FEDERAL BUREAU MAKES REPORT
Exports Daring? Tea Months of Fiscal

WASHINGTON. June 11. International
commerce, according to statistics procured
by the Department lot Commerce and
Labor, showed a marked Improvement In
all the principal countrlea of the world
for the year ending In April, 1910.
A report of the bureau Juat issued atatea:
"International trade, an la well known.,
fell off In the period following the financial
depression of 1S07-S and, at a consequence,
the Import and export figures of nearly all
countrlea were smaller In 190 than In the
Immediately preceding year. The Increase
hown by the flgurea or tne current year
ia therefore In most cases more distinctly
a return to normal conditions than an
actual advance over those which exlstel
prior to the financial depression of 1907-8.
"In many cases, however, the flgurea of
the current year are materially larger than
ever before, and It Is probable the total
i of International trade In the calendar year
1910 will surpass that of any other former
year."
In the United States exports during the
ten months of the current fiscal year
averaged $146,800,000 per month, against
$140,300,000 per month last year and $161,
000,000 per month two years ago. Imports
tor the same period averaged $131,800,000
per month, as against $107,100,000 last year;
$101,800,000 two years ago, and $119,600,000
three years ago.
Crude Imports Heavy,
Tha figure experts of the government an
nounced that the manufacturers' material.
Including crude and partly manufactured
Imports, formed 65.39 per cent of the total
Imports duf.ng the nine months under the
Payne law. Thla class formed 36.75 per cent
of the free Imports and 18.64 per cent of the
dutiable Imports. Aa compared with the
corresponding period of 1909, the percentage
which manufacturers' materials formed of
the total Imports showed an Increase of 7.34
per cent, and as compared wrth the nine
year average Immediately preceding 1910,
there was an Increase of 9.77 'per cent.
The value of the manufacturers' materials
was announced to have been $667,904,362
under tne Payne bill law, aa compared
with $537,523,066,' the total .mount' of all
other Imports, most manufactures and food
stuffs. The Amount of free manufacturers' ma
terials was $443,181,564, aa compared with
$24.722,808 dutiable. The statisticians com
pared these amounts with a similar classi
fication of manufacturers' materials in the
corresponding period of 1909, and an aver
age obtained from consideration of auoh
Imports during the years 1900-09, inclusive.
This comparison showed that there had
been an increase under the Payne law In
free manufacturers' materials of 37.56 per
cent, aa compared with the nine-year av
erage. The dutiable manufacturers' ma
terials showed an increase under the Payne
law of 20.87 per cent, as compared with 1909,
nd 47.87 aa compared with the nine-year
Average,
Free aad Dutiable Goods.
A similar comparison was worked out In
regard to all imports, other than, manufac-
turesr materials, which footed up $537,871,
667. In this class the free Imports amounted
to $158,348,691, aa compared with $379,623,066
dutiable. Thus the free division showed an
increaee of 13.78 per cent, as compared with
1909, and an increase of 30.37 per cent, as
compared with the nine-year average. The
dutiable division showed an Increaee of 12.46
per cent, as compared with 1909, and 25.01 aa
compared with the nine-year average.
The quantity of freight moved on the
great lakes from August 1, 1909, to the
close of navigation (month of December)
was 48,986,374 net tons agalnat 38,750,300 net
tons for the corresponding period of 1908,
and 46,237,207 net tons in the like period
of 1907.
Returns from thirty-four car. service as
oclatlona and demurrage bureaua shows
that In the period of August 1, 1909, to
March Id, 1910, 23,959,173 freight cars were
handled against 20,102,942 cars in the same
period of 1908-,- and 19,968,367 cars In the
like period of 1907-8.
Returns from nine leading railroads in
the great coal producing sections of the
country show movements of bituminous
coal from August 1, 1909, to March 31, 1910,
amounting to 88,247,014 tors, against 73,-
697,169 tons in the same period, 1908-9, and
78,439,227 tons in the like period of 1907-8; of
coke 21,354,043 tons In 1900-10 agatnBt 13,

Leaders' Fight
Not for People,
Say Dakotans
Movement ' Started at Mitchell to
Sidetrack All Strife Amon? '
Republicans of State.
MITCHELL. S. D., June 11. (Special Tele-
egram.) Since the primary election and
Governor Vessey came so near being de
feated the stalwarts and progressive of
this city have started a movement looking
to the solidarity of the republican party
and to bring about a reconciliation for .ill
time to come. The near election of Egun
has brought them to the point of unity.
The leaders of the stalwarts and pro
gressives got together this afternoon and
talked over the situation, with the result
that a muss meeting will be held in the
city Saturday night, to be presided over
by George A. Johnson, and speakers from
both factions will address the meeting. It
is the Intention to curry the results of this
meeting over the state for the purpose of
harmonizing all counties.
The men of the state will be memorialised
to stop the fight and will adopt resolutions
conveying the Idea that the republican
voters are through with fighting In the
party and that it Is only the leaders who
are keeping up the fight.

