William D. Collins died at his home in

ed Major of the regiment, which office
he held until the close of the War. The
| Charles City Intelligencer says: "Mr.
Collins was twice elected superintendent
of schools in this county, and was prin-
cipal of the schools of this place for
some time. His mind was in touch with
educational interests, and the future of
our common school system was always
very near to his heart. He was man of
good education anG fine culture, pleas
ant conversationalist, and took a deep
interest in the work of the teachers of
this State.
His health had been very poor for
many years and his eye sight being in
jured, he was not for the last years of
his life able to give the attention to cur

THE PARITY" OF SUGAR,
The Sugar Trust a MonstrOus Monopoly
of World. Wide powar

The Sugar Trust a MonstrOus Monopoly
Of World Wide Power
Congressman Dewitt Warmers Re-
form club pamphlet on the sugar trust
is one of the best pieces of political
writing seen in many years. He sums
up the situation of the trust and the
people thus:
With the Spreckels in control of
Hawaii and the Havemeyers extend
ing their plantations in Cuba, the
trust dictates to every branch of sugar
production and distribution in the
United States, taking under it's wing
every one concerned except those
who consume sugar. From it's office
at III Wall street, cable messages fly
daily to its agents in Cuba, fixing the
price of raw sugar there; to San Fran
cisco announcing Cuba's parity, at
which arriving in Hawaii sugars are
to be valued, telling her planters what
in view of Cuban and Hawaiian
prices-the trust condescends to Of
fer for American sugar; and to its
representatives all over the world, Civ
ing the limit-based on Cuban parity
at which they can pick up Austrian,
Javan, PHILIPPINE, Brazilian and 9TH
er sugars, when these are temporarily
depressed in prices. In an adjoining
room the quotations at or above which
the subservient dealers throughout the
country are permitted to sell sugars
are daily settled, and through the four
Oroof c1,Oor hroEorc uyho ctopd poaroek
the throne these are passed to forty
others who await the sugar trusts nod
at New York and telegraphed to the
waiting hundreds in other cities in the
land. These in turn so promptly noti-
fly their patrons, the thousands of
wholesale grocers of the country, that
before their doors are opened all dan
ger of any purchaser getting his sugar
below trust prices is over for the day.
BY discount from his bill or periodical
remittance, as the case may be, each
faithful wholesaler is promptly and
literally paid for his loyalty, and
whenever in the crisis of legislation
one hears the bugle call of the trust
he instantly steps into line, ready to
lombard his congressman with tele-
grams or fight him with ballots at
short range until the sugar trust cause
is triumphant.
"Such is the grandest trade organ
ization the world has ever seen.
THE sugar trust dictates the trib-
ute that shall be rendered it by the
American people.
THE wholesale grocer is rewarded
by whatever largess the trust thinks
necessary to insure their loyalty.
And the public? The public be
damned'-and it is"

Judgment for Damages i'm Favor of Mrs.
DaW--Currier is Sustained.

Daw--Currier is Sustained.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 16.-The judg-
ment of $1914 which Mrs. Ada Dow
Currier obtained last year against
David Henderson, the manager of the
Chicago opera house, and the DuqueSne
theater, Pittsburg, for alleged injuries
sustained by being struck on the head
by a piece of batting from the flies,
has been affirmed by the general term
of the supreme court of New York.
Mr.. Henderson received this informa-
ton tonight and stated that the case
would be carried to the court of ap-
peals of New York. He further stated
that Julia Marlowe and Ariel Barney,
who was Miss Marlowe's manager at
the time the accident occurred in 1889,
had signed papers to protect him
against any possible damage suits that
might arise in the future. He (Mr.
Henderson, paid all convalescent ex-
penSeS and doctor bills until Mrs. Dow
was discharged as cured. This agree
ment was accepted by Miss Marlowe
all damages, and according to Mr..
Barney and Miss Marlowe, was ac-
cepted by Mrs. Dow.
1.-THE facts of the accident" said
Mr.. Henderson, " are these: Mrs. Dow
was with Miss Marlowe as an aunt or
companion. Mr.. Currier was stage
manager. Mrs. Dow was on the stage
when she had no business to be there.
She was ordered off repeatedly by the
stage manager who feared she might
be hit with scenery. She refused to go.
A piece of batting caught on the flies
and struck her on the head and knock
ed her insensible. She was carried to
the hospital. 1 was threatened with
lawsuits by her manager, Ariel Bar
ney, whose counsel was Robert G.. In
gersoll, who at that time took a strong
interest in Miss Marlowe. Rather than
get into any litigation with Mr.. Inger-
soil L consented to compromise. I
agreed to pay all doctor bills and con-
valescent expenses until she was dis
charged as cured, and Miss Marlowe
and Mr.. Barney agreed to protect me
from any future claims that might be
made. l engaged one of the most not
ed physicians of the western country
to attend her. She was discharged as
cured. My bills for her convalescence
and doctors fees amounted to some-
thing like $1,000. Three or four months
after she was discharged as cured
she married Mr.. Currier, who formerly
had been stage manager for Julia Mar

