Plumb, McCausland & Co. shipped com- plete lumber outfits last week to Wm. Hud- son, Remus; C. Merrill & Co.; Summit; and C. H. Plummer, Summit. F. P. Plumb, the elongated end of the firm of Plumb, McCausland & Co., drove down to Jackson with his span of flyers a few days ago, as is his usual custom during the summer months. He is expected back the coming week. Superintendent Curtiss, of the Michigan Dairy Salt Co., states that the output of dairy salt at his establishment will be about 60,000 barrels this year and that it is ex- pected to increase the product to an even 100,000 barrels during 1887.

The the spacious store was soon an animated scene, while the band volunteered a very fine serenade in front of the building. About three weeks ago a representative of a Detroit grocery house was stationed here, soliciting orders of consumers for goods. He was very successful and a number in town and nearly every farmer within a ra- dius of twenty miles around here bought a bill of from five to fifty dollars. The godds were delivered last week and some $2,000 in cash was taken from the hands of honest merchants here, and went to fill the coffers of Detroit schemers. If the goods were honest, they can not be duplicated in De- troit at wholesale prices by any of our mer- chants, and if they were dishonest, those who were inveigled will soon find it out to their cost. Anyhow, such proceedings have a tendency to make people dissatisfied with the prices of home dealers and ought to be stopped. The side walls of E. L. Gray’s block are completed, and he will soon be the occupant of the finest office in Newaygo county. The basement walls of Wm. Whiteman’s hotel block are fast nearing completion, and oe work is being rushed as rapidly as pos- sible, . DAVE SMITH’S NEW HOME. [ wiITH DAVE IN THE FOREGROUND. | The Gripsack Brigade. Geo. P.

The wife of A. L. Lay, who was a dele- gate from Battle Creek to the Baltimore convention, met with a serious accident on the 27th ult. While gathering pears she fell out of a tree and broke her right hip. At last accounts, she was doing as well as circumstances would permit. At a meeting of State Board of Directors, held immediately after the convention on August 28, L. J. Koster was elected chairman of the Board. A_ resolution was passed empowering the Secretary-Treasurer to use $100 for immediate contingencies. i -9- te _ Cranberry Extract. Josiah Babeoek The American cranberry has been exam- ined by Mr. Classen in order to determine whether it contains either arbutin, like the allied cowberry, or kinie acid. Mr. Classen reports that he failed to detect arbutin, but that all parts of the plant contain a_ bitter uncrystallizable glucoside that he proposes to name ‘‘oxycoccin.” It is descibed as a yellowish-brown extract, giving when dried a very hygroscopic powder, readily soluble in water and alcohol and very sparingly so in etherand chloroform. It resembles ar- butin in its behavior towards some reagents, especially in giving a blue color with phos- phomolybdie acid and ammonia. 0 Worth Remembering. Chas. E. Watson and Ed. P. Andrew, traveling ambassadors for S. A. Maxwell & Co., will be at Sweet’s Hotel, October 10th to 16th inelusive, with the finest line of hol- iday goods ever shown in this State. This will be an excellent opportunity for outside merchants to visit the city and make selec- tions for the fall and winter trade.

