lished in 1907. according to the
statistical abstract of the United

merce and Labor. This abstract puts
the total exports of the various coun-
tries and colonies of the world in
that year at $14,000,000,O00 and
the imports at $16,000,00O,000.
OF this grand total the United
States is accredited with 14.4 per
cent. of the imports and with 80
per cent. of the exports. Ten coun-
tries contributed more than two
thirds of the total. On the export
side the United Kingdom headed the
list with $2,073,00O, the United
States coming next with $1,835,OOO,
Germany next with $1,629,00O and
France fourth with $1,080,00O. On
the import side the United Kingdom
again headed the list with $3,143,-
100000, Germany coming second
with $2,082, 100000, France third
with $1,201, 100000 and the United
States fourth with $1,194, O0O, 900.
Practically two-thirds of this total

cutting out of tonsils from the
threats of everyone subject to tuber-
culosis is advocated by the physicians
attending the fifty-fourth annual con-
vention of the Illinois Homeopathic
Medical Association.
Tonsils clearly had no friends
among the assembled physicians.
One described them as things good
for breeding microbes" Another de-
clared that no use for them ever has
been found, and the agreement was
general that their removal checked
incipient tuberculosis.
Twelve per cent. of the children
examined recently" said Dr.. Richard
H. Street, "were found infected with
incipient tuberculosis. When the
tonsils of these children were remov-
ed there was complete recovery"

lowing the holdup of a Great North
ern passenger train by six bandits
between Colbert and Mead, IL per-
sons were injured when the loco
motive and the mail car. cut off from
the rest of the train. ran back wild
after the bandits had rifled the mails
of an unknown amount, and collided
with the rest of the train, which
had been left standing where the
bandits got possession of the train.
Having taken the detached mail
car down the track a considerable
distance, the robbers looted the reg
istered mail and, reversing the en-
mail car crashing back into the pas
senger coaches.
The conductor saw the wild cars
backing down the track rs miles,
and he and another trainman placed
tie on the track to stop their flight;
but the cars, though partly stopped
by this means, plunged into the
coaches, throwing passengers from
their seats, cutting them with glass
from broken windows. A trainman
nerved to the task sprang aboard
the locomotive as the collision oc-
Cured and shut off the steam, stop
ping the havoc.
When the train reached Colbert
late some switching had to be done.
While the engine crew was busy at
this work two men sprang into the
cab and, thrusting revolver against
the bodies of Engineer VIM. Miller
and Fireman John Hill, ordered them
to do as commanded. The engineer
and the fireman complied. and the
mail cars were cut off from the rest
of the train by four other robbers.
The locomotive and the mail car
were then run up the track few
miles. Then the engineer and his
fireman were forced to leave the
cab.
Two of the robbers went to the
door of the car and ordered it open
ed. Their command was obeyed by
Benjamin F. Stumpf, mail clerk, who
was hurried away from the cars,
with the enginemen, by dozen re-
volver shots.
Manning the locomotive them
selves, the outlaws took the mail
cars down the track and looted the
registered mail. Then they started
the locomotive back toward the rest
of the train and escaped.
Conductor C. l.. Robertson had
brakeman cut in the telegraph wire
to send word to Spokane. While
he was busy telgraphing, about a
half hour after the locomotive and
the mail car had disappeared. he
saw the powerful locomotive career
ing toward the coaches in which
many persons were asleep. as the
robbers had acted quietly in Selling
the mail car.
Many of the passengers knew
nothing of the holdup until awaken
ed by the collision.

element Attending An Operation
On Mrs. Taft's Son Charles AT A
Hospital-The Yacht Sylph Was
Hurried Back Soon After The
Start Was Made.

Washington. D. c. Especially -
Mrs. Taft. suffering from slight
nervous breakdown. was taken i'll
Monday while on her way from this
city to Mount Vernon on the yacht
Sylph, with party of friends and
was hurried back to the White House
It was said at the White House that
there is no cause for alarm and
that Mrs. Taft probably will be all
right again in a few days. She was
anable to be present at an official
dinner at the White House.
President Taft himself prepared
the following statement in regard to
Mrs. Taft's condition:
Mrs. Taft is suffering from a
slight nervous attack. She attended
The Eye. Ear and Throat Hospital,
where Charlie Taft underwent a
slight operation on his throat. She
was with him for several hours. She
then started with the President and
4 small party of friends on the Sylph
Tor Mount Vernon. The excitement,
neat and exertion were too much for
Mrs. Taft's nerves and the party was
obliged to turn back before reaching
Alexandria. Mrs Taft was quickly
carried to the White House. The
doctor says that after few days of
complete rest Mrs Taft may be able
20 resume her social duties. DR.. De-
!aney is in attendance.
Mrs. More. Mrs. Taft's sister. acted
as hostess at the official dinner at the
White House at night.
The operation performed on Char
lie was not of serious nature.
Mrs. Taft has taken most active
lead in Washington society during the
season now drawing to close, but
her health has always been robust,
and she has never shown any fndi-
cation of weakness of fatigue, though
she has always led an active life.
Mrs. Taft is devotee of music
and graduated with the highest hon.
ors from the Cincinnati College of
Music For seven years she was
president of the Cincinnati Orchestra,
an organization which she founded
and which, under her management,
was entirely successful.
In personal appearance she is of
more than average height, graceful,
poised, dignified woman. Easy,
friendly manners, fine sense of hos
pitality and unusual powers of intel
lectual conversation render her es-
pecially well fitted for presiding at
social gatherings. while wide famili-
arity with the customs of many coun-
tries puts her at ease in any diplo-
matte circle.
Mrs. Taft is daughter of John w.
Heron. of Cincinnati, and her mar
riage to Mr.. Taft took place in June
1886.
