JLLINOIS. |S- 'M',: McHENRY, California's Fruit Crop. Information resulting from careful Inquiry concerning the present pros- jpecfts ot the Calilfornia fruit crop i9 to the effect that the recent convulsion will not diminish its value by a single dollar. The only considerable locality where fruit was the leading commer­ cial interest was in the Santa Clara •alley, where the property losses were large, but fruit suffered, no injury whatever. Apricots, the earliest fruit to ripen, will not be in large supply this year on account of climatic pe­ culiarities, .the result of too abundant rains, unseasonably prolonged. Cher- ties, at the present moment, are in splendid condition, and the prospect, barring future eventualities, is most excellent. Plums, should every indi­ cation be fulfilled, will be in large - Supply and better in quality than for many years: In each of 1 these fruits, i;ow in an advanced stage, a careful Inspection of the orchards over a wide ... area fails to show that a single apricot, peach (also in large prospective sup­ ply), cherry. or plum, was shaken from the branches by the shock which pros­ trated some of the finest and largest tmUaings in every community where Its violence was greatest. It is yet too early to make observations on the fu­ ture of the grape crop. It is invariably the rule in European countries that ~an earthquake year always assures a full vineyard," an*& if the rule proves good in California, the grape crop of the present year should prove a phe­ nomenal one. A competent authority estimates the quantity of wine con­ sumed in the late San Francisco fire as exceeding 20,000,000 gallons, or nearly one-half year's production, mostly of olcl, high-quality wines; therefore there will be demand for every gallon which the vineyards can produce. The excellent prospect in every agricultural product is distinctly encouraging to the state, though many months must elapse before mercantile interests will benefit from the new supply. |. City's Good Investment. •tether Knickerbocker has been very successful with all his real estate ven­ tures; but never more so than in the case of Central park. Less than half a century ago the present Central park was a waste of rocks and swamps. The city of New York obtained control of the territory and issued bonds to the amount of 13,000,000 for the acquisition of the land. Bonds to the amount of f2,100,000 were issued at the same time for the improvement of the Central park. As this improvement progressed other bonds for $1,725,000, known as "Central park bonds," were issued, and •till more were sold for the building of the arsenal in the Central park and for the reservoir there, bringing up . t!»e total amount of cost to the city of the Central park to $12,500,000. This was the "first cost," states the Sun, > ano an additional sum of $2,500,000 has been expended for construction and Improvement of the Metropolitan Mu­ seum of Art, the One Hundred and Tenth street and Eighth avenue en­ trance and sundry park buildings. In ell $15,000,000 has been er.pended by the people of New York for the acqui­ sition and improvement of Central park. The assessed value of the land included within the boundaries of Cen­ tral park is now $185,000,000. As a matter of fact, the land included with­ in Central park is probably worth $200,- wkM | Reform in Spelling. Five out of nine members of the New York board of school superintendents liave declared in favor of reformed spelling. The Cleveland Plain Dealer th!nks they may use this for them­ selves i! they like, but that they should not attempt to introduce it in the schools. It continues: "Language can­ not be changed by rules or legislation. It is a natural growth, and when there ts a natural demand for a change that cbacge is gradually accomplished, no one knows how. The efforts of a few pedagogues, not one of whom is an au­ thority, for an instantaneous trans­ formation will necessarily be futile, re­ gardless of the merits of the changes proposed. It would be indefensible to tesch children to misspell words mere­ ly because a handful of more or less learned gentlemen have decreed that the words shall be misspelled. The English language has been made and will be modified oy the usage of its best writers anl speakers, and the latest little group of spelling reform advocates is by no means a galaxy of SUCH." Admissions «f Concessions to Stand­ ard Is Cause--Millions la Fines Faced. Cleveland. -- Instructions have been given at Washington to begin criminal proceedings against the Lake Shore railroad, George J. Grammer, vice pres­ ident of the New York Central lines west of Buffalo, the Standard Oil com­ pany, end vhatever other officers may be shown to have been implicated in the payment and receipt of rebates wliien were disclosed in the interstate commerce commission hearing here Thursday. The contemplated proceedings may include Edgar Bogardus, traffic man­ ager of the Standard Oil company at Chicago, and other officers of the Lake Shore at Chicago and Cleveland. This, together with v the complete back-down of the Standard Oil com­ pany, when it was given the eagerly sought opportunity to make a defense before the opmrtiission, was the de­ nouement of the commission's session. Acting under instructions from the commission. Attorney J. M&rchand started for Chicago /with a • view to preparing the cases" for presentation to the federal grand jury there. His instructions are positive With respect to Capi. Grammer, and he has been further ordered to ascertain whether it will be possible to proceed also against the officials of the Lake Shore for a violation of the injunctions Issued more than three years ago and re­ straining the railroads from paying re­ bates or. any kind of traffic. It. is the purpose to proceed under both the in­ junctions and the Elkins amendment to tn° Interstate commerce act. Th's decision is the result of testi­ mony given before the commission that from 1S03 to January, 1906, the Lake Shore paid rebates to the Standard Oil company, in the form of remitted charges for storage of oil. The evi­ dence showed that this was done di­ rectly by the authority of G. J. Gram­ mer, and was discontinued by his ex­ press authority. Auditor Marcus C. Tully, of the Lake Shore, reluctantly told the com­ mission that it had been the practice of Edgar Bogardus to give his bills for storage to the general agent at Chicago, who would forward the ac­ counts to the auditor at Cleveland, who in turn would give the Chicago office credit for the amount without receiving the money from- the Stand­ ard Oil company. The sum thus re­ bated amounted to about $500 a month and is said to have been sufficient to drive other oil dealers out of busi­ ness. The federal grand jury will be asked to indict Vice President Grammer and the Lake Shore for paying these re­ bates. Under the law both the rail­ road company and the official can be fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $20,000 for each offense, and similar treatment can be given the Standard Oil company and the officials of that corporation who may fee shown to have been guilty of solicit­ ing the payment of the rebates. The maximum fines that could be assessed under the law would aggre­ gate $720,000 against the railroad, a like sum againts each of its officers who is guilty and a like sum against the Standard Ofl company and against each of its officials found guilty. It is possible, therefore, for the Stand­ ard Oil company and the railroad company and their officials to be as­ sessed several millions of dollars for infractions of the law. In addition to this, if the commis­ sion's attorney finds that he can pro­ ceed under the injunctions of the courts, and he is now certain that this is possible, a charge of contempt of court might be pressed and in­ volve a punishment by both fine and imprisonment. The testimony in the case was so positive and clear that the commis­ sioners felt that "they could not ignore it. After communication with Wash­ ington it was determined to institute all th9 criminal proceedings possible against the accused and to prosecute them vigorously. The instructions are to leave no stone unturned in the attempt to bring the suspects to the fullest justice. President's Uncle Dead. Sayville, L. I.--Robert B.

