The BIG WHEAT CROP

ARRESTED ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Daniel J. Smith Steals Coat From
Electric Power House.

Daniel ]. Smith, who claims to hail
from Chicago, yesterday afternoon
stole coat belonging to Superintend-
ant Morris Polling, at the power house
of the Ottumwa Traction and Light
company and was shortly afterward
arrested by Constable George Blount.
Smith had been loafing about the
power house the greater portion of
the afternoon and had been regarded
with more or less suspicion by the
employees. Late in the day as one of
the employees was entering the front
part of the power house he saw Smith
going down the alley and it was evil
dent that he was carrying some bundle
beneath his own coat The attention
of two or three of the workmen was
called to the matter and it was soon
discovered that Superintendent Pol
ing's coat was missing. Polling at
once started out to look for his man.
He met Constable George Biount and
together they continued the search.
Smith was found on East Main street,
near the Main Street Methodist Epis-
copal church, and arrested. He had
the coat with him at the time, but he
had hidden the contents of the peck
cts, bank book and some other
papers, in the barn at the rear OF
Young's bakery at the corner of Main
and Jefferson streets. He at first re-
| fused to tell where he had hidden the
papers, but finally took the officer to
the place. The papers were all found
and returned to their owner. A meal
ticket from one of the restaurants
which had been in the pockets of the
coat was found on Smiths person. He
was taken before Justice j. A. Ballard
and his bond fixed at $500. He was
unable to furnish a bond and was
taken to Jail. He will be arraigned up
on charge of larceny from build
ing which IS penitentiary offense.

tectives believed he knew the where,
abouts of the missing girl. Lieut.. Ro

The fact that the exports of the
United States in the fiscal year just
ended are greater than those in any
preceding year except 1900 lends spe-
cial interest to the statement present
ed by the department of commerce and
labor through its bureau of statistics,
which shows the relative growth of
the export trade of the principal coun-
tries of the world for term of years
and compares that of the United States
with other countries, The table in
question shows the total value of ex-
ports of domestic products from the
principal countries of the world in 1870,
1880, 1890, and the latest available
year.
In the case of the United States the lat
est available year Is the fiscal year ending
June 3d. 1908; in most other cases the
latest available year is the year ending
Dec 81, 1902; in very few cases the
latest available year is 1901; In few ex-
ceptlonal cases the figures presented are
those of not only domestic products, but
include foreign and colonial produce re-
exported, but this Is only the case in a
few of the smaller countries, which do
not show their domestic exports sepa-
rately from the total exports and in these
re-exported form of the total is so small
as to not materially affect the state
ment.
A study of the table of exports from
| the principal exporting countries of the
| world shows some facts of especial inter
est to the people of the United States
One of these important facts is that the
| United States, which occupied fourth
place in the list of exporting countries in
| 1870 now shows a larger total in the final
column which represents the latest avail
able year than does any other country of
the world. The United Kingdom. France,
and Germany showed in 1870 u larger to-
tai of domestic exports thnt did the Uni
ted States the figures being for that year:
United Kingdom, 1911 100000: Germany,
S55o, 900, 600: France, $541 ,OO0, 900, and
| from the United States, s377, 100000. BY
1880 the domestic exports of the United
States exceeded those of France or Ger
many, but were still below those of the
Emitted Kingdom, the figures for that year
being: United Kingdom. S1,0S5.000; Ger
many. $685., 1000; France, $3.50, 900, 900,
and the United States, SS24.O00,00Q. In
1890 the United States occupied similar
relation, the figures for that year being:
| United Kingdom. 81 1900; Germany,
$792 LOCO; France. s724,000,000, and the
United States. $s45, 100000. In 1902, the
latest available year for which the figures
of the United Kingdom. Germany and
France are available. the figures of do
nestle exports stood: United Kingdom,