From the Detroit Tribune. ‘Two drams of morphine, please,” said a tall brunette to the Woodward avenue drug- gist, Mr. A. Bassett. “Who is it for—yourself?” ‘No, it’s for a lady friend who is at our house on a visit. ‘Always for some one else,” remarked Mr. Bassett some moments later when the young lady had quitted the store. “They never want it for themselves. Poor fools, I wonder if they really think they deceive anybody?” ‘‘Is morphine used very much as a bev- erage, so to speak?” “It is not only used very largely, but its use is constantly increasing. When I am firmly convinced a person wishes it for its intoxicating effect I always warn him, and hardly a day passes but that I refuse to sell it; but it never does any good. There is some chance of a whisky drunkard reform- ing, but a morphine or opium sot, never. One woman has bought opium of me for ten years. She is a perfect sot, worse than any liquor sot youever saw. I have many such customers. I sell it because they will have it somehow. One lady of high social stand- ing, who died recently, used to take 120 grains every twenty-four hours. She trans- mitted the habit to her two daughters—ele- gant young ladies—and only a short time ago one of them was picked up by the police from the steps of a synagogue, a total wreck in mind and body. She was sent to the Pentiac insane asylum, but soon after returned and she and sister kept going low- er until they were the vilest drabs that walked the streets. Vast quantities of gum opium are used also. I find very little call for chloroform, though it is used to some extent; but laudanum is in large demand. The other nervines or opiates don’t amount to much. Ihave been in business twenty years and never had a regular customer for arsenic. The stories about its habitual use are chimerical, or largely so.” Mr. Milburn, of Milburn & Williamson, said: ‘‘Wedon’t have any regular custo- mers for arsenic, and in the twenty-six years I have been in business I don’t recall a single person who used the drug habit- ually. But the use of morphine is growing alarmingly. City people mostly make use of morphine, as it does not flavor the breath, while outsiders use the gum, which can eas- ily be detected in the breath. Of course it is the upper class who use morphine; poor people cannot afford it. I have seen many sad sights from its use—in fact hardly a day passes that some lamentable spectacle is not presented. The chloroform habit is growing also. It is carried in a bottle in the pocket or in the handbag and taken out from time to time and inhaled. The use of chloral hydrate is increasing as well; but the most serious thing is cocaine. It was introduced and prescribed by physicians for eatarrh, which is largely prevalent in all lake shore districts, and from , that its use has been taken up as an intoxicant. It is a terrible thing. Morphine can be taken for thirty years without causing death, but the cocaine victim rarely lasts beyond a year.” The Central drug store at 133 ‘Woodward avenue confirmed the above statements, es- pecially as to the rapid increase in the use of chloroform. A prominent physician said regarding poisons in general? ‘‘Arsenic is taken by a few misguided women to beautify the com- plexion. It does clear the skin somewhat for a few years, seeming to neutralize the oxidation of the blood. The red coloring matter is thus bleached, and the complex- given a puffy, waxy-white appearance; but the time comes when the toxic effect fails and then unsightiy blotches appear, the skin turns yellow and of a dirty color and becomes wrinkled and flabby. Bella- dona is taken because it causes relaxation of all the circular muscles. The iris of the eye is a circular muscle, and belladona causes it to recede, thus exposing more of the pupil and apparantly brightening the eye. ‘“‘Arsenic is a mechanical poison. It burns through the stomach like hot lead, producing convulsions and death. Prussic acid (cyanide of potassium) is a subtle poi- son, going at once to the heart and produc- ing paralysis of that organ. Other poisons, like opium, suspend respiration and death ensuses from scepticemz or blood-poison- ing. Corsets retard the circulation, produc- ing cold feet and the partial death of the organs of the lower part of the body. ‘They also prevent full inhalation of air into the lungs; thus the blood is not relieved of its impurities, and a tight lacer always has a muddy, dirty look about the face in a few years, which renders powder and paint necessary. The corset is a stimulent, as much so as whisky. A boy’s first drink strangles him; a girl’s first corset smothers her. After acquiring the habit the young man feels better for a drink, the girl is sprightlier when laced. A few years later the man cannot work without a drink, he is lost and confused; the woman feels as though she was falling all to pieces with- out a corset. If the man be spoken to he will say that he can quit whenever he likes, and the woman will deny that her corset is tight. The children of such parents are usually inferior in body and mind; they cannot fight the battle of life, and sink into poverty, crime, or insanity—all because their parents used stimulants.” ———————2_.--.__ Official Programme of the Coming Phar- maceutical Convention.

MUSKEGON, Sept. 4, 1886. Editor MICHIGAN TRADESMAN: DEAR Str—The second and last August meeting of the M. D. C. A. was held at the Arlington on the 25th, with a full atten- dance. President I. C. Terry called the meeting to order and appointed Geo. L. Le- Fevre as critic. A communication from Chicago was read, stating that a movement was on foot to organize a Drug Clerks’ As- sociation in that city, which promised to be a very large one, if successful. A paper bearing the subject ‘‘Nux Vomica” was read by I. C. Terry; also the remainder of the paper on ‘‘Potassium” was read by E. C. Bond, which altogether made a very long and interesting paper. After a short dis- cussion of the papers read, Ex-President I. F. Hopkins was elected an honorary mem- ber of the Association. The critic’s report was then read and the meeting adjourned. The next meeting falls on September 8. Yours respectfully, L. B. GLovER, Sec’y. <> -o- Jacob Jesson, of Muskegon, S. E. Park- ill, of Owosso, and Geo.

