FARM EXPORTS OF 1900.
Agricultural Department Issues Some
Interesting Figures.

Interesting Figures
The foreign market section Of the Agrl-
cultural Department has compiled status
tics showing the distribution of the agrl-
cultural exports of the United States for
the years from 1895 to 1900. The re-
port shows that there were dozen coun-
tries in 1900 to each Of which the United
States exported over $10,000,0O0 worth
of domestic farm produce. The United
Kingdom purchased $4OS 100000 and
Germany $134 100000 worth. The agri-
cultural exports to the United Kingdom
were the largest on record excepting
those of the extraordinary year Of 1898,
when a value of $439, 100000 was attain
ed. In trade with Germany the exports
for 1900 were decidedly in excess Of any
previously reported, and show an III
crease of nearly 100 per cent in the five
years period.
Next in order to the above named
countries in 1900 were the following:
The Netherlands, $50 100000, these fig
ures being exceeded only in 1899 by less
than $1,000,0OO; France, $45,O 100000;
Belgium, $33, 100000, as against $751;
100000 in 1896 to France and $lS,OOO,-
900 to Belgium during the same year;
Italy, $24,000000; Canada, $21, 100000;
japan, over ST., 000,000 Denmark, near
ly $15,OOO,OOO; Cuba, $14, 100000, as
against $4,O00,O00 in 1896; Spain, $1O,-
100000, as against trihe less than
$1OOOO,OOO in 1896; British Africa, $1O,-
100000
Exports ranging In value from So
515,0 900 down went to more than dozen
other different countries.
The total exports Of domestic farm
produce to Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii,
and the Philippine Islands in 1900 had
an aggregate value of over $2O,OO0OOO,
as compared with only $6,2OO,OO0 in
1896.
South America was the only contingent
to which United States agricultural ex-
ports for the last five years show a de-
cline-from $11, 236,CO0 in 1896 to So
452, 900 in 1900. The most striking gain
was in our exports to Asia, rising from
SIS, 735 900 in 1896 to nearly $50, 900, 900
in 1900 The principal part of Ameri-
can agricultural exports in 1900 found a
market in Europe, sales to European
countries having an aggregate value of
$739.O00,000.
With the exception of the phenomenal
year 1898, when they reached $762 00O,-
900, these figures are the largest on rec
ord. In 1896 they were $5O3,O0O,CO0
To tn various North American countries
the exports in 1900 were $55,00OOO0 in
1S99$5S, 100000, and in 1896 $44 100000.

The emotional and almost hysterical
state of the popular mind throughout
those sections of the West and South
west that have been suffering from O
total or partial drought of more than
three weeks duration can be better I'M
derstood and appreciated by city resi-
dents, perhaps, if the situation be strip
ped Of all sentimentality and presented
in purely business light.
There are vast areas in the Mississippi
and Missouri valleys in which the main
dependence Of the people in town and
country is corn. Corn means more to
them than cotton to the people of the
South or wheat to the people of the
Northwest. 1t means more to them than
all the other products of their farms put
together, because, in addition to its mar
ket value, corn meets practically every
necessity of man and beast.
1t answers the purpose, on occasion, OF
wheat, oats, barley and rye, and in the
absencSSof these can be substituted for
them. And it can be put to uses for
which the other grains individually or
collectively are unsuited. In the matter
of fodder and feed for live stock alone,
corn is almost an essential in the cattle
and hog raising and fattenng region.
The total wheat crop of the United
States might fail and the other nations
of the earth would and could contribute
toward making the shortage good. When
the price Of wheat flour in this country
advances 1eyond a certain point the
wheat of the world is directed toward
our ports, and if the price remains eX-
cessive the bread eaters of the world
turn to corn flour. They have done it
more than once, and their doing of it has
brought several wheat corners to an in
glorious ending Wheat furnishes a staff
of life for man, but corn furnishes staff
Of life for man and beast.
Although corn will grow in every State
and territory in the Union, the recog-
nized corn belt-that is, the area in which
corn is produced abundantly-is limited.
The great State of Maine raises corn, for
example, but in 1890 it produced only
427, 1923 bushels, as against 242,249,S41
bushels raised in Iowa. Ten of the States
fall short of the 1000 0OO-bushel mark;
thirteen fall short of the ,OOOO0O-bushel
mark. While twenty-seven of them eX-
coed the 100000 -bushel mark, some of
them rising to nearly 1O0,O0O,O00 only
six of them pass the latter figure and
only four produce beyond 200,00O,000
bushels.
The six great corn-producing States OF
the country, with their production in
bushels and the farm values of the same
for 1890 arc rs follows.

