No dl cuaalon will be had over a primary to se lect dah-gates or to vote on a presidential ' Trfarenre. The democrat have been orglng the republicans: to hold a .'primary to vota for president, but the Bryan boosters are not In favor of going to the trouble of holding a primary.

George W. Berge In tends to make the race for the nomina tion, and he registered a a democrat at -the taat primary .In order to wipe out any objection to him from old line demo crats. The leaders of the party do not wsnt Berge and they will attempt at the meeting Wednesday to agree on a man to contest with him for. the honor. All of which Is vouched for by a democrat. AatLBnrkett Leader Not flelerted. Opponents of .Senator Buikett have not yet agreed upon , a itian to content with lilm for a place on the delegation to the tteVlonal convention, though at thia time it looks like Judge Allen Field will be the man. Many or the opponents, believe Judge Frost or W,, R. Rose would show up stronger thsn Field,' but under the cir cumstances it is believed Mr. Rose desires to keep out of the fight, while Judge Frost has just been elected district judge and ha may not desire to again go before tho' people so soon, as ho expect In the future to ask for something higher. Vari ous factions of the party here, however, have held frequent conferences during the last few days and the word that comes . from .these conferences Is that an agree ment will be reached in due time. Just What Senator Burkett . Is . doing Is not plain to the republicans here' If he Is doing anything, but he has enough friends In the county to keep him posted and It Is not believed he Is Idle. The .county com mittee hss not yef been. 'called to meet and It Is not ' known 'wlielher the com mittee will order a primary.

Ho Is now sending out a mimeograph answer and In his letters he aaya he Is for Mr. Hammond, because of tho latter's devotion to the republican porty for .twonty-ftve years, and he con clude with an argument for Hammond's . appointment.

DOUBLE , EN LAST- EIGHT YEARS Aaarearate f - Tnr?taartera f Billion Hollar for the Year lftOT; According to Fiaare f Department. . (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-(Bpcclal. )-E-ports of manufactures from the Vnlled States aggregated more than $750,000,000,000 In value In the calendar year 1307. Eleven months' figures supplied by the bureau of statistic of;1he" Department of Commerce and. Labor show exports of manufactures aggregating over $700,000,000. a monthly average during those eleven months of $Bl.n0C.X, thua justifying- the' statement that the December-figures' no. ,yH avail able, win i bring! fbt towil (of the year above Iho $7B0.O0O,Or,O.o60 lino. ' v'V This means that the. ,export of manu factures have kveragnd tnoro than "$2,000,000 a day during th entire year.' It was only beginning wit!' the' year 1S39 that tho ex ports of manufactures! reached as much aa l.X'),fl0i per day, basing the statement upon tho "average, nf the year, while prior to 1SS0 they had never reached as much as $50,000 a -day. . On ' taily three occasion during the last year did the value of nibmi fact urea exported fall below $(W.C00.000for a single month. In the month , of June they -exceeded $7O.OO0,0C. or as much for that single month as those of the entire year lfTTO and considerably more than In any twelve-months period prior to that year. The value of manufactures ex ported In 1907 will approximate $770,000,000, against rill.OCO.CCO in lfW. $149,000,000 In 1887, $144.orO.VO in 1R77, $50,000,000 In 1M7 and Hl.000,000 In 1867, the figures of these earlier periods being those of fiscal years. The share which manufactures form of the total exports. In the eleven months of 1907 for which statistics are available Is 41.7 per cent, which slightly exceeds the share which manufactures formed of the exports In any earlier year. Manufactures Imported In 1907 aggregated In .value about $650,000,000, against approxi mately $770,000,000 value of manufactures ex ported, thus Indicating that the exporta tion of manufactures now exceeds the im portation of manufactures by about $120, 000,000 per annum. Prior to the fiscal year 1S97 manufactures imported always ex ceeded In value, those exported. In 1?M0 manufactures Imported amounted to $307, 000,000 and those exported. $48,000,000; In 1870, manufactures Imported were $229,000,000 and those exported, $70,000,000; In 1880, Imports of manufactures were $307,000,000. and ex ports of manufactures $122,000,000; In 1890, Imports were $348,003,000 and exports $179, 000,000; In '1896, Imports were $328,000,000 and exports, $258,OO0,CCX). In 1897 . for the first time exports of manufactures exceeded im ports of manufactures, the figure for that year being, Imports $306,000,000, exports $311 ,000,000. From 1897 to 1807 manufactures exported have In every fiscal year ex ceeded In value those Imported, and in 1907 the exports of manufactures will, as above Indicated, exceed the Imports of manufactures by approximately $120,000,000. The gain of approximately $o0.C00.000 In value of manufactures exported during the year occur in nearly all of the Important article. The only manufacture showing any material reduction In exports during the year ts cotton cloths, which fell off about $1,000,000 In value. Of this reduction, about $14,000,000 occurred In the trade with China, due largely to. the unusually large supply of cottons sent to that country In 1906 and the early part of 1906. STATIC AGUSrit CALL FOR HELP Thinks He I Delng Held I n When Tramp Best Home Bread. RAPID CITY. S. D.. Jan. 12.-1 Special.) The sheriff of this county received a call for help last evening about 8 o'clock from the agent of the Milwaukee road at Murdo Mackenzie, who reported that tho agent at Imlay, a station fifty-two miles east of this city, was being held up by robbers. Deputy Sheriff Tom Hewitt at once, took the passenger train, leaving here at 8:30, and arrested two men at Cpnata, the next station cast of Imlay, about midnight. The men gave their names as BUI Jones and Nick Slmpkins, but If their story is truo they are the victims of circumstances In stead of being highwaymen. They state that they were making their way east on tho track and one of them knocked at the agent's door to see If ho could get some bread. Tito agent ordered him to hike quickly or get shot. The young mn,n was getting away aa fast as possible when the station agent tried to accelerate his speed by emptying his revolver In his direction. Both of the tramp fled In the darkness and were preparing to flip the passenger train at Conata when arrested by the sheriff. Bank. Robber In C'nstody, SIOUX FALLS, a D., Jan. IS. (Special.) The officer of the bank and tho authori ties of Miner county have every reason to believe that a man now under arrest at Coopertown, N. D., wa one of the five or six men who early Irt the fall held up and robbed the Canov State bank at Canova and succeeded In making their escape with mora than $6,000 in cash, which they se cured from tho wrecVed safe. M. F. Bev eiidge, cashier of the bank, and J. F. Duf fey, a Miner county deputy sheriff, have returned from Coopertown, wher they went for the -purpose of taking a look at the prisoner, for tho purpose ot striving 19 Identify him a one of the cracksmen who robbed tho Canova bank. While they were unable at the time definitely to Identify him, they are confident he had a hand in tho robbery of tho Canova bank, and they now are busily engaged In securing tho evidence necessary to connect him with tho robbery, preliminary to securing hi sur render by the North Dakota authorities, so he can bo brought back to South Da kota for trial on the charge of being Im plicated In tho robbery of tho Canova bank.

