Our Foreinn Book Trade.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean
Imported books are very common In
the American market. as they should
be. A book Of any real value is OF
international interest. The reading
habit is more widely diffused in this
country than IN any other il is
natural that the demand IL creates
should be supplied from every source.
There is a general impression that
our book trade Is an exception to the
position OF our other great manu-
facturers. and that our imports Of
books are Of greater value than our
exports. They were as late ras 1908
according 10 figures given in the
Publishers Weekly. our imports OF
books and other printed matter were
lS8.73168i and our exports were S3.52t.-
62L But in the same period ofis0i
our imports declined to sS,A47125
while our exports rose to $3.S7T0hS
our largest purchases Of foreign books
are made IN Great Britain, from
which we took stS96,942 worth In the
nrst ten months Of 1904. GERMANY
came next. sending us $500. 300. France
was nextwith s242.798. From AL the
rest of Europe we took S35l.SSS. Brit
ish North America, though selling us
only $4,000 worth OF printed matter

Many PsopIe thlnIe that ID last

Many People think that the last two
weeks have been bonanza weather
for the coal dealers, but this is a
great mistake While the consump-
tiou and demnad for coal has been
greater than usual at this time, the
deep snow and banked up condition
OF the streets has added greatly to
the cost OF delivery. The ordinary
two-horse load requires three and
sometimes four horses and the time
taken for delivery OF it is much longer
than usual. The strain on the horses
is severe and the men suffer much
from the severity OF the weather. The
coal. dealers are as anxious as the
rest Of us for better weather and
clear streets.

CHARGED WITH ASSASSINATION.
Union Miners In Kentucky Object of
 Grave Allegations.

Louisville, Ky. December S.-Sensa- tional allegations are contained in a peti- ton for restraining order which was granted this afternoon which was granted against members of the United Mine Workers in Webster and Union counties, asked for by the Kentucky Coal company. The bill was filed in Owensboro and sent to this city in order that United States Judge Evans might take prompt action. Judge Evans granted the order, which shall be effective until the next term of the court in Owensboro in May, 1906.
 The defendants to the action are egh- teen members of the United Mine Work CTS but not all are residents of Ken lucky.
 The complaints allege that the union miners have threatened to blow up the mines and assassinate the operators. They ask that union miners be restrained from importing labor from Illinois or any other state to overpower the present workmen in the mines, or from establishing pickets about the mines, or in any way interfer- ing with the operation of the complaint ants interests.

In spite of the fact that the word dys- pepsia means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook If they begin the Christmas din- ner with little appetite and end 1t with distress or nausea. It may not be fair for any to do that-let us hope so for the sake of the cookl The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is weak stomach, rather than bad cook, and for A weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla.
