ARMOUR ACCUSED OF SHARP PLAY
1t is Said that by Manipulating Insurance
He Has Made II Good Turn.

1t is Said that by Manipulating insurance
He Has Made Good Turn.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 3.-Armour & Co.
are accused of having bought up all the
insurance upon their elevators, thereby
depriving the owners of grain from hav-
ing an insurance put upon their prop
erty, and preventing them from realiz-
ing upon the grain, should anything
happen to it. The further claim is
made that Armour is playing neat
little game, which forces the holders of
grain in his elevators to part with it,
thus putting down the price and enab-
ling Armour to buy it and thus make
neat sums.
Traders and brokers on the board of
trade say Armour sent out over 500, 600
bushels of wheat yesterday, which ac-
ton created quite q scare, the conse-
queuce being that more than half a
million bushels were at once dunped
upon the market, causing small
slump to-day. Amour then, it is as
serted, bought in this wheat cent or
so below the price which had been rul-
ing and made a considerable profit.
AT the Office of Armour & Co. this was
denied, Mr.. Armour's representative as
sorting strongly that they were willing
to give insurance to any firm carrying
wheat in their elevators. 1t was also
denied that anything near half a million
bushels of wheat had been sent out yes
terday by Armour, but one broker said
he had received an Armour delivery
notice mum bered 112, and as each notice
represented at least 5000 bushels, and
some of them 5000 and 10000, he is
sure much more than half million had
been sent out. The matter will be
placed before tho board of directors of
the board of tcado, and an effort will
be made to have the Armour elevators
declared irregular

NO COUPONS FOR TANEs.
Treasurer Thomas Says Not n Single One
Has Been rendered


Has Been rendered.
Although about SEQ, 900 in taxes have
been paid to the treasurer up to Decem-
Der l, not a dollar has boon rendered in
coupons Treasurer Thomas said yos-
terday that some coupons were taken
last year, but he had not seen any since
that time.
There is man in Lynch burg" said
he, who has been writing with view
of selling lot of coupons to taxpayers
and agrees to stand between them and
all danger, but have not heard whether
or not hc has disposed of any. 1t
seems that those who would use coupons
for tho payment of taxes would rather
pay their money than be bothered with
coupons, for in each instance they have
to pay the money and tender the con.
pons at the same time. The matter is
then laid before the court. The treas
urer cannot accept coupons unless tho
full amount of money has been de-
posted.

The Stores beginning to Put on Holiday
Dress.
The Christmas holidays are close at
hand. and the stores in Roanoke are
beginning to take on their Christmas
dress. Salem avenue and Commerce
street are daily thronged with people
busily engaged in purchasing Christ
mas presents. The clerks in the stores
are beginning to feel the increase in
business, and the holidays, which are
so eagerly looked forward to by other
people, has no attraction for them. The
displays made in some of tho stores are
very pretty and attractive, and from
the appearance of their stock it will not
DO necessary for any purchasers to 60
outside OF Roanoke for their supplies.
Everything from needleAo a locomo-
tive. and from pin to suit of clothes,
can be obtained from Roanoke mer-
chants.
Complaint About West Campbell street.
There is much complaint among citi-

city tearing up the board walks from
Grove street two hundred feet west and
failing to replace it. Citizens claim
that they paid for putting this sidewalk
down, and that the street authorities
have had ample time to replace i. since
the grading was completed. AS it is
now they are compelled to wade through
the mud and slush. Their complaint
merits immediate attention and they
are justly indignant at the treatment
they have received.