Massachusetts, Man Accused of killing
His Own Sister.

The trial Of Robert Stuart Fosburgh,
charged with killing his own sister, May
L. Fosburgh, last August, was begun
at Pittsfeld, Mass, Thursday. The ar
rest of Fosburgh caused a wave of ex-
element all over New England. The
members of the Fosburgh family con-
tended that robbers entered the house
and attacked Robert and his father and
that the young woman was killed by
bullet fred by burglar.
The prosecution is based on the theory
that the shooting was the result of bit
ter family quarrel in which young Fos-
burgh, using his own revolver, shot his
sister, although intending the bullet for
another member of the family. A jury
was secured within thirty minutes from
the time the first name on the panel was
called.

Total value for the six States. .$31s, 1862 426
The same States produced in 1900
1,27S,23S072 bushels of corn, valued at
1891 $40, 0S5.
The total value of all the corn pro-
duced in the United States for 1899 was
$629, 210,110, and for 1900 SOL ,220,034,
so that the six great States Of the corn
belt named above produced in both years
more than all the other States combined.
And it is in these States that the effect
Of the drought has been most severely
felt. It is reported that the Kansas
crop is practically failure, but this is
doubtless an exaggeration. The loss in
Missouri has been put at from 80 to 70
per cent In Illinois it is thought the
crop will show loss Of from % to 40
per cent.
The same estimate has been applied to
the other States in the group. If these
estimates be cut down so that the aver
age loss by reason of the drought will
appear to be % per cent, which is q very
conservative figure, the money loss in the
six States reaches the enormous total Of
$S0,000,000. a good rainfall a week ago
would have saved all this. A good rain
fall now would save fully as great a loss
in the States named.
This saving would not be to great
firms or corporations, but to individual
farmers, whose all is involved in the
outcome Of the drought. Every day Of
the drought means the loss of millions
to these people Every inch of rain that
falls means a saving of millions. 1t will
be seen that, as a matter of dollars and
cents, the farmers of the corn belt have

Here is view of the railroad wreck
on the Wabash system at Cass station,
six miles from Logansport, Ind. The
picture shows the narrow escape of one
of the coaches. While the rescuers were
at work this coach was a constant menace
to their lives. Fifteen were killed and
many injured in the accident, which was
caused by culvert being washed out.
Conductor Brownlee, who had charge
of the wrecked train, tells story of how
his life was saved by taking warning
from the apparition of hand thrust in
front of his face a few minutes before
the accident. Instead of commencing at
the front of the train to collect tickets
he began at the rear as result of the
warning given by the phantom hand.
Brownlee says he expected something
was going to happen.

to the effect that there are 200 miners
in the Kobuk river district, in the kotze-
bue Sound country, hard pressed for
food. Though there is plenty of gold in
the camp, mined from the Kobuk and its
tributaries, according to his story, the
supply of provisions is extremely limit

DAYS before he left the district.
The best strike, according to the Rus
sian. was made on Squirrel creek, 200
miles up the Kobuk. Capt. Coogan Of
the little steamer John Reilly is credited
with the find. During the winter all Of
Coogan's dogs died of starvation and he
had dispatched one of his men to Arctic
City for provisions.

A MICHIGAN MIRACLE
Blood Oozes from Pictured Heart
of Jesus; Thousands Make Their
DeyotiOnS Before 1t.

A miracle is reported from Mariette,
Mich. In church there picture OF
the bleeding heart of Jesus hangs on
the wall. The other day one of the
priests noticed what appeared to him
TO be actual, physical blood oozing from
the pictured heart He called another
priests attention to it. The two de-
cided that it was blood, and that they
were in the presence of Ia miracle. 9th
err priests were invited to see the phe-
nomenon, and they called in physi-
clans. The latter declined to express
an opinion, but offered to make mi
croscopic examination. This proved
inconclusive, and then chemical
ANALYSIS was undertaken. The result
has not yet been announced. Mean
while thousands of persons have gone
to see and make their devotions before
the bleeding heart.

POURED HOT SHOT INTO EN-.
New York Preacher Gets After
Rockefeller and Mckinley.

