After the brigadier had declared

moved to lot II, block 4. This lot
was started at $3.50, and was knocked
down to VIM g. Frank, the Spring
field banker, who paid 5000 for it.
This was the highest price paid for
a lot in Clements, Notwithstanding
the fact that the crowd was even
larger than at Milroy. Certain in
terests that were at Milroy and at
Clements got together, it seems,
and agreed not to bid the amounts
offered at Milroy, and their agree
ment was kept pretty well through
out the day.

ed in its columns on the telephone
fight. 1t was in the early days Of this
same year that the Hon. Marcus A.
Hanna was elected to the L. s. Senate,
an office almost as important as that
of the City Clerk, and the charge was
openly made that his election was Sc
cured by means somewhat similar to
those that the "B. j." says were EN-
ployed by Mr.. Isbell.
1t was also whispered in and about
Akron at the time the telephone fight
was on, that the "B. J.'s' attitude
thereto was largely influenced by the
fact that some of those most closely
connected with one of the compan-
les seeking franchise had rendered
valuable, and not to be forgotten, aid
in destroying evidence that II permit
ted to become public would have made
it very uncomfortable for those In
charge of Mr.. Hanna's campaign.
Now, if Mr.. Isbell secured his 'elec-

the Senate in that way-he certainly

Council took the advice of the Boil
ing Jawsmith,' and refused to re.
elect Il Republican City Clerk by the
aid of Democratic votes, that spotless,
incorruptible sheet hus been waiing,
gnashing it's teeth, and tearing its

fused to elect the Il. D." candidates,
by any kind of votes, but did re-elect
to that responsible position bright,
capable young Democrat, who had
made an enviable record by filling the
Office as well if not better than it had
ever been filled before.
The Boiling Jawsmith" says that he
was elected by fraud and bribery, and
consequently he has no legal right to
the office, and in the name of common
decency ought to resign. AS your
"Wise and Otherwise" man says:
"What Jckeness!" especially coming
from such a source as the ''B. j." The
giver of this piece of excellent advice
ought to be more familiar with the
back files of his own papers. Can it
be that this is the same man who had

Beef Trust In
Toledo.
Heavy Fines Paid by
Members
Who on Any Occasion Reduce
the Price Of Meat.

Toledo, O., May 6-Some persons
have at times doubted the autbenti.
city OF the statement that there is a
meat trust In Toledo. for six weeks
ago there was a superHuity Of beef in
this city. Retail butchers had land
ed on a good thing up in Michigan in
the way Of all unlimited drove OF cat
tie. They were purchasing cattle in as
large quantities as they desired, and
the price they paid was so reasonable
that they were In n position to under
sell the big meat supply houses of this
city.
Instantly there was CONSERVATION
among the big chaps. The butchers
were numerous and gradually the in
formation leaked. 1t became known
to the wholesale people that number
Of farmers in Michigan were selling
beef to Toledo butchers at ridicu-
lous rate from their standpoint.
Into town came the representative
of big Chicago packing house-which
incidentally is largely represented in
Toledo. He hied himself out of town.
and reaching down into the pocket of
the trust, he purchased from the farm
ers every hoof in the community. The
butchers of Toledo who were buying
cheap and selling the same way
couldn't buy another COW for love or
money. Michigan had been cleared in
that section, and the price in town
went up to where the trust wanted it
to remain.
The four big wholesale houses in
the city who control the business are
Nelson, Morris & Co., Armour, Swift
& Co., ard Hammond. These firms
have denied from Chicago that there
is a combination of interests. In To-
ledo the four firms have appointed an
arbitrator in the person of Bernard
Brough, United States Commissioner,
The duty of the arbitrator is to set,
tie every difference arising in the
four houses.
The managers, from their own pock-
cts, have posted $50 each in common
pool. When one of these managers
is caught by the others selling pound
of beef or anything else, below the
price agreed upon by the four, lie is
fined the $50, which is divided among
the other three. He Immediately posts
another $50. In this way no house
can undersell the others that is II
the transaction becomes public.
Information from the same gentle,
man whose intimate acquaintance
with things bovine, and 9th
erwise, gives him peculiar ability
to speak, is to the effect that Ar
mour has cornered the celery market
in Toledo, bringing all the celery sold
in town from California. No one else
can compete. Not satisfied with beet
and celery, the same firm had strong
corner on apples until recently, and
no one else had a chance.
Potatoes We're also brought into To
ledo by Armour & Co., but as the de
nand in this vicinity was equaed by
the supply, he couldn't have been said
to have n corner on the product.
Over at the Armour house, one car
purchase a five or ten gallon can ol
eggs. The whites or yolks have beer
frozen and stored away in cans ant
are sold to the consumers.

