REVIVAL OF SILVER.

The haste with which silver miners abandoned their claims after the denomination of silver in 1873 was amazingly illustrated by the relocation, by Helena, Montana, men, recently, of a mine that promises to be rich and that, though worked during period of several years. never was patented.
 More than that, it seems not to have been visited since abandoned. The relocators found old shovels, with the wood almost eaten away, just where they had been dropped.
 There is no means now for de- termining to whom the mine, which lis situated some miles from Helena, once belonged. Ore abandoned in the shaft is declared to have assayed so rich that company to work the claim was formed at once.
 The denomination of silver prob ably reduced, in a day, rich mine to a failure. With silver at the pres. ent price, the ore discovered will pay very well, it is said, and may mean fortune

HOLE IN HUN BORDER;
 GERMAN GOODS ESCAPE

KATTOWITZ, Upper Silesia.- There is a hole or gap in the east ern customs border of Germany, as we'll as in the west, and through both, it is charged, articles of lux ury and German money are flowing. Illegal traders from Poland slip through the German lines every day and return to Poland with whatever they can purchase in the way of shoes, clothes, textiles, sugar, and food, much of which Germany wants to retain for her own use, but which are greatly desired in Poland.
 There is no border and, no hind rance of this trade. It is alleged that the goods thus shipped from Germany into Poland run up into millions of marks.

MEXICAN DOLLAR AT PREMIUM NOW;
 GOLD GOES DOWN

SHANGHAI. - While Americans have been buying British pounds sterling in New York for $3.70 or less, Americans here have been pay ing $1OO in American gold for 7G Mexican dollars, which are in cur rent use here.
 This unprecedented advance in the rate of exchange in Shanghai has been due to the acute rise in the price of silver Probably no coun- try in the world has been more sharply affected by this enhanced value of silver than has China.
 In consequence of the confused state of exchange, the foreign trade through this city, China's principal commercial center, became more or less disorganized. Exporters ceased to look for new business and con- fined their activities wholly to filling old contracts from the terms of which they would have been glad to escape.
 Shanghai bankers held frequent conferences day and night in an effort to determine what might be done to stabilize the exchange rates. For one day, all but one of the leading banks in the city declined 10 issue drafts in connection with ex- port shipments to America. Those exporters who buy their goods iii China for silver and sell them abroad for gold suffered most se- verely. They were obliged to re- strict operations or raise prices wherever the goods were sold.
 On the other hand, importers who buy their goods in America and are paid for them in Mexican dollars have prospered. -..'..
 One of the difficulties arising from the exchange situation is that much of the business here is done under terms arranged several years ago, when an American dollar was worth two Mexican dollars or more. Con- sequently foreign workers here have suffered. s~:
 The bankers concluded that one solution of the problem would be to increase the price of China's products throughout the world.

FIGHTING MONOPOLY.

Creation of an international trade commission to deal with those who seek world monopoly and are in a position to injure not only the consumers in their own country, but those in foreign nations as we'll, was recommended by Huston Thompson, of the Federal Trade commission, in an address recently before the Second Pan-American Financial conference at Washington.
 Complaints should come through national trade commissions, Mir. Thompson said, and each cause tried before representatives of the inter- national body not belonging to the nation whose citizens were involved in the litigation.
 "The definition of what was an unfair trade practice before this commission could be found in the trade practices already condemned by the laws of many nations, both ancient and modern," Mir. Thomp- son said, "the rulings of the re- spective trade commissions, the trade practice submittal lists,' such as our commission has already re- ceiyed from some of our industries, the announcements of political economists, and above all, in the common sense of those before whom the case was presented after inves- aigation and hearing. "..
 "In the universal publicity of the findings of such body would lie the corrective. :
 "I have been asked who would police the committing of the of lenses. The answer is tfe same as in our domestic business-the com petitor. Is there not every reason to believe that under the inspira tion of the respective national trade commissions the industries in each nation would write their own trade practice submittal list of unfair practices just as they are doing in this country?"
 A national trade mark, established by Congress, as means of increas- ing national pride and controlling the quality of goods exported from the United States, also was urged by Mir. Thompson. Failure on the part of an exporter to deliver goods of the same grade and quality as sam ples would be sufficient cause fol refusing permission to use the trade mark.

among Medina's nimrods. It was the
last day to kill rabbits; and many
went after Bunny in a last effort fol
a rabbit dinner. 1t was, too, the last
day for foxes and several small
drives were on to get a chance te
wipe out Sir Reynard and his lair.
Hunters in and about Litchfield
indulged in a fox roundup Satur-
day. The drive covered the whole
township and when the score was tai
lied there were five dead foxes. A
drive in that section earlier in the
week started IL foxes, but all but one
got away. So Saturday more care

hands of DR.. Clever. The swelling
on his right cheek, that has given
him trouble for many months, was
lanced by the surgeon, the cavity
washed out, and the young man told
he could go home-that it was rot
necessary to spend any time in the
hospital.
Young Pelton was standing on the
street in Akron with his father when
young lad stepped up, after sur
veying his swollen cheek, and told
him he knew a surgeon who could
cure him, said that he had been cured
of worse swelling by the same man
and knew the possibilities of an oper-
alton.
Mr.. Pelton took the lad in his ma
chine and together they drove to the
Doctors office. He told Ashley it
would be simple operation, to "get
into the chair and we'll have it over
in few minutes" Cocaine was us
ed to deaden the flesh of the cheek
and the operation performed without
an anaesthetic. Young Pelton re-
turned home at night and is resting
for few days while the wound heals

FALLS ON THE ICE
AT HUNTINGTON'S POND

Frank Olin had fall on the ice
on Sophia Huntington's pond Sunday
evening that came near ending his
career. In the fall he struck the
back of his head, dazing him. Not
returning home at supper time his
mother made a search and found him
late in the evening wandering about
near the pond not knowing where he
was or what he had been doing.
He had suffered severe concus-
sion, but under medical treatment was
brought to himself. He remained
in a dazed condition until Monday.
Mrs. Olin insists there should be
some sort of observation over this
recreation spot, so that when some
one is injured beyond power to take
care of self, and no one with suffic-
lent intelligence is about, aid may be
given the injured one.
