WILL FORM A TRUST
An Alleged Plot to Control ,
the Produce Market. !
XO FOOD PRODUCTS WILL BE SOLD
Farmers "Will Knlsn Ilnrely Enough
for Tlifiiiselvex, Coin pel liny Con
siimerft to Import l'rom Abroad.
Toledo, April 2 Farmers are trying
to form a trust. It is to spread all over
the land, and if present plans carry, not
a dollar's worth of farm produce of any
kind will be sold for general consump
tion. In a nutshell, the idea is for the
farmers to limit their crops to the actual
living needs of the members of the trust.
The organization is secret, oatbbound,
and its principles know just now to only
a select few outside of those directly con
cerned in its development. According
to the promoters, however, the country
is practically in condition to bo placed in
the grip of this remarkable combine.
Lancaster, Pa., was the birthplace of
the trust. It saw light there several
months ago, and was incorporated under
the laws ot New Jersey as the the Agri
culturalists' .National Protective Associa
tion. The supreme body is made up of
one representative from each state,
whose duties are similar to those of the
board of directors of an ordinary corpor
ation. Each state has a subordinate
board of directors, consisting of one rep
resentative from each congressional dis
trict, Each district in turn is governed
by a board of two members from each
county. Each county is under control
of a board of from five to 11 in number,
who direct the movements of township
organizations,
It is the purpose to do nothing this
year in the way of controlling the mar
kets, because the organization is not
complete. Nest year, however, the crops
will be limited to actual living needs of
members.
If the plan is carried oat, not a dol
lar's wortn of farm prodnct of any kind
will be sold for general consumption, it
being the purpose to compel the people
to import all food products. It is be
lieved that by this method the power of
the association can best make itself felt.
lllrtlirftij- of a Church.
New Youk, April 2. Trinity church,
fuil of years and ecclesiastical honors,
wid soon celebrate with great ceremony
the bicentenary of its existence. Trin
ity's 200th birthday, the anniversary of
the i&suance of its charter by William
III of England, in 1G97, falls upon the
6th of May. It will be dignified by an
eight day's festival, beginning on Sun
day, May 2, and ending Sunday, May 9.
The ceremonies of each day included
in the festival period will be unique, im
posing aud beautiful. The principal ser
vices will be held Wednesday, May 5.
The morning service will begin at 11
o'clock and Bishop Potter will deliver
the address to some 200 guests who have
been especially invited, among them
judges of the United States court and
Presidents of colleges and universities.
Stock Has Suffered.
Eureka, Cal., April 2. From reliable
reports received here, the late cold
fitorm has been very disastrous to Block.
It is reported that thousands of dead
dead lambs are ecattered over the ex
posed ranges in the north, east and
south, and many mother sheep, weak
ened by hunger and exposure, have
ehared the same fate. Stock men gen
erally have negledted to provide stored
food when not absolutely essential. A
loot of enow is reported at Kneel
Prairie, and nearly as much in the
Yager section. There will be email, if
any, increase in the flocks this year.
Cattle have also suffered from lack
Ql 'ood, and the loss of etock will be
heavy where stored feed has not been
provided.
Colonel Grant Declined.
New Youk, April 2. Colonel Fred D.
"rant has decided to decline President
McKinley's offer of the position of first
assistant secretary of war.
Mr. Grant sent the following telegram
President McKinley:
Although you were pleased to urge
m to think over the matter, it is im
possible for me to consider the position

of assistant secretary of war, which you
I were good enough to offer me. I there
fore decline with thanks the appointment,
at the same time regretting that I am
not to serve the administration, for
which 1 worked earnestly."
Mr. Grant declined to be interviewed
beyond giving out the foregoing tele
gram. The man who eats because he is hun
gry is, thus far, on the level with the
I brutes. The man who stops eating the
moment his hunger is appeased is the
, wise man. Nature needs no more food
than he calls for. Continued excess
, brings about indigestion or dyspepsia,
with loss of flesh, strength, sleep, am
bition aud mental power, and ati ac
cumulation of aches, pains and many
dangerous local maladies.
The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some artific
ially digested food which can also digest
other foode. That is to say, we must
use the Shaker Digestive Cordial. The
effect is prompt and cheering. The
chronic pain and distress ceases.
Appetite presently revives. Flesh and
vigor gradually comes back, and the
sufferer recovers. But he must be care
ful in future. A trial bottle for 10 cents.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.
A Harvest for the Sugar Trust.
Philadelphia, April 2. Owing to the
strong condition of the refined Eugar
market, by Monday every refinery in the
city will be running full force, which
means employment of 2000 persons.
Nearly 50,000 tons of raw sugar are en
route by vessels from Germany, the East
Indies, Egypt, South America and West
Indian islands.

New York, April 3. A Madrid dis

the death penalty will be imposed upon
either.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surtaces of
the system, thereby destroying the loun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have ho much
faith In its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address:

Sixteen Kcet.
St. Paul, April 2. The Mississippi
river has reached sixteen feet and is
rising slowly. This is the highest
point reached since the groat flood of
1SS1. The residents of the flats have
had ample warning to save themselves
and their property. Between Minne
apolis and St. Paul 1000 families have
been made homeless. Thty lived along
the riverside and in the lowlands.
Families that lived to the left of ln
terurban bridge nt Minneapolis have
been driven out and a vast body of water
rushes oyer the spot where their homes
used to be. It has swept away many
houses.
On the west side, the water is en
croaching on the Robert-street bridge.
Only two streets in the flats are free
from water, and those only for three
squares. The water is coming up, and
gradually submerging all the lowlands.
Already 200 homes over there .-.re under
water, and more dissappear with each
succeeding hour.
Looking from the pier of old Broadway
bridge toward the south, the west side
looks like an immense lake, with a house
top sticking above the surface here and
there. Many of the residences further
down, are covered, and the lake is float
ing full of all sorts of household goods,
fences, barn roofs, trees and lumber of
all descriptions.
On the upper flats on the other side of
the river the inhahitans awoke this morn
ing to find their yards, and in some cases
their houses flooded. They therefore be
gan to move.
By a sudden rise of the river at South
St. Paul, last night, 150 sheep were
drowned. There are 8000 sheep in the
pens, which are being removed to other
yards. Millions of feet of lumber got
away from the boom companies to the
north, and floated over St. Anthony
falls. The Mississippi & Rum River
Boom Co. estimates its loss at $60,000.
Mrs. A. Inveen, residing at 720 Henry
St., Alton, 111., suffered with sciatic
rheumatism for over eight months. She
doctored for it nearly the whole of tbie
time, using various remedies recom
mended by friends, and was treated by
the physicians, but received no relief.
She then iiEed one and a half bottles of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which affect
ed a complete cure. This is publiehed
at her request, as she wants others simi
larly afflicted to know what cured her.

A Tralllc Agreement.
Cheyenne, Wyo., April 2. General
officers of the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line met hero last night in it con
ference which lasted several hours.
General Manager Baucroft, of the Ore
gon Short Line, said the general plans
for perfecting a traffic arrangement had
been agreed upon, and the two lines
would maintain close and harmoulous
relations. From another source it was
learned the two lines would make prac
tically a great transcontinental system.
Another conference will be held at Salt
Lake in about two weeks.
Two yearB ago R. J. Warren, a drug
gist at Pleasant Brook, N. Y., bought a
small supply of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He sums up the result as fol
lows : "At that time the goods were un
known in this section; to-day Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is a household
word." It is the same in hundreds of
communities. Where ever the good
qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy become known the people will have
nothing else. For sale by Blakeley &
Houghton.
