EUROPE MUST
Give Us GOLD
VAST VOLUME OF AMERICAN
PRODUCTS BUILDING UP
CREDIT BALANCE.
This Means much Cash for this Coun-
try. Gotham Bankers are not
Disturbed. Not Single Failure
Reported.

New York, Oct. 30.-The enormous
influence which American products
are exerting in building up a credit
balance abroad has been the most sig
nal development of the financial sit
uation.
Reports from all quarters show that
the great American staples-wheat,
copper, tobacco, oil and meats-are
on their way to Europe, this being
the season when American products
are marketed abroad. The immedi-
ate effect of these shipments lis to
give the United States credit abroad
which can be speedily converted in
to cash.
These natural resources of the coun-
try promise to exert even greater in
fiuence than the sale of American Sc
curities abroad. The latter have to
some extent suffered discredit under
recent pressure, but the intrinsic val
ue of American staples used abroad
and their colossal aggregate at this
period of the year is beyond the
reach of financial distrust.
The foreign sales of millions Of
dollars worth of American coppers
were supplemented to-day by reports
of similar heavy export shipments,
alone giving foreign credit of
$14, ZOO, 900.
The shipments of tobacco to Europe
this year promise to break allrecords.
Officials of the American Tobacco
company estimated today with the
orders on hand that the years ex-
ports will exceed fifty million pounds
of manufactured tobacco, which is
far in excess of the amount exported
last year. Europe will send over
800, 900, 900 for this tobacco, and
much of this money will soon be
available in this market, as the con-
tracts with the European importers
call for immediate payment on deliv-
cry. Shipments of tobacco to Eu-
rope will be heavier in November
and December, according to the Off
Gals of the American Tobacco COM
pany.
Reports from the South show the
cotton crop moving toward Europe,
while the West is sending grain and
meat products in the same direction.
Comparative calm reigned among
New York bankers yesterday. The
pressure for money is not over but the
chances for unreasonable panic are
very slight.

HE WAS DESPERATE
Because of Lost Love Fred Budinskl
Attempts Murder.

Red Wing, Mimi, Oct. 2S.-During
fit of jealousy Fred Budinski, hiding
in the bushes near the Lagusch home
at Trout Brook, it is alleged, fired
three shots from rifle point blank
at the house and succeeded in killing
the dog; but that was not all. The
friendly relations between him and
the Lagusch family have ceased to
exist. He lost the only girl he ever
loved together with watch, brooch
and ring which he had given her, and
the chances are that he will spend
the next three months in the county
Jail unless some one furnishes 5000
bonds as guaranty that he will keep
the peace.
More than year ago, according to
the evidence, Fred Budiski boarded
at the Lagusch home at Trout Brook.
He took liking to Emma Lagusch,
in fact he fell in love with her, and
as evidence of the fact gave her a
gold watch, brooch and ring.

There is so much Rheumatism every.
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read
ers of large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.

Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture, and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffe ring after while.

NAVY NEEDS MORE MONEY
CABINET CONSIDERS SECRETARY
METcALF'S ESTIMATES.
Increase of $5,oo0,0oo in Standing Ap-
preparation for Payment of En-
listed Men Is Approved.

Washington, Oct 26.-Naval matters
occupied the attention of the cabinet
during considerable part of Fridays
meeting. Secretary Metcalf has just
completed the compilation of the esti-
mates for the maintenance of the
naval establishment, and as these
show a great increase as compared
with the current fiscal year, thereby
promising to cause much debate in
congress at the approaching session,
the president and the secretary of the
navy are giving their most earnest at
tention to them.
The secretary advanced a PROPOSE
ton to increase by $5,O00,000 the
standing appropriation for the pay
ment of enlisted men in the navy. Ac-
cording to his estimate, this increase
would admit of the recruitment Of
about 5000 blue jackets in addition
to the present force. The proposition
was received with favor and will be
included in the estimates to be SUBJ
mitted to congress.
Secretary Metcalf also has before
him the report of the naval general
board, headed by Admiral Dewey,
upon the new construction required to
meet the plans of the board, and this
was touched upon incident to the con-
struction of the width of the canal
locks.
1t is pointed out that by reason of
the fact that he last year expressed
the opinion that one new ship would
be all that should necessarily be au-
thorized at this congress, the presi-
dent has somewhat embarrassed him.
self, but as several of the battleships
which were last year supposed to be
perfectly serviceable have since rather
Unexpectedly been shown to be of OBJ
solete type, it is not apprehended that
the president will have any difficulty
in explaining to congress the neces-
sity for amending the original esti-
mate, for it is now quite certain that
no less than two and probably three
battleships of the first order will be
recommended in the estimates.

EVERYTHING Bad,

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some of his holdings
in southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad,
and it was necessary to finish the
journey in buggy. So he took
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles Of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon farmer blowing corn on the
side of hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, hopping
bis face with red bandana.
Good morning"
"Mornin', mister!"
"You live here, l suppose?"
yep"

''That's bad hill you're plowing."

planter.

of Benton, III.

