imports. chiefly due to our large TAX
ings Of raw and northumberland ma
fe1ials which our own mills and mines
are unable TO meet These large i'm
ports are a distinct result Of high prices
and trade activity on this side of the
Atlantic: and they promise to continue
until values recede and our own ca
paeity becomes able to satisfy our own
needs. Our exports during the same
month were s15.0o0o00 ahead of the
same time last year; the increase here
being chiefly due to heavy shipments Of
cotton and corn. This result is exceed
ingly satisfactory. inasmuch as these
articles furnish a good supply of ex-
change when the latter is most wanted,
thus materially strengthening our fnan-
ciai status abroad"
Commenting on local conditions the

Railroad earnings continue large and
the iron trade boom shows no signs of
cessation. The phenomenal demand for
iron is one of the wonders of the age,
and it is to be attributed to its intro
duction into many new fields of useful
ness, as well as the enormous consump-
ton for structural purposes in build
ings, railroads. etc. The demand on the
latter account is sure to continue for
some time to come. and both Germany
and England are being urgently called
upon to satisfy our requirements, not
withstanding the tariff"

While a dozen men stood on the front
portico of the court house and hoWled
with joy Sheriff Lucas disgraeed the role
of toreador on the amphitheater of the
court house lawn. The goat wanted
protection from the pack of dogs and 1t
headed for Lucas at a terrifying gait.
Every effort Of the sheriff to gain the
safety of the steps was headed off by
a charge from the goat in its endeavor
to gain the protection of his burly form.
The goat was in reality peaceable but
its demOnstrat tons were unQuestionably
hostile. and the sheriff couldn't be
blamed for "sidestepping" whenever it
came his way. Finally the goat turned
it's attention to a new conner and per
mitted the sheriff to escape to the safe
ty of his office.
The Lindsay goat is a more or less
familiar figure to the people on West
Fifth street for it has been out before.

size sounded the onslaught from

eraI rally Of West Fifth street dogs and
in five minutes the goat was the cen
ter of a yelping pack
Seeing a man ascend the court house
steps the goat made for him and enter
ed the door a almost the identical time
with him without hesitation it trotted
into the sheriff's office and greeted the
OCCUPANTS. Lucas Immediately arose to
eject the invader and was leading it by
the horns toward the door when one of
the dogs entered. The goat reared back
ran across the hall and came back at
the sheriff who was standing by the
front entrance. Lucas fed precipitately
but not in time to close the door be-
tween himself and the panic stricken ami
nal. Like a proud leader the sheriff
sped across the lawn and the goat
fastened upon his trail like a domesti-
Gated cannon ball At the edge of the
lawn, which is surrounded by a three
foot retaining wall. Lucas swerved
while the goat projected itself down
onto the sidewalk.
The circling dogs turned him back
and with leap he regained the lawn
across which the sheriff was making
tracks for the court house door. After
him the goat went and again Lucas
turned. Round and round went the
pair. the goat shortening on his ira cks

FRITZ DUREII'S MISTAKE
Fritz Durein called at the Office Of the
election commissioner yesterday to reg
ister. While there he made the remark:
I have paid $50 a month fine to run
my joint ever since the present system
of fines went into effect
Did you pay your $50 last month";
he was asked.
Yes, sir. 1 haven't missed month, -
replied Fritz
WHO got your money last month";
We'll, it went to the police station, -
was the reply.
Last month the police department re-
ported not a single fine collected from
joint keepers It was charged that the
money was used for campaign expenses.
When Joseph Griley, chairman of the
police committee, was told of Fritz
Dureins statement, he said:
You can't depend upon anything
said in that way. III guarantee that If
the money went into the hands of the
police, it was handed over to the city
treasurer. If il was not. I would like
about it, or ask him if he meant what
he said, he would most likely say, oh,
dat vas a choake.'
Durein is one of the men who when
asked to give his occupation to the reg
istration officer replied promptly,
"JointkeeDer."

The custom of publishing resolutions
of respect, memorial poems and lengthy

while beautiful in its purpose, is lat

its uses. This is particularly the case
when the aforesaid friends or kinsmeu
labor under the delusion that such
things should be published by a news
