Beaverton Notes.

BREWERToN, July, 27.-It becomes
our sad duty to chronicle the death Of
Mr.. Lewis S. Martin, who died the
10Th of July. Thus passes away q
noble Christian man, one who was
noted for his quiet, sweet disposition.
To know him was to love him. Per-
haps, no man had fewer enemies and
more friends than he. He was u con.
sistent member of the NJ. e. Church at
New Zion. For 60 years lie served his
Lord and Master most faithfully. He
lived 10 the good old age Of 50 years.
He leaves a host of relatives and frieds
to mourn his loss.
AT this writing we have no sickness
in this, our immediate neighborhcod.
The farmers are rounding up their
farm work. Crops are looking we'll
especially corn. Cotton is improving
fast and bids fair to be n good crop.
A colored man, Perry Boland, who
lived on Mrs. Matte Owing's Place
was accidently killed yesterday, the
"22nd, in cleaning out a we'll. Perry
was we'll thought of.

lists no ITst until he had them in limbo,
and on the other hand Il new center"
appeared and solemn oaths were taken
to run Irazer to his death before car
rying out any other work. He was
warned by anonymous letters of what
was being done and what was ~incvita-
bic unless he drew Off, but each new
development only made him the moro
determined. lie felt now that ii was Il
losing game on his side, but he would
continue to play it to the end.
In four months Frazer shifted his
lodgings seven times. During the same
time he shot and wounded two men
who had sought to corner him, md he
arrested eight or ten suspicious char
actcrs. \ man who had entered his
lodgings ut midnight was almost killed
by n blow from Il club, and another,
who vas surprised in the act of throw
ing Il bomb through the window, was
flung into the gutter and had his leg
broken. AT his last Shift of lodgings
Frazer moved clear across London and
assumed he disguise OF Il tramp. Flo
Il week he heard nothing from his foes,
but ii they had dropped him he had
not done with them. He had Subordi-
mates who were picking III threads for
him as he rested. One afternoon, as
he sat in Il small park after having So
licited aims in his disguise, Il middle
| agNl man of he dress INC bearing of
n Clergyman turned iii from the street
and sat down beside him. At first the
detective rose UP in an excited way, as
if to flee; then he sat down and seemed
perfectly helpless. His face grew pale,
his eyes dilatcd, and, though he made
an effort TO speak, his words stuck In
his throat.
All this was witnessed by two other
strollcrs IN the vicinity. \ nuracgirl
who was Wheeling Il child UP and
down Che walk said that his lips were
blue and his chin Quivering. She heard
the supposed Clergyman address him
several times, but there was no III,
swcr. The sun was shining, the pCo-
pie about him were laughing, and it
was II summers day, but the disguised
detective shook and s%huddercd. 1t
could only be said aftcrward that the
chill of death was upon him and that
his nervous system had been suddenly
upset by the unexpected appearance of
one of his foes.
BY and by the clergyman went away
and left Frazer sitting there bolt up
right, his hands claspcd and his eyes
staring into vacancy. 1t was ten min.
utCs before Il policeman came along
and had his attention attracted by the
palior OF the mans face. He laid his
hand on the tramp's shoulder and
asked him If he were i'll, and the body
topp!cd over sideways on the bench.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. March e.-The growth in i'm
portations of manufacturers materials
continues to be the striking feature OF the
statistics Of our foreign commerce. The
value of manufacturers materials import
ed in January. 1903. was $i2.sS-tA- as
against ST., 31253 in January, 1902 This
shows an increase over January OF last
year amounting to s5.6lsZ3 a gain of about
IA per cent In single year in the value OF
manufacturers materials imported. Com
pairing the seven months ending with jan
uary. 1908, with the corresponding months
OF the preceding year, gain OF $b,ApoN
or II per cent, Is shown over the figures for
the seven months ending with January
This rapid growth in importations Of
chiefly since 1889 From 1855 to 1888 there
was very little growth In the importation
Of manufacturers materials. the figures for
the seven months ending with January,
1859. being sli7.lsss4.. and those of I'll, The
SNI. 3S ,161. Since 1888. however, the growth
has been rapid. and the total value OF man
ufacturers' materials imported in the seven
months, ending with Jenuary 1888. is IS
per cent greater than the average importa-
t!on OF manufacturers materials during the
period of 1889 and is actually more than
double some of the years during that
period.
Not only has the importation Of manufac-
tOfeFS materials actually increased. put the
share which they form Of the grand total
OF imports has also greatly increased In
1883 manufacturers materials formed less
than s. per cent OF the total imports of the
country, and in the seven months ending
with January, 1893. they formed over IS
per cent. the share which they form of the
total imports being larger for this latest
period than at any earlier time. for a cor
responding period, in the history of our i'm
port trade.
The Increase in the importation Of manu-
facturers materials is shown in nearly
every important class of articles which
combine to form this group. Importations
of hides and skins. for example. have in
creased from 1856. ooo.0 90 pounds in the seven
