FRED FUNsTON's COFFEE COMPANY.


FRED FUNSTON'S COFFEE COMPANY
The Rio COachapa Plantation Com
panyu is the name under which Fred
Funston has had the company incor-
porated which he has been organizing
for the purpose of going into the coffee
business. In making note of the in
corporation the company the Topeka
Capital said:
Fred Funston. who is the manager of the
COMPANY will leave about the first of next
mouth TO take up the work of improving the
plantation. He has secured the services OF 200
Mexican Indians TO begin the work of clearing
400 acres which will be planted with coffee trees
during the next year.
The land which is to be the scene of this COM
pany's operations is a tract of 5000 acres com
priSing a part of the De Chest estate, a large
body Of unimproved land lying between the
Uspanapa and COachapa rivers on the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec.
The DeGhest estate, comprising 1i6, 900 acres
was purchased from the original holder during
the summer of 1885 by Ar. Lionel Garden. British
consul general of Mexico. The incorporates Of
this company have contracted for the purchase
of choice tact of 600 acres of this land lying
on the COachapa river, a navigable stream
which will furnish the means OF communication
with the seaport town of COaizacOalcoS on the
Gulf of Mexico.
The land is unimp1oved and is covered with
a dense tropical forest Its surface is rolling
and billy, an absolute requirement for the sue
ccssful cultivation of coffee. The soil composed
of the decayed vegetable matter of many cen
turtles is from fifteen 10 twenty feet deep aud
perfectly friable ana mellow.
The capital stock of the company is 100000

SOMETHING'S IN PROSPECT FOR lola.

| = SOMETHING'S IN PROSPECT FOR lola.
II. O. Deming and +. 5. Ellis, of
Oswego, president and secretary ri
the Demins Investment "''rnrnY.
and JAS. Law, of ShushaD, :. ! ., and
II. Stewart, of st. Paul, Minnesota,
large capitalists, were in lola this
week looking over our gas field. They
ex pressed themselves as surprised at
the enormous volume of gas our wells
produce, and as delighted with the
town and country. The gentlemen
were not here on pleasure trip, but
with IAN eye for business" and it is
understood ,hat the purpose they
have in view is to secure leases on
enough gas territory To warrant them
in laying pipe line to Kansas City
where the gas could b. sold for fuel.
In the beginning, when it was fear
ell that our supply of gas was limited,
we were very much opposed to the
idea of having any of it piped away,
as we feared that would destroy all
prospect at locating manufacturing
plants at lola. But now that our
supply has been demonstrated TO be
practically ineXhaustible we are in
cfined to take different view of it
In the first place, TO lay pipe Ia
Kansas City, an undertaking invOlv-
g
600, would he the biggest advertise
meut the lola gas field could possibly
have. Asd III the sccund place any
manufacturing plants that wanted to
use he g1s Tor fuel would have to
come here 10 Gu il, as the gas could
not be carried a hundred miles and
then. furnished at low enough rate
to warrant its use as fuel in large fur
naces.
These two considerations incline us
to look more favorably upon the prop.
osition to pipe the gas away. We
will have plenty left anyhow. y
large amount of money will necessar-
lily be spent in boring wells and in
ditching ana other work m the cOun-
ty. The field will be thoroughly eX-
plored and magnificently advertised,
and a company with very large capt.
tai will be interested in seeing our
town prosper, Hnd will certainly CO.
operate with us in bringing desir-
able enterprises here. In fact the
longer we study the matter the fewer
objections we see to the plan prOpOs-
ed by Mr.. Deming and the gentle
men associated with him. Natural
gas has been piped from Indiana to
Chicago but it has built up the towns
where it was produced also, and we
do not see why the same thing can't
happen here.
One thing is certain: lola is going
to grow. There is no doubt about
that The gas is here and while part
of it may be carried hundred miles
to compete with manufactured gas,
there will yet remain enough to sup
ply all who want to take advantage
of the best and cheapest fuel on earth.
We have gas. We have building and
sidewalk stone. 1t is more than rum
ore1 hat in one of the wells not far
from here a heavy bed OF coal was
found. 1t is nearly certain that we
have oil. 1t is certain beyond doubt !
that we have a splendid farming and
fruit raising country. lola is going |
to grow. And those who want to get |
in on the ground floor would better
come here now.

WANT WHAT THEY CAN'T GET.
How B Certain Little Human Weakness
 Affects the Furniture Trade.

How Certain Little Human Weakness
 Affects the Furniture Trade.
 John, said furniture salesman, the other day, to the mover whom he had summoned, ''this bedroom set is sold. but it is not to be delivered just yet, and store it somewhere until want it. /"
 What's the use of moving it until you send it up to me?" asked the purchaser, idly. Why don't you leave it where it is?'
 The salesman, says New York eX- change, uttered a queer little laugh and said:
 ''1t is evident that you were never in the furniture business, or you would not ask that question. If 1 should mark that set sold and leave it here in the salesroom in plain sight it would probably lose us several good sales"
 ''How SOP" asked the purchaser, with an unbelieving look.
 Ut illustrates universal weakness of human nature, :" laughed the salesman. ''Everybody wants what he can't get, and there is nothing quite so attractive to the average buyer as piece of fur niture that somebody else has bought before he came around. If I left that bedroom set out marked sold half a dozen persons would say before night that it was exactly the set they wanted, and when they heard there were no duplicates they would fuss around en- viously and nothing else in the estab- lishment would satisfy them.
 Eventually they would go off dis contentedly and buy elsewhere, though the chances are that if there were no sold tag on the set none of them would give it more than a passing glance, while fair proportion of them would purchase other sets. It is a lit tie human weakness, that is all"
 So arises one of the tricks of the trade. When dealer sells a piece of furniture of which he has no duplicates he hustles it out of the saies-oom as quickly as he can, lest it lose him other trade. But when he sells a piece of furniture of which he has duplicates he puts a big ''sold" tag on it and leaves it in open sight as long as possi- ble for bait to others

