Feigns Unconsciousness, and Flees
' *- When Deceived Guard Sleeps.
'Omaha, Neb., April 27.?Bernard
Smyth, the 17-year-old son of C. J.
liarSmyth, a prominent lawyer of Oma~
ha, last night was kidnapped and
held for ransom. After being in the
power of his oaptors five hours he
f made his escape and returned to his
home. Within the last two weeks the
boy's father has received five letters
II 7$!$ threatening death to the son if the
father did not place $2,500 in a designated
spot.
As Bernard was returning home
shortly after 6 o'clock last night he
fwas attacked by a man. who held
' chloroform to his nostrils. When he
returned to consciousness his hands
were tied behind his back and he
was in a shack on the outskirts of
* the city. A guard was in the room.
The boy feigned unconsciousness,
and the guard went to sleep in his
chair. The boy then escaped from
the house and returned home. C. J.
Smyth, the father, was formerly attorney
general of Nebraska.
Death Caused by Poison.
Hampton, April 26.?After meeting
several times, the coroner's jury,
summoned last September to hold an
inquest over the body of Walker
Winn, of Fechtig, agreed yesterday
on the verdict that the deceased came
to his death by being poisoned by
?ifr " nlrnmrn narfiot
uuauv n u wavm*
Winn, a young white man, died
very suddenly last September. The
T % coroner's jury, summoned to inquire
into the cause of his death, was unable
to reach a verdict, and the remains
were buried. They were disinterred
after a time, and a chemical
analysis made of the contents of the
stomach. The chemist found 12
milligrammes of chloride of mercury,
a sufficient quantity to cause death.
He was unable to say whether it was
administered in the form of chloride
of mercury or bichloride of mercury.
In view of the report of the chemist,
the coroner's jury reached the verdict
that Winn's death was due to
poison.
A copy of the testimony taken at
the inquest has been sent to the solicitor
of the circuit and further developments
are expected in the case.

Atlanta, April 27.?Throwing cayenne
pepper into her eyes and choking
her into silence, an unknown negro
dragged Mrs. Lee Daniel of 31
Gilmer street, into her house by the
hair and had almost choked her into
insensibility when she made one
more desperate and successful effort
to drag his fingers from her neck
and screamed. The scream frightened
the assailant and he fled just before
neighbors came rushing into the
house.
The woman is almost prostrated.
A general alarm was sent in and the
dogs have been put on tne trail, rue
attempted assault occurred right in
the city of Atlanta, in a thickly populated
neighborhood. Aside from being
severely choked and terribly
frightened, Mrs. Daniel was not hurt.
Jackson's Defence
e
"But don't judge a man by appearances,"
said Mayor G. S. Marshall, at
a banquet in Columbus.
"Jackson Wentworth, after an absence
of 30 years, returned to the
home of his youth. Jackson had a
slight affection of the skin which
made his nose very red. Hence, when
he called at the parsonage thai old
minister remarked:
" 'Jackson, Jackson, my man, I'm
afraid you've become a hard drinker.'
" 'Don't judge by appearances, Dr.
Steenthly,' said Jackson Wentworth'.
'I hardly average two glasses of beer
a week.'
" 'Well, then,' said the minister, in
a soothing voice, 'I guess your face,
Jackson, is like my gas meter. It reg
isters more than it consumes.' "?

ELY A PRIZE
HIS MONEY TALKED.
And the Immigrant Agents Understood
the Language.
Frederick Schneider, who arrived
in New York on Monday from Russia
with a wife and 14 of his 15 living
children, could not answer in English
when asked if he had money enough
to provide for his army of Schneiders,
but he replied in "American"
with an eloquence that staggered the
immigration officials.
From various pockets he brought
forth rolls of billff, one after another,
and tossed them upon the
desk at Ellis Island, while officials
and immigrants pressed around to
hear the money talk. In all he produced
$26,500.
Through an interpreter, Schneider
explained that his fortune came from
the sale of a big farm near Odessa,
and that he was on his way to Glen
Ullen, N. D., whither his eldest son,
Christian, had preceded him.
Hundred Thousand Dollars Asked.
A special from Chicago says: Authorities
of the University of Chicago,
who are made defendants in a
$100,000 suit for damages brought
by Miss Esther Mercy, recently a
student of the institution, says they
are not worried about the issue of the
case if it ever comes to trial.
Miss Mercy, who is a comely woman,
named as defendant Dr. Harry
Pratt Judson, the president; Miss
Marion Talbot, dean of women;
Mrs. Florence Von Masson John and
Miss Eva Robinson, both university
women.
Miss Mercy had been boarding at
the house of Mrs. jahn. One night
when she had gone out with a young
man she says some one took valuable
aigrettes from her three hundred
dollar hat. Sh& declared she did not
accuse Mrs. Jahn of taking her ornaments,
but Mrs. Jahn so interpreted
Miss Mercy's remarks. At any rate
the university took up the cudgel for
Mrs. Jahn and decided to part company
with Miss Mercy.