gram.) Up to this evening twenty-three
counties have sent in unofficial returns to
the secretary of state. In the counties re

practically equally divided, nothing defi
nite ran be said In regard to others than
governor and congressman. By tomorrow
night practically all the counties should
make unofficial returns. The comple vote
of Stanley county gives Vcssey 894; Elrod,

RAILROAD AGREEMENT SOON
Settlement by Conferees Expected
Early Next Week.
MANN OF ILLINOIS HAS HOPE
Pilot of Measure Believes Provision
Will Go Through Itraardlng
Phrsleat Valuation of
yateins.
WASHINGTON, June 11. Conferees on
the administration i-nllrnnit tilll sp(Mlrf1
'the aid of Attorney General Wlck-
ersham yesterday, and it was announced
tonight that there Is a porslblllty of a
final agreement being reached Monday,
or within a day or two, following. The
prediction was made by both Senators El
kins and Aldrlch, and even Representative
Mann of Illinois admitted that substantial
prtgress had been made. No member of
the conference committee would discuss the
details of today's accomplishments.
It was learned, however, that a tenta
tive agreement was reached as to the long
and short haul provision, which will con
sist practically of all the senate amend
ments on the subject. The stocks and bonds
provisions Is to be eliminated because of
the assertion by the senate conferees that
they could not obtain the addition of a
conference report containing any provision
for federal regulation of the securities of
corporations, because of the opposition of
democrats.
The ascertainment of the physical valu
ation of railroads, it is asserted, will not
be provided for In the . conference bill.
Senator Aldrlch told Mr. Mann that the
senate had voted four times to reject that
feature, and that it was folly to consume
time in discussing It. During the day Mr.
Mann submitted a substitute for the house
amendment on this subject, but the senate
conference characterized it as a "make
ahlft," which meant nothing and which, If
adopted, would subject the conference com
mittee to general condemnation by sup
porters of legislation looking to an investi
gation of the value of railroad property.
Mann Still Hopeful.
Mr.' Mann has not entirely abandoned
hope of compelling the acceptance of some
provisions on this subject. Several times
he referred to the fact that the house had
adopted the physical valuation amendment
by a vote of nearly two to one. President
Taft, according to present Indications, will
win on only one of the three suggestions
which he made to the conferees. He de
sired that the house amendments, con
cerning stocks and bonds, be retained; that
the time allotted by the senate bill to the
Interstate Commerce commission for the
investigation of increases of railroad rates
be reduced from ten to six months and
that the section regarding rate Increases
be made effective at once instead of after
sixty days as provided by both bills.
Thesenate conferees have told the presi
dent they could not consent to the stocks
and bonds feature because of their agree
ment with democrats. The insistence upon
the suspension of increases In rates for
ten months In the event that period was
required by the Interstate Commerce com
mission to pass upon their reasonableness
is a concession to "Insurgent" republican
senators.
Power of Commission.
I
There are a large number of provisions
In the house bill which are not in the
senate measure in any form. This is true,
particularly of section seven of the house
bill, which would provide for an enlarge
ment of the power ht the commission over
railroad regulations and practices. This
section proposes to amend section one of
the existing Interstate commerce act. vIt
was written by Mr. Mann and he acknowl
edged pride of authorship. A large part of
this long section was accepted by the sen
ate conferees.
These proposed changes In existing law
would require ra'lroads to provide facili
ties for operating through routes and to
exchange, Interchange and return cars used
therein. The railroads would be compelled
to establish and observe reasonable classi
fications of property for transportation,
regulations affecting rates, tariffs and the
Issuance In the form of tickets, receipts
and bills of lading as well as many other
regulations affecting marking, packing and
delivering property, and the carrying of
personal, sample and excess baggage.
Several amendments adopted by the sen
ate as the result of demands made by In
surgent republicans will be retained. These
Include the amendment placing upon the
railroads the burden of proving the reason
ableness of advances in rates. On th other
hand, It is understood that the Paynter
amendment, requiring that both the old
and new rates must be shown by the bills
of lading and tha shipper reimbursed for
the amount of the Increases In the event
It was held to be unjust would be dropped
out Of the bill. .
Senator Foster, the minority member of
the senate conference committee, resigned
today and Senator Newlands was appointed
to succeed him. The democratic members
of the committee have not been admitted
to any of tho councils, and will not be un
til a complete agreement has been reached
by the republicans.