DR.. Hugh o. Pentecost, who is ore
of the sensational preachers of New
York. utterly rejects the suggestion
that John d. Rockefeller is one of
Gods stewards when he gives of his
wealth to charity, education or the
church, and ridlcules the idea that he
is ''giving" when he employs men.
The preacher also fires a shot at Pres
ident Mckinley, the man of destiny
and the advance agent of prosperity
In a recent sermon Mr.. Pentecost said:
II think the rulers and the rich are as
ignorant as the rest. President Nc
Kinley and John D. Rockefeller are
sincere and Ignorant, and the time will
come when this doctrine of Gods stew

AFTER THE RICH MEN.
Bishop ThompsOn's Remarks at
Jackson, Miss.

In his annual address to the Episco-
pal diocese and council in Jackson,
Miss, Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson,
one of the most eminent churchmen in
the country, delivered highly scath-
ing utterance on the relations between
the rich men of the country and the
church to which they profess to be-
long. He spoke in part, as follows:
1T is ridiculous, pitiful and pathet-
ic to see the way in which we throw
up our hands and praise and glorify
some preposterously rich man for the
few pennies which he drops into some
charity box, expecting the worlds
praise therefor. 1t is just as hard now
as of old for rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven. The rich men of
the church are frantically struggling
to get in with their big bags attached,
while their intellects are SO befogged
that they are dropping some of the
very small bags to cheat the keeper of
the gates. The greatest burden OF
failure AMI shame which the church
carries today is the burden of the rich
men.
''The church once allied herself to
the kings of the world, lost her spirit
ual grip and stepped down and out in
to the care of kaisers and popes in
stead of that of Jesus Christ, She SUI
fered number of curious, interesting
and even diabolical experiences 10
consequence. But these kaisers we're,
at all .eyents, real kaisers, with
crowns, swords and armor, and some of
the popes were tolerably decent. The
American church is in danger of ally
ing herself with those dreary gentle
men dubbed "kings." We now have
the kings of corn, the kings of oil, the
kings of railroads and have crowned
them with galvanized crowns of royal
hood, -

An ESCAPING CONVICT
SHIPPED In A BOX,
PLANT SYSTEM BAGGAGE MASTER HAD
HAIR RAISING EXPERIENCE.
Stood the Box on Its End and the Nan
Cried Out. Did Not Have on
Stitch of Clothing.

The baggage master on rant oys'
tenn train from Punta Gorda to Tampa
Fla had strange piece of baggage a
few mornings ago. For a few mo-
ments the baggage master had an ex-
perience that was hair raising ana
had he known as much as he does no"
it would hav e also added white halrs
to his experience.
The train reached Arcadia and long
box was put in the baggage car check
ed to Jacksonville, bearing Plant Sys-
tenn check No. 54581. For several
hours things went along all right ana
then the man in charge of the car had
occasion to move things around In
his car. Ia doing this he stood the
long box on its end and went about his
business.
When the train was within a few
miles of Fort Meade Ditiful groans at
tracted the attention of the man in the
baggage car and he could not locate
them. At last he decided that they
were underneath the car. The con-
ductor's attention was called to the
matter and the train was stopped and
an examination made. Nothing was
found and the train proceeded.
The groans were heard again and a
close examination was made of the car
and Conductor Lamar said the groans
came from the box. 1t took but mo-
ment to call the porter and order him
10 open the box. v hen the lid of the
box dropped off there stood a man on
his head without a stitch of clothes on.
His clothing was piled along by his
side in the box. At first the astonish-
ed trainmen thought they had a stiff
body, but they were soon made aware
that the body was alive. Then they
thought that they had started out
with ''stiff' and it had come to life,
and their astonishmenJ was still great
err. The man was white and after
few moments came around all right,f for
he had been standing on his head for
some time and could endure it no long
er, when he made his presence known
by the groans. He was made to dress
and the conductor collected his fare.
When the train slowed up at Fort
Meade the man who was in the box
hastily left the train, Later on the
conductor found man 10 the coach
who had the check for the box and he
took this up and placed the man under
arrest. The man then told the con-
ductor that he had been paid 500 to
check the box through to Jackson
vile and that be did not know what
it contained. His name was Albert
Spier.
Later on the man admitted that the
person in the box was Wilbur SILVER,
an escaped convict, who had gone to
Arcadia after leaving the phosphate
camps and then decided to leaVe the
ate by Jacksonville and go through