tried to remonstrate with
Chestnut', but the talking continued,

) R K I N G FOR
AMERICANS LIKE BANANAS.
? *
Four Thousand Million of This Fruit
Imported in U. S. Last Year.
Four thousand million bananas
were imported into the United States
in the calendar year 1910. The bana
na habit is a growing one in the United
States. In the early eighties the
value of bananas imported, according
to the figures of the Bureau of Statistics
of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, ranged between one and
two million dollars per annum; by
1890 the value had increased to 4%
million dollars, in the fiscal year of
1900 to nearly 6 million dollars and
in the calendar year 1910, to practically
12% million dollars. The
rapid growth in this class of importation
led the bureau of statistics a
few years ago to call upon collectors
of customs for the quantity aq well
as the value imported and the figures
of quantities, beginning with the year
1908, showed for that year 35% million
bunches; in 1909, 39% million;
and in 1910, a little over 40 million
bunches were imported. Assuming
that these average 100 bananas to
the bunch, a figure which the importers
state to be a conservative estimate
the total number imported in
1910 would aggregate approximately
4,000 million bananas.
The value of the bananas imported
in the last decade aggregates in
round terms 100 million dollars. In
| the calendar year 1901 the total
value of bananas imported was 6%
million dollars; in 1905, 9% million;
in 1907, 11% million; and in 1910
12% million. These figures of the
values of bananas imported are the
valuation at wholesale prices in the
countries from which exported to the
United Staes and the average price
per bunch was 31 cents, as will be
readily seen by dividing the 40,192,958
bunshes imported in 1910 int?
the stated value of $12,433,334. How
much money is paid by consumers in
the United States for bananas cannot
be estimated with accuracy, though
the cost of freight and the profits of
importers, wholesales and retailers
must add very materially to the. 12%
million dollars paid for them in the
countries of production.
Central America and the .West
Indies are the chief sources of supply
of the bananas imported into the
United States. Of the 40 million
bunches imported in the calendar
year 1910, 21 million were from
Central America; 13% million from
British West Indies; 2 % million from

A RESTLESS SOUL RELIEVED.
Woman Smugger in Washington City
Sends Snm to Conscience Fond.
A woman smuggle#, consciencestricken,
sent to Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh on Thursday a 1 y|ten-dollar
bill, with the suggestion
that the treasury invite coniriDuuoua
of that sort and relieve many a Test- '
less soul of a burden.
The woman signed herself "L. D," |
wrote from Baltimore, saying she had
smuggled some dutiable goods when
her conscience was not so well edu- v
cated. "You can help many 'born * v
smugglers' to atone for misdeeds if . J
you will show them how to refund/' 'M
she wrote.

on the treasurer's books, f ;;V
began in 1811, now totals $420,000.

largest importer of bananas. The
United Kingdom is the next largest
importer, her imports of this article
in the calendar year 1909 being 634
million bunches, as against 3936:
million bunches imported into the
United States in the same year. 3S
Practically the entire banana sup- '4
ply of the United States come from
abroad. Efforts have been made frond ,J
time to time to develop the banana
industry in the extreme South and in
California, but the domestic production
is inconsiderable when compared
with the importation. The banana, .
while probably a native of India, is
nbw grown in practically all tropical
countries and among a considerable
part of the human race ranks as high
as do cereal grains among the people
of the temperate zones and it is said
to produce more food upon a given
area than wheat. The consumption
nf bananas in temperate zone coun
tries has increased enormously in re- ^
cent years. They are used chiefly in ^
the natural state, but in small quantities
in the form of banana flour 4
made from ripe fruit. Small quanti- -T
ties of this flour are imported into
the United States, but in such inconsiderable
amounts that the bureau of y
statistics has not up to this time
found it advisable to separately
enumerate it among other articles
imported. II
