shippers Received Rebates.

KANSAS CITY, May 23.-Testimony
OF unusual interest was brought GU,
this afternoon in the Huntington re.
bate trial. The principal witnesses
today were G. A Barton, a shoe man:
&. w. Taylor Of a furniture company:
E. w. Frey schlag of the FreyschalQ
company, all Of thisj city: Walter
kelby OF New York, clerk in 1904 and
1905 for Thomas, a New York freight
broker who is one of the accused.
The testimony showed the firms
stated received large sums of money
from mysterious ources after freight
bills had been paid; sometimes in ex.
press packages, always from New
York, but none knew who sent it. On
the stand Freyschlag frankly referred
to an agreement with Thomas whereby
his firm was to receive 25!per cent re-
bates on freight bills, and told how
money was deposited in New York to
the firms credit by:one J Jackson, whom
he did not know. He could not re.
member whether he or Thomas had
the use Of the name. At
hrst he said that the idea was his, but
on alton, he changed,
and said that he did moi remember.
De admitted that the name was used
to hide "this business" a term all the
witnesses tod ay employed.

Ferris Wheel Is Wrecked.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Blown to pieces
oy a monster charge OF dynamite, the
Ferris wheel came to an ignominious
end at st Louis, after a varied career
OF Is years, and its ending was I'm.
wept and unsung. Constructed as one
OF the engineering feats of the century.
the wheel first was a feature of the
Chicago worlds fair in 1898.
Then, after a long period of monu-
mental and Improbable inactivity in
Amusement park, at North Clark
street and Wright Wood venue. it
finally was removed to St. Louis to
form for the second time the huge
mechanical marvel of a great exposi.
ton. For more than.a month heavy
wagons laden with the $500 tons of
stee! for its construction, numbered
through Chicago's streets.
The wheel was the wonder of two
continents, by reason of its cost of
$3.50, 200, its dimensions, and its utter
us~elessness. 1t was:the rival of the
Eiffel tower of Paris. Chicago was
glad to get rid Of it, and ST.. Louis ia
said to have witnessed its destruction
with satisfaction.

index.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Rainey OF

that the watch manufacturers of the

abroad.
Today in the house, Charles B.

ting that American manufacturers had
q price al home and another
abroad: and he defended the practice
as in accord with good business

sold their wares for less prices abroad
than at home.
Mr.. Landis also paid some atten.
ton to a speech made by Bourke
Cochran, wherein the latter denounced
the policy of protectionSas one of pub.

GOOD CROPS.
The Upper PeninsuIar Raises Great
Quantity Of Barley.

With every year the acreage or bar
lev planted in the upper peninsula, Is
increased. The territory is especially
we'll fitted by nature to produce TINS
grain to perfection. The superior
mailing, qualities of Michigan barley
have long been recognized by the brew
ers of the country, and in consequence
the highest market prices are paid Tor
the barley grown in this region.
All Menominee county records were
eclipsed this fall by the crop Of Peter
Anderson, farmer living near wal
lace. Anderson, according to tie certi-
fed statement of the thrashing crew,
thrashed the remarkable amount or 81
IL bushels OF barley from one and one
quarter acres of land, which had been
seeded with ony two bushels or the
grain. This is an extraordinary rec
ord, and is taken to indicate that the
upper peninsula will be the principal
barley-producing region of the United
States in the future.
Barley forms an important p2't III
the rotation OF crops of the sugar beet
grower. 1t reaches its highest perfec-
ton after a crop of sugaS beets, and
will serve as a nurse crop for clover
which in the second year should be
plowed under, making an excellent Ter
tilizer and fitting the soil for corn or
sugar beets.

Frost, Snow and Damage.

From Benton Harbor comes the re-
port that thousands OF baskets OF
grapes were frozen on the vines by the
frost Wednesday night. Water froze to
the thickness of quarter OF an incn
and grapes are ruined and apples and
pears damaged. Many grape vineyards
had not been picked, the owners hold
ing on for higher price. The loss will
be heavy. The ground is still covered
with snow to depth of several
inches.
The first frost last year was on Oc-
tober %.
The oldest inhabitant of this re-
gion," says a Ludington dispatch,
stands aghast at the spectacle OF eight
inches of snow on the ground on DC
tober 10. The trees still have green
leaves and with their white burden re-
semble growths of evergreens in win
ter. Sleigh bells are jingling merrily
on the streets, and to all appearances
winter has really begun.
There is great loss to fruit growers
around about Fonville by the freeze.
The mercury is down to IA degrees.
Apples on trees are frozen nearly solid
and only fit for cider. Less than one
third of the crop had been picked.
Grapes and late peaches are frozen
and a total loss.
The heaviest frost ever known al
this season of the year occurred Wed
nesday night. Branch county's fine ap-
pie crop is practically ruined, nearly
all the apples were frozen on the trees
few having been picked.
Republic reports a fierce snow storm
raging for two days. 1t is the earliest
snow storm for years.
The ground in Marquette is covered
by nearly one foot of snow. Runners
are displacing wheels.
The temperature in Vandalia was
to 10 degrees above zero. Apples and
potatoes are frozen. Eighteen inches OF
snow has fallen in two days. The loss
will reach thousands.

"One reason why New York women
are the neatest in the world" said the
buyer for a Pittsburg notion and dry
goods house, lis the fact that they use
fewest pins. Apparently buttons,
hooks and eyes, and tape performs the
job of fastening their garments pretty
thoroughly. Strange to say, it is in
boston that the pin trade flourishes
most abundantly. Women buy more
pins there, according to the popula
ton, than any other city in the coun
try. That habit does not speak well
for Boston, remarks the Pittsburg Dis.
patch. The pin habit is inimical to
tidiness. That is the reason that New
York women are so spick and span
they use few pins. They have not, to
be sure, reached the state of excel.
Ience attained by the Chinese, who
taboo pins altogether, but they are
nearer that standard than any other
community"
