Sioux CRY, July 21-[Special to THE
Bee Just north of this cfty,' at Orange
City, Sioux county, there is an''trustn which
was in successful operation long before the
sugar trust or the lead trust were heard of,
viz. the celery trust. IL was founded and
successfully operated by the same persons
who have built up the vast caicry industry
in the vicinity of Kalamazoo, Mioh., in har-
mony with which it is to-day eqpducted. A
colony of Hollanders, being a branch of the
same colony which settled around Kalama-
zoo, settled in Sioux county, at
Orange City, several years ago This
colony had remarkable history,
and has achieved extraordinary results
in accumuloting wealth The Hollanders are
experts in raising celery, and they now have
hundreds of acres devoted to the successful
culture of this plant. Although there are
scores of Hollanders engaged in its separate
culture, from the very first the entire product
has been sold bv single man, who repre-
sents, under strict agreement, all the pro-
ducers in the market. The trust absolutely
fixes the price. 1t gets its supreme orders
from Kalamazoo. The market is skillfully
manipulated, so that q high price is always
maintained. There has never been break
in the trust or serious "Kick"
on the part of any of the irdi-
and the cultivation of celery is incomparsbly
more profitable than ordinary Iowa farming.
The Hollanders have grown rich and rapidly
distanced their neighbors, the ordinary
western farmers. The Orange City celery
industry has grown rapidly In magnitude,
and the acreage devoted to it will next year
be increased by several hundred acres

SCOTTISH RITE MASONRY.


An Edict Issued by the Grand Master
of Nebraska Mnsons
The grand master OF Masons of Nebraska,
John j. Mercer, has issued at euict dated at
Omaha, July 20, 1850, in which he cites the
resolutions passed at the recent session OF
the grand lodge, declaring that grand lodge
is an in Independent body recognizing and hay
ing supreme jurisdiction over no other de-
grees than those OF entered apprentice, fell
lowcraft and master Mason, and declaring
further that This grand lodge expressly de-
clines TO enter upon any discussion of the
history, use or Legitimacy of any bodies claim
ing TO confer what is known as the Scot.
tish Rite degrees, or TO be committed
TO the recognition Of any such body, or TO
the recognition OF any body comforting any
degrees over which this grand lodge has no
control, as being Masonic or as being "a part
of ancient craft Masonry Further, that
two bodies OF the same grade can not exist
in the same state at the same time, aud that
the first lawfully constituted authority OBJ
tains exclusive Jurisdiction IN the territory.
He then states tnat without entering into
any discussion of the history, use or legit-
macy of any Of the so-called 'Cerneau"
bodies, or of those governed by the
supreme council of the southern iuris
diction, it is sufficient to say that the sew
eral bodies of the so-called "Cerneau Rite,
are, by the resolutions of the grand lodge
aforesaid, declared unlawful, because the
territory over which they claim jurisdiction
had been occupied by bodies of the same rite
nnder the authority of the southern iuris-
diction.
1t is further declared that the only legiti-
mate and lawfully constituted Masonic au-
thOrity OF the Scottish rite within the state
Of Nebraska is that of the southern jurisdic-
tion, and all others not acknowledging al
legiance to the southern jurisdiction are un.
lawful and clandestine.
The members of the fraternity are ex
horted and enjoined from joining any bodies
Of the so called "Cerneau rite" and if any
have become members to withdraw from
such membership.

Fraudulent Assignment.
OMAHA, July 26.-To the Editor of THE
BEE: This evening my attention was called
to an article headed "A Fraudulent Assign
ment." AS am the person most interested,
aud knowing that great injustice has been
done me by the publication of that article,
/ ask you to publish the following true state
ment: In March, 1887, after an absence
from this city for some eight years, 1 re-
turned, and started in the grocery business
with Mr.. Walters, the name Of the firm being
Askwith & Walters. AT that time had 100
acres Of land in Madison county, Neb., (then
my homestead) and about $1,000 in
money, and at low estimate was
worth s4,5Oo. About one year later,
on account of Walters being unable to make
good his share Of losses in an Improbable
business. an agreement was made between
us that ! should take the firm assets and pay
the firms liabilities so far as was able.
This agreement was consumated, and an
amicable arrangement made with all the
firm creditors by which they were to take GO
cents on the dollar in settlement of claims.
This WAS accordingly done, and in order to
raise the money to do this was compelled to
sell my farm in Madison county. This then
left me owning the stock of goods of Ask
with Il Walters, and the book accounts,
which are not very gilt edged.
Allen Brothers were creditors OF Askwith
IL Walters, and were then. and all the time l
did business, familiar with all the facts
above stated. They we'll knew that l had
sold nv homestead to clear up the debts of
Askw'th & Walters, and that all / had re-
mining was simply the stock of goods and
bad accounts of the late firm of Askwith &
Walters. They sold the goods to me on
time, aud then prevented me in paying. by
taking from me the means of paying them in
SUNG out writ of attachment without the
shadow of a ground for such action. BY an
the Bradstreet aud Dun commercial agen-
cies it will be learned that my financial con-
dition in the spring Of 1887 and 1888 was re-
ported just as have stated here. feel that
in justice j am entitled to a publication OF
this article. Respectfully,
w. S. AsKwITH.
