Telegrams received last Friday
informed our citizens of the death
of Hon. j. r. Hughes, at Mime
apolis, Mimi. Pressure of cir
cumstances have prevented The
Press from publishing am account
of the funeral services, and other
incidents connected with his death
and burial.
To the publisher of the Forest
City Press, his decease means the
breaking of a friendship and &C
quaintance of nearly thirty years.
which is to say that both were
among the first settlers who came
to Potter county-way back in the
days when the ''untutored red
man. still patroled both banks of
the Old Muddy. We are almost
tempted to say that Mr.. Hughes
biography for those 80 years
would be the history of Potter
county. With strong convictions
of right and duty, were also
coupled the personal magnetism
of the scholar and student. which.
while it made him Il banker and
legislator, also made him hosts of
friends, who will sincerely mourn
his loss. AS banker, he easily
stood in the first rank. This is
evidenced by his long connection
with the Potter County Bank, dur
ing the trying times of drouth and
backsets, when there never was
time but what county warrants
and other commercial paper were
cashed by the said bank at their
value.

Mrs King and child. also. OF
the remainder of the delegation
which went to Washington. only
one was Il resident of the Agency
or vicinity, viz: Mr.. Oliver Black
Eagle, allreturning to their homes
via CM&PS, thus preventing our
reporter from getting an inter
view with any of them, except
Mr.. Black Eagle; and his opinion
was that the remainder Of the Res
eryation would not be thrown open
to settlement for some five wears
yet.
Several things showed the row
alty-and loyalty-of the welcome
extended to Mr.. and Mrs. King bv
their many friends. Firstly, flags
were displayed over the govern
ment buildings all day. Secondly
the BaEd-of which Mr.. King is
one of its most efficient members
escorted the party to the residence
of MIR. and Mrs. VIM. Warnock
where arrangements had been
made for their rest and comfort
the remainder of the night. After
Il couple pieces of music by the
Band. while hearty hand shakes
were going on, the wants of the
inner man were attended to.
This was followed bya public re-
ception and dance on Thurs. even
ing, the Band again furnishing the
music, in full uniform. Of this
probably the most pleasing feat
ure was Sup't Kings story of his
late experience i'm Washington,
especially how he came to be
''6red'' 10y subordinate in the In
dian Commissioners Office, while
the latter was absent in New York
City, and his reinstatement on the
Commissioners return.
AS fitting climax to the above
mentioned events, it is now au-
thoritiyely stated that work is to
GO ahead on the new Domestic
Science building, concrete house
for preservation of butter and
eggs, for the school plant. and a
new hospital, which, as we have
been informed, is to have an up
to-date operating table for the use
of surgeons.
With these improvements, we
have the assurance of the culmi-
nation of the Supt's projects
which were started last summer.
viz: the old folks sanatarium, at
Cheyenne Agency, and the DEM
onstration farm on Lafferty island,
also the new ferryhoat.

10 New Zealand the largest shipper OF
mutton. The Argentine now occupies the
place formerly held by the United states
as purveyor of beef to Europe, the IN
crease In home consumption having cut
down our exports In marked degree
Argentina has been looked upon as
competitor of the United states In the
beef industry and has even been CONSIDER
ed by some as possible source of meat
for this country. The present OUTLOOK
there lends no color to such supposit'on.
Shipments Of beef from the River Pate
tc the United States may come shortly.
but they will probably be directed by the
same interests which supply the market
here. not In opposition to them.
80 far as the American packers are
concerned, their present operations In the
Argentine field have nothing to do with
the meat supply of the United states
Tho Immediate object Is to obtain sup
plies which can no longer be secured nj
home for their English market They
have not given up their foreign business.
as the diminishing export trade fgures
OF the United States might lead one to
suppose, but have simply transferred
their base from the Mississippi valley to
the River Plate"
In other words. the American packers,
30 many contend, have sought to control
the Argentine market and nave aimed
through using il to supply the Englis !
demand, to forestall competition from
that source in the American market.
In the meantime, although the United
States has not got any Argentine beef
1t has been Obliged to draw at steadily

Figures just compiled for 1912 show that
the imports of cattle in the fiscal year
1912 are greater. with single exception
than in any preceding year. The num-
Der of cattle imported was 3lS,312, VALUED
at s4so5,0oo. In tho same year the num-
Der of cattle exported was only 1Oo, Oi
valued at sS.S70.cn. a decade ago th'
number imported was 96,09', valued n
sl.6oS,T22. and the number exported 392.Ss!
valued at s29. 900, 900 Thus the number %
cattle imported in 1912 was three times a!
great as the number exported, while II
1909 the number exported was four time
as great as the number imported.
Nearly all Of tho cattle imported cam
| from Mexico. This complete reversal ii
| the trade currents OF the United state
| follows an impressive reduction In tn
number Of cattle on United States farms
On January /, 1912. the department o
| agriculture fixed the number at 5l,29.H'
as compared with 72,533, o9s on January
1907.
These dwndlng figures, in the opinio
of government experts, make the ques
ton of the Argentine supply and the cor
troll of her markets OF the greatest I'm

CoUNTERFE1TERs IN TOWN.
No Occasion for Alarm M They wero
Here 100 Years AGO.

Can you stretch your Imagination
sufficiently to picture a gang of counter
feiters coming bogus money in Burning
ton 100 years ago? There is probably no
man alive in this city to-day who recalls
the history OF such a gang. Nevertheless,
according to an old and curious pamphlet
in possession OF a resident o. Goshen.
N. Y, such gang once existed In the
Queen city, and with 1t began the
criminal career OF one David Lewis
known as Lewis the Rob5er," who for
years was 81 terror to the people Of
central Pennsylvania as leader of band
of desperadoes.
The pamphlet Is entitled confession
and Narrative OF David Lewis an Ac-
count Of the Life and Adventures of This
Celebrat d Countcrfeiter and Robber,
from the Commencement Of His Career
Until the period of His Death In the
Jail at Beilefonte. in Consequence of d
Wound Received in the attempt to Re
take Him by the Posse Comitatus of
Center County. Carlisle, Pa Printed by
John Mcfarland, 1890"
In his confession. Lewis narrates many
incidents of his wild life while n youngster
and tells how he escaped from a military
prison. where he was under sentence OF
death FOR desertion. The pamphlet goes
on to state that Lewis met n peddler
whom he Joined and who turned out &c
he an agent for a gang Of counterfeiters,
with headquarters in burlington.
Lewis came to Burlington with his new
companion and Joined the gang, remaining
an active member OF 1t for a year. He ther
started out as distributor of bogus
