Considering Earlier Reports.
Secretary Brown of the Little
Rock board of trade has received
a letter from \Y. M. Hayes, as
sistant secretary of the bureau
of statistics at Washington, ask
ing an expression as to the opin
ion of local traders tm the proper
time for issuing the government
crop reports. 1 he bureau is en
deavoring to find out whether it
would be better to issue the re
ports at 11 o’clock in tire morn
ing. as at present, while the
American markets are open. 01
give them out after the close,
giving the European markets the
reports first the next day before
the American markets open.
Secretary Brown replied that
the local traders prefer the re
ports made while the markets are
in session, as making the reports
public at 4 o’clock, as proposed,
would give an opportunity for
foreign operators to take advan
tage of the market.

TIGERS A PUBLIC MENACE.
People and Stork Are Killed by Sav
age Beasts in Mexican
Territory
j Tigers, driven from their mountain
I lairs in the territory if Topic bv the
scarcity of food, contiti : * to ra\ ag the
haciendas of the vaii • s They ire be
•oming such a general danger, says the
Mexican Herald, that the mniiiejpal tit
'harities have offer'd a reward if $10
for every tiger's skin
For the past sev* ral months great
numbers of the : tn a I have swarmed
through the marshes if the low! intis
along the I'oast and m the valleys if
the territory of Tepie, having been
driven out of the stales if Sinai >a uni
Sonua by the floods ami the extra tn ■ I
void wea'her. The 1.image caused to
the haeiendados and th> linger in
i curred hv the presence if tie* animals
was such that many if them iffered
rewards lor the skins of *he animals
some time ago
The tigers, however, seem to iikp the
warm weather and the good food that
they are getting in Tepie and instead if
decreasing their numbers have greatly
increased within the last few weeks
Now the municipal authorities if the
! territory have also offered a rew ard for
i the skins of the animals
The tigers have become so bold that
! they will enter the houses in the plan
t.ations and help themselves to wlmf
I ever come* in their path Several
| deaths are reported in different, parts
| °f the territory in many sections of
I the state it is necessary to have armed
j guards stationed at night, to insure
j the safety of the other people in the
. settlements.
Live stock is suffering more than
| anything else. With the slight, pro
visions that are necessary for the shel
i fcr of the stock, it leaves them in most
| cases without any protection at ail
from the (leasts. Kven the presence
j of numerous guards around a bunch if
I cattle Is oftentimes Insufficient to keep
. tigers from getting away with an
anima. or two front along the edges
of the herd
Hunting for the animals has been
greatly stimulated by the offers of the
government and scores of hunters are
scouring the country for them The
number of the skins that have been
turned in thus far is large and it ts
hoped that it will not lie long before
; animals are driven hack to the
seclusion of the mountains.
WAKING IN THE WILDERNESS
How to Get Out of Bed WheU Uia
Thermometer Registers Forty
Below Zero
Ton are awakened in the hit ter dark
ness of the eariy morning by the
sound of the camp dogs moving am >ng
l the frozen pails of refuse You hear
■ their padding footsteps passing this
wav and that outside >i the tents and
the brushing of their bodies against
i the canvas walls. Then you hoar f.ha
i sound of chopping wood where some
1 one is at work in the starlight, says
the Boston Globe. One of the men
stirs and rises in the darkness The
tent is bitter cold, with everything
frozen as hard as iron You hear the
man fumbling around in the darkness
for the matches, and presently ha
strikes one and lights a candle
Presently h« begins chopping the
wood for the stove, and his big, round
3hadow moves uncouthly and gro
tesquely about the walls as the flame
of the candle wavers in the draught
of cold air. He makes a tire, and in
a moment the flame is roaring up the
stovepipe, which gradually becomes a
dull red with the gushing heat. He
stands with his hack to the stove and
presently the other man rises and
! joins him.
Then you yourself move reluctantly
in your warm swaddling of furs, amt
wilh soma effort crawl out into the
bitter cold and joint the others around
; the stove. None of yon speak, but
each absorbs the scanty heat In
silence. Ky atm by, warmed to som»
return of life, you peep out of the
tent; the skv is like black crystal, the
stars shining with incredible eft'ul
genes. From the stovepipe )f the
other tents rockets of flame are gush
ing up into the air; showers of sparks
rise up into the night high overhead
—hover, waver, and then sink dwind
ling upon the tent and the surround
ing snow
You look at the thermometer hang
ing against a tree and see by the ligli*
if a match that it is 4b degrees below
<;-ro Ik; •time the smell of cook
ing is filling the silent frozen spaces
of the darkness and you reenter the
l tent to hug again the warmth of the
i stove, with a huge appetite for the
rude breakfast of melted grease and
gillettes.
Explosions on Old Battle-Fields
The forests in the mountains known
is Loudon Heights, opposite Harper’s
Kerry, took fire recently and burned
with great intensity After some time
a series of explosions were heard
which startled the inhabitants, and the
: concussion was so great that it. broke
windows ia some houses in Harper's
Ferry, across the Shenandoah. The ex
plosions were caused by the bursting
of shells which had been thrown on
the heights at the time when Gen
Mills surrendered to Stonewall Jack
son in 1802. These had failed to ex
plode when they were fired, and had
remained there for more than 40 years

Do You Know What that Means?
Not only the Pacific Northwest, revolving about
a wonderfully unique and bizarre exposition, with a
trip to California on the side, but a stop-over in
Colorado en route. All these noted sections of the
country, which every good American fully intends
to visit some time, can be taken in this year at the
one low rate announced for the Exposition.
