A NOVEL SCHEME.
Sell Mckinley and Bryan Badges
to Dispose of His House.

John PIERCE, prominent citizen of
Sioux City, has adopted novel meth
cd of disposing of his magnificent
stone mansion on North Jackson
street. The home is undoubtedly the
handsomest and the most expensive
one in Sioux City, it having been
built few years ago when Sioux
City was in the midst of its boom
days that brought disaster afterward.
The home cost 100000. Mr.. PIERCE
lost heavily in the financial crash and
now deems his magnificent residence
too expensive for his income as real
estate agent. He and his wife have
interested that entire section of the
country in the scheme of purchasing
campaign badges of Mckinley or
Bryan and giving each purchaser of a
badge an opportunity of owning this
great mansion. Forty thousand of
these badges are to be disposed of at
one dollar each. 1t is hoped to make
| the home present to some one on the
night of the presidential election, No

SEED MEx AnE DRIVEN OUT.
NcN FIoridn Law Thnt Is Causing
Much Annoyance.

Tallahassee. Fla. Jan. 15.-An act passed
at the session Of the Florida Legislature
last May making il unlawful for any per
son or persons. firm or firms, or any one
doing business in Florida to sell or offer
for sale any garden, melon OF vegetable
seed. unless the original package in which
the same is enclosed or in which the seed
are sold shall have written or printed
thereon on the outside in plain letters a
guarantee as to when, where and by whom
an such seed Were grown, is having an

TO be a source of considerable annoyance
10 the farmers ana truckers throughout
the state.
One of the largest and most reputable
seed concerns that ever operated and re-
sided in Florida has been driven out Of the
state by the operation of this law. and has
very recently located in Atlanta, Ga. That
house has just addressed a circular 10 its
thousands of customers in which is found
the following paTagra phi, which expresses
the feelings regarding the new statute of

Most of our friends will be surprised
at tue change made Of our place Of bus
entire ignorance of the subject on which
il was legislating and without consulting
any one connected with the seed business,
passed a law for the regulation Of the seed
business within the state that no seed
house in the United States could honestly
comply with. This law simply affected
firms located in Florida and the ones To-
ca ted in other states are not affected by
It. Under these circumstances we were at
a serious disadvantage, and after due con-
sideration decided to remove our business
to a point where we could conduct le-
climate seed business without being
criminally liable No more foolish piece
of legislation ever disgraced the statute

he same law is proving a source of con-
fusi and trouble to drug stores and
merchants who buy seed in bulk at whole
sale from Northern and Western seed
houses by whom the seed are secured
from thousands of different growers so
that in the very nature Of things it is next
to an impossibility to honestly comply
with the provisions of the statute.
