Big Combine to Extend to
Pacific Coast.
What Was Learned About the
New Scheme Here.
Officials OF Trust In New York Will
Make No Admission.

rAN FRANCISCO, April 3.--The Chronicle
there will have been consummated here
and in Portland consolidation of the
Pacific coast branches of four of the lar
gest rubber boot and shoe manufacturing
concerns In the United Stat es-tbe Good
year Rubber Company,..the Boston Rub
Der Shoe Company, the Woonsocket Rub
ber Company and the Bowers Rubber
Company, as agreed for the Candee line
will work trust In the rubber boot and
shoe trade on the Pacific coast and will
make the combine dictators In the rub
ber boot and shoe market.
This combine will be known as the
United States Rubber Company, and will
be in reality the Pacific coast branch Of
the corporation of that name which has
existed for the past three years In cities of
the east.
dispatch from New York says: "The
New York rubber houses mentioned in q
dispatch from San Francisco as combin-
ing their separate agencies on the Pacific
coast into one and forming what will In
reality be Pacific coast branch Of the
Eastern Rubber Trust operating under the
name OF the United States Rubber Com
pany, are unwilling TO admit that there
10 any truth In the report. AT the head
quarters of the combine 1t Is stated that
they can give no confirmation of the re-
port.
Mr.. w. 8. Ballou, general selling agent
for the Woons ocket Rubber Company, is
said to be the man who knows most about
the combine OF rubber boot and shoe man
ufacturers on the Pacific coast. He Is In
the West, partly on that business, and
will return in two or three weeks.
At Mr.. Banigan's Office, however,
ii was stated that the consolidation has
probably not been consummated, but
will be very soon. 1t will involve no new
capital, but is purposed to condense the
business of the four agencies mentioned
in the San Francisco dispatch. The
home officers of all the companies are in
the East, and the Western move is, as
stated, for q simpler conduct of the
business, especially in San Francisco and
Portland, Ore. e&

NEVER HEARD OF 1T.
What Secretary Lamont Says About
Cleveland's Alleged Letter.

CIeveland's Alleged Letter.
WASHINGTON, April s.-Secretary La
mont, when asked concerning published
statement that he had In his possession
letter from President Cleveland, declining
to be candidate for the presidency, and
urging the Democratic party to stand
for sound money and its previous position
on the tariff question, said that the state
ment was absolutely untrue. The secre-
tary added: "I have never heard of such
q letter."
From another and unquestionably ex-
cellent source OF information IL is learned
that the published statement is abso-
iutely without foundation and that no
such letter has been written by the Presi-
dent. The fact that President Cleveland
had fully decided not TO be a candidate
for denomination and that Secreatry Car
Isle would go before the Chicago con-
vention as an aspirant for the Democratic
nomination, was announced exclusively
by The Associated Press few weeks ago,
but the matter has not yet gone beyond
the lines then indicated.

S6.1, 6.1 above normal.
With the exception of local
shower of so of an inch, at

the afternoon of the 2nd, not a
drop of rain is reported from
any section. The sky has been
practically cloudless all week,
a few cumulus clouds only on
afternoon of 2nd.
This has been an unusually
severe week on all crops. Hot
winds throughout southern and
greater portion of eastern and
central sections, have almost
ruined late corn, burned up the
grass and wilted all vegetation.
Cotton throughout the south
ern and eastern sections is re-
ported to be very seriously
damaged by the hot winds; it is
shedding badly and the outlook
is discouraging.
Throughout Lincoln and Pot
tawatomie, the two best cotton
counties of Oklahoma, central
section) no injury is yet report
ed to the crop. On the contrary
it has done well during the
week, the ground still being
comparatively moist from rains
OF former week which did not
reach south and east.
Late corn, grass and all late
crops except cotton, Kaffir and
sorghums have greatly suffered
throughout central section. The
hot winds did not to any dam
aging extent extend into the
northern and western sections,
and while rain is needed for late
crops, yet thus far they have
done fairly well.

TlA1SNlLLEs l. l., aug. =.
The weather is very dry and
hot. Everything nearly in the
way of vegetation is burn
ing up from the effects of the
scorching sun and the awfully
hot winds. Stock water is very
scarce and the grass outside of
pastures is all gone.
Cotton is sorry, the boil
worms and the dry weather
have cut cotton far short of
former expectations.
Health generally, is very
good.
Z. p. Boatright happened to
a very serious accident today.
His team ran away with the
wagon, throwing him out and
turning the wagon over. He
was terribly bruised and skin
ned up. He was picked up and
carried III, apparently, lifeless.
The runaway took place about
- O'Clock in Raysville, he was
thrown from the wagon near
Milt Boatright's and carried in
there. DIR. Gardner and many
friends did all they could to re-
lieve the pain and bind up the
bruises and by sundown he was
able to walk home, a distance
of about 500 yards.
f. p. Dean is having more
bad luck. \ short time since
he had $1,000 saddle stolen
from him, since that time one
of his horses has died and an
other sick, and it looks like that
it is trying to die.
The Methodist fraternity had
a great revival a short time
since, Rev. Brightman of Dur
wood. preacher in charge; Rev.
\. X. Miller of Mannsville, as
sisted in the meeting. There
were quite a number visiting
here then.

Stonewall visiting his parents.
Mr.. VIII Hendricks accompan-
led Mr.. CHM; it is not too early
to say that Mr.. Hendricks was
visiting his parents.
h. l.. Brazil and wife have
gone to Cumberland Hill with

turned from a visit TO her faith
