At the corner of Liberty and iver streets they knocked him down hd the accused fired a shot at him, riking him in the right leg.

But this complaint las changed to assault to kill, and esterday afternoon late the jury found ,cused guilty. Judge Robinson took to consideration the fact that the an has been in jail since July and

This appears to be time when gas companies while reducing the price of gas per 1000 feet make poorer gas and increase the pressure, so that while we pay less per foot our gas bills are increased and the light is less satis- factory To get the best of this one sided arrangement we are practically compelled to use Gas Mantles, which, while not increasing the consumption of gas, increases to wonderful de- gree it's Illuminating power. Mantles, of course, cost money, but with req sonable care they are exceedingly dur able We personally have had them last for IS months, and how much long CT they would have lasted had they not been broken by accident we cannot say, but we do know of cases where the same mantle has served for 2 years.

Foreign Investments or Large Proportions
From Many Lands.
A German authority estimates the
foreign investments Of Belgium,
country having 100000 inhabitants
and about one-quarter as large an area
as Ohio, at no less than 81 SOC, GOO, 900.
In proportion to the numerical strength
Of the Belgians and their natural re.
sources, these figures make the $6,O0O,-
100000, or thereabout, which repre-.
sents French capital put into invest.
ments outside of France look small,
and they compare well with the larg.
est current estimates Of Great Britain's
investments beyond the narrow limits
of the British Isles.
Authorities differ widely concerning
the amount of British money put into
other countries, some being as low as
$4,000, 600, 900, not counting British pos.
sessions, like India and British colo
MES. To include these favorite fields
for British enterprise might double
the figures given. But it is not many
years since the London Stock Exchange
calculated the probable total Of the
foreign investments of the British peo.
pie at more than $1,000, 100000. 1t
does not seem possible that any great
decrease can have taken place since
1896.
Germany is believed to have half as
much money invested abroad as
France, or twice as much as Belgium,
but German wealth and German enter
prise are alike fast gaining ground.
and these corporations will soon be
radically changed. Russia is the great
debtor nation of Europe, and in that
country billions of dollars of French,
Belgian and German money has found
employment, at greater or less risk,
and with widely varying returns.-Bos.
