Almost a Fire.

The family of George McEl-
downey and that Of Mrs. Lottie
Grissinger occupy a double house
on West Walnut street. Tuesday
morning Mrs. McEldowney de-
tected the odor of smoke that in
dicated smouldering fire, and it
seemed to come from the side of
the house occupied by Mrs. Girls
singer. The Grissinger family
had gone away from the house a
short time before this, the daugh-
ter, Miss Lucille, being at school.
Word was sent to Lucille, who
came home, went into the house
and found that a dress that had
been hanging near where the
stovepipe came through the sec
ond floor, had fallen against the
pipe, had ignited, and set fire to
the floor around the pipe and was
burning the oil cloth around the
pipe hole. The fire was. quickly
extinguished, and lucky it was
that it was discovered early.

CAMPBELL'S TEAM WIPES
 FLOOR WITH HAASCH NINE

Seventeen to one is the score given by Manager Harry HOben as the re- suit of yesterdays game between the Campbell and Haasch hines on Lum- Der Park, formerly Bay View Park. The game is made doubly interesting because of the fact that no one can see all he groundat one and the same time and conjecture enters largely into the matter. Last year the base ball boys went to a lot of work level ling the ground and their work was so fine that the Engineering Commis- sion decided to use the improved plot as a lumber yard. It has been hoped for some time that the officials can see their way clear before the Fourth of July to pick out some part of the various miles of government property in che ueighborhood for the storing of those sticks. It is a pity to see the game spoiled. There were some good individual plays yesterday and some of the other kind.

General Funston has now been authorized to assume full command of our troops n Mexico at the Namiquipa base We have thirteen thou sand soldiers there but they face army under General Trevino which numbers about fifty thousand It is ex- pected that Funston would seize the Mexican railroads at the outbreak of hostes to send endorsements to Per shng It was learned that at nine last night Baker made

Official data showing unparalleled
prosperity in all parts of the United

tight upon the coffins OF the Republi-
can calamity howlers.
According to figures just made pub
lie by the bureau OF Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce, Department OF Com
merce. exports for last March exceed
ed 40 millions of dollars in value
This beats the February high record
by seven millions. 1t is 113 millions
above the amount recorded in March,
1915. and is nearly double the March
average for the past FIVE years
In the nine months of the current
fiscal year ending with March, the to-
tai American exports is but five mil
lions short OF three billion dollars.
This is one billion dollars more than
the record for any corresponding nine

United States. And, since the world
began. no other nation has sold it's
products abroad on so gigantic a
scale.
