Rice RIiIIers Combine.

or all the combines in the world
none are half as bad as those tina
Cypress the poor hard working plan
ter, and we believe it our duty tc
tell the people what we know O
such organizations.
One of tho worst of these combines
is now at work 10 New Orleans and
as it effects this section of the coun-
try more than any other our people
are the worst suffers. The conbina.
ton Of which we speak is among the
rice millers and shippers of the cres-
cent city. We have been reliably
informed that these people have
personally agreed among themselves
to hold the price of rough rice down,
and to do it they use various meth
DDS, among which is to import rice
from foreign countries at an advance
over the home product. We see
from the reports that the demand for
both rough and clean rice is good
bot the price still remains low.
Why ia it thus? OF corse we NAV
have been wrongly informed about
this combination, but we believe the
report to be true, and We also believe
that it is time to make a move to
break it up. A better patronage of
the home mills would help to do this
besides the farmers should be slow
in putting their rice on the market.
Let buyers come here for product
and in our opinion it will command
} better price. We have ample
warehouse room, and as long as the
stands as it is farmers should
not be in a hurry to sell.-Tribune.

much damage. The new coast defenses
of the island of Heligoland in the
North sea were demolished and the

Sinclair said that the motive for his
crime was his desire to obtain money
to pay his passage back to the United

Later reports from the city of Ham,

erty there to the value of six million
marks has been destroyed by the re-

following, taken from our foreign re-

a little more: ''In the United States in

a village of Chinese stormed and burn

eight were killed, fifteen wounded,
fourteen were burned to death, mostly
sick men, and the dogs and the hogs
ate the charred corpses. The whole
population stood by and approved, and
a fruitless inquest followed For this
we paid $423,O00. Sept. 7, 1884, at Seat
