GENERAL TRADE.
Is Good and This City Feels the
the Prosperity of the Times.

The wave of prosperity is being per:
ceptibly felt in all trades and
branches of business in this city. There
has been no abatement in b favorable
conditions of general traded during the
past week.
The loaning demand for money has
increased and merchants and business
men generally recognize in this con-
dition substantial promise OF perman-
ence.
Collections are satisfactory, though
in August some sluggishness in this
respect was observed. There is a dis
position to close up old and
start out in a clean basis with the fall
trade.
The mining business in this section
has received q great impetus during
the past six months and the present
smelling facilities for handling ores
are totally inadequate.
At present the smelter is treating
over 600 tons of ore a day and every
ore bin is filled and all available is oc-
Shipments have been unusual
ly heavy. and shippers have to wait
and days before they can get any
returns from their ores.

Wit Lost His Case.

"The greatest orator 1 yer listened
to in my life was the late Daniel w.

sence, a great resonant bass voice and

The case dragged along in the courts I'M
til 1884, when it was finally passed upon by
ths United States Supreme Court United
States Senator George G. Vest and his law
partner, who is now Judge Phillips of the
United States Circuit Court, and John G.
Ferguson were attorneys for the people Of
St. Clair County in this long litigation.
This is the same Judge Phillips who has
been sending the Judges TO jail ever since
he got on the bensh ten years ago.
In all OF the litigation St. Clair County
lost, and still the people would not let
their County Judges levy tax 10 pay the
debt Some money which got into the
treasury for that purpose in tbs years 1913
to 1876 was used to buy il some bonds. IN
that way nineteen Of the $500 bonds were
bought and cancelled. There was a bal
ance Of 27,O00 in The Osceola Bank in the
bond fund, but the people would not con-
sent to let the 6ondhoIders nave even that.

the court and on the night of Nov. Z, 1870,
tho court met again.
Everybody N Osceola remembers the
date Of that meeting. 1t was held in the
rear Of Tom Monroe's drug store. Monroe
was the County Clerk. At that historic
meeting the bonds were ordered turned
over to the company. The member of the
company on the spot was P. \. Ladue,
and tradition las it that Mr.. Ladue left
Osceola IN the middle of the night with a
gripSack which was bulging out with
bonds.
It IS a matter Of recorded history that
some grading was done in the years 1871
and 1872. The next year the company fail
ed. The bonds We're in force still, and the
County Court was advised that It should
make q tax levy 10 pay them. It did make
a levy that year and every year after for
the next four years. The tax levy was
voted by the people and the taxes paid,
though not without mUrmurins.
In 1871. after the court had ordered the
levy. the people, by th-s time united IN the
belief that 10 pay any more taxes would
be to do themselves an injustice, concluded
they would see that no levy was made.
Thereupon they went ID the courthouse
ana got the court record and tore away the
page containing the order for the levy.
The next year a consolidated back tax
book was made out. 20 snow now many OF
The pr7Persy-7wners were delinquent on

cGsation against the Board of which
Or. Day is a distinguished member. It
does not indict the Legislature. for
when that body empowered the Board
. compel sanitation at the cost of the
owner of infected places; when it pour
ID out money for health precautions
with a prodigal hand, it did its full
duty and left its reputation free from
blame. The responsibility was then
with the Board of Health. How the
burden has been borne let the reports
o. the Health Inspectors and Of eye
witnesses declare. Chinatown is chok-
ed with disease breeding filth; indie
scribable rubbish was burning in the
streets as late as yesterday; on Queen
street near River is a fetid pond with
houses over and adjoining it and into
which waste pipes are pouring every
day,-a pond which could easily be
drained into the bay for temporary re-
Lief and then filed up at the owners
expense. Has any move been made by
the Board 10 compel such action? Not
a move. Instead we have DR.. Days
