RIG AUGMENTATION.


 Cooperative distribution has worked in England and continues to work we'll there. In that country there are several great cooperative associations, the mem bers of which profit largely by belonging to them. In this country cooperative as sociations started on the same plan which has worked so we'll in England have been as rule unsuccessful. We believe there is "protective union" in Worcester which pays, but we do not know of any other in New England. An interesting experiment in this line is to be tried in the West by the farmers alliances of all that agricul- tural region of which Kansas City is the market. It is the purpose of the farmers to eliminate the middleman from the in dustrial and social scheme, in so far as he affects their in terests The headquarters of the l union will be in Kansas City, and there will be established the union warehouse ! and market for the receiving and selling ! of all the produce of the members of the county alliances represented in the co operative society. The agents in Kansas City will keep in stock all the clothing groceries and common necessaries of life and sell them to the members at prof sufficient only to pay the running expense of organization. Each member of tn county alliances is expected to take stocl in the proposed enterprise and to make | successful by his patronage.
 It will be interesting to watch the prog ress of this scheme. Its success will 0 course depend on its management. It ha hitherto seemed almost impossible to ge good management for cooperative scheme ill this country.

One of the too numerous cases where
criminal procedure of the courts is re-
sorted to, simply to collect money, oc-
Cured yesterday morning in Justice
Austin's court,a
The case was that OF T.. Rosenthal, a
well-known real-estate dealer OF River
side, who, it appears, must be bit of
high roller. The story, as the HERALD
gets it, is that some little while ago
Rosenthal visited gambling resort in
the building on the northwest corner of
of First and Spring streets. AS is the
case in such places the visitor lost what
he had, and he borrowed money from
Charles Doria, who, it is said. conducted
the place. The amount of the loan
is described as 500. This all happened
three or four months ago. and Doria n
claims that he could not get the money
Accordingly he swore to a complaint be-
! fore Justice Austin charging Rosenthal
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and yesterday morning at 8
O'Clock Rosenthal was brought into
court. What occurred afterwards is not
exactly known, but in an hours time
Rosenthal was free. Dorian said he had
received his money.
This matter is one that should be
thoroughly explained-in fact it is
thought that the grand jury would do
we'll to give it some attention. 1t may
possibly be all straight, but on the face
of it, the affair looks crooked. Criminal
procedures were not designed to be o
means OF collecting accounts, particu-
larly accounts which are of such nature
as not to be legally collectable.

court. 1t was alleged that Harvey sold
a cart which he had leased from Haw-
ley, King & Co. A complaint was sworn
out against Harvey and he was charged
with a serious crime, and the case
against him looked black until one of
the employees of Hawley, King & Co.
testified that he had authorized Harvey
to sell the cart, as the two carts which
he had previously purchased were
enough security for the indebtedness.
This clearly showed that there was no
criminal intent on the part OF Harvey,
and the case was forthwith dismissed.
The complaint was issued at the request
OF Gillen, who, in conjunction with Ran
dolph, had purchased the cart. No one
knew that by arrangement Harvey had
a right to sell the cart.

Athletic Club Grounds.

The new baseball and athletic grounds
OF the Los Angeles Athletic club, at the
corner OF Alameda and Seventh streets,
will be ready inside OF three weeks. The
ground has been plowed up, and work
on the fencing and erection of a grand
stand will be commenced this week. The
grand stand will accommodate about
fifteen hundred people. A HERALD re-
porter was yesterday shown a plan Of
the grounds. The entrance to the park
will be near the electric building, and
distant about one hundred and fifty yards
from the Arcade depot. The track fol
the runners and bicyclists will be of the
usual elliptical shape, and one-quarter
OF mile in circumference. The base
ball diamond is to be laid out directly
opposite the grand stand. 1t is on the
tapis to open ON Thanksgiving Day with
a lacrosse match between Riverside and
Los Angeles. The first baseball game
on the new grounds will be played on the
following Sunday.