INSPECTION BILL OUTLINED COST OF SUPERVISION FALLS ON GOVERNMENT. Requires Federal Label on Meat and Heat Products as Guaranty of Purity. ' Washington.--A meat Inspection provision was completed by the house committee on agriculture Wednesday and will be presented to the house for action at once, which it is declared by the committee will insure that American meats and meat products are healthful, clean and in every re­ spect wholesome and fit for food. The important features of the legis­ lation are that it places the cost of the inspection on the government and makes an annual automatic appropria­ tion of $2,000,000 to pay the expenses. It requires a rigid post mortem and ante mortem inspection of all animals killed for food. It requires a govern­ ment label as a passport for all meat and meat products which enter inter­ state commerce and in addition to this label, a certificate of purity to the car­ rier and to the secretary of agriculture for such pcoducts which enter for­ eign commerce. To secure this label tbe product must be handled in ac­ cordance with sanitary regulations to 4)e prescribed by the secretary of ag­ riculture,who is authorized to employ, without regard to the civil service law for the first year, an adequate corps of efficient inspectors to supervise the enforcement of his regulations. ii prohibits the use of preservatives or chemicals in the preparation of meat foods which are deleterious to health, and leaves the matter of de­ termining this question' to the secre­ tary of agriculture. The label on the product is to indicate the ingredients, but the date of manufacture is not required to be stated. The sanitary requirements which the secretary is to prescribe and en­ force must insure complete sanitation as to all buildings, whether slaughter houses or canning establishments. Washington. -- Chairman Wads- worth of the liouse committee on agri­ culture Friday night made public the correspondence between President Roosevelt and "himself regarding the committee. The president in kis letter says thai almost every change in the house amendment was for the worse ^s com­ pared with the senate amendment, and, in his judgment, so framed as to minimize the chances of rooting out the evils in the packing, business. Mr. Wadsworth declares tlie presi­ dent Is "very, very wrong" in his es­ timate of the committee's bill, calls attention to provisions in the bill and concludes with an expression of regret that the president should feel justified, by innuendo at least, in impugning the sincerity and the competency of a com­ mittee of the house of representatives. "You have no warrant for it," says Mr. Wadsworth, in closing. No Bill in Asylum Case.