Mineral Water Company Fetches Up in a
Receivership.

Receivership.
Chicago, March 16.-The Waukesha
Hygiea Mineral Water company has
gone into the hands of a receiver. APP
plication was made for the appoint
ment of a receiver before Judge Jen-
kins at Milwaukee this afternoon. The
applicants were the trustees under the
mortgage held by the Jarvis and Con-
kiln company. The company agreed
to the proceeding and Charles c. Prest
was made the receiver. The receiver
ship is practically the foreclosure of
the mortgage securing $1,1OO.000 of
bonds issued in September, 1891 The
company has defaulted in the interest
due for March and September of last
year and again in the interest due on
March 1, this year. The total indebted
ness claimed by the trustees, Samuel
M. Jarvis of New York and John F.
Downing of Kansas City is 81 ,304. .405.
The company was organized in the
summer of 1891 and a concession Sc
cured from the directory of the worlds
fair for the exclusive sale of the water
in the fair grounds. To supply the
various stands at the fair and to
cheaper the water to Chicago con-
sumers arrangements were made to
pipe the water to Chicago from Wau-
kesha, a distance of over 100 miles. To
lay pipes and provide adequate pump
ing facilities the $1.1O0.000 bonds were
issued at thirty years bearing interest
at per cent, The company since the
fair has been engaged in supplying the
water to Chicago consumers but the
net earnings have not been sufficient to
pay the expenses of operation and the
pipe line has been but little used. The
line cost nearly $4,000
The company owns the Hygiea and
Glen Springs at Waukesha where it
has erected large bottling works, a
pumping station and two costly pavil-
ions. The personal property in Chica-
go consists Of wagons and horses main
ly, with the plant for the storage and
use Of the water, which is valued at
$4,000. Receiver Prest says the in
debtedness Of the company outside Of
the mortgage will not reach $40, 900.
The receiver will take charge of the
business on Monday.

New York, March 16.-The reports of
the opening of the safe of the Whisky
Trust at Peoria by Receivers McNulta
and Mitchell have annoyed President
Joseph B. Greenhut very much. Mr..
Greenhut, when seen by a reporter for
the Associated Press, said he would
make things hot for anyone who inter-
fered with his private documents.
President Greenhut is confined to his
room by an attack of la grippe, which
has lasted some four days.
When shown the Associated Press
dispatches from the west, as to the
opening of his safe by an expert en-
ployed by the receivers, Mr.. Greenhut
made the following statement:
ION Thursday last received mes
sage from Receiver McNulta asking me
to send the combination of the safe, as
the receivers wanted all the papers be-
longing to the company. l sent the fol-
lowing message in reply:
John McNulta, receiver, Peoria, LII.
Message received. AS far as l know
all papers belonging to the company
contained in the safe have been turned
over to Mr.. Higgins, except the minute
book and the certificate of the COM
pany's charter, of which you have
copies. 1 have all my private papers
in the safe, therefore ! do not care to
wire the combination. 1 will turn the
safe over to you on my return
"To this l have received no reply,
nor have 1 received any information
except what 1 have learned from the
reports published in the papers.
Now, l want to tell you right here"
said Mr.. Greenhut vehemently. that
if any attempt has been made to touch
my private, personal papers, L shall
make it very hot for anyone commit
ing such an outrage. While my private
papers contain nothing that l need be
ashamed of, or that requires conceal
ment, they are my private property
and no one has any right to meddle
with them.
IT noticed that the dispatches claim
that an important document, viz, the
minute or record book of the days meet
ing was found in the safe and that it
furnished new light on certain con-
tracts, from which the directors and
myself profited. The absurdity of this
statement will be very apparent when
tell you that full copy of this record
was made by the receivers early in
February, and that a copy has been in
their possession ever since, and it was
with the express understanding of the
receivers that the record book was left
in my charge.
II only express my opinion mildly
when 1 say that the reported proceed
ings in Peoria are unwarrantable and
contemplate. 1 am too i'll at present
to go into further details, but I assure
you yill see this matter out to the Bit
ter end, and any person who has in
vaded my personal rights will be made