He made a run. and In the dark stepped Into a pile of poles, or something else, and turned his ankle. Oconto should either clean up the obstruction or turn on Its electric lights. Loup Valley Queen. It's Your Move The postmaster general has issued an order of notice that all rural mull carriers have the right-of-way on all country roads, and that carriages or con veyances must surrender that right-of-way to all carriers.

TREND IN NEBRASKA POLITICS (Continued from First' Page.) , ' : j; - " Is done, it-will make tho meeting at Omaha that much biggor and likewise bring about an early completion . of tho entire delega tion which Ib to be sent to Chicago to represent the Nebraska republicans there. It remains to be seen whother th demo crat, who have been talking' loudly for a primary vote for republicans,, will provide for a primary vote for themselves. Mr. Bryan' Commoner evidently doe not ex pect anything of the kind because It is Instructing its readers how to go about expressing themselves for Bryan by reso lutions of Instruction to be adopted at cau cuses and then at the county conventions and finally at the state conventions. This is all tho recognition of popular sover eignty that the Commoner demands and will probably be the program In Nebraska because, among other reasons, a primary vote would not bring out enough demo- crats to make a respectable showing and an endorsement by a few thousand voter in a state, to carry which will require 126.0T0 votes, would be too much of a travesty. The Dahlman democracy has turned a shrewd trick over which Its member are chuckling. For one of 'the delegates-t-large to Denver they endorsed Joseph Hay den and It goes without saying that If Mr. Hay den is made ono of "the big four." the other three will come from other part of th state. The Jacksonlans had planned to aak thia honor for C. J. Smyth, who wa on of tho original Bryn men In isuB, Dut omyin ia attorney for May den s, who are among his most lucrative client, to say nothing of the Hayden frequently furnishing the stopping place for Mr. Bryan and entertaining him in their Komes on hi visit to this city. As a conse quence of all this Mr. Smyth would find himself In a delicate position If he under took to unhorse the Dahlman club candi date. Of course, It may all yet bo ar ranged by commissioning Mr. Smyth a one of the district delegates, but for him to take second place and give first place to Mr. Hayden would bo equivalent to tho Jacksonlans yielding another bloodless vic tory to the Dahlmanltes. CORTELYOU RUMORS REVIVED (Continued from First Page.) spection. It wa expected that thi would bo followed by a protest of great propor tion from Chicago, and the gentlemen who hang around the hotels waiting for an opportunity to offer their service In "aid of legislation" prepared for a fat and prosperous winter. But the Beef trust seem to be Indifferent as to th outcome and there I s reason. If tho packer are charged with tho cost of Inspection they will certainly add that cost to the price of their products and as a greater pre caution they will see to it that th cattle grower and hog raisers bear their full share of th expense. The cattle men know this hotter than anyone else. It wa be cause of tho plea of these gentlemen that th house committee t on agriculture changed th Baverldge amendment In IKl. and now Secretary Wilson has como out on the side of the stoc k raiser. Th secre tary declares that th meat Inspection law is working to th entire satisfaction of the Agricultural department and of the people generally. He can e no good reason for tinkering with the act and expresses th wish that congress will permit matters to run along aa they are. But then, sorae wis atatesnven who desire notoriety mor than th public good may conclude that they need om advertising and they may fore a chang in th law which will result only In adding to th profit of th Beef trust.

These ten universities, says the New York Independent, represent a total attendance of over 4tW. The largest gains wero made, by Columbia, New York university, Illinois. Wisconsin, Michigan And Minne sota; that Is, two eastern and four west ern Institutions. At three of the prominent state univer sities of the middle west a decrease In the number of male students enrolled Is counterbalanced by an Increase In the num ber of women. Wisconsin has eighty-seven less men in 1907 than In 1904. but 138 more women. There Is a steady gain In the en rollment at Smith, Vassar and Bryn Mawr. The greatest number of degrees conferred In 1907 was by Hsrvard. with 1.187 to Its credit. Michigan, Columbia and Yalo fol low In the order named. The decrease In the number of American student at nil the German universities Is this year more marked than ever. Ac cording to the registration statistics of BerlA University, which has been the most popular of all the German unlversltle with Americans, there arc now only ninety-five students from this country sixty-eight men and twenly-seven Women enrolled.
