FLEECE THE FARMERS.
Many Outgamie County Changers
Pay Big Prices for Cloth
Bolts.

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 1O.-[Special.] i
The clothing sharks who operated in
this country last week caught numerous
farmers with their oft-exposed game,
and among them was an assemblyman-
elect. The scheme of the operators was
to sell to farmers bundle of shoddy
cloth. enough to make up into two suits
of clothes and two oyercoats, together
with a lot more of cheap truck. The
whole outfit was worth atE liberal esti-
mate So and for it the 4Windlers got
$S5, with the understanding that the
goods should be made up into clothes
without extra cost by the tailors OF
a company in Chicago who were repre-
sented to be at the Sherman house
in this city. All buyers were instruct
ed not to bring in their cloth to be
made up before Monday, as the tailors
would be too busy to attend to it before
that time. From some of the dupes the
swindlers got the amount in cash, but
most of them gave notes for the amount.
These notes were discounted at the banks
the country. Monday the duped farm
ers began to come in to get their cloth
made up, and of course found no tailors
at the Sherman house as represented.
Then the game dawned upon them and
a howl has gone up from all over the
county. Every day brings a fresh relay
of victimized farmers into town looking
for the tailors, and every day the howl
increases. There seems to be no reme-
dy for the victims The ''clothiers" are
out of reach and the notes being III
the hands of innocent parties will
have to be paid.

This Connection.

Garcia, Rabi and Riviera Mentioned in
This Connection.
New York, Dec 10.-If the report of
Gen. Maceo's death proves true the Gu
ban provisional government will have to
appoint successor to the rank of leu
tenant-genaral at once so as to continue
the campaign of the insurgents in Pinar
del Rio, before the men are disorgan-
lied.
Most prominent of those spoken of
as Maceo's successor is Maj.-Gen. Ca
lixto Garcia now IN charge of the OPP
erations in Santiago province. Gen.
Jesus Rabi and J. Ruis Rivera are also
said to be worthy of filling the next high
est rank in the Cuban army to COM
mander-in-chief
Gen. Garcia is considered by Cubans to
be one of their best men. He is cordially
hated by the Spaniards, who regard him
as one of SPANS bitterest enemies and a
fearless fighter. In the ten-year rebel
lion. lasting from 1868 to 1878, Gen. Gar
cil served in the same rank as he occu-
pies in the present war. Gen. MaceO
served under him. He there distinguished
himself for his bravery and year after
peace had been declared he organized
another revolution, but the attempt failed
and the scheme was abandoned.
Gen. Jesus Rabi was III the previous
revolution under the command of Gen.
Garcia. but on the death of Maj Gen.
Jose Maceo, was appointed to his place.
Gen. J. Ruis RIVERA is now in Pinar
del Rio and has been fighting under Ma
Geo. He also fought in the ten years
wan.
