Eight hundred ''speak easies," or unlicensed
places where liquor is sold, have sprung up,
drinking clubs are fourishing, and little or
nothing is apparently done to punish these
violations of the law, since public sentiment
does not support SO severe restrictions on the
traffic.
The Philadelphia Record has this to say
concerning national bankrupt law: Hith-
erto the movements in favor of a uniform
bankruptcy law have been initiated in the
mercantile centers of the East, and have
met with little encouragement elsewhere.
This time start has been made in the West,
meetings of mercantile associations having
already been held in st. Louis and Milwau-
kee to promote an active and general effort
throughout the United States to influence the
next congress to pass uniform bankruptcy
law. Had the bankruptcy bill SO ably advo-
Gated by Representative Collins of Nassachu-
setts reached vote in the last congress,
there is little doubt that 1t would have
passed, notwithstanding the opposition it en-.
countered in some portions of the country.
The chief ground of hostility to the last
bankruptcy law was the extravaganza of ite
administration. Official costs so frequently
consumed the assets of insolvent debtors
that nothing was left for creditors, and the
act was repealed in an outburst of popular
indignation. The bill reported in the If
tieth congress, and which will doubtless be
reported in the next without substantial
changes in its provisions, carefully guards
against this abuse. Costs and fees are
strictly limited, 30 that 1t would be impossi
BILE under this bill to renew the practices that
provoked SO much hostility to the former
law. This objection removed, justice to
honest debtors, as well as to creditors, de-
mands that congress should pass a uniform
law upon the subject of bankruptcy.

A Strange Pair.

From Resedae Letter to the Indianapolis Journall
Alfred Dewitt and daughter Mary Ann are
very peculiar people. She is sixteen years of
age, and keeps house for her father. Mr..
Dewitt, when he related his history, was eat
ing supper consisting of turnips, bread and
cold water. He believes he and his daughter
will never die; that they will live forever; that
do not eat anything that e1tinguishss life.
They claim that which is of God endureth
forever. They claim to be joint heirs with
Jesus Christ In regard to his peculiar relig-
ious ideas, Dewitt says: 81 am hfty-eight
years of age. I was born in Vigo County,
Indiana. When young nan I was bad. I
lived In this wicked manner until 1877. !
concluded to change my wicked course. A
new life came over me. Come unto me all
ye who are heavy laden and I will give you
rest Before this time had been an invalid
for several years. I suffered intensely with
rheumatic pains and was bent crooked as Q
bow. had to walk with cane. The same
year was healed and received the gift OF
sanctiacation. From that time to the present
day have never been sick an hour, nor have
ever taken dose of medicine. I have never
| felt pain except when I met with accidents
Once accidentally cut off my big toe; tht
| wound healed in one day without the appli
cation of anything but cold water. I wrap
ped it in a rag, and on the second day
wore my boot. On the eighth day it was en-
tirely healed"
Reliable people in Rosedale attested thu
truthfulness of this statement.
"I employ no earthly DOCTOR" CONTINUED

Mr.. Dewitt claims that all those who hv
in strfot obedience to the laws of God vii
have perfect health. He has many strang

as to what he shall eat and what he shall nc

A BIG SCHEM e.

The Farmers Federation of the Mississippi
Valley has called a convention of the wheat
growers of the Mississippi Valley for the
purpose of forming syndicate which shall
raise the price of wheat to the western farm
er The Farmers Federation is a joint stock
company, with capital stock of $50, 900 1000,
only So, O00, 900 of which can be put on the
market and sold; of this $5,000,000 every
farmer and local shipper will have an oppor~
tunity to buy at 10 cents on the dollar or
earn the stock in shipments to the company,
and become an equal stookholder and have
his interest in the $15,0OO,00O of stock held
in trust FOR stockholders. This company
makes no change in the rate Of com missions
now charged for selling grain and live stock,
but proposes to make reduction of 80 per
cent, in the force of commission men, and
by retaining 10 per cent. as salaried agents
save $9,000,0o0 annually. The pledge of
eonsignments that farmers, feeders and local
shippers are required to make before they
can purchase shares of stock, is intended to
centralize large share of the commission
business and enable the company to defy
competition to begin with; besides, it is said
that 1t will soon have control of the stock
yards and grain elevators, with power to e.
| tablish rules and regulations that would give
| the company q monopoly in the commission
| business and power to control shipments and
l the regulation Of the price Of farm products
| in the home markets.
Itisfgured out that the farmers of the north
/ western States are paying 100000 annu-
| ally in elevator and stock yard charges, and
| SO, 900, 900 in commissi ions for selling. By
| concentration Of shipments of farm produce
1 to this company, 1t is calculated that the
1 whole of this business of selling can be done,
/ through system of salaried agents, for
| 81, ,000, 900, and thus save the farmers
| 50, 900, 900 annually. 1t is proposed, there
fore, to get nearer the consumers by displao-
ing 80 per cent. of these commission men,
and then by one of the latent powers of this
organization to wipe out 80 per cent. of the
object and purposes of the charter through
FIVE bureaus or business departments which
will greatly simplify the practical workings
of the plan. The heads of these departments
are to constitute an executive board or advi-
sorry council of the president.
This is fine scheme and may work unless
there is a combination against it, as there is
likely to be. Hitherto the commission men
have been able to hold their own, and they
will not give up without a struggle
