GLUCOSE TRUST
PAYS FINES IN
CANDY CASES
BY Associated Press

By Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.
Announcement was made to-
day that the Corn Products Re-
fining company of New York,
a member of the alleged glu-
cose trust, had made a settle
ment at a cost of about half a
million dollars of all cases
brought in Pennsylvania by
DIR. B. H. Warren, dairy and
food commissioner, against
persons selling candies con-
tanning glucose.
The use of glucose in candies
was held to be illegal because
the glucose contained sulphus
dioxide used for bleaching pur-
poses in its manufacture.
A number of cases were set
tied by payment of fines and
costs by the dealers arrested,
but E. B. Bedford, president of
the Corn Products company, in
a letter sent to DR.. Warren
agreed to pay all costs in the
remaining cases with the un-
derstanding that they be dis
missed. He said the crusade
would cost his company half
million dollars.

The worries attendant upon the
management of great opera COM

second dose and soon after lost con-

Lambardi's condition was discovered,
and for more than an hour labored to
bring the man back to life. For time
it was thought the overdose would
prove fatal, but at last the Sig Lam

Sig. Lambardi is one of the most
noted bandmen in the country. He has
been manager of several of the most
famous opera companies and he has
been connected with bands of interna-
tional fame.
He has endeavored to keep from his
friends the fact that he was not feel
ing in his usual health. as he did not
wish to worry them, and the accident
last night was the first intimation
many of them had that he was ailing.
He states he will probably take va
cation for few days in order to get

RIDICULOUS AND AMUSING.

About the most ridiculous claim
made in this campaign ia that set
out by Mr.. Wiseman, shat he orga-
nized the Democratic party in Bates
county.
The most amusing Is the frantic
efforts Of the Bates County Record
to give Wiseman q Democratic
character.
Oh the first, no one ever recognized
such Il claim, excepting Mr.. Wise.
man himself. Bates county was re-
deemed to the Democratic party in
1871, ten years before Wiseman
came to the county, and it has been
reliably Democratic ever since. Wise
mans claims hurts no one and II 1t
amuses him, no one would object,
except where he tries to use so flmsy
an excuse to bolt the ticket this
year.
Wiseman's claims of long party
service over the editor OF THE TINES
ia also ridiculous The Enterprise
was established In 1881. The TINES
was esta blished In 1873, three years
before. Mr.. Allen came home from
school in the spring Of 1882 and en-
tered actively into the campaign,
and rs reward Tor his services, was
rendered the position OF deputy
county clerk. So by Mr.. Wiseman 9
own figuring he could have had only
one year the advantage, that OF 1881,
and there was no campaign during
that year. Before the next campaign
IA 1884 Mr.. Allen was In charge u
The TINES.
We have no personal quarrel with
Mr.. Wiseman, and have always treat.
ed him with consideration. But our
duty to the party Is plain, not to
allow Mr.. Wisemnn or any other
man to fight the Democratic ticket
while posing as a Democrat.
II Wiseman wants to bolt, that is
his privilege, to 60 into the Republi.
can party and we give him good
speed, but he can not remain In the
party and furnish material for the
opposition. Wiseman's course since
the primary shows the wisdom In
the party voters In not nominating
him, for no bolter is entitled to o
place on the ticket.