A Prominent Clergyman Tells How

When spring comes with its gentle
showers. its balmy air, its bright sun
shine and bursting buds, 1t too often
brings to our homes scenes Of suffer-
ing and physical decay.
The seeds of disease which were
imperceptibly terminating during the
winter months, have developed and
planted In the system dangers that
now call for instant care and atten.
ton. Neglect and procrastinatlon will
only deepen existing perils and lead
to death.
Before the advent Of spring, YOU
must have noted symptoms, perhaps OF
indigestion. dyspepsia, rheumatism,
neuralgia, kidney disease, liver com.
plant, functional Irregularities, or ner'
vous disorders.
Take warning sufferers. the symp-
toms you experience are signals Of
disease. Delay not another day; hesi.
tation and indicision on your part
may forever seal your fate. II you
have already made efforts to Danish
your troubles by the use of other medi-
cines and the trea atment of physicians

| to put your full trust in that great

GOVERNOR RECEIVES LETTER
FROM GERMANY.
MEN SERVING I'M WAUPUN
Woman Relative in the Fatherland
Writes to Secure Release of Her
man and Otto Schwarz, Saying Her
Husband and Another Man Did the
Burglary.
Madison. Feb. x

Madison, Feb. &c
Are Herman and Otto Schwarz who
are serving four-year terms in the
state prison at Waupun under convic-
ton of burglary, paying the penalty Oh
other mems crimes?
This is the question raised by let
ter Just received by Gov. La Toilette
from Cassel, Germany, bearing the
signature of Mrs. Wilhelm Schwarz,
relative of the condemned men, by
marriage. who says that her husband
and his brother-in-law are the real
criminals, and that she cannot rest
easy, knowing that others are suffer
ing for their sins. The letter was
written January 2, but on account OF
the uncertain address on the envelope
it went to the dead letter Office, and
did not reach the governor until day
or two ago. 1t is written in German
and as translated is as follows:
II cannot rest until have told you
what happened with my husband IN
America. He went to America, but
was there only short time. During
his stay there his brOther-in-law,
Brilig, took him along one night to
break into a store. They took some
goods out of the store, but were
caught by the police. His brother-ln-
law, Brilig, escaped, but my husband
and his two brothers were arrested.
Ny husband got free, but his two
brothers were convicted, but they are
innocent, as they took no part in the
robbery.
'Now if you will do justice to them,
investigate the matter. With my best
regards, Mrs. William Schwarz.
Nothing is said in the letter as to
where or when the crime was commit
ted. but the records in the office OF
the board of control show that Her.
man and Otto Schwarz were sent up
from Sheboygan county September %,
1901, for four years, for burglary.
They are undoubtedly the men to
whom the letter has reference.
The reply to Mrs Schwarz will be
that the only method of securing the
release of the condemned men, If they
are innocent, is through regular ap-
plication for pardon, as prescribed by
law. One of them has been in this
country but short time, and it is not
known whether they have relatives in
the state who will interest themselves
in the matter.

Miss Stone Receives Callers.

Strumitza, Macedonia, Feb. 90
Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka are quar-
tered at the residence of M. Kimoff,
Protestant pastor, where they greeted
M. Gargiulo and Mr.. House, mission
airy, with considerable emotion. Here
they presented Nine. Tsilka's baby.
During the last fortnight of their
captivity the women travelled in the
mountains. They were hidden in the
day time and hurried along at night,
blindfolded and on horseback. Upon
one occasion Miss Stones horse fell
and she was thrown to the ground,
but escaped with badly bruised
knee. The women are making dresses
for themselves and the baby. When
they were found they were clad in ma
tive costumes and shepherds cloaks.
The baby had no proper clothes, but
was swaddled in pieces of rough ma
terial such as mountaineers use for
leggings. The baby has not suffered
from the rigors of the winter.
