PUBLIC EXAMINER CoMMENDS
THEIR EFFICIENCY.
Mr.. German Makes Governor Jelks
Report Upon Result of His In
vestigation of Their Books
and Accounts.

The officers of Pike County are COM
mended in the report of Examiner of
Public Accounts John T. German which
was filed yesterday in the Office of the
Governor.
The Examiner found them efficient and
honest, but he traced out several clerical
errors. The books were in the main neat
ly and we'll kept. but some mistakes crept
into the accounts of certain officers, but
none of them was large.
Slight errors were found in the books
of o. Worthy. ex-Circuit Clerk. and in
the accounts OF former Sheriff Reeves
and present Sheriff Reeves. The total of
these errors amounted to only 80.
In the books of Circuit Clerk Charles
Cox, the Examiner reported that there
were some errors in the final records. In
one instance Solicitors fees had not been
collected. Removal bills had been col
lected and the money was in the County
treasury and not RENTED as it should
have been.
Circuit Clerk Cox through misinterpre-
tetion of the law, the Examiner said,
was due to remit to the State Sis 81,
which he had promised to remit to the
Auditor.

GENERAL LAND OFFICE.
Report Of Commissioner Ringer
Herman is Made Public.

The annual report of Binger Herman
Commissioner of the General Land Office
shows that the public land disposed OF
by the Government during the last year
aggregated 19, ass, 5S5 acres, an increase OF
3.925, 73S acres over the previous year.
Of the aggregate 1,757, 793 acres were sold
for cash, 17,614,792 acres were embraced
in miscellaneous entries and the remain
der was Indian lands.
On October 1 last there were "a forest
reserves embracing 60.175.765 acres, an
increase of almost 100000 acres since
the last report. During the fiscal year
there were 1868 forest fires discovered
which burned over S7.799 acres. The con-
etantly decreasing area burned over is
said demonstrate the efficiency of Govern
ment forestry forces. The Commissioner
says that the withdrawal and proper po-
Icing of the forest lands of the Govern
ment during the year has shown the fol
lowing results:
1. The work has proved self-supporting
2. It has, in addition, brought in q
revenue to the Government.
3. Needed timber supplies have been
placed within lawful reach of ne public.
1. Timber depredations within the re-
serve limits have practically ceased.
Concerning re-forestation, the report
says:
Assuming that the re-forestation of the
denuded areas in the forest reserves,
where sufficient moisture prevails to
make the termination Of seeds of the ma
tive trees possible, might be expected to
result in good time. if the occurrence of
devastating fires could be reduced to min
imurn and the grazing of stock restrained
within proper limits and reduced to a
safe basis, the forest force has been re-
quired to make extra exertion to prevent
damage by fire and to keep the office
fully informed relative to the effects
of stock grazing and to keep out stock
not licensed to enter the reserves, and
all the evidences point to almost I'M
varying success.

11,3oo,os1 HORSE POWER.
It Took That Amount to Carry on
Our Various Industries in 1900,

The motive power used in the manufac-
turing establishments of the United
States in 1900. according to a census re-
port, aggregated II, 300,0S1 horsepower, as
compared with 5954,655 horsepower in
$780, 3,410S37 horsepower in 1880 and 1885,
142 in 1870 says a Washington special to
The New York Sun. OF the total power
used in manufactures during the census
year, steam engines furnished S,742. 416
horsepower, or IA per cent. of the ag-
gregate; water wheels supplied LIZ, 25S
horsepower, or 1888 per cent; electric
motors 311,O16 horsepower, or 81 per
cent; gas and gasoline engines. $50
horsepower, or 1.3 per cent, and other
forms of mechanical power d,49O horse
power, or five-tenths of per cent Rented
power is used to the extent of 321 05l
horsepower, or rs per cent. of the to-
tai. OF this rented power 1S3. $50 horse
power was electric and 1871, 1863 horsepower
was from other sources of energy.
The statistics in the report relate to
manufacturing operations only and do
not include any portion of the vast
amount of power used yearly for other
purposes. During 1900 over 1900 electric
railway lines were in operation in the
United States, and the total capacity of
their power plants exceeded 100000 horse
tons for the distribution of electric cur
rent for lighting and power purposes. and
the total amount of steam power used to
generate 1t is estimated to be more than
], 500, 600 horsepower. One company alone
in New York city operates several CEN
trail stations aggregating nearly 90, 900
horsepower while the isolated electrical
plants in that city represented over LOO, 900
horse power.
The modern Office building, often
housing a population equal to that of a
small town, is almost wholly a creation
of the last ten years, and the powers re-
quired in these great structures forms
a large item when the number of these
buildings in the United States is taken
into consideration. as about 1000 horse
power is required to operate the light
ing-pant, elevators. pumps, compressors
and ventiIators in a siXteen-story mod
ern building containing 500 offices.
New York heads the list of States in
the use of water power having 1858 45G
horse power derived from this source in
1900, against .795 in 1880, an increase
of 13i,6Gl horsepower, or $40 per cent,
directly traceable to the great expansion
Of the wood-pulp industry in that State.
The most notable phase Of the applica-
| ton Of power to industrial uses has,
however, been in the use of the electric
current for the transmission and suhdi-
vision Of power. No statistics that would
| indicate growth are available for New
York State. but in New York city the
Edison Company reported for 1901 a to-
tai of 50.63i horsepower of motors con-
| nected TO its circuits, showing a motor
| capacity in l9O0-l9Jl more thal thirty
times as great as in 1880. considering
| only the figures of one company. A cor
| responding increase is observable in most
of the other large cities in the Union.

NAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms of Very CONNER
TROUBLED

There is no disease so common in TIL
United States as Catarrh because 1t ap
pears in SO many forms and attacks S;
many different organs.
1t is a common mistake to suppose tina
catarrh is confined to the nose and throat
Any Inflammation of the mucous mem
brane wherever located accompanied BY
abnormal secretions, is catarrh. Catarrf
of stomach or bladder, or intestines Is
nearly as common as nasal catarrh an
much more serious although II Is tru'
that stomach catarrh and catarrh of othe
internal organs is the result of neglecte
nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appearc'
which so far as tested seems to be re
markedly effective in promptly Curinf
catarrh wherever located. The prepare
ton is sold by druggists generally under
the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
in addition to being very palatable and
convenient. possesses extraordinary merit,
in many cases giving immediate relief
from the coughing. hawking and constant
clearing of the throat and head, those
symptoms with which everyone is familiar
who has ever suffered from colds in the
head and throat
Catarrh is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and grows gradually worse from
year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
of Hydrastin. Red Gum and similar anti
scptics and catarrh specifics, from which
it will be seen that no secret is made of
the ingredients and also that no mineral
posons are used, as is the case with many
well known catarrh medicines
For catarrh of the nose throat, bron-
chial tubes. for catarrh of stomach, in
testines or bladder no preparation is SC
safe and gives such rapid and permanent
res ults as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
