago 10 per cent of our imports was taken from Germany, while now 13 per cent comes from that country; a decade ago s per cent Of our exports went to Ger many, now over 13 per cent goes to that country and in lJhe last half of the calendar year 1897 our exports to Ger many were $32, ,632, ,122 and in the last half of the calendar year 1898 were $40615,770, an increase of nearly 9 per cent. Our experts to Germany in the last half of 1898 were $85. .903, ,120.
 Even in meats and provisions the ex- ports to Germany in 1898 Show marked gain in nearly all classes. In salted or picklad beef the exportations increased more than 25 per cent in 1898 over 1897. Exports of bacon increased 9 per cent, or nearly 1O,OO0,OO5 pounds; those rof ham increased from less than 5,OOO,O pounds to nearly 12,- 100000 pounds; those of pork, fresh and salted from less than 5000, 900 pounds to nearly 100000 pounds; those of lard, from 2O5 million pounds to 23S million pounds, while tn fruits and nuts the exports of 1898 were near ly 50 per cent in excess of those of 1896, l and but slightly below those Qf 1897.
 The following table shows the ex- ports from the United States to Ger many in the calendar year 1898, com pared with the calendar year 1896, the comparison being made with 1896, the last full calendar year prior to the en- of the present tariff law:

horse run over by a freight train COM

horse broke loose from the barn and
ran out to the village of Bristol, near
which was his former home. He went
over the cattle guards on the west side
of the crossing when the train came
along, chasing him down the track be-
tween two banks. He ran down the
track as far as the bridge when the
train struck him, and he died shortly
after. The railroad company should
have such guards as would keep stock
off the track.

How Old Are You ?

witness stand when an inquisitive lawyer
asks, How old are you 2" The actual
number of years don't count for much in a
healthy, vigorous woman. If she be forty,
she will look younger than weak woman
at IS. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
keeps women looking young by keeping
disease away from those marvelously deli
cate organs which distinguish the female
sex. It cures all the debilitating wastes
and drains, all the aches and pains. 1t
quiets the nerves, and stops those bearing
down sensations. 1t fits the wife for the
task of child-bearing, making the period
of CESSATION one of comfort, shortening
labor and making it almost painless. It
after confinement is quick, and there are
no dangerous after-effects. The babe of
the woman who takes Favorite Prescr1p-

of the mothe- who does not take it. There
is no alcohol or opiate in this medicine. 1t
is a pure, non-alcoholic tonic and nervine.

Eight More Men Arrested for the Shooting
Arrested Miners Discharged.
Carterville, Ills, Sept. 20.-Matters
were very quiet here yesterday on &C.
count of the various mines working
and goodly number of the miners be-
ing at work. The cOroner's jury is
still in session and may be for two or
three days yet. Deputy Sheriff Odum,
Of Marion, arrived in the city last
evening and arrested eight men for
completely in the shooting last Sunday.
The parties arrested were John Wal
lace, Lem Shadowen, Willis Carney,
Wesley Shadowen, J. v. Mulkey, Chas.
Shadowen, viii Kelley and Mat
Walker. They were taken to Marion.
Their arrest caused but little excite
ment, as 1t was looked for.T In fact,
many more arrests are expected before
the week is over.
The real situation, however, does not
improve any. Both sides are just as
determined as they were before the
riot of Sunday. Colonel Brush says
that he will not give in and the union
miners say that he will have to. David
Higgins, district president of the
United Mine Workers, of Murphys-
boro, was here yesterday in consulta-
ton with the miners, and says that
they have plenty of money to fight the
cases and the best legal talent has
been employed and that the cases will
be taken to the court of last resort. A
move has also been started to have the
present receiver Of the Brush mines,
G. II. Bosworth, of Springfield, dis
charged, and have one appointed who
is in sympathy with union labor.
The nineteen union miners under ar
rest at Marion were tried yesterday
before Judge J. w. Samuels and after
five or six witnesses were heard were
discharged, there being no evidence
against them.

first hooted the face Of the chief, and
then somebody yelled to tear it down.
'sWe don't want him in this district, IS
they shouted. 4saaE1@
The crowd nearest the wall where ii
hung caught hold of the frame and
started to pull 1t down. Sheehan, up
stairs, heard the yelling and came
down. Don't do that" he said, eve
are not pulling pictures down now
The face on the wall didn't please the
crowd, however, and it was turned to-
ward the wall. At Mr.. Sheehan's di-
rection it was turned back again lit
tie later, but in a moment it was look,
ing toward the wall again. Mr.
Sheehan received an ovation wherever
he went in the district.