pany Want Receiver.

Creditors of the John Moran Packing Com
pany Want Receiver.
st. Joseph, March 16.-Creditors of
the John Moran Packing company have
asked for a receiver.
1t is alleged in the petition that the
townsite of st. George, where the
packing house is located, was estab-
lished for the sole purpose of selling the
real estate at a high price and that the
packing house enterprise, townsite and
all, is a mere bubble. c. B. France,
president of the State National bank
and John Donovan, Jr., are accused of
owning the plant of the company all
the time and transferring it to Moran
only for the sake of appearance. The
petition charges that two of the cred
itors of the packing company were
ousted SO that Moran, when he became
involved, could transfer the plant back
to France and Donovan. The defend
ants are also accused of having the
Chicago assets of Moran's company
transferred to the State National bank
for the ostensible purpose of defraud-
ing Moran's creditors. Directors in
Chicago and Kansas City were told
that the capacity of the packing house
was to be increased by the negotiations
with France and Donovan, but it re-
suited in the complete collapse of the
concern instead of an increase in its
business.

"The most perfect form of currency
Is that which has no intrinsic value,
such as paper; and it is only when ma
tions shall reach high degree of civil
lization, that they will adopt this per-
feet form. 1t is the visible symbol of
transferable power which gives money
its power, and distinguishes a coin
from a medal"
The possession by money of desirable
qualities or other uses will always
subject 1t to commercial laws and cause
1t to ductuate; thing that true money
should never do.
The whole commercial world would
be reduced to chaos if the yard and
pound should be subjected to manipu-
lations which would cause them to
vary from day to day. And the present
chaos of the financial world is the re-
suit of basing the unit of value upon a
scarce and 1uctuating commodity,
which is subject to the control and
manipulation of designing men, who
seek to control all natural sources of
wealth, and all labor, through such
manipulation.
The law of finance, like the law of
weights and measures, must be based
upon natural principle before har-
mony and prosperity can be realized.
Until the people are educated to this,
let us, by all means, have all the gold,
and all the silver we can get, supple
mented by paper money equal in
debt paying power to the others. But
the final outcome of this education will
be money whose sole power will abide
in its being legal unit for the measur-
ment of value, Gust as the gallon is a
legal unit for the measurement of Ii
quids) composed of a material which
shall have no quality which will make
it the object of desire for other uses.
This will be "the survival of the fittest,"
in finance.

NEW CLAIMANTS SHOW UP.
Alahoma Creole Family Say They Own
Mount Vernon Barracks.

Mobile, Ala, March 16.-At the last
session of congress an act was passed
granting to the state of Alabama the
property known as Mount Vernon
barracks, the former abiding place of
the government troops and Apache In
dams of war.
Now come the Brues, a we'll known
creole family of this state who reside
at Creola, Ala, and enter their protest
against such disposition of the prop
erty. They say, and it is stated on
good authority that this claim will be
made good, that the land on which is
now stationed Mount Vernon barracks
was donated by them years ago to the
United States for the purpose for which
it was used until the transfer of the
troops and Indians to other points.
In their transfer of the 2S0 acres, more
Of less, there is said to have been an
agreement that if the site was ever
vacated or abandoned, that the prop
erty would revert back to them with
any improvements that might have
taken place. A number of handsome
buildings have been erected on the land
and the cost of these alone is said to
amount to $150,000. The land itself is
very valuable. The fight will be watch
ed with interest, and If the claim of the
Brues can be proved, Uncle Sam, or the
state Of Alabama will have to plank
down the cash If they want the prop
erty