From the Youths’ Companion. : An elderly woman, with keen gray eyes looking sharply through steel-bowed spec- tacles, enters and casually exemines several bolts of lawn lying on the counter. “Ah, good day, Mrs. H——,” says the proprietor, coming briskly forward, antici- pating a sale. ‘Looking for lawns?” ‘No, I dono as I was,” says the possible customer, guardedly. ‘‘I was just noticing these.” ‘“‘They’re pretty patterns. I just got them in.” *‘They’re all so light.” “Light colors are all the rage this sum- mer. But here’s a black and white piece that’s just the thing for you. Now, isn’t that neat?” “Yes ruther; but it ain’t just what I like. How much is it?” “Fifteen cents a yard.” “Ain't that dreadful high for lawns?” Not for lawns of that quality. Just see how fine it is.” “Yes, but they’re selling lawns ev’ry mite and grain as good as that in the city for eight and nine cents.” “Impossible, Mrs. H.——!” i | | = E a FOK & BRADFORD, WHOLESALE TUDAGCONIMS Full Line Key West Goods in Stock.

And one of my neigh- ‘bors got a good piece for seven cente.” “‘They are not such goods as this.” “It’s pretty nigh the very same thing. 1) hadn’t calculated on giving more than ten | cents.” “Why, Mrs. H——, this cost more than | that at wholesale!” “Qh, I guess not. Anyhow I can’t give but ten cents a yard.” “7 can’t take it.” “*T won’t give any more. “Well, just examine that lawn closely mow.” Le “Tt looks well enough, but I ain’t at all sure that it won’t fade.” | ” “J]) warrant it not to fade. It’s a stan- Fe & dard make and fast colors.” ‘‘Well, how many yards are there in the piece?” “Thirteen; just a good full pattern.” “Pleven would be a great plenty for me.” “Now, I’ll tell you what I'll do, V’ll let ~you have the piece for fourteen cents a yard, seeing as it’s all I’ve got left.” ““Can’t you say an even twelve cents to an old eustomer like me?” “No, really, I couldn’t.” “‘Fourteen cents is too much for lawn that’s ‘selling ev’rywhere for ten cents.” “Oh, I think you’re mistaken.” “Well, see here, Pll give you twelve and one-half cents a yard for it.” “No,I couldn’t go below thirteen cents, and wouldn’t let anybody but you have it for hat.” “Well, I'll give you thirteen cents if you'll call it twelve yards.” “But there’s full thirteen yards in the piece.” “Well, eall it twelve and I'll take it.” *Can’t do it.” “T reckon you’ll throw in thread and but- fons and waistlinings?” “Couldn’t do it for that money.” “‘Well, say thread snd buttons, then?” *V’l] throw in a spool of thread.” *‘And a card cf hooks and eyes?” “Well, I don’t know—yes, I will.” *“‘Now, why can’t you say buttons, too?” *T really cannot; I’m losing money now.” *‘And you can’t make it twelve and one- ‘half cents a yard?” “No.” “Well, I guess I won't take it. I ain’t needing a lawn dress this summer, any- how.” —_— ++ He Was More Than a Splinter. ‘The presence in the city last week of "Tim Tarsney, member of Congress from the Saginaw district, recalls an incident which occurred about a dozen years ago, when Tim. was Squire Tarsney. Through an unfavorable decision in a dog case, Tim. incurred the enmity of a fellow who made dire threats against his personal safety. **J’]] show him,” he said, shaking his fist and gritting his teeth dangerously. “Po it,” urged his partner, “‘he ain’t nothin’ but.a splinter, nohow,” “You bet I will,” said the fellow, and he went off after Tim. In about an hour he returned, looking as if he had been caught in a threshing ma- ehine. “HWello, Bill,” said his friend, ‘‘what the devil’s the matter?” “Purn your fool soul,” he replied, ‘‘didn’t you tell me Tim Tarsney wan’t no more’n a splinter, nohow?” “Course I did; an’ he ain’t.” **Ain’t he?’ said the other man scorn- fully. ‘‘Ain’t he? Well, you tackle him once an’ you'll fin’ out mighty durn quick that he’s a saw-log with the bark on. Go git the doctor.” Green Grocer. The green grocer in London is one who sells vegetables.

