T have oftnn thought of all the old b
more than .six mill. ina dollars, making a
total to China and lloimkoim of over
tweney millions, or mory than three
times that of a decad • • irlter. That the
bulk of the exports to Hongkong may
properly be destin-d for consumpt on In
consumption In China is shown by the
fnet that the official reports of the im
ports Into China show that over 41 per
cent, of the impor:* are from the port
of llonckong. The 1W> exportscto Chins
and Hongkong conib.n d show a gain of
nearly, or quite 25 per c«-nt. over those
of last yvar. while the total exports from
the I'nit«d tSates for tno fiscal year 1WK
will be little If not In excess of 'huso of
last year, thus showing a mor.> rapid
growth in our exports to th's particular
part of the world than elsewhere.

"You have saved my life, snatched
me from the briDk of the grave almost,
and I wish to thank 3*ou. About eigh-
teen mouths ago I was a total wreck,
physically. I had beeu troubled with
leucorrhceafor time, but had piven
hardly any attention to the trouble.
"At last inflammation of the womb
and ovaries resulted and then I suf-
fered agonies, had to give up mv pri>-
fession (musician and piano player),
was confined to my bed and life became
a terrible cross. My husband sum-
moned the best physicians, but their
benefit was but temporary at best. I
believe I should have contracted the
morphine habit under their care, if my
common sense had not intercened.
44 One day my husband noticed the ad-
vertisement of your remedies and im-
mediately bought me a full trial. Soon
the pain in my ovaries was gone. I am
now well, strong and robust, walk,
ride a wheel, and feel like a girl in her
teens. I would not be without Lydia
E. Pinkhatn's Vegetable Compound; it
is like water of life to me. I aia very
gratefully and sincerely your well-
wisher, and I heartily recommend your
remedies. I hope some p<x>r creature
may be helped to health by reading my j
story."—Mrs. Col. E. P. lUC'ILUUJSOJI, I

Omaha, June &—A special to the Bee
frem Cheyenne, Wyi , says:
The sheriff s potse Whioh left Casper
yesterday in pursuit of tare, of Un-
ion Pa^-tic train robbers overtook them
v.hen about 1h.1t/ miles out and were
given a t verc back in the light which
i'i -v. ■ d, the robbers shooting two of
tiuir horses and stampeding two more.
'Ihe posse consisted of liaztu of Con-
\ ; e county, Hoistand of Natrona coun-
ty. Lee Devne and seven others. They
ft iiowed the trail of the robbers almost
due north und over nigli s.uidy, rollng
prairie-. The bandits had eaten lunch at
'1 1 Pt, iuli«.. from aspar where, w th
li l eiarses, they could see the country
bfhlnd them for ten miles and probably
-aw t!.,r pursuers approaching. Tr.ey
h i bt n following high ridges but af-
: r leaving Tea Pot rocks struck down a
draw to th« 'head of Tea Pot creek and
followed along the creek bottom for about
v x miles. At Mi© high oliff of rock the ban
d'.ts tun>:d abruptly to the lefit and rode
Into t'he rocks. They wore seen by the
posse and goliowcd closely one man trail-
lng th -m and the others rode to the side.
Within 'J0<i yard* "f tite rock Charles Hal-
.!>y and E. T. Pay bin were In the lead.
Suddenly two shots rang out and Pay-
tor.'s 'horse wcirt down with a bullet
through it.? heart. The whole posse dis-
mounted amd ran In among t'he rocks un-
der cover. In a lew minute*? other shots
were fired by the robbers bin orvly two
rfhots were fired in return as they were
compie !■ iv hidden In the tocks and could
not be - en. A few minutes later o. E.
Long of the posse who had been some dis-
tance behind came up and the roboers
put a bullet through "his hor.-*e lengthwise
and rained bullets around him like hall.
Two more hor-es were stampeded down a
draw o t'he east and the posse was con-
siderably demoralized.
The robbers took advantage of this to
beat a'hasty retreat nd s it ws too drk
t.. follow them the pursuit ceased tTil this
morning when fhe trail was taken up
at the bend of Dugout creek forty miles
nort'h of Caspar. Two of the posi ts re-
turn1 d to Caspar f r relrnforcements were
mounted on good houres and started out
to take the trail:
General Manager Dickinson. Supt. Har-
ris. Mr. Buckingham of the Union Pacific
Supt. Daniels and Maager Gentsch of the
Pacific expr ss, and special ag.-nt Vis-
