BUMPER CROP
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS PEACHES
DRUG ON MARKET.
Growers Send I'm Care of Express
Company TO Sell at Any Price
II Can Get.

The peach crop in southern Hi
nois this year is a record breaker
and peaches are being sold, by whole
sale. at low prices. The American En-
press company is large distributor
Of these peaches without seeking the
business. The big growers in Oceona,
ILL.,, simply send a load of peaches to
this city in care of the express com
pany with orders to sell them for
what IL can get and refund them all
over the express charges. The ex-
press company sells them to the 10
cal wholesale dealers at whatever
prices il can get. Yesterday con
signment of peaches, containing l9a
baskets, were received on this ba'
sis. Such a policy only is pursued b,
the growers when the crop is Sc
large that II is preferable TO gorge
the market to allowing them to ro'
on the trees.

Is NO CONSPIRACY
SAYS Mr., THOMPSON
Refutes Allegations Of Credit.
Ors Of RehkOpf Concern.
Says Money Was Loaned ON Proper
ly Signed Warehouse Receipts
Of O'Brien.
BANK IS DONE AN INJUSTICE

Gan the truth in the assignment
OF the Il. Rehkopf Saddlery compa-
ny Is bound to come out at the trl-
ais" said George c. Thompson. pres
tdent OF the American-German bank,
but In the meantime the publica-
ton OF all these vitrlollc charges In
the petitions OF suing creditors re-
fleets on the bank. We are not en-
gagged In a conspiracy. and a little
thought will demonstrate how fsol-
ish would be such conduct on our
part. Moreover, the bank is secured
for every dollars worth the Reh-
kopf saddlery company is indebted
TO IL.
The creditors. who are trying TO
Involve us. simply extended credit
at their own risk and lost. The CON-
pany bought leather on time and
placed the leather in a warehouse.
OBrien Is warehouseman OF
known reputation, and when the T.
Rehkopf Saddlery company borrow
ed money Of this bank. pledglng his
warehouse receipts for the leather
stored In his house, the bank had no
reason to doubt the ownership Of
the property. The jobbers let the
leather go without retaining control
over IL. The warehouse receipts were
in the name OF the r. Rehkopf Sad
dlery company. and the bank ac-
cepted them as security. Now. can
you imagine what reason the bank
would have for entering into a con-
spiracy 10 lend man money on
warehouse receipts. taking a chance
OF losing not only the money but the
security?
II did not intend to say anything
until the trials. but the daily publi-
cation OF suits. charging us with
conspiracy. imposes on me the duty
OF setting this institution right be-
fore the public.
III is common practice for mer-
chants to purchase goods on six
months time and borrow money on
the goods for a short time. paying
the jobber out OF the profits of sales.
There was nothing in the conduct OF
the Il. Rehkopf Saddlery company
to cause suspicion"
Yesterday afternoon a material
lien was flled by the H. " Breiney
company OF Springfield. o., against
. the Il. Rehkopf Saddlery company
for s3.lli.s4. II is for goods alleged
to have been sold to the defendant
only few weeks prior to the filing
Of his deed OF assignment.

Pensacola, Fla. Sept. 2s.-Ths
worst sea storm and hurricane tina

village of Pensacola, or San Rosa
island. was swept away 1O7 years
ago, began Wednesday night and IA
still raging.
1t is reported that many lives be.

dence. 1t is known, however, thai
many towns in that section are ut

many women were taken fro mseco.d
story windows, and carried to safety
In boats.
The estimated property damage Is
placed tonight at three million dol
lars.
Every house in Pensacola suffered
damage and many roofs were blown
OFF.
The water front is strewn with
wreckage for miles on either side Of
the city, and vessels are piled on the
wharves, or where the wharves once
were.
In utter ruin big iron steamers and
many lighter sailing ships are laying
high and dry up in the city where the
tide has never been known to reach.
Every wharf for miles around has
been swept away or is damaged be-
yond repair.
Communication with the outside
world is practically cut off. This dis
patch. with other telegraphic matter
is being carried to Folmaton, Ala, by
train. 1t is feared that great havoc
and loss of life will be shown when
reports from the entire section along

of deep water ports on the gulf when
ever a canal could be built across the
Isthmus of Panama, the L. & n. rail-
road secured extensive and now
priceless concessions at Pensacola,
Fla. Already the exports and inn
ports through that port are import-
ant and the L. 4 n. railroad has
built one wharf extending nearly
three blocks out into the bay, where
the largest ocean going vessel can
dock. This wharf cost $4,000 900.
Pensacola bay has thirty feet OF wa
ter--the deepest on the gulf coast
and ultimately expected TO be the me-
tropolis of the Gulf of Mexico. The
J harbor is entirely landlocked. and a
storm capable of doing the damage
done there must have been OF stu
pendous force. The United States:

harbor for the Atlantic fleets for
many years The big battleships
which cannot turn around in the
river at New Orleans, find ample wa
ter there. No port in the United
States is better protected by land bat
teries. The government has large
navy yard and arsenal near the city.
The city itself, while not possess
ing the gentle winter climate or the
east coast of Florida, still is semi
tropical. Palms and ferns grow to a
great height and in profusion. The
view over the bay from the hlgn
country is magnificent. The city IS

The transcontinental railroads have reached an agreement that will practically eliminate com, petition for coming mail con- tracts west of Chicago to the Pacific Coast. In pursuance of the agreement notices were sent out by three roads operating fast transcontinental mail trains that after next Sunday the running time of the California limited on the Santa Fe, the Los Angeles limited train of the Northwestern, Union Pacific and San Pedro roads and the Golden State limited of the Rock Island and Southern Pacific would be increased from sixty-seven and one-quarter hours between Chi cago and Los Angeles to sixty nine and one quarter hours. Repeated conferences between the highest officials led to the final conclusion that it would be better to inaugurate schedules that the trains could maintain than to be continually arriving late at the terminals. 7 X

Judge R. E. Sloan recently de- cided that gambling cannot be prohibited in Arizona by town or city councils, but that they can prohibit gambling houses from operating within corporate limits. Judge Sloan's decision is to the effect that the law does not prohibit private gambling, but does provide that public gambling may be prevented by ordinance. This decision will serve as guide for town coun- cils in framing ordinances to pre- vent public gambling within the corporate limits of their respec- tive towns.-Flagstaff Gem.

At Butte, Montana, the county attorney has expressed himself in favor of open gambling. He says that when gambling was open it was conducted on the square. Since it has been driven to secrecy "the gambling dens are filled with theives and thugs, and if those running the games cannot fleece their victims in brace games they take their money by force. Gambling can not be eradicated. Those who seek games will find them, and those who wish to run games will run them. Licensed open gambling is far the better ot the two evils"