MERCHANTS SANDCRAFTGUILDS
A Sort of Trades Union That Existed in
 the Twelfth Century.

the Twelfth Century.
 During the twelfth century merchant guilds arose in Fl the towns of impor- tance in England, and in the next cen tury a further development of town life took place in the rise of craft guilds. These associations were composed of the artisans engaged in a cer- tain industry in particular town. By the growth of popula- tion, it is evident that when the merchant guilds had attained their first century there would be consid- erable number of persons dwelling in the town who would not be eligible to membership of the guild either as land holders or as the heirs of guildsmen Many of these would be skilled in some pursuit or calling; and naturally they would adopt the best means of secur- ing their rights and protecting their in- terests by taking common action against the rest of the community
 The earliest craft guilds were those of the weavers and fullers of woolen cloth, says a writer in the Westminster Review. The guild of bakers is nearly as old, and that of the leather dressers, or corvesars, dates from about the same period. At first there was a struggle between the merchant guilds and the craft guilds, as the one body naturally strove to retain it's monopoly of the government of the town and the other endeavored to share in it's municipal privileges. But the circumstances of the time were such as to quick ly unite the two bodies in com mon resistance to the tyranny of the sovereign power, or of the great feudal lords. In turn, the monarch found it good policy to foster the towns, both with the object of developing their wealth, and so of acquiring a source Of revenue for himself, as well as of bring ing into existence a factor to counter balance the overgrown power of the nobles.

Heat Value of Coal.

The important fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
vestigatod the subject with scientific ex-
actness that only about or s per cent
of the total heat value of coal is utilized
i'll an engine by heating transformed
into power. In tracing up this loss it is
stated that there are required some
1902 degrees of heat, or heat units
not degrees of temperature-to change
one pound of water into steam, while
during the absorption of this amount of
heat tho temperature of the water re-
mains at 212 degrees. This immense
amount of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer.
Scientific authorities explain the cause
OF this loss in the steam engine as due
to tho fact that the 900 degrees absorbed
by water i'll being transferred into steam
PIP degrees are apparent upon Their
mometer, and which, added to 900.
make up tho 1903 degrees above men
tloned-go into the engine unindicated
by tho thermometer, leave in the same
manner and go to waste. =

CROMWELL's FIRST STATUE.

An Image OF Wood and Wax Carried
Through London In 1868.
When Edward Burrough, tho Quaker
Apostle of London" whom George
Fox called his "Son Of Thunder, A" was
passing through Charing Cross on his
way to the city, upon tho "22d day of
the ninth month";" 1868, he found the
streets crowded with people. "The
guards of soldiers, horse and foot, 4" says
he, stayed mo and stopped my horse and
said might not pass that way. Nei-
Their, indeed, WILL, adds no, "by rea-
son of the throng of people,
When he inquired the reason of "this
thronging and pressing of multitudes, "
he was told that they all came out "only
to see dead image and invented fea-
ture, without life or breath, which would
be carried this way" 1t was not the
great Protectors body, but dead image
OF wood or wax, arrayed and decked
with foolish inventions, and it "was to
DO carried from place to place that day
between Somerset House and Westmin-
ster, as was usual i'll the timo of popery,
for multltudes of foolish people to gaze
upon and wonder after and admire
Tho Jealous Quaker thought the statue
OF Oliver Cromwell all the moro an i'll
suit to his memory because she was
once great instrument in the hands of
tho Lord to break down many idola-
trous images and grievous idols. And
have they now, said my spirit, made a
costly image Of him? And are such MS
were once his soldiers, who pulled down
images and crosses, and all such popish
like stuff wherever they met with it,
now guarding his image and watching
over 1T, and his children and officers
following it, multitudes of tho inhabit-
ants Of London gazing after it? This is
sad, said l, and n great pity. Is this
the end and final farewell of once noble
Oliver?'
Edward Burrough concluded that it
was "a judgement" upon Cromwell to
be thus wrongcd after his death, because
he had suffered tho servants of tho Lord
(tho Quallers) to be prosecuted and i'm
prlsoned for crying against such things
as were popish. Ho says that Cromwell
himself would have been angry ut it.
Il knew the man when he was living
and had the knowledge of his spirit.
And am persuaded if it had been asked
him III his lifetime if such an image
should be made like him, and then set
up in such place, 1 believe no would
havo denied, say, and said, 1t shall
not DO there for mo, when am dead. ;
II it had been his bones," added the
Quaker, L should not have had aught
against it, whereas it was but an image
mado by hands" So Burrough went
homo and wrote his Testimony Against
Great Idolatry. "-Westminster Gazette.
