COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10.-Mrs. J. b.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was so very bad hat for the last
three years, she has not been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
the time, but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever of
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
ct her wonderful deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
derful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
County.

A RATHER UNUSUAL SCENE.
Justices Hold Court i'm a Murde,
Case i'm n Grove surrounded
by Thousands.

Galena, Mo-, June 1O.-An unusua,
scene was presented here at the pre-.
liminary hearing of Mrs. John Stall
lion, her father, James Crabtree, and
his two sons, Frank and Charles Crab
tree, for the murder of Alice Stallion
the woman's 16-year-old step-daugh'
ter. The hearing was being held in
a grove, the two justices sitting at
table under q tree, and 1000 people
attracted from points for miles
around, forming a circle about the
court and defendants.
Notwithstanding no overt act has
yet been attempted, threats have
been made against the Crabtrees nv
many of the strangers in town, anG
the county officials are taking all tbs
precaution at their command to pro
tect the prisoners. Galena is off tbs
railroad, and the fact that 1000 peo-
pie would car to come miles to at.
tend the hearing is considered signif-
can't.
1t has been decided to exhume the
body of the girl that it may be exam,
med by the doctors to investigate a
theory of the prosecutor that a Grim,
NAL assault was made upon her by
one or both of the Crabtree boys, ard
that they killed her to hide the crime

HEARD In THE LIBRARY.

James Whitcomb Riley says that he
waited 20 years before his manuscript
was accepted.
The private library of Queen Vic
toria numbered 10000 very choice
volumes, some of them novels.
In 1900, the population of Iowa and
Minnesota combined was larger than
the population of the country when
Washington was president in 1857.
Before he became famous as a nov
elist Robert Barr was a schoolteacher
in Canada. In the course of time he
drifted into journalism and founded
the Idler company with Jerome K.
Jerome in 1892.
Henry Savage Lander, artist, lin
guist, explorer and writer, is de-
.scribed as 'short and fragile, yet
wiry and capable of great endurance"
as indeed the story of his Thibetan
travels would prove. He wears no
underclothing and even in the most
bitter weather his suit is thin serge.
Not long ago NJ. Zola refused $780,
900 for three books. In speaking to a
friend regarding this circumstance,
the author said that though prosper
Gus now he had not forgotten the
time, a number of years ago, when
for IS months he starved in Paris,
waiting for public recognition. He
refers to that period as one of utter
misery, without money, work or po-
sition, starving most of the time and
dressed in rags"

PHILIPPINES COMMERCE.
What is Shown by the Statement
of the Division of Insular At
fairs Just Made Public.
TRADE CONSTANTLY ON THE INCREASE.
While Imports Show Healthy Prog
ress, Experts Show u Much Lars-
err Enhanced Volume, For the
Most Part Represented by the
Hemp Output

Washington, June 7.-Impsrtatio?s
of merchandise into the Philippine
islands for the first three quarters III
1900 showed an increase of S65S,321,
or ~ per cent. over the amount for
the same period of 1899, according to
a statement made public by h divi-
sion of insular affairs of the war de-
partment. During the period stated
of 1900, merchandise to the value of
S1,571,972 came into the Philippines
from the United States, while in 1899
the figures were 1913 1861.
Imports Figures.
The toaI value of merchandise i'm
ported from all countries from JAN
uary to October of 1900 was $17,1s7,-
991, as against S14,163,242 during the
same period of the preceding year.
This shows an increase of $1,000, TAG,
or 81 per cent. European and Asiatic
countries combined sent over SIS, 000,-
900 worth of the total importation in
1900. An interesting fact is noted in
the shape of an import trade worth
S3,003 from Africa in 1900, as against
an entire absence of this trade the
preceding year. The above figures
relative to the imports from the
United States represent direct ship
ments only, and do not include mer-
chandise from the United States in
voiced to Hong Kong and thence re-
shipped to Manila.
Comparative Export Figures.
The comparative figures as to ex-
ports to the rest of the world show
an increase double that noted in the
import trade. The merchandise ex-
ported from the Philippines to other
countries in 1900 was valued at S17,-
S 5000; for 1899 it was valued at SILL
9 ,011, thus showing an increase of
$500, 1S9, or 40 per cent. The exports
to the United States, however, showed
a decrease of S726,949 in 1900, as COM
pared with the same period of 1899,
while on the other hand the exporta-
tons to European, Asiatic, African
and South African countries showed
material increases in each case. the
exports to Europe increasing from
$4,437,sS7 in 1895 to 1885, O3 in 1900.
Merchandise to the value of S1,467 was
exported to South American in 1000.
as against no trade of this sort in
1895. The expectation of hemp from
the Philippines during the first three
quarters of 1900 were valued at S1O,-
243, 742, against S6,403, $50 during the
same period of 1899.
