CITY. KANSAS. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1907.
POST OFFICE MOVED.
Had Been IN the Old Location Twenty
Years and in Charge of Five Diff
fefent Postrnasters,

IedrS anu IN SnaTBe OF rive LII
fefent Postmasters,
The Dodge City postofice was moved
on Monday OF this week, after being
located in the old room for twenty years.
In the year Of 1887, when the post Office
was put In the brick building at the
corner Of Chestnut and Bridge streets,
from which 1t was moved Monday, p. N.
Reamer was postmaster He was sue
ceeded by r. E Deardolff, who was later
succeeded by K. W. Evans, Sr. When
the Democrats had an inning David
Swinehart was appointed postmaster and
held the Office until the Republicans came
into power again. Then the present
postmaster James Arment was appointed
in August 1898.
This change in the location Of the
postof1lce comes in a year which pro.
misses many changes In Dodge City.
There are now nine business rooms 10
new brick buildings either just COM
pleted or 10 the course OF construction
and the postofllce goes into one Of them
IN the Doolittle & Traynor block. Dodge
City Is leading all of the towns on the
Santa Fe road In building. New i'm
provoments are going up all over town.
The coming year ought to see a still
greater improvement. The country has
been developing fast and the town will
keep up with the procession. The room
vacated by the postofflce will not be idle
for very long. 1t has already been leased
and new bank is to occupy 1t.
The new post office Is one Of the most
modern IN equipment Of the offices In
Kansas. 1t ia much larger room than
the old one and Is fittec with over
seven hundred combination boxes. The
ceiling Of The room is Of stamped steel.
The woodwork and all office fixtures are
Of qusrter sawed golden oak. In the ex-
treme west OF the room are two windows
for mail carriers and II the post Office
receipts for the year ending March 3lst
1908 show few hundred gain we will be
in line for free delivery.
On the south side of the building comes
first the post masters private office, then
/ the money order, register and general
delivery windows. On the north are
boxes, two lobby desks and new clock,
donated by p. Fl. Young, the jeweler.
Under the carriers window are two doors
opening large boxes for the use of news
dealers. On south of these windows is q
place for mailing letters and on the north,
one for packages.
The entire equipment inside and ou is
designed for practical use and the
steadily increasing business. There is
yet 10 be installed, large safe, which
will be here soon, and wire cage just in
side the back entrance, will be COM
pleted in couple Of weeks, to be ust as
mail receiving room. There seems to
b. much satisfaction felt by the genera
public over the appearance and useful
ness of the new building.

More Interest In the Fair Than
the Men Did.

TRICK THE FOOLISH
SCHEMES OF PREMIUM MAIL
ORDER HOUSES.
STUFF IS OF LITTLE VALUE
Cheapest Kind of Goods Handled by
These Concerns, and They Are
Sold at the Highest Mar
ket Prices.

There are dozens of premium-giv
mail order houses operating in differ
ent cities of the country. These
houses reach out for trade in all parts
OF the country, and do not overlook
the largest cities. They gain for their
aides and their agents men, women
and children, wives of lawyers, mer-
chants. church workers and any class
that they can. Some of them make
business catering to the Epworth
leagues, the Sunday schools, the
churches, and have plans by which
the people are humbugged and loaded
down with inferior goods, and the
league, the Sunday school or the
church gets little cheap furniture,
some dinky-dinky thing almost worth
less for all the trouble gone to.
These premium concerns that put
out baking powder, cheap coffees, gro
ceries of every kind and description,
generally put out the cheapest kinds
of stuff Recently samples of the
goods that have been received from
them have been sent to the chemists
of the pure food departments in a
number of cites, and universally the
goods We're found TO be of the rankest
kind. The coffee the cheapest Santos,
and doctored up with roasted cereals
and chickory; the baking powders
We're an abomination of cheap acids
and other materials; the extracts
were wholly synthetic, produced from
coal-tar products, and so adulteration
was carried to the extreme. These
goods were sold at the highest prices
and were of such class that no re-
spectacle grocer in any city or ham
let would have them in his stock.
These are the classes that the good
women, perhaps well-meaning, but
not up to snuff, palm off upon their
neighbors when they become the sec
retary of the club" and the kind of
dope they innoccntly give to their
husbands and children, and when the
little ones become sickencd by par
taking of the stuff, the dear little
woman gladly pays some doctor four
times the amount the abominable
goods cost.
There will he something dropping
pretty quick among a certain class of
these big companies" Their bust
ness is of the fraudulent kind and
there is a likelihood that at no distant
period the government officers will Sc
cure such evidence as viii put many
of the concerns out of business.

