to Peoria for one purpose only, and
that was to convince Clarke Brothers
& Co., that the South Carolina dis
pensary was Financially able to take
care of it's debts, and further than
making an agreement with me that he
would pay cash for part of the
goods, and would see that acccptances
were signed for the goods we sold on
time, nothing else transpired between
us
"Now, then, in reference to the
above statement 7 desire to say to
your honorable board that the goods
we shipped you were two grades of
corn, namely, corn we sold you for
81 so per gallon. This corn was made
in what we call our continuous still
and is the regular corn we sell our
trade at $1.40 cash. f. 0. b. Peoria.
We added to this the freight and 9TH

up to $1.40, which gives us extra mar

con the $l.60 corn we were oblig-
cd to discontinue the running Of our
rye whiskey in order to use our three
chambercd still to manufacture this
grade Of corn. This inconvenienced us
largely, but we thought we were do
ing, the South Carolina dispensary a
favor in so going, and we made this
corn especially for them. I dare say
you never have had such good grade
Of corn in your house before; at least
nothing superior to it. The margin
Of profit on this corn would not
amount to more than 6 to 8 cents per
gallon to us, and we can make this
amount Of profit on spirits at the
present market.

which his instance had been taken.
In his book upon the physiology Of
taste, which had its day Of celebrity,
Rrillat-Savarin relates the following:
"I had great-aunt, 93 years old,
who was dying. Although for some
time confined to her bed, she had re-
tanned all her faculties, and her con-
dition was only betrayed by her loss
of appetite and the weakening of her
voice. She had always shown fond
ness for me, and 7 was near her bed,
affcctionatcly ready to wait on her,
which did not prevent my Watching

'Thank you,' she said, for this last
favor; if ever you reach my age you
will find that death becomes a need,
just like Sleep These were her last
words, half an hour later she had
fallen asleep forever. We unmistak-
ably have here an instance of the in
stinct of natural death. The instinct
was shown at relatively early age
in a person who had retained all her
intellectual facu)ties.'

Carolina dispensary on the ground
that the credit of the dispensary was
not good. I told Mr.. Black that that
was not my entire reason for refusing
to fill the order, but that could not
afford to ship so many goods on time
to any one concern, especially SO at
the busy season Of the year.
"I also further stated to him that
if I did sell the dispensary so many
goods of this character it would be
necessary for me to purchase goods
from our competitors, in order to take
care of our orders from our regular
trade.
"I then ivitcd Mr.. Dudley and Mr..
Black to 60 with me to the distillery,
and I showed them through our en-
tire plant and explained to them how
it was possible for us to make bet
ter character of goods than they had
been in the habit Of buying from 9TH
er sources. I am satisfied that I con-
vinced Mr.. Black Of the correctness
of this statement. We afterwards
came to my office at the rectifying
house, and upon Mr.. Blacks promise
that he would see that we were paid
cash for large portion Of the order
sent us by Mr.. Dudley, if I would fill
the same, stating to me that it was
an absolute necessity that the dispen-
sary get this class of goods for their
holiday trade, and that they must be
shipped at once, therefore consent

with the order Mr.. Dudley sent in,
copy of which 7 herewith enclose.
"In reference to the order filled by
Arthur Lehman & Co., will say that
I had been informed that these or
ders could be transferred, and I, be-
ing n stockholder in the firm of Arth-
ur Lehman & Co., I transferred to
them 100 barrels Of rye, $1.75; 100
barrels of Xxx rye, $1.60; 100 barrels
Of Xxx Corn $3.50. I. did this believing
| T had the right to do so, and owing ia
the fact that it was during the holi-
day season and we were so busy il
was impossible for us to fill these or.

and we would not have any use for
them in any other direction. There
fore, | hope your honorable board
will see the justice of our claim that
we hcrto attach, also in the claim Of
Arthur Lehman & Co., (of which we
take the responsibility and will ac-
cept our goods, use them with your
county dispcnsnry, (you can do so,
owing to the fact that they are not
expensive goods,) and will pay us our
legitimate rights.
In reference to the statements that
have been made to the investigating
committee, that these goods were
nothing but wines and could be boughi

that the gentlemen making that state

cost 81 Al; then, if you were to take
ninety days time we would charge
you one cent per gallon per month

price $1.44, f. o. b., Columbia. S. G.,

I only use this illustration to
show you the injustice that has been

FARMERS UNIONS.

w. J. Crawford, of'Temple, Ok
lahoma, General Organizer of the
Farmers Educational and Coop
erative Union of America, has beer
in the county the past ten days
lecturing and organizing local un-
ions. He lectured several nights
last week between this city and
the county line on the east, and on
Friday night organized the eighth
union in the county at Central
View. On Monday night he or
ganized a union at the Doles school
house west of the city.
This organization is young but
it is growing rapidly. In Kansas
it has a membership of about
5000, thirty-two counties have
county organizations and there are
unions in sixty-seven counties.
The organization has footing in
nearly all the states west of Penn
sylvania. In that state and east
of it the Grange is doing practically
the same work.
The purpose of this organization
is to put the farmer On a plane
with every other man who pro.
duces something to sell-to fix the
price of his own products, against
which there can be no valid or
reasonable objection. The farmer
can not hope to fix the price of the
things he must buy but by organ
ization he can fix the price of what
he has to sell, and in this day it is
up to him to do it or be at the
mercy of the strong combines oi
the world.

to Geo. Horton to appear in police

of Judge Collins the matter was

A Pennsylvania cobbler has dis
covered an inexpensive and simple
chemical preparation by the means
of which coal ashes can be utilized
as fuel. Rev. w. H. Moore of this
citp, a few days ago, experimental
sufficiently to pronounce it sue
cess. He was not very careful with
details to give it a fair trial but
the results obtained, he says, con-
vince him that the scheme is worth
considering. The recipe is, three
parts ashes, one part of coal, one
pound of salt, ounces of Oxalic
acid to gallon of water. Mix huie
so that it will come in contact with
the ashes and you have a fuel thai
will burn as readily and as long as
coal. 1t is estimated that this fue
would cost less than half as much
as ordinary coal. Rev. Moore ex
perimented with only one Goa
bucket full and he had a hot fire
something like FIVE hours. If yo,
have an ash pile, try it.

red.hot municipal campaign in
Wichita this spring has already
been dismissed. 1t will be remem-
bered that c. Q. Chandler, the
Wichita Beacon and number oi
other leading citizens of Wichita
were defendants in this suit. Polit-
ical libel suits are always institut-

taken seriously. They generally
operate as a boomerang to the par.

Special attention is called to the
notice of DR.. c. D. UpdeSraff, f,coun-
ty health officer, this week. Scar
let fever has invaded certain parts
of the county and the safety of the
general public demands that the
most vigilant efforts be made to
stamp it out as well as to prevent
the spread of kindred infectious
diseases. The new law which DR..
Updegraf quotes in his notice is
very plain and admits of no con-
struction favorable to the allow
ance of decayed substances to col.
lect anywhere, but, independent of
the law, every citizen should rec
ognize it as a matter of his own in
dividual welfare to use every pre-
caution to prevent contagion on
his premises. Burn or bury the
rubbish.
