The department of Commerce and
Labor has published very interesting
report of the exports of the United
States for twelve months ending Octo-
Der 81. 1t shows that in spite of the
unusually small exports of food products
during the period indicated, the total
value of all kinds exceeds by $50, 900, COO
the exports of any preceding year.
While bread-stuffs fell off 1856, 900, 00C
below the corresponding period of 1909
and $158, 600, 900 below 1901, the ex-
por's of manufactures and of raw cot
ton make up the difference and account
for the great increase. The export of
cotton alone exceeds by $22, 900. 900 the
corresponding period of last year.

Among the incidental matters to
come before the next congress arc the
proposed impeachment of Judge Swayne
of Florida, and the case of Senator
Smoot. While additional evidence is
being taken in both of these cases many
Congressman are of the opinion that
the judge will not be impeached and
that the senator will be allowed to re-
tain his seat. This aside from the fact
that the five more or less Mormon
states went Republican.

PITTSBCRG, Pa, June 25.-After
four years of unremitting effort and

line of the Wabash railroad into Pitts
plished fact. The first train will be
run from this city to st. Louis tomor-
row and will carry distinguished par

The event marks a victory without
& parallel in the history of American
railroads. When the Gould interests
decided to carry one end Of their ID
0G0-mile railroad system into Pitts
burg they faced stupendous obstacles
which could be overcome only by illim-
liable resources. In the first place they
had to meet the opposition of the Penn
sylvania railroad, which instituted
drastic reprisals and even went to the
length of destroying millions of dol
lars worth OF Western Union property
along its lines.
Almost as formidable as the OppO-
stion of the Pennsylvania We're the
engineering difficulties to be overcome
in the construction of the new line.
From Pittsburg to JeWett throughout
its entire length of sixty miles, the
line IS a continuous series of deep cuts

Exclusive of two great cant'leVer

feet in length. The Monongahela

cepting the Firth of Forth bridge, the

Death of an Eccentric Millionaire.

LONDON, June 25.-NeWcastle has
lost one of its most eccentric and
picturesque characters in the person
of George Handyside. a self-made
millionaire. who died there last week
after most romantic career. He be
gan life as cobblers boy at Berwick,
and died in his eightieth year, the
owner of vast tracts of residential and
business property an Tyneside. He
thought nothing of buying a whole
street at once, demolishing the houses
and re-erecting the buildings upon
plans of his own. Every Monday he
would perambulate his acres of tene-
mented property with bell and wheel
barrow collecting the rents. Those
who answered the summons and
brought out the money to him received
discount in the shape of a few cOppers.
II was his proud boast that he had
never employed a bailiff or made use
of the county court in his life. He
never asked for rent at a house in
which the breadWinner was i'll. and in
case of death his first act was to call
and tell the bereaVed that she might
continue to occupy the house rent free
as long as she remained a widow.

Arrest at Seattle.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 25.-Local
secret service men have arrested Mon
of St. Louis, whom they found making
counterfeit money in a shack in the
lower part of the city. Brown is a
teamster and is about % years old. He
carried a card showing that he was a
member in good standing in the Team
sters' Union of Portland. Lines was
formerly an elevator man in the Plan
ters hotel in St. Louis.
They have been operating in Seattle
for about a week. More than $500 in
ten and five dollar gold pieces were
found, y combination of metal weigh
ing almost as heavy as gold was used.
This was then electroplated to give it
the appearance of genuine gold coins.
More than a dozen fine molds We're
captured together with the entire outfit
which the officers say is a fine one.
Lines is said to be the leader. Brown
was roped in by him more to buy the
material. Lines did the actual work
of counterfeiting and showed great
skill
Both men have said that they will
plead guilty when they are arraigned

Free Cattle Ranches.

OMAHA, Neb. June 25.-Any c1ti
zen of the United States who is the
head of a family and does not own
more than 100 acres of land now has
a chance to acquire cattle ranch in
Nebraska for nothing. Under the Kin
kaid bill, which passed the last con-
gress and becomes operative tomorrow
8,S44757 acres, most of which COM
prises as fine grazing land as there is
in the world. will be open to the public
as homesteads.
The lands affected by the Kinkaid
bill have been open for demonstrating
years, but not being suitable for ag
ricultural purposes, and 12O acres not
being large enough on which to raise
cattle. the lands have never been taken
up by homesteaders. However,. a
square mile of this land Will furnish
pasturage and feed for 100 head of
cattle throughout the entire year.
Great tracts of this land have been
fenced by the cattle barOns of Ne
braska, one concern having fenced in
no less than 1000, 900 acres of it. These
large cattle ranches now have TO give
up the government land they have
been using. This is the last large
distribution of land that the govern
ment will ever make.