City, Mo.--Armour ft Co., Swift & Co., Cudahy & Co., and the Nelson Morris Packing company were found guilty in the United States dis­ trict court here Tuesday of accepting rebates from the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway on export shipments on packing house products. The specific case considered, .which was practically identical with the othr ers, was that charging Cudahy & Co. with accepting a rate of 23 cents per 100 pounds on a shipment of lard to New York for export to Germany, when the legal tariff then on file with the interstate commerce commission was 35 cents.

Among those who participated in the exercises were 152 men who had voted for Fremont for president. They en­ tered the hall in a body and were as­ signed seats in the front part of the auditorium.

BIG HOTEL ANNEX BURNED Many Firemen Overcome by Heat aad Smoke While Fighting Flames at St Paul. St Paul, Minn.--The six-story Ryaa arniex building was completely gutted by a fire which was discovered shortly after eight o'clock Sunday morning, and which burned fiercely all day. The estimated damage to the building and the stocks of the occupants is between $450,000 and $500,000. The fire originated in the basement of the store occupied by the Palace Clothing company, supposedly from a defective electric wire. It had gained great headway when the fire depart­ ment reached the building, but prob­ ably would have been confined to the basement but for the fact that a series of gas explosions prevented the fire­ men irom getting at the flames and cause i the blaze to spread throughout the entire structure. Several firemen were badly cut by flying pieces of glass and 37 were over­ come by heat and smbke.

Pleasant Brery MomiHg _ Ten O'clock; the Rest of the Da$| Will Take Care of Itself." % This is one of the best little set*"- moss we know, Havo you ever stopped to think that the morning is the time when your temper is usu­ ally ruffled, and have you ever stopped to think that the cause of bad temper in the mornin j is nearly always because your stomach has not been working properly during the night? It has contained a lot of indi­ gestible substances that form gf» and makes you have dreams. It breaks up your rest and you wake up in the morning tired, 'instead of re* freshed, as nature intended you should. Our grand sires required no ad* monition to "Be pleasant every morn­ ing until 10 o'clock; the rest of the day will take care of itself." for they digested their food and woke up full of life and energy ready for the day's duties, and this was because they lived on simple foods instead of high­ ly seasoned palatable concoctions, which contain no nourishment. Na­ ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs, and on these foods a person can live Indefinitely, but if the milk is skimmed, and if the outside of the wheat is taken off the kernel, and if the lime, the salt, and the iron, which is in the outer part of the wheat berry, if these are all removed, you bave simply starch alone; the starcb goes into the stomach and becomes sugar. • Do you know that a person would starve to death on plain white bread and water? Do you know that he could live indefinitely on whole wheat bread or on whole wheat food ano water? These interesting facts are all set forth in a book called "Back to Nature," which tells about proper living and gives recipes for meals of the simple kind--the kind that makes you strong and well; the kind that makes you "Pleasant every morning until 10 o'clock." This book is pub­ lished at a great expense, but it is given free to every reader of this paper. It is an advertisement of "EGG-O-SEE," the great food--which Is made from whole wheat, which is baked and predigested and is all ready to serve from the package you buy at your grocers. You get more life and energy from a 10-cent pack­ age of EGG-O-SEE than you will get from a thousand dollars' worth of white bread. This is no idle claim. It is a scientific fact.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham J " For five years 1 was troubled with a. _ tumor, which kept JIArs. Jc rah HeJtogQ growing,causing me> intense agony ana great mental depression.

" I could not bear to tbink of an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy whioh I thought would be of any use to me, and reading of the value of Ly<Ha E. Pinkhamls. Vegetable Compound to sick women decided to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I had little hope of recovery, and when I began to feel better, after the second week, thought, it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, while the tumor lessened in size. " The Compound continued to build up my general health and the tumor seemed to absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor was ent i re ly gone and I a wel l woman. lam Bo thankful for my recovery that I ask yea to publish my letter in newspapers, so oth^r women may know of the wonderful curative powers of Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."