In 1842 there was plying on Grand _ river, between Lyons and Grand Rapids, a scow covered with canvas in case of rain. We do not recollect the name of the craft. It was the property of Daniel Ball, of Grand Rapids. In 1843-44 the boat South Bend, similar to the canal boat in every respect except that there was a passage-way on each side of the boat for the men to travel from stem to stern, and vice versa. The boat was propelled (as were all boats before the in- troduction of steam) by setting poles. As the business of moving grain increased and more merchandise was required, another boat, the Jessic, was put on the river in 1845-46, and was run in connection with the South Bend. At times when the river was high, the water too deep for using the set- ting poles, and the current strong, they were compelled to send a rope from point to point in a row-boat, fastening one end to a tree, and then ‘‘altogether; a long pull, a strong pnil,” ete. They wonld pull to a point where they had tied, then repeat the perfor- mance. This locomotion was of necessity very slow, frequently taking from six to eight days to get from Grand Rapids to Ionia, making freights very high. Later, in 1846, the boat Fred Hall was put on the line by Irish & Van Allen, of Lyons. The same year the Jonah, another pole boat was put on by Wm. Beach & Co., of Rochester, N. Y., who were buying wheat here to supply their mill at that place. The next year, 1847, the steamer Hum- ming Bird commenced plying on the line, commanded by Capt. Robt. S. Parks, for- merly an old ‘Yesident of this county. It carried passengers and freight, and did some towing of other boats up the river. This was a great convenience to people, as the boat would run up to the bank anywhere and take on passengers or freight, or dis- charge the same. This boat made the trip from Ionia to Grand Rapids in one day and and back the next, thus giving the inhabi- tants some communication with the outside world. We forgot to mention another pole boat, or rather a canoe, which was called the Marasuck. Itwassomesixty feet in length, made by the Indians out of a large white- wood tree, and capable of carrying twenty- five barrels of lime. Chas. L. Hecox, then a resident of this village, took the contract of furnishing the lime for the county build- ings or offices, which were built in 1844, and occupied until a year or two ago. He transported the lime in the above mentioned boat from Grand Rapids. Later the side-wheel steamer J. F. Por- ter was puton. This boat had two locomo- tive engines, and was capable of running ten miles an hour against a stiff current. This boat was a credit to the company who put it on the line, and our river banks were always lined to greet the traveling public, as she was almost invariably loaded with passengers both ways. The succeeding year, or in 1849, Capt. Robt. 8. Parks drew off the Humming Bird, and had constructed a stern-wheel steamer called the Naubeck, named after a noted Indian chief. She was a staunch and good boat, but did not make as rapid a traveler as the Porter. It was well fitted up for freight, and had good accommodations for passen- gers. It was on this new steamer that our friend and fellow-townsinan, Chas. L. Wil- son, earned the first money, which he never got. Perhaps if Charlie had possessed a little of the cheek he has since acquired, h might not have been so badly left by the doughty captain. In 1850 a stock company from Grand Rap- ids built and put on this line the steamer Forest Queen. She was a magnificent boat, but was too large for the river above the Rapids. She was not completed so as to start very early in the spring, and as the water was getting too low for her to run on the intended route. she was drawn oif and run between Grand Rapids and Grand Haven. She wasa failure as an up-river boat on account of her size, and made only two or three trips, not getting above Sara- nae. The freight rates those early days were comparatively cheap; being only 44 cents per hundred from Chicago without classification. This rate was for goods laid on the bank, including cartage around the Rapids to Saranac. Capt. R. Simmons, a former old settler of Saranac and Boston, was for a time pilot on the Humming Bird, Porter and Nau- beck, and master of one or two of the boats spoken of. Vine Welch, of Keene, since deceaséd, was an old river pilot when the first steamer came on the river. The rail- road coming caused the river transportation to be slow and the boats were drawn off. 2 > —— Origin of the Word Dun. Some have derivd the word from the French ‘word donnez, signifying give, implying a demand of something due; and others from the Saxon dunon, to clamor. Both are wrong, Ge origin of the word is proved to be simply this: In the reign of Henry VII. a famous bailiff named Joe Dun lived in the towh of Lincoln. This man was s0 ex- tremely dextrous in his rough business that it was usual when a person refused to pay his debts, to say: ‘‘Why don’t you Dun him?” that is, why don’t you send Dun to arrest him?” And hence the custom of alling a person who presses another for the payment of money a dun. It is a custom which has been in vogue since the days of Henry VIL. Lamps are filled direct by THE PUMP without lifting the Can. The Fill- ing Tube adjusting to suit the heighth of any lamp.

