Smash-Up of Mail Order House.

Federal Judge S. II. Bethea yester-
day appointed Edwin G. Day receiver
of the Cash Buyers Union First
National Cooperative Society. The
concern is a mammoth mail order
house of $4,000, 600 capital stock, sup
posed to be modelled after the Man.
chester cooperative society of Eng
land. It has stockholders among
farmers and laboring people throug h-
out the country. + The post
Office inspectors say that l,O27, 900
worth of common stock has been sold.
Julius Kahn, formerly with Sears,
Roebuck & Co., is president. Ad-
mitted liabilities are close to $500, 900,
and it is estimated that the merchan-
disc on hand is not worth more than
S150,000. The open bank account of
the society is $50.
Many complaints have been made
to the postofice department. about the
society. Inspector Stuart was advised
from Washington to make careful
investigation. The society was incor-
porated three years ago in New Jersey
with a capital stock of $4,000, 900.
The advertising was extensive at first,
100000 being spent in circulating
catalogues. Stock amounting to
Sl,027, 900 was sold through the mails.
The stockholders paid $40 share.
They were told that a 10 per cent
dividend would be paid each year and
that stockholders would receive 5
per cent discount on all purchases
made and per cent commission on
all sales made to customers.
The inspectors discovered that of
the 81, OPT, 900 received from the sale
of stock, 100000 from sales of
goods during the last year, and thou
sands of dollars received in other
ways, all that the society now holds
is placed at a high valuation by the
postofice men at 100000. The re-
ceipts of the company during January
and February are placed at $3.50, 900.
Many orders have not been filled and
many employees have not been paid.
The rent of the building is S35, 900
year, and there are $50 employees.
The prospectus of the scheme was
alluring, \
''The money has been expended in
carrying on and increasing the bust
ness. An issue of several hundred
thousand catalogues, costing us
about 81 apiece, is made twice year.
There are numberless expenses in
reaching our customers. Chicago

ANOTHER LETTER

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis. April 80, 'o6
In writing up country it is the
usual practice to dress the good
looking facts in their Sunday
clothes and parade them before the
world. The ugly facts, those with
dirty faces, and which do not keep
step with the procession, are
usually left in the background.
Paint me as l am" said Crom-
well. | have attempted to paint
the territory that l travel over as
it is, as it appears to me. Born
and reared in the north, it is quite
natural to assume the superiority
of the north in all things. In
travelling through the south it
must be viewed in the proper
spirit. 1t must not be SET up in
mind against any other part of our
country. 1t must be taken for all
that it represents from the point of
view exclusively It's own. One
must carry in mind the facts as he
travels from state to state amid
surroundings rich in historical