Shout of Fire
Creates Panic at
Picture Show
Terrifying Cry Results in Stampede
in Which Several Are Slightly
Injured.
Giving a terrifying shout of "Fire" during
a moving picture exhibition at Workman
Temple, South Omaha, last night, a man,
unidentified at present, created a wild panic
and in the rush for exits several persons
were bruised and slightly Injured.
The auditorium of the moving picture the
ater was In total darkness at the time while
the views were being thrown upon the
screen, and in the stampede several per
sons were tramp, ed upon or crushed against
the seats. During the panic the man who
uttered the cry of terror disappeared and
has not been apprehended. It Is thought by
the police that he Is a miscreant and Insti
gated the stampede purely from mischiev
ous motives.
During the excltment a fire alarm was
turned in and company No. 3 answered the
call. Near Twenty-fifth and M streets one
of the big horses stumbled and fell, receiv
ing injuries from which it died within a few
moments.
INTERURBAN PLANS GET JOLT
Mayor of Fremont Vetoes Franchise
Ordinance for Nebraska Trans
portation Company.
FREMONT, Neb., June 11. (Special.)
Mayor Burrell vetoed the ordinance giving
the Nebraska Transportation company a
franchise to construct Us road through the
city of Fremont, and the attempt to pass
the ordinance over his vetoe was defeated
by a vote of 6 to 3. The mayor objected
to the ordinance for the reason that It con
tained no provision for any special tax. The
vetoed ordinance was substantially the
same as the one parsed two months ago,
with trie section for a special tax after the
year 1922 stricken out. Representatives of
the company were much surprised at the
action of the council and the refusal to
grant the franchise may result In the com
plete abandonment of its plans.
The council also provided for a $2,000 mu
nicipal highway fund, which will probably
be used In improvement on the road lead
ing to thj city from the south, cutting
down the grade on the hills across the
river.

WHAT I WENT THROUGH AS A DRUNKARD'S WIFE
DRINK HABIT CURED IN THREE DAYS
Behind the drawn curtnlns and closed
doors of many a home of wealth, luxury
and comfort there lurks abiding grief.
Loved ones who are in the clutch of the
awful and terrible curse of the drink habit
are slipping each day farther and farther
awny from solid ground. "WHAT I
WENT THROUGH A3 A DRUNKARD'S
WIFE," Is a recital of one woman's ex
perience which has startled and shocked
the millions of readers of the June num
ber of the Ladles Home Journal and has
aroused Interest In this blighting curse to
humanity that has never l.een equalled by
any similar article in the past.
It is a story which outlines and mirrors
days and nights of sorrow, suffering and
distress in many a home and In fond
hearts which can only be realized and ap
preciated to its full extent in the homes
where the terrible drink habit exists, but
It has aroused the Interest of millions of
others.
This wife and mother tells of her har
rowing and awful experiences and of her
sorry fate. How he to whom she had
plighted her woman's vows and woman's
love, lived and died a victim of the drink
habit and was laid away by those who
went dry-eyed to his early and untimely
grave; how the awful curse of the ap
petite and habit decended to the son who
fell Into Its bondage, which sent him stag
gering home night after night to sorrowing
mother and sisters. She tells how she was
prompted to "PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND
HIM" and the wonderful, and to her, happy
results. There is a chance today for every
reader of this paper to "put their 'arms
around" some loved victim of the drink
habit and help to save him or her instead
of giving up hope of their redemption.
The Neal Three Day Drink Habit Cure
is a Godsend to those who want to quickly
rid themselves of their loved ones of a
habit that will ultimately wreck health.
mind and fortune. Opened only six months
ago in the splendid large and elegantly
furnished Harbach residence property .at
the corner of Fifth and Center streets In
Des Moines, la., and later In the large and
comfortable residence at 1502 South Tenth
Street in this city, the Neal Company,
which is today a national Institution with
Institutes already located and others open
ing in practically every state in the union
and which has In that short time perfectly
cured and discharged upwards of 1,000
patients-CURED IN THREE DAYS'
TIME, has virtually proved "the uplifting
arms" which has already brought Joy to
thousands of leading and prominent busi
ness and professional men and their
families In this city and state and else
where throughout the country. In the
words of that grand representative of
Catholicism of national prominence. Rev.
J. I F. Nugent of Des Moines, la., "It is
the marvel of the world and the greatest
thing since Lazarus was raised from the

