ITS OFFICE CLOSED
Claimed That Banana Trust
Lost Money Here,
COMPETITION WAS STRONG
Alleged That Business was
Not as Expected,
COMPETITION WAS STRONG

The Eagle IS informed that the branch
house Of the banana trust which began
business in this city some i've months
ago, has closed its office and the bust
ness for this territory viii &c done ele-
where. It is alleged by those on the in
side that the competition of the local
firms was partially the cause Of the trust
calling of the branch house for this ter
rltory. This coupled with numerous losses
It is said, is accountable for the with
drawal Of the house.
During the time that the house was in
operation here, some thirty cars Of bana-
mas were shipped into this city for dis
tribuuon. Some OF the cars are said 10
have been in bad condition and this
caused much loss. The wholesale houses
that is, a number Of them, did not take
supplies from the house and continued to
sell bananas purchased elsewhere and
compete with them for business.
Immediately after the opening Of the
branch house here, the wholesale men
claim that the trust lowered the price to
Of the produce men quit selling other
bananas and patronized the tust entirely.
Other firms refused to Go this and met
the cut in price. This warfare was kept
Up for some time, the produce men say,
and finally the price came back to where
it should have been according to Quota
tons.
After running for some months and los
ing money, the management Of the house
made a report. it is said. to have the
auditor to come and check them UP.
Those who are on the inside state that
the auditor reported that the house had
lost the trust sevsaI thousand dollars.
Just what the correct amount was IS not
known. The Office furniture was adver-
tised for sale and the business closed
out
The local banana dealers have con-
tinued their trade and have paid no par
ticular attention to the branch house, ex-
cept to meet its price whenever there was
a change. The going out OF business of
the branch house Of the trust will not
have any effect on the other firms. only
that it viii enlarge their wholesale trade
on bananas to a certain extent
The dealers state the cause of the clos
ing Of the house IS due more to Ill luck
than anything else SO much Of the fruit
coming in here that could not be used
may have had something to DO with it
and then again the fact that local men
put up such a stiff fight and that the tade
that they expected to get held eff, may
have had much to Go with the matte.
It is true that there are many bananas
used over Wichita's territory. but owing
to the fact that he trade was divided up
between the wholesale houses Of this city
may have been one Of the causes for
the closing out Of the business.
Whether an attempt to establish an
other branch in this city viii be made
witbin the next year or so IS not known
by the produce men, and since their ex-
perience in trade competition in this city,
they do not gay very much attention to
the doings of the banana trust.
The branch house was located in the
wholesale district and had room especially
fitted no for their business.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
a New, EReeIusl and Convenient Cure
For Catarrh


For Catarrh.
OF catarrh remedies, there is no end,
but Of catarrh cures, there has always
been a great scarcity. There are many
remedies 10 relieve but very few that
really cure.
The old practice Of snufing salt water
through the nose would often relieve and
the washes. douehes. powders and inhal-
ers In common use are very little, II any,
better than the old fashioned salt water
douche
The use Of inhalers and the application
Of salves, washes and powders to the
nose ard throat to cure catarrh is no
mora reasonable than TO rub the back to
cure kidney disease. Catarrh is Just as
much blood disease as kidney trouble
or rheumatism and It can not be cured
by local treatment any more than they
can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal antiseptic
treatment is necessary to drive the ca
tarrhal poison out Of the blood and sys-
TEN. and the new catarrh cure is de-
s.gned on this plan and the remarkable
success OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is
because being used internaIly.it drives out
catarrhal infection through action upon
stomach, liver and bowels.
Vim. Zimmerman Of st. Joseph, relates
an experience with catarrh which is OF
value to millions of cstarrh sufferers
everywhere He says: 81 neglected a
slight nasal catarrh until it gradually ex-
tended to my throat and bronchial tubes
and finally even my stomach and liver
became effected, but as I was able to
run along until my hearing began to fail
me and then I realized that I must get
rid Of catarrh or lose my position as I
was a clerk and my hearing was absolute
ly necessary
Some of my friends recommended an
inhaler. another a catarrh salve but they
were no good IN my case, nor was any
thing else until I heard OF Stuarts Ca
tarnh Tablets and bought a package at
my drug store. They benefited me from
the start and in less than four months
I was completely cured OF catarrh al
though I had suffered nearly all my life
from It.
They are pleasant to take and so much
more convenient to use than other ca
tarrh remedies that feel 1 can not
say enough in favor Of Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets
little book on cause and cure Of ca
tarrh VIII be mailed free by addressing
T. A Stuart Co. Marshall Mich. and
the tablets are sold by all druggists IN
the United States and Canada.
