the rPSiueHtt lSeDOtt
PEORIA, ILL.,, April 15.--Thc annual meet
ing Of the whisky trust legally known as the
"distilling aud cattle feeding company was
held in this city today. Somewhat contrary
TO expectation the meeting did not altogether
ignore the reports Of plot by the trusts Sec
retary, Gibson, to blow up the big antitrust
Shufeldt distillery with dynamite In the
annual report of the president of the trust,
as laid before the meeting, the concluding
paragraph has the following regarding the
peculiar circumstan ces now being investi-
gated by the federal grand jury at Chicago:
"ln conclusion | wish to say that inasmuch
as the papers have been teeming with what
is commonly called the Gibson case the
stockholders Of this company would naturally
expect from the board some reference to the
matter Gibson declares to us his innocence,
and after an investigation of the matter as
FAR as lies III our power we have no reason to
doubt his statement nor to change our views
as expressed through the press heretofore,
and further, that as long as we are connected
with the affairs of this company we propose
that it shall be run as straight and upright as
has characterized our business from the be-
ginning Of the organization
No action was taken on the subject by the
meeting. a full board of nine directors was
elected. Eight of the old directors were

aggregated HIS, l1l gallons. an increase of
nearly 100000 gallons over the sales of the
preceding year aud of nearly 1900, COO gallons
over the sales of the twelve months ending
two years ago. Regarding the tests with
the new Japanese method of dstillation the
presidents report says the preliminary indi-
cations are very favorable, and if confirmed
by later DEVELOPMENTS Will revolutionize the
business with advantages to the trust which
are incalculable The trust has exclusive
control of the patent and pays therefor moth

No one spoke, while everyone seemed

Subscribers of The BEE on East Pierce
street have been troubled considerably of
late by the stealing of papers from their
front steps in the morning before they have
had chance TO read them. One of the vie
tins made up his mind that he would capture
the thief, and accordingly kept watch yester-
day morning for the thief, who has made his
visits with mono,onous regularity for
some time past. About o'clock
he saw sm, II boy walk into
his yard and seat himself near where the
paper was lying, After sitting there in the
most innocent manner possible for minute,
he got up and went away, stuffing the paper
into his pocket as he went He only went a

After a Y... q Waltz,

o. Sprink was arrested Tuesday night
Marshal Templeton as he was coming out Of
the opera house. A warrant was issued for
the arrest of Sprink about year ago, ON the
charge of the larceny Of a coat and vest,
mandolin, necktie and pin from Fred Pollard,

committed Sprnk left the city and
has not been seen here until

to see him, and made the arrest as above
stated. He was kept in the station as a

prosecute the alleged thief. Yesterday morn,
ing Pollart came to the station and said he
would prosecute, and Sprnk was then booked
with the charge Of larceny and put in Jail to

shielding the merchants from people
who do not pay their bills, by in
stituting sort of boycott each member
agreeing not to sell goods to any one who is
blacklisted, except for cash. The organiza-
tion has done a great deal toward putting an

Enquiry as above suggested develops
the fact that the requirements of the
postal authorities are proper lighting
and labelling of streets, numbering of
houses and good sidewalks. The
lighting requirement exists-the others
do not. The house numbering and
street labelling have been in main part
done. But the sidewalks in certain
places are not such as will keep a
mail carrier out of the mud. If any
thing is being done or is contemplated
by the Council to mend the sidewalk
status quo, the TINES is uniformed
