Chicago. May 29.-Flagrant crook
edneas of produce commission inter-
ests Of South Water street, the sec
ond largest produce market in the
country, with which they are accused
by Forrest Crissey III Everybody's
Magazine for June, has been taken
up by the National League Of Com
mission Merchants, for investigation
and q great house cleaning Is at hand.
Just now the commission me are
busiIy establishing claim to exception
from the severe general arrangement
which was modified by the state
ment: There are, Of course, honest
commission men ii the produce bust
ness, many Of them, but their stand
ards are not the standard Of the
market street, and their practices
are not representative Of the prac-
tees which have prevailed for many
years to the extent Of dominating
the business.
Mr. GrisseY cited cases to illus
trate his eaustic charges that shin
pers and growers Of produce all over
the country are victimized. The
poor man hundreds Of miles away
and the widow are shamelessIY rob
bed by The crooked houses, be says.
He adds: An important element IN
the game IS the fact that IN most
states the laws permit the agent Of
. transportation company to make 8
forced sale Of any rejected shipment
and that without recourse Of
remedy 50 far as the shipper Is con
cerned.
The history Of q eetrain carload
or potatoes originating n a small
town IN the Wisconsin potato belt
Illustrates one phase of this device.
This car was directed, On order At
Chicago, TO d provincial city ii a
Southern state. The value Of The
potatoes was s217, and the freight
vas s158. The buyer made 3 pre-
einptory rejection Of the potatoes.
and ths agent Of the transportation
company last handling them sold
them to ! local buyer FOR $3.50. III
the course of the litigation Whichfol-
lowed the fact vas established that
the man Who bought the potatoes
from The transportation compang
agent sold them for $40. 10 dia-

About a year and eight months ago
my baby, aged ten months, was sitting
on the mat beside the fender and we were
preparing the breakfast when the frying
pan full of boiling grease was upset and
II went all over one side of the baby's
face and head. One Of the family ran
and wiped the scald with towel and
you may think what a mess she made,
pulling the entire skin off. We took her
TO chemist who told us TO get doctor,
which we did. He tended her a week
and gave me some stuff like lard TO put
on. But it all festered and / thought
the baby was disfgured for life. A
woman close beside me told me to try
Cuticura Ointment. used about three
boxes and it was wonderful howit healed.
In about five weeks IL was better and
there wasn't mark to tell where the
scald had been. People used TO ask me
II that was the baby that was scalded
and they would hardly believe me when
told them she was and what cured her
face Her skin is just like velvet and /

SHOW WONDERS OF
ELECTRICITY AT EXHIBITION

Atlantic City, n. Electricity in
its application to labor-saving devices
for Tightening the burdens of house
keeping was never before better illus
trated than at the exhibition which
has been opened to the public by the
National Electric Light association,
which is holding its thirty-secand
convention on Young's Pier. Hun
dreds of people today visited the big
show of the men who are Illuminating
the world, and were startled, II not
shocked, at the great strides made
in making the electrical Juice more
useful.
Firstly, there is the electric washtub
and automatic laundress. All that
the housewife needs do when she has
one Of these is to throw a couple Of
baskets OF clothes in the hopper and
then go to the theatre. When she
comes back the linen has been
washed, dried and pressed.
As yet it does not sew on buttons
nor darn socks. 1t is a new inven-
tion, and higher education takes time
There is also a patent cradle rock
er, which will rock the cradle for
hours while the mother takes a rest.
A man from Chicago is exhibiting a
dress fitted with self-adjusting but
tions. They are magnetized and all that
is needed is to form an electrical cir
cult from the top to the bottom of the
dress and 1t hooks itself up.
Mr.. Dick" Richards, of Newburgh,
n. Y. is showing a travelling icebox
and celarette. This is a wonderful
affair. 1t is fitted with phonograph-
ic switch, which is only adjusted, and
turns on the current when the owner
or a man who has set the lock calls.

TWO THOUSAND SETTLERS
VIII Locate on Old Soldiers COLONY
Within the Year.

An important land deal has been
made In Kissimmee. by which the SEM
mole Land and Investment Co, of
Washington, D. c., purchased $1,000
acres OF land in the Kissimmee val
ley-that includes the st. Cloud PLAN
tation. made famous in the Disston
day.
The tract lies In what Is. known as
the Kissimmee artesian basin, artesian
water being found in depths of 100 to
13e feet, while ordinary wells strike
1t from Is to 20 feet.
A town site named St. Cloud has
been located on the old St. Cloud
plantation The land was purchased
for the purpose of locating colony
of old soldiers, who can no longer
stand the rigors of northern climates
and seek a mild and balmy tempera-
ture in which to spend the remnant Of
their days.
The land is cut up into 5-acre tracts
and includes a 25x100 town site lot,
for the small sum Of 800, which seems
SO reasonable that no doubt sales will
be rapid. The Osceola County folks
are feeling very jubilant over the
prospect of the great benefit this col
ony movement will be. They calcu-
late on an additional of at least 1000
new settlers on the st. Cloud planta-
ton Within the year.-Arcadia Cham.

