REPORTS OF THE

AS TO COAL PRODUCTION, SEX
AMONG LlTTERs OF PIGS,

AND WAGES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE stat.
isticlans keep at work allthe time and
while figures are usually dull reading
there is now ami then an emission
from the census or other bureaus that
interests the public: This week we
are told by the geological survey that
this country produced 4140Oo,O0o tons
Of coal last year, worth s5Oo,oOO,OOO.
West Virginia produced great part
of this amount, ranking next to Penn
sylvania In coal production,
The animal husbandry section of the
department Of agricultural contrib
utes a thrilling Item to the stitistical
information Of the day when it in
forms us that in filters of pigs the
number Of males slightly exceeds the
number Of females, the ratio being
2O1 to 200, Is another argument in
favor Of the supremacy Of the male
sex throughout nature.
Commissioner OF internal Revenue
John G. Capers, issued few figures
about whiskey. He tells US that there
is much more whiskey remaining in
the warehouses this year than last,
That may mean that the distillerles
are making more, ordt may mean that
the peopletare drinking less. Anyhow
there are 100000 more gallons in
the warehouses awaiting consumption
than year ago.
And now for some more figures OF
another and dryer sort, Yet it is in
teresting just now when the working
people are talking strike and striking.
Last year the enormous sum of ten
and one-third billion dollars was paid
to wage earners in this country. These
figures give an annual average income
of $3.50 to each person employed. The
profits Of capital last year on the labor
of others was but three and one-halt
billion dollars.

Following the crime the greatest of

The story is probably told Of the

of the children and all the family were
taking part on both the Nolte and
Aultman side. Mrs. Aultman cannot
tell great deal about the crime, as
at the serious point she was struck
over the head with club and knocked
senseless, but knows that shots were

yard and fall. Previously he had
made the remark that he would fix
the Aultmans, 1t is said. Anna Beltz

corn and oats were each up 1ac and pro-
visions were 12lza15c to 30c higher.
The sharp upturn of the wheat mar

spring wheat will be much smaller than
usual because of the continued cold
weather also strengthened the market.
The wheat pit was flooded with damage
reports from all sections of the country.
The report causing the greatest disquiet-

RUM0RS OF CROP DAMAGE

New York, May 1.-THE incisive tone OF
speculative sentiment in the stock market
was reflected today in the irregular fluct-
uation OF prices. Evidently the reports
OF poor crop conditions weigh on the mar
ket and leave small inducement to enter
upon large commitments until the actual
CONDITIONS OF the wheat crop are clearly
understood. Industrious efforts were made
to sootne apprehension of crop damage in
connection with the carly effort today to
lilt prices of stocks. The likelihood of
SAagSeration in statements made for spec
hlatlVe effect upon the grain markets was
pointed out and it was said the govern
1nent report next Friday would prove
a much less discOuraging document than
current reports Indicate The effect of
these statements was helped by the ini-