New York City.-Henry o. Have
meyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining Co, died Wednesday
at his country home at Commack,
Long Island, of heart failure following
an attack of acute indigestion on
thanksgiving day. Resort to the use
OF oxygen to prolong life was had a
few hours before the end
The president of the so-called sugar
trust went to COmmack on November
u with his wife to spend Thanksgiv-
ing cunning on his private preserve
lie arose early Thursday and spent
nearly the entire day tramping about
the country after game. Late in the
day he returned to his home and ate
nearly dinner. Shortly after he was
seized with violent pains and Dr. w.
II. Ross, who was summoned, said
that he was suffering from acute in
digestion. Several physicians from
this city were called the next day and
remained constantly at the patients
bedside.
Mr.. Havemeyer was the son of the
late Frederick c.. Havemeyer, who.
with his father, was the pioneer in
sugar refining. He was born October
Is, lS47, in this city, where his father
and grandfather amassed a fortune in
the sugar refining business. After an
education in the public schools he en-
tered the business of Havemeyer &,
Co. and later with Havemeyer & FL
der. His genius for organization
showed itself in the formation of the
American Sugar Refining Co. in 1887.
His brother, Theodore A. Havemeyer,
was elected president of the company
and held the office until his death
four years ago.
ii. o. Havemeyer succeeded his
brother in the presidency. In 1897 he
attracted wide attention by refusing
to answer certain questions put to
him by the United States senate com
mittee which was investigating the
sugar industry. He was indicted and
tried for contempt. After a long legal
fight he was freed. He engaged in a
hard fight with the Arbuckles for the
control of the sugar business and
when it was over the position of his
company was strengthened
His estate is said to amount to
many millions of dollars and he was
considered one of the wealthiest men
in New York. Mr.. Havemeyer, in
1883, married Louise w. Elder who |
was the daughter of his partner in the .
sugar business. His wife and four
children survive him.

Catch-PennX Schemes.

Those who make a habit of answer.
ing advertisements in the cheap
mail order papers are sure to bite at
the bait" held out to them sooner or
later. One of the common CRAFTS is
advertising for men to distribute cir
culars" and Offering from three dol
lars to five dollars a day for the serv-
ices. These concerns generally charge
fee of from two dollars to five dol
lars for registering" and in return
send a number of printed blanks and
names of companies who want adver-
tising matter circulated. After some
dollars worth of postage stamps is
wasted in writing to the names sup
piled, the person anxious for joc
concludes that he is out of pocket
a common form of fraud is the ad-
vertising for men to become detec-
tives. There are few of these rank
humbugs doing business, and in way
so shrewdly devised that the authori-
ties cannot deny them the use of the
mails. In a few cases fraud orders
have been issued against them, but
change was quickly made to another
city, and the same old graft put in
operation. In these cases a fee is
charged for commission and badge
and instructions. The bit of nickeled
brass sent out as a badge is familiar
in nearly every police court as
source Of trouble for green young men
who think that its possession gives
them official authority
Business men should be on the look
out for new game which has been
played in a number of parts of the
country Of late. A stranger enters
store, buys a small bill of goods, not
exceeding ten or fifteen dollars, says
that he will call for them later, and
gives a check for $50 or more on
bank, receiving no change in return
He remains away for a few days, then
calls for the goods He is told that
the check is no good. After roundly
"cussing" the bank he pays for the
goods takes the check and goes. In
few days more the check comes to the
merchant, paid at the bank because it
had the merchants endorsement on it.
This was the end to be obtained. Be
on the lookout for this game.

Catalogue Houses Rusu-

Thousands of dollars are being spent
with the big catalogue houses of the
east by the residents of the small
towns in southern Utah, according to
reports brought to Salt Lake by Or
son Hewlett, president of the Manu-
facturers' and Merchants association.
and Lorenzo jenkins, secretary and
manager of the Retail Merchants as
sociation Of the state
Messrs. Hewlett and jenkins spent
nearly week in Sanpete county and
vicinity, calling merchants and farm
ers together to urge greater patronage
of home industries. Ephraim. Moronf.
Fairvew, Spring City, Mount Pleas
ant, Fountain Green, Manti and Ches-
ter were visited and in each place the
greatest enthusiasm was manifested
by merchants over the campaign re-
Gently inauguratcd by commercial
bodies of the state for a more extern
sive patronage of home industries.
Meetings were called and ways and
means discussed by which the prac-
houses can be done away with. This
practice has reached alarming proper
tions in the southern part of the state,
according to Messrs Hewlett and
jenkins. One small town alone last
month received goods to the value of
$1,000 from a big eastern mail order
concern.-Salt Lake (Utah) Herald.

