 There is no denying that in these days of feverish anxiety for riches, the temptation held up before the man of influence in business are especially strong, and many of them are not eth ically wrong in the beginning, but be- come so ere the unwary has had a chance to stop and consider.

the 1903 model The great advantage of this bullet is that if the soldier be not trained in target practice and will point his gun on a level with the height of his eye the bullet will strike an advancing infantryman somewhere between the head and feet at a dis tance of about 50 yards. For the model of 1903 bullet the point blank range was about 300 yards. Instead of the blunt end formerly used the new bullet is very much the same as the pointed ogival projeetile fired from the sea coast rifle except that 1t is even more pointed.

Locomotives in Brazil.

Consul General George E. Anderson of Rio de Janeiro has a suggestive re- port concerning locomotives in Brazil and the countries from which they were imported. He says: The imports of American locomotives into Brazil in 1906 were more than threefold the val- ue of the imports in 1905, and more than skiold the value of those of 1904, but German manufacturers. who had been all but driven out of the market, have recently secured an order for IT locomotives, in competition with Amer ican machines. The situation is conse- quently one of considerable interest, and needs the careful attention of American locomotive builders. The or der just received by the Germans rep resenJs the new railway enterprises in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and that portion of Brazil, and is not only important in the size of the order it. self, but in that it is the beginning of the enterprise, and the orders placed now are likely to have Q very import ant bearing upon future business, The

MAINE TO CHICAGO,
Old Ed Weston Is Going to Take n
 Long Walk.

Edward Payson Weston, who made 100-inile walk in this city on the old Howard avenue baseball grounds and who is in his sixty-ninth year, Is going to prove that he Is just as good a pedestrian as ever he was, and, inci- dentally, that the openair life which he advocates and leads is the only true conservator of youthful strength.
 Forty years ago, on October 29, 1867. Weston, then In his 18th year, started on his famous 30-day walk from Portland. Me, to Chicago, Now he is going to duplicate this performance, and beat 1t if possible.
 He will start from the. postoffice at Portland, Me-. at 5 p. m., Tuesday, De- tober % next, just 40 years to an hour after his previous successful start. His schedule calls for a finish at the post office, Chicago, at ? p. m, on Thursday, November 2S. As he does not walk during the twenty-four hours of each Sunday, this gives twenty-six days to cover about 1,256 miles, or an average of nearly 50 miles per day.
 His physician, two newspaper men and a servant in an automobile will accompany Weston, who will pass through parts of ten states and nearly 300 cities and towns,
 Not only will be walk, but he will talk, too, delivering lectures on the benefits of pedestrianism and abstemi- ousness in many halls along his route. He is in fine physical condition and is

Polo Ponies Wanted.

Consul General ". H. Michael, writ ing from Calcutta, advises Oregon and Texas to supply that country with stout limbed and well ribbed ponies in shipload lots. as those localities once were able to do."
 He particularizes as follows; "The ponies or small horses should be suffi- ciently active 10 be trained for the polo field and suited to work in single har- ness to a low-hung two-wheeled vehi- cle, in general use throughout India. The small horses or ponies are now principally supplied from Australia. They are known by the name of Wal. CT" and were produced by crossing English thoroughbreds with the small, stout-legged breed of horses found in Australia. Some of the "Waler ponies are very handsome of good temper and possess splendid endurance. They make good polo ponies and now and then smart racers for short distances. Some of this class of ponies are being raised in India, the supply in the mar

shoes in England.

Consul John l.. Griffith makes an in- teresting report of the boot and shoe trade in Liverpool, He says. "On all sides I am told that the sale of Ameri- can shoes on this market is deoreas- ing, and that compared with the busl- ness done in this town few years ago, the demand for American shoes is small. When asked for the reason, am told that when American shoes were first introduced in any quantities into this country, about 1893, de- mand was soon created, as the style and general appearance, as well as the comfort in fit, were much superior to the English-made shoes. At that time the English manufacturers were using rather antiquated machinery and obso- lete methods, and 1t was not until the demand for American shoes greatly in- creased that modern machinery and dmethods were employed, which have resulted in the making of many of the English shoes on what would be re- garded as American lasts and in gen. eral appearance corresponding very closely to the American type of shoe.
 Tt can be easily understood and ex- plained why American shoes when first imported here did not in quality come up to the requirements of the people. Considering that the average wholesale price of a pair of shoes was only 93 cents, it could hardly be expected that the best quality of material would be put into them. In conversation with the manager of one of the firms own Ing factories I gather that the shoes being imported from America at the present time are in every way equal to the English shoes in quality, while as to style and fit they are superior to the English factory-made shoe. It is my opinion that American-made shoes in some instances are. sold as of Eng fish manufacture, perhaps to meet a local prejudice,

Mocking- birds have been seen in this state be. fore, but they nave been very rarey seen and 1t altogether a novelty to Windsor Locks folks to hear them sins, Like so many birds they are victins of insomnia and cannot sleep attec about four o'clock in the morning. At that hour hey begin business in the trees of Collector E. B, Bailey's home there.
 It has not yet been found where they are nesting. But Mir Bailey hears the songs every morning. southerners say 1t Is the genuine thing. There are all sorts of music. The birds ncte will be heard and then the browr thrush's and the robins and then, per haps, the bird will turn to and repre- duce what he has heard the piano play and 50 on, a continuous performance of musical limitations.

