CAPITAL INVESTED IN
THE CONFECTIONERY BUSINESS

According to the United States cen.
sus figures the capital invested in thu
manufacture of confectionery was IS
4S6,S74 in 1880. This had increased IN
1890 to $23 1926, 799, in 1900 to $26,3l9,
1876 and in 1905 to $43, 125, 4Os. The
cost of materials used have increased
from $17,125,775 in 1880 to $31,116, so.
in 1890, to $25, 1854, POS in 1900 and to
$4S,S10,324 in 1905. The census figures
report the wholesale value of the fin.
ished product as $25, 1897 ,O33 in 1880, as
$55;997, l0l in 1890, as $50, 643 GAG in
1900 and as $87 ,087 1853 in 1905. Thus
in 1908, the estimate of the organ of
the trade in placing the wholesale val
ne of the product at 10000, 900 is con
servative. At the present time there
are approximately 1900 factories en-
gagged in this work.
According to Henry w. Hoops, Pres
ident of the National Confectioners'
Association, people in the trade figure
the average value of the finished pro-
duet, at the factory, at Is cents 4
pound, so that the estimate of 800, 900
600 for the product this year would
mean an output of approximately $751;
100000 pounds of candy, or nearly
eight and ont half pounds per annum
for every man, woman and child in the
United States.
The amount of glucose, paraffine,
cheap flavoring extracts and various
deleterious substances used in produc-
ing this output can scarcely be guessed
at. According to chemists and health
officials paratfine is used even in the
most expensive chocolates. This is true
to such an extent that the purchasers
of chocolate candies annually treat
their digestive organs to several tons
of candles in this way. When the in
gradients of a large proportion of the
cheaper grades of candy are considered
1t will be seen that the tax ON the
health of the nation through the con-
sumption of candy is infinitely greater
even than the tax on the pocket books
of the purchasers.

Burglars last night entered the home
of A. s. Marchant at 81 Park Avenue
and carried away considerable jewellery
and some clothes belonging to Mrs.
Marehant. There was no one at home
when the thieves entered and they evil

The burglary was reported to the

Professors Son Translated Fathers
Speech Into the VernacuIar.

A college professor, in company
with his son, was enjoying a walk in
the country, when he met an old
farmer. 1t had, been very wet sea-
son, and the professor, thinking to
start the conversation in a way that
would prove interesting to the farmer,
remarked:
There has been a rather abnormal
precipitation of late"
The farmer seemed somewhat en-
barrassed, and. the professors son,
who used a different vernacular,
though he was a student in the college
to which his father was attached, at
tempted to straighten out the matter.
Drawing the farmer to one side, he
said in a superior way

GENERAL CUT IN
RATES ASSURED

CHICAGO, July 24.-The decision
of the Rock Island to put on a rd>e
OF 1 Y cents for merchants meetings
to be held in Chicago and other
cities bids fair to bring down an
avalanche of reduced rates. The
Alton road is preparing to make sirl-
liar rates for fully score of conven-
lions and meetings in the east and
in the west.
The executive committee of the
Western Passenger association will
meet tomorrow to consider the entire
situation, but 1t is said that nothing
can now stop the making of reduced
rates in all western territory. This
insures big attendance at all state
and county fairs and numerous small
assemblages. which have revived
since low rates are assured.

SILVER BOW IS

James Kautz came in from Typo,

silver and gold values and will as 'dy

| The claims from which these rich
specimens brought in by Mr. Kautz
were taken are owned by Bert L.
Smith and John Gregovich, formerly
of Eureka, and all show large well

The Silver Bow Belle, one of the
richest mines in the district, has al
ready produced ore that has assayed
i $3.50 per pound, besides large bodies
of low grade ore.
The lucky Boy has ledge So fee;

transportation facilities in shipp,ns
the ore to the railroad the develop
ment of the district is greatly re
tarded, but in the event of the com
pTetion of the Ely and Goldfield rail
, road the present obstacle will be
overcome and the output of ore from

rival the best camps in Nevada.
