Before sending abroad for wagons,

better to call at the Centralia Wagon
Works and see if you cannot do as
we'll with Mr.. Moore. He turns out
some Of the finest rigs driven in this
city and Centralia. You can examine
all the raw materials that go to make
up your order when purchasing from
him but how is it when purchasing
from travelling agents You are
told beautiful story and buy on the
strength of handsome pictures. The
wood may be good but usually it is
of inferior grades we'll painted. The
home manufacturer spends his money
at home among all classes while the
stranger spends it abroad. On close
examination it will be found that the
difference is in favor of home manu-
facturers. Mr.. Moore has recently
sold Mr. G. A Corriveau and Daniel
Rein each a fine two seated buggy,
beside numerous farm wagons sold to
farmers. A handsome sulky has just

INFERIOR SEEDS.
Complaints Of the Quality of Those Fur
nished by the Agricultural Department..
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Complaints Of the Quality of Those Fur
nished by the Agricultural Department..
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. A.-Complaints are being
received from the country concerning the quality
of seeds furnished the people by the Agricul-
tural Department. Experts who have examined
the seeds sent out by congressman and senators,
and coming from the Agricultural De-
partment say they in most instances
are worthless. 1t is stated by gentleman
who has been connected with that department.
that the seeds are nearly all old Stock that they
are bought of wholesale dealers at nominal
price selected from stocks three or four years
old often. Some times fresh seeds are procured
and mixed with the old ones, but occasionally
large lots of the old stock are sent out and not
a sprout springs from them.
This is true almost wholly Of garden seeds.
The flower and field seeds average better. Only
complaint can be made in the matter. No one
can be reprehended for the poor quality of
the seeds. When the facts are related at
the Department the informer is re-
minded that the quality of seeds purchased
is governed altogether by the amount of money
furnished for their purchase The demand for
the seeds is constantly increasing while the ap-
preparations are made more stintingly. Under
the plans of Mr.. Randall there would not be pro-
vision made for even an inferior grade of seeds.
When the practice of supplying seeds to the
people through the Agricultural Department
was first begun, it was contemplated that the
varieties of cereals, etc., grown in this country
should be improved and enlarged by the intro
duction, free of cost, of rare specimens of for
eign growth. 1t appears that the object has
been degraded, and that now the most inferior
varieties are furnished.

THE BATTLE OF SHILOH.

SALT LAKE. U. T.. Jan. pam Associated
Press correspondent had an interview with Gen.
A. Med. McCook, now in command of Fort
Douglass, to-day, in relation to General Grants
structures on him in his magazine article on the
battle of Shiloh. Gen. McCook says that in
few days he will, through the proper channels
call attention to some facts regarding the battle
that what General Grant says about
him tMcCook) in the matter is abso-
lutely without foundation in fact.
He says General Grant has persstently pursued
HIM for twenty-five years: that Grant never saw
him at the head of his division as described; that
the attack of the rebels at Pittsburg Landing
was complete surprise to General Grant. and
he refers 81 this point to the published diary of

that McCook's, Nelson's and Crlttenden's divis-
ions did decisive part of it at the very time
Grant talks so confidently of being able
to handle the rebels with his own forces. After
the fighting was all over, he says General Grant
came to him at the head of his line. McCook
said the enemy ought to be pursued, and Grant
said he intended to pursue them McCook then

The financial difficulties of OK, President Grant
since the failure Of Grant 6 Ward, and his re-
fusal to accept the generous offer made by Wms
H. Vanderbilt or to allow his friends to aid him
in discharging his debt to Mr.. Vanderbilt, have
aroused public curiosity about the $3.50, 600
placed in trust for his benefit a few years ago.
1t has been generally understood thai
the fund was invested in some OF
the sectional bonds of the Wabash
railway, and was guaranteed by the late eE-
Governor Morgan. The Commercial ADVERTISER
to day printed an interview with John L. Terry,
one of the executors of the Morgan estate, in re-
gard to the investment.
1.-THE fund is as safe as it ever was" said he,
''The fact that it pays interest is sufficient To
prove that it is invested in special mortgage
bonds"
"Then there is no reason for anxiety in regard
to the fundl"
'None whatever. Ihave repeatedly said this
much over my own signature. These bonds al
present pay an interest Of something over
per cent, and are valuable Their value in q
few years will increase, and the investment is By
no means uncertain. There is not a Morgan
heir that knows anything about the Grant fund,
or in what bonds the money has been placed.
Furthermore, the guarantee of Governor Nor

WILL YOUNG HOLMAN FIGHT?
The Son of the Great Director To Be Chal-
lenged by q South American.

The Son of the Great Objector To Be Chal-
Ienged by a South American.
Washington Special
There was a very lively scene in the gentle
mems dressing room of Stewart Castle, last
ing open her house for general reception to
the official and fashionable society of Washing
ton. A son of Congressman Holman struck
Senior Don Carlos DeCastro, secretary of the
Venezuela legation, in the mouth, knocking him
down. Friends of both parties interfered to
prevent general fight, and in the struggle sew
eral blows were exchanged between other ex-
cited young men. Young Holman was gotten out
of the house, and the row ended without it be-
coming generally known
1t appears that number of the young men
patronized the punch bowl too freely, and were
in very excitable condition at the time of
young Holman's assault, and so rather added to
the excitement instead ofquelling it when the at
tack began.
The cause of the assault of young Holman was
to young lady friend of his who was at the
ball. The gentleman attache of
one of the South American legations.
despe to was svens so ,he sron a has
he rushed off with an imperfect description of
the guilty diplomatic, fedgling. He thought
De Castro was the man, though as it subse-
quently turned out, it was shown that De Castro
was not in any way to blame, and did not even
so much as know the young lady. He was SIM
ply mistaken for another, and before any ex-
PLANTATION could be made he was knocked out by
the Infatuated Hoosier.
Holman was caught by Charley Poor, of Sy-
racuse, N. Y, son Of Admiral Poor, and remon-
strated with, and Holman turned instantly
upon him with threats Then a burly California
friend interfered, and said that Mrs.
Stewards house should not be made
the scene of disgraceful brawl. BY this
time the dressing Doom was crowded. Before
young Holman could be pacifed several blows
were passed between members of the hot-headed
crowd. A young society man by the name of Gui-
hon was knocked out. but the burly Californian,
a strange man, played policeman so effedtually
as to put an end to the affair. 1t is said that
young Holman only regrets that he hit the wrong
man, and has apologized to De Castro. The lat
ter has declined any apology and will demand
personal satisfaction. Meanwhile young Hol-
man is looking for the real offender, and at the
same time is not unwilling to fight duel if
necessary. The incident is one of the greatest
social scandals of the season.
