filtering capacity" said Plumb Ban
crcft, superintendent of the water
works, discussing the complaints that
are heard from all portions of the
city concerning the quality of water
now furnished
There is nothing the matter with
the system he continued, despite
talk you hear to the contrary. Here
is the situation in nutshell: Our
daily consumption at the present time
is 3,s0O.000 gallons. We have three
filter beds, each with daily capacity
of 1,000,000. One of these beds is out
Of commission practically during the
whole summer while the sand clean
ing process is on, thus making it
necessary to send through the mains
daily 100000 gallons of raw water.
When the plant is increased to meet
the requirements of the city the peO-
pie will have clean, sparkling water
the year round. The water treated
now is treated well, and little of the
impurities that are brought out Of the
river gain entrance to the city

jackson, KY, May PA battalion Of
troops numbering 12O men, with a Cat
ling gun, arrived here this afternoon to
preserve order in the town and about
the court house during the investigation
OF the assassination OF James B. Mar
cum, the last victim of the Hargis-
Cockril feud. The troops arrived on a
special train from Lexington and at
once pitched camp near the center Of
town
Travelling on the special train with
The soldiers were. County Judge James
Hargis and his brother, State Senator
Alex Hargis, the two most prominent
members Of the Hargis family. AnOth-
er passenger was Judge Bach, who is
regarded as the most important of the
witnesses summoned to testify before
the special grand jury as to the assas-
slnatlon Of Mareum. Judge Bach re-
turned from Los Angeles, Cal. to give
evidence. During the course of an in
IerVlew he expressed the belief that no
disorder would occur as long as the
troops remained. Judge Bach said he
did not fear a personal attack, and de-
clared that he would remain at his
home without taking any especial
measures for Self-prOtectiOn.

STEADY GROWTH
IN OUR EXPORTS
Competition Does Not Seem TO
Have Any Effect.
IMPORTS ARE ALSO LARGER
NO CAUSE FOR RECENT NOTES
OF ALARM.
Special to The Herald.)

Washington, May 24-The alarms
which have been sounded during the
past two years regarding the trade re-
latiOns between the United States and
certain other countries ind no justi-
ncauon in the figures of our commerce
up 10 this time, as compiled by the
treasury bureau Of statistics. The
three countries which have threatened
from time to time to decrease their
lmpOTtatIons from the United States
are Russia, Austria Hungary and Ger
many Recent investgat show a
steady growth in the exports from the
United States to those three countries,
and indicate that our commerce with
each Of. them is likely to be larger in
the present fiscal year than in any
previous year Of our commercial his
tory This is equally true of both i'm
ports and exports
This fact is especially marked in our
trade relations with Russia in the
present fiscal year According to the
latest figures of the bureau Of Stats
ties (fOr the nine months ending with
March) it is shown that our exports to
Ltussia in that period were nearly
double those Of the corresponding
period in any year of the last decade,
and that our imports from Russia are
also steadily and rapidly increasing,
being double those of 1899 and three
times those Of 1894.
I'm the case of Austria Hungary
there has also been a growth in both
imports and exports. During the nine
months ending with March of the
present fiscal year our imports from
Austria Hungary have been larger
than in any corresponding period of
our commerce with that country. Not
Wlthstanding the fact that our own
nSuTes OF our commerce with Austria
hungary show imports from that cOun-
Try much larger than exports to it, the
ofhcial reports of the Austrian empire
show much larger imports Of products
OF the United States than our own
ugures OF exports to it.
This VIII indicate that considerable
quantities Of merchandise reported to
our custom houses as exports to other
countries ultimately reach Austria
Hungary. The records Of imports OF
Germany show an increase of almost
S4OO0O,OO0 for the nine months ending
with March of the present fiscal year
over the same period of 1894 There is
a corresponding increase In our ex-
ports to that country. Our largest ex-
ports TO Germany are cotton, bread
stufts, provisions and copper.

There IS no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply of
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
