YUCCA SOAP COMPANY.

oil in just the right portions to
form nice lather in soft water.
The higher classes of Mexico consider the
root far preferable TO common soap for
cleaning the skin and scalp. 1t seems to
have a great healing nature also, and the
Yucca Soaps viii be found very beneficial
in many cUGaneous affections: indeed this
company has made a special soap for
eczema which has been the means of
effecting some remarkable cures Of salt
rheum. etc Rev. David Winters, pastor
OF the First Presbyterian church of this
city, testifes TO It's great efficacy in this
line.
The Wichita yucca company" was
started nearly a year ago and was com
posed OF Mr.. c. K Smith, the well known
druggist Mr.. W. r. Binkley and Mr.. A.
\. Hyde. Since then the TWO former have
left the firm and Mr.. ID. Wheeler is
now manager of the factory. The com
pany turn out three grades Of toilet
soap. Brown" a slightly colored by the
bark, WHOLESALERS at s. per gross. White
made with the bark, removed at 50 per
gross and Sandalwood, highly perfumed
with that scent, at &12 per gross.
Yucca shaving soap and Yucca tooth
soap are also put up in fine shape and are
growing in favor. From the liability to
scratches and cuts, both in shaving and
brushing over teeth a vegetable compound
is surely to be desired for these purposes.
The Yucca company also put up fine
corn cure and vest pocket cough spe-
cific," which is quite remarkable. Rev.
Hewitt saws it will stop fit of coughing
instantly. For aSthmatics and cOnsump-
tiyes, it is invaluable, and for public
speakers far preferable to troches.
The goods of the Yucca company are
found in all our leading drug and grocery
stores, and are growing in favor all over the
Southwest. The company proposes to add
other specialties as the trade demands.
The trade of this company is spreading
all over the United States and the healing
effects of the yucca plant are fast becom-
ing known. They manufacture the
soaps by the cold process and the only
secret in the trade is in extracting and
utilizing the Caustic and oils that are
found in chemical union in the plant, The
valuable properties of the plant have as
yet never been initiated by the chemist
and its healing powers are simply a pecu-
liar Vegetable growth. The caustic and
the yucca oils are simple enough, but in
their natural union they battle analysis
completely These soaps are used almost
entirely by the railroad companies and
labOrers can not be induced to use any
thing else. In different compounds such
as tooth paste, etc, the yucca is particular
ly serviceable and pleasant. The manu-
facture of different druggists specialties is
quite an important branch of the business.
As the process is mostly scret there isvery
little to be said about it, but all druggists
are satisfied Of the safety and efficiency of
preparation bearing the yucca trade

MERCHANTS MEETING.
A Strong Branch Organization of the Mer
chants Mercantile Agency, Of Chicago
Election of Officers and Perman-
emf Organization,

For some weeks Messrs. Mcdonald and
! Duffard, representing the Merchants Mer-
camille Agency, of Chicago, have been in
the city explaining the business of the
company and organizing a branch. As
represented the agency seeks to place in
the hands of the retailers in all lines, in
| formation concerning the financial stand
| ing Of their customers that Dun or Brad
street gives the wholesale houses. The
agents have spent some days here and as
result meeting of those becoming inter
L. sted was held last evening at the board of
trade. The meeting was attended by sew
enty-six of the leading retail merchants in
the city who formed the club which had
met for the purpose of making a perman
ent organization.
Officers were elected as follows: George
L. Pratt, president; r. Allen Hall, vice
president; j. Y. Dorsey, secretary; J. B.
Bush, treasurer. Mr.. Pratt on assuming
| the duties of the position represented that
he was most heartily in sympathy
with the plan suggested by
the agency after careful
investigation into its ability to give infor-
nation concerning customers. Almost
every day he had felt the need of just such
an agency and had often thought the re-
tailers should have an arrangement for
reliable information concerning their Gus
TONERS.
An executive board was selected as fol-
lows: w. S. Corbett, Chas. Biting, T. B.
Thrildkell, H. B. DuPlain, 6. A. Major,
John McCOmb, A. Katz, L. G. Jackson.
This association has membership of
1900 to 20 900 members, and has fourteen
states organized and have corps of forty
odd men at work in all states, and at an
early date will be thoroughly organized
throughout the whole United States. The
purpose of this organization is. not only to
help its members in establishing the re
sponsibility of their patrons but also to
fully inform the members of all persons
who are unworthy of credit and to assist
in collecting accounts past due, and to
! especially help in collecting accounts of
parties who have moved away, as they
have either a local organization or legally
representation in all points of consequence
throughout the United States.
The executive board will meet on Mon
day evening next at the store of Trimble
Bros & Threlkeld, to commence the work
in the line set apart as the duty OF the
board

THE NEW RAILWAY.

Esquire Utz. a prominent resident of
Eagle township, residing at Bentley, was
in the city yesterday and reported that a
new proposition TO vote aid tothe Halstead
Belt Line railway is now being circulated
in Eagle township, and an election viii be
called very soon. The last proposition,
owing 10 the reading OF the same, was lost
by only four majority against. Tie new
proposition has been stripped Of all objec-
tionable features and has already been
signed by majority OF the taxpayers Of
the township and will be carried. The
people of Sedgwick are showing some in
terest in the new line, desiring it 10 come
via that city, and there is now considerable
rivalry between SedgSick and Bentley as
to which viii get the new line. There Is
no feeling in the matter, only each town
desires the line An election has been
called in Iakin township for June "A, and
as the petition there was signed by ninety
two of the property owners OF the town
ship the election viii undoubtedly carry.
A. soon as the bonds are voted the first
fourteen miles OF the line VIII be at once
