acres, and some Of them nearly twenty

gated by flooding, and no evil results
have a. yet been manifest from the

peop1ed by an active, intelligent class
OF men who are keenly alive to the re-
quirements Of the business, and their
success Il indicated by their comfortable
surroundings. 1t is only during the
past three years that they have At
tempted to preserve any satisfies Of
their business, and these figures show
4 steady and gratifying increase in
their shipments. In 1859 these amount
ed TO $500 boxes of assorted fruit. In
1870 the amount increased to 10000
boxes, which increased in 1891 to 10000
boxes, and it is believed the figures in
1888 will reach 10000 boxes. This in

area under cultivation.

The republican league of this city,
In anticipation Of the nominations II

posed TO erect in honor Of the nominees.

inscribed In heavy black letters the
names Of our candidates, Harrison and
Reid. The starr and stripes also float
from the pole; the same old nag that
the republican party saved in the
bloody war Of the rebellion. 1t WAS

But They Proved Worthless and the Meu
Are Held for the Grand Jury.

<hhf t'f Jury.
The two alleged crooks who were arrested
Tuesday morning by Precinct Detectives Ran
and Weldon, as published in Tuesdays srAn,
were measured and photographed yesterday
for the rogues' gallery. In conducting the in
vestiganon the officers learned that the prs
oners were the men who. IL was alleged. have
been swindling persons under the pretcnse of
being members or representatives OF the seed
and flower firm OF Peter Henderson in New
York.
Messrs. Gardiner G. Hubbard and Allison
Nailor were the Neutrality-suspicious. who wero
swindled, and the prisoner. who gave his name
as George Henderson, it was alleged. claimed
to be relative Of the proprietors OF the said
firm, and the other prisoner. John Murphy,
did the work OF planting what they sold.
This morning the prisoners appeared before
Judge Miller to answer charges of false pre-
lenses. aud Nr. Nailur appeared with two Of
the rare vines that had been sold at 90 and
80 each, but Judge Miller thought they were
poison OAK runners.
Mr.. Nailor explained that his wife had pur-
chased five Of the vines for sl2. and VIXEN he
took them out Of the ground hc discovered that
there were no roots ON them. The vines the
prisoner Hen2erso named ''clemontis. aud
taid they were something new and the finest
thing of the kind on the market.
Mrs. Mailer explained that the plant WAS not
mentioned IN the catalogue, and Henderson
said that il would not be put in the catalogue
Tor two yearG.as IL was a new plant.
MIR. Hubbard purchased eight If the vines
and paid SIS tor them. He bought them be-
cause of their stated qualities and because one
of the prisoners represented that be a sou
Of the late Peter Henderson. Witness paid for
eight plants, but the prisoner only delivered
two. They were cuttings Of the Virginia

Who Discovered the Head OF the Mississippi?
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
This evenings STAR contains Q fresh airing
Of Capt. Glaciers old chestnut, that the head
Of the father Of waters is Elk lake instead of
Lake Itasca. The principal meat in this nut is
to immortalize the rediscoverer Of we'll
known fact by substituting the frigid name Of
Glazier for that of Elk. The whole subject Of
what really is the head of the Mississippi river
was as fully understood forty years ago by the
early settlers il Minnesota as it is now or ever
will be. 1t was as fully discussed by the early
settlers and was well understood by them
that the waters Of Elk lake ran into Itasca lake
as it is now.
I distinctly remember that James W. Vincent,
Sylvanus B. Lowry and John Bautil among the
early settlers of Minnesota then as strenuously
maintained that Elk lake was the true head Of
the river as Capt. Glazier does now, forty years
after, but neither Of them had the cheek to
propose his own name for the name of that
lake. II Mr.. ]. F. Williams, secretary Of the
Minnesota Historical Society at St. Paul. will
carefully look over the files in his Office of the
old Pioneer, published by james NJ. Goodhue
in l849 1850 and 1851, think he will find
articles upon this subject fully covering all of
Capt. Glaciers later rediscoveries. And as
further proof that this subject was under dis
cussion and understood at that time quote
from Baldwin and Thomas Gazetteer OF the
United States, published at Philadelphia in
1854. as follows: Page $50, 'Itasca lake, into
which flow the head waters Of the Mississippi,
is situated" &c. JAMES K. HuMpHRrr.

]. Heiberger, IT,, the chairman Of the execu-
tive committee, and their associates have
spared no effort to make all the details of the
arrangements as complete as possible. They
have received numerous compliments from
the members of the national exchange. Not
only have the local members looked after the
delegates, but they have seen that the ladies
who accompanied them have received
hospitable reception. The wives and daughters
of the members OF the Washington exchange
have ably seconded their husbands and fathers.
and the result is that all the visitors have
thoroughly enjoyed the few days spent in this
city.
THE NEXT CONVENTION.
At the session this morning the action Of the
convention yesterday in fixing the time for
holding the next convention as the first Tues
day in February was reconsidered. The exec
utive board was authorized to call the conven-
ton at date that in their discretion seemed to
be the best Milwaukee was selected as
the place for holding the next convention.
The report of the labor committee
was received stating that they had had q con-
ference with q committee from the Journey
men tailors' association, and their recommends
ton that the exchange cooperate with q COM
mittee from the journeymens association to
secure the better enforcement Of the tariff laws
was referred to the tariff committee.
The proposition made by the St. Louis ex-
change that the members of the various ex-
changes keep a record Of the efficiency of the
journeymen employed by them which could be
used by the men in applying for employment
was referred to special committee, which will
report at the next convention.
AGAINST A MONTHLY PAPER.
The Recommendation of the secretary that
monthly paper be issued as the official organ of
the exchange was reported adversely by the
committee to which it was referred and the re-
port was adopted. 1t was stated by those in
favor Of the issue of a newspaper that it would
be medium of keeping the members informed
Of what was being done by the officers Of
the exchange, and also of such matters
as would be OF general interest. One
Of the delegates, however, suggested
that there was already too much printed matter

DRAWBACK CERTIFICATES.

The Commissioners today recommended
favorable action upon II. r. bill $3.50. For the
relief of holders of drawback certificates is
sued under al act OF Congress approved June
2 $780," if amended by adding after the
word receivable" in line Z, the
words, provided, that not TO exceed
one-half the amount of said certificates
outstanding shall be 80 received during the
fiscal year 10 end June 30, lsS3, and the
amount not then received TO be receivable
for current taxes OF and during subsequent
fiscal years" The only manner, they say.
in which those drawback certificates can now
be redeemed is by their use in the payment
Of arrears of taxes This imposes upon
the holders of such certificates the necessity TO
seek persons whose property Is IN arrears for
taxes and induce them 10 use those GER
Inent of their tax accounts. The GER
delinquent taxpayers, who oblige them 10 sell
their certificates at q considerable discount.
Furthermore, il would probably be many
years before the owners could lind purchasers
for them among such delinquents. and
as the certificates bear no interest
they would lose largely in that way. This is .
great injustice. because the mass Of these GER
tificates represent cash that was advanced upon
special assessment liens. which the courts sub
sequently declared invalid, to aid former
municipal governments OF the District
to carry on their public improvements
The amount outstanding is officially reported
10 the Commissioners 20 be Gig, l5217. The
Commissioners believe that the revenue Of the
District for the next and succeeding fiscal yearo
will be sufficient TO justify this measure.