Vice-Consul Heintzleman goes on to say; Nearly all the oil imported now is American small shipment of the Sumatra product having made it's first appearance in October, some of which is still lying in godown here, there being no market for it in this region. The demand for the American illumi- nant in Manchuria is on a steady in- crease. as may be noted in the values of the monthly importations from $S,- 900 in September to $2S,34 in Novem- Der, 1906. Japan is encountering some difficulty in selling her cigarettes here; the British-Ameriean Tobacco com pany, actively competing has succeed ed in three months in forcing down the price, and advertising extensively throughout all Manchuria by means of large, attractive posters. Their cigar cites, for which there Is quite de- mand, can be purchased in any of the stores and bazaars here, The local to- bacco monopoly office has informed me that the value of its importations for the months of September, October, and November, 1906, was $6S ,S7s'

CONSULAR AGENTS
 MAKE REP jRTS United States Supply Man churia With Its

OIL AND CIGARETTES.

Washington, June 1.-The consular reports to the department of commerce and labor-bureau of manufactures- have had more than ordinarily inter esting reports during the past few days.
 Yice-Consul F. S. Heintzleman to Dalny reports that it is necessary to remember that his consulship, viewed in the light of foreign commercial in- terests, is practically new. He finds that "the United States is supplying practically all the flour used in Man churia. Large cargoes are discharged daily by the fifteen or more steamers plying regularly between Japanese ports and Dalny, and loaded at once into freight cars to be transported in- to the interior. Whole trains, consist Ing of dozens of freight cars, laden only with flour from the Pacific slope of the United States can be observed here at any time. Recently in one day 1SS000 bags of flour, destined to Ying
 kow were landed in Dalny, as the waterway at the former port was frog en over. During the first ten days in December last 496,640 bags of flour were transported into northern Man 1 churia by train, nearly 1,5OO cars be- 1 ing used for this purpose Thus, when | Newchwang is closed by ice, greatly increased amount of flour Is imported into Dalny, to be transshipped into the
 interior, Tn my opinion no fear need be entertained at present by the Ameri-
 can flour interests that their hold on this market Is being threatened by Japanese or Russian competition, Jap
 an can not at present attempt any >se- rious competition with the United
 States for the control of this great and ever-increasing market, while the
 wheat growing and milling facilities of
 the Russians in eastern Siberia are l inadequate at present to threaten our l Manchurian flour trade"

Bancroft, Mich, July 1S.-There
has been, a good deal Of skepticism
here during the past week as to
whether Representative Charles E..
Ward had really gone to DuQuoin
H., but all such doubts were set at
rest today by the receipt of tele-
gram to the effect that Representa-
tive Ward and the other children of
John B. Ward were at the bedside
Of their father, a well-known and
highly respected resident of Du-
Quoin.
The dispatch stated that the con-
dition of the patient was very seri-
Gus and the attending physician
holds out no hope of his recovery.
The elder Mr.. Ward has not been
informed of the scandal involving
the name of his son and he prob
bably will go to his grave in ignor-
ance of the fact that the reputation
of a favorite member of his family
has been assaulted by the tongue of
| i'll report
Whatever may be thought here
of Ward since the recent develop
ments in the Presley case, there has
been no elimination of the respect
in which Mrs. Ward has always been
held in her home village. Her devo-
tion to her husband in his troubles
has been such as to elict the admir-
alton of even those who cannot find
it in their hearts to say kind word
for the man whom she is so Loyalty
defending.
Before her departure for the west
with her husband a week ago she
would not allow a newspaper in her
home. She went about her social
duties as usual, attending the clubs
of which she is member, and social
functions, and everywhere was re-
ceived with the utmost cordially
Mrs. Ward has a host of friends in
Bancroft who sympathize with heI
in the trouble she is voluntarily
sharing with her husband, but she
! declares that she doesn't want any
! sympathy that isn't extended to Mr.
Ward.

The Ladies Social Union has arrangedi
for piano recital at the Congregation =
al church on Tuesday evening next by
Miss Georgia Hall, beginning at &
o'clock. Wherever Miss Hall has ap-
peared she has won the admiration of
all her audience and has reputation
as one of the finest pianists in the
country.
The Saginaw Evening News of recent
date says The evening program by
Georgia Hall, pianist of unquestioned
power, included Bethoven's Immortal
Sonata Appassionata' with its haunt
ing and vibrating theme, and
tenderly brilliant Chopin sonata. be-
loved Of musicians. The talented per-
former also contributed closing group
from Carreno LiszJ and Schubert-Tau-
seq Throughout her difficult and COM
prehensiye program, the performer
bore the strain without apparent effort,
playing with the ease and confidence
justified by sure technical attainments,
and fully warranting what had been
said in advance of her brilliancy
Throughout her program the pianist
held her audience spellbound in a meas
uve, so thoroughly artistic was her
work, and 80 illustrative of the beauties
of the composers she interpreted with
discriminating intelligence and rare
sympathy A sure touch, full and
satisfying tone, and throughout bril-
liant technique are distinctive charac-
teristics of the pianist, and it was not

audience to unmistable enthusiasm, the
deserved reward of genius"
The Evening Wisconsin says: Miss
Georgia Hall gave the greatest satisfac-
tion in the playing of really wonder
full program. She plays with style.
interesting, noble, commanding, and
very musicianly. Her most remarka-
BILE playing was in the Brahms varia
tions on the theme by Handel, won
derfully difficult composition in which
she showed splendid understanding
an intellectual grasp not often heard in
a woman pianist"

The supervisors were honest in their
action in voting to make the loans,
the parties who loaned the money evil
IDENTITY believed the supervisors had the
power to borrow the money and the
fact alone that it had been the custom
to do this for so many years gave them
ground for their, belief The loans
were repaid from time to time until
the court house Indebtedness was in
Cured. Granting that the loaning was
illegal, the borrowing of money for the
erection of the court house was no
more so than that borrowed for con
tingent expenses. Most of the latter
amount has been repaid. Why not
vote the bonds asked for and clear up
the present Indebtedness? The loans
were made just as all the others for
years had been made and there is no
reason why the debt should not be paid :.
