ROW OVER CHILDREN
To Determine What Church They
Shall Be Reared In.

Spokane. Wash, July 22.-The seven
year-OId daughter and the fve-year-
old son of the late Judge J. c. Brady
have again disappeared frorn Rath-
drum, Idaho Their uncle. Frank Pine,
of keswick, Ia, and their fathers
housekeeper, Miss Campbell have also
disappeared, and it is believed have
abduced the children, who up to Satur-
day were with them. Father Purcell
parish priest of the Rathdrum Catholic
church, acting under authority of the
Will filed in the probate court, made
a form al demand Saturday for the
children Pine said he would first con-
suit his attorney. Later the prosecut-
ing attorney of the county issued a
warrant Of habeas corpus demanding
that Pine appear in court Tuesday to
show by what authority he retained
possession of the children.
The trouble over the children arose
over the fact that they were baptized
as Catholics a week ago at their dying
fathers bedside Judge Brady was a
Catholic His wife, now two years
dead, was a Methodist. Pine. her
brother, objected to the children being
baptized, saying a promise had been
made to their mother that they should
not be made Catholics.

BENNINGTON'S TROUBLE.
Ex-Topeka Lawyer Fined So For
Killing q Cat


A few days ago w H Bennington. .
prominent resident Of Kansas City,
kan, was arrested on complaint of one
of his neighbors on the charge of kill
ing a cat owned by the complaining
witness. says the Kansas City Journal.
When the case was called it was shown
that Bennington used a shotgun on
some cats that were reducing the in
habitants of his chicken roost. Police
Judge Bowling. believing that every
man has a right to protect his feather
ed possessions, announced that he
would dismiss the case. It was at this
5uncture that Mr. Bennington created
additional trouble for himself. He re-
fused to be discharged. insisting that
the merits of the case be more fully
examined, and. upon his own request,
Judge Bowling continued the case on
the docket in order to give Mr.. Ben
tain Witnesses
What Mr.. Bennington hoped to prove
by more witnesses, and why he did not
consent to the judge dismissing the
case against him, is known only by
him. AT any rate the case was again
called Saturday morning, and there
were nearly IS witnesses present to tes-
tify against him. Nearly all of his
witnesses failed to appear, and as the
complaining witness made so much
stronger case than he did at the first
trial. Judge Bowling imposed a fine of
s. against Mr.. Bennington He was
somewhat surprised at the sudden turn
matters took. but is still determined to
prove he was justified in acting as he
did in the determination of the cats in
his neighbOrhood.

GROWTH OF TRADE.
Healthy Increase Shown in Commerce
With Southern Countries.

With Southern Countries.
New York, July 22.-Exports from the
United States to all Am erican coun-
tries and islands south of her boun-
daries show a marked increase in the
fiscal year just ended. and exceed those
of any other year in the history of our
commerce, according to a Washington
special to the Herald.
This is especially interesting in view
of the various efforts being made for
closer business, commercial and trans
portation relations between the United
States and her neighbors at the south
New lines of steamers have recently
been put on between the Pacific coast
of the United States and the western
coast of Mexico, Central and South
America.
Growth of exports from the United
States to Central and South America
has not kept pace in the past with the
growth in other directions. The total
exports to South America in 1900 were
no more than those of 1890. being in
each of those years, in round num bers,
$3S COO, 900. The same statement holds
good with reference to Central Amer
lea, the total exports from the United
States to Central American states be-
ing in 1890 and 1900 in each case, in
round numbers, $4,000. 900.
It is to Mexico and the West Indies
that An erican exports in the decade
1890-1900 show the greatest increase
Exports to the West Indies in 1890 were
$50. 900. 900. and in 1900. $47,000,000- Ex-
ports to Mexico in 1890 were $13. 900 000,
and in 1900 $34 900, 600. The total ex-
ports to Mexico, Central and South
America and the West Indies in 1899
in 1901, $13S, 100000. Thus, the figures
of 1901 are $35, OO0, 900 greater than those
of 1899, while the 1899 figures are only
81, 000, 900 greater than those of 1893

After leaving the cars one had to wind
around devious paths and ravines to find
the center of attraction, good sized

presided
The bar had a frontage Of perhaps 80

four to eight deep all afternoon To one

Kansas it was a novel scene. Even the
broad sword combat, the main attraction
outside the refreshment stand, was not
sufficient to draw everyone from the
stand. And withal the crowd numbering
perhaps three thousand persons was a
peaceful and good natured one.
Everything from the lemonade stand to
the merry-go-round was patronized liber-
ally. An orchestra played during the at
ternoon and those who wished danced on
a platform provided for that purpose near
the refreshment stand
The broadsword combat took place
promptly at 4:30. Baron Ivan de Malchin
rode into the area roped off for the COM

lowed by H. A UteTman at 4:27. DR..
