Experts of Amcrkaa Cattle.
The exports of live cattle and dressed
beef from the United States to the Uni
ted Kingdom are among the pleasantest
features of the commercial situation just
at present, Last week the exports were
equal to 14200 head of cattle, which is
said to be unprecedented in the history
of the business. To accommodate the
great trade every regular line of steam
ers that leave the United States is used,
except the Cunard line. Even the su
perb Inman liner, the City of Paris, took
out 2,000 quarters of beef. The carrying
of passengers by the National line steam
ers is stopped, mainly for the benefit of
the exporters who want to ship live
cattle. The National, Wilson, Beaver
and Hill lines are occupied almost en
tirely in carrying live cattle. This boom
in expo tation has been growing steadily
for ten months, and is owing to the fact
that cattle are low in price in this conn
cry and high in price in England, and
that the great corn crop of last summer
put the beeves in better condition than
ever before. New York Tribune.

From osr regalar
Senator Hawley of Connecticut, or as
most people hereabout call him JotT
Hawley, is not a native down easter but,
this, few people who know bis peculiar
faculty of always "getting there," would
Ne
believe, so well has he imbibed the
shrewdness which seems to come natur
al to most citizens of his adopted state.
I am reminded of this by the manner in
which Senator Hawley stolen march on
all hia republican colleagues by getting
invited to aooompany the president dar
ing a three days pleasure. trip on 'the
U. a a Despatch. When the fact is re
membered that great trouble is con
stantly undergone by senators, members
and other influential republican in or
der to get the president's ear for a few
minutes it can be fully maderstood what
a very fortunate man Senator Hawley is
in being able to speak to the -president
at any time 'he may desire for three
whole days. The other members of the
presidential party which left here Satur
day morning bound for Chesapeake Bay
and ia scheduled to return some time
tonight were Mrs. Harrison, the two
McKee children and Secretaries Windom
and Busk. There are a number of men
in Washington who would have paid a
big price to have taken Senator Haw
ley's place.
Today the count of the cash in the
United States treasury begins. It is ex
pected that it will take nearly or quite
three months to complete it The count
is made necessary by the change in the
office of treasurer. The count will be
made under the personal -supervision of
a committee of three, two representing
the treasury department and the third,
Mr. Huston, the new treasurer. The
money which is to be counted is $10,
935,157 in United States notes, $3,53822
in National bank notes, $148,199,511
standard silver dollars,. $2,002,648 in

$70230 in gold certificates and $773,412

First Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson has gained the good wfll of all
the lady clerks in hia office by issuing an
order prohibiting smoking by employes
located in rooms where lady clerks are
employed. To most people it would
seem that such an order should have
been unnecessary. But it wasn't Hence
Mr. Clarkson's order.
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt of New York,
the newly appointed civil service com
missioner arrived here today and at
once assumed his duties. The new dem
ocratic commissioner, ex-Gov. Thomp
son of South Carolina, qualified the day
after his- appointment, which he had
been anxiously awaiting ever since the
4th of March. The commission is now
full for the first time in many months,
and it is said that one of the first things
it will do will be to endeavor to get the
president to reverse the decision of the
interior department putting the appoint
ments in the census bureau outside the
civil service rules. But in this matter
the Commissioners are almost certain to
be disappointed, as the decision was
made strictly in accordance with the act
of congress that created the census
bureau.
The president's departure on his little
three days holiday was an entire sur
prise to the office seekers, some of them
being selfish enough to "kick" about it
in a wild manner among their personal
friends.
The honor of being the first colored
appointee of the president has fallen to
Bev. James M. Townsend of Richmond,
Ind., who has been appointed recorder
of the general land office. Mr. Town
send was a member of the fifty-fourth
Massachusetts regiment during the re
bellion; since the war he has been a
member of the Indiana legislature, and
is at present the missionary secretary of
the A. M. E. church. He has been a
warm personal friend of the president
for many years.
Postmaster General Wanamaker does
not believe that the time has quite
come for one cent letter postage, so he
has adopted as his motto, "Dont reduce
the rate, but improve the service."
That is just the sort of idea to have of
our postal service; give us four or five
years of improvements at the present
rate, and then let's talk about penny
postage. Of course everybody knows
that it has got to come in a few years.
Secretary Tracy in his general order

ery for the battle ship Texas, now being
built at the Norfolk, Va navy yard to
the Richmond Locomotive Works. The

FORT ANCIENT.
A Nebranka Maa la the Baekeye State.
Editor Journal: We western people
living on our smooth, alluvial prairies
are not permitted to see any of the
curious remains of the works of those
mysterious people we call the Mound
Builders. So, when on the morning of
the 6th of May I climbed the high bluff
of the romantic Little Miami river and
gained the first battlement of old Fort
Ancient, it occurred to me that perhaps
some of my old friends and neighbors
would be pleased to hear of those won
derful remains of an extinct civilization.
Fort Ancient is a series of mounds and
embankments situated on a high table
land south of the Little Miami river in
Warren county, Ohio. In their general
arrangement the embankments comprise
two large enclosures, very irregular and
broken in shape, and connected by a
narrow causeway. The walls are of
earth piled upon a foundation of loose
stones, these materials having been evi
dently gathered close by. They range
in height from twelve to twenty feet and
vary in width from eighteen to thirty
feet: Their great age is attested by the
gigantic oaks and poplars that grow
along their top and sides. Here and
there blank places occur, probably for
gates or sally-ports. In one place we
find the remains of a subterranean canal
connecting the fort with the river.
The small fort is much the strongest
and best protected, and was probably
used as a refuge from besieging armies,
while the large fort was undoubtedly
the site of a city, and a short distance
from its southeast gate stand "two
mounds, from which the sentinels could
easily watch, the advanoe of an enemy
and give the warning signal to the peo
ple' in the city.
Some members of our party dug into
the mounds and found numerous, human
bones, bits of pottery and flint weapons,
but the general supposition is that these
belong to later races than the builders
of the fort.
Of the origin of tiwi iinaiw fortnl-
cations, absolutely nothing ia known.
The tribes of Indians who formerly
made their home in these forts did not
have the slightest knowledge or tradi
tion of the builders, and no- legend or
record has yet bean brought out to oast
light upon the mystery. From the great
extent of the works (nearly eight miles
in all), we may well infer that the race
that reared these noble walla were great
in number and no mean adepta in the
art of warfare. No one with ordinary
powers of observation and reflection
could fail to be impressed by the grand
eur of the scene, and by- a abort flight of
the imagination he finds himself gazing
in wonder at the race of people who lived
upon this spot, lived, worked and per
ished and their only monuments are
shrouded in oblivion.

Three days is a very short time in
which to cure a bad case of rheumatism;
but it can be done, if the proper treat
ment ia adopted, as will be seen by the
following from James Lambert, of New
Brunswick, His. "I was badly afflicted
with rheumatism in my hips and legs,
when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. It cured me in three days.
I am all right today; and would insist on
every one who is afflicted with that ter
rible disease, to use Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and get well at once." For sale

A farmer named Miller, near David
City, who was kicked by a colt about
three weeks ago, died Thursday, of the
injuries received.
It was mentioned by the late Horace
Greely, that nothing "succeeds like suc
cess!" If this be true, Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will always be popular,
as it never fails. It is intended, especial
ly for coughs, colds, croup and whoop
ing cough, and is undoubtedly the best
and most reliable medicine in use for
those diseases. It is decidedly a success.