Brutus, Sept. 3, 1886. Editor MICHIGAN TRADESMAN: DEAR Srre—Since reading the ‘‘Bogus Butter Bill,” which has now become a law, it has been quite doubtful to me if the act is right or just and whether it is on a good basis. Now, Mr. Editor, I think that if the composite parts of oleo-butterine, or what- ever name bogus butter is manufactured un- der, are unfit for food that we have no right to license it or allow it to be sold at all. And if it is an article which is not injurious to health and composed of articles which separate by themselves are allowed to be sold as food without tax, why tax them when mixed togeather. If they have no right to sell butter, lard, suet, ete., mix- ed together for butter, then what right have we to sell a mixture of chicory, peas, beans and a little coffee for coffee; or glucose, clay, ete., mixed with sugar for sugar? Why have we not put a license tax on other adulterated articles of food and appointed inspectors to go around among the dealers and see if they are properly branded; and, if handled, collect the tax. It does not look clear to me that if I want to retail butterine I must pay $48 per year for the privilege; but I can sell a dozen other articles of adul- terated food, if I wish to, free. I would like to hear from others in regard to it. Truly yours, H. W. MorForp. >> > The Grocery Market. Business is better than could reasonably be expected and collections are equally sat- isfactory. Sugars have taken a downward turn. Thecorn syrup manufacturers have formed a combination, haying for its object the maintenance of uniform prices. Under the new arrangement, representatives of the factories are required to make sworn month- ly reports of their sales to the combination, which precludes any cutting in the iron-clad price established by the compact. One re- sult of the union is an advance of two cents per gallon, and those who are in a position to know whereof they speak claim that fur- ther advances are sure to come. With these facts in view, it would seem that the sooner the merchant made his purchases the better it would be for him. Candy is steady. Nuts are steady and firm, with the exception of peanuts, which are a shade lower. Lemons are scare and high. 9 A Pertinent Suggestion. Bie Rarips, Sept. 1, 1886. E, A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Sir—I see by your paper that there is to be a meeting to form a State Associa- tion, and, as I do not expect to be there, there is one thing that would help our trade a good deal that is, if the railroads would give our members the same rates that com- mercial men get, say two cents per mile. That would be an inducement for them to visit the markets oftener, and some one should see the railroad officials before the meeting and have that attended to. Say all members having cards from their Asso- ciation should be entitled to reduced rates and that would help bring in new members. What say you? Yourstruly, F.

We are apparently just beginning to ap- preciate what a potent factor petroleum is destined to be in future industrial enter- prises. There are many who already assert that the reign of Coal is passing away, and that Petroleum will be King. It is certain, at least, that there is a great future before crude petroleum as a fuel. The question of its value for this purpose has passed from the plane of experiment to that of demon- strated fact. a The Invitation is Accepted. MANTON, Sept. 2, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: Dear Str—Yours of 28th ult. to hand and noted. I have conferred with our bus- iness men here and if you can come Wed- nesday, September 8, we will be pleased to have you. Yours respectfully, R. FULLER. a Oe The late A. T. Stewart found it to his ad- vantage to give to each head of a depart- ment of his business a percentage of the ‘profits in that department, in addition to a guaranteed salary. One year the head of the lace department earned $27,000, and the head of another department $29,000, the percentage being about one per cent. of the net profits in the department. A Grand Rapids Man in Canada. Boston, Aug. 24, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids; : DEAR Srr—As the fates will have it, you appear to me in paper form at all my moor- ings. Since I saw you I have passed through Her Majesty’s frog pond, visited some of her large cities and am now esconsed for two weeks’ work here. Queen Vic. gave us a beautiful lay out of green foliage all along the line to the quaint old city of Quebec. Abundance of rain and absence of frosts with excessive heat for that region, has forced plant life far beyond our expec- tations and beyond what is usual for them. The far-reaching Grand Trunk Railway passes through a vertable garden. We of a State unsurpassed are apt to get the idea that all north and in the Dominion, so far toward Arctic snow, is void of vegetation. Far from it. Among rocks and ledges, where it would bother his goatship to climb, you find rank growth. And well it is so, as after three or four months—spring, sum- mer and fall—you drop into an everlasting winter with snows covering that craig thirty to forty feet. deep, as they tell it. One not only needs the rank growth, but with it all they can have carted to them. Excessive heat they complain of. We say excessive cool. We were obliged to don our flannels, and poor I had to invest ina winter suit. Price may have been some temptation especially where we can wear it across the line. And speaking of prices, if such is the result of free trade, our boys don’t want it. I saw the pay roll for a shoe shop and one only carried off $8 for his week’s work and the average was under $4. The force of one large tannery went out with $4 and under. The laborer is lucky who gets a job at 75 cents a day. Is living cheap? Yes, and you would say it was cheap living, if you had to come to it. And yet they are strong and happy. At that small wage, the Blessed Virgin comes in for ashare. The robed priest and apostles put in an appearance on every side, with an outstretched arm for pence. There is a chance to donate at every turn. You've all heard this before, but you have not ail seen the quaint old city of Quebec, with its many attractions and peculiar ways. They live on Southerners there, as Southerners live on Northerners. ‘The two extremes again, and they meet. Such expressions as these are by no means uncommon: ‘‘That man is from New York, a banker there.” ‘‘That place belongs to a once-bloated bond-holder. (He held some other fellow’s bonds too long you know.)” ‘They are outlawed, and not, as I understand, received in society as they would like to be, and as their money would enable them to be in Grand Rapids. I will not for a long time forget our old fellow townsman and wife, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Polly. They gave usa hearty wel- come and did more than one could ask to make our stay long and pleasant at Quebec. He is prospering in manufacturing shoes, having two shops, and he sends a greeting to you all, and a welcome if you’ll come to him. Leaving the Canadians in their glory, which is in fast driving (the only thing I could see they were fast in) and preparing for toboganing next October we proceeded to the Hub, where we find humanity moves in* the same channel as before—each trying to get away with the other fellow’s money. Some have accomplished it, too, by the way it is pointed out to us tourists. Yours truly, Won. T. Hess. a a i ee ‘“Wouldn’t Like It Now.” The young man who was courting the girl of the house pushed back from the card table and casually enquired: ‘‘Where is that bright red table cover you used to have? I always liked that.” “You wouldn’t like it now,” interposed little Tommy. “Tommy,” said his sister Clara, ‘‘run away and play, there’s a dear.” “TI won’t answered Tommy. “Sh! Tommy, hush.” : ‘*‘Won’t” answered Tommy again. And, as he was hustled from the room, he yelled: “Sister’s made a petticoat outen that table cloth.” ‘‘Sister’s—” —_—— 2 Ably Conducted.

GLEN ARBOR, Aug. 21, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Srr—I expect about 300 barrels, if frost or insects do no damage to the berries before picking. Last year’s crop was sixty- nine barrels.