Benton, ILL.,, Oct. 29.-City Marshal
George Adams Monday shot and killed
John Malone, former city marshal and
well known as gun fighter, after
Malone had threatened the marshaIs
life. A number of years ago Malone
shot and killed man at Hopkinsville,
KY. Later he is said to have killed a
negro in Pope county, Ill. Just before
removing from Galatia, ILL.,, where he
served as city marshal, Malone shot
man in the mouth, and few years

East st. Louis. He was tried for
murder in each instance but was &C.

TAKE THEM OUT

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind or
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.
A boy writes from jamestown, N. Y.
saying: "a short time ago | got into

HEAD OF PRISONS
IN RUSSIA slain
GEN. MAxIMoFFSkY is SHOT
DOWN IN ST. PETERSBURG
BY A WOMAN.
His Assassin Caueht-Admits She Is
Emissary of Social Revolutionists
Was Prepared to Blow Up Secret
Service Headquarters.

st. Petersburg, Oct 29.-Gen. Maxi
moffsky, director of the department
of prisons of the ministry of the in
terror, was shot and killed Monday by
a woman. The general was the high
est responsible official connected with
the Russian prisons and it is supposed
that this was the reason he was Sc
lected for assassination by the ter
rorists.
The assassin fired seven shots point
blank at the general, six of them TAX
ing effect. The wounded man was
hastily taken to hospital, but his
condition was hopeless.
Emissary of Revolutionists.
The generals assassin, who was
arrested Immediately, unhesitatingly
avowed herself to be an emissary Of
the northern flying section of the
social revolutionists, who had been
intrusted with the task of Furnishing
Maximoffsky for the stern regime
which he lately had introduced in the
treatment Of important political pris-
oners, whom he ordered to be treated
like ordinary criminals.
Gen. Maximoffsky was sponsor for
Gov. Borodulin of Akatui prison, ST.
IBERIA, the jailor of Mile. Spiridonova,
and who recently was assassinated at
Pakoff
Col. Ivanoff, governor of the political
prison at Viborg, who was assassinat-
n1 in Of
Maximoffsky's instruments. "a
The introduction of soldiers into the
prisons to preserve discipline was
one of the most detested measures of
Maximoffsky.
Prelude of Greater Act.
The assassination of Gen. Maximoff-
sky apparently was designed to be
only a prelude to greater act of
terrorism-the destruction of the
headquarters of the secret power,
which has been the object of at least
three terrorist plots of recent months.
When the slayer of Maximoff-
sky, who Monday night was identified
as Mile. Ragozinnikova, of Perm
province, the daughter of teacher in
the imperial conservatory of music,
was taken to the police station her
agitated attempts to free her bound
hands and reach toward her breast
led to an investigation, and it was
found that she carried inside her
corsage case containing 13 pounds
of high explosive, charge powerful
enough to blow the entire buildings
and it's occupants to pieces.

bob evans MAY Be
A Vice admiral
CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED TO
ESTABLISH THAT RANK
IN THE NAVY.
For Cruise to Pacific-Commande of
Mighty Fleet, If Only Rear Ad-
miral, Would Be outranked in
Countries He\WiIl Visit.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The great
battleship feet which is to make its
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific
will probably be commanded by vice
admiral, and that officer is now Rear
Admiral Robley D. Evans.
OF course this is conditional upon
congress giving its sanction to the
proposal that will be made by the ex-
ecutive to establish this new rank in
the navy. The idea is not new one.
In fact, the president in his last an
nual message to congress, as well as
the secretary of the navy in his an
nual report, made a recommendation
to that effect, but without securing
the approval of congress. Now, how
ever, conditions are believed to be
more favorable than ever before for
this project.
Reasons for the Change.
Rear Admiral Evans is going to sail
in command of the most powerful fleet
that ever gathered under the Ameri-
can flag. Not only that, he commands
more battleships of modern type than
any other naval officer in the world,
and the only officer whose blue pen
nant floats over more numerous fleet
of all kinds of warships is Lord
Charles Beresford, and he is of even
greater rank than vice admiral, be-
ing an admiral, like Dewey.
On this cruise the American fleet is
to touch in many foreign ports and is
to exchange courtesies with foreign
fleets. In several places-in Brazil, in
Chilli, in Argentina-the American
commander, supposing he retains his
present title of rear admiral, would be
outranked, for the navies of all of
these countries contain officers of the
grade of vice admiral, which would
make the American commanders po-
sition humiliating.
Wouldn't Last Long.
1t would be pointed out in Rear ,Ad-
miral Evans case that not only is he
by his remarkable service record en-
titled to this advancement, but any
objections to the creation of this new
grade that might be preached In con-
gress might be overcome by pointing
to the fact that as Rear Admiral
Evans retires next August, the office
will be of short duration.