BLEACHED FLOUR.

Tho they have by no means the CAPT.
tad or the great interests behind them
the bleached -four people are putting
up as stiff fight as the whisky men.
The latest effort was an application
by the Alsop Process Company of st.
Louis for mandamus to compel the
Secretary of Agriculture to rescind his
decision against the use of nitrogen
peroxide in fiour-making and to desist
from prosecuting them for bleaching
flour, and selling it The Alsop Com
pany Is the manufacturer of machinery
for bleaching flour and says that its
business has been ruined by Secretary
Wilson's announcement that he would
give six months for the manufacturers
and dealers In that article to adjust
themselves to cease its manufacture
and sale, when he would direct prose-
cutions against those who continued.
Judge Stafford. of the s 7reme Court
of the District Of Column |, refused to
issue mandamus. saying that the
court could not command the Secretary
not to make his opinion and intention
known. nor could the court stop him
from beginning prosecutions of those
who continued the business after June
8. If these men felt themselves ag-
grieyei their recourse was to appeal to
the President and have the case thrown
into the hands Of the Referee Board.
There was little hope of relief from
this source. since Attorney-Gcneral
Wickersham has recently approved OF

NO STORMS IN FLORIDA.

Last week unusual and very desTuc'
tive storms ragged over great part OF
the country There were 10 inches OF
snow in Western Pennsylvania and
New York. We had SHOWS in other
sections, and in thousands Of places
biting frosts which blasted early Vege-
tation. In the country around Chicago
167 people are reported killed by the
violence of the winds. In the midst or
such turbulence as this, which was vast
iy Injurious, if not fatal. the mind
turns longingly to the sunny skies OF
Florida, where no snow storms, cy-
clones and other meteorological blasts
are known. The worst that comes to
Florida are killing frosts which fortu-
nate1y are separated by long period
of years. There were great frosts IN
1Ss4-5, but nothing before that since
1895, a period es 5s years. As far as
the records show there had been an
equally long interval since the last pre-
vious killing frost.
The ground selected for the colony,
lying only five degrees from the north
ern tropic. has the most equable tenn
perature known to any civilized coun-
try. 1t is land where ones VI
taiity is not exhausted in a struggle
with the elements and a mans life can
be extended years by his freedom from
severe wrestling with nature.

BIG CRoP OF ORANGES.
Largest Yield Ever Known Is Expect
ed tn Florida the Coming Season.

(Kissimmee Valley Gazette.y
From every section of OsceoIa
county comes the report that nexf
season the largest crop of oranges will
be gathered in the history of that
fruits culture in Florida. The raina
came exactly in the proper time to
bring out a full bloom, and continued
at intervals until the blooms had fully
set and matured into fruit.
There was shipped from the past
season something like one hundred and
fifty thousand boxes, and from conser-
vative estimates there will be sent
out from this place the coming winter
fully three hundred thousand boxes
and as much better prices are expect
ed to be obtained for Florida oranges
in the future than have prevailed the
past few years. business in all lines in
this community will take on a life
never before experienced.
Not only is the yield OF oranges ex-
pected to be large. but growers state
that all classes of fruit are doing well
and show evidence of immense crops.
and especially is this the case with
guavas, the bushes of which are al
ready filled with that delicious fruit.
Every condition points to a most
fruits and vegetables, and with that
fact coupled with the location of the
Old Soldiers Colony near this city and
the opening up for cultivation of hun
dreds of acres, there Is nothing to pre-
vent Osceola county doubling its pop
ulation within the next II months.

Tho Charleston News and Courier
calls Senator Tiilman sharply to ac-
count for his statement that South Car
olina had nullified the 14th amendment,
and would nullify any other law that
did not suit them. The News and Cou-
rier says absolutely that this is with
out a shadow of truth, and that no part
of the United States Constitution and
laws are nullified in South Carolina.
The State has a law regulating suffrage
which applies to all. and the negros are
shut out because they cannot comply
with its conditions. These prescribe
that the citizens applying for registra-
ton must be able to read and write
any section Of the State Constitution,
or show that they have paid all collect
able taxes for the preceding year on
property lass than $500. These
regulations .ly to whites and blacks
alike. The negros have retired from
active participation in politics in South
Carolina for nearly 80 years. and Sen
ator Tillman's statement is "the exhala-
tion of his singularly obsessed imagina-
tion.''
