other prompts him to so conduct him.

from purely financial standpoint,
does it pay?

Americans Spending Less in Paris

American travellers abroad, upon re-
turning home, are reporting with
greater frequency that they have been
advised by American consular repre-
sentatives to save their money and
buy at home. A few years ago a con-
sui who took any interest in American
affairs except politics and his salary
was rarity. In Paris alone American
importations during the past year
were 21,60O,000 less than in 1907. At
that they amounted to more than s42.-
100000. There were two other con-
tributing causes to the fall in Paris
sales to Americans, the financial de-
preston and the fact that London is
rapidly taking the place of Paris as
the great European market for Ameri.
cans.

ABB MCINTOSH is DEAD.
After Escaping From Officers is
Found Dead in Kansas City.

A. B. Mcintosh, of Mercer, whose
drug store at that place was burned, to-
gether with five other buildings, on
Monday morning of last week was found
dead in rooming house in Kansas City
on last Sunday about noon by the land
lady of the establishment. She had
visited his room about 10 a. m. at which
time he was sitting in u chair reading
newspaper. When she returned to call
him to dinner she found him lying dead
on the bed. An investigation by the
authorities did not disclose the cause Of
death, but circumstances went to show
that it occurred from natural causes,
propably heart disease.
The deceased had been indicted in
the circuit court at Princeton charged
with illegal liquor selling at Mercer
and failing to appear for trial when
the case was called last week his bond
was declared forfeited. 1t was found
that he was i'll at his home in Mercer,
but when an officer was sent to Mercer
on Friday morning to arrest him he
learned shat Mcintosh had procured a
livery team and started north a few
moments before his arrival. He tele-
phoned to the officers of South Lineville
to arrest him, but he did not appear
here and later it was found that McIn-
tosh had reached the state line east of
town and was beyond the jurisdiction
of the Missouri authorities. He appear
in Lineville later in the day and on the
following morning was supposed to have
boarded No Gl for the west, but his
whereabouts were unknown until the
news of his death was heard through a
long distance telephone message to
Mercer from the authorities at Kansas
City.
The deceased was born and reared in
Mercer county and is we'll known about
Lineville and throughout this section.
He was about so years of age and leaves
a widow and and four children. His
remains arrived at Mercer on Tuesday
afternoon and the funeral was held
yesterday, the burial being at the
Middlepoint cemetery west of Mercer.