CRAZY MAN SHOT
LABOR LEADERS
SENSATIONAL OCCURRENCE IN
BAY STATES CAPITOL.
ONE VICTIM FATALLY HURT.
Man Who Did the Shooting was Re,
leased on Parole Last Month
from the Asylum at DAN
vers, Mass.

Boston, Mass. - An insane man
walked into the ante-room of the ex-
ecutive chamber of the state house
Thursday afternoon and, finding Gov;
Guilds door closed turned on three
prominent labor leaders and fired
three shots at them, probably fatally
wounding Edward Cohen, of Lynn,
president of the state branch of the
American Federation of Labor; seri-
ously wounding Dennis d. Driscoll, of
Boston, secretary of the same board
and injuring with the muzzle of his
revolver Arthur NJ. Ruddell, of Bos!
ton, former president of the Central
Labor union of this city. The insane
man, who was John A. Steele of Ev,
erett, and who was released on parole
last month from the Danvers insane
asylum, was overpowered by Private
Secretary Charles S. Groves and Gen.
j. II. Whitney, chief of the state po,
lice.
Gov. Guild was in his Office only
few feet away and, rushing out as
sisted in subduing Steele then knelt
by Cohen's side and subsequently di-
rected the removal of the wounded
men to the hospital.
Cohen was shot twice through the
head and was in a critical condition
at the Massachusetts General hospital
last night. The third bullet struck
Driscoll a glancing blow on the side
of the forehead and, making a long
wound over the head, rendered him
unconscious for half an hour Hud-
dell's wound will probably cause him
little inconvenience.

MANY FURNACES ARE IDLE
A Great Reduction in Output Durinq
November Is Reported

Cleveland, o. - Owing to the
present conditions in the financial and
industrial world, unusual importance
attaches to the reports of blast fur
mace production. The monthly statis-
tics of the Iron Trade Review show a
production for November of 1.S15224
tons, against the record of October.
when 2,359,690 tons were made. The
decrease of 544 ,466 tons does not
fully represent the curtailment in pro-
gress, as the number of furnaces in
blast December / was 227, against
3l4 in blast November 1. Some of the
latter We're active a part of Novenl-
ber
The statistics for December will un-
doubtedly indicate very much larger
decrease than those for November.
but this rapid blowing out of furnaces
will, it is believed, hasten the time
when production will be less than de-
mand.

Fake Spices Sold to Public.

1t has been found that more than
so per cent. of the groceries sold by
travelling agents who sell direct to
consumers are of the adulterated
classes. Examinations made of cof-
fees sold by such concerns proved
that there was 80 per cent. adultera-
ton. The cheapest kind of Santos
is used for a base, and with this
ground cocoanut shells, burnt corn
and chicory are combined. Such con
Coctions are dangerous, and a rank
imposition upon the people. The
spices that are sold by many of the
alleged pure food concerns that have
agents working among the people in
small towns are dangerous to health
Many classes consist of ground
bark, nut shells and other materials
and favored with artificial favors
that are coal tar products. 1t is un-
safe to buy from the concerns that
gain their business through can
vassers, or who do an exclusive mail
order business.

Lava Put to Good Use.

Residents of the district round We
suvius have put to practical use the
lava which has flowed from the vol
cano in the past and recent eruptions.
Naples and it's vicinity appear to be
a world of lava The streets are paved
with it. There are lava staircases and
statues, drinking troughs, bric-a-brac
and even jewelry. The guides make
a profit out of it by pressing coins or
other objects on partially cooled frag-
ments and selling these to visitors
On the ashy sides of the mountain
there is enough lava to build a large
city. In appearance it resembles a
shorcless frozen sea of dull black that
shimmers strangely purple in some
lights.

Broke Statue In Spite.

Mr. Kitamura Naojira, sculptor of
the marble statue of a female, priced
at 10000 yen, which is exhibited in
the Fine Arts building of the Toxic
exposition, proceeded to the exposi-
tion on June II, at a. m, and de-
iiberately knocked down the statue
and destroyed the head and arms
with an iron hammer, which he had
originally used in carving the figure
The reason for this violent proceed
ing was that he considered that the
prize commissioners of the Toxic ex-
position had shown bias in their
awards, and were prone to confine
high testimonials to artists of their
own clique.-Japan Advertiser
