They bar and bolt their doors at night
and two or three of the inhabitants
have set spring guns on their front

principal Of the Freeport high school,
has called him Dracula, after the
principal character in one of Bran

all Nassau is " Dracula alive or dead. -
Dracula has been wandering near the

Plymouth Rocks. The wild man seized
the rubber dating stamp with which
Mr.. Simpkin was about to imprint an
egg. and with fiendish cry tore across
the railroad track and disappeared in a
clump of blackberry bushes.

Young persons who are accustomed
to visit the kissing bridge at twilight
now shun it, for the unpleasant expert

alarmed the community. They were
leaning against the rail, when the wild
man approached and laid heavy hand
on the youth IS shoulder, and then laugh:

which was on the overhanging bank
of the stream.
Miss Conway, who lives at Oakview
avenue, outside the main portion Of
this village declares that last Monday
afternoon she saw tall man emerge
from the woods. His clothing, which
was torn and threadbare, was black.
His hair was intensely black, and he
also wore a black mustache
His eyes had wild and restless ex-
PRESTON. and she noted also that his
feet, which were incased in patent
leather shoes, seemed small and that
he apparently had little or no toes. The
wild man looked about him in every di-
rection, and, catching sight of an auto
mobile, gave vent to ribald> laughter
and receded into the underbr1sh.
Wild men have been seen from time

within radius Of ten miles, but this
is the first one who goes to roost. Rude
platforms of branches On which he has
been in the habit Of sleeping are in
evidence.
Unless Dracula is freed by the end Of
this week, preparations will be made
for man hunt next Sunday, and the
woods will be filed with determined
sportsmen.

A week awe Mr. Ray saddled a horse

nothing to any member of the family,
but the significance of this was not
apparent at the time.
Soon afterwards, however, it was no.

could make no reply but finally se-

GERMAN TRADE GROWS
$20,o0o,000 IN A YEAR
Exports to the United States Increase
Steadily Favor Rect
procity.
By Publishers Press.

Berlin, July l4.-Offcial figures Just
completed by the American consul
general in Berlin, A. M. Thackara, for
the year ending June 80, 1906, show
that Germany exports to the United
States in the last twelve months were
the greatest on record. The total is
$136, 100000, the increase over the
previous year being about $4,000, 900.
This is the rich and growing trade
which the kaiser is so anxious to nre-
serve and foster thru a commercial
treaty.
The keenest among the American
observers here, while favoring a reel.
procity arrangement, cannot help
thinking that Germany will prefer to
let things remain on the present basis
indefinitely rather than risk SMASHING
the bumper figures to which her
American trade has now attained.

Many Heartburnings Due.

That there will be many heartburn
ings over the selection Of the lucky 500
is almost assured, because several thou
sand teachers from all over Great
Britain have sent in applications for
the tour. A committee which will be
representative and include members Of
the national board Of education as well
as the London County Council associa-
tion will choose the 500 These will be
divided into monthly parties Of 100
each. Each party will represent a diff
ferent section Of Great Britain, and
will also, in the United States. cover
a different field of inspection. :
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia university, and DR..
Maxwell, superintendent Of the Greater
New York school board, are assisting
Mr.. Mosely in the tour. They will ar
range reception committee for the
visiting teachers on arrival, and an
escorting committee which will travel
with them on their tour Of inspection.
On returning to England, each teach
er will write out report, giving his
or her views of what has been OBJ
served of the American system of edu-
cation; with suggestions based thereon
for improving English methods These
reports will be published in volume
form, and will, no doubt, contribute to
English educational efficiency.

ENGINEERS HEROIC DASH.
Young Wabash EmpIoye' Hauls Cars
From Burning Roundhouse at Moul-

Special to Times-Republican.
Mou!ton, Sept. Sin the fire here
which burned down the Wabash
CINE were also destroyed. 1t is thought
that the fire caught from some of the
engines that were in the building. The
Moulton fire company made q rapid
run to the yards but when they ar
rived the building was too far gone
for them to do anything, as it was as
dry as finder, burned rapidly and
made a hot fire, burning the employees
clothing and other valuables along
with a quantity of money that one had
slowed away in his locker. There
were nine feet of water in the water
tower, which connected with hy-
drant in the house, and plenty of hose
there, so that the building could have
easily been saturated with water if the
men could have been on the ground
sooner. The wind was in the south
west and if it had been little
stronger, would have carried the
flames across the track to the coal
chutes and sand bins.
One of the men named Woten made
roaring furnace of burning cars, which
was so hot that it singed his hair and
caught the woodwork of the engine on
fire. and coupled onto a string of cars
that were commencing to burn, hauling
them out into the clear. When, in
making the run back thru the flames
the ties were on fire and the rails
were commencing to warp, the engine
and the cars rocked back and forth,
threatening to leave the track at any
moment, but he stuck to his post and
saved the railroad company several
thousand dollars worth of cars. When
the crowd saw the engine coming down
the track they thought that it was an
old engineer at the throttle that was
risking his life for the road, but when
they went to congratulate him on his
bravery, they found him to be a young
man about 81. He had only been work.
ing for the company a short time.
