Monster Crop of Cherries
Causes Great Demand for
Cans, Sugar, Etc.
CANNING RUBBERS NEEDED
ALL OTHER NECESSARY ARTI-
Giles WERE SUPPLIED BUT DE-
MAND EXCEEDED SUPPLY FOR
RUB6ERS.

The past week was most strenu-
Gus one for the local retail and whole
sale grocery dealers. The cause of
this activity was due to the great
cherry crop, the largest in this sec
tion of the country for several years
past. Thousands of people are can
ming cherries owing to their quality
and abundance and as a result the
demand on the groceryman for cher
ries, cans and sugar has been some
thing out of the ordinary. A local
wholesale groceryman stated yester-
day that the past week was one of
the heaviest for the local iobbers for
years past but that they were FORUM
ate in meeting the demand, having a
plentiful supply of sugar and cans on
hand
About the only article in demand
that could not be supplied, according
to the same jobber, was Gaming rub
bers. They are a very scarce commi
dity owing to the great demand for
them all over the country and it has
been almost impossible to secure
them. The other fruit crops will fol-
low the cherry crop in rapid success
sion until the peach crop arrives on
the market. This means that the de-
mand for canning supplies will con-
tinue throughout the summer.

1t is generally understood that the

work to their interests, but with ex-
plantations, all is harmony, and it is
said they are sure to benefit through
the alliance.
1t is proposed that the performer be
given season of fifty-two weeks, and
a route laid out with easy jumps, in
volying a minimum expense. In re-
ality the agreement comprises a vau-
deville trust. Indiana managers, how
ever, have been fully awake, and are
in on the ground floor. Among the
amusement places to be played in the
Hoosier State are the following:

Publishers Pressl

MOSCOW, June z4.-(9.4o D. ny
According to reports in circulation in
the city, there has been fierce fight
between mutinous troops and loyals
outside of the town in which the au-
thorities were compelled to use ar
tillery to put down the rebellion. Up
to the present time it has been impos.
sible to confirm this report as all per.
sons are forbidden to approach the
fortresses and the authorities abso-
lutely decline to discuss the matter.
The report originates from the fact
that about five o'cock this evening
rifle firing by volleys was heard,
which increased in violence as the
moments went by and was soon added
to by the loud noise of field guns in
action. 1t has been rumored for sew
eral days that the garrison of the city
was on the point of mutiny, and the
report was in circulation that mass
meeting of the soldiers was to be held
this afternoon. Hence the rifle and
artillery firing was believed to indi-
cate that the mutineers met and the
authorities were interfering.
In State of Alarm.
Everyone in the city is in a state OF
alarm, as it is not known what the out.

The police in the Jewish quarters

While there has been no outbreak in

takes but little to precipitate one and
it is feared the present state of affairs
cannot last much longer. The ten
sion is becoming acute and all persons
have been warned not to gather on
the thoroughfares nor remain on the
streets after dark.

not for the presence here of large
body of American Marines, well arm

feeling of sullen discomfort among the
more progressive of the inhabitants
of the Panama republic, which may
yet break out in open revolution.
Threats of assassination are freely
made and it is openly asserted by the
liberals that DR.. Amador will hardly
live much longer. Today's election,
while only for members of the munic-
ipal council, was admitted by all to
be the test and upon it's outcome de-
pended the result of the general elec'
