OUTPUT OF GOLD Mines
TOTAL PRODUCT FOR 1908 WAS
5,47O, $40 OUNCES.
Colorado Leads With $22, S71 900,
Alaska Second With $40, $685.
500, California Bic, 323, 700

Washington.-The gold mines of the
United States produced $94, 100000
worth of the precious metal during 1908,
according to the United States geological
survey, and the bureau of mines, which
have co-operated in preparing an analysis
of the reports from private retiners and
federal mints and assay offices.
The total gold product was 5,47o,34o
ounces, a net increase in value of 1924,
300. Colorado leads with a productive
value of $22, S71 900; Alaska was second,
with $19,s5s,s 500, and California was
third, with 1891 700. Porto Rico was
the smallest producer, with a total OF
only 5000. The Philippines show re-
markable increase of $219,S00 to a total
of 1924, 500.
Some states of the union usually not
associated in the public mind with gold
mining make showing in the report.
In fact, twenty-one of the states and
territories, not including Porto Rico and
the Philippines, are producing gold.
Texas produced $50 worth in 1908; New
Hampshire mined 5000 worth, and
somewhere in the vast grazing country
of Wyoming was produced $500 The
summary shows a net decrease of 4,073,-
900 ounces of silver, with value of $685.

BUT SHE HAD ENOUGH.
Schools for Tuberculous Children.

Special schools for tuberculous chill
dren have now been established in
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches-
ter, Washington, Hartford, Conn. Chi
cago and Pittsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington, d. c.,
two. The board of education of New
York city is proposing to establish
three more and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark,
N. ].
In cities like Providence, Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment of
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of institutions.
This, coupled with the experience of
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land, proves that children can be cured
of tuberculosis and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.

AFTER COTTON SHARKS
GOVERNMENT WILL INVESTI-
GATE COTTON GAMBLING.
Growers Join Hands With Spinners.
Planned to Reach Spectators
Under Antitrust Law.

Washington, d. C.-Cotton gambling
In New York and Boston is likely to
become the subject of legal action by the
department of justice that may result
in landing in Jail some Of the biggest
cotton spectators of the country under
the provisions of the Sherman antitrust
law.
While no action has yet been taken by
Acknowledgement Wickersham, President
Taft has discussed the matter with him
with view to planning a thorough in
vestigation by his department and the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
Behind this latest move on the part of
the federal government are the congress
sional delegations of all of the cotton
States of the South and of the New Eng
land States in which the great textile
mills are located.
One man who is largely responsible for
the interest which members of congress
and the president have shown in cotton
speculation is Senator John Walter
Smith of South Carolina, who for many
years has been prominently identified
with the cotton growers and came to the
senate with the avowed purpose of go
ing after" the manipulators of the price
of the South's greatest product
Cotton mill owners who are ready to
furnish the government with information
and are determined to wage the fight to
the very end are said to represent an
aggregate capital of $25o,000, 600. Their
interest and that of cotton growers is
practically the same in this instance, and
the fact that they have joined forces to
aid the government in its proposed in
vestigation and probable legal action is
taken here to mean that the work will be
done thoroughly.

WOMEN KILLED BY POSSE
Cover Retreat of Male Members of
Family From Mob.

Lexington, Ky.-A revival of the
Christian-Daniels feud on the West Vir
ginia border has resulted in the killing
of two women, Mrs. Charles Daniels and
her 16-year-old daughter, Mary, who
were shot down while defending their
cabin home against the attack of a
sheriff's posse which had been formed to
capture Jim Daniels and his brother,
Charles, accused of killing George Chris
tian.
About three weeks ago George Chris
tian returned to the Kentucky side, and
was shot down by Jim Daniels without
provocation, it is claimed. Christian and
Daniels were brothers-in-law, and had
formerly been allies. Each had served
term in the West Virginia penitentiary
upon the charge of murder and shooting
to kill. They fell out over trivial mat.
ter and became deadly enemies.
After the killing of Christian by Dan
iels the two families and their friends
became involved and for some days both
factions have gone about heavily armed

MAY TAKE NICARAGUA
APPEAL FOR INTERVENTION TO
STOP ANARCHY.
Americans Were Serving as Volun-
teers in Rebel Army, and Did
Not Deserve Death.

