DIDN'T RUN OVER NAN
Mean Trick Played on Motorman
Last Night by Some Mischievods
Youngsters.

Clang, clang, b-s-z-z and the street
car came to a halt with a sudden jolt
on Twelfth avenue last night.
Jesse James," the man who turns
on the juice at the front end had APP
piled the brakes and stared through
the front of the car with bulging eyes
and pale but proud countenance.
For, had he not saved a human
life
The rushing car had come to stop
within a few feet of what appeared to
be the body of a man on the rails.
Another moment and the uncon-
scious individual would have been
ground into pieces meath the cruel
wheels of the car, and blood would
have spattered over everything.
The remorse and horror of destroy
ing a human life would have been on
the soul of brave motorman.
THAT fellow must be drunk" said
Jesse James," as he got down from
the car and started to arouse the
sleeping form on the rails.
''Stung." he exclaimed as he tossed
an old suit of clothes, stuffed with
hay, into the ditch, took another chew
of tobacco and started down town.
Some wicked boys had placed q
dummy on the track and the motor
man needed something for his nerves.

CORNERSTONE NOT HERE
Corner Stone for the Presby
terrain Church.

Pastor Adams of the First Presby-
sterian church is disposed to offer a
reward for the determination of the
hoodoo that delays the arrival of the
corner stone for the new church. The
stone has been promised many times
and oft. 1t was first officially announc-
ed that it would be placed in position
last Sunday. Failure to arrive pre-
vented the ceremonies. This even
ing was then fixed as the date, and
still the stone is non est.
Rev. Mr.. Adams announces that no
more dates will be fixed till he gets
his eyes on the stone and knows it
has finally reached the city. Due no.
tice will be given of the event

Signals Fail in Fosay Weather.

Boston Herald. The loss of the first
class battleship Montagu on Lundy is
land In the Bristol channel has started
In the English papers a discussion Of
the well known fact that in foggy
weather sound signals can not be re-
lied upon with any degree Of certain
ty. Wherever complete study has
been made OF fog signals 1t has been
found that atmospheric conditions. the
direction of the wind and the density
OF the fog make great difference In
the distance over which sound will
carry II has been shown that a ves-
sci approaching a fog signal after hear
ing it for while may miss it, all
though gradually growing nearer to
the source Of the sound.

steadily declined, having been below 100
million bushels in each fiscal year un-
til 1906. when the total was lit mil
lions, and i'm the calendar year seems
likely to be but about 100 million
bushels:
This reduction in the exports of corn
since 1897 seems to be due ID dis
position on the part of the producers to
turn this large and valuable crop into
meats before exporting. The corn crop
Of 1901. 1902, 1903 1904, and 1905 aver
aged larger than that of the years 1897
to 1901, when the exports were large
than those of more recent years. The
prices at which 1t might be exported
have been much higher in recent years
than formerly, the average exoort price
per bushel in 1906 being 52.6 c51lts per
bushel, while the average EXPORT price
in 1897 was 81 cents per Dushel; IN
1885,, Sc cents; In 1899. 80 cents: In
1900, Al cents; in 1901, As ceata Thus
the average price per bushel In the five
years of high expectation was nut one
half that of the year 1906, when ex-
ports OF corn We're far below those Of
the years 1S97-19O1 The falling off in
exports of corn can not therefore be
looked upon as a reduction IN foreign
demand, since the increased price which
foreign buyers are now willing to pay
indicates that the popularity OF Amer
lean corn in foreign markets has not
abated.