Last year I got | but few, as most were stolen, but perhaps fifty bushel were taken off the marsh, which is a natural bog. Yours truly, F. B. BREWER, JR. THREE RIVERS. THREE Rivers, Aug. 26, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Str—The cranberry marsh attrib- uted by your paper as belonging to me is not my property and never was. It belongs to the estate of Sidney Johnson. Mr. John- son was formerly my partner in the essen- tial oil business, which fact accounts, I suppose, for the mistake. However, I can post youin regard to the Johnson marsh. It is in fine condition and promises to yield this year 1,000 bushels of berries, about the same, or a trifle less than last years The berries are beginning to ripen and are very large. Yours, Henry HAL. ——i>— 9 V’ll tell you how I got on. It wasn’t by getting astride a stick and thinking it would turn into a horse, if I sat on it long enough. ‘I kept my eyes and ears open, sir, and I wasn’t too fond of my own back, and I interest my own, Association Work in Cleveland. From the Cleveland Leader, 2nd. There was an immense crowd of commis- sion men, hucksters, and grocerymen at the City Solicitor’s office yesterday. An effort was made to agree upon an ordinance gov- erning the peddling of produce upon the streets. The grocers of the city have asked that a heavier license fee be required of hucksters, and an ordinance was introduced in the council a few weeks ago to that ef- fect. The new measure provides that street hucksters must pay $100 per year, and that not more than one wagon be oper- ated under one license. The hucksters con- sidered this too great, and asked for a con- ference. Twenty or thirty other hucksters were present, and took an active interest in the proceedings. Mr. Port thought $35 was enough for the hucksters to pay. He did not believe licenses should be issued for less than a year. Mr. Bohn, one of the grocery- men, said that a great many grocerymen paid that amount of rent every month. Mr. McGinty, another groceryman, did not think the amount too high. One of the hucksters asked why it was that farmers were not obliged to take out a license. Chairman Herrman replied that the State law prohib- ited it. ‘There was a long discussion over the sec- tion, fixing the fees for licenses of the third class, The present fee is $2 per year. The new ordinance places the amount at $25. Third-class licenses permit the ped- dling of dry goods, notions, ete. The clause in this section permitting the May- or to issue free licenses, was talked over at length. Mr. Burroughs, a commission merchant, said that the mayor was thus left free to pay his politial debts. There was a unanimous sentiment against free peanut stands and basket banana peddlers. Mr. Burroughs believed that two or three men, or six if necessary, should be appointed to look after licenses, and guard the citizens against deadbeats. This gentleman also thought something should be done to pro- tect the people against the frauds that are being perpetrated upon them by peddlers. He said that certain peddlers would buy a few jars of oleomargarine, tie a bundle of hay on the back of the wagon to convey the idea that the rig had come in from the country, and sell the oleo for dairy butter. This was only a sample of the way in which the people were being gulled. Lots of old fruit and refuse produce was being worked off on the people in this way, and was rep- resented as being fresh from the. country. Another matter that was talked over at some length was the system of shipping of potatoes or fruit to the city by the ship or ear load and selling without a license. Mr. Burroughs remarked that the tenants of the cars and ships expected police and fire pro- tection, but were unwilling to pay anything in consideration therefor. In the absence of City Solicitor Brinsmade, no alternations were made in the ordinance. Mr. Herrman, whois: president of the Grocers’ Associa- tion, will call another meeting within a few days, when an effort will be made to agree upon an ordinance that will be satisfactory to all classes.- It is probable that one sec- tion will be added requiring banana ped- dlers to take out a $25 license, and another restricting the number of persons to: whom free licenses can be issued. ei ~ Stocks, 12 in. 12, 14 and ié feet. 12 00 Blacksmith’s Solid Cast Steel, Hand. ry ¢ 40%10 | No! 2 Stocks, Pi in. 18 feet. os 13 00 Barn Door Kidder Mtn Go” _ No. 2 Stocks, 12 in., 20 feet...

It was ona Chicago & West Michigan accommodation train that a passenger got mad at the conductor for compelling him to pay his fare. ‘The passenger ,was trying to ride on the strength of his having held an annual pass the year before, but the con- ductor scouted the idea and said something about last year’s birds’ nests. As the of- ficial was about to leave the car, the pas- senger, in the style of cowardly men, when the objects of their wrath are out of hear- ing, muttered: “Tf this wasn’t on a train Vd lick that thieving raseal out of his boots.” It happened in this case that the con- ductor was not quite out of hearing; his quick ears overheard the remark, and he turned with a savage: ‘What's that?” “T say if we were not on boarda train I'd make it hot for you. I’d ask you outside and do you up:” ‘“*You would?” “Yes, I would.” “How long would it take you ready to do a job like that?” ‘*About a minute.” ‘“‘Well, then,” replied the conductor, pull- ing off his coat and giving a vicious yank at the bell rope, ‘‘peel off your duds, there’s a nice bit of prairie along the track here, and I’ll give you all the satisfaction you want. This is an accommodation train, put on by the company on purpose to suit the convenience of passengers, and orders on the C. & W. M. are to treat all travelers with respect, and pay attention to all their wants. Are you ready?” But the passenger concluded he’d rather have the train hurry on; he was afraid he’d miss his connection. or O- Pure Apple Cider Vinegar. Amos S.