common In these days of strenuous ac
tivity among the highest classes, and our
best and most prominent business and pro
fessional men, many of whom are 'dally
"burning the candle at both ends" by re
sorting to alcoholic stimulants in order to
meet the demands made upon their over
taxed minds and brains. To such men, the
Neal Cure Is doubly and truly a Godsend,
because of the fact that the cure can be
administered in the PRIVACY OF THEIR

and leading men of thla city and state; In
fact by everyone who has investigated or
has personal knowledge of the wonderful
results accomplished. Already the large
and commodlouB building In which it was
established in Des Moines, Ia., has been
found entirely insufficient for the accom
modation of the dally Increasing patients,
and recently the large fourteen-room resi
dence next door to the main Institute has
been fitted up as a Neal Institute annex,
and today the problem with Senator Bruce
Is how to provide accommodations for pa
tients. Prompted by this and with a view
of placing the cure within the convenient
reach of all the afflicted In his native and
home state of Iowa, he last month estab
lished and opened large, elegantly fur
nished and commodious Neal Institutes at
Davenport and Sioux City, Ia., which are
today taxed to their full capacity. We
understand that the Davenport Institute
alone had twenty-three patients during the
first three weeks after Its opening. There
is no man in Iowa better known than Sen
ator Bruce, who is president of the com
pany, and he authorizes the public state
ment that if any of his fellow citizens in
Iowa, either high or low, take the treat
ment at any of the Iowa institutes, or in
their own homes or elsewhere, that he will
PERSONALLY" GUARANTEE THAT EV
ERY DOLLAR PAID BY SUCH PERSON
SHALL BE REFUNDED TO HIM IF
THEY NOTIFY HIM AT HIS HOME OF
THEIR DISSATISFACTION IN ANY RE
SPECT AT ANY TIME WITHIN THIRTY
DAYS AFTER THE TREATMENT IS
FINISHED."

Tho Neal Institute In this city, and ns we
understand, wherever located, are quiet,
homelike places wrth separate rooms lor
patients, comfortably and elegantly fur
nished and the strictest privacy Is assured
by giving each patient a private room
where his meals are served, thus making
a three-days' stay at one of the Institutes
simply a quiet restful vacation for thrua
days.
Alchollsm has generally been considered
as a disease, but as a result of years of
Investigation and experiment, Dr. Neal has
demonstrated that it Is a poison ipioduce.l
or stored up In the system as the result
of excessive Indulgence In alcoholic Itquora
and that this creates a habit and gnawing
within. In proportion to the amount of the
poison which the unfortunate man Is unable
within hlmsplf to1 overcome, and as a result
nothing can satisfy him but one more drink
to commence the day with, and that o:i'i
more calls for a dozen or more and this
Is Increased as the days and months of
the man's life Increases until the man's
life Is taken as the result of the outraged
violation of nature's laws and nature's Ood.
The so-called secret of tho Neal treat
ment Is In the fact that Dr. Neal has dis
covered a harmless .'emcdy which neutral
Ires and eradicates every trace of alooho.le
poison from the system, supplies the n?rvo
centers with that vital force which re
builds the whole nervous system, places the
digestive organs In proper shape, and at
the end of three days the drinking man
goes out strengthened and Invigorated In
both mind and body with a clear brain,
bright eyes, elastic step, and he returns to
his family and his business with no crav
ing or desire for drink; with the absolute
assurance that even his closest friends
will not know of the fact that ho has
taken the Cure, but they are sure to nctd
the wonderful and remarkable change In
his mental and physical appearance and
condition.
Now that such a wonderful, speedy an1
effective treatment and cure for this awful
habit has been discovered, demonstrated
and proved by results, to be all that la
claimed for it, the suffering wife, the fond .
mother, the Innocent and helpless children,
the social and the business world will be .
loth to extend that leniency to the drinking
man that they have heretofore done and
will feel that there is no longer any excuse
for his continuing the awful habit, which
is not only a curse to himself, but a
nulFance, and the cause of so much suf
fering to others.
TAKE OUR ADVICE and if you are
so sorely afflicted, or It you have any
dear ones, relative, friend or acquaintance
who is, do not let another day go by with
out calling upon, 'phoning, writing or wlr-
lng the nearest and most convenient NEAL ,
INSTITUTE to your place, at either Daven '
port, Des Moines or Bloux City, or OMAHA,'
NEBRASKA, or, If you desire, address a
personal, confidential letter to Honorable
Jas. E. Bruce, Atlantic, Iowa, and rest as
sured that by so doing you can absolutely
rely upon getting a square deal and tho
same honorable treatment in all respects ,
as you would get or expect to get from,
your own banker, minister or lawyer at
home.
