LIVELY CRACKER WAR.
Armour and Pullman Underselline
the Trust.

Kansas City, June 4.-There has been
such a bewildering series of manipu-
latiOns of the cracker market in the
last few months that dealers have
been greatly puzzled to account for the
condition of affairs, but the secret now
| seems to be out at last.
1t appears that P. D. Armour and
G.. NJ. Pullman are the forces now con-
trolling the cracker market and they
have evidently manipulated it to
their own great profit.
Up to the time of the Moore Brothers
failure in Chicago there was an under
standing existing between the New
York Biscuit company and the United
States Baking company and the Amer
lean Biscuit and Manufacturing COM
pany.
Moore Brothers controlled the New
York Biscuit company. Their failure
practically threw Moore Brothers en-
tire holding in the New York Biscuit
company into the hands of Pullman
and Armour. For obvious reasons the
sleeping car nagnate and the million
aire packer did not care to appear pub
1icIy as the directors and controlling
powers of the New York Biscuit COM
pany. Both of these men, and Geo. NJ
Pullman particularly, had incurred the
diSpleaSure OF wage earnerS all over
the country on account of their con-
nectiOn with trusts. Accordingly, Mr..
Pullman is represented in the New
York Biscuit company by his sOn-in-
law, Mr.. James LOWden, who is attOr-
ney and director of the New York Bis
cult company. Mr.. Armour's interest
is represented Mr.. Charles Webster, a
relative, who is also a director.
AS soon as Armour and Pullman
gained control they cut the prices of
crackers. This cut was met by the
American Biscuit and Manufacturing
company and the United States Baking
company. They have fought it out ev-
er since, but now it is claimed Armour
and Pullman are weary, and prices
have advanced. The price of crackers
is still 1ac per pound less than when
pected that Armour and Pullman will
soon take another whack at their COM
petitOrS.

BUGS TAKEPHILADELPHIA
Brand New Kind of Vermin Imported
From South America.

Philadelphia, June 4-The British
brig Darpa, which arrived here from
Buenos Ayres, has brought a brand new
kind Of bug. The insect which now
hOvers around the locality of the bone
wharves, is a novelty to even the steve
dOres, who have become accustomed to
seeing all sorts of vermin brought in
among the South American bones.
The bug is described to resemble
closely the black ant but has wings and
flies about like the ordinary house fly
which infests these localities.
Capt Bradley tells a story of misery
on board the Darpa while in the tropics
by reason of this Odd-lOoking bugamOng
the cargo. He said that at one time
while foundering about becalmed in
latitude % north this peculiar vermin
came up from below and almost drove
the men from the deck The bugs flew
about and crawled all over the men, and
the sailor at the wheel was almost
blinded by their flying into his eyes. 1t
was sickening sight, and every eff
fort to keep them below proved futile,
no relief coming until the Darpa enter
ed the northern ATTITUDES, when the
cold weather drove them back again,

PROTEST AGAINST 6. A. R.
United Confederate Veterans Camp
Dislikes to Fraternizs With Them.

Admission, Ala.,June Camp Pelham
No. 258, United Confederate Veterans,
at a meeting last night adopted reso-
lutions and prepared an address to be
sent to every camp in the association,
protesting against inviting G. A. R.
men to the reunions, annual and other
wise.
The address, which was prepared and
submitted by Commander F. NJ. Hight
is quite lengthy and sets forth that the
objects of the association are to Sc
cure a truthful story of the part ta-
ken by the confederate army in the
war between the states, the political in
cidents leading up to the secession of
the states and that the whole scheme
of the united confederate organization
is bound up in the confederate idea; /;
hence, a union soldier can have no sort
of sympathy with the objects of the as
sociatiOn.
The protest is not based upon hate of
men who wore the blue, but upon the
truth that the annual reunions of the
confederate soldiers is for a purpose
that ought to be held sacred. and the
meeting should be a close communion
to which only the faithful should be
admitted; that the ovation and cheer
ing given to northern soldiers has been

THEY SAY SUCH TEIN7s
And They Do such Things. ,,

A number of instances have appeared
where gTocers have been induced to buy
this or that cereal coffee at low price,
to put in to their customers as just as
good" as Postum" and these fraud
ulent limitations have the effect at
times of disgusting users with the re-
result of their efforts to secure a health
full and nourishing grain coffee. There
is but one original and genuine Pos
tum." DO not let the grocer impose
upon you.
A reliable grocer will never offer a
cheap or weak imitation OF a genuine
original article because he happens to
make a little extra profit. But it is
well to observe that when genuine Pos
tun Cereal coffee is ordered, that you
get Postum and not a spurious imita-
ion offered as just as good
