A Vegetarian.

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, who is an ad-
mirer Of girls, tells this story of a
maiden named Dorothy, who always
found some good excuse for having
her own way. Dorothy's father came
to her one evening and said:
"See here, Dorothy, | don't like
young Freshmans coming here so
much. Next time he makes you visit
just give him the cold shoulder"
But, papa, he is a vegetarian" an
swered the unabashed Dorothy.-Phil-

SEVERE FROSTS OCCUR IN AL.
MOST EVERY STATE IN THE
NORTHWEST.
GRAIN KILLED IN SOME SECTIONS
COLDER WEATHER is PREDICTED

VERY GRAVE.

Des Moines, Sept. IA rift In the
clouds which have been hanging over
the state for the last three days ap-
peared in the northwestern part or
the state at o'clock a. m, and the
first frost followed. The weather bu-
reau is of the opinion that the clear
ing will spread over the state and the
frost which Is following will fall like
mantle over the corn crop. II 1t is
of freezing nature the crop will suf-
fer an inestimable damage. The tenn
perature at Sioux City was "a above,
at Omaha 1t was 80, and at Des Moines
40. Grain reports declare that a
strip Of country from Fonda to Rock
well City, in the northwest, suffered
from frost, but that the damage was
not as serious as might be imagined
"All Iowa is threatened with frost"
said j. r. Sage, director of the Iowa
weather and crop service. Fully two
weeks of warm weather are needed to
ripen the corn crop. With such
condition staring us In the face, the
situation is very grave"

INSULAR FREE TRADE.
Premier Balfour Issues Pamphlet
Discussing It.

London. Sept. 17.-Premier Balfour
has issued the advance sheets OF
pamphlet on the subject of "lnsular
Free Trade" in which he presents at
length arguments in favor of change
in Great Britain's fiscal policy. In in
PRODUCING the pamphlet, Mr.. Balfour
says his purpose In issuing 1t is that 1t
would be impossible to put all the I'M
portant points of this question within
the limits of single speech and there
fore he says the pamphlet may be a
fitting preliminary to the speech which
he will shortly make. This undoubt-
edly refers to the speech Mr.. Balfour
will make at Sheffield, Oct. /.
Mr. Balfour says he approaches the
subject from the standpoint Of free
trader as far as contemporary circum-
stances will permit.
The arguments presented through
out the pamphlet vary little from those
already enunciated, but the premier
points out that as result of England's s
policy of retaining a fiscal policy made
for free trade country in world OF
free traders, not for free trade coun-
try In a world OF protectionists, the
rate OF her export trade has not In
creased. and in fact has seriously d.
minished.

Explains Excess of Imports.

A valuable explanation Is given OF
the much quoted excess OF imports
over exports, which has SO often been
held to be a sign of British trade de
cline. The blue book says that, while
the excess yearly averages about $60O,-
100000, the income received from for
eign investments, calculated at $312,-
500 00O, added to the earnings Of the
British merchant fleet engaged In for
eign trade, calculated at $450,000,0 ,000,
lis probably more than sufficient to
account for the average excess of i'm
ports.
Americans have made large invest
ments in the United Kingdom Of recent
years, and American repurchases OF
railroad and other securities are ad
mitted to have to some extent affected
the fiscal figures. but they are not
likely to form a serious factor.
Much attention Is devoted to the
tin plate industry and the effect Of the
Dingley and Mckinley tariffs. The
figures show that the total exports OF
tin from the United Kingdom has de-
clined only a little over $5,00O.000
since 1897, with marked increase IN
the quantity produced and In the value
of a number of mills since 1898.
The Pail Mall Gazette says II un-
derstands the cabinet has concluded
the consideration of it's fiscal position
and it's policy in regard thereto; that
no further cabinet meetings will be
held for the present. probably not un-
til late In the autumn. and that In the
meanwhile Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain will proceed with his exposi-
tory programme The paper adds
1T will probably be found that he
has modified his proposals so as to
bring them in harmony with Mr.. Bal
four's views as set forth in the pamph-
let. The main feature of Mr. Cham
berain's notifications will be the dis
appearance of all suggestions in the

BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE Is.
SUES a LARGE BLUE BOOK
ON THAT SUBJECT.
DOCUMENT DRAWS NO DEDUCTIONS
SHOWS THAT Ex-
PORTS HAVE DECLINED AND
IMPORTS INCREASED.

London, Sept 17-On the heels OF
Premier Balfour's academic exposl-
ton of his personal views of the fiscal
problem, contained in the pamphlet
on "Insular Free Trade" advance
sheets of which were issued Tuesday
came the Compromised and much de-
manded government statistics deal
Ing with that subject. They were
issued by the board of trade IN the
shape of a blue book of nearly >
pages of bewildering tables of figures
showing the various aspects of Brit
ish and foreign trade and the indus
trial conditions No deductions were
drawn, though the publication teens
with interesting notes upon what are
regarded as points of fact The ref
erences to foreign trade were chiefly
confined TO France, Germany and the
United States.
One of the most important phases
dealt with In the blue book are i'm
ports and exports. The tables show
that exports from the United Kingdom
to the United States declined from
$145 600 in 1890 to 97,500,00O IN
1902. while the imports rose from
$4S5 900 900 to $685., 100000 The total
exports to ell foreign countries de-
clined III the same period $90.000,00o,
though when the colonies are included
the decline only amounts to $5,000,000.
The proportion of the United King
dom exports as between protected and
unprotected countries in the markets
OF the world has been reversed since
1850 Then it was So per cent to the
protected countries and 4 per cent to
the others In 1902 the proportion
was AZ per cent to the protected
countries and 5S per cent to the 9th

Ehe Storm In This County.

The storm In tLis county last
Monday night was more disaS-
trous than we had learned at the
time of going TO press Tussday
evening. In the Fork Hill sec
too it was very severe, not only
destroying timber and fences but
unroofipg number of barns and
one dwelling. The cribs of Messrs
Henry B!ackmon and Minor Ellis
were both blown down and the
dwelling of the latter was moved
from its foundation and unroofed,
and he Is confident he saved bis
lite by running into the yard anG
ciinging TO tree. The barns OF
j. +. Blackmon, Jr., and Henry
BlackmOn were both unroofed and
scarcely u tree was left standing
on wooded land of Mes rs. J. y.
Sims and Jas. Il. Blackmon. A
party counted over 200 large pine
trees the finest timber IN the
Fork Hill section blown down
in a small area. And SO far as
injury to timber and fences is
concerned the same was the case
in other sections OF the county.
The new barn of Mr. II. N.
Sowcil IN town was lcveled with
the ground, and tho large new
cow barn on the Gregory Fcrgu-
soo stock, and dairy farm was
moved from It's foundation about
Il foot and cgecled at Que end. Mr..
Il. M, Jones stables and barn In
the Jones X Roads section were
also wrecked He saw the stable
giving way and got his stock out
before the crash came.
