Co-operators Aroused

According to the Pacific Fruit World, which cannot be suspected of bias as an ally of the growers against com mission men, "the war between the Sacramento River Cooperating Fruit Growers and the local commission men is growing in bitterness. It is re- ported that the commission men noti- fled the growers last week that they would permit them to continue in business if there was an absolute dis solution of their association"
 Commenting upon the brazen assur- ance thus displayed by the commission men, the Fruit World adds that "this ultimatum resulted in meeting of the Sacramento river growers Saturday afternoon, when resolutions were unanimously adopted stating that the farmers would stand by their associa- tion to the last extremity. It was declared that rather than be bulldozed as they expressed it, they would not send single crate of fruit or vege- tables to San Francisco. The growers say that the reason of the present war is that the commission men formed close ring to monopolize the fruit of the city to the exclusion of all others, with the result that they have dictated terms to producers and retailers alike, arbitrarily regulating prices and mak- ing the former stand the losses."
 We'll done for the co.operators! Of course the commission men want Gan absolute dissolution of the association oI co-operators."

Rear Admiral Coghlan to Take the

The London Daily Mail says the gov ernment has decided that the new South African colonies are to be requir- ed to pay $500, 900, ,OOO toward the cost of the South African war. The colon- ies are however, to be allowed ample time in which to make this payment
 It will not be collected until the ex- tension of trade and expansion of rev. enue permit. Consequently the loan will not be foated for two or three years. Mining profits will probably be taxed 10 per cent more than they were before the war, and money will also be obtained by granting all kinds of con- sessions and mineral rights.

Before they could move others fell upon tLem and in fifteen minutes persons were piled upon each other to a height of ten feet. This wall of struggling humanity blocked the entrance and the weight of 1900 persons was pushed against it. More than twenty persons lying on the steps underneath the heap of bodies died from suffocation.

CALIFORNIA LANDS
Spectators Grab at Least 250,000
 Acres

State Mineralogist Aubury makes the astonishing statement that during the last few months at least 250,000 acres of public land in the mineralized sections of California, and largely mineral in nature, have been gabbed by eastern speculators through the em- ployment of dummy locators. In the tacts thus secured are included many actual mineral claims, on which Cali fornia miners have located and have prepared to do the assessment work necessay to perfect title under the United States mining law.
 The speculators, Aubury says, are not even timber men. They have seen that there is great future for mining, and that the surface of California, having hardly been scratched over for gold and other metals, there are un- told millions of dollars awaiting the owners of these lands in the future. The Mineralogist therefore advocates having the public domain all withheld from timber entry in this state until there can be an inspection to deter mine how the lands should be properly classified, whether as timber, mineral or agricultural, and he will move in that direction.
 Complaints have been received in the office of the State Mineralogist from miners in the counties of Siski- you, Shasta, Sierra, Plumas, Stanis- laus, Tuolumne, Fl Dorado and Gala veras concerning the operations of the land grabbers in these counties. Hard

ship has been inflicted upon miners who are poor and to whom the filing of protest in land office of the United States means journey of scores of miles and the expenditure of many dollars.
 Auburry said that his first move would be to put in the field in the counties where the timber-claim specu- lators are operating all the field depu- ties the State Mining Bureau will per nit. Skilled men will be sent out with instructions to inquire carefully, and thoroughly in order that the facts relating to the several mining coun- tics may be put in his possession as promptly and as accurately as possi- ble. This mass of data will furnish the basis of the representations to be made to the General Land Office at Washington.

 The officers of the American Board of Foreign Missions have announced the receipt of $57 ,933, through the State Department at Washington. The amount is 25 per cent of the award made to the board by the commission now in session in China for losses on mission money, in the Boxer outrages of 1900.

Medicinal Qualities of Vegetables

A physician in Florida Farmer writes of the medicinal qualities of vegetables which George P. Hall sum- marizes for Fruit World, as follows:
 Parsnips are nutritious if used in the right season. after they begin 10 sprout in the spring, if left in the ground, both are somewhat poisonous. Both sweet and white potatoes are allied to severalsforceful narcotic plants and are ssleep- producers. Squash has great food value, similar to the sweet potato. Carrots are moderately nutri- tious, but are quite as good for poul tices to allay inflammation, as for food, whose chief use is by it's acids to aid digestion; use of carrots brings bril- liant eyes, glossy hair and clear com plexion. Cucumbers and muskmelons possess remedial qualities for rheu- matism their juices are emollient and soothing in lotions, cold cream or pomade. Asparagus is at the head of the list as a clearing agent for the kidneys.
 All varieties of the cabbage family contain good supplies of nitrogenous compounds, are mental and physical tonic, but unless eaten fresh, are diff cult to digest and have decided ten dency to produce fatulency. The com mon bean has decidedly the same ten- dency, but is more nutritious than wheat, but rather coarse food and diff cult to digest. Peas are equally nutritious and few appreciate the value of dry peas in "puree." Watercress is pungent, anti-corbutic properties. Radishes stimulate, tone and cleanse the system. Lettuce is healthful because easily digested, possessing laxa- tive and sleep producing properties and valuable for nervous people.
 Okra has soothing effect on the system. Parsley is a laxative. Spinach exerts strong influence over the lungs and liver, and it's seeds are used in the Orient to relieve in- famation and difficult breathing. The onion is purgative and should be used | frequently to cleanse the system; it especially promotes discharge from the mucous membrane, of the lungs and throat. Horse radsh is a good local stimulant, mental and physical tonic, and is beneficial in dropsy and rheumatism. Rhubarb is the most effective stomachic, strengthening the stomach, melting it to healthy action and is beneficial laxative.

The Stampede of Death

In an awful crush of humanity, caused by stampede in the Shiloh negro Baptist church at Avenue Gand Eighteenth street last Friday night, between sixty-five and seventy per sons were killed and as many more seriously injured. The catastrophe occurred at 9 o'clock, just as Booker T. Washington had concluded his address to the national convention of Baptists, and foi three hours the scenes around the church were indescribable. Dead bodies were strewn in every direc- tion and the ambulance service of the city was utterly unable to move them until after 1 o'clock. Dozens of dead bodies were arranged in rows on the ground outside of the house of worship awaiting removal to the various under taking establishments, while more than score lay on the benches inside.
 The church is the largest one for negroes in Birmingham and the pastor says there were at least 2000 persons in the edifice when the stampede be- gan. Instructions had been issued to allow no more to enter, but the negroes forced their way inside the building and were standing in every aisle. Even the entrance to the church was literal ly packed.
 Just as Booker T. Washington con- cluded his address, Judge Billou, a negro leader from Baltimore, engaged in an altercation with the choir leader concerning an unoccupied seat, and, it is said, blow was struck. Some one in the choir cried, "They e'fghting!"
 Mistaking the word Lighting" for "fire," the congregation rose en masse and started for the door. One of the ministers. quickly mounted the rostrum and admonished the people to keep quiet. He repeated the word "quiet" several times and motioned to his hearers to be seated.
 Again the excited congregation mis-
 
 took the word" .,"quiet" for "fire," and renewed the struggle to reach the door.
 Men and women crawled over benches and fought their way into the aisles, and those who had fallen were trampl- ed upon like cattle. The ministers tried again and again to stop the stam- pede, but no power on earth could stay the struggling, fighting mass of humanity. The screams of women and children added to the horror of the scene, and through mere fright many persons tainted and as they fell to the floor were crushed to death.
 The level of the floor is about fifteen feet from the ground and long steeps led to the sidewalk from the lobby just outside the main auditorium. Brick walls extend on each side of these steps for six or seven feet and these proved ver:table death trap. Negroes