Washington.-Tha the United States
is converging its forces for Intervention
in Nicaragua can be asserted on the
most reliable authority.
At the very moment that President
Zelaya protests to the state department
that the two American citizens murdered
by him, Groce and Cannon, were exc
cuted legally, the navy department will
issue new and peremptory orders to YES
sells to proceed to the Nicaragua port.
I'VE are praying that God will cause
some foreign power to intervene in the
name of humanity and put an end to
the anarchistic conditions that exist in
Nicaragua"
This ringing appeal, contained in a
letter Struggled aboard steamer at
Corinton and received at Panama, has
stirred this government as has no de-
velopment since the nation was startled
by the announcement that the two Amer
leans, Leonard Groce and Leroy X. Can
non, had been barbarously murdered by
order of Santos Jose Zelaya, president
of Nicaragua and trouble-maker of Cen.
trail America.
The plea for intervention has caused
a profound impression at the state de-
partment. 1t has planted in the minds
of the government officials the seeds of
a plan that may bear fruit eventually
in the annexation of despot-ridden Mica
ragua.
To cap the climax of the testimony
that has been piling up to show that
Zelaya's act in condemning the two
Americans to death without trial was
an outrage on civilization, came the tele
gram to Salvador Castrillo, representa-
tive of the Nicaragua revolutionists in
this city, signed by Juan Estrada, lead
er of the revolutionists, who has pro-
claimed himself president of the provi-
sional government. 1t read:
Cannon and Groce were serving as
with the rank of colonies,
in the revolutionary army, and conse-
quently did not deserve the death pen
atty. A similar crime of Zelaya's has
never been witnessed in the history of
Central America"

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such secret worker that
it is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in it's place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid hundred times the amount
of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
1.-THE. use of Postum instead of cof-
fee was begun about year ago, and
1t has made my husband a strong, well
man. He has gained thirty-five pounds
In that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared
"The first time l prepared 1t did
not boil it long enough and he said
there was something wrong with 1t.
Sure enough 1t did taste very fat, but
the next morning followed directions
carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes,
and he remarked this is better than
any of the old coffee
I'VE use Postum regularly and never
tire of telling our friends of the bene-
fit we have received from leaving Off

OUR TRADE is LOOKING UP
Imports Show Good Increase, While
Exports Fall Off

Washington-After general falling
off in the balance of trade, the United
States is beginning its upward climb
again and placing the credit on the
right side of the ledger.
The bureau of statistics of the de-
partment of commerce and labor Satur-
day made public its report of trade for
October and the ten months ending with
October. While it discloses the fact that
the imports for the ten months have
risen from $500, 53s,271 to $1,196,239,-
292, and the gross sold to other coun-
tries have fallen from 81, 400, ISL, 1877 to
$1,361, 50S,9s0 as compared with the
corresponding ten months of last year,
it also holds out hope in the increases
shown in the export trade for last
month, which totalled $500, s,343, or
more than $2s, 100000 in excess of the
amount shipped abroad in October, 1905
The Imports for October of this year
were 1927, $685. $3.50 while for the cores
ponding month last year they were
$102, 04O,11O.

TWO GIRLS IN FATAL FIGHT
One Dies of Knife Thrust; the other
Is in jail.

Little Rock, Ark.-A special to the
Gazette from Bradford, Ark, says;
In street duel with knives at Alicia,
a town located near here, Miss Nora
Owens was fatally injured by Miss Stell
Belk, and died within few minutes
after the cutting. Both young ladies
were very prominent at Alicia, were well
known and stood we'll in the community.
The duel was caused by misunder-
standing that had existed between the
two young ladies for some time.
Miss Owens was cut in four different
places. The fatal cut was in the left
breast, where an artery leading to the
heart was severed, causing almost in
slant death.
The body of Miss Owens was buried
Sunday. The funeral was attended by
the largest crowd of people seen at a
funeral in Alicia in years. Excitement
at Alicia is high as the result of the kill
ing Miss Bell was arrested and taken
into custody by the officers.

BLIND TIGERS MULTIPLY.
Court Records in Atlanta Show Con-
ditions Growing Worse.

Atlanta, Ga.-The longer prohibition
continues in Atlanta, the less it pro-
hibits, according to the court records.
The number of blind tiger cases during
the second year of prohibition already
multiplies the number made in the first
year by three.
Up to the present 225 convictions have
been secured from the city court for VIC
lation of the prohibition law.
During the entire year of 1908 only 70
cases for the violation of the prohibition
law We're sustained in the city court.
The largest number for the year made
in single month was 10, against 81
made in March and also in May of this
year.
